i’m going to buy a 5090
6 hour baths.
Phone in zip-lock bag.
Bottle of red water.
Add more hot water when it cools.
Once or twice a year self-care.
I am lazy every minute I can be now. Almost all my freetime is now just decompressing. The height of this is a hot bath that goes for well over an hour.
I chose not to have children. Apparently, to some people, this is considered self-indulgent. Those people can fuck right off.
honestly its the other way around, your future children didn’t consent to being born, and the possibility that something terrible happens to them consists, therefore by having children you indirectly harm another future human being.
My mornings are indulgent because my days are busy.
No alarm to wake, husband wakes me gently.
Sex every day.
Coffee for work, often from the Cuban place up the street, and slow commute in by e-bike.
I also buy fancy cheese because I love that stuff, and have a large collection of liquors, liqueurs, and some wines, I don’t drink every day and honestly don’t drink enough to bother with anything I don’t love. Less and better is the way.
Weed.
It’s becoming a problem for me, actually.
How? Are you getting addicted and facing withdrawal if discontinued? What problems do you think it is causing?
I mostly use edibles, since I prefer those over smoking. Use 'em enough and your tolerance can get sky high. Combine that with poor self-regulation (common in us folks with ADHD, IIRC), and a traumatized past you want to hide from, and overuse became considerably easier for me.
Regular usage at high doses can result in withdrawal effects, since at that point your brain is used to the heightened dopamine levels. Without the constant party of THC in my system I get unbelievably angry and irritable, mostly towards myself, and threats of suicide become more frequent. Makes me wanna pop another brownie to make the self-hatred stop, cause these withdrawal effects can last a while for me.
I’m doing better with it lately, but I’m having to do frequent vibe checks on myself, and I’m working on an extended break right now. I dunno how universal an experience mine is, but boy howdy, I gotta be more careful.
I’ve started to appreciate myself a “little bit” more in the mirror. Not saying I’ve started noticing narcissistic tendencies. But I’m allowing it as I’m in the best shape of my life. Have I kissed my biceps goodnight? Y’all know I have.
Yay! Isn’t it great to love your body? I have discovered a whole new side of myself with fitness. Hell, no, I am not embarrassed at liking what I see in the mirror as I finish that burpee!
There are few things in life one can say they truly earned and a fit, strong body made through dedication is one of them.
I have appreciated myself more than a little bit in the mirror lmao
Oof, this is rough to admit even anonymously as someone who cares about the environment:
I really like the feeling of being both hot and cold at the same time, so when the temps finally drop in my area, I like to crack the window open beside my computer and then sit with a space heater. Sometimes when I drive to work in the winter, I also like to crack my windows and have the heat blasting.
Its so good. I’ll do ya one better: AC blasting full volume while under 4 layers of blankets at bedtime + 1…3 cats
Fuck that sounds cozy!
Plus multiple cats
I’m a winter window down driver too. Drives my passengers nuts even though I have the heat cranked lol
My people!!!
Coffe is the only physical indulgence I can afford, because the other self indulgent behaviour is not to plan anything, to wake up and choose what I spend my time on.
-
I’m an adrenaline junkie. Skiing, fast go-karting, jumping out of planes, all that jazz
-
I have nearly 2 TB worth of games on the hard drive that I store games on, though ARK takes up a sizeable chunk of that space oops
-
Eating my fave foods. I’ve always naturally fasted and I don’t have an appetite until pretty late into the afternoon, so this is more than a good excuse to make up for that!
-
Clothes shopping. I found a really nice dress the other day and it feels so comfy to wear!
-
Every way possible. If I’m working, then I’m spending, and I’m buying that nice thing. I save 1.5 weeks worth of everything every week so I’m way ahead of rent, utilities, subscriptions, and groceries. I can take days off in peace. If I want fancy Japanese food then I’m getting it. I spent a third of my life expectancy locked away living a mediocre life so sad the best thing about it aside from video games was eating a pop tart when I was 5. I’m living the rest of my life the best way possible.
Specialty coffee. I order whole beans from a roaster I know. It’s $20-25/lb. I could buy grocery store coffee for half that, but it doesn’t taste anywhere close.
Lunch. Even though I work from home, I have a standing rule to never eat in my office. Never. I always go to the kitchen or dining room, and take my time.
This is actually a great habit my wife and l do. We don’t eat on the couch, we actually have dinner at the table (though admittedly yes, we’ll still watch the TV sometimes from the table).
It just feels so much better. The last time I visited my family (out of state) and we were eating something, I brought my plate to the table and everyone else went to the couch, and it just felt kind of dirty to eat there.
In our house we do both, but each place has a dedicated food list. Comfort foods, fast foods and lazy foods can be eaten in the living room, it feels gratuitous to eat pizza rolls and veg at the table, but it’s an easy thing to eat and watch a family show with. Proper meals, fancy meals, long noodles, and soups are all table food. Watching a show over a plate of braised chicken with seared acorn squash takes away from the presentation of the plate and lessens the experience.
I absolutetly hate eating from the sofa, I don’t know how people do it regularly.
Its 2 luxe for u
What if you are sitting instead of standing? Can your eat in your office then? Tee hee, ha ha
Well I just ate a buttload of cookies
Literally
anything you eat becomes a buttload eventually
What if you eat with your butt
That seems like a speed running exploit
Speak for yourself defecator
Does food that vomited count or not count as being eaten?
every way possible, I do what I want, when it fits me. Even though it will ruin my future, as im still in that phase of life where everything you do determines what kind of slave labor you will be doing later. I just don’t care. Also I’m stressed out by everything so I just don’t do anything stressful, essentially sleeping and attending school in some capacity that is well below normal. I’m rarely caught doing something I don’t want to.
