Can we get the reverse of this post?
Like, I’m going to call all my reservations feeding appointments from now on. “Hi, yes, I made an appointment to consume the flesh of lesser beings in this room? Yes, four of us total consuming flesh tonight in this room, it’s under Shimada? Great…”
Stupid.
Oh cool! With the Internet these days it’s not always obvious, but this is a fine example showing the signs of the teenage mind. The post is preoccupied with the notion of embarrassment, the ultimate death in that social environment.
More importantly, their young brains have yet to develop the experience and wisdom to comprehend the existential seriousness of the spaghetti appointment. Adults can be stunted in maturity, never developing emotionally nor intellectually, they dive headfirst into the most extremes of political and moral insanity…
But one thing that marks a true adult is upholding the sacred spaghetti appointment. Across all cultures and creeds around the world, adults understand that the right food at the right time with the right people is one of the most important appointments one must make.
I’m not sure what you are trying to say here. While I have no problem with making appointments to ensure there is availability and flow of an establishment works fine, I can also understand some people don’t want to schedule an appointment and therefore will just not go to those places often. I don’t see that as making them “less than” me for liking something else. Hell if they want to grab Chinese food and sit by the lake, more power to them, wish I would have thought of it
The perfect example of a Lemmy exchange. A philosopher with an autist.
And the philosopher is also probably an autist. We’re all autistic here, is what I’m trying to say.
Fair enough
It really is. Someone practicing a joke for their standup routine on Tumblr gets dissected to dust. It’s why I’m here, I think.
Come for the freedom, stay for the autism.
But which is which?
The answer is yes. For we all contain multitudes.
No problem, I can be direct. There are two things.
-
The OP suggests making reservations is “less than” by calling it embarrassing. So the framing around teenage/adult was a clap back against the original diminishing of making reservations.
-
The pontificating about right food/time/people was to highlight the meaningful purposes that are often behind making a “spaghetti appointment”–spending time with loved ones, engaging with a life passion, or even doing something therapeutic–which the OP neglects.
This does not suggest that spontaneous food activities are less than, nor does it suggest that one cannot prefer one thing while appreciating the value of another. They are not mutually exclusive.
Yeah I was going to make a joke to make sure people knew I was being lighthearted by saying something like only a blank would try to eat spaghetti by the lake, but couldn’t think of term at the time that wouldn’t also belittle someone else’s troubles so I just set it and left it.
If I were to disagree with what you were reportraying they said though… The right food/time/people to me doesn’t spell making a reservation at a restaurant… that feels like rushed not putting in effort other than “having to show up” to prove you care type of deal. I suppose it would have made more sense to me if it were in the context of putting in the effort of making a loving dish and showing up for the people you wish to show you care. (That said, it also goes to shit on Thanksgiving/Christmas and what not if people are doing it out of “requirement.”
Anyways, I meant it to be more light hearted and just didn’t spend the time to apparently get my point across either so I get why people were downvoting. I half assed a response, lol
who unleashed the philosophy chatbots

Some sauce . . . Some sauce . . .
Ah yes 6 o’clock appointment for spaghetti under Alfredo Sumsause
Is it just me or do places not do reservations anymore? Every place now just has a “waiting list” which is worthless for planning your evening around, since you have to be nearby when they text you or they’ll just cancel you and give it to the next person
Higher end establishments still do, and it’s not uncommon for places to require a reservation for large groups.
It’s not embarrassing at all, I will happily report for my date and ask for an apron!
