Hot heat and hotter garbage? No thanks, I&#8217;ll be watching Masters of Sex in an air conditioned room.<\/big> <\/p>\n<p>  <b><big><big>2) Become human-garbage:<\/b><\/big><\/big><br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/38.media.tumblr.com\/c446ab1e767e085d4054071ce42f6106\/tumblr_inline_nrsrg5xEpb1qcryb6_500.gif\"width=\"100%\"><\/p>\n<p>  <big>What better way to defeat something than to completely embody it? If you hold off on showering for long enough, you can physically become trash! It&#8217;s a fun little science experiment you can do with your body.

Essentially what you want to do is rewire your brain so that it finds garbage pleasurable, and soon enough you\u2019ll be begging Armani to come up with an \u201cEau de Garbage\u201d scent. The trick to doing this is to take all of life\u2019s pleasures and somehow add garbage into the mix. Example: you have sex with a wonderful man or woman, they\u2019re tender and proportionate, they don&#8217;t start texting as soon as you&#8217;re done &#8211; it&#8217;s a wonderful experience&#8230;.immediately sniff some garbage.
