To be fair, typically in America (outside of major cities and certain planned neighborhoods), 4 minutes away implies by car. Even if driving only 20mph (unlikely), the pizza shop would be a minimum 1.3 miles away, which would be more like a 30+ minute walk for a pizza.
On top of that, there’s almost no safe walking paths by design. You would likely have to traverse major roads with no sidewalks, crosswalks, or even pedestrian stop lights.
It’s an unfortunate design that many are stuck with.
It doesn’t occur to most Americans to walk a bit instead of drive.
This is exacerbated by the design of American neighborhoods that discourages walking and encourages driving, which of course becomes a feedback loop where Americans don’t walk because their neighborhoods aren’t designed for it - or worse - designed against it.
Yeah, man. The people surviving the horrors are definitely fully to blame for their survival choices related to said horrors, and not the fuckers responsible for said horrors. You got a good eye on you. You’re middle management material if I’ve ever seen it
Your anecdote doesn’t change anything I said, nor my opinion.
If anything you biased me against what you’re trying to push with your lazy writing style, which is ironic given you criticize what you see as laziness in others.
It was cheaper and faster to doordash a restaurant quite literally across the street in college, I tested it a few times when my friends would go to buy food there and mine would come like 10 minutes before they got back. Literally across the street, like a 1 minute walk max.

Ordering a personal taxi for your food instead of walking a few blocks is peak American.

Unironically, yes.

what’s peak American is the fact you think you are better than the delivery driver.

That sounds like the before days. These days, they profit the fuck out of us. Kids in college now know no different. Fuck these types of businesses
