    “I have to order Doordash because I live in a food desert”

    “Can you taxi to the grocery store and back for about the same as the delivery fee?”

    “No”

      I use doordash because I’m tired AF and it’s 9pm (stores are closed) and there is nothing in the fridge.

      Paying an extra 10 bucks to get food delivered while I can relax for 30m an drink a beer is priceless.

        That’s the definition of luxury and discretionary spending

          I used it when I was working 100 hour weeks and wanted to spend every hour after 9 pm too stoned and drunk to move. It was an expensive luxury, but also the one maintaining me at the stress level where I wouldn’t want to kill myself. I’d order enough to split over multiple days so it wasn’t as obscene.

            Been there… Working like that with right…

            But yeah when you are in that situation, food out is the least of your concern when you can have a metal break down at any point.

            Cooking for your self is can be seen a luxury too nowadays I guess… Look at that peasant with all that free time to cook!

            I don’t care.

            edit: seriously, the shame you people feel is pathetic. I don’t need you to confess or explain your takeout life to me ffs. I guess you just need people to tell you your decisions are OK. Man the fuck up

      Taking a taxi 20 minutes away can be like $50 each way and involve an hour-long wait. Taxi service has changed a lot in some areas.

      not sure what point you’re making – it seems like you’re criticizing anyone who engages in this ? regardless of context, circumstance, ability, or reason???
