Does anyone here use meetme app?
Its a dating app/streaming service.

Anybody layed up at home you can make money streaming. Guess its like tic tok or twitch but more geared to meeting people in case anyone was bored.

With schools closed and kids on extended spring break, a lot of kids around in our neck of the woods have rediscovered arts and crafts projects in a big way. Doodling and play-doh projects have become a hit again. There are even free daily online doodling and play-doh projects on youtube.

A neighbor told me the bar owners are setting up virtual bars and that they’re streaming live bands.

No its regular streaming for gifts thats you can convert to cash or credits once you accumulate enough.
Some people do abuse TOS but its a decent app to maintain social interaction. Non sexually.

That's a good idea - just hope they figure out how to monetize it (Youtube has crazy policies around copyright infringement that make it really hard to monetize streams and videos with any kind of music).

Spent the day on XBox 360. NBA2k15 my career. 6'7 220 all around PG(19yo). Drafted 14th by the Suns...complained about Isiah Thomas and demanded a trade to the Knicks. They sent me to Washington. Got into with the GM and demanded a trade...to Knicks. They traded to me to the Lakers!!! Got into it with the GM...was in trade rumors...they kept me the rest of my rookie year. Managed to make 2nd all NBA Rookie team. Asked for trade to the Knicks to start year 2...and got it. Named starter immediately. After a 2-6 start before the trade....sitting at 14-8.

Holy starting 5!!

Me/Iman/Melo/Milsap/Dalembert

Calderon/JR/Bargs/Early are the main bench players!! Not even sure who else is on the team.

Better Call Saul was great tonight. Then I watched the replay of the Knicks-Pistons game trying to decide whether we'd be better off with Christian Wood or Julius Randle.

Since I've spent way more time indoors than normal, I've been working more on making my home smarter. Like an hour before each Knick game, the smart speakers in my house and my phone alerts me. Or if I'm watching TV or playing video games, all of the lights in the room turn off and the ambient lights turn on.

If your home was really smart, it would turn the Knick game off and alert you to watch something else

Westworld latest episode is mocking the Game of Thrones.
Are you fans of the team or the player?
