Mine is loving dumb pop-culture shit.

MCU specifically, I LOVE that shit, LOVE it.

Every lefty on my TL is making fun of those movies and labeling people who enjoy them as mindless consumers or whatever, while I'm like "FUCK YEAH THREE INCARNATIONS OF SPIDER-MAN & DAREDEVIL ARE IN THE NEXT SPIDER-MAN MOVIE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO."

Like, I know it's dumb, but it really brings me that immense childish joy that I get nowhere else.

Anyone else? Or do you have some other dumb shit you love?

      On a similar note, I love Formula1, but I feel immensely guilty for enjoying what is basically a celebration of fossil fuels and the death of the planet.

          True, although I was happy for Perez finally getting a win, and that in his second to last race. Pretty cool.

      I used to want a truck, badly. Hell, I even convinced myself that I needed a truck - ya know, for that one time a year I move a couch or buy some mulch.

      Now? I know I don't need one, at all. But what's really interesting is that I can't even bring myself to want one. In fact, I loathe the idea of wanting a truck. All I can think about is the chuds driving around in blacked out window death machines with punisher stickers and truck nuts on the back. And I think about the cost of owning such a display of American pseudo-bougie decadence; the gas, the tires, the insurance. And to top it off, the price for these things is just fucking insane. Makes me sick just looking at the price.

      Keep in mind, the truck I used to want was like a $40k toyota tundra, full size, 4 doors, backup camera, bluetooth, etc.

      I could make due with an S10 or something, but I'm still throwing a mental tantrum about not getting my bougie truck so I've convinced myself to not a get a truck at all.

      Damn that's a load off, thanks comrade.
