In this case however, both are bad.
MoreFPSmorebetter@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
Both is good is more in reference to picking both as the problem is good. Not that either choice is any good lol.

I’m a middle aged man. I’ve paid my mortgage. I’ve got savings. My pension is doing alright. I’ve got my shit together.
I still eat beans on toast more often than I get a takeaway. You don’t need to send half your dinner money to the silicon valley cunts that are fucking everything up. Support your local food places by going in, that way they get all the money.

Back in the 90s and aughts you could get pizza or Chinese delivered. Usually only at the cost of throwing a few singles for the driver. While it was probably exploitative of the drivers, it did not take 30% of the value of the meal and send it to a rich moron in Silicon Valley. It was not seen as super luxurious to get pizza delivered on a Friday night.
2019: you could buy a house if you never went to Starbucks!
2025: no one cares how much money you save working from home, get back to work, get back to the kitchen, deal with the tarrifs!

Tbf I can still just ask the pizza place and they’ll deliver to my door at like €3 without ever having to use an app.

I notice that learning to cook is never an option

My niece was highly Uber eats dependent. Got her an air fryer for Christmas and it literally changed her life. Sometimes people want better but don’t know how to get there

Some government hand out “baby kits” for newborns - cot, blanket, nappies, bottles etc.
I think they should also hand out “self sufficiency kits” to new adults - pot & pan, utensils, cutlery, self sufficiency book w recipes, salt/pepper/herbs, coffee, tea seeds, vouchers and some other bits & pieces. Basically something to foster some independence, interest in cooking, diet and other life skills in new adults. And the school curriculum should also foster life skills.
Doesn’t stop people eating out or buying takeaways but it shouldn’t be the norm.

That’s honestly shit your parents should teach you tbh. Though not everyone has a decent set so I agree on the school curriculum bit. Teach it in middle school for sure.

Vegan, here. If I didn’t cook, I wouldn’t eat.

buying groceries is also more expensive than it should be. you also have to take the time to go do that, and if you don’t have a car youre not likely to be getting very much stuff. then, you have to prepare the food, cook the food, and clean up after. i dont know about you, but my prep space, cooking space, and cleaning space are all the same small counter. im perfectly capable of cooking a meal, but I also hate cooking and don’t enjoy it, for all the reasons i just said.
arc99@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Make bigger batches and freeze portions. And whatever expense groceries are, you can expect food cooked by someone else and delivered by someone else to be 3x as much.

Burritos should ride on the bus.
NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
New startup: BusGrub.
You put in an order for what you want and pick a timeslot a few hours in the future. E.g. for dinner, you put your order in at like at like noon and pick a 5-7pm window. Then, approaching your scheduled slot, a bus goes all around the area, picking up every order for that slot in the area, then swings around to each drop-off over the course of like two hours.
Result: Everyone enjoys cheaper, but gross soggy food.
Please give me $20 mil starting capital, thanks.

Don_alForno@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
This is stupid. We pay other people to do things we can’t or don’t want to do all the time. That’s what economy is.
The fact that people who order takeout could also cook at home instead doesn’t diminish the impact of the inflation spikes that began with Putlers invasion. You can’t fix the problems of neoliberalism on an individual level.

I don’t get why people would waste money on delivery services. Would it kill someone to cook their own food, or collect food from a takeaway themselves? That’s especially true for fast food where the fees & delivery charges could cost almost as much as the food itself.
ventusvir@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
It’s nice as a “now and then” kind of deal. It’s also a boon for elderly or disabled folks, especially for groceries. Or if you forgot your lunch and the traffic is heavy near your job to get food in time.
ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
I’m sure many rely on it for a good reason. A food delivery company in my country partners with a charity to enable phone orders and free delivery to the elderly.

The costs of Doordash/Uber Eats gets socialized pretty heavily. Where I live, most restaurants just upped their prices 20-30% across the board to account for the DSP fees. Most of the time I’m ordering from Doordash, it’s genuinely cheaper than actually eating in the restaurant
DrSteveBrule@mander.xyz 2 weeks ago
That’s strange. Where I live, Doordash and all the other delivery services list higher menu prices than what you’ll see at whichever restaurant you go to. If a menu item is normally $15, Doordash will list it as $18. This is before they even add the service fees.
buttnugget@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I think that’s probably everywhere. They passed a delivery service fee limit law here and parasites like DoorDash literally just whined about it in the app and added some additional fee right there.
hoch@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Yup, I just jump from deal to deal and have Dashpass. Ends up being almost the same price as getting it myself.

Funny meme but also inflation is bad
ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
This is true
bier@feddit.nl 2 weeks ago
Not necessarily, if you own a home AND your pay slowly goes up to compensate (both of these unfortunately aren’t happening for a lot of people), relative to your income your mortgage goes down.
Or in more generic terms, inflation is good if you borrow money.
Asetru@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
If your interest is less than inflation.
Like my colleague who bought a house for about 1.5% before inflation nearly went to 10. Man.
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
at below the rate of inflation
explodicle@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Inflation was added to your mortgage rate. And now that everyone saves with real estate instead of saving money, the cost of real estate is very high.
So while your payments do go down over time, your hours worked to either rent or own have gone up.

Vinstaal0@feddit.nl 2 weeks ago
No inflation would mean that we would have no interest on our bank accounts, no wage increases, no profit increases etc. It is part of the circular economy, and it can work according to that theory, but we all together need to reform starting with the massive companies.
