i'm going to burn in hell for this one

not that i actually believe in the concept of hell, but ykwim

i bought a mug warmer yesterday (the idea was to heat up my sugaring solution that i use to wax my legs. too much info yet? haha)

anyways, i have my coffee that i shouldnt even be drinking because it makes my blood sugars crash sitting on my brand new mug warmer right now. and it's still warm, and i like it. usually by now, my coffee is stone cold and gross. it's still piping hot and lovely.

i'm ethically conflicted because:

• i consider myself to be environmentally conscious, and do things to decrease my energy consumption at both a consumer level and when it comes to sucking up electricity. you know, greenhouse gases and all of that
• i shouldnt be drinking coffee in the first place~crashes my blood sugar and contributes to my insomnia
• i bought the stupid thing brand new and didnt even try to source out something second hand
• it's coated in something that looks like teflon!!! and i'm still using it. i havent had anything with an unnatural non-stick coating in my house for about a decade. i realllllllllly realllllllllly hope it's just a layer of some sort of paint on the hotplate, and not teflon

ps, i also bought it at a big box store. i'm a bad, evil person, and i have given monetary support to the 'corporation'. meh.

 

Oh yeah...a mug warmer. You're damn sure headed off the Hell for that one.
Why, the other day I bought a brand new video game. The cartridge looks plastic but I'm pretty sure it's made of the bones of Bosnian children, and it works via magic because of the souls of all the animals and trees who died when they bulldozed the forest so they could put up a video game factory and then the WalMart I bought it at.
I also dropped my receipt on the parking lot ground outside and left it there...

But you're probably a lot more hell-bound. Mug Warmers are the devil's work!

 

LMFAO!

 

One of us is loosing it.

Any clue as to which?

 

naw, i'm an extremist with a conscience and a tendancy to microanalyze some things.

ps, noone really needs a mugwarmer, do they?

 

The 'ps' line does not compute... *L*

 

True, Needs and Wants are 2 different things.

 

You know the weird thing nimh? I have this theory that subconciously everybody feels the same about all this that you do, I think they've just been programed not to be aware of it.


I mean, It's not like people are spending $100 bucks at the pump and telling themselves, "I'm financing the war, saying fuck you to the enviroment, and it's costing me about the same $$ that it would take to feed a village in the 3rd world for a month.."
but none the less, all that's true, and some part of each of us knows it.

I think that's why there's so much guilt and vague self-loathing in western society.

 

I'm gonna burn in hell for a whole lot worse than that, and it was worth it.

 

It is best to incorporate a few small sins or vices into an otherwise virtuous life, lest one falls into the far greater evil of separating oneself from the rest of human experience. Jesus enjoyed wine, food, and the company of disreputable women.

 

you're gonna burn in hell for those bulleted things huh? must be catholic...

 

No disrespect to Nimh but that was hiliarious thanks for the laugh!

 

exactly, you're a yo-yo. now just forget about this, you yo-yo....

 

if you drank the blood of human children out of the mug the warmer wouldn't seem so bad would it?
