My name is cowshit, and I'm a long-time lurker looking for redemption. Please clap.
Anyways, I've always lurked on various forums for years, but have never found a place that I felt compelled to contribute to. I like the vibe here, and I have high hopes that this platform can provide a civil place to discuss a wide variety of interests and ideas.
Like many I watched /r/all devolve into a tremendous pile of shit. The same thing happened to voat, both have become hyper-focused on a narrow range of views and ideas.
In the gin-soaked words of F. Scott Fitzgerald:
"The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function."
I enjoy history, literature, economics, investing, cattle ranching, good horses, hunting, fishing, and civil discussions with people that I disagree with.
Well, I've not been able to get into hunting beyond deer--we have plenty of them up this way.
I fish mostly, in-land freshwater because I'm 200-300 miles from saltwater. Bass, walleye, and catfish by boat--and anything else we can catch. Mostly drifting and trolling.
