I appreciate where you’re coming from, but understand this is a very personal issue for me. I’ve been dealing with it for the majority of my life.
I’m not going to challenge the specific merits of food delivery. But everyone deals with their disorder in their own way. For example, I solve this issue by simply living next to a grocery store in a walkable area. It’s something I’ve worked towards over time.
What infuriates me is someone trying to code something as “ADHD-adjacent” - and in this case, pass it off as though exploitative gig service delivery apps are some kind of accessibility measure. We are particularly susceptible to the weapons of the information age, which has engineered easy dopamine hits within the reach of our fingers at all times. They are NOT there to make our lives better. They are there to exploit, profit, and manipulate.
Oh, yeah, for sure, the garbage (0-sense) title is screaming monetisation of all the things for a few clicks.
I too resolved a lot of my food issues by having stores in the same building I live (and nice restaurants in the 1 to 5 minute walk where I can skip the delivery & go get it myself).
With delivery I just meant
Having an option if all else fails
An option some ADHD peeps can use, 100% not an option developed to help with ADHD fuckery.
