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'm missing several discs (as in, they are completely degenerated) in my spine and I never whined as much as Lowtax did. Yeah, it hurts every so often but if you keep yourself in shape and you're careful in how you use your back, shit is fine. Like others said, he just wanted an excuse for pills.
 
He had nerve damage but he had already burned out his opiod receptors before he ever got injured. Plus opioids don't really work that well for nerve pain, you just have to be doped up to the point you can't feel anything and you're also a drooling zombie. Then, the withdrawal from opioids causes pain greater than you would ever have had without them.
 
Lowtax was not getting legal prescriptions. If he was, his mom and his ex's would be filing wrongful death suits against the doc that prescribed him.

He was was consuming a massive amount of illicit prescriptions from online. That is obscenely expensive. So I am guessing that when the hammer went down, Lowtax either a) had to get clean, b) learn to love the needle and switch to fent, or c) as a finally fuck you to the world, end it all.

Dude was just a needle phobic pussy.
 
It's very common for people who are addicted to prescription painkillers over the course of many years to get nerve damage in parts of their body, especially so if they are chronically immobile to boot. It stems from them falling asleep or holding themselves in uncomfortable positions that are strenuous on their joints for extended periods of time. When a normal person does this, their body uses their pain receptors to send signals to them that sitting on their leg like this over the last eight hours is uncomfortable and they need to move it, but those same pain receptors its trying to communicate with are blocked. Same with sleeping on your arm in a funny position or something, your unconscious body will move it while you sleep as a response to the pain. This could go for any number of scenarios. I would imagine a combination of poor posture and bad sleeping habits mixed with his extreme pill addiction ruined his body. Obviously just having this issue once or twice isn't going to do anything to you, but over 10+ years or however long Rich has been using for? It can absolutely cause serious nerve damage. Remember, not only was his spine fucked, but he commonly talked about his left arm/hand locking up for minutes at a time, neck issues, etc.

Why would somebody file a wrongful death suit against a doctor for opioid prescriptions when their patient blew his brains out with a pistol one hour after his divorce settlement?

Nerve pain is the only kind of pain because pain is a product of the nervous system.

Yeah, his neck was 100% a drugs thing.

If you be on opioids, like a shocking % of america is, look at Lowtax's end and try to get off of em. Look at how much he fucked up because of them, beyond his own life. He could have made each and every one of his children and ex-wives a multi-millionare if he wasn't a lazy drug addict.

He could have put his entire family firmly in the upper class if he wasn't such an addict.

Instead the last his (firmly low class, single parent) children will see of him is a zany suicide youtube note video begging for money (not for them! but for drugs lol), and the person who last talked to him is a troon who repeatively harrassed his wife about how lowtax was jerking off to his tranny dick pics. The only person he apologized to before offing himself.

Fucking legit lol of an ending to his story.
 
this guy was my friend on steam for a bit i tried to encourage him to do more gorilla marketing for his website but he said it was dead compared to reddit

he also babysat me a few times as a kid

idk if hes dead or not but if he is that sucks


i changed the fyad signature divider to my internet handle
 
All I remember was that he was an early days Weird Twitter guy and kinda just faded away after the "smash mouth eat the eggs" thing and Dril more or less doing the same kind of shitposting but better
For a while many people thought he was Dril but those who were a part of Weird Twitter were insistent that it wasn’t him. I think he tucked tail and ran after being made fun of.
How long before it's legal for a Kiwi to groom his kids as a final parting sign of disrespect?
@NavyGuzzler would be the first one to try if he hasn’t been doing so already.

Why would somebody sue nool because they're angry that their own Internet posts made them look bad?
 
He never actually claimed this, it was just a common goon joke that got repeated so much it became Goon Lore.
Ashli speculates about it in one of the post-suicide posts she made on the SA forums. I think it's safe to say that even if he wasn't trotting that out as an excuse publicly (or at least not very much), he was trotting it out privately.
