    The improper usage of double quotes is reprehensible. There isn’t even an ending mark for the quotation.

    “Touch grass” and “rent free” are the most overused phrases on the internet. Rent Free always gives me the impression that the user has recently been the victim of the phrase themself, and have now started throwing it around at others at every possible opportunity.

    Today on the train-ride into work there was a group of what looked to be men in their mid 50s joking about who in their friend group was “alpha”, “beta” or “sigma”. I think that if, at this point in history, even a near-retirement age group of commuters is using the lingo then internet culture is just culture.

    I did have to resist the urge to tell them to touch grass.

    In conclusion, putting the internet on everyone’s phones was a huge mistake and we should go back to the way it was in the before-times.

    sounds like someone told Socrates to touch grass and he got butthurt about it.
