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…

      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.

          Great place. Good views, good people and town hall day. Barre is relatively dense and in an impressive valley - I haven’t spent an immense amount of time there but the services are all there for the capital and it gets to benefit from that.

            Yeah, I’ve never been to VT, but have been to ME. The thing I like about VT most is their people [read: policies]. From afar I look at the datasets, and using R & later Julia, have concluded VT the best state, for my parameters.

      There are two types of people in the world: People who pick their nose, and liars.

        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.

    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.

      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)

      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 bathe 2-3 times a day. A quick one in the morning to get me out of the house, or I just skip it if I don’t have time. Cycle to work, real shower there. Then a nice long bath in the evening where I just soak and watch anime. Or browse Lemmy.

    I haven’t actually done this in over twenty thirty (fuck I’m old) years, but while thinking about it, I recalled my childhood…

    I used to dip extra buttery popcorn in chocolate milk. I fucking loved it. Honestly the thought of it makes me slightly nauseous now…

      That’s fucking nasty

      When I was a kid I would take cold hot dogs and grind them on the wheels of my toy truck, take the ground hot dog meat and make a taco out of it with American cheese slices.

        nope. I ate it with a bag of popcorn next to me and a glass of chocolate milk next to me. I would take like three popped corns in my fingers and dip them in the milk like an oreo and let them soak up the chocolately milkey goodness.

        That sounds really good. I think I’ll try that.

        I sometimes do similar but unsalted mixed nuts instead of peanut butter.

      A tortilla chip.

      Doritos are to tortilla chips as Potato Chips are to Flavored Potato Chips. They both rely on a dusting of flavor on a type of chip.

        The flavoured kind, sure. But I’m talking about these - do these not qualify as a proper tortilla chip? They are just Corn, Rapeseed Oil, Salt and Anti-oxidants.

    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.

    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.

      Along similar lines, I think one of mine has become resisting our cultural expectation of constant growth in all areas possible.

      Carter is an obvious one. I like my job and it makes my day more pleasant than past jobs have. The pay is good. I don’t need to painstakingly plan a path to be the manger then the director then the VP, just to spend more of my life working.

      I have big plans for the future of the koi pond in my back yard though. The more of my life I spend working on that thing, the better my life seems to get.

      (The things that matter or don’t matter are inherently personal - I’m not trying to insult anybody who gets genuine thrill and fulfillment from kicking ass at work constantly. )
