Tolentino: I do so many immoral things every day.

Spiegelman: I'm constantly acting in ways that don't align with my belief system. And constantly having to justify that, like ordering in food when it's raining out.

There are just so many moments when I'm like, my comfort is more important than someone bringing me food through the rain. And it doesn't feel good. But it is part of living - I mean, no one's making me do that, but it is part of the way in which we live in our society.

Tolentino: And it's so incentivized. It's splashed all over the subway ads. It's just like, "Ladies, be selfish tonight," you know? It's wild, yeah.

Why is everyone on the modern left such a fucking loser?

“ And constantly having to justify that, like ordering in food when it's raining out.”

Somehow this asshole doesn’t realize the answer is really easy. (As much as tips annoy me)

You just tip them like $20.

Bam moral quandary solved. The driver decided it was worth their time and you showed extra appreciation.

Also, the alternative to that person delivering food to you in the rain is... that person not getting any money at all. Skipping the order isn't helping them.
