Oddbean new post about login | logout @bb052609 I wonder if “Friend” is heading this way too Not only thanks to the button on social media But now we know people on social media as our friends, who we have never met, but we may discuss them in real life as if we know them Are they our friends? How else do we refer to them without using more complicated language like, “this person I know only from Instagram”
@8c6de73f There have definitely been times when I've debated whether to call someone I only know from online as a "friend."
