You have to laugh … I remember Glastonbury, up to my knees in mud - it’s all part of the fun. Having said that, it’s unlikely turn into a survival situation in a field in Somerset, so not really that comparable …
The weather-related disruptions have caused suspension of the cleaning and emptying of thousands of portable toilets.
This sounds nightmarish. People will start avoiding the portable toilets and it will be even worse.
Do they burn a new man every year or do they burn the same person annually?
It’s short for “Burning Manny”. There’s one guy, Manuel Asada, and they burn him every year. It’s cool though, he’s into it.
Do you mean this guy? https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Manny_Garcia
I have so Manny questions…
Kind of ironic considering the climate protests on the way in.
How is that ironic?
A festival shooing away protestors protesting climate change and then that festival experiencing an extreme weather event because of climate change
Ah, gotcha. I missed the story. Still not strictly ironic, but I get what you meant now.
Is there a word for it? When I posted it I was hoping someone might correct me :)

Not at all. That’s how it works. More climate change, more random weather events. Or if you like things simple “it rained because of climate change”.
Burning money.
This is all rich peoples problems now in a pointless and drug induced search for some form of fulfillment, but just another festival chaser with money.
I don’t know whether you’re referring to just the attendees or the artists as well, but I have a group of friends presenting an installation this year (Conversations With A Squad), they’re middle-class for the most and do this out of sheer passion.
Now I cannot assure you with the utmost certainty that drugs won’t be involved at all
they’re middle-class for the most and do this out of sheer passion.
so rich people. thanks for confirming.
By “rich” I assumed bourgeoisie. But I guess everybody is somebody else’s rich people.
By “rich” I assumed bourgeoisie.
whats that anymore??
What is burning Man? I know it’s a festival of some sorts that’s done in a desert, but that’s about all I know.
What happens there?
Rich people travel 1000+ kilometres to gather around and pretend to be not rich and just like common folks! This is my understanding as someone who isn’t american.
Also drugs. Lots of drugs.
Also sex. dusty, dusty sex
