what do you use the internet for besides poker and porn?
im embarassed to admit that all i really use my pc for is playing poker and looking at porn.
i like the fact that i can earn more than my last job without leaving the house. I like the fact that there is so much porn on the net. However, there are times when i feel i am abusing the ulitmate resource that the internet has become. I tried to think of other things I could use the internet for and im embarassed to say i drew a complete blank. It really is an untapped resource for me. I play poker, read a couple of poker forums and look at porn. That is pretty much it. What are some interesting things i could/should do on the net? what do you do? |

Re: what do you use the internet for besides poker and porn?
Reading any and all news
Reading any and all history Reading wikipedia Reading other resources that make me smarter and better able to have a conversation with anyone about anything. People I know ask me how I seem to be able to hold an intelligent conversation about any topic that comes up, from the Russian presidential elections to why Larry Brown is a terrible coach for the Knicks to how and why Antony's (of Antony and Cleopatra (who was actually Ptolemaic, not Egyptian)) original children were removed from nobility and then reinstated. It's because I have a ton of downtime at work (and also I usually surf while I watch tv instead of watching tv exclusively or playing poker exclusively) and seek out as much as possible on the internet to make me smarter. Just go to wikipedia and start following links. When you get stuck hit random until you get something interesting and then follow more interesting sounding links from each page. You will learn an insane amount. |
