I believe it’s an influencer

Yes. There are many

To me yes.

I believe environment opens people up in a way not found commonly outside of the event.

It’s also a selection bias situation. Those that go are more inclined to bring open maybe.

I grew as a person, made friends, and shared feelings with strangers openly.

10/10 experience.

I agree with that.

I believe there are discounted tickets and even free tickets offered to minority artists as well as grants for art installations.

I guess what I’m saying is the largest qty of people going are of a middle/low income based on the average location called home.

The rich represent a fairly small portion. Some of the people in my camp are way above my income but their generosity was astounding. IMO BM brings out the exceptional qualities of people.

Don’t know the average but I think base price is about $600.

I heard that the main chunk of your tickets cost goes to renting out the desert and paying for the federal Ranger and local police support

Income is heavily affected by cost of living. We pay much higher rates for housing, fuel, and groceries than most of the country. Even in more of the rural areas incomes, generally SKU hire to make living somewhat affordable.

What a wonderful experience.

I loved every minute of the week.

So many genuinely kind and caring people.

The most staggering revelation I had was that many of my preconceived judgments based on stereotypes were way wrong. We camped with people that I would not normally connect with in the default. Some of these people I think have the potential to be strong, lifelong friends

There’s more in common Than there is a difference.

People go on and on about Tech, Bros and sparkle ponies, but scenarios like this, allow those of us, with the best intentions to shine. I hope this year’s Takeaway is more about the strength of unity than anything else

The census data does not support that claim

The majority the incomes are middle class (50,000 - 100,000) and as the majority of the participants are from California, that does not go very far.

Masculinity on sale (lemmy.world)

Just personally disgusting how toughness is now bought these days.

I feel as though American masculinity is so consumer based now. The right hair cut, the right clothes, the right hobbies, the right truck, the right stupid accessories for that stupid truck

For a lack of a better word my mind goes to the name “Weak” when I see these assholes. Weak and dependent on their big oil fetish.

They buy their toughness and masculinity instead of earning it through challenge, personal growth, and respect.

I’m sick of the urban assault vehicle crew. Often the normal thing men do where I live is buy a truck, buy some racks and accessories, but some stupid cooler and strut around like Rambo peacocks.

It’s a terrible image to show kids. I hate it

Rant over

 

It’s awesome to see these stations filled up around town and neighborhoods. Wishing this system and the communities who use them the best of luck!

This one is out side of Humble Sea Brewing. Right next to the rail trail is a great way to encourage safer transportation.

After the article recently about the Canadian police blaming cyclist for “dangerous behavior” I was reminded about this old chart I saw on Reddit.

Ban cars from cities. Heal our communities

It’s so fun to ride with the kids to school and then on into the office. So lucky to still have this opportunity.

Smiles per miles at maximum.
