The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsI need somewhere to hang out online in addition to DU. DU is good but sometimes when
I have some time on my hands, I need somewhere else to hang out.

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

(11,924 posts)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.

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.

(4,138 posts)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).

(53,661 posts)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.

(4,243 posts)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.

I often bounce back and forth between the two!

or
serious reading to do
or
mindless games
or
chat sites

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.
