Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

Have you seen the recent demographics for Burning Man?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I haven't. Please enlighten me. Has the underground been stolen by "bohemian" tech bros who want neo-feudalism?

I'm not cool enough to attend burning ban.

Yeah, Burning Man used to be a like, art and tech DIY punk thing. These days, it's a music fest for tech bros and insta influencers.

I once got into an argument on this platform with people defending the average salary at burning man being six figures. They tried to tell me that it didn’t qualify as wealthy because I wasn’t considering that they probably worked in an area with a high cost of living and that probably didn’t leave them with much more disposable income than the people making five figures. I guess annually dumping over 5k on a drug trip vacation where you pretend to be a hippy for a weekend is something even the poor can afford.
