It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Dosr, the microdose scheduling and rationing app so you can maximize your lsd stash
Lol at the one attendee explaining how mud works.
Uncritical support to all antifa geomancers 
This video sparks such joy
Today, "Burning Man."
Tomorrow, "Dehydrated Men."
The fucking 22nd and 25th paragraphs are identical.
CNN is such a fucking pathetic joke. Can't afford editors apparently.
Don’t click CNN links in the Zaslav era.
articles indicate even more rain is coming, and I saw a quote saying the reopening of travel to exit could be "days away".
these people are fucked. what are they shitting and pissing in?
survival protip: if you're ever gonna be anywhere with limited / no infrastructure, glance at a weather forecast. never assume anyone else has.
also: deserts are noted for the severity of their conditions, not their stability. which is why they are not teeming with life in comparison to every other biome. scorching days, freezing nights, flash floods. it's not a neat place to gather in great numbers and chillax. it is an excellent place to accidentally almost die or become a skeleton.
Isn't it attended by a lot techbros and upper middle class people? I'm sure if they are really in serious peril, they'll get air drops. These headlines are just gonna make them seem like a bunch of brave adventurers and they'll be all over the press when they get out.
Tickets alone can go up to $2,750 "plus taxes and fees" and essentially the only way to get there and survive is to bring some kind of RV / camping vehicle set up plus a week of full provisions per person. It's exclusively attended by two groups: people of means and super dedicated wookies who make it their goal of the year (and probably sell drugs on site and shit tbh, not that there's anything wrong with that) to get there.

What the fuck!? That plus the RV need mean that "festival" is basically drawing money from well off people and from people who are too abused to notice they ought to create their own festivals (as plenty of people in Europe and Africa do).
Operating phrase here is "up to".
Nornal tickets for the week are like 550+150 for camping. 5000 people are also given discounted tickets for lime 250 bucks.
Every event ever has an absurdly high top end on VIP tickets lol

Over here we mostly do lotteries at the good festivals which always have the same price for everyone (except for people who help who have to pay less or get free entry). Its around 300$ maximum and sometimes as cheap as 20$ per day (depending on festival).
This skimming the cream thing is a very USA thing to do. I would argue to have 7% of the people (out of 70k) with reduced tickets is another USA thing in which a bit of charity instead of solidarity is used to hide that economic power buys you better positions, nicer entry and such.
However I would accept your argument if 60k do pay much less than 2750$ plus RV cost.
Tonight's hippie drum circle is going to be epic.
Why don't they just be honest with us and rename it "NIMBY Fest"? That's all this is, the only people I've ever known that have gone to this have had rich-ass parents who listen to Joe Rogan podcasts.
Lol. LMAO, even.
fucking burners. Or burnouts, or whatever you call those bougie fucks.
Try THAT 40 miles from a small town.
looks like that burning man protest was unnecessary, nature will heal itself

Extremely underrated post!
Was Burning Man EVER good?
The desert is not amenable to human life?
The whole place is a mud pit. Look at #burningman on whatever social media for examples, rofl
People will be stuck there a while
Meh
