Basta is avenatti's Twitter catchphrase. It means like 'stop/enough/shut up' in Italian.

To be fair to him, he stated it was merely if his fiancée did not want to keep the cat herself, whereupon she arrived in-thread and quite firmly asserted that no, she was keeping her cat.

It seems as though he's working through things, now, and has gotten a lot of support over the last couple days. So that's good. :)

People pay for cats? I thought cats just happened, like you're out walking and one walks up to you and demands to be fed, so you resign yourself to a few years of scooping poo poo out of a box and eating cat hair in your soup

There are cat breeds just like there are dog breeds. However most people that want a cat just look for a sign that says "free kittens" and take whichever one looks the cutest. That or adopt a stray like you're saying.

At the request of goons who created the Oversharing Goons Steam group and the Support Discord - I'm stickying this thread so that it gets more attention especially because it's winter and Christmas and that's a trying time to many people struggling with mental health issues. It's great that this thread turned into something positive.

At the same time - be helpful and constructive here. Not interested in the group and find it dumb? Cool, close the thread. No threadshitting here.

The thread's purpose is mainly to bring goons together and form supportive and empathic gaming communities.

Man, this is terrific.

I have two sets of stairs in my house. This is the lesser-used set that goes up to the garage from the basement.

On Thanksgiving, my father tripped on one of the treads going up.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9d3qCPcMgH4

I shined a flashlight down there and took a picture through the hole:

I'm the second owner of this house, and the original one is dead. The stairs are surrounded by concrete on to the left, right and behind, there's no secret door or anything. My current plan is to lift up more treads and maybe get a child to fit down there and retrieve the treasure, after which I will seal him under the stairs. Two of my idiot friends are coming over soon to help me, but it's unlikely they'll have any better ideas, so tell me how to get to this treasure trove.

Cross posting my response from that thread


100% serious post. One of my friends moved into an apartment with a setup like this when she got married, and the bottom half of the staircase retracted when you flipped a switch in the kitchen. When they bought the place, it was billed as a wine cellar, and they used it to store off-season stuff as they were both outdoorsy-types and it was nice to have a place in the apartment to store kayaks, camping gear, and the like. She and her husband were concerned about the fact that there was no apparent way to get out if you accidentally got locked in there, and I told them I would be glad to wire up a three-way switch so there was a way to get out in case someone accidentally got stuck.

If you're feeling a sense of dread, you exactly where this is going; (TW/CW for child abuse under the spoiler text) they looked up records on the property and the previous owner defaulted on the lease after being convicted on multiple counts of sexually assaulting minors (multiple victims, not multiple counts with one victim) and charges of kidnapping and false imprisonment.

This is horrifying and I have several questions.

Did... did the previous owner install that setup themselves, or did they get a contractor to build the secret prison cell? I can’t imagine that’s up to code so I’m guessing it was a DIY job, but even then it should have come up when they had the home inspected during the buying process, right?
