70000 people are stuck in the mud with only enough food and water to survive until Monday. They have been told to conserve and settle in "someplace safe". Hope some people brought shovels for outdoor toilet digging duty, or could easily also become a dysentery disease outbreak event. Porta potties cannot be emptied because trucks can't get in.

I mean 'Drowning Man' is right there.
CraftyGiant
Everyone I know brings like 3x as much food and water as they actually need, it will be fine. (also the portos ARE being serviced despite rumors to the contrary.

Can confirm. Looks like you pissed of the Imgur circle jerk with facts that are inconvenient for them

Before it was mainstream, it was fun to hear what new artists would go into that place. That was theough DJ’s. I heard that a lot of DJ’s pulled out as soon as it got to popular, Media ruines the niche music world. Have not heard anything good coming out of it since 2013.

My friend went a few times way back, loved it. I can’t imagine him being tempted by what is offered now.

The dj industry is a cyst on the music and performance industry.

Me, not being able to go because I have work to do but also too poor to go at the same time:

You can volunteer. I've never paid to go since 2005

I’d still have to afford all the time not at work, and even if the ticket isn’t free it’s not without cost. All the fluff around the event and culture talk about anti capitalism, peace and love… but are eerily similar to unpaid internships only benefiting the rich and called equal.
isetprettygirlsonfire
Ug, sounds like you get your misinformation about it from imgur more than what really happens. Just like any city there are only a few rich people. Most everyone is working class, welders, carpenters, programmers. You don't get vacation time or any time off?

The neat part is that the playa is alkaline so now the entire surface is covered with mud that causes chemical burn and rust. It's hard to imagine Burning Man becoming more apocalyptic, yet here we are.
ilhares
So Burning Man is.. burning the men? (yes, yes, and the women and children, too)
isetprettygirlsonfire
As a Nevada geologist who has worked for months on that playa, it isn't strong enough to cause skin burns.
CraftyGiant
It's not that alkali, barely above neutral.
isetprettygirlsonfire
Geologist, and. Urner can confirm. So much disinformation on this site
CraftyGiant
I just keep getting downvotes for stating accurate information about the event. It's honestly getting absurd. Imgur is usually better then this.
isetprettygirlsonfire
Pretty standard for imgur these days. Much like the burn, it has been changed by its own popularity forcing it to change
CraftyGiant
The reddit exodus a few months back seems to have changed imgurs userbase for the worse. just like the Digg 2.0 exodus damaged reddit.

Well considering what they did to the climate protestors i say fuck them, burning man has become a gathering of rich kids and media influencers anyway so not much is lost here.
TexanPaul117
And nothing of value was lost
tantallous
they fucked with the climate protestors and nature went hey y'all don't worry i got your back

CraftyGiant
idiot. The climate protestors were rammed by pyramid lake tribal rangers whop have NOTHING to do with burningman.
CraftyGiant
Ah downvoted for stating a fact. Classic internet.
BrickShakes
Dipshit, the burning man morons helped the police.
BrickShakes
They did more than that and you fucking know it. Also muting me because i insulted you back is a bitch coward move.
CraftyGiant
No a couple assholes tried to drag the trailer away well before the tribal rangers showed up, you are proving you know fuck all about this.
isetprettygirlsonfire
That was tribal police that arrested all 5 of the protesters for blocking the road on the reservation. The ones who flew in from across US and malta to protest climate change
BrickShakes
The burning man morons helped the police, they reported it to the police, they gave political cover for the police. They are fucking dipshits and i hope the mud feels nice against their feet right now.
isetprettygirlsonfire
You seem very angry about it. Those protesters were hypocritical dipshits and their protest was a farce, you know it as much as anyone else. And with all of 5 people there, it is a stunt, not a protest. And people are loving the mud that was there (mostly dried up as of this AM) and having a great time.
BrickShakes
Angry ? Not really no. But i do despise copsuckers and cowards who shit talk climate activist from their sofa.
isetprettygirlsonfire
Clearly you are very angry about it. Those roadblocking idiots and their stunt were a joke. Hahaha, everyone is laughing at them and how lame and impotent their stunt was
