There's more to life than pressing a few buttons and stuff appearing at your door.




We should all touch grass inside the nearest big box electronics store.

Why would you touch grass if you need electronics? Are you high or just trolling?

I was specifically replying to the implication that driving to a big box store was indicative of a life better lived than someone arranging for a home delivery the next day with a total time commitment of under two minutes.

I'd rather be driving. I have a cool car. I love throwing it around the corner. I like it's premium sound system. I can see mountains and sea from where I live. I could even bike to the store. I'm fortunate to live near a micro center at biking distance. That would objectively be a life lived even better than sitting at home. At the store I can interact with a real human. I can experience new and interesting tech hands on. I can pick up fresh ingredients on my way back that I could make Greek salad with. There's honestly so many ways to make a trip to the store worthwhile.
