it feels similar in egregious price to getting room service, and you don’t even have to talk to the guy, and you can convince yourself it’s nice to treat yourself you’ve been working hard etc etc. you don’t have to do any dishes or think about all the rotten shit in the fridge. it can feel like a legitimate mental break, horribly
i’ve worked too too many years doing delivery and honestly on good days it feels like being on vacation , just out there driving around somewhere peaceful without a boss over my shoulder
but whenever i actually order the garbage myself too much it can lead to a crazy period of overspending. i already spent $30 on a burrito that sucked why not spend $20 on a film i know is good, etc etc
Ever look into the meal kits? As an example, Home Chef had 15m meal kits that were essentially “add heat,” and I think there are even some microwave ready options. I’m neuro-regular? Not hip to the vernacular. But I can empathize with the idea of dinner being a fucking him climb sometimes, not just preparing but deciding. A dinner that has become a staple in my home was one I made from the meal delivery service that I just get now, so it’s nice to have it in my pocket.
Unrelated, I went to Norway once and thoroughly enjoyed it. Was way up north, but had an evening to get out and mingle with locals and everyone was friendly and inclusive, it was nice. I’m from Jersey, New, for reference.
I hope you have a nice day.
