Hey Nate, glad to see another new face escape from the ever sinking ship that is Reddit :D

I cannot support a site that purports to be the front page of the internet and then censors its material instead of allowing the users to determine content.

It's the equivalent of my telling my son to go into a Candy store, pick out ANNNNy candy he wants... and then when he gets inside there, "No twinkies, twizzlers or milky ways though!"

But I wish I would have come here sooner. The people seem to be much more the type of individuals I enjoy discussing without having so many trolls. I'm sure that will change as more head this way, but for now it's really nice!

Welcome to Voat! You could try out /v/gaming, /v/games, and /v/pcgaming if that's you're thing.

I think I'm already part of 2 of those, I'll check out the last one right now! Thanks.

I am pretty ubiquitous with my enjoyment. If people are having fun, I tend to have fun too.

What's life for, if not to have fun. :)

Welcome. I only got to spend a year and a half as a stay at home dad, but I loved every minute of it. When it came time to get back into the workforce, I found myself passing up jobs in my field of game design for jobs that would allow me to maximize time with my son...like teaching and consulting. Time spent with your children is time you'll never be able to get back. You're one of the lucky ones.

Glad to have you with us. If you're looking for a fantasy foot league to join (the worst aspect for me of being a stay at home dad is the lack of coworkers to talk football with) /v/goatffl just launched and is signing up players. Oh, and great pick for a hockey team to root for. The Hawks are one of my favorite teams in the past decade.

Nice thing about Voat is that people are free to express their opinions. No matter what ones politics are, you can speak without fear of being smothered by the echo chamber. All are welcomed and...wait a minute! You just dissed Merle Haggard?! Forget that peace and love nonsense. Them's fighting words.

Lol... Merle Haggard's the country equivalent of an vuvuzela. Like I can tolerate almost any singer from Garth to Chesney and even Shania Twain but I will listen to Justin Bieber's "Baby" song on repeat, I'll put in an entire Yanni album just to not have to listen to old Merle.

Thanks for the info about everything else, with Merle? I think we're going to have to agree to disagree here. Or we could do perhaps a virtual arm wrestling contest??? tosses elbow onto the table!

We can arm 'rassle all right, but I warn you. Willie and Merle are going to be signing about smoking pot on the jukebox in the background.
