I’ve never used those apps myself, but I think a factor is, how do you meet other people when you start working most of the day? Most of my friends who use dating apps, do so because meeting someone at the job is unrealistic, and in some fields, super dumb. So instead they’d have to hope to meet someone at an event or something, but after working a full week, they don’t want to go to events all over the city in the hope that they meet someone, especially not when datings apps are so readily available and easy to use.

I’m not sure when the shift happened, but I had many friends using dating apps mid 2010’s when they started working after highschool, for lack of a better option.

Fucking finally! It’s been like forever at this point!

I’m just imagining them filling up Grand Canyon just because.

I don’t disagree with that, and I think it’s a horrible situation it’s putting everyone in, obviously by far the most horrible situation for the people whose home is going to become inhabitable. But realistically, Europe would have to take in too many people. The current population of Northern Africa is roughly 275 million, and the population of the Middle East 500 million. Europe currently has about 742 million people. Doubling that in refugees won’t just change our way of life. Society would collapse. Sure, a bunch could go to Asia, but they’re already seeing a noticable increase in weather related catastrophes. So I’m not seeing that as a real posibility.

As a socialist from Denmark, what convinced me to stop supporting immigration was the realization that we’re going to see an overwhelming increase in immigration due to climate change, because enormous parts of northern Africa and the Middle East will become uninhabitable. The increase in climate refugees coupled with our absolutely appaling integration policies, made by right-wing parties over the last 30 years, has convinced me we will absolutely fail misserably if we don’t stop.

My politicians are simply too inept to be able to handle it, and it will destroy my country in the process.
