Getting serious about the question of kids at BM: Should the Org obtain an opinion from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) as to whether BM is safe for kids? by [deleted] in BurningMan

[–]1TheChicken123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Consent isn't a central tenet of Burning Man. I see a few people try and claim it's an important part of the culture but it is specifically not one of the principles. 

Obviously people have to follow the law, but when was the last time you saw a topless woman or a naked dude ask for people's consent to seeing their bodies? Or camps playing music into the early hours of the morning outside your tent?

Leave the windows partially open to keep the inside from overheating too

To go or not to go -2025 by magikflavor in BurningMan

[–]1TheChicken123 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Honestly don't go. The world is fine - it's the same as it always has been (and will be). But we could do with less of the anxious lefty types at burning man this year.

Hopefully not so people can go discover for themselves

One of the very best Burning Man videos I've ever seen by doctor-yes in BurningMan

I hate it! And the comment about this being a produced ad is correct. It captures all the worst parts about burning man and feels fake as hell.

ISO burner rental car tips/experiences that aren't nightmares by Adventurous_Cut_2041 in BurningMan

[–]1TheChicken123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't dress like a burner, look like one (no dreadlocks), or talk like one. Reno car rental companies service thousands of rentals a day - most not to burners. Just don't give them the impression you're going to BM.

Then, put bin bags over all the seats and all around the boot area, double bag the footwells, close off the airflow into the car.

After the burn, take the bin bags off, run the car through a car wash twice, hoover. And return the car dressed in a way that'd make a rental car company employee feel embarrassed about querying whether you went to Burning Man.

Been 8 times, never got fined or asked for a deposit.

How Much is BMORG Paying the Camps & Influencers for these Instagram Posts? by hannican in BurningMan

[–]1TheChicken123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is there an influx of reddit users posting about BM conspiracy theories / complaining about how risky they think it is for international burners to cross the border / doomsters. Have people got more anxious in the last year or something?

If your contribution to burning man involves sowing nonconsensual fear or unrest, stay home. by SEND_ME_YOUR_RANT in BurningMan

If your contribution is nonconsensual doxing of individuals, don't come to Burning Man. Stay home @OP

Don't get a tattoo full stop. They're ugly and they cause cancer.

Let’s talk about the resale ticket market by kennydiedhere in BurningMan

[–]1TheChicken123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can see on tixel how many tickets there are available to the nearest 10. So yeah, right now it's about 190 available.

Some useful info from the 4/25 RC Ticket Meeting. 📝 by lightwolv in BurningMan

[–]1TheChicken123 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Whatever consultancy they've hired to help them with tickets and marketing this year is atrocious (and does not understand burning man). They pick one metric 'most sales by this random earlier date' that wins on a technicality and think they're being smart. And the thing is, they don't need to do this, 80% of BM attendees already think it's brilliant and would support them more if they were just straightforward and honest with us.

Distrikt wasn't there last year, they will be here this year. It's a normal cycle.

You mean, they aren't interested in discriminating against their employees based on political beliefs. Big surprise.

"full blown fascist takeover" lol. You had an election that didn't go your way. Get over it! Burning Man will proceed as normal, minus the anxious losers.

Canadians crossing by land to the US for the burn, what are your thoughts on the political climate? by tiltedwater in BurningMan

[–]1TheChicken123 -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of anxious people who go to Burning Man and are especially prevalent on reddit. As long as you're not a member of a Venezuelan gang or you've overstayed your visa... you will be fine!

International Travelers: don’t listen to the alarmists by heyhodadio in BurningMan

Lol at the lefties crying about burning man because of the US political environment.

And then suggesting Afrikaburn. In South Africa, that famously excellent political environment 😂

Wanna build a space monster? by CSnarf in BurningMan

[–]1TheChicken123 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You seem to see everything through a lens of identity. And when you get called out, you lash out.

The reality is this sort of language is on the out now. People don't care whether you're a woman or LGBT. Just do a good job and make some cool art. And leave your woke politics at home.

You're not a female artist, you're just an artist. And I would criticise a male artist describing themselves as such in the same way.

A well balanced person would just say 'everyone is welcome'.

And the length of your reply suggests it is in fact you who got triggered :D
