Re: Burning Man is HELL

It’s not He’ll unless someone moves a generator next to your campsite. Someone died a few years ago when they went to sleep in their carwith the AC on and it sucked in carbon monoxide. It’s not He’ll, it’s overcrowded, hard to find a good campsite location. I used to camp near all the sound camps on...

Re: The WMF starts CHARGING MONEY for its "service"

Haha, I made a good faith donation to the Wikimedia Foundation of $6.66 with a promise to donate more and leave a legacy if they unblock me!

Re: Research Article: Wikipedia’s Intentional Distortion of the History of the Holocaust

More “intentional distortion” of Holocaust? An article about a Jewish skull collection: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_skull_collection

The original author was a strange character too:
