it’s not a personal attack. it’s that it’s literally not a waste of money for the people that use it.

just because you perceive it as a waste, doesn’t mean it isn’t for others. I’m sure things you spend money on would seem like a total waste of money to other people. maybe you drink a lot and spend $500 a month on booze, for people who drink a lot that isn’t ‘wasted money’.

I’m much more likely to die in a car accident, and yet I have to drive almost everyday…

No. I don’t think that at all. Anymore than I think the environment has an obligation to accommodate humans.

I don’t think there is such a thing as nature without people. A lot of the ‘humans are evil and the environment is good’ is based on false assumptions. Do you think a volcano cares when it explodes and wipes out entire local ecosystems or is any under obligation to not explode?

they are not apex predators.

cats are prey for larger animals and are often killed my racoons and other stronger animals.

they aren’t. only a small percentage of cats live up to the ‘serial killer’ reputation, someting like less than 10%. most cats can’t catch shit, and what they do catch are easy prey, like weak/injuried, or baby animals.

there are a lot of anti-cat nutcases out there who basically think cats should never be let outside ever. and are trying to change laws to make this vision a reality, under the guise of ‘protecting wildlife’.

not any different than people who wnat to make the entire interet require age verification to ‘protect the children’

it’s stupid but it’s gaining traction because there isn’t any organized resistance to it.

but please tell me again how stupid i am and how smart you are… because you know, the facts of reality don’t exist or something, because clearly only you know the truth of things.

we can’t all be big brained geniuses communists like you .ml lot.

so why do you care if other people use it? it saves them time and they have the money to burn.

clearing six figures for a couple isn’t very much in 2026 dude. you’re not even in the top quartile of incomes. you only make more more than like 70% of americans. The people I am talking about are make 100K by themselves at like the age of 25, and are making 300-400K as couples in their 30s/40s. I clean 150K by myself and I am poor compared to most folks in my city.

you can be angry about it all you want but other people have the money to ‘waste’. for those people time is the most limited resource and they would rather not spend 10 hours a week shopping and cooking.

right and all human beings that aren’t in africa are invasive species! we should kill all the humans who don’t live in africa!

if you need to worry about that kind of money you are too poor to use these services. That’s fine, your not the target demo.

The people using them typically make over 100K+ a year and for them time is money. They don’t shop in stores, they don’t cook, and they don’t do take-out either. They dine-in or do delivery. For every meal.

For people making 10K a month, spending 2K a month on delivery food is 20% of their income. It’s entirely affordable. They are also spending 4-5K on rent/mortgage. A lot of them are young people making 100K and living with 3 roommates so they have like 8K+ in disposable income.

I spend maybe $100 month on delivery, during the pandemic it was closer to $300 because I dind’t have the option of dining out anywhere.

You can find it outrageous all you want, doesn’t mean it isn’t a growth industry. I don’t buy first class plane tickets or stay in $1000/night hotels, but those markets are also booming.

Feral cats come from other feral cats. They don’t come from domestic cats in homes.

Same with feral hogs and other feral animal populations.

it’s mostly tip, and tip is optional.

if you pay them a monthly free, like 10 bucks, you get no delivery fees. if you order like twice a month, it pays for itself.

you also often get coupons, discounts, etc. i use these services because I can get $50 in food delivered to my door for like $25.

because the demand for these services is growing rapidly.

where i live tons of people basically live off doordash and other delivery services. my own neighbors order it 1-2 times a day. on my block of maybe 50+ apartments, there are deliveries from drivers basically every 20m, during dinner/lunch hours often there are multiple drivers dropping off at the same time.

many folks I have met are spending well over $1000+ per month on these services.

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t use these services at least a few times a month. millions and millions of people are using them and many of those people are totally addicted.

I ordered it last night because I had to work OT and didn’t get home until 7:30pm, and I was starving. and for $25 bucks I got two meals worth of delicious hot food at my door in 20m.

I wonder what percent of those cats are strays.

the vast majority. feral cats are about 50-65% of the cat population, but people take stats like this and demonize their neighbors who let the cat sit on the porch outside.

i was banned from reddit 5 years ago for posting a picture of my cat chilling on my porch, because the anti-cat nutjobs reported me to admin for ‘inciting violence’. it’s frequent that in the past few years when photo see my cat outside chillin’ or even a photo of him in my backyard chill, they ream me out about how I am a anti-bird Nazi.

my cat has never killed a bird. he killed a couple of baby rabbits which were in my garden.

yeah there are a lot of weirdos on here like that, basically just endlessly accuse you of doing what they are doing and are caught in their own little weird loop of projection.

you’re talking about housing, not cars.

buying a f 150 vs a honda civic is the issue. not the existence of suburbs.

and please, i live in a city that needs no cars, and people here are still racist as fuck. often the non-car owners are the most virulent racist because they are the most self righteous and get angry at the immigrants who need a car to drive to clean their $5 million dollar home… and the irony is tops with those folks.

Non-truck/SUV cars only make up 20% of new car sales now, and it’s been less than 50% for more than a decade. The last time cars were popular was the 2000s, after 2008 economic crisis their sales rapidly decreased.

in another 10 years sedans will be effectively be extinct and everything will be a SUV or a truck. they drop a few percentage points every year.

wtf does racism have to do with car buying?

the russian auto industry is tiny compared to the major automotive market players.

yes

it has massive sales because it has such broad appeal and a huge number of configurable options.

women dominated jobs aren’t lucative typically, so nobody cares.

reason we are so fixated on tech gender discrimination is because the paychecks are larger.

not enough women CEOs is an outrage, but not enough women garbage collectors isn’t. garbage collectors make a good living…
