> "- Here's one that I've never seen mentioned: is it just me, or is there an abnormally high amount of poserism in London? It's fucking posers everywhere, trying to show you how they know THE BEST place to eat THE BEST food and drink THE BEST wine. Who gives a shit? Is your life so uninteresting that you spend it thinking about food?"

I can see your other points - but this one seems kind of strange. I've not lived many places, but I'm pretty sure everywhere has people talking about the best restaurants, breweries, bars, etc. It's a part of culture - food and drink! It's a thing literally every human partakes in.

Beyond that - is your life so full of engagement and interest that you literally don't think about food? That just seems pretty exceptional to me. Not trying to judge - there's a reason that products like Soylent exist! Some people legitimately don't care, and I get that. But let other people enjoy whatever they want to - and try not to get upset if they share that with you (:

No, it's not full of engagement, I'm definitely not saying I have a nice life, at all. But I don't think about food, no. Very very uninteresting. And I can understand someone whose mentality is "you have to eat, might as well make it tasty". But some people it seems have nothing else in their life. And it's not just their food, it's also making sure that you know about their food. It can't be my imagination that people do this. You just need to look at instagram to see it's full of pictures that people take of their food. Ok, so maybe it's not specific to London, maybe it's just my bitterness.

Hah, I think I see where you're coming from. It's definitely universal - the people who have to put down what you're eating or doing because they did something SO MUCH BETTER last weekend or whatever.

Those people suck. People who pull out their phones to take a picture of their food rather than their company tend to be showing where their interest lies. Meh.
