In the three months, Oct 9, 2021 - Jan 9, 2022, there has been ONE new member on DT.


It’s exclusive. Like how you get your own private casino right next to your penthouse hotel room. Except with none of the frills.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

I want to see a TV show where the Brady Bunch lives next to the Manson Family.

I am pretty isolated, I look forward to checking in here every day although I am not political and don't enjoy the animosity. Everybody here is probably pretty decent people and would have had a drink or two back before it all got like it is?

I was always pleased at how well the gay/strait folks were able to discuss differences of opinions without that being an issue.

I was raised in Vancouver [Hudson bay High school] before moving to AK., life has generally been mostly friendly.

I've said here how many times that one of the signature memories of my life was when I got my first color tv in 1970 when I was 21 years old. I was enthralled with that thing daily for at least 2 years because I got to see all the shows I'd been watching from the 1960s in color in reruns. And all the new shows of course were in color. I looked forward to every day. Of course I had seen color TV but really not that many people have them because they were prohibitively expensive. I paid $400 for mine and it was a 16" Zenith. $400 in 1970 translates into almost $3,000 in 2022. I could literally buy 30 15" flat screen TVs today for $3,000. $400 in 1970 was a huge amount of money.

The same thing has happened to me with YouTube. YouTube for me is the most wonderful thing to ever come out of the internet. When I watch media 95% of it is on YouTube. Cooking videos, hiking videos, adventure videos, history videos, New York City walking videos. YouTube even has a fantastic selection of free older movies far better than Netflix or prime. I subscribe to about 60 channels. YouTube has great weather forecast in channels, guys who make $200,000 a year doing in-depth weather forecasts. If I buy something new I always look at YouTube for the reviews and the unboxing and showing how it works. If I'm shopping for something I'll look to YouTube for the comparisons and the reviews. When I was in college I took library science as a secondary degree. I loved libraries and I wanted to be a librarian but it didn't pay worth a crap. YouTube is a gigantic worldwide video library and it makes my day everyday. I can't even imagine how this is going to change humanity going into the future with all this information available to everybody everywhere.

Most fun workouts in Occulus 2 VR
Thrill of the fight
Very realistic boxing simulation
I get so much exercise boxing and moving
3 rounds and I am worn out
Pistol whip
What a fun game. Kind of like John Wick
Just killing bad guys left and right
A lot of exercise as you are dodging and ducking left and right while aiming all around you.

I don't play enough video games, so have no idea if Pistol Whip is a common setup. I understand how it works now, but the stop action effect had me wondering how it worked at first.

I'm gonna try one of the boxing games as I've seen those recommended before. I believe there are more than one though.
