  • Comments generate content. Content is ruining lemmy? Fascinating.

  • The 1% of good cops are either killed in the line of duty, fired or killed by other police. Making 100% of the cops bad.

    All cops are bastards.

  • If you donโ€™t have the right gear and attitude, youโ€™re going to have a bad time at burning man to begin with.

    Thereโ€™s a certain type of burner that shows up for the weekend and leaves. Other types of burners (DPW) actually setup the city and tear it down after the event, living on the playa for months.

    So yeah, itโ€™s a spectrum, for sure.

  • My cats used to be indoor-outdoor cats until one day the apartment complex manager knocked on my door and returned my cats, saying they werenโ€™t allowed outside. I was pretty upset but I complied. I later learned tht indoor cats live on average about 11 years, compared to outdoor cats which live on average about 4 years.

    Iโ€™m not telling you want to do with your cat, but I am saying that on top of the usual risks for outdoor cats, you also have to contend with assholes who will try to kill your outdoor cats too.

    Food for thought.

  • Egh, thereโ€™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? Thatโ€™s reddit.

    Better content? Better user experience? Something that wonโ€™t be fucked over by the whim of one person? Thatโ€™s lemmy.

    Differnโ€™t strokes for differnโ€™t folks.

  • Donโ€™t feel bad. They had a great time and have lots of stories to tell.

    Going to burning man is never easy. Youโ€™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 itโ€™s not all red. If itโ€™s red, BLM wonโ€™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.
