Mine is plain/lightly salted Doritos/tortilla chips dipped/scraped in unsalted butter.

I’m now wondering whether this is a little too specific of a question and I just really needed somewhere to get this off my chest…

    I dunno, I don’t really do guilt beyond truly bad acts done by choice.

    That being said, I am a chocolate milk fiend.

    I have to strictly limit myself or I’d drink nothing else, and not eat anything useful nutritionally.

    Chocolate in general is my one true vice. I don’t drink, I don’t use recreational drugs, I’m monogamous (and happily so), I quit tobacco, and even caffeine beyond trace amounts in decaf. But you try an take chocolate out of my life, and I will fuck you up.

    I’ll even accept Hershey’s if there’s nothing else available.

    But chocolate milk? Fuck me running. Cold, sweet, chocolatey goodness. I will walk right the fuck over infants and kittens if there’s a cup on the other side. Puppies? I dunno, I think I’d try to step between them, but I’m not making promises.

    Home made is incredible. But my particular weaknesses are the pet trumoo, and the promised land midnight. They use thickeners that up the silky texture. The promised land stuff is meant to be more like melted ice cream, and it succeeds.

    Which, don’t even ask me how quick I can kill a pint of hagendaz chocolate. Don’t blink is all I’ll say there.

    I have no guilt involved there, but holy fuck is it an indulgence.

      Oh, man. I’m in my 30s, and now that my son is 6.5yo and has found his passion for chocolate milk, I rediscovered mine. We purposefully limit how much we buy every time we do the groceries, or we’d both be drinking the thing day and night. I’m slightly lactose intolerant, on top of it…

        So Troi is half betazoid, and grew up with her mother on betazed. Where, presumably, there was no chocolate.

        I know I know they have replicators and whatever. I just find it amusing that chocolate from Earth is so appealing as a flavor that less than a hundred years after joining the federation, Betazoid children are growing up loving chocolate frequently enough that Troi develops a strong taste for it.

      There’s a local brand in Vermont named monument farms - they make an insanely good whole chocolate milk. If you ever get a chance to have it go for it. I’m lactose intolerant but when I lived in Vermont I accepted all consequences to occasionally enjoy a nice tall glass of that.

      I don’t know how regional this is, but Prairie Farms has a line of “premium” milks sold in small 1 serving bottles (and occasionally pints too) that I’ve only found at gas stations. The chocolate milk of that variety is really good but the strawberry milk is the nectar of the gods

        I once had a bloody nose while walking, I was about a half hour away from home. Since I don’t carry tissues, I did what made the most sense and just held my thumb over my nostril. Once I got home I grabbed a tissue and took my thumb away while leaning over the bathroom sink. Nothing came out, but my nose was plugged. I twisted the tissue and inserted it, removing it pulled out a 3 inch long bloodclot cast of the inside of my sinus that fell onto the palm of my weak hand. It was like a slug made of blood. The feeling of it slithering from my face was what I imagine to be the closest approximation of what the loving embrace of a benevolent god feels like while cumming. It was a transcendental natural high that no experience has come close to.

        No lying, I have in the past. I spent $5 here and there on a game I played for about two years. The total was certainly under $50. I have known people to spend a lot though.

        Sad story, I stopped playing that game because I betrayed my long-time league by using a hacked game and getting banned from the game. They had invested a lot of trust in me and given me leadership over their original team. I wanted to be like them, but I didn’t have the skill, so I cheated. I lost that team for them forever. I loved those guys, I really did, what a great time and a great social outlet. I even met one of them for lunch. Real friends online.

      Man I feel this. I’ve been obsessed with Cooking Diary since May of last year.

      Just this morning, I popped awake, threw on some YT drama videos for background noise, and just played CD for like an hour and a half before I was like “Time to be productive”. Good easy start to a Sunday.

      That being said, I saw further down you try not to spend money on the mobile games. I went through a phase in 2019/2020 where I was fucking massively into a Chinese dating Sim game called “Mr Love Queens Choice.” I spent $850 over the course of 2 years. It was a great game and I had a ton of fun, but there was a point where I crossed into a bonus tier that you could only get to by spending a certain dollar amount. And then I was like “Oh. Oh no boo boo what is you doin’?!”.

        You can spend money but I don’t. Everything seems to be coming to me pretty quickly F2P. They have a great in game communications system that keeps you from having to use discord to coordinate or socialize. It also has an amazing translation system that allows people from all languages to work together.

        It has a LOT to do at first but then just as you get tired it backs WAY off and you have a casual game where you could easily start a second account if you wanted.

        Yeah, I recommend this game 😀

          Taking 2-3 showers a day when you’re working up a sweat isn’t killing the environment, don’t feel bad about it. If you’re worried about your personal water consumption then reducing the amount of meat/dairy you eat and not participating in fast fashion will do more than never showering again ever would.

          Couldn’t you compromise and take a shower in the morning instead? Certainly a lot less water used than drawing a whole bathtub. Also it’s quicker to do when in a hurry. (Though I would probably skip the first shower if I’m just going to go work out and shower again right afterwards anyway)

            It’s not a whole bathtub.

            You let the water run for a minute, and then stop so that it’s just a 3-inch base to get warm in.

            You watch some anime, read some articles, do something with your mind for 15 minutes.

            Once the water starts to get cold, you let it run for a minute, and then stop again so that it’s about 6 inches deep.

            Wait 15 minutes, repeat, wait 15 minutes, repeat. After about an hour, the water is just covering your groin. I don’t know how many litres that is, but it’s not very much.

            Compare that to a 15 minute shower where all the water and heat goes immediately down the drain.

      I like that end of the day bath too. Must be the Japanese in me. I feel some guilt over the water usage, but then again, I’m soaking in there for half an hour. If I did the same in a shower, I’d probably use even more water right? Also, the more you weigh, the more water you displace, meaning you need less to fill the tub. So it’s a rare case of weight gain actually reducing resource consumption. Thank you Archimedes!

          My skin gets quite dry after a shower, so multiple in a day would suck all the moisture out of me.

          What’s more, after the dryness, I’d then get super oily to compensate. Won’t help with the dryness, but at least my DNA is trying, right?

    A lot of people are saying porn, drugs and alcohol which sure i indulge in but not really in excess. I would if i let myself own any but i dont. My biggest indulgence is media, i consume slop in excess, i let myself fall into meaningless entertainment. Usually drama, youtube drama, it makes me feel so gross because i know how much of a waste of time it is. I could be studying or spending quality time with the people i love but instead i just listen to drivel.

    I know it seems relatively harmless but i hate that about myself. I dont even enjoy it much, i just do it becuase id rather do that than nothing

      I had similar problems and finally realized it was a symptom called executive dysfunction. I’d do easy dopamine drips like video games or watching YouTube videos instead of projects I want to do or tasks I need to do

      Are you introverted? If you are, it sounds like you just need some time to recharge on your own.

      But then if you don’t enjoy the dramas then maybe you could try actively seeking out a solo activity that you do enjoy? Because it sounds like it might just be a procrastination activity which isn’t usually as rewarding as we want and you’ll feel better actively taking time out to do something you truly want to do.

          That’s fair enough and completely relatable. In which case I’d say go ahead and embrace watching them man. They may not be the most top tier of all TV ever, but they’re entertaining and cathartic enough to give you what you need.

      As someone who watches +5 hours of YouTube a day I’d say the main issue with this stuff is the ease of access. I can easily lost track of time and spend hours organizing screws in my tool shed but that mean I need to actually decide to go there first. That takes effort. Sitting in front of my PC and opening youtube (or xvideos) doesn’t take effort.

      Yeah, a lot of these aren’t socially unacceptable at all. Some of it is just using mass-produced products for their intended purpose. It’s just the anxiety talking.

    I smoke weed every day. Casual marijuana consumption is definitely socially acceptable here (I’m in Canada where it’s legal) but I’ve been high more often than not for the past 8 years or so.

      Same here! Look up CHS. It’s awfully rare, and IIRC is more prevalent in men than women. It sucks. A T-break every now and again is healthy for the body, mind and spirit.

      I did that for an additional 10, from age 13-31.

      It is not easy to stop. Anyone who says otherwise doesn’t get it.

      It was life-changing to get sober. Weed was the last thing I let go of, a decade and a half ago. Literally everything good in my life today flows (directly or indirectly) from that decision.

          Here’s the thing,

          I got sober from alcohol first. I wasn’t really able to connect with the sober community until I got off weed a year later.

          During that year, my life did improve, I wasn’t ending up in hospitals, didn’t shake all the time, wasn’t doing nearly as much damage, but I was still trapped in a haze. My money was spent before I got paid. I was scared of looking for work, because I knew I couldn’t pass a drug test. I worked under the table, hadn’t paid taxes or social security for a decade. I was underweight. I couldn’t afford to keep my clothes even reasonably nice.

          I had stopped learning from my mistakes, I didn’t dream (literally and figuratively), I had trapped myself in this weird stoner underclass.

          So when I say everything flows from that event, I mean that I was finally able to be a member of the sober community. I was able to do the spiritual and psychological work that was necessary for me to grow into a productive, content, integral person.

          As I began to heal, to brighten up, things started progressing the way they normally do for people who aren’t on drugs 24-7. A friend offered me an interview at the company he worked for, I spent five years advancing, learning new skills that allowed me to find a career that I’ll likely retire from. I met a woman at one of the meetings, and we connected well. We’ve been together in a loving, supportive relationship for 10 years.

          Not having been involved with the financial, well, anything, I hadn’t ever even had a credit card. That whole world opened up, suddenly I didn’t have to drive fully depreciated cars any more. We’ve both advanced, career wise, to the point that we can travel, and help support our parents as they move into the later phase of their lives.

          It’s just been a complete change in the trajectory of my life.

        Starbucks accepted the union. The union won.

        Not that I’m saying you should support Starbucks, but at least they stopped the union busting.

      Some Starbucks locations operate at a loss to saturate a market and ensure no competitors can move in. Hence why you sometimes end up with them so close together.

      At peak a city of about 40,000 people that I lived in had 11 Starbucks within 3 miles, it was insane.

      Socially unacceptable? Every person I’ve ever worked with does this or has done this regularly at some point in their lives. There’s a reason Starbucks is everywhere. No offense, but I wish this triggered more shame in people. Instead, it’s normal behavior.

    36 year old and still sleep with stuffed animals. I’ve had them for 30 years and just honestly sleep better with them than a pillow. They are a stuffed wolf named timber and a stuffed dog named woofles.

    I think only the real dog judges me, but that’s cause she’s a jealous bitch.

    I’m a 45 years old male. The only alcohol I’ve been drinking since last summer is Smirnoff Ice.

    People at the supermarket must think in buying this for a 16 years old.

      This one is pretty hilarious. I would 100% assume you’re buying booze for people you are way too young to be hanging out with.

      I buy a 6 pack of smirnoff ice once per year. My buddy loves golfing on his birthday and I hide ices throughout his bag, cart, and course because even in our mid 30s it’s funny to see someone chug an ice while on one knee.

      I’ve never seen it myself, but my wife spent most of her childhood/teenage years in Shetland, and apparently up there, back then, Smirnoff ice was the drink of choice for hard working middle aged men. We’re talking about a bunch of islands where the main employment is offshore fishing and the oil & gas industry, and where they’re very proud of their Viking heritage. (Image search Jarl squad to see what I mean, those guys who are picked for the squad will grow their beards all year to look the part)
