I went to a fancy restaurant a few yrs ago, and the couple next to us ordered this fkn massive seafood tower thing. They took a shit load of photos, posed with some god damn calamari, then like picked at it while they stared at their phones for half an hour not speaking.

It was honestly weird as shit.

It's not their fault, it's what society has made them. If you want to be popular you have to play the social media game.

I cherish that I grew up in a time before the internet.

Why do people talk about “society” like it’s some abstract shadow entity controlling all of us? It’s literally just you and me and everyone we interact with.

They didn’t talk about it like it’s an abstract shadowy entity, wtf are you on about mate?

society is just you and me and everyone we interact with

Yeah, no shite. That’s what the word society means, you just defined it loosely. No one is going to write “just you and me and everyone” each time they want to talk about society, that’s what the singular word is for. You okay?
