> if you're eating alone you're basically losing time you could be socializing
That's exactly why I eat alone. I like food over people.

@Puking I've always disliked going to restaurants for this reason
the problems are
1) division of labour is important, even for "communists" and if you spend your time cooking meals you're not doing more productive things
2) eating is a social activity, and one of the more important lessons I've learned throughout the years is you should almost never eat alone - it's like working out, if you're eating alone you're basically losing time you could be socializing - if you're eating at home, and you're alone, you're not building solidarity as much as you could be. Also it's difficult to eat with other people in places that are not restaurants, in practice, a lot of the time
3) if you're out adventuring, it's difficult to have food prepped *all* the time. A trip to another city is virtually impossible to pull off without a restaurant visit. You can blame this on capitalism if you want but location matters a lot with food.

@alcade @Puking but you are, broadly speaking right: it is burning existing solidarity to fight covid
this is not a good situation to be in

@alcade @Puking I have been doing this out of solidarity with people I'm assuming are doing the same

@jeffcliff @Puking Jeff what are you talking about with this stuff about social activity, building solidarity, and not eating alone? You've been self isolating in your apartment for 2 years now with no end in sight.
Get out of the house and build some solidarity, comrade.

@alcade @Puking they'll learn the hard way what happens when they do that, unfortunately
