Comment on A Completely Natural Conversation in the NYC Reddit
pennomi@lemmy.world 9 months agoIf you don’t have an hour to buy food, 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.
Right, what I’m pushing back against are the people in this thread who are implying it’s impossible to find time to 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.

Work two jobs? Fuck you. Want rest? Fuck you. Want healthy food? Fuck you. Taking care of someone? Fuck you. Need sleep? Fuck you.

My days pretty much consist entirely of work, chores, gym, spending time with my kid, and sleeping. If not for the flexibility I get from work, I don’t think I’d ever be able to do groceries.
