Robot Hobo posted:"The Internet Makes You Stupid" wasn't just a tagline, it was prophecy. I mean, talking about Lowtax's actual contributions that weren't just riding the coattails of the community, that tagline is really the ethos of the modern era.

My dad died in a sudden accident when I was 8. It sucked, although I'm under no illusions about the fact that him and my mum were going through a toxic and unhealthy period so if he'd lived my childhood would have sucked in a different way. My sister has had two kids by two different dads, who are not coincidentally the only two people I've ever genuinely hated on this earth for the respective emotional and physical abuse they gave her. However the dad of the first kid seems to have genuinely changed, and now he's able to be a good dad to my nephew and a positive influence in his life. The dad of my younger nephew is dead from alcoholism, and that's absolutely good riddance because if he'd lived he would have hosed up everyone's lives even more. I guess my point here is its very difficult to speculate about the overall trajectory of Lowtax's life and the potential for reconciliation or positive contribution to his childrens'. His suicide draws a permanent line under all of that, that's the terrifying existential reality of death, but hopefully eventually his kids can appreciate the lives they have and not be too haunted by what could or should have been. If you're ever reading this, kids, at least know that thousands of idiots across the world having a space to debate your dad's legacy and poo poo on it if they desire is absolutely testament to that legacy. Either because or in spite of Lowtax we wouldn't be here without him so that's something, at least.

DamnitGannet posted:Remember when lowtax put a woman on blast for the crime of having miscarriages? I was an idiot pre teen when I laughed at that poo poo, lowtax was a grown rear end man, what was his excuse?? In addition to getting the wrong guy, it was more ‘irritation with the wallowing-in-despair porn of her publicly posting pictures of her dead baby’ than ‘screaming at her for her inability to carry a foetus to term’. Fortunately we have now grown enough as people to let others grieve in their own way.

Posting about putting people on ignore is always a pretty weird self-own but posting a screenshot to prove you have them on ignore is by far my favorite  Like by all means use the ignore function if it helps you not-engage with idiots, or don't, whatever, but posting about it is just the dumbest poo poo

Man, remember how Lowtax would constantly come in here and say the site was a financial drain and he couldn't afford hosting costs so it was maybe going to have to shut down, so goons flooded his Patreon with thousands of dollars. Then it turns out the hosting costs are like mid-four figures and the site easily makes enough money to cover it month to month from forums purchases.

Logging on for the first time in many years to say: gently caress you lowtax. I've donated $20 to the gofundme, it's the least I can do to atone for paying him for this account and wasting much of my youth in the process. https://www.gofundme.com/f/helping-a-friend-in-hiding
