I’ve realized that lately, I’ve been watching a lot of them police bodycam videos on YouTube. It always makes me feel a little better about myself and some of the bad decisions I’ve made in life. I’m known to cave into bad impulses like bad spending and taking financial risks.

But, I at least do not turn my life upside down as many have had in these bodycam videos. We’re talking, people who’re too damn prideful and full of themselves that they turn a simple traffic stop into multiple felonies. As well as people just making a shitshow out of themselves when they’re drunk and getting into struggles with the police.

So the next time you’re feeling down, watch a few of these videos. Your life can’t be any more worse than the self-destructive lives demonstrated in those videos.

    I don’t feel guilty about the things I do to make myself happy or to make time spent more enjoyable. I know that’s not really in the spirit of your question, but I think it’s an important statement to make. Yes, I do understand the term “guilty pleasure”, I just think it’s a bad phrasing.

    Some things that I do not feel guilty about:

    • Having a bong hit with my afternoon tea
    • Taking a break from work, socializing, or gaming to play some guitar
    • Whatever is happening on my second monitor.
      • Buffy while working? Yes.
      • Psych? Yes.
      • MUDding? 100% this mud all the time.
      • Cat pics on discord? Fuck. Yes.
    • Browsing pictures of Panko the dog.
