Comment on DoorDash now warns you that your food might get cold if you don’t tip

Part of it I blame on anti social behavior among people under 40. We have a lot of extreme social anxiety over simple things like talking on the phone which extends into a severe inability to date. When you have tons of incels that means that means that men and women can’t share the cost of housing and women have to work as much as men, which doubles the workforce. Obviously the solution is not to prohibit women from working, the way that people like Pim Tool like to imply.

Have you considered that people are less social when everything costs so much and people have so little?

  That can certainly contribute, though people have been poor in the past and we didn’t have an epidemic of severe social anxiety.

    All over the parks here are signs that you can’t use the park unless you have your $35 annual park pass. I’m talking about random dinky local parks. If you can’t pay you can’t even enjoy the trees. In 1980 the average movie ticket was around $2 in 2023 in the city its more like $15. 4 kids want to go see a movie its $60, $80 if they share some drinks/popcorn.
    
    Simultaneously to everything being expensive and having less and less to spare after they pay for drastically more expensive essentials there is more to do and see online without spending a bunch of additional money per unit of time spent.

    Adjusted for inflation, that’s three times what it should cost. Four kids, adjusted for inflation, it should only be $23. 15 years ago, loading up on over priced popcorn, soda and candy was only $10.

Do we though? I’ve not met anyone like this, but maybe there’s a reason for that. My social circle is outrageously slutty and outgoing. And prefer to share Netflix logins and cook at home because you can have an amazing night at 20% the cost of going out.
