    It’s not the most well written but the underlying issue of applying capitalist logics of efficiency to one’s entire life is sound

    Most places no longer have locations that are aren’t highly commercialised, for people to simply exist and relax in a communal setting

      that would be a great argument, it’s too bad the article barely even touched on that as it ragged on young people not having the same self-destructive lifestyle the author did at their age.

      like yes, but don’t be too kind to the author who didn’t make this point, instead waxing poetic about making the waiter kick them out after closing and wrote a whole ass opinion about how 13-28 year-olds are “losers” for not spending a couple hours wage on a single cocktail.
