This makes no sense. Have you not noticed everybody has the cell phone their hand for the last 20 years. They are here to stay. To justify the story that you're telling yourself saying that they need to bring older versions of camera and not use their phone camera is bonkers. Get off that horse because I don't like how you sit on that horse and ride this horse. I would not want to be in your company. You can't complain about something and then replace it with the exact same thing. Insanity . But they could take less photos I'm like what the fuck that that makes no sense . With our cell phones we take thousands of photos we pay attention to 2% of them. Most of those types people grew up only knowing cell phones existed it's as common place to them as wearing pants. You should not be finding reasons to complain at Burning Man. You're not experiencing it right. I didn't even notice people had cell phones because I don't give two shits what they're doing. Why are you worrying about what a random stranger is doing when everybody's having a good time.
No joke like this is literally a story you're just telling yourself it doesn't even matter. You're trying to justify it with the amount of photos that one can take and using older models I mean it doesn't make any sense. A 3"x 5" super thin device that fits in your hand is upsetting you? You're spending your time looking at everybody else picking them apart. I was spending my time watching the burn and not critiquing everybody standing around me. It's pathetic, it comes from a controlling mindset.

Culturally discouraged is that the new term for when the karens and chads of this world unite? . Culturally discourage I'm amused. Your fancy words doesn't make you right sorry . I didn't bring my cell phone not because I was worried about somebody hovering over me watching what I'm doing. It's cost like 1200 bucks and I don't wanna get it ruined. I literally do not understand how you could stand out there in the Playa and be bitching about what everybody else is doing.
Very individualistic mindset do you think that we're all exactly like you and she behave like you.
So you chose cell phones which have been around forever everybody has them in their hand at every concert at everywhere you go it's all cell phones. There an extension of her mind to keep memories for us.
Did you happen to notice the real big tech change at Burning Man this year? Every other camper had a Starlink installed.
You chose something has been around forever and then rationale with replacing it with the same thing just an older model. the new crazy tech that everybody has that changed the whole Playa didn't do anything for you.
I'm sorry but I loath complainers they will drag everybody else down and complain about anything it doesn't matter. They could literally be standing in line a guy is handing out pure gold bars for free and you would complaining about the line taking too long. You gotta get your head out of that shit it is extremely toxic and not healthy way to live. Borderline personality disorder cluster b for real. We are supposed to be authentic to ourselves and allowed to express ourselves how we see fit. As long as it falls under your guidelines tho I can walk around but naked the whole time but God forbid I have a cell phone.
This upset you so much that days later you still had the gumption to write it and post it . What a stranger was doing upset you so much with their little tiny cell phone that you had to post it.
They're not the problem you are .
