  Are burning man people rich? Not being a smartass, I’m just trying to understand the perception.

    Higher up you were talking about a travel writer marrying a doctor. Those motherfuckers are rich.

    Some yes, some no. There is definitely a large swath of tech bros and influencers, but there are also plenty of working-class people there too. My burner group is just a bunch of kink folks from every income bracket, having a good time. It is very art and music heavy, so normally it is a lot of fun seeing the art and mutant vehicles, then hitting up whatever music happened to be nearby. I prefer smaller regional burns, but there is still something to be said about doing Burning Man. It’s on a whole different scale.

    Generally, they're not. I'd say it's an inclusive crowd that likes to backbite each other. I don't particularly love burners, but this level of distain is ridiculous.

        You should have your mom check your house for lead paint.

        Not really what I'm saying. If you don't know the type, you don't know the type. Bunch of fire spinners and Etsy sellers working middle class jobs.

    Nuance is a dead concept to an online leftist.

    Catch em at a bar and they’re nearly better versions of themselves.

    I don’t take joy in suffering of anyone. My only experience of the Burning man festival is on the hilarious episode of “Malcom in the Middle.” Also, rain in the desert is often a mixed blessing

      I always think of the Reno 911 episode, that was hilarious as well.
