So like is no one actually going to post what happened

https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3692592&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=1

quote:

I said I would explain why I got it, so. To put it very shortly. As mentioned before 2014 was my rock bottom. Had my best friend from elementary school loving my (now ex) girlfriend behind my back. Had to move home because he was my loving roommate. A different roommate knew and didnt tell me, and that friendship ended which also ended my music career (which if I am being honest was going very very well. Like, thousands of copies sold well). I couldn't go back to school due to a restraining order that SHE got on me because she went to the same school, but I had already enrolled so now I'm in debt thousands of dollars. I have had 2 court cases in one year. one involving me beating a kid with a shovel which was assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. Then recently I was charged with 3 more counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and felony reckless driving. I won't discuss the cases in detail but let's just say it sucks. I am in debt to my family nearly $8,000 in lawyers fees as well as thousands in restitution fees and probation fees. I lost my license indefinitely and totaled my car. I lost my job, because I needed my car to do my job (I have since thankfully gotten a much better job). And to be sincere, that is the tip of my iceberg of problems that happened in 2014 alone.


Ultimately I got it to remind myself that since then I have made great strides in my life to improve it. I got in therapy, put on proper medication, went through a 3 month long anger management course, got a better job, started working out, and dropped all my bad friends and have started to make new better ones, quit smoking. I want to look at it and remind myself that 2014 was the worst possible version of myself, and that every day forward is a day I can improve myself and be better than the 2014 version of me. Which was easily my rock bottom. Every day I can't ignore the fact that I have to be a better person than I once was. And also never to forget the things that did happen to me. Because as lovely as they are, those things are what brought me to the point where I actually turned my life around. Without them I still would probably be a half assed shmuck who isn't interested in being the best possible version of myself.

/endrant


Continue mocking me for my terrible decisions

In summary this is where the shovel beating accusations come from, he loving admitted it himself. No idea if he committed vehicular manslaughter, but felony reckless driving is in there too

It would be great if this leads to some kind of mod protest strike. A new twist haven't seen yet

quote:

I have never murdered anyone. I have never physically harmed my ex.

I was in a car crash that was headlight to headlight. because there was yelling and arguing before hand it was considered intentional by the law. even though it was an absolute complete genuine mistake and I didn't intend to hit his car at all. there was 3 people in the other car which is why the gave me 3 counts of A&B with a dangerous weapon (car).

I would never try and hurt someone or ruin my own car intentionally. I'm not THAT stupid.

though yes I did hit a kid with a shovel for loving my ex. and he was my roommate. and kinda deserved it. and that was wrong and I shouldn't have done that and the proper course of action should have just been to walk away and say "gently caress all these people I'm out" and moved on with my life. but I didn't. I reacted poorly.

my car related problems are merely from all from a small car crash that had some yelling going on before it happened, and again, I didn't do it intentionally.

sorry my story isn't quite as exciting as you think

I'm assuming Windows 98 did it for the same reason he posts: a desperate need for negative attention. But nobody actually knows, no.

If you count them all, this sentence has exactly seventy-two characters.
I don't know if it's been covered, but I just realized Win98 is still on probation for 5 days.

But as a mod he can still moderate and probate other people.

God bless these forums.

im really quite sure he didnt and thinking that he did in any way is just silly
