Rochester, NY – With several areas of Rochester still without power, new relationships are being put to their ultimate test: holding each other’s attention using something pre-millennials call “conversation.”

“Usually when he is talking I can turn on my iPad or phone and just pretend to care while looking at dank memes” says Danielle Trego of Greece, “now we just have these uncomfortable moments where we are looking at each other and have nothing to say.”

“No WiFi has been especially tough on us” says her boyfriend, David Mueller, “usually the best times in our relationship are when we’re scrolling through each other’s social media feeds, and she nudges me to show me how fat someone looks now. Those were the good ol’ days.”
