    Making extensive use of food delivery services is a trait i unapologetically use to filter people out of my life. (Unless they have medical reasons…)

      Why? I know several young families that just don’t have the time or a car to get groceries for the whole week, delivery services help them a lot

        How can you not have time to buy groceries? It’s not that big of a process.

        I understand not having a car though. Some places are not very walkable.

            If you don’t have an hour to buy food a couple times a week, there’s something supremely fucked up about your priorities.

              It usually has nothing to do with priorities, and everything to do with the crushing weight of capitalism giving you no time for leisure or recreation otherwise. Have kids and two jobs? Good luck spending much time with them.

              I don’t personally use grocery delivery services but I can see their appeal and use.

                I do have kids and two jobs. I’m not sure what your point is. Half the time I use grocery store runs as way to talk to my kids in an environment where they’re not distracted by technology.

                  Your experience isn’t the same as everyone else’s, that’s my point. Just because you like to use a chunk of your free time to shop doesn’t mean everyone else does. Many in your situation would prefer to use that time at home with their kids (where you can also avoid technology after ordering if you desire, btw)

                    Right, what I’m pushing back against are the people in this thread who are implying it’s impossible to find time to both buy food and sleep, not people like you who are saying “I’d rather trade my money to buy additional time for leisure”, which is perfectly reasonable.
