You have to laugh … I remember Glastonbury, up to my knees in mud - it’s all part of the fun. Having said that, it’s unlikely turn into a survival situation in a field in Somerset, so not really that comparable …

          Who else has been confused by seeing the word “playa” in news and memes in the context of Burning Man? I thought they were talking about the fuckbois at first

          I really wonder how the Spanish word “beach” became “dried up lake” in English. Spanish speakers must be very confused. It’s like ハンドル in Japanese. It’s basically a Japanese pronunciation of “handle” but they use it to mean “steering wheel”.

        Jokes that appear to have gone over your head aside, deserts are usually dry. In a lot of examples, a sudden flood happens, but the desert is dry the other 99% of the time.

        I’m not making the argument that our climate is neither fucked nor unpredictable as a result, but what point were you trying to make?
