hey listen poo poo on the dead wife beater all you want but gently caress off with transphobia. dude was straight.
i'm sorry
i see how my post can be read as transphobic, but that really wasn't my intention

i'm fortunate that i've not had a lot of bad experiences coming out as bi, but the few i've had have generally been down to people not being comfortable about their own sexuality - something that's come to light after i've taken the time to sit down with the people to try and talk about it

Without these forums i wouldn't have met my wife of 19 years. My 15 year old son knows the story of this site. it is a weird lore. Lowtax was a fucken awful person. But he created something bigger than himself here.
if you think about it, lowtax is more like the landlord that takes credit for the stuff people make on a plot of land

astral posted:

I'll share a Lowtax story. Back when the future of SA was totally going to be XenForo, really, they promise, etc., Lowtax was looking for people that knew anything about anything to advise/help/etc. him about the migration. I told him I'd be happy to consult on the code modifications side of things and/or help with auditing the then-current setup. After exchanging and confirming contact information, I never heard from him again.
That seems entirely on-brand. I once offered to do some server admin duties to try and improve things, and he never got back to me.

I mean fair enough if he didn't want to trust some stranger on the internet, but even a courtesy "no thanks" wouldn't be too much, I would've thunk.

I don't know if this is the right thread for it, but since the pusher and shover bots came up earlier in the thread and it wasn't addressed then, I think it needs to be mentioned somewhere:
The Laziest Men On Mars aka. Jeffrey Ray Roberts - who made the gabber versions of All Your Base and Terrible Secret Of Space - passed away like a decade ago.

I only found out about it recently, so I guess it's possible it's something everyone knows.

My brother currently has our 20 year old cat who passed away last Saturday in a freezer as well because he lives in the tundra and the ground won’t thaw until May or June and I hope his very young son won’t be telling a psychiatrist someday that there was a dead cat in the freezer growing up. It’s a screamy situation.

Screamy - adjective

The quality of being frozen in death and being denied a graceful burial
I've never put any thought to how you bury a pet when you live above the polar circle, but yeah I guess you simply have to keep them frozen until the ground thaws.

Meanwhile, I'm gonna be over here petting my cat Randy, because now I'm sad.

Just because Lowtax owned the servers that a lot of great content got created on doesn't make him a comedic genius, though.

At best, it makes him a landlord.

He was funny at times, sure - especially with something rehearsed. That doesn't mean that he has to be forgiven for what he did later on.

If you want to practice death of the author, that's your prerogative of course - but at the very least, it seems to me to be a good idea to say that that's what you're doing?

Naw dawg you gotta explain what you think it means. You don't get to use a phrase wrong and then be like "well why don't you tell the class what you think it is" when called out on it
Well, I'm not completely sure about it, but so far as I remember, it's a concept in literary criticism which dictates that only what's in the text can be used to judge an authors work.
Sometimes it gets applied by people trying to argue that the author is no more right about the interpretation of the work than is anyone else, but other times it gets used to divorce the author from their work in case it turns out the author is a right prick.
