This line is so perfectly on the nose it could be in a McSweeney's article and yet here it is in reality. We are truly on the weirdest timeline.
- bredren 22d agoI like how somehow this was the final straw.
- eclipticplane 22d agoMaybe he forgot to submit his PTO into Workday.
- throwup238 22d agoMany Burning Man guides, including the original arctic monkey guide that I first read about 20 years ago, specifically warn against making any life altering decisions for weeks after Burning Man. Decompression is a bitch when coming down from half a dozen psychedelics.
- phrotoma 22d agoWell shit. I'm a huge fan of the band Artic Monkeys but I know nothing about festival guides. Is there a connection?
- flobosg 22d agoNo. In this case “Arctic Monkey” is just the pseudonym used by the guide writer.
- prox 22d agoI have seen way too many people in my surroundings go off their rockers after too many ayahuasca trips, especially if they do it in a short time frame, they get emotionally unregulated.

- booty 22d agoFor me, it's a big task just decompressing from a "normal" fun weekend convention where I've done nothing more than light drinking. I imagine decompressing from something like Burning Man would be even more intense... even without psychedelics. (I know psychedelics are obviously a thing at Burning Man, but I don't know if it's 25% or 50% or 75% or 99.99% of people using them...) As a side note, I know somebody who permanently changed their gender identity after a mushroom trip revelation. I've always wondered how long they waited after the trip to "finalize" their decision. (FWIW, that was years ago and it seems like it was indeed the right choice for them)
- hodgesrm 22d agoGiven the long lines and the mud this year my "idea" would be to skip future festivals.
- jmathai 22d agoI just came here to say that I tried setting Wordpress up for someone a couple weeks ago and the entire admin experience felt like someone designed it WHILE AT burning man.
