Make your own toothpaste. Grow your own strawberries. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Apocalypteroid@lemmy.world -3 points 1 year ago (1 child) U OK, hon?

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 permalink fedilink source parent [+] breecher@sh.itjust.works -10 points 1 year ago (2 children) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Vedgytones@leminal.space 14 points 1 year ago (2 children) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ExhibiCat@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 1 year ago Agreed. I wish there were sensible healthy and affordable options. Like what catering provides to companies for lunch. permalink fedilink source parent [+] gurnu@lemmy.world -7 points 1 year ago (1 child) 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 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Vedgytones@leminal.space 9 points 1 year ago 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 permalink fedilink source parent [–] Don_alForno@feddit.org 8 points 1 year ago* 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? permalink fedilink source parent
