Do you think disrupting an organized protest is inherently egregious?

Carthago delenda est.

Is there anything more "Burning Man" than taking something we've been doing for decades (A FOD walk), giving it a worse name, and bragging about it on some random blog?

I mean, hats off, the author really did nail it. This is as honest as I've ever seen BM get, and the juxtaposition of the unintentionally contrasted with the title makes it even better.

Probably time to reinvent the license plate as a concept; or start spinning up LLC's to put the cars under and just each the extra insurance costs.

Too easy. You just mix all 16 together, chuck them into the machine, take cover, then walk out through the now exploded door/hole.

Bonus points if you convince her to leave, and rig it up right above the door for when she comes back, home alone style.

Show me the incentives and I will show you the outcome.

If you're in a hierarchical structure and someone higher up gives you an ultimatum, your choices are: comply, resist and face consequences, or find subversive, incremental ways to undermine it. None of those are cost-free.

"Fighting" isn't about magic moves that keep everything safe. It's about choosing when and how to accept the risks. Expecting a fight with no threat to your position is cowardice disguised as pragmatism.

You're getting a lot of pushback, but this resonates with me. I guess I have a hard time understanding the value in a "noble departure" rather than just going down swinging.

If a shark was eating me, I wouldn't say "welp I'm boned, better just resign from life". I'd punch the shark, until that shark had to fire me from life.

Maybe from a PR perspective its somehow better? Idk, I don't see it.

I like to save my resignations for the whole "you can't fire me, I quit" part - when the fall is all thats left, it matters a great deal.
