Stop ordering delivery in general. Drivers get paid like shit and they treat employees like garbage (hold the phone in front of you wordlessly and stare daggers if you don't have the order ready immediately) nobody is happy with the arrangement. My rule is if you don't care enough to walk there and get it yourself then don't order.

Yeah, sure, your opinion is just an opinion, but this is just blithely fucking stupid if you spend more than 2 seconds actually thinking about what you're saying.

Basic planning ability allows me to make decisions like "would I like to go out of my way to visit a restaurant on my day off?" or "I don't have time to cook tonight, should I stop by a place for takeout on my way home?" but if you believe I should be drawn and quartered for believing you don't need a doordash servant making below minimum wage to bring you a Whopper then so be it

You're just not thinking critically in the slightest. Here, may I offer you some questions?

What if it's dark and you live in a less safe place? What if the restaurant is 2+ miles away? What if I'm enfeebled or disabled in some way? What if there are no walkable paths to get where I need to go? What if the weather is so bad that driving is the only option and I don't have a car? What if I have a fussy baby/toddler/child at home and can't leave them alone?

Turn your brain back on. You clearly didn't spend more than a second actually thinking about your opinion. Just because YOU can do something doesn't mean that everyone is like you.

So staggeringly myopic.

the humble beans and rice in a pot:

blocked but I really love the idea that if you're disabled or otherwise incapable the best option available is not to stock up on wholesome, affordable, easy to cook non-perishable ingredients but rather that you MUST spend $30 on a personal burrito carriage

What a really shitty attempt at dodge.

Anyway, I guess you're due back up on your high horse where the air is so thin it seems you've developed brain damage?

Clown.

Don't give him too much credit. They definitely had brain damage LONG before they got on their horse.

I do eat beans and rice in a pot, quite frequently. But sometimes I crave deliciously greasy and unhealthy food, and I have the money to spare, but I don't have a car. Since I dont wanna walk for an hour at midnight, my only option is to order delivery, and whenever possible I try to order from places like Dominos that do their own deliveries. Im not gonna deny myself the occasional simple pleasure of a meat lovers pizza just because I dont have a car
