saw pics

It's literally a reflective ball, though

I don't see the artistic value

And that's not me being ignorant of art, I'm a singer/songwriter

Description on indiegogo is really pretentious too

Idk, I might swing through Burning Man if I'm ever stateside but honestly yeah it looks like I'd get annoyed

Awesome.

Hope this helps, Tim. ;)

burning man used to be cool

its was this anti establishment thing where ppl could do fun shit

Quiznos shot a commercial there

rich ppl show up in campers with AC

its as establishment as it comes now

Yeah :/

It's when things go mainstream

ppl who go to burning man are sheep pretending to be shepherds

The music that comes from these kinds of gatherings are still good.

Goa, PsyTrance, etc

I like the thought that alternatives to Burning Man will pop up as a result of Burning Man becoming too mainstream and capitalized to hell.

@Timcast didn't it used to be free and now it's pay to enter?

not sure

I should do some research on Burning Man

as long as Ive known about it has been dominated by the type of people who go to spencers and buy "nerd" hats

Yes

I think thats the best way to describe how I feel about it

its the "nerd hat" equivalent of a festival

hahaha

$390 per ticket and $80 vehicle pass

That's sad I always think of the better days of Jimi Hendrix when I think of it

So Burning Man is TomorrowLand for hippies.

It's not that now though

got it.

is that like glastonbury?

@4zehorde literally corporate sponsors

perhaps having a venue only accessible on foot would be a defense against commercialization. like a plateau or something.

Says it second paragraph

From what I'm hearing, Burning Man to actual artistic freedom/individuality is like what Five Seconds Of Summer are to punk music

😂 😂 😂

Wish I had money to sponsor, but I'm starting university soon so funds are low

University is way to expensive

@tmg copper it says those are examples of things they *don't* do

"Examples of revenue that Burning Man opts out of:"

Damn I guess I read to quick

I Am Fake News

feel like glastonburys kinda lost it... there was 135k people there last year

How the world has fallen...

world? or west?

some countries seem to be on an upwards trend

I mean, to be fair there's still good artistic events. Metal concerts are still booming

True

seems like the so called "culture war" is trying to change value from capital to social status

feels like that study about baby girls looking more towards people and baby boys looking more towards objects and systems might be relevant

A lot of people are being lifted out of poverty apparently.

I don't think everything is falling.

maybe with more women in high places the west shifts from valuing capital to more of a social status kinda thing being more important

until its somewhere in the centre

which is where a communist system would work better for them... where money is less important than status

the meritocracy comes from who merits higher social merit

or "becomes" rather

"If you want a vision of the future, imagine a finger clicking on a downvote button - forever."

- a pessimist

Why does youtube even have thumbs down in the comment section anymore

That stopped working years ago, it's like holy shit

Just remove it.

Probably as a placebo so that people will feel less inclined to write comments to people they disagree with

Or maybe it counts as something of a soft-report with people who consistently get tons of downvotes becoming more likely to be banned

But yeah, it's dumb. I really dislike the whole comment rating thing to begin with

Well.

I think there should be some form of downvoting.

Because I do like upvoting. Just not... when it slants so far one way.

How do you correct idiocy when it has 700 thumbs up. It biases whoever sees it

Everyone knows that whoever writes the biggest wall of text is the one who's the most right.

I think that indicates who is wrong, usually.

When you respond with 3 lines

And then you get 3 paragraphs

They are ALWAYS shoving words in your mouth.

Go into the future with this theory in mind

See how it always turns out to be true.

Tim hates mint chocolate chip unsub noe

Is it good? Never tried

Every YouTube update makes the site worse

How has the market not killed it yet?

Come to Bitchute. I've moved 80% of my viewing there.

🤔can we get PewDiePie on board 🤔

The market hasn't killed it yet coz it's not profitable. YT loses millions a year.

🤔🤔🤔

Are there thots on bitchute?

Google pay for it for all the info they can get from it. They are pouring money into AI. Can you think of a place you'd rather train a AI.

And Susan sells your DNA

Or her sister 🤔

Haven't looked.

The one that owns the DNA shit

Should I get back on twitter? Since they are starting to stop shadow banning...

OK, mint chocolate chip is pretty good, but it pales in comparison to peppermint icecream

Our program is almost done if anyone wants a looksee

Twitter sucks
