It’s 2023, kids on his smoke break. It’s hard working two jobs while you’re putting yourself through preschool.

I'm genuinely sure that phones helped to kill the prevalence of smoking. Seriously.

Like, imagine you're waiting outside the cinema for your friends in pre-phone days. You can't just stand around doing nothing because you'll look like some sort of wierdo. But smoke a cigarette and suddenly you're someone with purpose.

Phones solve that same social anxiety need, to give you something to be doing when it would be awkward to look like you're doing nothing.
