  • You do realize that the scale of that graph on your source is not at all linear? We see rapid changes in temperature over the last 150 years. That timescale is nothing compared to the millions of years it usually takes for a +2 degrees change in climate.
    We also know exactly how CO2, Methane and other gasses cause our planet to heat up. That mechanism has been a proven fact for many many decades now and it’s easily verifiable.

    Today’s humans (homo sapien) have existed for about 200000 years, about 10000 years of that we started to settle down in towns and villages. All that time, changes in climate were slow and not intense. Only 200-150 years ago we started to produce climate gas on a big scale and suddenly, temperatures explode. What is happening right now is clearly not a natural cycle. It is entirely caused by human action.








  • That last paragraph speaks true to me. I’m not the kind of person to make a move. But with online dating, there is always romantic context.

    “I’ve been seeing this person from the dating app for a few weeks now and I’m really attracted, we always have a great time, maybe I should ask if they’d like to kiss” is a lot easier than initiating intimacy without that context.


  • Dating apps are quite horrible, but I would have never met my girlfriend without them. We are both very shy and agree that even if we had met by chance, nobody would have ever made a move.

    None of my women friends are romantically interesting to me and I’m not the kind of person who meets a lot of new people. I’m very happy with my small circle of friends and neither my job nor my hobbies expose me to new people.

    A dating app helped me to work around that. I was very lucky though and the first person I met with turned out to be the perfect match for me.
