This is a good time to share this poem with everyone:
I saw them tearing a building down. A team of men in my hometown. With a heave and a ho and a yes yes yell, they swung a beam and a sidewall fell.
And I said to the foreman, "Are these men skilled?" "Like the ones you'd use if you had to build?"
And he laughed and said, "Oh no, indeed... the most common labor is all I need... for I can destroy in a day or two what takes a builder ten years to do."
So I thought to myself as I went on my way...
Which one of these roles am I willing to play?
Am I one who is tearing down as I carelessly make my way around? Or am I one who builds with care, in order to make the world a little better... because I was there?

No one likes seeing their country destroyed. No one likes seeing their culture destroyed. No one likes seeing that which they've worked for destroyed.
This principle also applies to Voat.
Each of us is either a builder or a destroyer.
Choose your side, because I've chosen mine. Voat will support those who build.
Interpret this post however you'd like, because at it's root it is truth, but I'm posting this for those of us that need a reminder from time to time.

I understand. I shall get to making thousands of half-baked subs immediately.

I’m working on a new one right now. I think it’s going to piss people off. I believe that means I’m over the target.

Interesting. I started one a few days back as well. Not ready though. It involves one of my other great interests. It might surprise you. European Myths and Folklore. Obscure stuff like the time St. Patrick cursed a village to become werewolves. Lol.

That sounds really awesome. I will check it out in the near future. I was on a kick of reading old classic tales (I found online) out loud, but we haven’t been doing those readings lately.
I’m still working on refining the concept, but some details of what I’m looking to create are here: https://voat.co/v/GreatAwakening/3223393/18673142?context=10
Input/criticism welcome!
