I've been watching Friends on Netflix. I'm now on season 9, having never watched it before. I've watched the other odd show here and there but none near as long as Friends. This all to say that your experiences may not extend

It usually happens much slower than pictured in the graph, and it is believed that humans are the cause for the acceleration. On the other hand it also isn't the end of the world as some people would have you believe.

The Swedish rape allegations were an obvious sham and have already been dropped years ago. Usually when this happens the case is just dropped, yet the UK really pressed in arresting Assange for "failing to appear in court", which
