I use a fake name on Facebook and Twitter. I actually disabled my fake Facebook account a few months ago. I deleted the one with my real name years ago. I still follow a couple of people on my fake Twitter account. My Twitter pseudonym is the name of a character from the 1984 film Electric Dreams. It's about a sordid love triangle involving a guy, a girl, and a sentient home computer. You would totally fucking love it. I don't think it was released on Region 1 DVD or Blu-Ray. I have it on Laserdisc. It was very hard to find. It was one of my Holy Grail physical media acquisitions.

In recent years, I've messed around with old school home computers and BBSs a little bit. The text-based kind they had in the 80s, before the Internet was opened to the general public. They were the forerunners to the Web and Web-based forums. I ordered my first shortwave radio receiver the other day. I always wanted one when I was a kid. The closest I got was a 40-channel CB receiver. It was cool, but not the same thing. You can't explain shit like that to the parents though. LOL
I think this board will be my new Internet home. It reminds me of the early days when everybody got along and you could talk about shit without it turning into an open hatefest. Sort of like what vid.me is doing with video communities now. I missed out on the beginning of YouTube. I went without Internet for close to 2 years at around the time it launched. Looking forward to seeing what gab.ai is like. It's cool how the Internet can reinvent itself when the corporations turn it into complete dogshit.
