It's one of the downsides of the internet (one of the less actually terrible downsides anyway). Meet cool people! (oh by the way those people are 15 hours of travel away)
Listen, I love to be in my car so “within driving distance” means like 8 hours if I can stay overnight. But that’s not exactly doable for, like, hey let’s grab a drink or go bowling after work.
The internet giveth (friends! Yay!), the internet taketh away (hundreds/thousands of miles away! Boo!)
I'm old. In my 20s and early 30s we lived 15 mins away from most friends. But they were having parties weekly and it burned us out. Now, if you want me to visit, you have to live on my street.
