It goes without saying that we all have screen addictions these days, but something that is harder to admit is how many of us also have a meme dependency. There are stages to this: it starts with sending our friends a few funny images here and there, and before we know it the whole thing escalates into being unable to have a conversation without making some of the dumbest references imaginable. It's a slippery slope, and one that many of us have accidentally found ourselves down over the years. Once we get past a certain point, it makes sense to keep on going. Being a meme connoisseur might be a useless skill, but at least it's usually a fun one. Not everybody has the knowledge to make these kinds of judgments. That said, we might get to a point when it starts to look that way. For now, though, bask in the privilege.
