what are you doing in my sewer?!

“Based landlords” hate this one weird trick!

Dumb argument is dumb. We need to defederate the internet! LAN not WAN!

Sand belongs on the ground and in our chips, not in our lungs.

How am I going to go fishing now?!

Aquifers! Aquifers all over the land!

sounds al dente!

I’m trying

C is like G but without -

I don’t like seeing something on the internet. PLEASE CHANGE THE INTERNET FOR ME. kthxbai

All cops are bastards.

That’s a fucking cutie right there!

Egh, there’s reasons for that, pardner! Lemmy ask you this: which site does better: a company that hires developers and system operators to keep a site running, or a bunch of volunteers running their own instances?

The answer of course is: define better.

Better stability? better features? That’s reddit.

Better content? Better user experience? Something that won’t be fucked over by the whim of one person? That’s lemmy.

Differn’t strokes for differn’t folks.

And you sound like an idiot.

Why waste your time here, then? There’s a whole reddit.com to explore!

Very much so. Burners are probably laughing at the overreaction

Don’t feel bad. They had a great time and have lots of stories to tell.

Going to burning man is never easy. You’re survival camping in the desert. Burners are ready for a lot of things.

Alarmist title. Burners gunna burn. Media likes to make people think thousands of people were stranded, at risk, and that this is a major fiasco.

This was a bit of rain. BLM shut gate again.

The big deal will be the clean up. Watch for the moop map, and hope it’s not all red. If it’s red, BLM won’t grant a permit for next year.

MOOP is Matter Out Of Place. Each part of burning man is cleaned again and again, and the final report is the moop map. Green = good. red = bad.

Anytime! I should also clarify, “fuck your burn” means what it sounds like, but it’s also a pretty common thing to hear at the event. That’s not because everyone’s sarcastic or everyone’s mean. It’s that everyone’s everyone and that means what it means.

I’ll say that when it rains at the event it is a magical experience. Imagine that you’ve been in the desert for days, you’re dusty as hell and tired, hot, dirty. You long for a shower or running water maybe… and all of the sudden, you get a fine mist or a little bit of rain and you hear people start making noise and dancing in the rain.

This much water is obviously different, but there’s this sense of being in this predicament together and the community itself is built on giving, so likely others are helping where they can. In the absolute worst case scenarios, they can air lift people out of the event to a hospital in reno. I think for the most part this is just a big story for people to tell.

Also, sorry I just read that someone died at the event. Sadly this happens sometimes, for various reasons. I’ll say that during the big burn, there’s a group of volunteers who’s job it is to surround the fire, facing the crowd and physically take down anyone who runs toward the fire in an attempt to end their life.

Fuck your burn!

It’s not a tragedy, it’s life on the playa. Every participant knows this. The back of the ticket states that you could die out there. Part of it is survival. Radical self reliance.

These aren’t opinions, these are facts. Radical self reliance is one of the 10 principals of burning man.
