"The owners of West Portal dive bar Philosopher’s Club enforce a strict no-laptop use policy, saying that an adherence to screens “defeats the purpose of being in a bar.” Similarly, they’ll cock a brow at you if you spend too much time messing with a tablet or phone. Look, no one said you had to talk to anyone, but wouldn’t you feel better if you made just a little bit of IRL human contact?" - Eve Batey
