  2. Fever 1 words sums it up

  3. Who cares !!! Hawaii just happened πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚Dam that’s mest up .

  4. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

  5. I feel sad the the man was buring did he die?

  6. Wow! The size of that "carbon footprint" must've been massive!

  7. So glad that this horrible pagan place is GONE. Horrible things are done here because of lost souls walking in the darkness . May they find Way, the Truth , the Life .

  8. Its a pagan ritual….as in the days of noah God gave them some rain

  9. 20 seconds in and I am already calling BS. "It was like a war zone" HA! "No Public announcement…no way to call…no way to get news…" – False. BMIR 94.5, the radio station for Burning man, was on air the whole time updating people with information, weather reports, and cautions every 20 minutes. "No Infrastructure" – False. Yes, there is no cell service in this area, but as soon as things got sour, Mobile cell towers were brought in, and wifi was broadcast to anyone needing it in 3 key locations. people were sharing water, food, power, and resources all around. The even managed to get trucks in to service Portos in certain key areas. The sensationalism is beyond crazy here. Yes, the Mud was nasty and brought things to a halt – I certainly didn't plan for that – but we adapt and figure it out. if people just listened to advisories and instruction from every official, they would have been just fine…AND most people were provisioned (or should have been) to at least Sunday, and weather reports claimed to clear up by then anyways….which it did. We were only delayed a little more than 24 hours. The man still burned….Heck, a couple of our camp mates were from New Zealand, and they still made their flights home. we still packed up and got out with no issue, and music, parties and cheers still continued…just delayed. There would not have been any concern if people would have just listened to officials, and stayed put. Also, the population numbers were for sure askewed. there were not 70k people there. I was there for the man burn which pretty much everyone attends, and attendance was not even close to half of years past…even accounting for the people that left early. news sensationalism at it's finest.

  10. What a bonehead Kultur those people have become.

  11. Long story short:
    Burning Man just showed up a true nature of people being visited it.
    Just a little of rain and moaning starts to play like perpetual sound.
    Stop visiting this types of acitivities if you can't live while feeling uncomfortable!

  12. Burning Man certainly did nothing to help with climate change, environment concerns, in fact the event just might spike another covid rise

  13. This is disgusting cover Lahaina where there was actually death and it is like a war zone. Cover the fact that they’re letting out nuclear waste water from Fukushima. Would you please cover some real news
