because it doesn’t involve a third party.

Man, the rationales some people have for why they let some people rip them off but not others is mind-boggling.

Really reinforces my opinion of the average person.

I can’t take my family out to eat for under $100.

Are you in fucking Belize? Do you have a family of at least 8? Are you horrible with money?

Or maybe this is just hyperbole.

Snacks are an incredible waste of money and they have some of the largest profit margins of all grocery items. $5 for a bag of chips that isn't even a pound is disgusting, but they charge it because people pay it. It only makes sense to buy snacks if you're wealthy from screwing other people over, or you're on welfare.

If you want to eat cheap, you need to swallow your pride. Probably one of the best meals that just about anyone can make is a microwave meatball sub with raw broccoli and carrots on the side. Extremely easy, very cheap, filling, and it's always going to be delicious if you're actually hungry.

Get used to eating the same things over and over again, and stop treating food like entertainment.

£25 (~US$34), which is about the price of a decent meal for one person in a low-end restaurant here.

Bullshit.

A lot of the younger generation has been convinced to live above their means, or at least in such a way that they are not preparing at all financially for their future.

Since most of them can't cook and are afraid to try new things, they just eat fast food for most of their meals because it's embarrassing for them to prepare their own meals.

Pride has much do with it, although it's undeserved.

Groceries delivered, make my own meals.

I haven't eaten at a restaurant in years and I don't plan on that changing any time soon.

Never seen or read harry potter.

Always looked lame to me.

I wouldn't mind if it's opt-in.

I certainly don't want the average internet user having any more control over what I see than they unfortunately already have.

Can't believe people don't have shame in liking whatever disney shits out.

I can tell your brain is fried from social media.

Ah yes, rhetoric for you to justify their profit margins.

No greed for sure.

One of the many benefits of only living in major metropolitan areas.

I was perplexed when I found out this was even a debate, but then I realized one of the participants was an idiot.

Why are you so confident in your understanding of it?

I can tell you're not a homeowner.

What the fuck else are people supposed to do with their yard?

If you don't cut the grass, it grows and eventually you'll start getting brush. Not to mention lots of idiots have HOAs which mandate they cut the grass.

This shouldn't be weird, but I'm consistently upset at how dumb the average idiot is.

It's scary how stupid most people are without even realizing it and I hate how I have to suffer for it every day.

No.

I wouldn't buy either though because you're paying dollars for something that costs pennies.

Whose outcome cannot be manipulated at all.

Somebody already mentioned that, and I mentioned how all the communities are all locked and literally only the bot can post.

It also appears to only mirror reddit, with no connection to other lemmy instances.

This is not what I am talking about adding.

Hey, that's when Democrats only started nominating the Clinton-crew for presidencies!
