Eating lunch or going to a movie by myself. Traveling alone and not having to really talk. I like doing those things with my wife or friends too, but not having to worry about anyone or anything else for a bit is great.
I'm not sure eating lunch or going to a film on your own is socially unacceptable. People judge things to make themselves feel better, but I go to lunch on my own on a friday every week cause I'm in a certain part of the city on that day. Films here and there, also- wife and I just saw Oppenheimer last week and someone was there on his own in the row in front of us. I yelled looooooser and threw popcorn at him and when he looked back with tears in his eyes I tongue kissed my wife while making eye contact with him and giving him the finger, then said "you'll die alone haha". That part probably invalidates the previous part of my post now that I think about it, but I think lunch is ok.
In an overly consumerist late-stage capitalistic society, my socially unacceptable guilty indulgence is minimalism.
Gambling I guess? Although I count cards so it's not quite the same, but I can't exactly explain to the people around me that I'm an advantage player when I start throwing fistfulls of cash at the dealer...
Sometimes I draw nsfw of my own characters, who are decidedly not sexy because that's not what I designed them for. But then I spend too much time writing and developing them and get invested in their private lives.
I'm usually too embarrassed to render the drawings and sometimes to even save the file. Shoutout to people who do this for a living, couldn't be me.
I like cinnamon raisin bagels...with scallion and herb cream cheese. It's sweet and savory and the contrast is as good as a super hot shower with an ice cold drink.
Breugger's bagels, may they rest in peace, used to have a bacon/scallion cream cheese. That was divine on cinnamon raisin bagels. I don't know what upset people more, the scallion on a sweet substrate, or the bacon on a bagel. It doesn't matter, if this is goy, I don't want to be kosher.
Marxist organizating and running a political education program. I swear to God I'm going to (redacted) when we have the resources to expand into adult literacy.
And slutting about I suppose.
Daydreaming about me, my projects in 10-30 years. Imagining convos with people. I'm a recovering neet.
I put a little salt on muffins. If I donβt I can only eat like one before I hit my muffin limit, but if I salt them I can eat like 5.
Macaroni with enough Heinz ketchup to question your sanity and a glass of milk.
It's also my hangover cure.
Tobacco and alcohol.
Cigars & pipe tobacco. Whisky & cognac. The good stuff.
But after the world became so health focused, these indulgences has become more problematic.
