      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

          Cannabis can actually lower your IQ, kick off schizophrenia and depersonalization disorder, and put you in the ER with hyperemesis. Heavy use isn’t great.

    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.

    I spend too much on care products, which are sometimes or even often unnecessary. I just really enjoy some nice smells and glittery things sometimes. My newest bad habit are nail stickers…

    Definitely soda, specifically Dr Pepper. My New Year’s resolution is to stop going out of my way to buy it. I will likely still have it if it’s included in a food combo or given away free.
