@caissad4 saidMaybe you should stream your chess games, like Alexandra Botez on Chess.com and Twitch.tv.
Last year I approved a friend request from a local International Master who emigrated from Central America and my number of Facebook friends subsequently went from 40 to almost 500 currently . I am now connected to chess clubs in South and North America , India , Eastern Europe and Africa . Western Europe is barely 1 or 2 for each country . No RHP people have expressed inter ...[text shortened]... PM me .
Of course anyone who friends me should know I am very , very political and vocal about it .

@shallow-blue said4chan is a wasteland. Granted, a very large wasteland, but still a wasteland.
I hardly could - I've never found it anything else to begin with. Give me usenet any day of the week.
Then again, it might just be that I have nothing to say that the likes of Goop, Tumbler and Fourchan want to read anyway.
It's everything Reddit wants to be.
The problem is people don't talk anymore they have their phone and are texting or doing something on it media related. I take my phone with me in case I need it. I enjoy talking with people and meeting new people. I believe I've mentioned this before but I've seen a young couple sitting on each side of a table and they were texting each other instead of talking to each other.....I thought it was so sad....I guess that is the way things are now though. 🙁

@suzianne saidWay to miss the point, suzi - tumblr is at least as much of a wasteland as 4chan is. Don't be blinded to the emptiness of the one and focus on the emptiness of the other, just because of the prevalence of genders there.

@caissad4 saidThank you for the offer and I would of accepted it, but I won’t as I don’t tolerate politics (apart from the occasional Trump mockery) to infiltrate my Facebook page and subsequently “real life”. Silly arguments with demented opponents at RHP is fine of course!

Peace and happiness in your “real lives” to all the good people here at RHP 🙂

@divegeester saidfacebook is important to my wife and me it allows free face to face contact with my daughter ,grandkids , brother and sister in law. it also allows contact with my son and family down south. I know its more than that.
Is anyone else finding social media increasingly boring? I’ve never used twitter or instagram and I find I’m using Facebook less and less in the last year or so.
I look at the content some of my younger relatives post and I’m honestly astounded, and sometimes even appalled. It’s obviously a generational thing but nevertheless...WTF!
What’s your thoughts on social media ?

The most interesting thing that I am in is the Mt Everest Chess Club . For real , they are up there near Mt Everest .
@shallow-blue saidYes, tumblr is at least as bad as 4chan.

No argument there.
@suzianne saidI pretty much do as I please within the rules of course. 😉
Just keep doing you, Rusty.
Gotta tell everyone how they should act.
No one cares what you think, Rusty.
What you should have said is "YOU" don't care what I think, not "NO ONE CARES"!
Do you understand the difference? 😉

@suzianne saidI don't even want to go that far - I'd leave out the "at least". Women aren't worse than men, but neither are they better. Unfortunately, current media trends do tend to claim that men are toxic and women are all victims. In my arrogant opinion, this is unfair on both men and women - not to mention those in between.
Yes, tumblr is at least as bad as 4chan.

Let's just agree that men and women are both idiots, and tumblr and 4chan are both equally worse (much worse!) than men and women in the real world.

@very-rusty saidYup. The difference is exactly one: your fragile ego.

@shallow-blue saidYou Sir, are starting to sound as silly as "Silly Goad" use to sound!

Fragile ego....LOL....You got to be nuts!
Try rubbing that brown off of the tip of your nose, Sir! 😉
