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"

There is a huge difference between a sanctioned boxing match, a sparring match, and an illegal boxing match.

If the contract was for a boxing match, it gets expensive, requiring medical screenings, ring side doctors, license etc. The big reason so many opening matches will exist on fight card is to try and save money.

Sparring sessions, obvious the conditions are different. You don't have the necessary legal requirements, under the expectation that the participants are not actually fighting Lowtax effectively acts like the bout went down like the sparring scene in "Million Dollar Baby" where numerous people would be facing criminal charges if it occurred in real life, especially if it was recorded like the Uwe sessions.

Correct me if I am wrong, Lowtax never went to the doctor after this sparring session right?

If Uwe went into that session and people suspected he was headhunting, not only would the German authorities go after him, he would have been blacklisted from boxing gyms like that Charlie Z idiot.

None of this is true.

You can go as hard as you want in a sparring session, plenty of people get hurt and even KOed sparring. No one is going to arrest you.

Unless you are talking about some specific rules for a specific country that I am unaware of.

So would that make us a "Sheltered Forum"?

Autism isn't a disability, it's a super power... Or at least that's what my mom told me the doctors said.

Okay. Charlie Z.

Okay. Charlie Z.

I just watched a hard full contact sparring session between two kickboxers.

At some gyms going all out is the norm, not the exception. The police won't come and cuff you if you do.

You are right. I am wrong. We can both move on.

Sorry if this merits me a late rating, but the thing about his wife being a Christian and Lowtax being a literal fedora tipping Atheist, I kind of wonder about that. I know it's true; Rich was on here bitching about having to leave the house during Bible study/prayer groups, wasn't he? I know in the whirlwind of the collapse of that marriage he was whining about it somewhere. Did she not realize he was a neckbeard when it came to spiritual matters, or just "not care", or think she could "fix" him, or what? We'll never know.

Women's logic, lol.

serious answer: From reading between the lines of their posting, Chinkwife was sort of non-practicing Christian from when they were dating until she had kids. She then seems to have decided she wanted her daughters to have some sort of belief system and got involved in church again. Church became pretty much her social circle at that point because Lowtax was a shut-in and his circle of freinds was pretty much garbage day and Shmorky.

Going into speculation and assumption: Its very likely around that time was when he started using heavily. Addicts with money quickly don't want to do much more than sit around and get high, because when you're out and about its harder to get yourself fixed up; and money spent on non-durable things that "aren't drugs" seems like such a waste. Additionally when they are high, they can't go out into polite company. Its also probable that like many dysfunctional couples there was a moment of: "You know what will fix this relationship? A child."

And he didn't have to leave the house during bible study, but couldn't stop from losing his euphoric mind at the possibility of Jebus being discussed in a non-derogatory manner.

Annecdata: when I was young my stepmother did bible study. There was very little biblical discussion but a lot of church & community gossip. Everyone read the same bible chapters and then decided how that could relate to how Jenny was being a little cunt and Bob & Kathy were having money troubles (because of his fishing trips on that boat) and Fred McLintock needed to control his son better.

We have a saying where I'm from that goes "Where there's no plaintiff there's no judge" basically means that people often do shit (especially to each other) that's technically illegal or grounds for a lawsuit but nothing ever happens because it only affects the people involved and nobody goes to the police/sues and the state doesn't really care that much so doesn't even attempt to get involved itself. Not saying that's the case here because I have no idea, but it might be a thing to consider.

Did she not realize he was a neckbeard when it came to spiritual matters, or just "not care", or think she could "fix" him, or what?

I think the boring answer is that people who are incompatible, sometimes don't even know each other that well or are not really friends but still running on the fumes of that "initial attraction" phase get married and then the marriage just dies a death of a thousand cuts because of incompatibility things like that. Lowtax isn't the only one there and he seemed like the type that'd get hitched too quickly. If that BPD cokewhore wouldn't have destroyed him so utterly, they probably would've gotten married at some point too. That's just the kinda trash Lowtax was.

 

[Neil]

Momtax is furious and lawyers want to be paid. Rich's rotting corpse will likely provide lols for at least a year or two.

I think this really cements how shit of a person Rich left this world. He left behind three women scorned (and beaten), nothing to his daughters, and all of his debt to his grieving mother.
All three of those girls should rightfully hate his stupid ass for all eternity, I pray they'll see how much of a useless piece of shit their birthfather was and learn from his mistakes instead of blaming themselves for his failures.

 

[AnOminous]

It's sort of depressing that at every step in the chain of events that led to this fucking retard killing himself, we were giving him absolutely correct advice that would have saved his life had he taken it. But no, this fucking asshole ignored it all, his condition got increasingly worse, and then it got so bad he offed himself.

You fucking idiot. You could have listened, you could have lived, instead you are a dead idiot.

 

[Attractive Sexhaver]

It's really astounding that with all the advantages he had, it ended for him alone with a gun in his mouth.

He could have parlayed his site into something bigger. He could have sat on the profits the site was drawing in and remained a layabout. He could have not deliberately squandered his money to spite his ex. He could have let his wealthy mother carry his ass for a few years while he got out from under his debts.

I honestly don't know how anyone can kill themselves and leave behind three kids who very much still need a father. If I had to guess, it wasn't the lost money that got to him as much as the loss of being relevant. Somethingawful had been sliding for decades by the time he sold it, but once he sold it he was 100% a thing of the past. His ego couldn't handle that.

I can't imagine what it's like to lose your father as a child/teen... but was this much of a loss? He was a terrible influence, and all signs pointed to that never changing. Some people you're better off with them out of your life than in it. Lowtax was irredeemable, scuppering every single chance given to him. If he'd lived, he never would have changed, and he would have dragged everyone else down with him. Him offing himself was the best realistic outcome for everyone, kids included.

 

[Hot Dog]

The odds of Lowtax ever sacking up and being responsible were practically zero. Dude never had to really own up to consequences for his actions and simply didn't care about anyone but himself. The kids are better off with nothing in their lives rather than having him squawk at them about how great he was back in the 2000s and ignoring their needs.

 

[George Floyd Sneed]

His oldest daughter called him “birth giver” on her phone, his middle daughter developed neuroses anytime that she had to go over to Dick’s, and his youngest daughter was blatantly used as a pawn during the divorce. It’s one of those things where it’s unlikely any of them miss him being around. Also when I say “them,” I mean everyone in his wretched life. Momtax seems like the type who raised a stink because her tranny loving, wife beating, opioid addict son eating lead reflects poorly on her rather than any sincerity towards her dead, gay son.

I think the boring answer is that people who are incompatible, sometimes don't even know each other that well or are not really friends but still running on the fumes of that "initial attraction" phase get married and then the marriage just dies a death of a thousand cuts because of incompatibility things like that.

Crazyellow became more religious as time went on, it happens all the time, especially as they start a family. Poor Richard is not the kind to want to commit an hour of time on Sunday when he could be getting high instead.

 

[Jan Ciągwa]

If I had to guess, it wasn't the lost money that got to him as much as the loss of being relevant.

He cared only about drugs. He got absolutely sodomized in court thanks to being a spiteful asshole for no real point. The perspective of never getting high again for the rest of your life is what made him kill himself.

 

[AnOminous]

I just find it depressing to see someone die and literally nobody has a single good word to say about him. I would probably disagree with that good word if anyone had it, but it's seriously sad. Not a single person had a single good word to say about this dude.

Congratulations, Dickard. What a legacy.

You sucked off a summer sausage to an audience of 12 and then blew your brains out. Great jerb.

A parent committing suicide is always a traumatic event, no matter now much of a piece of shit they were. It is an irreparable wound you never recover from.

A deadbeat parent's suicide is definitely not a joke, and I have no intention of making light of it. And it can be a tough and emotional thing for children to go through, speaking from personal experience. And I know that it's often much harder on the children than on the parent. However, I also know that it doesn't necessarily turn you into a sad, depressed sack of tears for the rest of your life. People can move past it, and heal.

I think even Schmorky has the self-awareness to know that Richard wasn’t a good person since he let a diaper-fetishist pedophile watch his kids.

I'm not going to jump too deep into the weeds on this one or powerlevel too much but I have personal experience with a deadbeat parent that threw everything and everyone away to get high and leech off of others. It culminated in every single family member he was supposed to care about getting anxiety disorders to outright PTSD from him drugging and molesting his children. People were objects to him.

His death would be a net positive for everyone unfortunate enough to trust him. Some people are simply irredeemable. The children grieved more for their feelings of what they thought their parent was supposed to be rather than what he was. I'd assume Lowtaxs kids will go through the same thing and come to terms with it in time and in their own way.
