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...

Disco polo music. In Poland, it's seen as "lower class music" and is supposed to be enjoyed only ironically or at wedding parties.

I like arguing with idiots on the internet.

... you aren't an idiot. And purposefully screwing up the apostrophe isn't going to fool me.

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.

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.

In an overly consumerist late-stage capitalistic society, my socially unacceptable guilty indulgence is minimalism.

That's "my only weakness is I work too hard" kind of stuff.

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. )

Skinning landlords to make tents for the homeless

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.
