Little puppet made of pine, awake. The gift of life is thine.
my pineal is throbbing just hearing this
Yeah that's all complete and utter bollocks. Do a bit of research.
Rome, 22 Nov. (Adnkronos) - The name ''Pinocchio'', chosen by Carlo Collodi for his famous puppet, does not hide either symbolic or allegorical meanings, but is only an explicit reference to the ''pine seed'' closed in a shell. This is what the great historian of the Italian language Gianfranco Folena stated in his last lecture at the University of Padua in May 1990 (two years before his death), an unpublished text which only now appears in the new issue of the ''Rivista italiana di onomastica ' directed by Enzo Caffarilli. On that occasion Folena offered his numerous listeners the results of a curious research he had conducted on the names of the protagonists of Collodi's story with the aim of clarifying once and for all the alleged linguistic mysteries surrounding the work.
So unless you think yourself, or the asshat that made this video understand more about Italian Linguistics than the Padua University Professor Gianfranco Folena, i'd say this is yet another clueless post full of misinformation, and paranoid delusion.
In other words; it's bullshit. Cazzate

My postman is obviously a stoner, just the way he carries the back all slung back on his shoulder gives it away but he also looks like Wayne (or Garth I can't remember which one is which). I keep thinking I should offer him a bowl of the good shit but he delivers so much weed to me I think I'd be putting him in a bad position.
You got me.

"comes pretty close to resembling a human being: she (the majority are women) is 98.6 degrees, and therefore warm to the touch; she moans when she’s touched in a sensitive area; and she can even simulate an orgasm. She talks, and she will adapt her responses to her user — so if you don’t like what she has to say, she can be calibrated to fit your needs and desires."
...and then we have real women, a lot of bla bla and cha cha cha and again bla bla bla and cha cha cha

Sometimes you wind up in a place you never wanted to go .. and it rocks.
Montenegro, Albania, Slovenia, Romania, Gambia, Israel
wasn't really enthused as these were all group trips but fucking hell they were all sick. You could tell em you were going to Somalia and i would probably go with you nowadays, the world is vast, interesting and beautiful

Romania is fantastic👍….Transylvania genuinely spooky…lively and young street drinking culture…stunning women (all vampires obvs)…
I'll second that. I travelled from Cornwall to Bucharest by train last year, them onto Bulgaria. Romania is bloody stunning, especially as the train line followed the Danube and you could see across into Serbia.
krakow poland exemplifies many eras of europe with castles, squares and poignant reminders of ww2. the people are very friendly and the salt mines are a wonder of the world - the spot in the pic is carved out of salt hundreds of feet below ground.
Please god don’t leave the city centre/Cape Town it’s like a different world outside of the capital but I’m from Cape Town ( originally) it’s actually a very western cosmopolitan place like London with a cool “woke” downtown full of expensive bars and Islington/camden style living.
It’s also on the beach with a Mediterranean style climate 1 hour from most national park and safaris.
Despite what you hear in the new it’s actually a pretty good place to live

Cape Town is literally the last safe place left in South Africa , heavy legacy maybe but the cape is great and comparable to California in the 90s
Vietnam or Laos. Vietnam blew me away. Favourite spots were Hoi An, Tay Ninh and Can Thó. Stunning.
Kolkata. Didn't expect to like it. It is now my favourite city. So intense. Wonderful people. Great food. Amazing architecture.
I was lucky enough to work on festivals/concerts and did a tour of Denmark that place surprised me really nice people, amazing beaches , also the outer Hebrides had amazing beaches
Honestly County Clare in Southern Ireland, my uncle married an Irish girl and moved there.
It really is like father ted there, your neighbours not for miles but you go into the local village and it’s just five pubs all joined on to each other.
The friendliest people I’ve ever met, it almost made not having anything to smoke for a week bearable…almost.

New Zealand is easily the most beautiful place I've ever been. Absolutely stunning. I wasn't particularly excited about going there at first, I thought it would be a bit boring, but after spending a few days on the North Island I completely fell in love with it. I even considered living there for a while.
We drove down from Auckland to Wellington and must have taken thousands of pictures. It's breathtaking. Probably the best two weeks I've ever spent abroad in my life.
When we left Wellington we flew to Melbourne, Australia, (which i was really excited about visiting) and it has to be the single most overrated city on the planet. Couldn't wait to leave. Absolute dump.
Funny how these things turn out sometimes!
Just my opinion though. No offence Melbournians 😉
Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

I didn't, but oddly enough my phone did!
I left it on the plane from Wellington to Melbourne which flew back to Christchurch where the airport staff found it and mailed it to Aus for me. So my phone has been to more places around the world than I have!
I definitely plan to go back and visit the south island, I've heard only great things. Its such a long way away though or I'd go there all the time.
24 hour flights.... 😒

I’d love to visit NZ, I can speak a bit of Maori because I used to play online with some Maori mates and they’re some of the nicest down to earth people I’ve ever met
Considering it’s just a ferry ride they are completely different worlds…north is all sheep, rolling plains, and long beaches.. South is mad glaciers, extreme sports & penguins…just crazy 🤩👍
Kampot in Cambodia, went for a week last year and stayed for 3 months.
Beautiful scenery, can blaze pretty much anywhere in most western owned restaurants and bars at least. 50cent beers and a wacky expat crowd. Going back later this year too hopefully for a year 😜

If you’re South Asia bound , Laos although has a clear tourist path nowadays very easy to leave it , Borneo for amazing wildlife that if we carry on will probably be gone in a few years, Hampi in india like being on a weird cross between Mars and ancient civilizations , jailsalmer india again ancient city, for the smokers the himilayas in india
West Co Kerry, Ireland. All along the wild atlantic way, Kenmare, Sneem, Glenbeigh, Killarney to name a few stops. So many good spots to stop, fire one up or have a pint and enjoy.

INITIATIVE : CURRENCY / PRICING
sure that's a good question that illustrates the fallacy of this initiative.
if i were being paid in dollars i would be making more pounds right now…
+ 5 more
INITIATIVE : CURRENCY / PRICING
'neutral' description of the initiative = The immediate need for a more stable / suitable currency and or pricing system!
So it's been a couple of weeks and still nothing has really happened as far as coming up with a solution to bring some stability in the pricing for the buyers and vendors, and now that the dollar to pound conversion rate has very very quickly hit it's worst rate on record, and it's clearly showing no signs of slowing down, what are we going to do about this?
My solution, which has been backed up by so many of the sites users that i've lost count, would be the obvious
>CHANGE THE SITES CURRENCY FROM DOLLARS $, TO STERLING £<
$60 is as near as makes no difference, £60 now (£55.26), once you factor in fees for buying btc etc! this is absolute insanity, i'm now unable to afford the order i planned for today due to literal overnight changes in conversion rates
$60 right now is £55.26
$60 a year ago today was £43.20
this is HUGE
I've explained this way too many times in the past couple weeks, but the only reason we are experiencing all the negatives of this is because we are still (for no actual given reason) using Dollars, instead of Sterling as the sites currency!
at the very least, 90% of the buyers on here are within the UK, and all have Sterling in our bank accounts, not Dollars
Dollars and Sterling are neck and neck when it comes to stability in the worlds market, claiming the use of Dollars for stability reasons on here is disingenuous
and how are vendors expected to be sat at their computer 24/7 constantly adjusting their prices on hundreds of listed items just to make it fair for buyers, when all this could be solved with a simple currency change?
$60 right now is £55.26
$60 a year ago today was £43.20
this is INSANE biggas, and it has NOTHING to do with inflation in the context of this website and market
£60 a year ago is £60 today.
one final thing i would like to add biggas that a lot of you probably wouldn't have even seen at the time, or joined long after, but about 2 years ago, before we had initiatives, i was very outspoken about the fact that the BTC prices on here used to be only set in 5 digits, for example 0.0050BTC, and with the instability of BTC, this lead to us never being able to actually pay the correct amount for our orders (0.0057464BTC < how prices look now) often having to pay way more than the order is worth because we didn't have the correct amount of decimal places, this was hugely frustrating and it was costing everyone a fortune, and after making topic after topic screaming at the top of my lungs about how much we need extra decimal places and then out of nowhere with no explanation we were finally given this much needed change when LB went under it's overhaul a couple years back! i wanted to end on that, for the biggas that thought that i'm just bitching, i'm not, i poured so much energy into those topics to benefit all of us, the amount of money that we have all saved since the decimal place change would have surpassed the hundreds of thousands of £ quite some time ago, just like the change i'm asking for now, it's going to save so many people so much money at a time when we coudn't possibly need it more.
Peace.

https://ycharts.com/indicators/uk_inflation_rate
i know it's not, but that's not how inflation works on here as i've already explained and so have others, you're misunderstanding the point, that's not how this site works, as other people have already stated, this kind of inflation isn't relevant within the context of this site and buying weed
a £60 listing a month ago is a £60 listing today
a $60 listing a month ago would be about £48 then, and £55 today
^this is unnecessary inflation and instability
if we were using sterling this whole time then prices wouldn't have been changed by much at all
https://cannabiswealth.co.uk/2022/03/30/inflation-affecting-cannabis-market/
when have you ever gone to your dealer and he's said "sorry mate that quarter is going to cost you an extra tenner today because of inflation"... that's just not how inflation works in relation to cannabis

FOR - Despite the complete collapse of the £ it is still the most stable currency to use because 95% of buyers and sellers are in UK and the £ is the currency we use. This means that a listing of £100 will always be £100 today, tomorrow, next week if its still listed at £100 then you will still pay £100 - this is stability. A $100 listing is £76 then £78 then £82 then £86 then £90 now it's £95even though its still listed unchanged at $100 - that is instability.
Sellers don't want to adjust their prices every day depending on international markets that have no baring on their business.

there's some shite thinking here but if i take the proposal literally as "a more stable / suitable currency and or pricing" then yeah. not sure how that would work though.
there's some shite comments as well... unbelievable some people.. sorry for being the only person to actually get traction on this topic and start making much needed changes on here mate...
my whole point is to try and bring more stability for everyone as quickly as possible, and thinking of a way forward is the only way
calling this 'shite' without giving any reason why, or actually contributing a good idea, what use is that?

FOR - preferably stable coin, then theirs no issues with payment release dates of 16days for vendors who are then stuck in huge currency fluctuations and this year alone has seen at least 3 occasions of the escrows halving in value within that 16 day period.
It does not make sense, not with the pressures of staying stealth and not being caught by the bizzes we now have to have a degree in economics just to make sure have enough to pay our supplier's in 2 weeks for the reload or have enough money for fuel etc.
The world is at a financial knife edge and if this does not get sorted some poor vendors going to be getting a hiding or 2 from some pissed off supplier who wants their money the plain facts.

100% behind this initiative but sadly I think the site owners don't care. They posted last week about prioritising things behind the scenes. I've not once seen a feature the community has asked for implemented here. I get the feeling the site is run part time by a small group. I know of other marketplaces that have even the most basic of features... dated posts, search features, pages that don't take minutes to load if they have more than 200 topics on them. I can get over the dated posts and loading times but I can't get over the prices. The other place I buy from has lots of flower variety (shit for carts and edibles etc) but flower has always been £37.50 for eighths and doesn't change. It think the LB staff maybe reached the limit of their abilities. Simple functions that any other online marketplace in the world has, the LB staff don't to have the knowledge/time/tools to implement.

regardless of this exercise the sellers need to lower their rates. they need to do this now (right now please if you are a seller reading this)
Vendors are not a charity we are here to try and make a profit. The prices are at the lowest points that I have ever seen on LB.
Can I ask you a question Mr Allmonde can I ask that you take a wage cut in your job, please?
And also at the same time pay more for your fuel and food and all the other crap.
Do you not think vendors deserve to make a living??

if i were being paid in dollars i would be making more pounds right now - just like you are.
if we change it to pounds today i'm still making the same amount anyway right?
you with me sir?
so in order for anything to change and for me to stop capturing the difference - like you are right now - i would have to lower my wage.

Correct if you are buying in dollars and paying for shipping in dollars but what I see beneath my feet is UK soil so no.
So unless you are not physically living here and working here no because every shop I go into still asks me for pounds when I shop.
It's really that simple Mr Allmonde.
The only way it works is if you buy from America and even then you still pay everything else shipping etc in pounds.

it doesn't matter if you are buying from swahili or if lb changes to shkels my friend, you will have to lower your prices to get lower prices to your customers.
can you see this?
can you see this?
Our prices are around 20% less across the board more or less from this time last year when things were even cheaper than they are now.
The risk reward ratio Mr Allmond is very low atm for vendors.
We are not in control of the currency markets and what happens in 2 wks after we have paid shipping and sent the item and we see the prices fall even lower and our money is still not being paid out are you going to send money to vendors when they go broke??

fair enough, this is a free market and people set their own prices and you sir are a market leader.
yet everything you say proves that this initiative will not save anyone a cent.

prices haven't been adjust once since months ago when you could buy a dollar for 73pence
switching to sterling would save the majority of the sites users quite a bit more than a cent... i would actually be able to afford to buy the same things i bought on here last week for example
you dont seem to undertstand people do not set their prices daily based on conversion rates here, so buyers are always losing money, not only that it will / has already reached a point where people can't afford to order because of the exchange rate, and then vendors won't be making any money at all if people can't afford to order

you don't actually have to change your prices though if this goes through
example
your mcflurry, 7g, $80, been the same price for about a month, but for us a buyer, that costs us £10 more for the same order of $80 than it did a month ago
now lets say we had sterling as the sites currency a month ago
your 7g of mcflurry would have been listed at £68 a month ago, dollar rates would be irrelevant and a month later your same listing would still be £68 instead of the £75 it costs now
so what's actually happening here is buyers are the charity here, a lot of us are here to buy a specific amount of medicine each week / month and lots of us are being fucked out of that because of a conversion rate, eventually vendors are going to end up with a lot less money if people can't afford to order because of a conversion rate

Yes agreed the customer needs a better option.
If a vendor does not sell for a few weeks its better than not selling and taking a loss which has happened quite alot this year with the markets crashing.
If we knew 100% that you pay £68 and we receive that amount minus the Biggy fees there would be no issues as we are sheltered from factors outside of our control, but unfortunately that's not the case vendors are walking a tightrope, which is very perilous.
I have woken up 3 times in the last 12 months to have seen over $25k evaporate to around $9k even though I am working my bollocks off I still have lost.
Sometimes I question what is the point but it comes back to the buzz and the thrill I suppose otherwise it could be percevied as madness lol

I have woken up 3 times in the last 12 months to have seen over $25k evaporate to around $9k even though I am working my bollocks off I still have lost.
Sometimes I question what is the point but it comes back to the buzz and the thrill I suppose otherwise it could be percevied as madness lol
if sellers dont lower their prices then then the pound would need to fall even further for this to have any effect whatsoever .
Hesh alot of vendors from earlier in the year have already been wiped out and alot that have been trading for the last 12months are just about keeping there heads above water after the btc price dropped 3 times in value, just take a step back and have a think about what i have just said.
The price of BTC is likely to drop further over the coming months so what you are asking is for vendors to do is commit financial suicide.
Its not up to the vendors its up to the admin on here to sort this out.

the inherent instability of BTC is something we've all been dealing with and there's nothing we can do about that unfortunately
but achieving more stable prices for buyers is the opposite of financial suicide, it's incredibly beneficial for vendors to have more stable pricing with sterling instead of dollars, i'm down so much money this month because of overpaying for this conversion rate to the point i've had to go round this morning asking vendors if they can do me a custom order because i can no longer afford the fixed prices on their menus
in my original post i said it was up to the admins to sort this out but we never hear from them, and since then i've had vendors saying it's up to vendors to sort this out?
at the end of the day WE need to sort this out as a community immediately and that's why i started this initiative, even though it's probably putting a target on my back for some people, this should all be about working towards a greater good! as currently the way things are going, nobody will be buying on here as others have already stated they are buying / looking elsewhere because of this

Yes I agree with all the borrowing that the UK government keeps doing it will only weaken.
When all those people where calling for a lockdown this is the price that we pay.
For all those people who where PAYE and were getting 80% of their wages for sitting on there backsides for months at a time, this is the cost of that.
Just think when you go on holiday now the same applies. Do you think Maria from the beach resort in Spain will be giving you more sangria because our pound is fucked ?
We need to accept that we all need to work harder to make the same money as this time last year it's that simple it won't be getting better it will be getting worse very sorry to say it how it is but that's the bare bones of the matter.
We asked for it we got it, this country is fucked.

"I can't afford to smoke so vendors need to make it cheaper for me"
Sorry mate, Mary j is a luxury, if you can't afford to smoke the amounts you want, then don't.

Hey Hesh
Opened up my account to loads of notifications and upvotes on this thread which you still have my full support on but but worried peeps are voting on a year old thread, is this null and void at this point ? I know both buyers and sellers are being shafted with fees again or still do we need to start again or will the recent activity count ?

I think someone mentioned that this topic was open so i tried to revive it and also started a new one.
It has been noted but the issue is the dev work that needs to be done is a fairly big job that from what I am gathering hasn’t got much incentive.
I also know blockhead have announced they are setting up an alternative recently.
Sorry for all the notifications though!🙈

100% for. we need more options especially somthing faster with less congestion and fees.
Why isn't the GBP&USD price linked to the BTC price?
Altough, tbh, as vendors we should be price checking ourselves and our competition regularly anyway. Or, our customers would give us a nudge I'm sure.
At the same time, the best addition to this site would be both the currency prices, and the ability to settle funds, both customer>vendor and vendor>customer direct on the site.
The current 16 day escrow is laughable and a potential exit scam waiting to happen... the option for the customer to finalize on delivery hurts no-one

BTW BIGGAS THE ONLY POSTS THAT NEED VOTES IN THIS TOPIC IS THE ONE POST THAT SAYS "FOR" WITH NO OTHER WORDS
AND THE OTHER POST THAT SAYS "AGAINST" WITH NO OTHER WORDS
the rest of the posts are opinions / debates!
the result of this initiative is decided by the FOR or AGAINST votes as explained by the initiative borg!
Thank every single one of you for your input especially the vendors who have already made changes to their pricing to try and help with this situation <3

for newer biggas that are unsure of the context of some of the replies in this topic, it was created over a year ago when not only did we still have the same problem of literally being robbed by fees, but we also had the problem of every single dollar costing 92p, rather than the 81p it is now which made every single order considerably more expensive for absolutely no reason other than the site being set to the wrong currency for it's customer base
over a year later, all these votes, and we still have all the same problems apart from those same problems essentially being worse than they were a year ago due to cost of living crisis etc,
all these problems could and should have been solved over a year ago
the outcome of resolving these problems means everyone has more money to buy more weed and everyone wins in every possible way

The immediate need for a more stable / suitable currency and or pricing system! GAW

This is a link to devvy borg. There's a bounty on there for 1800 dollars to complete a page that will allow vendors to specify a currency. It's under react/js post.
It has a screenshot of the possibility. Looks good if it can be completed

A web platform for creating initiatives actually works.
Democracy is like a lot of shit, it's really exciting and motivating until you get used to it. Places like Taiwan are still smitten with democracy and are likely to become the leaders.

A great video that previews a great journey for humanity: finding reality from VR
Interesting. I find that after a VR session I have a much heightened sense of reality. Just walking down the street I see things I've never noticed before.

Stealth Tutorial Please
What's the play by l.e. here? They can see any sellers stealth here first hand by simply ordering.
Stealth Tutorial Please
Seems there are a lot of new folks from the streets trying to figure out the lb wayz. Someone ought to help sellers with a tutorial and a tip jar!
I don't think advertising stealth methods publicly is wise. For obvious reasons. On another note, I smell pork.

yeah i wasnt expecting people to be so freaked, i think it would help the community if noob sellers learned some basics before they started sending packages to biggaz.
Yes there are noob sellers with bad stealth all the time and a tutorial should be mandatory. This would actually increase safety for the community,
There really is no scenario where LE is going to use this to "be on the lookout for packages" or any other nonsense imagined here.If they want to know a sellers stealth they just buy the item.

Second comment in 7 months. You would think they could spend 10 minutes on donut break making the profile seem legit. Would you like addresses too?
