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.
Ebola was always a fucking stupid ass red flag and made me question any data coming out of bm.
Remember when a nurse helping with ebola in Africa came back to the US when she was infected? It was a fucking national news story for weeks. Like wall to wall coverage. I feel like she had military escorts and all that.
Ebola just doesn’t show up in the middle of the Nevada desert.
There should be a website that collects all the false claims journalists publish and list it under their names/faces. Maybe if more of them were shamed for lying and poor journalism they would stop doing it.
I saw this whole thing as wannabe environmental cool kids panicked when water fell from the sky.
I’m wondering how many of them deny climate change.
🎵 Beautiful disaster
🎵 Flyin’ down the street again
🎵 I tried to keep up
🎵 You wore me out and left me ate up
🎵 Now I wish you all the luck
🎵 You’re a butterfly in the wind without a care
🎵 A pretty train crash to me and I can’t care
🎵I do, I don’t, whatever
I feel bad but they should have not went in the first place.
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.
Glad to see this sub being as shitty and utterly irrelevant to tech the same as the OG. What a garbage and worthless article.
But hey, it’s just reddit that has a bot problem 🤷♂️
Why waste your time here, then? There’s a whole reddit.com to explore!
Egh, I’d love for this place to be successful. I just already see it failing.
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.
It is a great example of liberal hypocrisy. They set up a city in the middle of a desert. Drive SUVs and trucks out to it. Create a bunch of trash, and burn some shit.
Just like how every rich liberal douche says they want homeless shelters/outreach and affordable housing, but it cant be anywhere near their property.
You’re conflating liberals with nimbys and capitalists.
And you sound like an idiot.
