I do self-criticism constantly because I’m trapped in a Maoist cult where comrades (white terrorists) criticize me mercilessly for having a fascist credit card (VISA Silver Signature Rewards)

They won’t let me order vegan pizza anymore because the phone is fascist and “summoning my pizza slaves with a bourgeois app” is “bad vibes”

This is the moment that I finally realize that the Maoist cult was right all along.

I think this is where it's from. Just something someone came up with that caught on and became a meme here.

Thanks, truly the face of modern opression.

They make their own food dork

Also imagine posting such a self own of your taste buds, I always eat at a hole in the wall ran by a Chinese grandma that berates me for not being a fatass and gives me free food

[–] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago (4 children)

The best Chinese food is always in a dirty room somewhere with 90% elderly mah jong players and front of house that greet regulars by yelling "WHY ARE YOU HERE!?"

[–] Moss@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There used to be a Chinese restaurant (or what we call Chinese in Ireland, half of it was chips and curry) near me that had ridiculously cheap meals and the food was amazing. They only accepted cash and even though there was a dining area, the only people who ever sat there were the worker's kids doing their homework. I came to the conclusion that it had to be a front for money laundering because the food was so good and so cheap

Now its being gentrified :(

Mob front restaurants are awesome. Some of the best pizza and sandwhich shops in Philadelphia in the us are fronts for the mob. Or were, 20 years ago, i haven't been back in a long time.

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think the stereotype is that if there isn't at least one kid doing homework you should re-consider eating there.

God, immigrant run restaurants. All the stories about doctors and engineers and skilled semastresses and on and on who were shut out of their porfession by racism and regulations so they started restaurants because it's a relatively accessible way to get a small business up and running.

I know a Uzbek couple who were literally particle physicists in the SU and now run a restaurant.

[–] mar_k@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

If an immigrant owned restaurant has negative reviews from entitled white people saying "service was poor" or "staff seemed rude" I'm immediately more inclined to go there tbh. Food is always top tier.

she like, fusses over me like i was her kid, its adorable and i love her

also yeah all their food is in this series of layered mystery vats that are impeccably clean with a 100 rating that theyre very proud of. letting it roast in the juices makes it chefs-kiss its also apparently really low on labor, they just throw it all in the vat on monday and keep it simmering all week, tastes amazing. shes from like guangdong or something and used to run a communal kitchen there but moved to america when her kids moved here for university many decades ago. she hasnt been back to china in a long time so i showed her videos of her home town and she was shocked at the infrastructure changes

he spent more on doordash than I make in a year isn't that fun

[–] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Dudes spending half a million Rand on DoorDash FFS. I know you can't compare currencies and shit, but that's enough for a large family to live comfortably in South Africa, in a nice suburban housing complex even.

First world excess really makes me angry for some reason lol.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

WHO THE FUCK DOORDASHES HOOTERS' SHITTY GREASY SLOP? stop-posting-amogus

[–] citrussy_capybara@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Dude probably doesn’t tip on that order and writes in “you got to awooga and I didn’t, there’s your tip” in the notes, so it’s actually saving money on the order vs other places.

[–] iie@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

oh fuck this is true isn't it

After reading about the guy going to prison multiple times for wage theft of his employees and how he would Venmo them $0.01 when the asked to get paid…

I know people who order pizza from Chuck-E-Cheese? Who goes there for the food? You go for the weird Star Wars arcade game and the scary animatronics

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You go for the weird Star Wars arcade game and the scary animatronics

That feel when you want the weird Star Wars arcade game and the scary animatronics but Chuck-E-Cheese is no more sicko-wistful

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah those kinds of places can't survive when working people have no disposable income. It's part of what's driving all the isolation and lonliness. All the free third places are long gone except libraries, and many of the paid third places are collapsing because there isn't enough disposable income going around to keep them open. People stay home and doomscroll because they already paid for the phone plan and can't afford to do anything else.

I can't believe no one in this thread mentioned this guy was sued for wage theft of tens of thousands of dollars

This is how I imagine all people who say they "don't know how to cook" live

[–] autismdragon@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm neurodiverse and cant cook without support really? Other than like, pasta and scrambled eggs. Im sorta learning though.

But yeah I get delivery like once or twice a week and if my disaiblity staff and I cant cook a week itll be more. And I'm living on socsec.

[–] axont@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You don't need to feel insecure or anything if the situation doesn't apply to you. I mean that in a nice way and don't think you should feel ashamed at all if you're in a bad spot right now. It's enough that you're trying to learn and do better.

[–] autismdragon@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Thanks. Idk why but these posts do make me feel insecure. I know when people here mock people like this they dont mean the neurodiverse but I still feel the need to remind them about us because I feel like we're collateral damage.

Why on God's green Earth would someone get Hooter's delivered!?!? I hate the restaurant but it's like buying alcohol to go from a strip club. Being there is the point!
