Texarrakis had a slight friend of goon connection but it was a thread for making fun of them. My crazy friends decided to move to the middle of the desert in West Texas Hub Cat fucked around with this message at 16:39 on May 21, 2020 |

that's happened twice, because there was definitely a GBS thread where a british/irish/euroweird found a similar useless patch of desert on sale for the lowlow and was p[osting about buying it before everyone talked about what an impossibility it would be to manage access easments and water & such,

Hell, land in terrible areas is usually super cheap too. You can by vacant land in Chicago for about $2000 if you're willing to try and live in a really loving rough neighborhood. They used to sell lots for like $1, but I think they stopped that in the last few years.

The Texarrakis land is like, you would die in a matter of days quality terrible. I feel like it's fairly common for online idiots to get bright ideas about buying up land in like, the southwest or the australian bush or somewhere utterly poo poo and trying to make a commune.

Solice Kirsk posted:Be better off buying this and fixing it up: When I was fresh out of college I almost bought a house in Detroit to fix up and rent out for a while. Was going to rent it out for the cost of the mortgage and a clause to keep it maintained. That way a family would get cheap housing and I could eventually move in at some point. Ended up not doing that because of all the house fires going on in Detroit at the time, didn’t want to buy something and have a vacant lot by the time I could repair it.

Every game my 8-year-old has played lately has seemed to have some kind of Deadmau5 reference and I can't help but think "poo poo, that's right, he used to mod gbs for like three seconds" every time he's brought into my sphere of awareness.

As I recall he was made mod and immediately began posting badly, and one of the GBS mods at the time, unaware he was a new colleague, gave him a sixer. And then he never came back

I would bet dollars to donuts that Joe Rogan was a goon at one point if not still one. He probably just sits in TCC and SAS and does nothing but talk about DMT and MMA.

SWBM knew exactly what he was doing. This was a joke probation as a reference to his only probation back in 2008. Deadmau5 never intended to stay here as a mod, he just randomly reconnected with Lowtax on twitter, and they thought it'd be funny to make him a mod for a day.

The way that people have elaborate headcanons about various celebrities being goons just because a handful of lesser YouTubers posted here during the Bush administration is so depressing.

this is true but also distracts from the point that a goon with no experience wanted to hike thousands of miles through the dryest and hottest parts of the country from which the consequences are much worse than "might collapse on a field and have to wait for medics in an air conditioned building"
