Okay apparently I saw a Photoshop and no one has put the G yet. Still, the implication is already completed. Its like hanging a poster. The second thumbtack really seals the deal.

My friend and I used to prank each other.

One day he left his car at my house to go somewhere with another friend and he left me his keys in case it needed to be moved.

I had a few hours to work with so I came up with a plan.

First I downloaded a song; I Want It That Way by Backstreet Boys. Using an editor I copied just the chorus to a file. I put a 60-minute cassette in the tape recorder and put the chorus on followed by 15 minutes of silence and kept doing that to fill the tape.

I grabbed his keys, a portable tape player, the Backstreet Boys, and some tools and went to work.

I removed his car radio from the dash and stuck the tape player up in the dash and using a voltage regulator I tapped the "key on" power wire that goes to his radio. I put the tape player in continous play mode and adjusted the volume low to where it was barely audible. I stuck the radio back in the dash and went inside for a celebratory drink.

Here's what happens: any time he's driving at 15 minute intervals "I Want It That Way" would come from somewhere but because it's only a couple seconds you can't locate WHERE it is coming from.

I let a week go by and then I visit with him for beers. Eventually I ask him if he likes Backstreet Boys and he just glares at me silently for a good long moment and says "You motherfucker."

"Big tech has faced repeated accusations of bias and censorship, but one platform has escaped much scrutiny: Wikipedia.


The online encyclopedia, which claims "anyone can edit", is the 13th most popular website in the world, according to Alexa's web rankings. Google gives it special placement in search results.

But critics – including Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger – tell Fox News that many Wikipedia pages have become merely left-wing advocacy essays.

Wikipedia pages related to socialism and communism contain stark examples.

The two main pages for "Socialism" and "Communism" span a massive 28,000 words, and yet they contain no discussion of the genocides committed by socialist and communist regimes, in which tens of millions of people were murdered and starved.

"The omission of large-scale mass murder, slave labor, and man-made famines is negligent and deeply misleading," economics professor Bryan Caplan, who has studied the history of communism, told Fox News.

It ignores a man-made [jew-made] famine in which Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin commandeered the food from regions like Ukraine and Kazakhstan, leaving millions to starve to death even as the Soviet Union exported grain to foreign countries.

The two main Socialism and Capitalism pages also fail to note any of the atrocities committed by other socialist and communist regimes, from Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, Cambodia, or North Korea, among others.

Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger says that the deck is too stacked on Wikipedia for it to ever be salvaged, and he is now working on a protocol called "Encyclosphere" to facilitate other encyclopedias." [More]:

Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link.. If you already know what's going on, you probably don't need to. That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Upgoat.net go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, ask a regular participant (such as @TheRealBuddha or myself)

If you already know what's going on, you probably don't need to click any of those links. You can still visit to see if any changes have been made, as that's also where we kept the archives and have a second forum.

By the way, we're down to just two of us. If you want to help, let us know.

I think people do not grasp the impact of this much money being cut off and it's wonderful.

It was said that in the 1980s the billions of money made from cocaine imports built all the major skyscrapers in Miami and many other cities.

I would expect hundreds of billions of dollars being cut off from a specific group of insider lefties to affect many areas that they frequent and spend money and many housing areas that they live in etc in a similar fashion.

The truth is their activities have been artificially inflated by hundreds of billions of dollars a year from what looks like at least a decade or more.

And it's awesome that it's all being taken away.
