Long hot showers. I live a pretty low-intensity life in terms of the environment - small home footprint, vegan, cycle commuter, only tend to buy second-hand stuff, low garbage high compost waste output, high mileage small vehicle, but I fucking love a long hot shower and I don't plan to ever stop. It's my treat that I don't ever want to give up.
personal bathing has next to no environmental impact outside of an acute drought in an arid region. industrial & agricultural & recreation outstrip all personal use by hilarious margins but the bourgois state can't tell the millionaires to cut their use down so they pretend its on us.
take showers and flush yellow & leave the sink running while brushing. kill golfers.
It's about energy use, not water use, FWIW. And there really seems to be a (primarily US ?) leftist insistence that, because a significant amount of emissions come from the top 1% that regular people living in the West need to adjust absolutely nothing about their personal consumption. The numbers don't really bear that out though.
There's also a very "can't someone else do it?" clinging to treats, like yes in a perfect world the carbon crisis would be dealt with by responsible government bodies addressing the problem through an Eco-Leninist lens, but absent that actually happening we still have a responsibility to do our part where we can.
you shouldn't overuse water to own the libs (waterbill, hello?). i guess that joke needed a disclaimer
"clinging to treats" is not fucking cleaning yourself and washing shit, or need i remind you, drinking it. scolding over it is still libshit in the highest.
Videogames. It's the only vice I genuinely feel gross to say I enjoy.
I'd say that video games are also my guilty pleasure... but I don't feel guilty
:sicko-speeeeen:
its something to do with being on my knees and him deciding what to do
you do you babe
uhhh i won't reveal my fetishes here the volcel police are watching :volcel-police:
Be prepared for the volcel police to handcuff you behind your back and force you into the back of the squad
cartank :t34: if you continue.Unacceptable! There will be no horniness here! We'll coax a confession out of you at the station! :volcel-judge:
We are willing to use many methods to make you confess and are not above using petty smacks!
Apologies for the state of the floor, maybe you could help us clean up all the uhhhhh eggnog that got all over it.
I really can't listen to whole episodes, but some of the clips I've heard are funny. The Andrew Cuomo bits they've done had me laughing my ass off.
That Jewish kids' show with the anthropomorphic $5 bill was insane and hilarious
Fiveish is the result of Zionist brainworms and is a gift to humanity
Fast food, I hate it but it's just so easy and convenient.
I'm in my late 20s and still love children's cartoons. Lately I've been watching the Australian show Bluey, and a newish one from Disney called The Ghost and Molly McGee.
YA books. They remind me of the happiest times of my life. And McDonalds Coke.
Not the NBA? I get it, though. The start of the NFL season and the end when they start showing games on Saturdays is probably my favorite time of year.
I get cravings for McDonalds once every 9-12 months.
I love Winnie the Pooh at age 31. He's so wholesome and comforting.
Trashy true crime TV shows.
Video mixtapes like [R-word]-O-Tron and Whore Church
Any sort of smelly good thing. Perfume's, fancy soaps, deoderants, incense.
Trashy true crime TV shows.
Is there one you can recommend that's not 100% generic? I have a guilty pleasure fondness for true crime but everything tv thing I've had a quick look at has been so much the same and designed for people with a negative attention span.
Honestly, that's a tough one. A lot of the ones my partner and I watch regularly are for like ID Discovery, so they're all pretty formulaic. There's one called Murderous Women (or maybe its Dangerous Women?) that we've been watching a lot of that I've kinda been really enjoying (even if its just to rage at the commentators they get for their shit takes on systemic issues). That said, I'm hesitant to recommend anything without having a baseline for the kind of shows YOU have enjoyed.
the kind of shows YOU have enjoyed.
Now that I think of it - maybe as usual - I have an impossible goal. Trashy yet non-generic? Is that even possible? The only true crime things I've liked are staid documentaries like PBS Frontline. And - of course - that's in a different universe from trash.
The closest trashy thing wasn't actually trashy - it it's a tv movie. I recommend it but there's a caveat: The Night Stalker (TV Movie 2016).
Lou Diamond Phillips plays Ramirez. He's great and creepy. For a tv movie the photography and cinematography are great. Example - dance floor scene I really liked how the flashback scenes of LA in the 1980s were spot on down to the tiniest little details. There's a non-memorable scene where characters are having breakfast and everything in the house including the cheap glasses and dishes are period piece perfect.
The caveat is that there's a bait-and-switch and it sort of pissed me off. Ramirez is basically a minor character. The reporter interviewing him is actually the lead in her present day and in flashbacks when she was a girl. That's her on the dance floor.
I'll have to come back to this later, about to step out for the night, but thanks for sharing your thoughts comrade!
Hell yeah, no matter how down I am, watching Pooh get stuck in Rabbit's door will always make me lose my shit laughing.
The 2011 movie is also really good - its one of the only animated works aside from the 70s movie to be based on the original stories. Some of the dialog in that one is absolutely fantastic. The whole "can you knot?" Exchange is brilliant wordplay.
