I'm aware that most relationships aren't going to last forever, but the friends I have online are notably less cohesive than the friends I used to work with.

I make no claims to reasonableness. We are not creatures of pure reason and our friendships are never totally rational. All I claim is that there's something which ties offline friends to me and I to them, particularly if we've worked together, which is not present for any of my online friend groups.
