Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.
Gave what I’ve spent here, seemed right.

On the off chance that any of Lowtax’s kids read this one day, I’d say the following to them:

Everybody has parts about themselves that they don’t like, parts that might not be so great and parts that are wonderful. Some people lean into the awful and some lean into the wonderful.

Your dad wasn’t perfect, but you can learn from his choices. You can keep the best parts of him and make them part of you while rejecting the worst parts. His choices are not your fault in any way either and there was nothing you could have done that would have changed the outcome.

I don’t know you, but I love you and hope that you all find peace.

It is progressing, but it's not an instant thing. I could self-author a trust to open a bank account in the trust's name and get it done in two seconds but 1. that would be shady AF and 2. it would require me to be on the hook for mailing out checks or sending wires at the agreed periods. Getting an actual attorney to handle is better all around, but they take more time (and money).

Someone mentioned it earlier but I can't find it to quote, but we've cleared up everything with GFM. I'm not sure if it's an automatic thing at a certain dollar amount, or a bad actor did try to cause issues, but both myself and LadyAmbien have gone through their steps to confirm that I am who I say I am, she is who I said she is, and what the plan is as far as disbursing the money through a trust equally to the 3 girls. There was never any kind of hold on the fundraiser itself, just some confirmation procedures we had to do before any money could be released and by March 2022. My plan is to have the trust in force before end of year so the trust can be funded/the GFM money withdrawn, and the monthly payments on the smaller portion of allocated funds can begin no later than January.

In a twisted way, I do understand you. After I heared what Richard did to his wives and his girlfriend, I almost wished I could have shot him myself, so him actually doing that really upset me on some "gently caress, that bastard escaped justice" kind of way

I just suggest not posting before cooling off though, others reading your heated moment emotions can get embarrassing later

I don't think i can match what i've spent. I went on a drunken buying spree last year in a lurker thread and an AV thread. I did all the creepy pokemans, and a bunch of AVs based of usernames.
I think I spent about $250 or so. I can't afford that now, but I'm up to $40.

Not to mention like $15 bucks on my own to get my AV just right, because I kept loving up. Next week is pay day, though!

impressive, goons!

or hell, even

This ain’t the thread to drag Lowtax or to say how you wish he had justice — it’s the thread to maybe help some kids who lost their dad and will have a real loving hard time reconciling who their father was and the decisions he made.

It’s not about any of our feelings, so just chill and give money to some kids who are having a Real Bad Time right now.
