        Funny to see how burning man has changed over the decades. When I first heard about it, it was very anarchist hacker related.

          I think public perception has changed.

          In my circle, the same hairy weirdos are going to dig their shitty playa bikes and solar panels out of a storage locker. The same as they’ve been doing since the early 2000s.

          But people don’t seem to think of it as artsy and counter culture any more. Instead they focus on the rich dudes from Silicon Valley (who were also there in the early 2000s).

              Unauthorized entry is one of the finest tenets of penetration testing, hacking , social engineering and espionage.

              I’m not supposed to be here? Fuck you, I’ll be where I want to be.

              I watched too much defcon one time and there was a job fair that required you have linked in or a portfolio that I couldn’t set up on time. Fuck it, I snuck in with no pass, saw my bud enter legitimately, walked up to him and shook his hand and blended in.

              It was minor, but really fucking fun

        Been to burning man 3 times, there are some trust fund kids but most are middle class and for them they plan and save about 8 months before hand and then suffer the financial consequences of going after for a month or two.

          I’m in the same boat. I went just after uni. It basically ate all my savings and forced me to take a shitty job after, but it was worth it.

          Building weird shit to take to the desert, and seeing all the other weirdos out there was inspiring.

          The arguments about the environmental cost are justified, which makes me sad. I had to fly across a continent and buy all sorts of stupid stuff.

        Nah lmao this is greenscreened. The focus on the foreground doesn’t match the background, and the background is uniformly blurred.

          Could also be AI Blur on a phone or something. I’ve done the same thing in lightroom, I don’t think this is greenscreen nescessarily, the light tech should definetly get a raise if it is.

      in addition to a play on selective/strategic nudity, i find flipping the script/fucking the patriarchic hierarchy to be both arousing and fulfilling as well.

        I think its the selective nudity. I also love socks, thigh highs, fishnets, etc. Some clothes is more attractive to me than full nudity.

      You my friend have a desecration kink, closely related, but not necessarily paired with a degradation kink. Easy litmus test in a less religious context - does the fact that you’re doing that to someone’s daughter/son actually kinda turn you on?

      Man: Here I am, my hand on your thigh. You know me barely at all, yet it seems perfectly natural to me to have my hand there. What’s more, it appears to be equally natural to you, being you don’t seem to mind if it remains there.

      Narrator: It was only then that Venabili actually noticed the hand on her bare thigh. Bare skin in public had somehow lost some of its attractiveness, its sexual quality. It appears to be it’s the hiding from view that is crucial. The young man seemed to sense this too…

      Man: Yet if we were to meet in a more formal setting and you were wearing, for instance, a gown would I dare place my hand on the precise spot of your thigh it now occupies?

      Kink usually involves the sexualizing of things which aren’t normally sexualized. The act in itself can be a turn on.
