Which is actual outsider art expressing the actual zeitgeist of the era and had to be destroyed

Maybe it's part of the art and it's still going and they're making a statement about coverups, and it will keep going in that corner for many more steps to keep us entertained forever

Honestly that'd be pretty great if the whole thing was just a snowball of an art project

I think it's something like this:
Poster's bud was in a car accident, he and his g/f had minor injuries. They don't have insurance. I think the cops were trying to say he was drunk and fled the scene which apparently was not the case. He didn't have money for the hospital bill or to get legal representation so CSPAM helped out a bit.

And the happy resolution was that he didn't get charged with anything and the goon donations have helped get him back on his feet.

The happy is at the top of the subforum!

quote:

Thank you all for bringing these matters to our attention, and for weighing in. Your perspective is valuable and we take every post under consideration. There is a lot of turmoil on the forums right now, in QCS, in the mod forum, and in the various subforums. We are here, we are listening, and we are working together to better our community.

FYAD got pretty hosed up and we’re looking to course correct. I want to make it absolutely clear that bigotry, of any and all kinds, isn’t welcome here on the forums, anywhere.

We’ve done a lot of housecleaning there over the last two days, and of course will have more to do as time marches on. Further, we’ve removed the old FYAD mod and will be taking a different approach to how the forum is moderated.

In the past, FYAD existed on a kind of island, isolated from the rest of the mods and the forums at large. We had hoped that they would self govern and stay within the general culture of the broader forums, but that didn’t happen, and it got really out of hand. We won’t let that happen again. New FYAD moderation will be an honest part of the mod team, and we will work together to make sure that even the “gross pics and flame wars” forum stays current with the rest of the forums culture.

FYAD is a big part of SA history, and Lowtax doesn't want that to go away. FYAD will, however, be reformed into something that adheres to the original mission of the forum, while not allowing toxicity and hate to brew within its walls.

We’re all goons, and we’re all here because we love posting on the best drat forums online. Lets work together and thrive.

Worth pointing out that the FYAD thread was actively lurking a bunch of other threads where trans folks were sharing experiences and "ironically" making GBS threads on them in their little bigorty circlejerk between "ironically" sharing antitrans pseudoscience about how trans people don't really exist. The mod that ate the permaban was happily participating.

After getting called out on it, they all flooded QCS to tell the trans folks that they just didn't get it, that it was okay because it was "funny", that it wasn't a big deal, and that they're all totally not bigots for posting and/or defending bigotry.

They're now all eating bans and long probes. It's legit good to see happening.

After Five Years of Drought, Kenyan Region Finally Gets Clean Water Thanks to Solar-Powered Saltwater Plant

quote:

For the last five years, this Kenyan region has been suffering from debilitating drought—but they have finally been given the gift of clean water thanks to a new solar-powered desalination plant.

Prior to the plant’s launch in the town of Kiunga, villagers had completely run out of clean drinking water and had instead resorted to using dirty well-water and saltwater from the Indian Ocean.

Now, the solar water farm produces enough clean drinking water for more than 35,000 people every day. Not only that, the water has been shown to be even cleaner than typical desalination plants.
