    We pay other people to do the things we can’t or don’t want to do all the time, this isn’t different.

    Did I stutter?

    Make your own phone. Make your own toothpaste. Grow your own strawberries.

      Wow what a great argument, “make your own phone” how about you make your own time instead of wageslaving for 13 hours a day

          You mean shitting on them for letting themselves be abused? No selfrespecting human would work for 13 hour shifts and be proud of it but hey, you do you if you’re so brainwashed to be a serf

      No, you didn’t stutter, your argument was just nonsensical.

      Making your own food is a very basic and fundamental skill, which is also much cheaper than any other option, and it has nothing in common with your disingenous examples.

      But I guess that is also a very American thing, that homecooked food is seen some sort of exotic fantasy, instead of the default solution.

        Nah dude, it’s not exotic. But sometimes the last fucken thing I wanna do after working a 13 hour shift is come home and cook a meal.

          Agreed. I wish there were sensible healthy and affordable options. Like what catering provides to companies for lunch.

          Why are you allowing yourself to be used in such a way? Sounds like you’re proud for working 13 hours in a shift. It’s not everyone else’s fault you don’t see yourself as a slave to your boss

            It’s temporary while my wife completes her degree. Neither of us grew up very privileged, so I found something that supports us both. I’m not proud at all to be a wage slave. However, I am proud that I’m able to support both my wife and I on a single income while she’s in school. Sure it fucking sucks that I put in 50-70 hours every week. Either way, I beg fucken pardon if I decide to give myself a lil break every now and again and order delivery

        Not an American. Also, able to cook and doing so most days. Am I allowed to have an opinion now? Good.

        It’s just not for you to decide which tasks other people should perform themselves or outsource for money as long as somebody is willing to sell that service.

        Making your own food is a very basic and fundamental skill, which is also much cheaper than any other option, and it has nothing in common with your disingenous examples.

        I happen to think building and repairing computers or fixing my own bathroom sink are very basic, fundamental skills which are also cheaper than other options. Do I go around and gatekeep what people shouldn’t ask other people for help about?
