      So throw a few people under the bus and use that to make people believe “it is getting better” as you continue to smear shit on yourself.

      This made my brain generate a picture of someone standing naked before a horrified crowd and moaning out, “It’s getting better!” as they smear feces on their body.

        There’s probably a Burning Man joke in there, but since I know that like 85% of attendees are just artists and festival people and not elite tech bros i kinda feel bad for that whole situation

          Yeah, it must be a bummer to get rained out like that. I did a bunch of big Maker Faire for many years, and Burning Man had some appeal, but I don’t like being dirty enough to get over that hurdle to attend. And I’m too broke now anyway.

          Also I have an old VW camper and the alkaline playa dirt would really hurt it. (In fact I think the previous owner did go there a few times, the lock tumblers were jammed full of fine powder when I got it).
