  • As a US citizen I think we forget how much of our shit gets out.

    I’m always surprised when I go abroad and people are up to date with somewhat niche US info. I was in Hong Kong and some local dude made a reference to the fatass NJ gov who was chilling on the closed beach during lockdowns.

    I do feel like I see far more people complaining about US people making assumptions than I do US people assuming. When I’m replying to someone I don’t put any thought into where they’re from unless they drop a context clue.









  • You can buy like $50 kits or go on Craigslist and look for someone selling their impulse bought gear.

    Add in a license fee and even then it’s not too bad for time killing hobby.

    I think when I first got into it I was put off thinking I’d need like the finest $3k in orvis gear and I’d need to buy $10 flies at my local shops.

    Like there’s a weird bougie-classist feeling I think a lot of people have which turns them off of trying to get into the sport.
