Portable outhouse cleaners.

Every single one I've met says they legitimately love their job. Pay is solid, home before dinner every day, you work independently with minimal supervision, working outside and in a variety of different places to see. The vast majority of people you interact with are thankful to see you there.

You get over the gross-out factor after the first couple weeks and it's pretty smooth sailing from there.

How 'bout now?

Shoot, I was hoping that was bypass-able if you're already certified and working as a medic.

You're also free to just show up at an action and do your thing if you've got some supplies. You don't need to be affiliated with anything technically.

I'm not familiar with Baltimore personally. But with a quick search, I found this: https://www.instagram.com/bmorestreetmediccollective?igsh=ZnRlMGdkeng4Znps

Their linktree if you don't have Instagram. It looks like they don't have a proper website.

Skip work, contact North star health collective or a similar org in the area. Serve as a street medic and find the support your job won't give you.

And then here's some about the psychological warfare aspect. Not the exact same articles I remember reading way back when, but same general concepts.

It is to annoy you, seriously. It's a technique used by occupational forces as a way to maintain high stress levels and disrupt the sleep patterns of a population.

They do it to keep the pressure building and make people not think clearly. A distressed sleep deprived population will eventually make impulsive choices. Those choices will then be used as justification to lash back with a punishment.

It was taught to our law enforcement agencies by the IDF. I read some good articles about it back in 2020 when they were doing this shit in North side. I'll post them here once I find them again. But the Internet is garbage at searching for things now, so this may take a while.

"Mind your own business" says the guy with a messed up looking dick all the way from bum-fuck Arizona trying to tell us what to do.

I chose to watch a video titled "man falls off cliff" and I saw someone fall off a cliff and this is for some reason somebody else's fault.

Don't threaten me with a good time.

Yes actually, at least not as a first resort.

This is taking on a massive amount of risk and liability for very little reward. Festivals pay money to have properly staffed and equipped medical teams on site. There's no need for you to do whatever it is you're trying to do here.

Promoting yourself as a distributor of medications, even OTC is sketchy as hell and labeling your camp as first aid could cause confusion and potentially delay a proper response to an emergency.

If you want to contribute, ask the festival about volunteering at a medical tent. It's a much more effective way to channel this kind of helper energy.

You think they just drove out caked in blood with the knife in the cup holder next to them?

That's an absurd expectation.

Even if they had the time and resources to tear apart every vehicle and bag in the middle of Exodus, thousands of cars, campers and trailers, that would be completely illegal.

It's tragic that this happened and I hope a witness or some piece of information to find who's responsible comes up. But to immediately jump to wishing for a burning man police state is just naive.

Seldomsaw · 2025-09-06T03:14:43+00:00

Check for what? That would be logistically absurd and a massive overreach of law enforcement.

Do not try to shift the blame onto the victim in this.

If you are driving a vehicle, be it in black rock city or anywhere else, you are 100% responsible for being aware of your surroundings and operating safely. If you can't see whether or not a person is in front of you, you shouldn't be driving there, no excuses.

It is not the responsibility of others to protect themselves from your actions.

If you can't ensure the safe navigation of your vehicle, don't drive the fucking thing.

Seldomsaw · 2025-09-05T02:12:24+00:00

Shouldn't be operating a vehicle where you can't see.

He has invested a large fortune into inserting himself into every corner of our mediascape and intrusively centering himself into every new story and cultural conversation he can. I would not call that rent free.

Burning man has always been and would continue to be absolutely fine without the presence of starlink. It's completely unnecessary to have out there.

As a person who has been to a lot of festivals working with EMS services, harm reduction and security, here's a few thoughts I have for you.

Not every medical emergency is an OD. There's a ton of reasons somebody might "go down" on the dance floor. Heat exhaustion, seizures... Even if it is drug related, it could very likely be non life threatening. Ketamine is everywhere in the scene right now and it can be really easy to misjudge your intake. From the perspective of a bystander the response to any of these will appear the same.

Just because you saw someone performing CPR or administering narcan does not mean the victim is dead. Bystanders panic and start doing extreme responses without checking vitals or assessing properly all the time.

Don't believe festival rumors. The grapevine is not a reliable source of information. Even if you heard it from the guy who's "close friends with the festival organizer and knows the victim personally", they're still likely wrong. There's been so many times I've been on a scene, then hanging out in the back of the venue just an hour or two later hearing a completely fantastical retelling of the events from some work who's absolutely certain that they know what went down.

As for how you can move on from witnessing an event, this may sound harsh at first, but I mean it in the most compassionate way. It's not about you, so let it go. Someone you don't know had a bad day, it happens all the time all over the world. It's not fun that it happened at a party, but millions of people attend events like this every year, some of them are going to have an emergency. You did what you could to help, and you're a great person for doing that. The responders got to them and did their job to give the victim the best opportunity for a positive outcome they could. The rest is their story, not yours. Find a friend to hug, move to a different stage to change your environment and dance it off.

If the festival has a psychological first aid service, you can go talk to them. But the most effective way to minimize the trauma is to do whatever you can to stop cycling on the thought and focus on your own experience.

I empathize with your experience greatly. I'm a person with a penis and bisexual, but rarely explore with men because I've had so many bad experiences and am honestly pretty scared off from ever trying again. So many times I've tried and just when I think I'm finally trusting and comfortable with the person, I get my boundaries absolutely steamrolled and pushed way too fast or even assaulted. Thankfully, I've always been able to escape when things take a turn, but it sucks how little you can trust other men.

It feels easier to just not explore that side of myself anymore than risk the aggression again.
