Sure, at the basic level, everyone needs food. But you can get a lot more granular about it. For example, a lot of people buy things they may not need to survive, like snacks/desserts. Or perhaps they do buy items they need, but they usually get versions that cost more (whether that be because the particular store is more expensive overall, or simply because they’re buying items that are more costly than things at the lowest end that still allow you to survive like beans and rice).

The point is, most (not ALL) people can buckle down their food spending in some way or another, and I think that’s what we’re seeing here.

They probably should. FB and all those other apps suck just as much.

I feel like the basic idea of delegation (assigning roles/tasks) is simple enough. If anything, it’s effective delegation that is tough because you have to know the capabilities of your people, and who would best be suited for what.

Weird. All my schools had a bunch of single story classrooms you walk between. Nice to get some sunshine between classes

It’s not a manhole, it’s way too small. But yeah not sure why it’s square. Could be European, they do weird stuff like that all the time.

It was called that because Spain was the only country accurately reporting cases. So it made it seem like they had it the worst, even tho they didn’t.

Interesting, my Mazda doesn’t have that problem 😉

“Well, maybe just the one time. Take it or leave it”

This is turning into some Mistborn shit. “Don’t trust writing not written on metal”

Yes… you are.

It would then be a sparkling vision.

I’ve seen like 4 or 5 so far (Bay Area). It ALWAYS catches my eye how stark and stupid they look.

Not to me, I’ve never understood that sentiment. I can act as silly as I want without being drunk, and I hate how it turns other people into almost different people. If I wanted to be friends with their drunken selves, I wouldn’t be friends with their sober selves.

You’re totally right. I guess I was thinking of it from the angle of people who do things like this on purpose (but in control), not people who have lost control due to addiction or otherwise. Probably because of the “jokey” tone of the post.

I mean I get the structure of the joke, but in this case it’s just kind of sad. I think it’s because it is not SO exaggerated of a thing to do that I could actually envision some people doing this straight up…

People are so weird in their obsession with alcohol and getting drunk…

Where I am in the States, it is about the same as the price you stated. I think this person must be in Kentucky or somewhere in middle-America.

This is… some interesting logic…

That they have to buy personally for some reason, instead of receiving a stipend or something…

Not really, but I’m not even sure the character herself would qualify it as rape based on her upbringing, so that could be why.
