I was hooked to Snapchat when I saw the live story of hikers from mountain Everest, it was incredible following their journey. It was live, it was intimate and it was from their point of view, I loved every moment of that story.
Now I follow my friends' s stories, send each other silly messages and so on.

james_niro | 9 years ago | on: What should you think about when using Facebook?
Going on two years without Facebook. At first I thought it will be hard to stay in touch with friend but it is the opposite, I get to hangout more often with my friends, our conversations are more intimate, we genuinely want to know what happened since we last saw each other. As far as news goes I subscribed to news paper, have dozen email subscriptions which delivers it to my inbox every morning.
I started making photo albums again and putting my pictures in there whenever friends come over I get to show it to them.
As far as cat videos goes I get to watch them on YouTube
To be honest it has been the most productive time of my life since I deactivated Facebook and my friendship has become stronger
Moral of the story yes you an live without Facebook
james_niro | 9 years ago | on: Ask HN: How can I help people defeat depression?
You can't just treat depression with games etc, for people that are depressed and fall into depression it goes way deeper than you think. Whenever, I have into depression I block all the negative news, I watch funny ideas, comedy , hanging out with friends, family, my little nephew and my dog. Also, coding and doing math helps me a lot. However, hanging out with my little nephew give me back that purpose to continue and work hard so I can make his life better
