but this is a good thing

places have reputations

just because some people are dumb enough to risk places with draconian laws doesn’t mean doing this shit doesn’t hurt your tourism, especially in related time windows (you wanna bet this event is running in the news back home for this guy?)

(also see USA ICE and the World Cup for an obvious example)

i mean idiots go to North Korea and now the USA still

and yea i don’t care about reddit or whatever hang up you have over it

you’re going to be really disappointed if you lemmy or any other site will be different at large

if this were some form of state enforced punishment over insulting islam or the like we’d see people throwing all kinds of derision

this kind of behavior for something so minor should elicit disgust

that said people should be respectful to other cultures or not go

having grown up in an island tourist economy for over two decades I can say with actual specifics that yes, do this type of shit enough and yea it can bite your economy in the ass

and what kind of moron gatekeeps a social media website, lmao

sure but anyone supporting jail time over hurt feelings needs a reality check

hope they enjoy the hit to tourism

I read two books in the morning, I read two books at night

I read two books in the afternoon, it makes me feel alright

I read two books in time of peace, and two in time of war

I read two books before I read two books, and then I read two more

I imagine about like that. Still the funniest cover I’ve ever heard.

Byron’s Drive In is gone

yes that was in the original comment

in economics the general abstraction would be ‘all things equal next best option’

wage is just a simpler shorthand to quantize your time relative to other options, you could do just straight hours but personally I value my free time well above my pay even with overtime

but you are getting lost in specifics

the point was cooking for yourself has other costs than just food ingredients, those costs are factored into what you pay for an external meal, figure out your total costs (and benefits) for an internal one or it’s not fair to compare the two (an example i highlighted was controlling ingredient quality)

if you’d still rather cook at home but the math doesn’t line up, something is worth more than what’s listed there and there is use in identifying what that is

we do this naturally all the time without deeper thought but people often miss things that way and end up unhappy with decisions

things can turn out in unexpected ways that still fail but i rarely regret doing things otherwise

everyone should because i assure you anyone with any possible control over your life surely does

also if your only take away is buy food from a corporation you missed the actual point of my comment

she wants fame and plotical power too

run

you’re not counting your labor

lets say cooking + dishes takes an hour (maybe 2)

if you make 30$/hour even ignoring possibly time and a half if you work 40 already and assuming picking up more hours is possible

it starts to not really be cheaper, so quality has to be the real benefit and control

otherwise work more and arbitrage the difference

with or without alfalfa beans

seems like an easy fix
