Oregon Trail LARPers are weird.

Strongly support this raw water trend. There are too many rich assholes driving regular people to ruin or exile in Silicon Valley. This should hopefully thin the herd a little and make rentals affordable for working folk so that they don't need to sleep in tents while their billionaire bosses get rich off their labour. Now the rich assholes can die of dysentery and Burning Man will get cool again.

I seriously read that entire article with my mouth hanging open.

These are all people who grew up in cities, right? Who don't know what your pure local spring smells like when the farmer upstream finishes spreading manure on his field in the spring.

This causes me pain in my biology degree.

Sometimes I'm curious about smaller Burning Man knockoffs, which do exist, but...I dunno. It's probably not for me in a bunch of ways, but the core idea of stepping outside norms, while overstated into a kind of gross teenage libertarian bullshit fountain, is a little bit interesting to me.

Also raw water lulz. Silicon Valley, you do not disappoint.
