How much mouth semen is considered enough to be an acceptable memorial for a recently deceased loved one?

A good memorial should have enough people to cover for those that are too broken up to get hard.

I also feel pretty icky that how it all went down very probably had something to do with his death. He wasn't great..I get it. But I wish we could take a lesson about how we did dog pile the poo poo out of him and maybe could have done better.

nope, if someone fucks up that mistake defines them forever and everyone is entitled to heap scorn on them and be as nasty as they like

realizing flawed people are not human and opening the floodgates to your ugliest impulses towards them is a cornerstone of mental health and self love

You haven’t aged since 2001 and I’m scurred. Have you considered making songs about things like eating breakfast at McDonalds? Can’t believe you are still alive and somehow immortal. Are you a highlander? Are you going to Tax’s funeral to represent the interwebs?

Fail is kinda mean. Some are here to give a nice deceased person a proper eulogy and share the ways this noble fish touched their hearts. I say we offer Screamy to the sacred flame and play Amon Amarth. Odin would be proud. We will never forget you Screamy!

You typically refer to a fruit by the name of the tree. You don't go around talking about apple fruit.

For me, nothing of value was lost. I can't mourn someone who killed himself in an act of vengeance against his own family, no matter what good he may have started out with.

But I can extend my sympathy to those he left behind, because grief is hard, especially if you have to grieve over a bastard like that, the callous stupidity of an act that you can never get over, the answers that will never come, the anger you can only vent at the air because he took that away from you and the love and the loss that will swing you back and forth across this grief for years.

I have lost far better people than Lowtax to suicide and death and my sadness and anger still swings me back and forth for them too. I hope his children take solace in knowing he can never hurt or use them against their mothers again, they are their own selves and not because of him and do not have to shoulder any legacy of his.

And speaking of legacies, Lowtax started this website, but SA grew far beyond him years ago and he was figuratively already dead by the time he signed it away. We are the lucky ones, we get to be free, but his family do not, remember that.

Everyone I hang out with is too nice tbh. Sometimes I crave being told I'm boring. It's a nice change of pace. Makes me feel like I can trust you.

SA's cool and good these days at least in part cuz the people here are generally nice (well in most of the forums anyway) but also not afraid to call you out if something you say is dumb bullshit, yeah

no lowtax definitely had a lot of self improvement to do

i was more getting at this need some people have to perceive the community or its founder as all good or all bad, by focusing on examples of terrible things each has done

it doesn't cancel out the wonderful things the community and its founder have also done. i don't think its healthy to look at the world in black and white. you can be nostalgic for things you loved about old SA without also thinking slurs are funny, for example

speaking of weird exotic fruit i found some rambutans in a walmart once. no idea how that happened. what chain of events led to those things ending up in the walmart fruit aisle.

my favorite band when i was an obstreperous teen was called Curve. they had an album cover that was a macro shot of a rambutan.



thanks for listening to my TED talk. rest in piss lowtax.

yes i get it. but if we supposedly believe people can improve themselves then in the context of a human life that is indeed a mistake, right? like, why do we tell people to go to therapy or seek help if we think that when they gently caress up or are hosed up that just means they're totally hosed?
