Start at /b/ like everyone else
Move to /fit/ for a year, get /fit/
Move to /mu/, too busy listening to music all day, fall out of shape
>move to /a/, watch anime all day, gain 50lbs (fat)
>move to /lit/, read all day, gain another 10 lbs
>finally arrive at /out/, regret not being in good enough shape for serious hiking, working on that now

Be on /b on and off for years and years. Be into getting out and about over the last year or so. Usually go straight to /b as when I type '4' it links me straight there.

Decide to check out the home page 4chin.org and see there is out. Been contributing since. Currently hiding in bush /out while a spic is charged with murder, see name above.

Most of what I have learnt at this site relates to human character and what people really think when you strip back the mask.
/out/ is a nice addition on the side.

I am not on /pol/, im here in granolaville. Let's just play and get along. My opinions are fleeting, anyway. Its a foolish way to size people up, really... Actions are whats important.

Boom! I just summarized what appeals to me about /out/. Its not about talk, its ab/out/ action... Usually action of a positive/ constructive/ fun nature.

My abstract thought is just troubling to myself and my "audience", i just want to enjoy life, not lead the world.

I think I get what you're saying and I think that's why /out/ tends to be much less obnoxious than other boards. So many of them are just ideas without any real application, but pretty much anyone can come on /out/, get interested, and go do something based on that new interest.

I'm indifferent on the situation, but dont act like its a one way street dude. I've seen as much autism from both sides while on /out/. At least heres theres a good mix of opinions - unlike most other boards that are generally under-represented in either view

Maybe I'm just biased. But I haven't seen equal amounts of autism. Whenever somebody makes a /k/ related post people fly off the handle. I really have not seen it the other way around. They might call someone a hippy at most. Not a three paragraph rage.

Eh, maybe theres a slight bisaed that way I guess. It depends on how many /k/omandos are browsing /out/ at the time I think haha. But I've read a lot of the leftist rants - and they have at least been intelligent and reasonable in their points - most of the time. (often its not calling them monsters but just saying to not be a douche, kill ethically by using the meat or hunting overpopulated/ invasive species). I dont feel thats full autism - just a decent point.

There has still been a fair bit of "mah guns and freedom" vs "mah precious animal u monster" though. But I miss most of it because I hide the threads when they turn to drivel.

That's not even "leftist" (these days I think some conservatards would consider Teddy Roosevelt a leftist). It's simply not being an entitlement douchebag.

/k/ is off topic and has its own board, that's why people tell them to fuck off home.

Look i know this isn't politics, this is outdoors. But seriously, even if you think conservatives are gun toting rednecks, liberals just always either ignore the facts or have them wrong all together. This wouldn't be as bad if they didn't shout the fallacies and stick their fingers in their ears to muffle the truth.

Okay here is where it relates to this board:
It's the whole nanny state thing. It's okay if they don't like what I like. But don't try to police me. I have just as much right to spit tobacco juice on the ground as they do to burn sage.

But on second thought, I guess when they see one of those real loony conservatives they feel the same way. I guess the sane ones of us just don't really notice them. Maybe they just don't see the absurdity of their cohorts likewise.

Yeah, but policing needs to happen a lot of the time. Liberty is amazing but there are still boundaries.Its necessary in a lot of cases for protecting people and (imo) more importantly the /out/doors and their sustainability. I'm not saying its right in every case, but the anti-nannystate ranting about 'muh freedoms' is as bad as leftists shoving views down your throat. Opposing it where its not necessary (plain packaging of tobacco in Australia was a bit overboard) but thinking all boundaries, rules and regulations are stupid shows incredible ignorance.

>That's not even "leftist" (these days I think some conservatards would consider Teddy Roosevelt a leftist). It's simply not being an entitlement douchebag
This is pretty accurate. Thinking outside of your own immediate wants and needs and into the long term effects what what your actions brings is considered leftism - but really it should be considered common sense.
