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, mister cowshit. I hope you find what you're looking for, or if not then help create it. I know we have a plenty of interest in history, economics, and possibly investing. I know there's at least a couple of us into hunting and fishing--at least me, anyway. And, so far, everybody seems to be into civil discussion.
I can't speak to ranching, though.
