I order doordash and I'm a picky eater. The elusive +4 rant bait.

its REALLY about a lot more than that and that's really just insultingly reductive to peoples genuine experiences. Their own rationalization might not stack up, i'm not saying that it does, but people don't just do things for no reason, unless you broadly believe that some people are just moral failures where others aren't. I'm also not suggesting some of these people aren't just entitled, have some disposable income, and want tasty food. But mixed into this conversation are people who genuinely struggle with specialized anxiety disorders that are in no small part exist due to the ambient existential dread that's taken hold of ALL generations. The people who are entitled or not are all doing things for the same reasons, fundamentally. People are at large more disassociated with the most basic social structures in their lives than ever. Because of unforeseen consequences of the information age, the degradation of the economy and the corruption of the institutions people are supposed to place their faith in, people feel jaded and like no choice they make practically matters (because in many senses, they don't. If you save 450 dollars on door-dash in a given month, in all likelihood, the statistics say that money will just go to other, similar expenses or washed down the infinite Cost of Living drain.) So does the whole situation really boil down to stupid people wasting their money for no reason, because they are lazy? Ignoring the fact that MOST of these people hold down one or multiple jobs and side hustles because that's the bare minimum required to survive in most places.

I agree with a lot of what you said, but it’s not always a temptation turned addiction thing for disabled people. And some people legitimately will starve to death before they can get up and go outside for food. For example, I have a medical condition (dysautonomia) that can cause me to lose energy in sudden, weeks long ‘crashes’. During that time period I lose a lot of weight because I can barely get out of bed, and if I do I’m fainting because of my blood pressure. So I don’t cook for myself or get food in general. As I eat less, my condition worsens, and as my condition worsens, I eat less. Generally the motivation to live is there but the physical ability to get up and eat isn’t. Often I’ll even be given food that I physically can’t eat because I feel so nauseous from being food deprived. I think in this case DoorDash is a good third option because often hyperpalatable foods can help me overcome that nausea, whereas the rotting food in the fridge will not and I’ll just continue to starve. Like it sound so stupid and makes me seem like this pitiful helpless child of a person, but that’s kind of just the stuff I have to deal with lol. Also I have low income and am responsible with my money so I don’t allow DoorDash to become an addiction. At my worst I’ll order it 2-3 times a week. I haven’t ordered in a few weeks thanks to the support of my friends and family, and the fact that I have been eating prevents me from going into those crashes where I’m alone in a house for weeks with no will to eat.

op, depressed is not the same as being physically disabled. do you understand that? you made an argument that said "i don't like when people use disability as a reason" and then used what you describe as "non-hospitalization-worthy depression" as an example, which is just confusing. as the commenter above described, a lot of people quite literally cannot leave bed- not due to mental health, but because we are so extremely ill that it would put us in danger. if i'm doordashing or getting delivery it's because i physically can't get out of bed. i have a very severe autoimmune disorder that makes me violently ill and faint in natural sunlight, as well as a degenerative muscle disease that makes it extremely difficult when paired with light sensitivity to even go out to a car without collapsing. in no world could i walk to go get food, or god forbid drive when i'm at risk of passing out for every second i'm outside. i have to rely on someone else to get through my day to day (i don't have access to a wheelchair or other mobility aids) and the rare occasion i have to have doordash etc, it's because i really, truly cannot do anything else. the original comment just feels hateful towards disabled people for the sake of it.

@@wormworm580ok, but why are the food in your fridge rotting tho?

@@nearlynightmost people who are disabled are depressed -- depression is the #1 cause of disability, & most forms of disability also cause depression. so if being depressed is a good predictor of door dash being bad for you then door dash is bad for most disabled people

@@Ozone946more like they’re in those jobs because they are too dumb to get a better job or manage money

All these stories make me inclined to be believe that all of this is DDs fault rather than the individual consumers. DD found an exploit, got people addicted when it was artificially cheap, then slowly raised the price as investors money ran out. It sucks how much learned helplessness there is nowadays, but that’s all by design. Learned helplessness helps corporate profits rates

@@soymilkman at what point do individuals have to accept responsibility for their actions? Nobody tricked them into DD or UE, they know what the prices are and choose to pay them.

This. A thousand times this. People basically let tech companies bully them around and are convinced they can't do anything about it. Like, just watch a KZfaq tutorial bros.

You should expect everyone to be an expert on the devices that they use every day and that their everyday existence depends upon. There are very few activities in modern life that do not revolve around a computer operating as intended. If you don't know how to use a computer competently, or operate and do basic maintenance on a motor vehicle, you have problems. At least know how to locate the information on how to do it if you aren't practiced in it.

As a former teacher gen z are dead ass tech illiterate and it blows my mind actually because even as a younger millennial we were always go to tech support for the entire world and seen as some sort of technological savants because we could google error messages. I expected gen z to be even better than us coming out of the womb with it basically but so many of them are like boomer-tier and can only use a phone and even then just specific apps. Do the zoomers even jailbreak anymore? Cause first thing I ever do when I get a phone is unlock it and flash custom software.

​@@soasertsusthe problem is that tech is made to be for everyone instead of anyone. there's no incentive to learn unless you're invested into deeper technology because the functionality is provided free of knowledge. I have to teach friends how to open/make .zip files while windows does all the work for you

@@AttacMage me when i ”tar -czvf”

Yeah I was pretty surprised at that too. I don’t have kids but I babysit and it’s so great to be able to play with them, use your imagination, and just have fun. Being a kid is such a short period of your life, that it’s nice to indulge in that kind of thing as an adult

I mean, to be fair, disabled people rely on plenty of very modern services and pieces of technology to get by when for other people said things might merely be a luxury. And before a lot of those services/conveniences, lots of disabled people would have to do things like skip meals or go without basic needs or miss work. Maybe it's not like that for doordash, maybe there is some obvious alternative that offers the same level of accessibility and isn't wildly expensive. But I don't actually know what it's like to have mobility issues that make going to the store an ordeal, so I don't feel super comfortable assuming that what is unnecessary for me is also unnecessary for others.

​@@mooncrime4998 Twitter users are not in the business of putting themselves in someone else's shoes and would rather get cheap dunks lmao. They see a few people get way too defensive about having an expensive takeout habit, and then disabled people who might actually get some real value and convenience out of grocery delivery eventually get roped into the discourse and that makes for a lot more fodder just due to general ableism online.

@@mooncrime4998 It would mostly be family members taking care of disabled people before stuff like Uber, DD, and working remotely became an option. Modern services free up those family members to no longer be as burdened by their role as caretaker.

​@@mooncrime4998delivering groceries once a week is way less expensive than delivering doordash everyday

As a disabled person, I feel compelled to say that there are 100% times I wouldn't have eaten and could have potentially died if not for door dash. Cooking is a physical and fire hazard for me as I pass out when exposed to heat. And some days i can't even stand upright long enough to get anything ready to eat. When I don't eat I get migraines, which make my blood pressure spike to scary numbers, which is a stroke risk. It's not often, but if I'm alone when that happens it's terrible, and Doordash is a solution.

At least you recognize it which is leagues better than a lot of people that order too much DoorDash

If you can afford it and are okay with spending x amount more on food then who cares? I'd honestly do the same because I'd rather spend the 20 minutes to an hour doing literally anything else. I can't justify the price so catch my ass eating a lot of soup and the occasional frozen pizza.

here's a tip: Groceries delivery. Yeah sure it cost me an extra 10$ on the 400$ I spent each month on groceries but at least I can comfortably sit at home and take my time picking everything I want. I had a time where I didn't do any groceries for about 3 years living off uber eats and local pizza chains, I probably spent double if not triple what I'm spending right now for basically the same effort.

@@bobbobby5200Oh yeah, I’ve done that too and it definitely helps make it easier to just get it done.

I mean. You still have to go to a supermarket and man, its so fucked here. Still much cheaper than ordering food. But sometimes its close. Like i spent $28 (plus like 45 minutes getting ingredients and 1 hour in the kitchen) buying ingredients to make 3 burgers (no leftovers). I can get 2 decent quality burgers for that price from a few places. Its so frustrating. Food sucks.

Obviously you haven't been grocery shopping recently

It's so easy too. Take them to a store and tell them "do you want this? yes? Ok pick it up. Do you think you'll want this later? Pick that up too" Yes they're going to be really annoying about it at first and pick up a bunch of junk food. Let them. Let them eat all the junk food and then feel like shit the next day. That's how you mature.

They really do. My little brother never learned, qnd our parents are gone (mom passed, dad is a deadbeat and bailed on us) and he just turned 21. Never been grocery shopping on his own in his life. Feels bad man. He wouldnt ever go with me, either (our relationship is a bit stressed right now) so idk how to get him moving that direction :(

I mean the answer is no because pathologization is a part of the overall conquest of "rationalism." Everything must have a reason beyond your control. The most important thing now is to take away your agency. When people tell you you have ADHD, depression, autism, etc. these are mostly unhelpful terms that exist to put you in a box and make it hard to get out. The view is that people broadly are "maladaptive" and consequently neither have nor deserve freedom, but instead subjugation to an academic-finance duopoly composed of doctors, therapists, CEOs etc. looking to make a quick back and also in turn destroy your actual existence. Now that said, knowing I was suicidal and going to the therapist made me not suicidal, but also the important thing to most people was that I was suicidal at all. I couldn't be allowed to be suicidal, you aren't allowed to be outside the purview of authority, and that's what pathology is.

I think unless you're complaining about prices of food "these days" based on having door to door delivery service nobody is going to complain about whatever you're doing
