hardcore sound gets you hypah

Y’know, I feel for you as a friend of his.

But it hurts that you just totally ignored the ways in which an admitted genius, a man I supported for over a decade, in the end showed how he had turned into a monster.

I mourned the death of who I thought Lowtax was a year ago. I mourn the pain he’s inflicted on the children he’s left behind now.

What happened to that caring, supportive father who literally shrugged off being pissed on? Why couldn’t he shoulder that burden for her now?

I agree that despite what many on the Internet say, SA was (and is) by far more a positive than a negative. I think the paid-forums, mods-free-to-ban-shitlords style is what kept these forums so much better than, say, reddit, even today. And I am sincerely, genuinely sorry you lost such a unique friend.

But let’s not pretend that, in the end, he was a good person who deep down was a caring father. A caring father would still be around for his kids.

enough about lowtax, what about the rest of the forums?

It's pretty relevant in discussing his legacy to suppose that maybe Lowtax was the quintessential goon because he was toxic, broken and abusive, just like many of the celebrators. Most of us have grown up, of course, that's what people do. It's just not so obvious where you see the same bullies doing the same things as fifteen years ago, just in a different arrangement. If calls for empathy and reflection (starting from myself) are a big problem for you, I luckily don't have much more to say :cheers:

We’re close friends, and he actually has been stressed af. He has PTSD with any sight of masks (which he is public about), which has completely shattered the possibility of getting a job. Working at home is not an option to him. And don’t say he’s making up excuses. I know very well these things are real to him. I highly suggest everyone donating to Ulillillia’s Patreon so that he can survive until this is all over. Whatever you think about him, just know he’s an extremely good person with high moral standards, and would never compromise this in the least. I find that’s hard to come by.

He made it clear to me his fears of driving back to ND, because he does not know how he’d eat at a restaurant, or enter a public bathroom without a mask.

Good.

I will promote the site in a community-first sort of way, but I'm certainly not going to do so in service to my own ego or clout. I'd rather just quietly make the site good and try and make jokes now and then, I don't need to be an internet star. This is easily the best website on the whole stupid internet and I can only hope to share that with more people as time marches on.

qft, many thanks jeff

i get what you're saying, and can see it, it's like blaming Einstein and Openhienmer for creating the a-bomb, when he just had the idea and his minions and followers carried it out, who is to blame?

the mastermind or the engineers that did the work?

the crew that dropped the bombs?

the generals that called for it?

it's normal to feel ~something~ when somebody dies

my grandfather was physically abusive to his daughters but they all felt something when he died, hell even ~guilt~ that THEY felt bad for mourning an abusive person.

mourning is hard.
