Call it semantics if you want, but I'd like to clear something up.

Many of you are asking how the "mistake" was "fixed", or some variant. The short version is: there was no mistake to fix.

Now I will preface by saying that I was very naive in my understanding of joist physics and the potential dangers I imparted upon my home by cutting them. Although much of the feedback from this forum was not constructive in the least, I won't deny that without the concern of many of you, my project might have had a much less safe ending for me or my future home buyers. So for that, I thank you.

That being said, unless my rudimentary understanding of science is completely flawed, if you want to put something in the ground, you have to dig a hole. As far as I know, there's no way around that. If, in the process of digging that hole I happen to break a gas line, well, that's a mistake that needs to be fixed. But alas, no gas lines were broken.

My design called for a sunken bathtub and that's what I got. Whether it was me or the contractor, those joists were getting cut regardless, so really I just saved them some time (naively).

You can all rest assured that my design was executed appropriately by a licensed contractor, who worked with a structural engineer to develop a solution to fit my goal. The city inspector then came by and signed off on it.

The joists are still just as cut as they were a year ago.

Pretty sure someone could post detailed plans for some straight up treasonous JFK reenactment to GBS frontpage and it'd still get lost in the anti Trump noise on the rest of the internet. But in case it's not lost in the noise I'm not advocating any treasonous poo poo here Mr CIA/FBI person and keep up the good job investigating actual treasonous people like POTUS and the gang.

Not really a goon saga but an excellent read nonetheless.

Voidburger herself was involved in another SA saga when she, I believe, flounced out of the site after falling out with Lowtax on Twitter over the Shmorky thing. If anyone wants to so a write-up of that they're welcome, it's just that for me spending more than 10 seconds thinking about Shmorky gives me brain spasms.

So it's undisputed that people are using Bitcoin to buy drugs on the Dark Web, but it's implausible that people buying child porn on the Dark Web wouldn't use that same form of payment?

Are pedophiles repelled by the glowing virtue of Bitcoin? Or why would CP enthusiasts *reject* something as brilliant as Bitcoin and instead use filthy fiat?

Just go ahead and post the name of the dark net market that allows child porn. I'll wait.

E: if a market was sick and stupid enough to do this there would be a huge boycott. Drug users are, for the most part, decent human beings.

Also in third world countries with human trafficking of children for sex I guarantee they are using either the local currency or US dollars which are used all around the world.

I'm not an idiot though so I won't claim using US dollars aids pedophiles.

Close. She didn't flounce, she was straight banned after she criticized the 'Tax for the way he was encouraging his daughter to deal with the information Shmorkygate brought to light.
The far ruder and more deserving Psychedelic Eyeball also got banned for twitter flaming. The two popular Let's Play presences getting banned resulted in a big exodus of a large percentage of the more popular people of the sub-forum in flouncy protest. I guess after that VB made her own LP forum off site, and there's actually a good number of folk who simul-post in both still despite the significant neutering of this dead gay forum's biggest cash cow. Also, VB's site is weirdly super content policing heavy.
But whatevs, I don't have the attention span to investigate that place beyond first glance.

Pseyeball basically never tweeted about lowtax again. It's clear he just got mad and said poo poo and then they was it and he never brought it up again. VB was the one who was so mad shr started an entire alternative site, and did the tweets too.

Not that I'm some kind of kiwifarmer with a screenshot record, they both deleted their tweets after a while. Twitter is a really loving horrible system because you can say the worst poo poo to people and then delete it and it pretend it never happened.

Iirc I think another LPer was like "lowtax it's weird to let your daughter talk to goons about pedophilia" but when lowtax banned her, then all the LPers that were friends with her (including VB) started a big twitter flame thing at lowtax. This spilled over to the forums because he was banning people without a description due to twitter drama, which seemed to be in violation of the whole "no banning for offsite drama" thing.

The whole thing is a big dumb mess either way but I kind of agree it's weird af to let your kids talk to goons in general, but especially about a diaper wearing pedophile. :shrug:

Psychedelic Eyeball was the other LPer, and the tweet was a bit more hostile than that iirc. Something along the lines of CPS should take his kids, and then either they or someone else tweeted that lowtax molested his daughter.

No poo poo they got banned.

I followed that saga and don't remember any of this, but I do remember a shitton of people saying VB tweeted all sorts of awful poo poo that has never once been screenshotted. Not saying she couldn't have, there was tons of schyphants and other personalities that said equally vile poo poo, but the waters are pretty drat muddy that I take everything said about the situation with a lot of salt when it comes to specifics.

you know what, I suppose that's fair.
I saw the tweets but didn't hold on to them because not much of my daily concerns are about Voidburger. I've never looked at her feed except when it was linked from the forums, only looked at lpzone once and never again... I'm still subscribed to tietuesday on youtube but even though he quit his job to scream he doesn't put much up on youtube so I just haven't bothered to unsubscribe. And I didn't know just how common it is on twitter to just say poo poo and then delete it. Or I thought other goons would remember the story clearer and the ones who would take her side would just leave... there's been a lot of more bizarre goon things that people reference constantly.
I did not swear revenge or maliciously curse or anything, I was just really disappointed in her and wished she had not taken that road. I didn't want to become a crusader against VB.
A lot of the other goons who were in the drama seem to have left or at least are GBS only. And I've seen what Kiwifarms is like, and screenshotting people's poo poo and holding on to it feels like going down the road to becoming to becoming like them.

But that does mean there's no reason to believe it, and all of this started because vb's in-crowd believes everything she says. Hell, we have Trump because a lot of people believe everything they see on their facebook feed. So it's fair to be more critical about things like that.

Lowtax I can emphasize with. He's a father. You don't insult someone's ability to parent, or be some internet parenting quarterback who tells what he can and cannot tell his kids, and then self-righteously expect them to just take it. It's like the only thing in life that Lowtax actually cares about. I also don't understand how it's "CREEPY" for a dad to tell his daughter that a pedophile she had been around and that he had previously worked with and called a friend was actually a pedophile. Maybe a wrong decision, sure, but weird and creepy? That would be if someone else told the kid, Lowtax is her parent, you know what a parent is right? Have you met a human before?
Why would anyone expect a human they've have never met before to be respectful and nod along and tell them "wowwww you're RIGHT" when they poo poo-talk how they raise their child.

Whatever. I hate it when this comes up.
