Ok well, the point was that you can eat at a restaurant as a family for under $100.

I think we’re probably going to see a schism at some point in the fediverse.

The fragile people who can’t seem to tolerate anything they don’t like will end up in their own bubble.

It’s not that great, and the creator seems to have some weird fixation on little girls.

You don’t have to be curious. Just about everywhere there is civilization, you can eat at a restaurant for under THIRTY-FOUR FUCKING DOLLARS. The fact this needs to be spelled out to you should be a wake up call to anyone who isn’t living in your privileged bubble.

A better question would be, where are you living where you can’t find a meal for under that price? I’d love to know so we can do some internet searching and see if you’re telling the truth.

Sorry you’re in that position.

Is there a welfare program that you can get on to help?

Or maybe you don’t know what you’re talking about.

It would explain this reaction, and why you’re no longer confident when pressed to give details.

So it’s hyperbole.

You’re literally ignoring the restaurants that don’t help you support your argument.

Shit is insanely overpriced, especially in the entitled and privileged area that you live. You don’t need to lie about costs.

Have you tried this?

Where I live, native species is brush that will eventually cover my entire house.

They’re charging you the most you’re willing to pay while giving you the least you’re willing to accept.

You’re not “just” paying for convenience, your paying for the luxurious lifestyles of those maximizing profit and defending them in the process.

I used to think useful idiots were the exception.

What are you talking about?

Whatever is enough to keep me just under the amount to qualify for welfare.

Fuck the ruling class.

No.

The math works out and they can do it, they just end up having no savings.

Yeah, pizza is more cheap shit with insane profit margins.

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.
