I need somewhere to hang out online in addition to DU. DU is good but sometimes when

[raccoon]

I have some time on my hands, I need somewhere else to hang out.

Where else do yall hang out online?

[MissMillie]

1. npr

www.npr.org

[antiquie]

2. Can't say on DU.

I'd be called a firebagger or a hamsherite.

3. spotify and/or finding live music videos on YouTube and/or All Records Guide

I just daydream - you can easily get lost down memory lane looking for music from the past or hearing current stuff...

[Scuba]

27. "... looking for music ..." You must have most excellent eyes!

4. I add stuff to my photobucket.

Usually I hang around here.

Years ago I spent time on BON. We've recently moved so I don't have the extra time now.

5. I used to hang out at special interest forums.

Gardening, cooking, beekeeping. Don't really do that now. I joined a cycling forum recently, it's a little slow but nice people.

6. I've been spending time doing Pinterest also.

Going out and seeing what my friends post on there leads me down way different internet paths than I find on my own. Kinda fun (and informative) time-killer if that's what you're looking for.

7. Twitter

Hi,
I have both Twitter and DU running when I'm at home or when I have a bit of slow time at work. I will have to check out some of the other suggestions listed by other posts here.

Peace

8. I'm fond of Something Awful

They have a poor reputation for mass trolling/griefing in online games and other forums, (though they've cut back on this a lot in the last couple of years) but their own forums are very well moderated, and have interesting and informed discussions on a wide variety of topics, and they have a lot of very funny and creative posters. There isn't an enforced political orthodoxy like there is here, but the prevailing political slant is liberal/progressive (from a mostly Gen-X and younger perspective rather than the Boomer perspective that prevails here).

9. Here:

10. Reading fiction by written by certain favorite writers, usually flip between DU and them.

I spend all of my time reading, but used to do a lot of youtube and networked with people there.

That's it. DU is my news source and I get more to read from the links here.

[PufPuf23]

19. Could you share authors?

[freshwest]

23. They're all under pen names and specialized. They are entertainment. Not current.

Since they are somewhat of my private diversion, I don't really feel like sharing. Maybe I should'nt have said anything.

11. fundies say the darndest things...

[LeftofObama]

17. Speaking of postsecret.com

Is there a website where you can read previous secrets written there? I've found if I forgot to read this weeks posts and then the new ones get posted I'm out of luck concerning the previous weeks posts. I haven't found an archives link or anything like that.

[sagetea]

21. If you go into the forums there will be a

notice there, I believe, I haven't missed a Sunday there since fire season, so things may have changed?

12. I like facebook...

For me, it's a great cross-section of my family, my poetry friends and my DU friends...

I often bounce back and forth between the two!

[dixiegrrrrl]

14. Be more specific....

You want funny stuff to do
or
serious reading to do
or
mindless games
or
chat sites
or??????????????

Having said that, I found a LOT of full length movies, docs, medium size clips on You Tube
right now I am going thru The Actors Studio interviews, via You Tube, since I can copy them with download helper
and I also like Charlie Rose interviews
and some C span..

I am pretty much into "serious" factual stuff.
Plus, via the free app "Calibre" I can read books on the puter, I like the abilit to adjust the font size.

15. I'll take mindless games for 100$ Alex

Hi,
Can you give me some game sites you like please?

Peace

[dixiegrrrrl]

16. I like this site

http://www.gamehouse.com/

is not a shoot 'em up type site..
has lots of good word games

[raccoon]

24. I was thinking of a site similar to DU with some good discussions, about RL stuff.

I mean like RL practical info.

Or good computer info forums, for regular people.


(I too like to look at Youtube-at old rock videos--when I can listen to the music.)

31. On youtube watching the seemingly endless supply of old horror movies

made for tv or theaters. I'm a big horror fan. I also read horror fiction online. Otherwise, I practice my guitar or violin in my free time.

Here's a film I watched 2 days ago:
