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.
Welcome. You got here at the right time.
We're in the start of what we will later refer to as 'the good old days', and haven't yet entered the 'eternal September'.
The 'its all gone to shit' phase isn't even in sight yet.
