But see to me, that’s not worth it because you have to pay fees and then you have to tip them and then there’s always something that makes it a lot more expensive to do it! Especially when you’re like me on a fixed income!

I have the option to use Door Dash with very limited, ever changing delivery options, but never use them. I meal-prep Sundays, make 2-3 things like lasagna, tacos/burritos & chili/soup & freeze individual servings. I get a variety of cheaper, healthier meals & less clean-up than cooking daily.

I get bored cooking for myself for 50 years but I will NEVER DoorTrash my meals.
One way people in more urban areas differ from those in the sticks is this constant DoorDash debate.
Cooking every day is a goddamn drag even when you like cooking. But having the option NOT to cook is a luxury.
DoorDash doesn’t exist here. You can go get takeout. Not even pizza is delivered.

I refuse to use DoorDash even though it's highly available. I'm a cheap-ass that will happily go pick up something to avoid delivery fees!

this is exactly where we live. 15 miles to the nearest restaurant, and in winter, that's not too attractive. But we do love to cook, and make sure we do can easy meals like stew, chili and tomato sauce

I'm sorry for the person who was beat to death and killed. My sincere condolences to their loved ones. ICE is going to continue to kill people because the purpose of a system is what it does. It is not what it says it does or what you hope it does. Maybe USians will finally confront this truth.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

This happened because no ICE agents were charged for murdering Renee Good. To save lives, Minn officials need to charge Numerous ICE officers for these murders NOW! If they won't, then step aside and allow other officials to hold these killers accountable!
NEW: ICE officers in Minn executed a man they were holding on ground. I'm not exaggerating. This is real footage published in Minnesotta Star Tribune. Officers surround man. They are beating them. Then you hear shot as one ICE officer executes the man. Every officer involved MUST be charged!
