    Our nephew Tristan died last march due to a sudden brain aneurysm. It's been hard for the entire family. The loss for the parents is crushing.

    The saddest thing how soon people become spoken about in the 'past tense'.

    So QBN. This is Tristan, he likes scouts, manga, drawing, Dragon Ball Z. We miss you, little man.

    • Sorry for your loss. :( I can't even imagine.mort_

    • Bout fuckin' time.elahon
    • ..he had child rape comments? I seriously skip his words, but the last thing I saw of his was him suggesting that I eat my dog.garbage
    • I linked the sex with minors comment in the Spammer thread, garbage. Just the one, but it was enough to make me see red.Continuity
    • 2008-2020 .... he had quite a long run.Ramanisky2
    • As long as people keep feeding the trolls...mort_
    • re: paedo shit - he was just making a crass joke. wasn't funny, but wasn't actual paedophilia.Nairn
    • THAT was one post I did read and wondered why everyone was getting so histrionic - looking at you, continuity, brother. Not sad he's gone mind.Nairn
    • We can finally read notes again without having to pre-scan so much.Nairn
    • re: eating dog. yeah, i forgot about that. shit troll is shit, and best gone. I don't get why people feel the need to expend effort on shit like that any more.Nairn
    • Sure, it's the very late 90s and you're in your early twenties and have just discovered the Christian Chat Rooms on Excite or whatever, but c'mon.Nairn
    • QBN database will save a lot of space nowyuekit
    • won't be missed. not sure what he added here except incoherent comment spam.inteliboy
    • I'm not in favor of banning for the most part, but it does seem like recently he kept making obnoxious comments in response to people sharing something aboutyuekit
    • their life (like the eat your dog thing). Like he was just trying to wind people up or something.yuekit
    • Has he really contributed anything other than being a complete prick towards others ?? his only posts are in Politics Donald Trump and BLM ThreadsRamanisky2
    • Sweet dreamsAQUTE
    • Hehe nice effectpango
    • is this now?sted
    • @yue Yeah. The only humor was unintentional and found in the gap between his perceived boos and us yawning back.garbage
    • one less troll to worry aboutd_gitale
    • Since when is “I’m fucking an underage girl” a joke? When he follows up with “hehe”? Please.monospaced
    • is your first quote verbatim, monospaced?Nairn
    • he will be missed ;(pango
    • Without sharing anything creative in years, there doesn't seem to be any point him coming to QBN. Other than to antagonise people.PhanLo
    • He didn't share anything vaguely interesting in all the time I've been on here.PhanLo
    • At least he has his wee island house and his immense intellect to keep him busy being an ultra-capitalist superhero genius.PhanLo
    • Monos only slightly off. It was “I feel 13 years old like the girl I’m fucking, hehe” good riddance.ben_
    • I didn’t think I’d live to see the day though, I gotta tell you.ben_
    • That's disgusting. We're going to see this fucker in the news someday and not even know it.garbage
    • From what I've seen, people on her were worse to him, by a mile, than he ever was to anyone else.MondoMorphic
    • *hereMondoMorphic
    • Well in fairness, you kinda just showed up. The guy is a contrarian pile, but if you feel a kindred spirit to him, that’s cool!ben_
    • how is this done?!%!"sted
    • His sayings were harsh. I don’t approve censorship, but I believe QBN is better without him. Fuck Trump.maquito
    • LOL @ Mondo LO Fucking L
      Hahahahaha ohh wait hahahaha
      Oh my sides hurt.
      Ramanisky2
    • LOLpango
    • In case anybody hasn't been paying attention, Mondo is pretty much deathboy lite. The only difference is he doesn't have a spelling problem.garbage
    • He also deserves it for that note to mono about inviting minors to tape it with monos wifeNBQ00
    • that idiot couldn´t write one straight sentence..neverscared
    • deathboy and babydick sound very similar and both aggressive towards others. Wouldn't be surprised if they're the same person.NBQ00
    • Well, in any case: it’s only a matter of time until yurimon/deathboy activates his next of doubtless many user names he created for this eventuality.Continuity
    • @NBQ babydick is hilarious. i don't doubt it's someones second account but top class trolling...kingsteven
    • i have no doubt db will be back but he'll have to put effort in to forming his sentences if he doesn't want to be spotted, incredible when you stumble acrosskingsteven
    • his old posts and they're totally readable.kingsteven
    • For sure, ben_, I haven't seen everything that's gone on. Like I said, I was only talking about what I have seen.MondoMorphic
    • garbage, if me *not* being a far-Left whacko makes me deathboy lite, then maybe I am. His biggest issue was his politics which didn't happen to align with yoursMondoMorphic
    • ^ tbh there weren't many that engaged him on his politics. it was his lack of coherence and decorum - continually derailing meaningful discussion.kingsteven
    • his biggest issue was definitely NOT a different politicsmonospaced
    • mono is one of the good guys here
      ... end of story.
      Ramanisky2
    • ^Continuity
    • Yeah lol if all you saw was the politics issue then you're further gone than I thought.ben_
    • @kingsteven, I've seen his website and I assure you he can't put together more than 2 words before losing track of himself. It'll be easy to spot.ben_
    • @mondo It wasn't his politics. It was his "he how can bec uase if you can't even raacist sexist and homomphobic comments will become if h ow?"garbage
    • He was a fucking tumor, and he will return. It's a bad look to defend him, and I wish Moderator would make a post about people's ghost accounts.garbage
    • I don't know how much he actually believed what he said here, he just seemed to get off on being contrarian and super shitty to people.ben_
    • If so garbage, then totally, that's annoying AF. The stuff of his I'd seen wasn't as bad as that but if that's generally his contribution, then bye FeliciaMondoMorphic
    • The political stuff aside. If someone shared a story (say their wife was harassed) that knob would come in with "well what did she do to deserve it?" So Mondo,ben_
    • you're endorsing that... which, I mean go for it I guess?ben_
    • I saw the comment he made to garbage about the dog, wtf is wrong with that dudeernexbcn
    • probably implying that it's normal for asians to do that, because he's a racist moron and likes to flaunt itmonospaced
    • Which is even funnier because I'm white. I think I called him out once for saying some racist shit to pango, so I think he assumed I was Asian too.garbage

    This is the last thing Jevad wrote on his Facebook page last december. This a reminder we really need to hear sometimes :

    "One day, you’re 17 and you’re planning for someday. And then quietly, without you ever really noticing, someday is today. And then someday is yesterday. And this is your life"

    RIP Jevad

    My friend Mellisa.
    I met her through my wife, who is also sober.
    Melissa is one of f those that would sober up, get her life back together for about a year and then go on a bender and lose everything again.
    The last anyone heard from her was "i found meth". She was found dead in her car three days later.
    I've been to her kids b-day parties. We have a rose bush in our yard that she gave us as a housewarming gift. It just bloomed this week for the first time in a few years.

    • Yup pangomaquito
    • Calling him a rotten piece of shit, and sorry excuse for the human race IS about the nicest thing that can be said about him.monospaced
    • #RIPissoffBusterBoy
    • There will be another to replace him, but good riddance.ben_
    • Don't worry Gnash, I'm sure he left a trust to fund Harris, Rubin, Shapiro and his minions for a year or twoBonSeff

    • This is nothing like the 1984 scenario though. He was a real enemy and this isn’t a way to distract from the worst government administration in our lifetimes.monospaced
    • Sad day, RIPredneck
    • Your ear rings must come in handy with all the pooping you do in your boss’s bathroom, pangoGnash
    • im actually quite sad, i don't get to do that anymore :(pango
    • Never say neverGnash
    • i imaging a lot of people would like to take a dump on David Koch's coffin. never too late.pango
    • bummer. his philanthropy was quite somethin. done so much more than well say bernie sander types.deathboy
    • always funny how such hate is easily generated towards a figure they know not much about. really wondering what he has done that has tipped scales in such evildeathboy
    • status... hes made a ton of money and also given a ton of it toward causes that benefit most people.. but hated becuase he supported libertarian leanings...deathboy
    • how many people supporting democratic socialist leanings have done as well and as philanthropic with there earnings? hmm...deathboy
    • a bit embarassing those who profess hate for a person they don't know, or even specify why they hate him to publicly display itdeathboy
    • i might apathetically shrug about deaths of people I have lil understanding about, but i dont try to say they deserve it and shit and good riddance.deathboy
    • more like meh. but this guys is pretty public and employ and creation and what he has done should be shown a bit respect especially in comparison to othersdeathboy
    • fuckin feels like a neo nazi shoots up a school and everyone hear cheers. that's on the level of what i hear. sided cheerleaders. never focusing on what mattersdeathboy
    • You think the indigenous people of the Dakotas give two fucks he donated a Museum? Fuck off!BonSeff
    • you mean when he donate money to his own organization and gets tax write off? from one pocket to another pocket of his lolpango
    • HA and those "indigenous" ppl of dakota living off of public dime ever contributed anything closely to him? They may not care but many more than them havedeathboy
    • benefitted... technically that is the gov model however. hurt some for benefit of others but this way it was decided democratically with every dollar.deathboy
    • and sooo more efficiently. As far as pango tax writeoffs. yes tax writeoffs are to provide incentives to spend money on social programs. that is the nature ofdeathboy
    • them and the spending money on PBS like nova or health and cancer spending, very different than the zuckerberg iniative flowing money into research for productsdeathboy
    • fact is kochs spend a lot on good stuff and not on the PR about the spending of such money. Others spend plenty of money and media focused on bashing themdeathboy
    • amazing to bash someone and be happy they died for providing a shit ton of jobs and capital for causes. i think anyone who bashes blindly is simply a muppetdeathboy
    • of the PR campaigns of bought thought. and a great showing how easily it is to use emotion to blind people of whats importantdeathboy
    • And Bonseff we could have fun here. since im actually part blackfoot. Technically im more indigenous than you. Does that make me more right?deathboy
    • PR? nahh they just fund attack ads on politician who doesn't have koch money in the pocket.pango
    • happy? nahh. more like mehh. about time. he is 79 and has too much money and influence to meddle with democratic politics.pango
    • ever thought public transit sucks? they are partially to blame cuz they spend a lot of money to defund public transit.pango
    • 69% of american thinks climate change is happening. yet 53% of house representatives denies climate change.pango
    • also a third of the house of representatives signed the pledge like below to AFP. which is funded by koch.pango
    • https://www.desmogbl…pango
    • they've also donated close to 12 millions to politicians in 2018 along. its all so very democratic when few people has so much money influence.pango
    • happy nahh. about time is all. not like anything is gonna change. someone else will take take his place.pango
    • WTF does the Dakota pipeline have anything to do with you being "part Blackfoot" Holy hell.BonSeff
    • @BonSeff You're expecting sense from a loon? Just reply "yawn" and hope that he isn't armed and loaded IRL.garbage
    • pango what attack ads go to funding nova or any of the cancer and medical focuses. they do disagree and fund politicians they think will make for more a freedeathboy
    • society. did they back trump or even johnson? there is nothing wrong in campaign finance and quite acceptable since those with the most have all to losedeathboy
    • they have done so much more than people know because they cared more about work than the PR for it. I have much respect for their work despite giving 2 shits ofdeathboy
    • of public thoughts. so rich they can buy any opinion and they take that money and give it away without PR releases... as far as climate tax its all a power scadeathboy
    • bonseff you presented the idea indigenous ppl have a more powerful say in dakota related issues did you not?deathboy
    • merely curious if you would think my opinion as a indigenous person to the US merits more regard. guess not which is the way it should bedeathboy
    • there is no special priviledges. indigenous or not. that is equality.deathboy
    • oh yea pango and on the transit stuff what exactly dont you agree with from their libertarian perspective?deathboy
    • should we increase public spending (more tax) on systems that dont work so well when private enterprise is doing better? Why not support private privatedeathboy
    • enterprise where the most are benefitting vs limiting and monopolizing things to thing like SF bartdeathboy
    • do you truley believe the current politicans can shape infrastructure with no experience vs the countless experienced people competeing against one another?deathboy
    • its hard to argue there causes and focus do lil good. They may be forced to back some shit stains to win the philosophical bigger picture here and theredeathboy
    • but without a doubt they have put there money behind the belief that man is best free. and supported goals that further that belief. real action and spendingdeathboy
    • you see far real action and skin in the game of people who bash themdeathboy
    • *far lessdeathboy
    • Hey look, more incoherent ramblings from a very obviously woke individual.garbage
    • deathboy's Blackfoot tribal name is "Long Winded"BonSeff
    • Haha, wow. I was thinking more "Mass Shooter", but that works too.garbage
    • @deathboy That was a joke in poor taste. I honestly think you need to talk to somebody. You don't seem to have your head in the right place.garbage
    • STFU noteboyRamanisky2
    • deflection is strong with these onesdeathboy
    • do the research quit being pawns. have an original thought. insults are so childish. so grow updeathboy
    • evading questions and flagrant character insults only work for the the trump type crowds you know right? Or are you in the same demo?deathboy
    • or is the trump type crowd no different than a liberal AOC crowd. People are largely stupid creatures trying to follow shit and majority doesnt realize itdeathboy
    • hell ram's response is like saying shut the fuck up nigger. Hiding behind a perceived derogatory term.sometimes i think his most vocal critics here are actuallydeathboy
    • people so similar it causes confusiondeathboy

    My buddy Dave down the street lost his wife this week. They've been so kind to me and my dog since moving into this house. They were married 50 years. I asked what I could do, he said bring my dog over more often. Of course. I offered yard work and a couple friends if he needed anything moved around. He said he was going to sell his wife's car. I suggested he take one last road trip with her remains to revisit route 66, which was a story she had told me. Not sure what else I can do or if I should attend the funeral. :(

    • That’s a very kind thing to say and offer.Ramanisky2
    • Defo go to the funeral, he'll appreciate that.
      PhanLo
    • ^ It sounds like you should go to the funeral. You're a good bloke, you cunt.

    • Keep checking in with him is properly the best advice. It can get lonely when you have lost someone, and after 50 years together. That must be really rough.Nutter
    • just be there for himmilfhunter
    • What Nutter said. Often people who lost someone don't dare to reach out for company but would love to just chat or hang around.Longcopylover
    • and bringing your doggo with will certainly bring him joy.Ramanisky2
    • A waitress/friend came to my Dad's funeral back in April. It meant so much to my family. My Mom just knitted a scarf for her and gave it to her this weekend.stoplying
    • That's kind of you. Yes, go to the service. He's asking for your dog, he wants your company. He's also gonna need his own dog now. :(sea_sea
