Date: May 12th, 2025 7:46 PM Author: disco fries (his own flesh as well as all space was still a cage) Eating out is too much of a hassle. My four kids make it a challenge so I just don’t do it. One of the most tedious things about work actually is the expectation of eating all the time, too. Like they’ll have a breakfast (I don’t eat breakfast), and then they’ll have a lunch (and I usually don’t eat at that time either), and then they’ll have a dinner that goes to 1030 or 1100 and the expectation will be that you drink booze (and I don’t drink). But restaurants themselves are all flame. I don’t know the last time I had a good meal anywhere or actually enjoyed myself at a restaurant. |

Date: May 12th, 2025 9:35 PM Author: The Velvet Bulldozer You’re retarded. I’ve been to Italy, Greece, and France in the past year which were all historically cheaper than the US (esp. NYC) for food if you compare similar experiences. The food in Greece has become way more expensive with a weakening dollar and the Ukraine war waging on. Italy and France remain very expensive unless you are eating takeaway food.
I’m sure food is still cheap in shit-hole-istan, but I’m a white American and would not want to ever visit there. |
