You're assuming that everyone would have a "packages office" within 5-10 minutes walking distance. While I'm sure that could be or already is the case for many people, there are lots of parts of the world where that simply would not work. Even in the US, the rural areas are spread out so much that everyone in those areas would likely need to drive, especially if they had larger packages. Large packages are also their own issue. Nobody wants to carry a huge box for a mile or more. You also have plenty of people who don't have the time or physical ability to do that. As much as I'm not a fan of Amazon, they really do seem to be operating (mostly) as efficiently as they can.

Personally, I don’t have many past relationships that I am interested in rekindling or maintaining. I have a small group of close friends, a larger group of not as close friends, and my family. Beyond that I have work acquaintances, but those are people you’re sort of forced to see and spend time with. We meet lots of people over the course of our lives. Some are there to stay, and others aren’t. Maybe you no longer have the same interests or worldviews. Maybe someone had a kid or got involved with a partner that took all of their attention. Are these people you genuinely want to reconnect with, or do you feel obligated to check in because of your history with them? In any case, it’s probably worth remembering that your brain can only handle so many relationships. In my case, I’ve found my relationship comfort zone and am very happy to have the people in my life that I do, and don’t feel a need to search for more.

The biggest change for me has been the way I play compared to 5-10 years ago. I used to engage in a way that was probably unhealthy. I wanted to play whatever my friends were playing, and whatever was popular. I wanted to play the way you’re “supposed” to play. Oftentimes this meant playing games I didn’t actually enjoy, or getting far too sweaty and frustrated at a competitive game. I didn’t have a good time playing those games, but I played them to be a “real gamer” or to connect with people. These days I’m playing what I want, when I feel like playing. If I feel like playing some COD, I’m going to do that even if everyone and their grandma talks about how bad of a game it is, because what matters is that I’m enjoying myself. I still play games with friends often, but I’m more careful to step away if I find myself getting salty. All of that said, I think the tide may be shifting a little, and more people seem to have a casual approach lately. There’s less “you gotta play on EXTREME NIGHTMARE IMPOSSIBLE difficulty, or you’re not really playing the game” than I remember in the communities. Enjoy the games you play. It’s an art form, not a torture method.

I agree that it depends on the definition. Honestly, I think that cars like the C63/E63 and BMW M5 fit the bill, especially pre - current era where every car must perform well on a racetrack. Big cars with big engines that go very fast and can fit your family. The original muscle cars were just sedans with big V8s in them.

These things are so cool and interesting. Is this your project?
