I've never read anything by Cormac McCarthy, but if you write without ever thinking about it you're basically assuming that you have an innate talent that doesn't need any practice or polish. I'm not saying it's impossible, just rather implausible. Or else there's a damn good editor involved.

Yes, annoyingly so. They were always such a pain in the ass whenever I got up to 6 wanted stars in Grand Theft Auto.

Everything flavored with pumpkin spice or marketed as pumpkin spice 'anything' is disgusting, and I'm tired of pretending it's not. Lattes, candles, waffles. It's all awful. The only reason people pretend to like it is because they're pawns to the Big Pumpkin industry.
Also, autumn/fall is a horrible season. Everything around you is slowly dying. The leaves, the grass, the weather.
Summer is true beauty. Everything is bright and lively. There's a reason the expression is, "Blitz out with your tits out" and not "autumn out with your bottom out."

But you fall in love.
The trees aren't dying, they're going to sleep for the winter. Isn't falling a sleep a wonderful feeling?
In the south, spring is the prettiest season. Up here in the northern climes, fall is the colorful season (or at least most years).
It's winter I hate. Every single thing about it

Equally controversial counterpoint... "Pumpkin Spice," has nothing to do with pumpkin flavor, it's just the spice blend that traditionally goes in a pumpkin pie... cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves.
And anyone who hates cinnamon and nutmeg and ginger and cloves hates joy, goodness, and themselves

Starbucks now advertises that there's actual pumpkin puree in their pumpkin spice lattes, but I've eaten plain unseasoned pumpkin, and I thought it kind of just tasted like a potato...

I love using plain pumpkin in sweet potato soup. Some garlic, sage, and cinnamon along with onions, celery, carrots, canned plain pumpkin, and butternut squash pureed all together with cream and either vegetable or chicken broth, then add some roasted sweet potatoes and you have the best Halloween soup ever. I top it with a mix of toasted sunflower and pumpkin seeds and pistachios and serve with a nice crusty herbed sourdough.
(I apologize, it's soup season and I'm happy.)

Fun fact, in the US, there is no legal definition of pumpkin as food.
The cans of pumpkin puree is mostly butternut squash.

Libby's uses their own variety of Dickinson pumpkins.
Pumpkins are a type of squash.
Dickinson pumpkins are closely related to butternut squash.
Gourds are evil. They look fun and beautiful but are not meant for eating, just sitting there looking pretty and rotting from the inside out. Not unlike many people.
Controversial Opinion. Ketchup isn't fit for consumption.

I'll second this, if a little less forcefully. I'll use it for sub-standard french fries, but that's about it. Decent fries need no ketchup.
But also: if you're going to serve ketchup at a restaurant, I don't care how fancy you are or how brilliant your chef. Use Heinz, or some Heinz-adjacent generic. They've cracked the recipe. Any house-made ketchup is garbage.

Ketchup was invented to mask the flavor of things that weren't fit for consumption. It still works in that role. Think hot dogs made with cheap, ultra processed weiners.

American one definitely isn't. Given its sugar content, it's basically tomato jelly.

I like it on French Fries. And as long as it's combined with other condiments, I like it on hamburgers (but not hot dogs).

Anton Chigurh from No Country for old men is the most over rated, boring, lame AF killer out there.

And anyone who suggests they know is full of shit.
But I do know. I'm just not telling.
