wonder how far down the water table is, perhaps they could all dig with their hands a shaft at a 45 degree angle like Lemmings

i was reading about burning man. they take in over $40mil in tickets, where the fuck does all that money go? then after $$ tickets "this is a consumer free zone no money is exchanged" and fucking suitable you shits sold everyone out at the gate. i first heard of burning man literally 20 years ago via some random guy's trip vid on justin.tv and wanted to go someday... until i heard elon musk and mark zuckerbird both go
"just walked 5 miles in the mud out of burning man with chris rock and a fan picked us up" --diplo
so traumatic for those little shits to have to live like a normal person for a few hours. at least they can spin it into media coverage. ASS. holes

I think media is making it worse than it is. Personally I think calling it a festival isn’t really the right term, maybe in a broad sense but it’s nothing thing like Coachella or Glastonbury. And I think it gives the wrong impression. I had to look into it to gain understanding myself.… music is a huge part and focus, but art both as a physical thing and a personal experience make up majority of the vibe, community , religion- tho not any specific denomination, and also fashion and creativity, resilience and self reliance. Those are the heart of it- however trendy and fad like it’s become aside.
It started in 1886? I believe and In ‘04 they adopted the 10 principals -radical inclusion -gifting -decommodification -radical self reliance -radical self expression -communal effort -civic responsibility -leave no trace -participation -immediacy
All of which are defined on their own terms and may not mean traditionally what you’d expect. It is very much a unique experience and event; which may share touches of similarity with many different things, festivals, communal living, environmentalism.. but really it ends up being a central hub for people from all different. Aspects of life to gather and have this shared experience and live outside traditional structure for a week.
So inconvenient and unusual as the anount of rain may be (3 months worth the first day) ; it’s all part of the experience. People adapt and change plans and roll with it making the best of the situation. The radically self reliant and leaving no trace are big factors; no trace being why access and vehicles and bikes were haunted so as not to hurt the plya; and why people are “stuck” .. reality is they were merely asked to respect the rules set forth and most did so bc they believe in the principles. There no fence keeping them in; many people walked the 6 miles and caught rides, the ones that stayed made do and the sense of community is what’s making it go smoothly .

may the mud wizard of lützerath guide them
well said big, its pretty much the impression that i have from it,
news and social medias focus usually is to find the little pieces of shit within the raisins.
also, generally speaking, people who go into the desert, prepare to go into the desert, where water shortages and floods are the 2 most common causes of death, so, everyone knows that. how is anyone suprised?
of course i hope no one dies on their trip into the wild.
anyone seen hal and his gnomes?
