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 hear my dad coughing more often and shorter of breath lately and often I need to excuse myself to not cry in front of him because I know he's getting older. Even if I hated life and wanted to die I could never do that to him. If Lowtax actually gave a shit about his father he'd be around for him.
Kiwis, hug your dad if you still have the option. he'll appreciate it even if he doesn't say it.
This thread is right on the verge of making me cry and I JUST did my makeup. I must be strong.

The suicide note is self centered and his final action was but I still can't help but feel sad by this. For his kids, left without a father. His parents, left without a son. Plus the dog, left without an owner and forced to go to a shelter and be emotionally scarred, even if the dog had no clue what happened. This is so fucked up. I miss my dad, but atleast he didn't choose to go out. The pain from his loved ones will last decades. My deepest condolences.

There are signs I drive by on my way to work that say "don't kill yourself" and "killing yourself only passes your pain onto your loved ones" which I think about alot.
 
lol what? This is not something that happens. A psychiatrist does not see a patient with high blood pressure and go "you need to leave". Was this maybe referencing that he refused to fill his Adderall which can raise blood pressure and the cop who wrote this didn't understand? I have never once heard of a psychiatrist refusing treatment because of high blood pressure. They are doctors and there to treat illness.

A psychiatrist can refuse to see a patient if the patient’s blood pressure is high to the point of it being acutely hazardous to their health. Docs send patients to the ER from their practice all the time because a PCP or psych is not necessarily equipped to treat a pressure of say 180/100 or whatever it may have been. A medical doctor can’t sit there and talk about muh depression when they know a more important issue, the blood pressure, can cause issues earlier.

Also if he was there to refill Adderall the psych can definitely say no as it’s their ass if they give amphetamines to a guy with high blood pressure and he strokes out.

Don't feel too bad. Even if he didn't shoot himself with his hipster pistol, it's not like he would have been involved in his kids' lives anyway. I'm sure he'd expend way more time and effort trying to weasel out of child support than he would trying to be a parent or fighting to get visitation.

Knowing your own dad shot himself rather then even try and stay in your life is pretty fucking bleak though. Like that's something you never get over and are scarred with for life. Even if Richard was a horrible father they have to now life with that trauma for their entire lives.
 
I hope the kids are going to be okay. Their mothers seem pretty sensible and loving (they were wise enough to get out and take the kids with them when Lowtax started being a piece of shit) and the oldest one calling him "birth giver" suggests that they know it's not their fault and that he was the problem, not them. It's a fucked up situation and these kids should never have to take on so much responsibility or even worry about a parent choosing to leave in such a brutal way, but they have a support network and seem like smart and resilient kids. Rekieta's kids are similar, the oldest ones seem to act more like parents to the younger ones than their actual parents do. They're already better adults than their father was, hopefully they will keep being good people and have happy lives even without having had a good example.

Those women married Lowtax and had kids with him, they're not sensible in the least.

At least the ones that got taken off to Canada with their mom probably won't be too shook. The ones too young to remember him would probably be better off believing whoever their mom was with now was their father.
If Lowtax was still around, he'd be shorting his child support payments for Goldbelly pies and mangosteen juice.
 
The only part that surprises me is that Lowtax did a a bathtub suicide. He always struck me as the spiteful type to do it in the living room all over the walls, and furniture, and carpet for no other reason than to be an asshole and pain in the ass one last time.
Why would he want to mess his own house up?
