Loneliness

[Buffy Summers]

Which year will see most of Louisiana cease to exist? Currently it is losing an area about the size football pitch each 45 minutes

Fact check: Verify: Louisiana is NOT losing a football field of land every hour

@Buffy Summers,
this is your fault, you brought it to my attention before, to keep track of the er informative crap I say.
I had been trying to find out about Australia's failings about the Pacific Islands Talks on Climate Change. Australia's Scott Morrison's and Liberal Party view seems to be throw lots of money to them but don't do anything to help them.
Anyway, and so I kept looking at what was happening around the globe, then I remembered about Louisiana so I went to
the ' HUFFPOST ' site to see what they said, the site states Louisiana is losing that amount of land in that time frame. (I have tried to put the site web address but it doesn't get printed) Type: Huffpost sea level rise n_5731916

I am getting a sense of irony from this thread. What is the usual reason people like BtVS and Ats? The interrelationships between the characters

Or one girl alone in the world. Who lives with the burden of an unsought disconnect from friends and family, but still does her best and kicks arse.

With the rise of the internet and technology, I see loneliness becoming less of a problem in the future. There is always someone to chat to online. Always something to do if you want to. Distraction is made easy online. Bots teach behavioral therapies and offer sex and mental health support. We won't be far off robot cleaners and carers for the elderly. Streaming services make it effortless to fully immerse yourself in another world. Writers are using psychological tricks to get people sucked in to the characters reflecting their viewers instead of simply being stories to watch from a-far. Interactive TV has started. Candy crush amuses 70 year olds for hours on end, even if their hubby is sitting right next to them.

Away from tech, designer pets are more human than ever. Many find companionship in clubs and organised events, which are also at an all time high. Most of the western world have a very high disposable income and can basically do whatever they like in retirement. Travel is heavily encouraged (If I was a rich one I would start a death cruise business, screw the loopholes of voluntary euthanasia, just go on a final cruise and jump off when you're done with life 😉 )

With the computer literate generation, spare money, high level of education and millions going into community building projects, I believe loneliness won't be the most pressing issue of our future.

Interesting when you consider the article I post a while back talking about millennials not going out to drink. Maybe if they drank more they'd have more friends.

Or just going out at all without your head buried in your phone.
