The Eplaya structure reminds me of Craigslist or Drudge Report, which still keep their 1990's design and aesthetic, which doesn't resonate with the kind of burners we see waving their phones in the air at the man burn or at million dollar mutant vehicles blasting generic DJ riffs that must have drops every few minutes. The "default world" entering the playa was guarenteed when the first cell phone signal was discovered in the playa airspace. The "'new burners" weened on instant dopomine hits, have no time to learn what eplaya has to offer. Sad....

You could travel to the USA as a tourist and not worry about being deported El Salvador.

We did not worry about the USA invading Canada.

I used to not worry about my American partner travelling in the USA.

:shock:

I trusted the human race to notice anything at all. I stand corrected.

Hello, you are under-mind control or just living like animals.

Like everyone, like you, like predestination. With death to shorten things up.

I'm going with both, your under-mind control, and you are an animal.

I can prove this.
