guilty pleasures are fine. especially in our modern woke reality where everyone is consciously aware of problematic material, there has to be leniency. if you recognize something is problematic and realize why that is, yet continue to enjoy the material, then at least you can use that as a learning experience.

or even not

it's reassuring to think that our consumption choices are where we engage with fraught moral questions and define ourselves as actors in history, because otherwise it would have to be the rest of our lives

wait, guilty pleasure now connotes art made by ‘bad’ people? I thought it meant still listening to Limp Bizkit

highly recommend taking a break from fraught moral questions every few hours

i don't judge doing it that often but i find if you wait a couple days it feels even better

years

Yes

it always connoted that. people used to say fred durst was a bad person. maybe they still do, i don't know.

no way, "guilty pleasure" = liking something that's "uncool." Heard that wack phrase a lot when Chester Bennington died.

guilty pleasure means liking something thats bad for you imo

i think the original use was "liking something deemed uncool by reactionary normies" but i'm sure it can extend to breaking out the Gary Glitter records too

People still Iike Polanski movies despite him being an absolute waste of space

my engagement with art has improved immensely over time and it's not all through endless positivity

i think a true guilty pleasure is where the guilt is part of the pleasure

guilty pleasure means liking something thats bad for you imo

it is liking something that _you know_ is bad for you. thus the guilt element.

feel like it is meant to be a personal statement of experience. you are consuming something while aware that maybe you shouldn't be. so if you eat candy even though you know it is bad for your teeth, it is a guilty pleasure. guilty pleasure means liking something thats bad for you imo

to that last point now that everyone is expected to be hyper sensitive, i expand that to include the social realm as well. now there are more guilty pleasures than ever.

if you enjoy a classical sculpture even though it depicts "The Rape of the Sabine Women" it is a guilty pleasure.

disagree with this. quite different imo.

art =/= candy

tugging off in yr pocket in front of a picture depicting the rape of the sabine women = guilty pleasure

—He knows you. He knows your old fellow. O, I fear me, he is Greeker than the Greeks. His pale Galilean eyes were upon her mesial groove. Venus Kallipyge. O, the thunder of those loins! The god pursuing the maiden hid.

I don't not own a TV. you don't not own a TV

uh the term "guilty pleasure" is almost always used in the context of "liking a piece of art that I know is really shitty", not made by a Nazi or w/e

unless there's a Aryan sisterhood vibe I am unaware of re: Wilson Phillips

I'm ok with extending its meaning but not making "liking music by rapists" as the primary usage of "guilty pleasure".

that's like the guy who was trying to tell me "poser" meant "someone who poses for pictures" aka glam metal musicians

xp yea. although i'd argue that your enjoyment of it means that it isn't shitty. in other words there is no objective judgment of art, imo

Xpost right, everything’s radically subjective

my Spotify is full of Kenny Loggins songs so

Under our most conservative estimate, we find that television ownership is associated with approximately a 6% reduction in the likelihood of having had sex in the past week.

well, youd have to find something to do i spose

but most of my shows last an hour and you can go again straight away, just saying

Wohl claims Cass first contacted Surefire Intelligence about an “estate matter” involving a “dishonest accountant” in February 2018. So I asked him at the press conference how Cass contacted Surefire when Surefire didn’t have a website at the time. “She found me over the Internet,” Wohl replied. “It was either Angie’s List or Craigslist.”

Wohl says that Cass contacted him again around October 1, after seeing for the first time a photo of Mueller, who was named special counsel in May 2017. Why hadn’t Cass previously seen a photo of one of the most famous men in the news in the previous 15 months? According to Wohl, she’s not political and doesn’t watch the news. “She doesn’t even own a TV,” he told me after the press conference.

thinking about all those "oh I actually don't own a TV" people, how's that working out now bitch what are you playing jacks or something lmao grow up

always wondered where all those shitty 90s standups went, i guess it was to Twitter?

Ant, who does not own a television, enjoys reading, particularly historical novels.

I don't own a TV but watch lots of TV, need to know how annoying I am

I don't own a TV, I just steal a new unit each day

I don't own a TV, I just break into a random person's house and watch their TV.

Seven years ago I didn't even own a TV, now I own THREE TVs, every one a secondhand gift from a friend or family member who felt sorry for us.

How soon will this be "I don't even use GPT" / "I don't even have a crypto wallet" etc

how much longer will it be before owning a television is comparable to still having a landline phone and the premise of this thread has become an anachronism?

People do love their giant screens though (even if they're no longer receiving terrestrial signals)

"i don't even own a deadly bird flu virus that killed 98% of the world"

xpost lol my friend keeps upping his screen size to the point where he's going to have a movie theater in his house.

I have the same small TV from 2012.

I don't even own a TV ah fuck

I don't even have a USB TV stick plugged into my computer.

i have 55" and tbh the criticism i have of it is that i couldve and shouldve gone to 65" now i look at it

watching normal TV (like in a hotel room) is kind of a jarring experience now.. commercials have been a thing of the past for so long that I forget that regular broadcast TV is still mostly commercials for mattresses and taco bell

I have a pretty small (by modern standards; compared to the TV of my childhood it's gigantic, of course) TV but when it arrives in my new apartment (end of this week, I think) I'm not gonna have cable or a digital antenna for network channels; I'm just gonna use it to watch Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu and Amazon Prime stuff, or maybe some of the weirdo channels that come through Samsung Plus, like there's a channel that shows nothing but episodes of Bob Ross's painting show 24/7.
