Oh, is that one of those little trailers of sorts to be attached to a bicycle, with seats for little children, or is it only for transporting items?

I once saw two children riding in one of those on a rainy day when I was grocery shopping, it looked really comfy and fun to ride for kids of that age.

Yes it is for two small kids, it even has security belts. I have done like maximum 15km ride with bicycle with my two kids in the bicycle cart, they really loved the 8km and back foodshop trip in countryside. In town we went like this to church many times on Sundays through the whole town, they especially enjoyed the bumpy ride on streets of old town but you need to be careful not to hit people.

Just brought them back with this from their camp in neighbor's yard, they received some rain in early morning but were super happy eating breakfast here together after the tent adventure.

-0,10€ in 34min (1€ in buyins). Crazy hand in 0,2€ DoN in the end on bubble where I folded JJ on bb vs limp and 3.6bb shove being 3bb deep, then limper folded to my surprise and i later lost the tournament. That really makes me question that fold but overall well played and happy that i put in the volume :D

That really does sound lovely, I wish we had had one of those when I was a kid. We did have some simple seats to be mounted above the back wheel, though.

Added +80€ to poker savings acc for a total of 350€ poker roll as PartyPoker has some really nice $0.33 tournaments running, also iPoker has some €0.33 SnGs sometimes possible. One step closer to the 2000€ poker roll dream!

Do you know any good social places/social platforms? I tried YouTube recently but people got really aggressive there, trying to bloat bigger entertainment businesses. Also many off my old friends have turned to aggressive politics... Making new friends anyone? :)

Included $0.33 MTT for the first time this year, +0,21€ + 0,50€ ticket from freeroll in 3 hours. I noticed there are way more games on the $0.50+ level.

That's pretty broad - what kind of interaction are you looking for?

I personally prefer to avoid social media as much as possible, but technically, this very forum is a social platform, even if it's not as active as it used to be. It's also limited to poker players, I assume you're looking for a more general audience? Again, it all depends on the connections you are trying to make.

What do you mean by people getting aggressive on YouTube?

I mean people commenting aggressive comments under my social videos and the option to reply is eliminated by the platform. That isn't very social.

Mostly like friendly communities, not aggressive competing. Can be forums, such as this one, or physical places to meet, such as bars, communities of businesses...

Can you not just delete ill-mannered comments?

My efforts were of social type... not so much creating TV channels and watching TV channels. Deleting chat would be the last thing I would want to do in these cases. But I will continue smaller, not going that big on free area platforms of other businesses. Still looking for better businesses which have better communities.

I think Vorpal was referring to deleting single comments that cross the line, not disabling the entire comment section. You seem to have a relatively small YouTube channel anyway? I would be surprised if outright "comment wars" were much of an issue, so it should be enough to remove the few trolls who misbehave.

Well, for poker, I'd say you're in the right place already. For everything else, there should be dedicated communities based on your interests too. Definitely online, at least, but you could also have a look at what's available locally, and maybe even explore new things if there are groups in your area for something you haven't tried yet, it can be a great way to make new connections.

Twitch can also be a good place, whether you would like to stream yourself or watch and interact with people you follow. I will definitely let you know once my own stream is set up - I know, I wanted to do it last year already, but these days, I'm happy if I end up playing at all, let alone streaming it.

Whatever you do, definitely stay away from TikTok. It's a silly place.

I've never had a TikTok account, but I've seen videos from there that others have posted.
Silly indeed.
Some though, had youtube channels as well.
I think that this girl is one — I follow her just to hear her speak.

Replace "shorts/" in the URL with "watch?v=" and it should work like any other video, which also allows you to embed it as usual. I have a browser extension that does this automatically.

And TikTok is so bad that I once downloaded another extension that would automatically close my tab whenever I (accidentally or otherwise) click on a link to a TikTok video. I consider this one obsolete by now, though, because I found another useful extension which can do the same, but which is also customizable for whatever page you set it up with. Even the redirects themselves are customizable, though auto-closing the tab is still an option.

That is extremely useful.
I often want to post youtube shorts in such threads as https://forums.pokerstrategy.com/forum/thread.php?threadid=48579&goto=firstnew

I loved TikTok until everyone started to talk how a nearby woman murdered her baby and how her trial and jail is progressing...

Never had a bigger Youtube channel in my life than currently, but same problem, everyone getting too aggressive. Both with videos and comments.

But YT and Tiktok can be avoided, my success doesnt depend on them, was a nice experiment that was also pretty profitable, especially Youtube.

Not sure if PokerStrategy forums would want those "amplified gifs" :D
