Inactive Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka - Deadbeat (emphasis on "Dead") founder of Something Awful, forced out of his own community, on his second divorce, stuck his dick in crazy, "Birth Giver"

I wonder what the resulting gore is from one shoving a five-seven up one's pill-hole and blasting away vs. a more traditional cartridge?

Depends on which style of round used. Soft point would cause a bit of damage, and quick death. But I'm thinking this dumbass used a FMJ and it took awhile to bleed out, someone posted he didn't die quickly and bled out, so, I'm guessing it was FMJ and quite a mess.

There is a reason you aren't allowed to hunt with a FMJ

Fucking lowtax is so lazy he couldn’t even be arsed to die quickly after delivering his fatal blow.

For what it’s worth, the 5.7x28 is going to behave like a normal pistol round. I’m guessing the overpressure took a giant chunk out on the back end. But I really don’t want to get into ballistic autism here. But the 5.7x28 even out of a pistol, is not going to behave like a pistol round.


I’m really disappointed that he didn’t try some goof troop round like .51 Gyrojet and then not die because it leaves the barrel at 25fps, but proceeds to burn his house down on top of him.
 
It's also marketable, which is a detriment.

These discussions aren't new, nor were they new when they came about on SA. Before SA had the audience it had the same shit happened at other sites. People were leaving one forum for another because the one forum got some sort of ad deal and immediately proclaimed "no more faggot posts we have to make Evilcorp happy." To which, the obvious insult in retort is "why do I need to make Evilcorp happy, so you can get your ramen and hentai ftp? So that they'll throw in a 50 dollar prize for a gaming tournament? Fuck them and fuck you."

But that creates a constant churn. Every 6 months all of the people in the thing you post on or play are bailing out of one site for another, or one IRC network for another, and it's a constant fucking hassle. Every time there's a schism a handful of people don't want to change for whatever reason. The only way to stop the churn is to somehow create a walled garden that keeps just the right amount of new people out, and solves the reliance on corporate money. Charging 10 bux works for that by blocking 90% of the tween chuds on their mom's iPad and paying for the servers. But that creates a subsequent problem, in which cliques are protected from the outside world and possibly worse yet, discover their clout could be marketable.

tl;dr:
Honestly, the marketability is fine. I bought tons of shit on sa-Mart. But I'm also a filthy jew and I see a difference between marketing a product and lifestyle marketing. There were always retards who would have fallen for "goondom" but I guess sa mart and a desire for more community cohesion was probably was one of the major pressures from the inside to "clean up" the forums because there was perceived to be a direct financial threat/incentive to the future profitability of the website. I think in hindsight a lot of that mindset over the last decade has been a moral panic but that didn't stop people from ruining entire communities over it
 
Was that related to the part of the site where they made fun of forums they thought were filled with losers? They used to try and raid those forums, but at least most of them didn't charge money to have an account. I'm not even sure anyone really cared when they tried to start something, but it was a long time ago so I don't remember much.
How I ended up finding SA back in the day was because I was a fan of Late Night with Conan O’Brien and they put this weird Conan fangirl forum on Weekend Web and made a flash animation about it which was actually really funny, but as I remember they also raided them to the point they had to totally restart their forum. Yeah this forum of teenage girls fangirling over Conan O’Brien was weird and fine to laugh at from afar, but why raid something dumb like that. They weren’t saying anything there that girls weren’t saying online about Orlando Bloom, Justin Timberlake or whatever more conventional celebrity crush at the time. Yet I remember SA doing that to lots of random niche forums that weren’t hurting anyone, they were just weird. for all the shit KF gets at least here people generally don’t interfere with the “haha this post is cringe” type communities.
 
I've always liked the caution against powerleveling here for a lot of reasons (shits up threads, nobody wants to read your diary, makes you easy to dox), but on reflection, I think it makes for a good balance in post tone as well.
Well, you can see a situation and offer some insight because it happened to you, or something similar happened to you, right? It's just real easy to start oversharing and trying to make KF into your own personal therapist. It's a fine line to walk. Still, some people are spergs and TMI the second you mention anything that happens in real life and not on the internet.

Lowtax's last stream

QRD: He eats 2 Circle K Hotdog's and a Rockstar energy drink. Rambles about bullshit.....trying to do some sort of fundraiser for children or something. Clearly under the influence more than i have ever seen before.


I would of known immediately after seeing he was about to kill himself. The vibes he is putting off just indicates he has no more fuel in the tank and he is done. Mentions death 17 times...A guy who used to same day fly 2lbs of Goldbelly Chili for $7000 is reduced to a simple 2 for $3 hotdog meal at a gas station.

At the 5:50 marks he actually downs 2 pills of some sort

I just watched it twice. His stream makes no fucking sense and he was thinking about suicide i can tell.

I never posted on the forums but I distinctly remember the articles where they'd go to these stupid forums about the MPreg fetish or euphoric atheists (before we called them that) and post screenshots of some of the stupider posts. Pretty similar to what we do today with Twitter tweets… Those were my favorite SA articles back in the day.

That was the Weekend Web feature. The guy with the duck avatar (who I still for the love of fuck can't remember what his actual username was) SpokkerJones did those. I distinctly remember that one of the forums they pillaged was forum.jerkoffzone.com/xxxporntalk.com where Alexandra Mayers/Monica Foster used to post. They also did a special Weekend Web on the AOL search engine database debacle.

Absolutely, and nearly everyone watching were his "friends," paypigs hanging on so they could beg and mooch off him later by bringing up how they give him a few bucks here and there so he owes them their rent money so they won't get evicted. That's why Alice and the MRAs are going so hard against the narrative right now.

They're guilty

Should've used the good old 12 gauge option like the guy who minecrafted himself over his involvement with the Discord trannies. Keltec KSG turned his skull into vapor in the fraction of a second.
 
That stream's got a weird dark vibe to it, not his usual funnyman bullshit. I didn't bother to watch it before but he's completely blasted. Swaying side to side, drinking rockstar and downing handfuls of pills.

He probably shot himself right after.

Pretty much was what this thread was saying he was like for years. Only thing missing was the wine.

My account is so old it was free. :smug:
YOU'RE A LYING JEWISH WHORE.

(Also, kinda off-topic, but thanks for the reaction-spam from the other day, guys, I was genuinely feeling like shit due to the anniversary of my Grandpa's death, and seeing my inbox jammed up wih nothing but "mad at the internet" reactions made me nearly crack a rib from laughter. Cheers, you lovely bunch of retards. <3)

The Community Watch threads here are the only remaining place on the internet where you can still point at laugh at those sorts of places. It's the reason I moved from SA to KF, because SA had changed from a place where you could laugh at idiots, to a place where you couldn't laugh at idiots in case it upset their feelings, to a place where the idiots had moved in and taken over. Early SA made fun of Tumblr Otherkin and Multiples, 20 years later the same Tumblr teenagers who made those posts are the moderation team at SA, and they haven't moved on one bit. Maybe a microcosm of the West in general - the dumb "there are a million genders and I am all of them" Tumblr teens who you would make fun of in the early 2000s are now journalists, politicians, heads of HR and other influential societal positions, and we didn't do anything to stop that because we all assumed they'd grow out of it but they didn't, and now they're in charge.

KF reminds me of the glory days of SA in some ways - you can call out weirdos and morons, and you are expected to try to do it in a funny way rather than just get mad. Of course it's very different in many other ways, some good, some not. But I'll take for all its flaws, one of the last bastions of pointing out that the Emperor has no clothes.

Wow, he offed himself with a five-seven? Those have terrible tiny bullets that only have value for penetrating armor except most places you can't get the armor penetrating versions, it's a stupid gimmick gun. Better hope his aim was spot-on with that or he probably didn't go fast.

As anyone who tried to introduce Lowtax to reality or any idea that wasn't his could tell you, the man's skull was thick enough that an AP round was probably the best choice.
 
Oh fuck he literally permanently traumatized his family. Let’s get this straight
Lowtax falls into money by making a website that becomes a monolith of web culture.
instead of seeing an opportunity and running with it he goes ‘well I made it time to live off of drugs booze and other peoples money forever’
the website loses relevance as it is never updated and it’s owner never even tries to plan for the future
Lowtax continues to only think about himself even when getting married and having kids.
eventually the money train dries up and people stop throwing money at him leaving him as a 45 year old with no job experience in twenty years, alimony and child support to pay, crippling debt, a drug/alcohol addiction, dependent on his octogenarian mother, and his options are to either get back to the real world and get a job or off himself.
dude I am just gonna off myself once the divorce is done fuck my kids fuck my exes fuck my mom I am the victim here.

Weekend Web was basically Community Watch before Kiwi Farms existed. The parody ones still crack me up:

He had a small, smooth brain so it only took a small bullet to get rid of it.
