Every time my wife and I get the idea to do something like this - mainly involving ice cream late at night - we're always brought back down to reality. Maybe it's better where they're at, but I live in the first ring suburb of a metropolis, okay? I don't remember exactly what, but there's always some bullshit hurdle or the other that makes getting in the car and going to the store always a betterless bad option.
Best joke was hidden in the news post.
Wow. That's pretty much me.
oddly, my wife is also out of town this week, and I did basically the same thing, though with pizza delivery. Both times this has happened, I've ordered too much pizza, I leave the room for a minute after eating, and my dog sneaks up on the table/couch, knocks the pizza onto the floor, eats 3-4 slices, then lies down and pretends nothing happened when I come back.
It's a good thing for both of us that my wife doesn't go out of town very often.
I assume you were afraid of scolding him for fear of collapsing into a hypocrisy implosion.
Amateur.
Never change, Jerry, never change.
A man with a family can't take that kind of risk
im paying the same price if I bag it myself or have another person bag it. I'll let the person making minimum wage keep their job.

I hope you're not using a reusable bag when you do that; bag makers gotta feed their family, too.
But its pizza rolls, directly to my house.
Alright, I'm just going to go ahead and say it - pizza rolls arent even that good. They're emergency lazy food. If you're ordering food online anyway, why on Gods green Earth would you not order actual pizza?!
I still like the occasional Totinos pizza ("pizza"). I know it's not pizza. It's a different food category altogether that happens to share the name. It's pizza-adjacent.
I enjoy them in much the same way as one might enjoy Funyuns ("Why not just eat onion rings?!"), chicken mcnuggets ("Why not just eat real chicken?!") or oreos ("Why not just freebase cocaine?!")
Some people like specific foods. It drives my bartender friends up the wall but Rose's grenadine is my favorite to use for my drinks. I just really like how it tastes.
McNuggets doesnt count, there's clearly magic involved
fuck even delivery pizza; in a world where uber eats (and presumably similar services) exists, get actual decent take out
that's why we call it the struggle, you're supposed to sweat
Woah woah woah... Since when has pizza been bumped from "actual decent"? We truly have strayed too far from god's light!
Digiorno's propaganda has taken hold.
This is right in line with an article i read a few years back. The author argues that most frozen pizza falls into The Uncanny Valley Of Pizza. In that they resemble pizza but fall short in so many ways it's off-putting, like a Japanese Dental Surgery Patient Robot. But a Totino's is more like R2-D2, not a pizza, but still enjoyable and on its own.
Wait a sec. Ricotta? Huh. TIL that some (most?) places put ricotta on white pizza, rather than just using a different, alfredo-like sauce. The place where I typically get white pizza just uses a different (tasty) sauce. Fantastic with chicken and mushrooms.
I'll have to keep an eye out for the ricotta. Unlike you, I have nothing really against it (it makes the lasagna lasagna). But it might be the reason why when I get white slices elsewhere (usually buffets), I find they're not as much to my taste.
but I could probably eat ricotta directly out of the container with a little seasoning, so I may be biased.
You cant buy alcohol at the self checkout?
Well not without a basic minimum of human interaction, I suppose
Stupid kids would be buying up all the wine-coolers, I imagine.
I mean, uh... vodka and tequila. Yeah, those are the ones I like!
That's a solid... MAYBE.

When I'm in line at the grocery store, I'll sometimes scrutinize what people in front of me are buying. I often see people clearly buying for a family with kids (a good amount of veggies and fruit but also things like boxed mac and cheese), people doing the same but who can't cook (boxed mac and cheese and then a bunch of cookies and frozen meals), people who can cook some days but not others (mix of veggies and proteins but then a precooked chicken or the like), and then sometimes someone who has a partner that cooks or did cook but is out of town or out of the picture (items like Gabe's list but usually too little food for more than a few days for one person). Occasionally I see someone that looks like they were forced to go vegetarian for health reasons (visible weight issues, sometimes a bottle of Aspirin) but never learned how to cook so the belt is loaded with some fruit but a lot of frozen vegetarian meals and I sympathize because it's really hard to switch over to a full or even mostly vegetarian diet without being able to plan meals and cook. I've seen a number of friends try to do so and end up making bad decisions like trying to replace all the meat protein they used to get with cheese. I mean eating a lot of cheese is wonderful but not for that.
On a more general note, the food choices a lot of friends make terrify me. I gag a bit when people in discord talk about the junk and frozen food they stock up on for release day marathons. My body stopped being able to eat most fast food without quickly making me regret it at least 15 years ago and most frozen food is about the same quality. I keep Korean instant ramen and canned soup in the pantry just in case for the few times I'm too tired or sick to even scramble or fry some eggs but that's thankfully pretty uncommon.
