The Substitutability of Physical and Social Warmth in Daily Life (2013)

This is pretty much why, even though HN has better discussion quality than most websites, I’m leaving.

I guess this isn’t super related to the article but from my experiences here on HN, even if conversations are not outright trolling or insulting, the warmth just isn’t there.

The style of argument isn’t horrible but it’s also not as constructive as it would be if it were amongst in-person friends who knew and cared about each other.

It’s been great. All the best. Bye!

Don't leave. Take a long warm bath/shower and come back!

Your own comment history is pretty negative and not particularly warm.

I'll agree with the other post here...where is the warmth in your own comment history?
