How to make friends ... on forums like this (parts 1-2-3 of 9)
Talking in person with some my fellow expats, long-stay expats, many say they feel sort of lonely. Making friends with local ladies: easy. But finding and making friends with other expats: not easy at all. I aim to do something to fix that ... using the positive benefits of forums like this one. Not going to go into the problems of forums. That would go on forever. Instead just jump right in with positive solutions. How to make friends ... on a forum like this. I am a full-time expat in Thailand 20+ years. Over the years, made a some good friends on this forum. Not a lot, but some. And what is important is those were expats I would never have met any other way except here. Here's how I did it, and so can you. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #1. Private Messaging Don't try to have a decent conversation on the open forum. Won't happen: lots of reasons. Instead, do this: When you see a post of interest to you, send a private message (PM) to that poster. Sometimes called a direct message (DM). All worthwhile conversations start in PMs. None on the open, public forum. Yes, there can be worthwhile posts down in the threads on the open forum, but they are overwhelmed by all the garbage posts. And you will notice the more worthwhile an individual post is, the more garbage posts pile on. Don't bother trying to rise above the garbage, just send PMs. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #2. Platform Migration Move any PM conversation to email or LINE or Telegram or Signal, etc. My experience is if the other person is NOT willing to move the conversation to email, LINE, etc., then they are not interested, not willing to talk with you. If they won't go to email, LINE, etc., I simply say a polite goodbye. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #3. Email Security Use "burner" emails, not your real, personal email. Burner emails are free. They protect against spam, doxers, and other predators. In my experience, if someone is NOT willing to get and use a burner email, or some sort of private email service (such as Proton, Tutanota, Start Mail, Mailfence, Countermail), then that conversation is not worth continuing. I simply say goodbye and move on. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - To be continued. This is part 1-3 of 9. Topics 4-5-6 will cover selective reading, ignore users and starting topics. I welcome comments and critique. -

Donald Trump Jr. Alleges Biden’s Actions Could Trigger World War III Before Trump’s Return
They are not accepting it very well at all. Keep posting anti Trump BS like the last time. Bit sad, really. -

First Ukraine Missile Attack on Russian territory?
Yet another arrogant provocation to Putin. Is it so difficult to understand that Americans must take care of their territory between two oceans and not go to engineer other people's societies and minds?
