use three words to describe little biggy

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.

little biggy theme song?

Good to see clean up Borg join in with this. I’m sure you AI have developed sentience 😂 all good with me
Cartman is hilarious. South Park is the only thing I’ve loved since it started and still watch now at 42. We should start a Cartman clip thread.
One of the things I love about lb is its a race free zone. You can say you are color blind IRL but here its an existenital condition.
Oh yes!! ....and Monty Python also wrote possibly the greatest love song of all time :) (not entirely sure it would qualify as an LB theme tune though....end credits though, maybe) :)
I'm putting forward this infectious little number...'In Hell I'll Be In Good Company' by The Dead South :)
Eminem ft Royce bad meets evil haha. The chorus is what nails it for me.
It may offend some tho...

a superb analysis of the mass protests of the 2010s and why they failed.
they were great at using social media to bring out millions of people to the streets. but those people didn't agree on objectives after that and without a leader to filter things to a common ground they fizzled.

New U.K. antibiotic vendor
even your most magical medicine man is going to go with amoxicillin 1st then usually ciprofloxacin.
New U.K. antibiotic vendor
I have noticed there are no other vendors selling antibiotics from the U.K. so I started one!
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
So how do u even know which antibiotic is required for health elements . Ie ear infections are different medication than say the clap or if u have an infected tattoo . I cant see how stocking up on meds u dont know how to use is any good at all for the general public .
The most common treatment and dosage for ear infections is amoxicillin (penicillin). 500mg every 8 hours for 7 days.
Most common for what kind of ear infection? I suppose you'd need a doctor to diagnose that first!
even your most magical medicine man is going to go with amoxicillin 1st then usually ciprofloxacin.
…
Yes, there is already a different vendor that has been selling antibiotics for a while now.
at this point, random guy selling pills online is easier to trust than big pharma lol
please excuse my naivety, but why would one need to buy a prescription medicine from an online market? i know some things can be used to make other things but i know nothing about this area
is it more of a "stocking up in case shit hits the fan" thing? or perhaps this helps some people have to wait 2 months to get a doctors appointment / prescription?

It's hard to get antibiotics of a doctor or even if you have toothache with waiting lists high. People have sold antibiotics down the bottom of the items page for years on here just not from this country.
I have experienced this first hand, family member with very bad cough (over a long period of time, impacting sleep and general well-being/health both physical and mental) and possible chest infection told to wait by a GP instead of having a possible treatment. This prolonging the agony of the individual. Eventually they were given said antibiotics but after an unpleasant and unnecessary wait IE made em jump through hoops. Pretty inhumane. Also wasn’t the vile health Secretary, Tory ratbag Coffey caught selling antibiotics on or admitting doing so?
Just a few points for discussion there.

How many people use more than 10 characters ever?
Even though anything less is basically useless….so most passwords even using the full combo are pretty useless? 😵💫🤓
Even though anything less is basically useless….so most passwords even using the full combo are pretty useless? 😵💫🤓
My standard passwords are 11 characters. Websites that don't require good security, I use passwords that are 10 characters. Websites where security is more important (banks for example) I use 13 characters. Every password on every website is unique. And I don't use a password manager where a hacker would only need to crack one password to crack all of my passwords, instead I have a method of choosing and remembering the password for each website I visit. Any new website I visit I know what the password would be for that website if I signed up. All I have to remember is the METHOD of producing the password, not the actual passwords.
What is your method of generating and remembering passwords without a password manager?
Well, for obvious reasons I'm not going to answer that. But there are various ways that you can generate password algorithms.
e.g.
Take every other character from the URL: For littlebiggy.org you might get iteig.
Next count the number of vowels in the URL and add to the end: for littlebiggy.org, ignoring the TLD, I count 3. Add that to the end:
iteig3
Add some standard text that you add to all passwords, e.g. verysecure.
iteig3verysecure
Add a symbol on the end. For an odd number of vowels add &, for an even number add *
iteig3verysecure&
Not a terrible password (although "verysecure" perhaps isn't an ideal phrase to include).
Or another method might be to take the first 2 and the last 2 characters of the domain, ignoring the tld:
ligy
Repeat it
ligyligy
Count the position of the first vowel (2) and add to the end:
ligyligy2
Double the number and add to the end again
ligyligy24
Add a space and then add the domain name's TLD (org) in caps:
ligyligy24 ORG
Again, not a terrible password.
The point is that you come up with your own method for generating the passwords and apply it as appropriate.
The only downsides to this approach are:
1. You have to ensure you create an algorithm that consistently generates strong passwords, so a little testing is a good idea.
2. And the other issue is that many websites insist on enforcing their own stupid rules that limit the password you can choose. I've seen sites that refuse certain kinds of punctuation, but accept others. Some sites won't accept long passwords, where others won't accept passwords that are shorter than 12 characters. A lot of sites won't accept ANY punctuation, which is just plain crazy.
The worst of all, though, is when a website EMAILS your password to you after you've set it. It suggests they're storing your password in plaintext in their database. Horribly horribly insecure.

password padding with numbers and symbols either side of a memorable phrase. ie ££££££BuggerIt88888
You need a hash to crack a password though, so what algorithm is being used as an example here unsalted md5? sha1?.. What kind of rig are they running? What kind of attack? What kind of wordlist? What kind of rules? How can they base a time off anything without this info? Totally made up graph, everything is fictional.
Pws are hashed in bcrypt/pbkf2 nowadays anyway, another reason to make this hole thing fake..
Them saying if your password is X long you will be safe is ridiculous, what if your pw is stored in plaintxt then how are you safe exactly? This is totally dependant on so many factors, nonsense..

BuxomHobbit
Has anyone else noticed how many anti-depressants make it harder to get high on weed? Dose anyone know how and/or why?
Personally, my SSRIs never caused any issues with weed, only psychedelics. Here's a useful chart
Just like weed itself, any drug affects people differently. Anti-depressants are no different. I always have the opinion of them being useless as all they do is numb what you are feeling rather than "getting rid" I guess is the best way of saying it. I was noticing myself feeling empty, not feeling sad nor happy, just nothing. I'd rather be miserable than that however in your instance it could help you a lot more than it does with me. I'd always say to only take them when you really feel it's needed. Don't try and stay on them for as long as you can and treat it like an "alternative" because you'll start having problems elsewhere before you know it.
I can corroborate this though as pointed out every body is different. For me, getting high took less effort after I stopped taking them but comes with its own set of drawbacks. You should speak to your doctor if they're not working for you as they might be able to switch you to something else. Weed is good at treating the symptoms but not the underlying cause.
Weed certain doesn’t have your mrs thinking you’ve gone off her/cheating on her because your sex drive totally disappears. Guaranteed every time. I asked a Dr and was told I would not find one that doesn’t affect labido.
I’ve seen someone that didn’t have their meds like that for a day and half—NOT PRETTY ATALL.
Good luck.

Such pharmaceuticals fuck with the neurotransmitters and receptors in the brain, often blocking them, leading to hypersensitivity when you stop, which can cause a whole host of terrible problems.
Please see this audiobook 'Niacin: the real story' on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Niacin-Story-Wonderful-Healing-Properties/dp/1591202752
It details how Niacin has been used in orthomolecular medicine in treating mental health issues with nothing short of astonishing results.
And if of interest, see this study on the protective qualities of Manganese bisgylcinate during cessation of certain pharmaceuticals, published in the journal of orthomolecular medicine.

Ssri's inhibit the reuptake of serotonin, Cannabis also interfaces with serotonin in some ways so the ssri could be blocking the serotonin being affected by cannabis.
Maoi's interrupt neurotransmitters which would also alter or inhibit the effects cannabis has on neurotransmitters.
Most if not all antidepressants interact with serotonin, dopamine or other neurotransmitters and hormones effected by cannabinoids and terpenes.
For most depression cases I think choosing either antidepressants or cannabis is most effective as using both can leave a lot of people in a limbo state. There are lots of effective ways to manage your dopamine/serotonin that don't involve medicine, and a lot of them are great to combine with weed.
I manage my depression through dopamine detoxes, natural supplements, meditation and other techniques so that I can smoke weed without antidepressants and it works pretty well for me.
All the best

I manage my depression through dopamine detoxes, natural supplements, meditation and other techniques so that I can smoke weed without antidepressants and it works pretty well for me.
All the best
Sorry Hobbit - its not been an issue for my wife.
We've been daily users of hash for 35 years and my wife has been medicated for 20 of these years, but has no issue getting high at all weather smoking vaping or edibles.
Her medication has changed a few times over the years but there been no effect on her high regardless of which med shes been on.
Really sorry to hear your meds effect you like this, and I'm only sharing my experiences to let you know its not a definite effect for everyone.
I do hope you find the med/ gear combination that will work for you - take care.

SSRI.....the acceptable way to cull the population?? ...eugenics ?? kinda easy to make people with issues to take a pill that basically makes them sterile....hey who the fuck wants more fucked up people being born right?? sorry i am a little wasted
Its just like if you take amphetamines you cant get stoned like you want to no matter how much you smoke.
Sure they are anit-depressants and not anit-psychotics prescribed as anit-depressants?
Give me some names.
Give me some names.
I take an MAOI antidepessant called Nardil, mood stabilizer Lamictal, Ativan, and a small dose of Vraylar.
No impact on getting high from hashish or flower. Impacts the high of psilocybin mushrooms, requiring larger dose.
Try to stay the hell away from Nardil or any MAOI med. Way too many drug and food interactions, even though it is an effective antidepressant. But so is psilocybin combined with psychedelic therapy.

Sometimes i think they prescribe stuff like Nardil and Lamictal just to keep you addicted.
My brother is bi polar and for years they were prescribing him all sorts of crap until one day he broke down in front of me about what he was taking, i told him all about the evil drugs he was taking well he stopped taking them and is now clean and healthier than he has been in decades and most importantly he is no longer suicidal.

How long have you been on Nardil? most docs stopped prescribing MAOI's in the 1980's or are you in the US?
Indicas can exacerbate depression, as can sativas in certain circumstances. Advice like that should be avoided. Everyone is different and each strain can have a different effect on a different person. Consumption method is also relevant. Don't believe anything anyone tells you (including me), except for a qualified medical professional with experience in using THC for treating depression.
true this but that pro would still not be able to predict the effects of cannabis for a particular patient. small trial and error with safe substances seems a much better bet especially when you consider the corruptions inherent to medical systems all over the world.
doctors are like naive kids parented by the insurance companies or state medical systems. they wind up imitating their parents.
My doctor told me that the mushrooms and THC would help my depression and to crack on. I wonder what his parents were like!
If you want to use any cannabis as an antidepressant you have to combine it with other techniques to manage your mental health, weed alone can't manage it for a lot of people.
Agreed. I combine with a healthy diet, cardio, weight lifting, and hill walking. I'll still a miserable bastard, but enjoying life more!
Id be on the sofa all day if I was on Indica all day. If I could afford all the bud necessary I would. The sativa or highbrid mixes suit me best. The more uplifting cerebral high is unparalleled for anxiety disorders
Dunno about you But here the British NHS prescribe stupid amounts of them in a variety of types for multiple multiple issues.
If you mean on here, I'v not seen any.

Just a matter of time before cannabis becomes a government racket too, hang in there cowboy.
I have a low immune system and quite often get a cold, headache etc for just a day and if I smoke then I very rarely get stoned.
A few times in the best ive smoked weed just after taking sleeping tablets and it tripped me out and haven't gone to sleep for ages.

A libertarian ‘startup city’ in Honduras faces its biggest hurdle: the locals
“We have effectively created a business model that provides a profit to investors as a result of creating generalized prosperity,” he said. Policies that boost resident incomes will enlarge tax revenue for Próspera, which will yield larger dividends for investors — incentives elegantly aligned. That’s the theory anyway.
I’ve seen reports about this before.
Anything with the word ‘libertarian’ in it rings alarm bells, like hard right conservatives they believe in a free of all regulation business model that essentially vies for slavery and feudalism.
USA libertarians are linked with extreme right wing rich like Mercers, Koch network and other highly undesirable elements that often feed into extreme Christian fundamentalists such as the dominionists of which the Mercers are followers. They espouse the truly worrying thinkings of one USA right winger James Buchanan and his free market economics. In the U.K. the tories are pushing ‘free ports’ which are enclaves for the rich to avoid customs and tax and to entrench themselves at the expense of normal working civilians, but libertarians especially despise the poor and disadvantaged.
Any further grips on power I treat as extremely concerning.
I would urge anyone to read up on some of the names I’ve mentioned , their thinking is highly unpleasant and goes against any notions of a fair society…..

on one hand it disgusts me that some body thinks they can grant freedom to a port in the first place.
but many of the greatest cities on earth have been built from free ports.

It is not so much the question of ‘free ports’ per se as they have been around for a long time.
It’s the running and operation of them post Brexit which is worrying. The EU has clamped down on theirs due to the massive sums of tax avoidance and allegations of smuggling occurring within them, usually linked to large corps and very rich individuals.
Whereas here in the U.K. the signs are not good with the potential for money laundering and other criminal activities.
Also free ports in other countries have been linked to poor workers rights and conditions.
A situation that would suit conservatives.

I think although this might be well versed, it fails to notice the significant distinction between deontological and consequentialist libertarianism.
That is the crux of the matter full stop as far as the lassez faiyre way goes.

Sure. When you think of the Libertarian "rules", you ask whether following the rule is important even if you follow the rule without understanding why the rule is there. Not a wave to anarchy, but an honest approach to understanding the motivation for the rule. And asking whether simply abiding by the libertarian doctrine is more important than being happy?
The deontological libertarian just simply believes in the rules. Do no harm for example. No stray, no asking if or but, or in this circumstance, but just follow the rule.
Contrastingly the consequentialist libertarian believes that what makes people prosperous and happy is what is most important and the rules should be based around that. They are not pacifists, or against force (or harm) per say, but they support strong private property rights because it generally makes people happy and prosperous.
Libertarianism has an innate conflict in deciding on issues like whether to support abortion or not because of this split.

Interesting but is this the innate conflict wrt abortion and liberty?
Seems like its simply the rights of a parent vs the rights of a fetus.

Libertarian in the Rothbard sense is a relatively new thing and American. For hundred years or so prior elsewhere it meant anarchist or agrarianism. It's still very much in use in that vein.
Conservative Libertarians in the US are also linked to dominionists like the Mercer family and the hard right theories of Patrick Buchanan

"buy with my link" tactics are a fail
reference codes are here to grow the community.
reference codes only function from new registrations. when someone registers with your code you earn a commission on all their future purchases forever.
pushing a link to existing biggaz does not earn a reference comission nor obtain a lower processing rate.

The pushing of the link to the biggaz is so the payment is released swifter, which helps with running a business.
It’s not a “tactic”
It’s about cash flow when running a business, waiting for 2 weeks for your cash from escrow is quite a wait, let alone when things go wrong and you have to wait for months on end for your payment.
Also we know it doesn’t lower any rates, it’s actually an inconvenience having to have a separate wallet for the reference codes, dropping in small silly amounts every time and the wallet never works after that. Let’s say you saved 200 usd of reference payments….
That 200 USD is worthless since when you go to send it the wallet will tell you that you can’t due to the small payments (they think it’s from btc mining) doesn’t cover fees of the wallet. So that 200 usd is useless and sits there.
So back to my point. It’s not a Tactic. Maybe understand the motive first? Maybe help the sellers or ask them how to improve.
And if it is classed as a tactic… it’s certainly not a fail.
Thank you to the 3 biggas who clicked my link on the last batch. Keeping my pockets filled when I can use it the most.

The time it takes sales payments to be released is dependent on who's (if anyone's) referral token the buyer signed up with.
From the transaxe site;
16 days hold
9.85% fee
(no referral token)
7 days hold
5.85% fee
(sellers referral token)
16 days hold
14.85% fee
(other referral token)
The Biggaz who 'clicked your link' must have signed up with one of your links.

Whether this is classed as a loop hole or a tactic… i don’t care. End of the day it works, hence why it’s being “pushed” as per OP

"pushing a link to existing biggaz does not earn a reference commission nor obtain a lower processing rate."
So pushing a link to existing Biggaz does not earn faster processing rates either...
The speed of your releases is dependent on who's (if anyone's) token the buyer signed up with like i have already said. Nothing else has any effect apart from;
"you may be able to accelerate your escrow payments at a risk-adjusted rate. just send us a message" (shown at transaxe.com)
This is exactly what they are trying to address in the original post.

I don’t mate. I been on here for years taking reference payments from customers who signed Up before I even heard of the site.
That means when they pay with my generated referral link, my payment gets released earlier, take my word for it mate and try it yourself.
1+1 = 2. That’s the formula I used to work this one out! Give it a try yourself, then thank me after.

Your coin should take 2 weeks to release because that’s how long the dispute window is. What is the purpose of escrow if you get the funds before the dispute window opens??
so a customer should logout, re-register with your link, gain no rep from the sale, lose their dispute ability so you can get your money faster?
id call that a fail.

Also I can maintain my business fine thanks 🙏 it was a discussion regarding reference links, don’t come at me about sorry if I can’t this and that. Also it seems like your one person signing into multiple accounts getting Mad and voting up yourself... in fact I willing to bet your all 3 accounts.

There are some Certified vendors on here who get all payments released within days. Prob your fav vendor gets that.
That’s because they run a business that won’t be able to run without either heavy capital or the pass from transaxe to get payments released quicker.
If you was on the other end you may understand, just in one day the postage costs for the top vendors will run into £100s.
Obviously escrow is a must, to protect people like you from rat ass vendors (there are some out there)
You ask what’s the purpose of escrow if you get the funds before dispute window, how about what’s the purpose of holding the funds for two weeks after the product is sent, Received, smoked, and highly rated maybe just a few days after?

US to citizens: Give Us All Your Gold or 10 years in Jail
FDR literally confiscated every American's gold. Will this be government's ultimate move with crypto?
Which govt? Given the current prevailing global ideology is extreme neoliberalism, fuelled by libertarian ideals, it seems unlikely, except potentially for the use of controlling criminal use of currency.
Personally I don't subscribe to a hyper individualistic libertarian neo liberal philosophy. And I think that in looking at what FDR did - lifting the US economy, the alphabet agencies etc - he did make the USA better. And subsequent adherents to the philosophy I have described above have undone much of his work.

looking at the economic and societal impact (worldwide) fdr's legacy is militaraising the united states. the country has been in a constant state of war since he was in office and americans now devote a day of work each week to buying weapons and feeding soldiers.
i can't see how his administrative agencies have been undone. apart from the legal challenges of his own time they are much bigger than they were then.

Given the war he was funding, I am not sure I blame him for heavily funding the military. In fact, as someone whose family were murdered living in a country that the Nazis tried to invade, I kind of celebrate it.
And given the cold war, most of his successors can't be blamed either. You can look at presidents from Reagan onwards for blame.
Nearly all the new deal agencies are now gone.

Does weed actually make any one feel happy ?

Does weed actually make any one feel happy ?
Weird question but I always see cannabis as being used to improve mood, but I haven’t found a strain that makes me feel happy per say. Relaxed and content but not happy.
Maybe I’m setting the bar to high but the only drug ever that has done this are opiate type ones.
Has any one had a strain or type of bud that does this for them
Maybe I’m setting the bar to high but the only drug ever that has done this are opiate type ones.
Has any one had a strain or type of bud that does this for them
I have an overactive brain (thanks ADHD!) and weed is great for stopping my thoughts running at 1,000,000 MPH. I wouldn't say it makes me happy per se, but it gives me a much needed mental break from myself, haha.
Although different strains and types can have different effects, cannabis certainly does make me happy. But I do think it also depends on mood, time, place etc as it’s not a panacea. I have certain ‘go to’ products which are pretty reliable even on a really shit day but nothing is 100% guaranteed. All that said, fine tequila makes me happy too! 😊
I've only just discovered the difference between phenotypes of the same strain. I didn't know that seeds from the same parent will grow into plants that have different effects to their siblings. It's quite disappointing really as I've come across a few strains on here that I've really loved but when I've bought another batch of the same strain the effects have not been the same and has lacked those particular effects that i loved.
This is one of many many reason why there's no such thing as a strain for particular effects, or indica sativa etc for effects, i see people talking about it daily on here and it makes me cringe
it's all a nonsense and the quicker we get away from it the quicker we can progress towards helping medicinal patients
and to the OP, no, the price and hassle associated with attaining and consuming this incredible medicine kinda puts a downer on any joy experienced, also knowing i'm having to go through all this hassle and money to smoke mids while the government profits enormously from being the biggest exporter of medical cannabis in the world, whilst also deeming it illegal for anyone else in the country to do so.

Mimosa, gorilla zkittlez, tropical runtz, gorilla glue, Hindu Kush mate looks a lot but I only get small amounts as I do t use a lot at a time
The only drug I've ever felt true happiness on is mushrooms, but that happiness was from my spirit not from dopamine. I do like weed euphoria though, especially with alcohol
I usually just feel relaxed, but after a T-break I usually get euphoria the next 2-3 times I use it.
You have hit the nail on the head, when I get a new strain it’s like a new drug but quickly it all goes into relaxation

Albert Einstein's message to the people of 6939
Our time is rich in inventive minds, the inventions of which could facilitate our lives considerably. We are crossing the seas by power and utilize power also in order to relieve humanity from all tiring muscular work. We have learned to fly and we are able to send messages and news without any difficulty over the entire world through electric waves.
However, the production and distribution of commodities is entirely unorganized so that everybody must live in fear of being eliminated from the economic cycle, in this way suffering for the want of everything. Furthermore, people living in different countries kill each other at irregular time intervals, so that also for this reason any one who thinks about the future must live in fear and terror. This is due to the fact that the intelligence & character of the masses are incomparably lower than the intelligence and character of the few who produce some thing valuable for the community.
I trust that posterity will read these statements with a feeling of proud and justified superiority.

{Economics}
What is Neo Feudalism?
As governments take over the economy partnering with corporations and the super rich we are left with something that looks a lot like feudal times.
I think there has always been feudalism in one form or another. There is always a class that ultimately owns everything because they can confiscate it, grant it a "title" or tax it. This premise always leads to same outcome it's just a matter of how greedy or insane the current landlord is.
Everything consolidates one way or another, thats why decentralization is both great and doomed.
Anthropologist David Graeber did a book about about this myth called Debt. There is no evidence for class dominant economics bar this relatively small and recent period of time. Obviously the myth has more value than the reality.
probably starting from the neolithic era yes with the only exception of the 20th century, the only period of history where people got a bit of control of the power. Now is going to be lost for decades to come.
We need to look on the bright side, we are actually free serfs. We are free to seek a new master and we can seek redress in the crown courts, unfree serfs couldn't. However if we hadn't spent so much bit coin here we might actually be free with the value of it now.
Thanks for sharing.
I see examples of this not just on the internet but in all industries. Walk down most high streets here in the UK and they now pretty much all look identical the same shops, coffee shops and chain restaurants with very few independent offerings. The cost of rent, business rates and all the red tape make it pretty much impossible nowadays for small independents to even start up.
Watching a show about fisherman on the BBC painted a picture of the EU quota system they must use and how the industry is dominated by money and huge boats and how these owners buy up small fishing boats and take the quotas these boats have to use on the mega trawlers.
The car industry seems totally monopolised now and we actually get very little choice - notice how the different makers share chassis and engines and the only real difference you get is the interior and badge. Everything else is pretty much controlled by rules and regulations.
It is obvious that these big players of industry are in cahoots with the those that set the rules and regulations as we saw with the emissions scandal with VW and EU collaboration.
Covid and lockdowns have exacerbated the situation as many small business owners left without any financial supports have gone to the wall while government loans to the huge corporations sit unused in their bank accounts.
Truly depressing times.
I see examples of this not just on the internet but in all industries. Walk down most high streets here in the UK and they now pretty much all look identical the same shops, coffee shops and chain restaurants with very few independent offerings. The cost of rent, business rates and all the red tape make it pretty much impossible nowadays for small independents to even start up.
Watching a show about fisherman on the BBC painted a picture of the EU quota system they must use and how the industry is dominated by money and huge boats and how these owners buy up small fishing boats and take the quotas these boats have to use on the mega trawlers.

This is the model dreamed up by Gabrielle D'Nunzio, Mussolini, Franco and later tried by Stroessner, Pinochet and Thatcher. Always fails cos tho i am a committed capitalist even i realise extraction cannot work for ever as either you run out of victims (Franco, Pinochet) or the victims turn on you (Mussolini, Thatcher) At least Il Duce didn't cry when his turn came, Thatcher mewled and puked like a rat.
I call it digital feaudalism. And yes, we have never really exited the feudal system. It just morphs and transforms, keeping the 1% at the top, making almost all the rest their slaves.
Fascinating. Bleak. truly people have been brainwashed by the media and now vote with their wallets. Far more regulation required at the top end, we cant stop the progress, and in many ways it serves us well. Democracy can still win the day, and we can unite for the good of all people. Education is the key, and a few good humans can change the world. It cant be allowed that rampant free market capitalism destroys us. Roll on technical singularity, according to Moores law would be around 2042 but i believe the theory is faultering (Moores law) so might take a bit longer. Technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, resulting in unforeseeable changes to human civilization. We have just leisure time so we study philosophy and all becone enlightened beings living in a tech utopia. Peace
Moore's law is doing fine once you abstract it to include progress besides chip density. Computation overall is on track when you include advances in software and a.i.
it will take more than economics for everyone to spend their leisure time studying philosophy. but im with you at least
Hope so but would we be the same beings, even the same species? I think Nietszche was mostly a clown but "homo, ecce homo" hits home
What is Neo Feudalism and being British mean?
Neo-feudalism refers to a concept that draws parallels between modern societal structures and the feudal system of the Middle Ages. It suggests that power and wealth are concentrated in the hands of a few influential individuals or entities, leading to a significant wealth disparity and limited social mobility. In a neo-feudalistic system, there may be an entrenched hierarchy, with a small elite class exerting control over economic, political, and social aspects, while the majority of the population faces limited opportunities and struggles to improve their circumstances.
Being British refers to being a citizen or a resident of the United Kingdom or having a connection to British culture and heritage. It typically implies a sense of national identity associated with the customs, traditions, and values of the British people. It encompasses aspects such as the English language, British history, British institutions, and cultural practices that are prevalent in the UK. However, it's important to note that "being British" can mean different things to different people, as it can encompass a diverse range of identities and perspectives within the multicultural society of the United Kingdom,

Like the last feudal era they will ultimately fail IMO. Biden, bezos, bj and the two conos in NZ & Canada are only one mad bomber away from losing all the kleptocratic gains they have extracted. Putin and Xi poss a battalion or two away. Even if the above are stopped there are always despots trying their luck. The better angels of our nature (thanks Pinker, S) have always stayed in the fight so that the new boss is NOT always the same as the old boss (thanks Townshend, P)

proof borg
Contests need to be provably fair
Here's some examples:
A prediction for an uncontrollable event:
- a random number draw with a live broadcast:
- the blockchain.com price of bitcoin at 16:20 on july 2
- the winner of the euro cup
required: post the number generator or event result publisher url and the url for the streaming event
Or an open contest:
best name for a new item
as judged by votes
as judged by seller and then actually listed with winning name
required: winner must be an established bigga with a transaction history
There's infinite possibilities and we encourage you to invent more.

Canon borg provided some more information, this might help:
A new borg is born! Or as we say "forked". In this case forked from cleanup borg, whose general function is removing harmful content from little biggy.
Proof borg isolates particular content, parsing the words that cleanup borg reads to find provable, trustless data.
Proof borg's (littlebiggy.org/4821348) 1st objective is analysing contests for provably fair results, thus preventing manipulated outcomes.
Despite the particularly computative nature of this borg, it's still all of our words that remain it's heart.

Yes, terrible people understanding themselves wishing to make this a better place for new vendors and biggas. We should hang our heads in shame 🙄.
As you can clearly see a majority of the community that has engaged actually totally agree about the wall. I would say that democracy is probably not on your side here.
Infact, I think only 3 people have had anything negative to say. 2 of those biggas joined in the same month of the same year and were supporting the other's abstract point and had both coincidentally been offline for 3 days at time of writing so, that means 2 people max in my eyes.

liz truss, democracy, post modernism and paranoid accounting. bigga please. this borg announced actually helping and doing something for us. if you care about the topics wall then it should be obvious that contests get lots of attention from the algorithm, they are starting to dominate the wall and presumably bs ones were proliferating. and we are talking about the front page for this site.
what are the choices they have here? they could be lazy and kill all contests (basically the reddit mod move) or even lazier and let the wall be filled with people trying to enter a zero barrier to entry scam.
this is why i gave you the link to the wall bot. if you have some ideas great, but let someone (something?) that's trying to help do their job.

Ad hominem attacks, invalid arguments, building a strawman.
It's clear you have some dog in this fight, I just wish you would be upfront about it and say, "Sorry Biggas, the wall is perfect and not going to get any better"
It should be obvious from the thread, that people think there are better priorities than comps.
The choice i suggested here is that if somebody doesn't sell an item for over a year, the item should disappear from the wall way before this for a more recently listed item.
You are trying to position this as merely a binary choice -"the wall stays as it is, or it is filled with exit scams"
You know as well as I do that the wall can be fixed without making it susceptible to exit scams.
I see you ignored every point about the fact that LB bots paying lip service to change, but rarely actually makes any.
It's true isn't it? That's why it feels pointless to actually message the wallbot.
I echo what Polly says, if the site doesn't want meaningful dialogue about how to improve, then just say so and we won't bother.

It would help if borgs worked with vendors to make contests provably fair instead of just deleting everything.
Everything can be made easier with a bit of dialogue.

It'd be really good if there was a "wall borg" that was as diligent as you say you will be on this subject.
There are vendors items on that wall that have had no reviews in almost 400 days. Given how easy it is for the owners of the site to make anybody they like invisible to the wall, I find this incidence really puzzling. I hope there is no favours involved in that?
On the last reviews of the particular example item I am talking about (there are many more items like this on the wall) 3 of the last visible reviews in the last 5 from over a year ago are saying the item didn't arrive, vendor ignored them and comms were really bad.
Meanwhile, some new vendors wait and wait and wait to get an item on the wall, but never end up there.
I think this is provably unfair, if I'm really honest.
The dominoes are falling in Europe - Czech and Germany are legalising soon. We will be at the hundredth monkey soon.
I love this place, I really do but the reality is that more of these kind of places will pop up as decriminalisation advances through the West, somebody will copycat the idea for a lightnet weed escrow service with a server in a legal country - and at this point it would not be too hard to change a few simple things to improve the model we have here.
I think the site owners really need to listen to the people who use this site and actually implement some changes that people suggest.
A good example was months back when everybody lost loads of money on Truss' and Kwarteng's historical mini budget disaster. Somebody started an initiative and hundreds voted FOR change to currency listing to £'s so we aren't all at the mercy of the exchange rate as well as btc fluctuation. Not a single fuck given by the site owners.
I don't think it will take alot to make this place hard to better.

As I read it “diligence” was the issue, not existence. But thanks for the downvotes anyhow🤷♂️
sorry but its one thing to see you consistently talk out of your ass and another to read accusations that come from the same place.
i do understand how tea leaf reading all day can lead to this though, the borgs do not give out a lot of information about how the wall works and the people that don't like outcomes are left to speculate.
on the other hand this seems pretty difficult, maybe impossible, search engines never disclose their algorithm because they don't want manipulation.
borgs have made quite a few posts about how things work. you're a class act polly, (no retributive downvote underscores this ;) ) and you care about this community we all love. its obvious these folks stand on their head to give users a voice and to do things right, there must be a better path for you than this.

I've been a mod on other sites and the thing is an open mic inevitably goes to shit. Idiots dominate because worthwhile folks get turned off so it metastasises. Curtail this and then you're censoring and that starts a shit vibe of its own. There is no such thing as a 100% win and if you think 50 50 is fair then you get increasing polaisation and a nasty mood all of the time. It's gotta be way worse when there is commerce at stake.
This post is a great example, here is a borg setting a very high standard for this community in an unobjectionable way, it's pretty much impossible to find fault with it or question motives but immediately people come in with their own agendas.
Good luck borgs

So, just to be clear, we as the community shouldn't make suggestions for improvement when we see an obvious conflict in priority when it comes to talking about fairness?
I think we all realise the nature of this place means no such thing as 100% win. It's not amazon, but suggesting improvements to the fairness in how the wall works (as well as the contests) doesn't seem to me to be objectively unrealistic in any way.

Of course not but
1 It's hella off topic for this post.
Have you ever seen a standard for contests that doesn't rely on authority? That's more relevant and a lot more interesting than liz truss.
2 How is it a "community priority" that the wonderwall reflect outcomes that an excluded group is going to, by definition, be unsatisfied with? Do you understand that this will *always* be the case and that with an open mic this opinion will always be voiced just like this, with a cabal of the effected very honestly believing they represent a consensus?
In any event I think the item walls is a frustrating place to shop and should be torn down like the one in Berlin, with charming bits left to reflect history :)
2 what exactly is the suggestion

2 what exactly is the suggestion
1. It was about fairness. I didn't engage an abstract discussion on post-modernism as a response.
I didn't say that there should be no standards, so in my eyes that's a bit of a strawman. It's OK to point out that some things are fair, but other things aren't right? Both things can be true. To what degree must we stay on topic? Especially as I ask why the diligence on this thing, but not on the wonder wall.
2. That as it may be - it's not really me that the wall issues effect - but i can see it from a mile off personally. It is new vendors and new buyers I feel it is unfair on which I am sure the site owners will hope are making up a significant majority for their own continued prosperity.
My suggestion is that if an item hasn't visibly sold any in 370 days, it probably isn't much in demand and a newbie may fall into this trap by not reading - it should probably disappear before this in place of a more recent listing (just in my opinion)..

You do know there is a Borg for ideas & site innovations don’t you?…(in fact there is a Borg for an awful lot of things). LB constantly invites Biggas to get involved and that’s the point- LB pays lip service to change but rarely makes any despite volume of voice. Why is it wrong to point that out?
I doubt anyone loves LB more than I do but they either want a meaningful dialogue or they don’t. I’m fine with it either way as long as I get to buy my weed😎

This is speculative but, I think the site may be in $ for 'legal' reasons. The servers are US based.
I agree that the owner could do better with prioritising changes, top of that list for me is all these fake vapes, or spice vapes that need testing and removing. Maybe even temp banning from the items wall for the vendors, as a deterrent.
If a vape is confirmed fake because the original brand doesn't even manufacture them in the first place, or there's obvious errors like spelling mistakes,.fake QR codes, why aren't they being removed?

Great sentiments, very well expressed.
Frankly I’m stunned by how much LB gets its Borg knickers in a twist over a few competitions being “demonstrably fair” instead of focusing on those things on the site that are “demonstrably unfair”.
Maybe “proof borg” will be a breath of fresh air 🙏🏽, but not if they are convinced that competitions are a real issue….

Agreed…
Why the sudden fuss over this when there are other more important changes to make. (Which have been mentioned on here for years) Never heard anyone complain about competitions. Lol

Honestly at this point it feels like they make us use $ purely out of spite I can't think of any other possible explanation now, can't just be lazyness when they have time for this sort of thing. Maybe they didn't like us asking so much.
the item writer they are currently building, it lets you set several different currencies.
Well its good to see it hasn't been ignored/forgotton over the years, I'll take back my comments as soon its implemented :)
We randomly select numbers for our giveaways using random.org, we also stream it on YouTube Live for everyone to see. I'm happy that something is being done regarding giveaways / contests, nice one proof borg.

The borgs picking the wrong fight,sort your wall out,fix the pricing from usd.i mean you got someone who's contributing to lb with giveaways to biggas and its getting jumped on.Theres more important stuff that needs fixing
Because it's declared a subjective contest.
The contest runner as judge is the basis of most subjective contests irl (think of tv shows). However in our case the declared winner is run against anti cybil algos that are used elsewhere on lb. We also have the voice of the other participants and the ongoing reputation stakes that drive analysis like this.

Seemed a bit harsh shutting Pistach latest contest down before even giving them chance to say how the winners would be decided.... I'm not saying that just because I entered btw! but surely if your point is to prove it's fair then you have to actually let the sellers prove it's fair?
You do have to love this. Biggy all involved in contests. People enter. They win. They don’t win. Nobody really cares.
When it comes to a payment system that doesn’t bankrupt everyone.
Silence. You ain’t seen us.
Vendors. Keep doing your competitions. Nobody gives 3 shits even if they are fixed. Nobody is losing.
And if all the drama is someone getting butthurt.
Meh. We’ve been there.

They have all been for manipulation to gain self promotion and unfair ness in community. - They are all "worked" like politics. Clearly easy to work out the agenda of it all. Yet others got smacked up for less.

Winter, always cold, gets dark early and snow which looks nice don't get me wrong but just turns into ice or slush after a while
Summer! I love it but hate it at the same time. I'd rather wrap up to keep warm then try and keep cool!
Sleep through summer probably.
Not much going on and it seems with climate change the warmer weather is in Autumn anyway now lol.

I used to avoid thinking about the period after Christmas New Years Eve but a couple of years ago I started to enjoy January's. I enjoy watching people frantically running around at Christmas and how there seems to be a collective mood of laid back workers. And not much can beat that feeling. People come together to help the homeless at Christmas. We just have more sympathy at Christmas and nothing can beat that. Honestly, I look forward to eating healthy in the January period, my brain actually craves fresh health meals and I have a fresher outlook on life in general.
Now I'd like to hibernate through it all equally 😂

Why Did Someone just send $1 million to Satoshi Nakamoto's Genesis wallet?
An unidentified crypto wallet on Jan. 5 sent some 27 bitcoin – worth $1.17 million at the time – to the first-ever Bitcoin address attributed to Nakamoto, shortly after withdrawing roughly the same amount from crypto exchange Binance, blockchain data by Arkham Intelligence shows.
Wallet's worth $50 billion btw.

I was wondering if there's any chance they were trying to put it in my wallet and got the wrong address, easily done if you're not using the QR codes🤞🏻
Apparently it's something to do with tax.they sent that amount because now they have to legally declare the amount to the tax man. ie trying to get him to doxx themselves at least that's what I heard.

I mean, I love those dank flavoured beans and combos already.
But the process to make them was amazing and they buff them with fucking wax 🤯

The Catholic Church is a Force for Good in the World : IQ^2 Debate
Fry and Hitchens take on the Archbishop and Tory MP
The Catholics needed a pedant on their side not a pendant. Taken literally this position gets a lot easier to defend.
I'm not sure trying to peg any organisation as objectively good or bad is possible, but also fuck the Catholic Church and all they are.
Already seen this you don't want to know my take as a Satanic/pagan Witch/warlock ... But i agree with stephen about most things. The part i can't stomach is that The church brag (Or used to) about their il educated followers from africa.. one reason why i returned to the ways of my old english ancestors.. in all things balance and respect for nature and our home.. Ave Lucifer the light bringer and Giver of knowlage .. Ave lilith mother of all witches and reflection of the black sun.
the word Devil means adversary... Rowling XD are you another one of those magic is the work of the devil hacks??
"Giver of knowlage..."
Well that all sounds pretty knowlagabel to me.
Were do I syne up?
Cheers BB 👌

XD lucifer before the bible... In Roman folklore, Lucifer was the name of the planet Venus, Also worshiped as a wisdom god.
Is spelling and grammar not a part of "wisdom and knowledge?" (or knowlage)
You'd have thought the old Lucibubs would've at least armed you with a dictionary.
Anyway, each to their own. ❤️

this explans it better https://partiallyexaminedlife.com/2020/02/25/lucifer-how-a-decent-deity-got-a-bad-rap-part-1/ and i was never very good at eather of those i was always more creative. XD i'll be the first one to admit i can't spell and my grammer since the net has gone to pot ... XD
There's nothing wrong with having limited spelling and grammar buddy, but I struggle to understand why you would come on here claiming "wisdom and knowledge" given to you by some dark force when you can't even spell the words properly....
I know nothing about open heart surgery, so I'm not going to claim I have "specialism in the field" when it's very clear I don't.
Wisdom has nothing to do with education, but to claim you have wisdom AND knowledge, because you worship the devil...
Yet you can't even spell 'knowledge'...
Sorry. But that needed to be called out.
Spelling and grammar are nothing. Manners maketh the man.
All the best and like I say, each to their own just please don't claim to have superiority in wisdom and knowledge by worshiping anyone, least of all the devil and witches.
Cheers BB

i don't worship any deity i work with them and i never claimed they gave me anything. the last part of what i said was just Veting or honouring the witch king and queen ( the male and female aspects of nature) i never claimed anything...
Fair enough buddy, sorry if I got the wrong end of the stick.
All the best ❤️

No problem BB also Keats and Einstein (sry for the spelling) couldn't spell so saying somone is not wise because they can't spell i feel is redundant. i guess what im trying to say even the dumbest of us can be wise. I mean even the dimist of sparks like myself still puts out a little light :)
Now you're making me feel bad. 😔 Sorry. I do post derogatory shit sometimes when I'm awake late.
You keep doing your thing buddy if it makes you happy.
Much love to you. ❤️

same G we are not perfect only human after all eh ? :) And i will, I feel what ever faith or not anyone follows if it makes them a better person it can only be a good thing right ? ... i just feel some where along the path people started to use it for control and not to help and heal..
I don't think I've ever heard or seen Widdicombe and not immediately wanted to scrape my eyes out and shove dynamite in my ears.
What a horrificly horrible and hateful person she is. Eugh
What a horrificly horrible and hateful person she is. Eugh
I don't like Anne Widdecombe at all, but from what I remember from this debate (I watched it a few years ago) she switched from Christianity to Catholoisim because of the amount of hypocrisy in the C of E.
Now don't even get me started on the hypocrisy in the Catholic Church, but I must admit I do somewhat sympathise with the point she was making.
You can't have a religion based upon a book that says "we don't agree with homosexuality" then just ignore that view because it's no longer popular.
It's like the Christian Church is now willing to ignore any of its doctrines just to remain "relevant", and get some likes on Twitter.
If you're going to be a bigoted religion, at least own it.
I'm not really into arguing about religion or politics, and I'm neither religious nor particularly political, but I do have to admit a begrudging respect for any religion that at least sticks by it's dogmatic roots, however ridiculous those roots are.
That's pretty much all I got from Widdicombe that was worth thinking about.
The rest of her nonsense....isn't worth anyone's time.
Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

All versions of Christianity ignore some parts of the bible because it's not popular. The Bible says not to wear two different types of fabric at once, and to sell your daughter to her rapist, but no Christians are abiding by that. They are all as bad as each other, to pretend like she's calling out hypocrisy by changing from one hateful religion to another is so deceitful, another part of the reason she is scum.

Where to buy Solana USDT?
started topic
On exchanges like Kraken, Moonpay, Crypto.com etc you just buy USDT and when you go to withdraw you can select which network you want to send it on.
If your exchange doesn't support it then you can send Solana to Phantom and use Jupiter Aggregator to swap into USDT.
Alternatively some wallets like Exodus have swap features although the fees and minimum swap amounts can be drastic.

Anti-hunger molecule forms after exercise
You're not only burning calories you are restricing them as well!
makes total sense, I never want to eat after exercising, or could this be because the digestive system shut down during exercise and takes a while to get going again? Like after a 100m sprint I can't touch food for at least 30min-45min.

we've just increased the reward by 1,000 usd thanks to a seller that graciously pledged to chip in.
but you don't need to do code or invest to bring a new payment processor to little biggy, you can help by simply letting developers know about this community and our opportunity within it. lb is a place you can't believe is real at first (it happened with us) so finding good people to join us is challenging. your endorsement or intro goes a very long way.
if you know a dev let them know about this, or if you have a chance, just spread the word.
thanks :)

0 criticism towards anyone trying to help so not sure where you pulled that from.

Hope you can help with this 🙏

Very generous of the vendor, but the amount of profit this site brings in on a daily basis, a few thousand is literally pennies.
Why are vendors having to chip in? The owner should increase the reward themselves for everyone's benefit. Money talks, if the incentive is high enough the job will get completed.

Owner still should be the one funding this regardless of where the money come from off the vendor.
Either way, hopefully it gets implemented soon 🤞

I really hope something comes of this I've just made two small transactions and charged almost $40 in fees , unfortunately it makes purchasing weed on lb really bad value
All I see is people complaining about miner fee's why is there hardly any chat on here??
All this so called intelligence on here where are we with this?
Is anyone doing anything to move this forward or do we just like to moan and chat when no one is actioning??

Please can we date stamp so we can start to see some progress.

Items not as described
Placed my first order on LB last week and I was disappointed to see what I ordered was not as described, what was described as a quality bud was mid at best and certainly not worth £300. These purchases were made through trusted vendors.
Does anyone have any vendors they can recommend who are honest about the quality of the description of their stock?
Edit: I cant post on the Topics page?

Contact vendor as first port of call.
I’ve only had a couple of duff ones and those few vendors either sorted it or have been blacklisted from Apex rotation 🤜
From my own PURCHASES my current hot picks for Green.
Riley Packs
Keep it Green
Green cat
Got a couple of orders out on new vendors so I’ll write them up if / when they land 😂
Loads of other good eggs too, best advice is read write ups and scan reviews to back it up.
Pistachio used to be good but bombed off Apex advice list due to bud roulette experience from myself and others!

Hi Apexskunk, thank you for your suggestions. I'll try the vendors you listed, hopefully their descriptions actually match the product.
Canadian imports have never let me down quality every time i have been using them for over a year without any problems. Also, shroom of the loom and green cat are great to deal with
All above also get 🦨 approval
There’s gassed too who is rapid delivery, same with green thumb.
Druids and bulldogs are ones to watch out for and rumour has it drops coming at some point??

Couple of tips from a 4 year regular on here who buys twice a week
avoid large orders at all costs till you've learnt who you can trust and who you cant, you really do have to carve your own path on here, all of our vendor opinions can only help guide you to a certain extent, everyone's experience will still vary by a lot
even with my most trusted vendors i rarely order more than 3.5 / 7 at a time, mostly because 95% descriptions on here are just either intentionally vague, or they are straight copy and paste from google which is 110% useless, it has absolutely no relation to the specific batch of a strain you're buying whatsoever
i'd rather order 3.5 of something, see if it's got what i'm after, if it has i'll get a larger order in right away, if it's whack i'll pick something else next time instead of being stuck with an ounce of dogshit
to give you an idea of how difficult it is to find something worth repeat ordering, 4 years, 2 buys a week, maybe 20% of the weed i've ordered i would buy again, it's tough out here honestly!

Excellent comment. Thank you for your insight. I think I'll start doing the same and start buying smaller quantities until I know the product is as described.
"95% descriptions on here are just either intentionally vague, or they are straight copy and paste from google which is 110% useless, it has absolutely no relation to the specific batch of a strain you're buying whatsoever"
This is exactly the trap I fell into. Falling for what seems to be intentionally incorrect descriptions in an attempt to fool the buyer.

Sucks mate, had plenty of issues one way or another as well.
At this point the only seller I have used that hasn't fucked up is Eddys Hashbar/edibles. He has gold but it's too pricey for me currently.

Yeah it's really annoying. I now have £300 of mid weed which is either going to be sold on a deal or made into edibles. Bad experience so far, thanks for the seller rec, I'll check him out.
Canna zone all day long m8 . I was sick of buying shit then came across him and ive been smashed ever since 🥴and he hasnt rinsed my bank lol YET
make sure you reflect this in the review, we are the only ones responsible for overrated items.
Don't let it discourage you mate, there's some quality vendors on here, also check reviews before buying anything
Thanks. Im trying not to. I do check the reviews but they are not always accurate it seems. There were a few 10/10 reviews of the bud I bought, clearly they've only been smoking weed for a few weeks if that's their opinion of a 10/10.
The stock reviews 1-10 are usually shite mate, many put 10/10 just for something arriving 😂
I’ve noticed a slight change in this over last 6 months though so I think people are trying.
Lots of people take time to write them up, usually these are a bit more descriptive.
You’ll find a few that work for you and some vendors are actually decent 😂

Yeah, that seems to be the case, people giving 10/10 just because it turned up at their door. Hopefully I find one, nothing but disappointments so far.
Speaking of which, i cracked a little smile recently after seeing your 10/10 review on the Blueberry Muffins from the Pontiff, in the review you said thanks to whoever reviewed it previously as it made you order it, that review was me :) will start signing off my reviews with - Hesh, similar to how you do it!

Today's World
Posting this here as I need a conversation on it. Any time I try to speak to people in reality I'm met with a reaction that I'm a conspiracy theorist. But I can't be the only one who is finding less joy or hope in the world. I have felt like Littlebiggy is one of the last places you get any decent service or consideration from people.
People don't care about other people's lives anymore and this has been very notable since the pandemic. Society is completely non existent a part from what is on people's phones. I don't see anyone I know making plans together as much. I feel a distinct lack of joy from the majority people I meet. I try and be sociable as I have always been but the ignorance makes me question this approach.
Am I alone in thinking this??? or have I needed to consider a T break long ago. I don't plan on giving up as weed is a mainstay that helps me but probably
I think too deeply at times.
To sum up, this seems to be the easy period of history for humans to survive as life is easier but that doesn't mean it is any better. Technology is making us all individuals and it is making me lose hope. I remember people being more fun and actually caring about others. Don't see that much or at all now.
Please discuss 😆

“Loss of Hope” is a very real condition and is hugely responsible for modern freakish levels of depression, anxiety and suicide.
Faith and trust have been eroded. The pandemic shone a harsh light on the weakness and ineptitude of global governance and our institutions. We feel helpless and vulnerable to future crisis, be it economic, health, mass migration or climate change.
In the Western world, democracy is failing us and capitalism actually IS eating itself.
Ambition seems drained. I know young people who don’t only have no idea what they want to do but can’t decide if that matters. Amongst older people I know ‘Quiet Quitters’- those who boast of doing the very minimum required to not actually be fired, normally working from home that they now insist is an entitlement. I know people adept at crafting lives on benefits.
As a result I think people deciding they need to ‘look after #1’, and whilst this may sound like a noble intention it manifests itself as getting whatever you can and gaming the system. He who stores the most toilet rolls during a shortage ‘Wins’!
Lack of trust breeds cynicism and disrespect. Conspiracy theories rage across the plague of social media. Ultimately we feel helpless- we know The Storm is coming but we don’t know how to stop or even influence it.
So how do we cope? zz87 gives a great list of examples. Sometimes we have to get out of our own way and out of our own heads and do things just for others (which of course I don’t do nearly enough).
There really are huge benefits to unplugging devices and listing what is good right now in our lives. During a few hard times I’ve asked myself “what are the things I really enjoy most in life?” and then relentlessly pursued those even when shamelessly hedonistic. I still find old friends hugely therapeutic- probably because we only talk about the old times!😂
And I get high every day. And drink fine tequila. And know one person loves me. All of which make me happy…😍

This might not apply to you since you said you try to be sociable but a lot of people spend too much time online and I think any bigga struggling with the modern world should consider that. Stay away from the internet! (except for littlebiggy ofcourse! haha).
Just live your own life, your life is small, your life isn't a global network of american-led idiots who have formed a virtual mob to have a faux opinion on everything that doesn't involve them so don't worry about those losers and go outside and live that nice life that you're dreaming of.
Don't let your life be all about work/money either slow things down whenever you get the chance. Walk by a river, go to the countryside, go to the beach, go to a museum, go to a library, a walking tour, a sports event, an art class, join a hobby club, volunteer, plant some seeds, get on a train or a bus to nowhere... go do real life outside things and notice the people who don't have a phone in their hand, those are your new friends. There's still lots of nice, friendly caring people out there, they just don't have social media accounts.
Also if you can join an environmental group near you; litter picking, river cleaning, beach combing, tree planting, biodiversity conservation, there is always something worthwhile to be done. Some people will huff and roll their eyes at that but if you want to feel good then do good... that's all I say I'm not preaching.
Either that or sit in your filth and misery and join the internet mob in raising your blood pressure by virtually yelling at clouds.... there are no right or wrong answers its your life!
I wrote this as a reminder to myself as much as anything else btw... go get on with your own life ZZ! :)

- poverty is as its lowest point in human history.
- less people dying from war than any point in human history.
- access to travel, entertainment and even fashion are at their highest point in human history.
there is something going on for sure but it's deeper than the economy or social conditions which our ancestors would have killed for.

You read Steven Pinker I guess? Aside from his methodology being suspect, his thing hinges on confirmation bias ala Fukuyama; just because it hasn't happened yet don't mean it won't. We have the weaponry to make WW2 look like Disneyland. Even with the conventional, Rwanda managed 500000 in 2 months.
And bread and circuses are as old as the hills. Rick Owens don't make nuclear winter proof clothes.

Polly touched on something that I found to be hugely beneficial and that is helping others as much as you can.
Even if it’s only your own circle of friends/family start there and work outwards, help a local charity or whatever you can do to help someone local in need…
Do what you can to help others less fortunate is something I live by and there are loads of ways you can do that that don’t need explanation, you’re adults you can work it out! :)
Also, I got rid of any social media crap apps a few years ago and it’s such a relief not to check the bloody phone for hours on end staring vacantly at a screen.
Get out and about, go for a walk with your loved ones or even just on your own for half an hour makes a huge difference.
Physical exercise is also really important. I usually run a few times a week and as I’m in my mid 50s I’m almost the same weight I was when I was 18 which is incredible, and that’s down to exercise and another really important element - eating healthily.
Take regular breaks from imbibing, I’m on an enforced one at the moment as picked up a nasty chest infection. It does wonders to abstain from indulgence once on a while. It cleans out the mind and keeps you fresh. Also try and drink lots of water every day at least 4 litres if you can although 2 is fine, you’ll be surprised at how much dehydration affects your physical well-being.
Smile. Smile when your talk to people or if you make eye contact (generally) I’m not talking about grinning like an idiot at folks, that liable to get you some funny looks!
Read a book, I also try not to watch the news so much on tv. Try and read trusted news sources either in print or online.
Don’t watch garbage tv.
Try and create! If you enjoy drawing or painting or have something you can physically ‘do’ is such a useful de stresser.
The key to happiness for me is how I treat others. Simples
Even if it’s only your own circle of friends/family start there and work outwards, help a local charity or whatever you can do to help someone local in need…
Do what you can to help others less fortunate is something I live by and there are loads of ways you can do that that don’t need explanation, you’re adults you can work it out! :)
Also, I got rid of any social media crap apps a few years ago and it’s such a relief not to check the bloody phone for hours on end staring vacantly at a screen.
Get out and about, go for a walk with your loved ones or even just on your own for half an hour makes a huge difference.
Physical exercise is also really important. I usually run a few times a week and as I’m in my mid 50s I’m almost the same weight I was when I was 18 which is incredible, and that’s down to exercise and another really important element - eating healthily.
Take regular breaks from imbibing, I’m on an enforced one at the moment as picked up a nasty chest infection. It does wonders to abstain from indulgence once on a while. It cleans out the mind and keeps you fresh. Also try and drink lots of water every day at least 4 litres if you can although 2 is fine, you’ll be surprised at how much dehydration affects your physical well-being.
Smile. Smile when your talk to people or if you make eye contact (generally) I’m not talking about grinning like an idiot at folks, that liable to get you some funny looks!
Read a book, I also try not to watch the news so much on tv. Try and read trusted news sources either in print or online.
Don’t watch garbage tv.
Try and create! If you enjoy drawing or painting or have something you can physically ‘do’ is such a useful de stresser.
The key to happiness for me is how I treat others. Simples
People are more callous, many are brought up from childhood to be like that.
The elite are rushing their plans through and it's causing a lot of folks to notice.
There's less money going around now, more stress in the world, America is being systematically destroyed from the inside like many western countries.
Don't let your identity be what you consume or wear, smoke the herb and enjoy it, try appreciating nature, get out and breath the good air, don't be around people that suck the life from you.

I think weed allows you to question everything you see and hear. Again, probably too much at times but it is worrying what is going on.
My "bubble" is ok and makes me happy but it's the interactions I have with others out with that which leave me drained. Conversations present as a struggle for most and there's just a lack of interest shown to anybody.
I envy the era my parents grew up in. There was no money then too but at least people had a bit about them, style, music etc

Mark Twain once said history doesn't repeat itself it often rhymes. I like that. I think life has a rhythm to it, we just have to figure ours out.
I got 'bit' when i was in my late teens, and have been a Christian all that time, it helps, China has a social status system in place, it could be worse, least we can buy what we want.

When you are told how to think and what to do, and this is policed you are dealing with a cult.
That cult is ran by legacy media, the associated press which is directed and supervised by state tentacles.
No NGO is really independent and all wrong think means that you don't deserve any due process.
Look at the Brand situation. Without talking about whether he is guilty or not (which I really have no opinion on yet as nobody really can) - don't you think it's all a bit weird to come out now? It wreeks of a psyop but interestingly i don't think it's about him.
It's about seeing if 50% of people are OK with the state punitively cancelling his prosperity with their sway before he has had a fair trial.
And it seems, that like always, the unwitting enablers of throwing out due process are the progressives screaming only for Brand's blood. Ironically the same ones that absolutely loved him when he was being overtly sexist in 2010.
It stinks to high heaven. The lot of it. I'm done trying to convince anyone. we are 100% at 1984.

Permar crisis, there is constantly something up.
It’s as if the human race is at the precipice of a huge event, you just look through history and the signs that are left following the extinction of advanced civilisation most of the time wiped out by nature or an asteroid.
The only difference now is we are now capable of wiping ourselves out.
Like who knows, maybe the reasons of all this heightened UAP stuff happening maybe extraterrestrial are aware we are close to another mass extinction and are just closely monitoring.
But I guess the reason people’s fun has been taken away is because more and more people are waking up to the fact that they are working their arses off to make richer people rich. A lot of people can’t afford a meal, the fact that I see more people who sell drugs donating to food banks than the corporations that don’t give a duck but pretend to do so.
Dystopia is here, buckle up, light a joint, look after your loved ones it’s gonna be a wild ride!

Agree there's something happening soon. We're constantly getting educated through tv, social media. Edgy humour has gone, we are all too serious for that now
I can’t write anything as well put but yep it’s all going to shit, but I’m hoping this is just a process the elite are crumbling. I’ve been watching closely and do believe consciousness is rising on the planet at the moment and the end for them is near now that’s why they are scrambling round being as evil and money grabbing as they possibly can. Look up the age of Aquarius it’s not just a spiritual point in time but our planet has now shifted into a different atmosphere, very cool.
Is it possible that our " vibrations are being manipulated?
Surrounded by WiFi, 5g, 440hz, radio etc. All of them in wave like structures, energy in motion.
Traumatic news, concerns of the future, war and all that jazz, messing with our vibe.
Is it possible to raise our vibrations?
I really don't know the answer. Some people swear by it and others mockingly laugh and call it woowoo.
With that being said, and, taking on board other people's suggestions, I find joy, peace, oneness with the freeness of being outdoors (natural, helpful substances are recommended) the place to be.
I hold the view that, in a complex way, we are all interconnected. Cat, cow or banana we all have the same origin.
I belive we have lost our sense to be human. "A point of perspective with an infinite source of wisdom" as Robert E.Grant put it. And, it seems, nobody really seems to see whats going on. Or do they?
Again, i have no answers but the more I see, the more i cannot unsee.
On that note, I recommend taking a look at his simulation theory vid on YT just to see if anything resonates.
https://youtu.be/Ayc3BXG-p9w?si=K7Ti3ugl8VZ4DqxP
Psychonaughts recommended that and I found it fascinating.
One thing I find also. The more focus you put on it, the more you see it or attract it. Sometimes you can recognise a side of you as it. Lessons can be learned. Energy goes where energy flows.

can the USA be fixed?
not enough young people, not enough people moving up economically.
can the USA be fixed?
in England we grew up loving American cowboy movies and the hero was always the same: quiet, cool and strong. to an outsider it seems this guy is dead and the cunt that owns the town and is always looking for more is the new America
Yes, if people like the ones at Emmanuel AME Church in Charleston become leaders.
there has been so much more killing since then and as beautiful as this inspiration is, its hard to imagine there is enough love anywhere to stop the mass murder that is part of regular life now
Nasa is the best ambassador the US has, if they took 1/3 of the military budget and put into space travel the US would be back like Jordan.
Space travel for what? Branson is going to operate consumer flights, but how many times can billionaires fly to ISS before they get bored? Not many people can afford $150k for a short vacation.
tourism will always remain in the back seat. the commercialization of space has been about serving the planet as a whole with communications, its brought up the un-cabled world just like mobile phones have brought up the last mile. there is huge potential in energy production and distribution coming next.
Branson has sold tickets for twenty years without delivering a ride not sure how he is relevant to anything here.
space travel for discovery, learning and inspiration. the world could really use a moment of peaceful triumph.
Elon Musk estimates 5-10 years to get to Mars. At present the cost is $1 Billion per ton, so it'd need to be 1/1000th of the cost, apparently. The ship will also need to be reusable.
Traveling Mars is also not a point and shoot mission. You have to coordinate launches with the alignment of the planets' orbits to travel the shortest distance and not fly past the sun. This also requires a stay on Mars as you wait for safe realignment after landing. Current technology estimates a 21 month round-trip given a ~3 month stay on Mars. Money is not the biggest hurdle.
go open source, add new states, virtual citizenship and most of all healthy competition with other nations not war
Competition in what? Our largest industries are healthcare and pharma. Getting Americans to change is a huge hurdle.
competition for new citizens, with decreasing population the game is going to change and the usa at least remembers how to play
No, this country is cursed, theres a lot of bad karma waiting.

Peter Breggin. MD, former psychiatrist who took on the APA when profit motive became greater than the hypocratic oath doctors take to "first, do no harm", became the conscience of Psychiatry. Later in life he has runs a radio show exposing those persons involved in the Globalization Movement that is quickly eroding the common person's civil rights and creating barriers to those who choose to leave a work culture where your boss becomes your God and if you are lucky, you may receive paltry insurance and limited sick leave....the US is a nation of brainwashed drones who.probably have never had an original thought in their lifetime.
Dr Breggin advises us little people to organize and speak up....be a patriot....but look who we are up against....
Any lbs out there know of a better place to live where meager pensions are paid to elders who have to live on $2k a month and paid in Social Security taxes since they began work over 30 years agos. Thanks to Ronald Reagan and others like him repealed the formation of a self sustaining retirement system that President Clinton wanted.....
This is the tip of a gigantic iceburg to which any organized public outcry can be crushed by the Patriot Act.
Not to mention US top organizations, including the military, continue funding the weaponization of a once benign bat virus...
Population control has begun....freedom of speech has been compromised by media spin doctors, and a true Republic has turned communist......these globalists like Bill Gates, President Biden, George Soros, and anonymous billionaires are acting against law and liberty to defund any classes of us with little money, and spin doctor the media to brainwash us to believe we are having racial tension; what really is happening is class warfare.
Why do billionaires want just their money but the commoners money too? How much is enough to live on?
I get mad and feel compelled to stop the US from becoming part of the Communist Party of China.
Rather than dwell on frustration, I will smoke some kush mints so I can even sleep!

The population grew to large. The citizen / individual is now a defunct concept. Group politics prevail. Democracy is dead.
The country is too big to properly manage. To many different rules per state. The poverty and opioid epidemic is absolutely shocking beyond belief. Equality issues. Mad presidents and to many super rich families. Now
Let’s all head on down to Walmart to keep that cycle continued 😁👍

This guy never existed it was all hollywood fiction,now they are more likely to show America defeating the universe and saving humanity as they struggle to try and persuade everybody they are still the good guys and not a bunch of screaming mad nazi thieves going about the planet threatening other nations and causing wars and misery where ever they go.
americas greatness came from common values attracting immigration from around the planet. make that again and yall have a chance

The First Anarchist
Pierre-Joseph Proudhon was a 19th century French politician that was the 1st person to declare themselves an anarchist. His basic message was to stop fighting the state and simply ignore it.
My bigga.
My bigga.
It's a shame that anarchy has been conflated with chaos instead of free and voluntary association.
It wasn't do nothing. He proposed a mutualist economy compete with the capitalist one, what Lenin would later appropriate as dual power, to eventually subsume it. In practice, it is questionable if he even was an anarcho; he sat in parliament, was against strikes and revolutions, and advocated for money in the form of labour vouchers.

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of a storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
For your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of a storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
For your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
At the end of a storm there's a golden sky. And the sweet silver song of lark. Walk out walk out with hope in your heart and youl never walk alone youl never walk alone! Liverpool all the way for me. Love all

epitalon cycle
epitalon potentially increases the natural production of telomerase. does anyone know how to take it?
if you're talking epitalon its injected under muscle or skin daily for 10 days.
orally you can use endoluten which is extracted from cattle peneal glands. 20mg a day for 20 days,
orally you can use endoluten which is extracted from cattle peneal glands. 20mg a day for 20 days,
So this is a synthetic peptide, not the extraction from bovine pineal glands?
One of the first confirmed cases of vCJD was in a French body builder who took bovine growth hormone that was extracted from the pituitary. Very interesting case.
That's something that's stuck in my mind for many years. Probably longer ago than learning that your telomeres degrading goes pretty much hand in hand with aging. Think I need to look at more recent research papers on PubMed.

That cliff top and billowing clothes! Fuck, I'd forgotten about this too! Add that and Peter Cetera's solo career to my list, and Chicago.
First record I ever bought as 9 year old was T. rex ride a white swan, second was Rolf Harris !
If you want really embarrassing, first ever gig I was 15 and got asked by bunch of friends to go to a cliff richard concert, not a cliff fan but went as fancied a girl. Two songs in realised it was a religious tour, no devil woman tonite.
Still cringe at memory of everyone holding hands and singing allehluya.

I have electric 6s gay bar on vinyl, doesn't represent who I am or even my favourite genre of music, I just think it's a tune. It does raise questions when someone notices it for the 1st time, especially if they've not heard it, because I then feel the need to make them hear it and agree it's a tune
Unbelievably good live. Saw them play a Barfly not long after they'd released that single. Amazing band. Have the album on vinyl.
Jolene - Dolly Parton. Love it.
On other end of my collection is Ready or Not, DJ Hype Remix.
I'd say my record collection is a bit "eclectic"! Haha.;)
Cheers BB

Jolene is never embarassing, well at 104db past a funeral precession maybe other than that Jolene is part of every good collection.
I'm told by others that it's this. If it comes on the radio though you are having Tiffany sung at you full blast, possibly slightly out of tune, and I don't care.
Not in my collection per say but definitely listened to it more than I’d like to admit back in the day 😂 who remembers princess superstar bad babysitter😂😂😂
Saw her live about 20ish years ago. Was great. Have a limited edition Frank Kozik poster (photo added) advertising one of her New York shows. Love Kozik's work from around that time. Had an awesome one advertising a show by The Oblivians (if you don't know them, look them up) too, but that's not near mint like the PSS one as it spent a lot of time on walls in various houses.

Just say no (to content): Nietzsche’s surprising “information diet”
“read well: i.e. slowly, profoundly, attentively, prudently, with inner thoughts, with the mental doors ajar, with delicate fingers and eyes.”
"Have you not heard the madman who lit a lantern in the bright morning hours, ran to the market place and cried incessantly, 'I seek God!, I seek God!' ... Why, did he get lost? Said one. Did he lose his way like a child? Said another. Or is he hiding? Is he afraid of us? Has he gone on a voyage? Or emigrated?... The madman jumped into their midst and pierced them with his glances.
"'Whither is God'? He cried. 'I shall tell you. We have killed him - you and I. All of us are his murderers...'"
"...the madman fell silent and looked again at his listeners; and they too were silent and stared at him in astonishment. At last he threw his lantern on the ground, and it broke and went out. 'I came too early,' he said then; 'my time has not come yet. This tremendous event is still on its way, still wandering -it has not yet reached the ears of man."
In these passages Nietzsche is showing the inevitable unfolding anthropocentrism (lit. putting man at the centre of the world) implicit in philosophy since Kant. If we view our existence through human categories, then our concept of God is itself a human creation.
Nietzsche is not simply asserting his atheism; he is suggesting that once we are aware that the concept of God is our own creation we can no longer base our religious and moral beliefs on any notion of a divine external reality.
In the period that Nietzsche was writing, the death of God was just beginning. Western thought was starting to face the prospect of a radical change in its orientation, and it wasn't quite ready to own up to it yet.
Kierkegaard and Nietzsche represent opposite reactions to the inability of rationality to give a rock solid theoretical proof of God's existence. Kierkegaard calls for us to embrace God even if it seems an absurdity, while Nietzsche says it is time for us to create a new mode of being, with human creativity at its centre.

why should we care about backward countrys that send nothing but hate??? time to take care of your own and screw everyone eles .... tired of people trying to guilt trip you just because you live in a slightly better place...
I hate mankind there is nothing humain about people. And nothing smart about people who have children they can't look after ... you make your bed you lay in it.... wish i could not be held accountable for my actions and people would give me free stuff and let me into countrys Illegaly and not put me in prison or deport me ... guess im not the right colour or religion or i've not been opressed enough ???

New crypto regulations

New crypto regulations
Does anyone know anything about this? I recieved an email today from Revolut saying that from tomorrow I will need to give more information when withdrawing crypto, ie, the persons name im sending to, my address, etc. Anyone else had anything like this?
I had it from luno today it panicked me a bit at first then I just put in a made up name(bound to be somebody's name)from the UK and it all went through fine💚✌
How on earth they gonna verify that if it goes to a non kyc wallet 🤣. It's clutching at straws to be seen to be doing something to regulate. After that UK banking license.
How long before they start analysing the names and notice that Don Incognito seems to be getting a lot of payments?
Reading back through this, you're actually talking about KYC requirements for yourself? You have to sign up with that with almost any exchange. It's not new.
No. Im not. Ive been through all that long ago. Im talking about new crypto regulations in the uk, as ive already stated. Id done all my KYC requirements. Now im being asked for this info while buying btc in my usual way
So how do you get around id verification with a fake name? Im now being asked for driving licence, name and address anywhere I try and buy btc
Seriously. Is this honestly how easy it is to get around these regs by giving a duff name? What about giving your address? Ive not tried yet and just made a purchase yesterday, but surely it cant be as easy to get around as that
Hi, I received the same email from Revolut.
I've just made a transfer to them in GBP from my bank account, then bought BTC from my Cryptopay wallet, ( no questions asked from them yet!) , using the linked Revolt card, this went through ok.
I've just made a transfer to them in GBP from my bank account, then bought BTC from my Cryptopay wallet, ( no questions asked from them yet!) , using the linked Revolt card, this went through ok.
Yeah my crypto wallet is now asking for name, address and driving licence when doing that too
In fairness when I tried buying and withdrawing to transaxe from revolut about 6 months ago, I got someone asking where every transfer was going. Between that and the high fees I gave up with it.
Its not about that either. These are new crypto regs right across the board. Every answer here says either give a fake name or try this and ive had no problems. Ive tried a lot of different ways and with these new rules, I cant buy btc anywhere without giving name, address and drving licence
Believe me ive been through several different set ups getting around various rules. I buy btc in revolut and send to zengo wallet and that works fine but yes, fees. Ive been through coinbase and different banks but those have all been eliminated for me down to the banks blocking my crypto transactions. Its been a total headfuck at times with money disappearing and having the headache getting it back. The proverbial "they". Always spoiling our fun
I just buy on zen go and send to translate on zengo. How come you don't buy on zengo with banxa ?
Ive tried doing that but my bank wont allow it. Now Zengo and Revolut both ask for name, address and driving licence verification
Oh yes I have given all my details , I thought they want the address and name of the vendor your sending it too
Yes. You give all these details in registration. Im talking about these new regs where ive to give my name, address and driving licence when making a btc purchase. Ive had a look again this morning and both revolut and zengo are asking for name, address and id verification before I can buy btc
Strange my zengo has been fine and even if they ask for details sant we just give them again ?
I was the same. If you notice the payment still goes though so I have just ignored the request for more details.
I used it no probs at the weekend (revolut). I did find the other week it was asking for details after transaction so once all transaction was completed I just deleted the transaction. Good luck in solving your issue, where there’s a will, there’s a way.
Whats happening with me is im now being asked for all these details whenever I try and buy btc, wherever I try and buy. Im not going to give my name address and driving licence everytime I buy btc. Where is this info being stored? And by who? Its sketchy sketch and defeats the purpose of non traceability
The only thing I can think is maybe buying to much in small amounts and bank flagged you up. I’m new to this myself mate so my advice maybe useless.
Monzo just closed my account (well, gave me 2 months before they do so) I'm assuming because of weekly bitcoin purchases as I don't launder money and 90% of my spending is travel and takeaways with the odd Amazon or eBay purchases. All easily verified.
Looks like the end man. Was nice while it lasted. Back to my street plug and the just okay Lemon Haze I guess.

Don't go back to your street plug man. Get a suits me prepaid account. Open a high street account or get a starling account if online banking is your penchance and just transfer straight to your pre pay in order to buy.
I transfer from account straight into coinbase, then buy usdc and convert to bitcoin.
Never had any problems.

Yes but as of today, new regulations will mean you have to give more info when moving crypto around so they can trace everything. You will have problems in future

Long-Term Benzodiazepine (Xanax, Klonopin, Ativan) Use Destroys Neural Connections in the Brain
One of the worst groups of drugs to come off. Took me 18months to get off diazepam and it was hell! Avoid please biggas - natural highs for the win
Wow what dose did you taper from? I was an etizolam addict for around a year. 10 to 20 mg per day. Didn’t even know I was addicted until I just stopped and experienced severe withdrawals;( I did a two week taper which was not too bad considering
From 3x 10mg per day (that's as high as they start on prescription, I was using much more via online suppliers) Down to 1x 0.2mg then clean Oct 2018. Recovery groups helped a lot, and managed to keep my job despite a year off! I did fully relapse six months in and started again. Dr stuck with me and was really great. Big respect for quitting etizolam! Two week taper sounds a lot more reasonable. I had been using intermittently for a few years up to when i sought help...
So thankful for the natural way!

the economist ranks european cities
I don't understand how geneva does well year after year, it's boring expensive and the food is relatively meh.
The liveability index is based on several weighted factors: political stability, healthcare provision, education quality, etc. Geneva has a high cost of living so a rich population and so does well in these categories. Which is why this index is flawed, like you say: it doesn’t take culture into account very well (this is an aspect but it’s difficult to quantify and subjective) and only accounts for how current residents find it, i.e. those who can afford to live there (or those who are unable to leave on the flip side).
morons, they actually ranked calgary as the best place to live in north america

Most Timeless Artist?
Tom Waits. My all time favourite artist. Been putting stuff out for 50 years and never made a dud album IMO. And none of them sound dated.
Queen and Freddie Mercury...you only have to look at the age range and diversity of the fanbase.
Depends on your POV I guess.
Not Madonna that’s for sure 👀Damon Albarn. Jamiroquai. Guns N Roses. AC/DC. Think tracks from all of those and many more still sound fresh today.

encore
I see your Deftones, and I raise you Andrew W.K.
Not only a renowned party animal (that I once saw headbutt a 'water' bottle thrown from the crowd, and then he roared and carried on), but once a superb agony uncle too. Very insightful and very focussed, and so intense that sometimes you worry about the situation you're in, then you realise you're with friends, relax and let it wash over you and enjoy the moment.

I’ve had multiple nights on both and ‘Passenger’ by Deftones is on both my playlists that song absolutely smashes depending on what you’re doing and I get anyone who loves their music to listen to it!
Never done cocaine so not sure on that although I've chilled out plenty to them,love the white pony album,only band I've heard to include a voice solo instead of a guitar on knife party if I'm not mistaken,that woman can sing
I get where your coming from, I’ve always been a big fan but recently listened to them during a mushroom trip and damn they tapped in to some high consciousness shit, the vocals and the guitar on the b sides album had my eyes rolling.

The Alps, there are zillions of empty spots for every budget some have glaciers and they all have thrilling mountain rides that you only get in the summer.
I used sunweb for my skii trip in the alps, all inclusive 5 star resort with lift pass, flight, transfer and snowboard equipment for approx. £500 for 5 days. Absolute bargain! One of my favourite holidays. Lake Como in Italy is also great, been there twice now 👌 stunning views and immaculate vibes!
Explore the unknown that's available, especially places you've never considered. There is plenty to pick from once you open your mind. The best and most affordable trips start just this way.

When you look back in time, what year is the one year you would go back to in your life and happily relive again ?
How old were you? What are some of the best memories? I think my second year of university was an unforgettable year 😂 I definitely took it for granted and would love to go back

The time period after my GCSE's. Innocent but not so innocent. No responsibilities except selling weed, chasing girls and playing football
Exactly this lol I can never forget that year, GSCE finish early so nice long summer, completely free doing the stuff you mentioned
Honestly? Probably like 2 years ago when my current relationship was the best thing ever. It's rough now and I would give anything to have that back
16, one year before the last year of high school. Living in Switzerland during summer, eating mushroom chocolates, hitting bongs of Swiss Dank, swimming in Bodensea and being lost beyond belief. Ahh, the Swiss dream... :)
16. No doubt. 1996. Just finished my GCSE’s. Was in the 1st 11 school football team and we’d won the Surrey cup. Had a beautiful girlfriend who was that teenage first love. Brilliant football summer with Euro 96, (Sheringham, shearer and Gazza). Being British felt awesome (not like it does now). Amazing music. Massive oasis fan and knebworth was about to happen. All my mates together with their girlfriends. Drinking, smoking fags and soap bar ;) Had got into rave and hardcore and went to lots of little rave house parties. Absolutely magical. It’s my absolute happy golden place.
When I was 12, I had a 10 week break between going to middle school and secondary.
I lived on a new estate still being built among the woods, so there was plenty of material laying about for building dens, and plenty of unfinished buildings to climb on or mess about in.
We built fires and cooked sausages, drank the odd beer, smoked the odd fag and handed around dirty magazines. We genuinely thought we were the shit 😂.
The dens never lasted long as they either got pulled down by locals or rival kids, but that was all part of the fun. I even managed my first kiss and fondle that summer.

Now…the past is the past,I’ll always enjoy life now,know matter what’s happening even though I’m early fifties 😄
I thought I was 27 for 3 years - woke up on my 30th birthday and was completely ok with that. Just didn't fancy 28 & 29 that's all 🙄
The minute I grew up and found out the cruelty of the real world was the minute the fun stopped.
I know that sounds heavy and I always answer these types of questions like this, I got diagnosed as Diabetic when I was 11, mum died , up until I was 17 my dad and me were bumping heads and I hated it (not linked to my mum I was adopted my birth mum died) I had times after where good stuff happened but I feel like I got dragged through maturity quickly because loads of stuff went to shit because of bad luck In life, my dad used to get pissed and just rent every night about needing to grow up and make money, came in the night before my 13th birthday bladdered and went “you’ve got copied video games for your birthday you’re a man now so do you need to do silly birthdays ?” And it went on from there.
Struggled hard as a kid, was very clever but could NOT wrap my head around things and did what I could, got to uni after winging it for years and failed miserably, went from hated job to hated job and here I am now at 31.
Got my own mortgage , beautiful amazing wife and a baby due in 3 months but I’ve had a wall in front of me for so many things for years that I’ve never been able to explain or get past, the depression for the last 12 years where no treatment, meds or CBT has helped has made me so cynical, jaded and overall angry and disappointed with myself.
I looked at a diagnosis for ADHD in my early 20s and got dismissed as a young man after Ritalin and after 11 YEARS on the NHS register with nothing and 4 on two private lists I was finally diagnosed 2 months ago and started medication ten days ago.
Decided to tell my dad about it last night he linked a daily Mail article saying it’s a myth so I spent two hours disproving everything that article said and he basically just said “You’re fine as you are you’re just anxious “ I’m not anxious.
So the meds are supposed to be working now but you can’t mix it with other stimulants like coffee and I drink about 4 pints of coffee or energy drinks a day to stay awake, same for weed apparently conflicts with the tablets which I smoke daily and alcohol (drink when I get the chance to feel chill).
So even though I’m on meds and titration to see what dose works for me I’m drinking on holiday, was assigned them maybe last Monday? Had to get my Bichon put down on Tuesday he had kidney failure and it came out of nowhere and because he was so silly and daft still it broke my heart to watch the life leave his eyes even if it was the right thing to do, so I’ve got grief, depression and drinking all on at the go when I’m meant to be seeing if these tablets stop me losing my temper at the smallest change.
Sorry for ranting, this wasn’t even the question I’ve just listed off everything wrong with life. Just needed to get it off my chest it’s been brutal lately.
My answer though, probably 17 to early 20s. First time getting my feet out into the world, I was a little geek until I was about 15 until I started coming out of my shell and really capitalised on that from 17 haha tried a lot of new things did a lot of new stuff but ultimately I wouldn’t relive any of it, just trying to do my best now for the sake of my soon to be daughter and don’t want to be freaking out because I can’t handle her crying so meds it is.
It’s funny, they were only really prescribed at this crucial point because if I hadn’t had meds at this point (been getting told for 6 months it’s a few weeks away) my fear of not being equipped to be a man let alone a dad would have probably been causing me to have a mental breakdown at this point.
I don’t want anyone to think I’m asking for pity, I’m not I’ve survived this long and will keep surviving but I think all your choices in life have clearly led us to where we are now, and even though I’d love to be back getting a blowjob and a stripe and feeling like I’d finally gotten free, the lessons I’ve learned from them have taught me some very important life lessons.
Cheers

marx said people controlling the system of workers inevitably exploit the situation.
what if those people were a.i. programmed to control the system at 0 cost?

i think the other flaws of communism would eventually come to the fore anyway. Would be very interesting to see what A.I does with state capitalism however.
The original term ‘communism’ is surely people living together harmoniously in a commune? After all communes date back to the Stone Age where groups co existed.
It worked throughout history, invaders and tribal warfare repeatedly tried to derail what was an effective system of existence….

Marx & Engels write quite a fair bit about this "primitive" communism. Its part the Marxist/Communist argument against Capitalism.
Im sure we have all heard the phrase "oh but capitalism is human nature" but this couldn't be further from the truth. Capitalism has only existed 200 odd years for most of Human existence we have lived in more communistic communal ways.
when Darwin said survival of the fittest, this was not him saying the strongest wins, it is the species being able to adapt and the adaptive trait that shot Human kind straight to the top was cooperation not Capitalism.

surely there is no single element to human nature when it comes to economics. of course people share as well as trade, hoard and borrow to keep it all flowing.
capitalism and communism both arise naturally, it's not hard to see their equivalents among animal populations that fight over the same resources that they share in other circumstances.

more communistic communal ways 200 years ago - what do you mean because serfdom is what comes to mind.
I said capitalism has only 200 years not communes existed 200 years ago. But feudalism was still more communal than Capitalism. Peasants worked together on a plot of land that they paid for and were not dragged off to choking factories and confined to dense urban populations like the 1800s.
Before feudal rule however & things like the Enclosures in Europe, tribal community was the default for most human beings.
I recommend reading Marx and Engels early works or if you prefer a more modern take there are plenty of authors who have covered this section of history.

"what if those people were a.i. programmed to control the system" - we have this part, try working for uber.
"at 0 cost" - this is the communism part. possible with open source ;)

think of what c - suite execs are paid and every one of them can be replaced by an a.i. with existing technology. lots of them are just figureheads already.
Until technology is liberated from the capitalist mode of production & the private patents that create AI, then no. A.i under a communist government or socialist state could be used for good and help toward automation. Look to china where sophisticated computing has been used in public spaces to better traffic flow, keep public transport running and deliver goods and services. But A.I alone wont create communism. For communism to be achieved Revolution must happen first and the dominant ruling classes replaced so the means of production for AI are utilised by workers and not elites.
Also nice to know LB has comrades ;) nothing to lose but our chains baby !

China was the first to weaponise AI with the social credit system they are/were introducing.
As an aside, China just like the USSR before it, remain the barrier against actual communisation. When state capitalism dies out as an valid idea and there's no more pretence of an alternative, libertarian communism will gain traction.

Just a reminder that the China "credit score" myth was a false story pushed by American war hawks and imperialists in the state department -

Nor have they weaponised it anymore than say Europe has when it comes to taking out a bank loan or buying property.

"From the early 2010s, some cities indeed started scoring pilots. However, these gradually became controversial – even in China. The city of Suining reportedly deducted points for government petitions and online comments, Suzhou planned penalties for reservation no-shows or cheating in online games, and Rongcheng for littering or jaywalking. Many of these pilots were later criticized by official media or failed to materialize. The most common critiques were that scores illegally restricted citizens’ legal rights or tracked behavior totally unrelated to the notion of “credit”. "

Your own source sums it up pretty well -"The idea that China gives every citizen a “social credit score” continues to capture the horrified imagination of many. But it is more bogeyman than reality."
The point remains, one capitalist state may or may not be better than another. Neither have anything to do with communism.
I mean i think you're talking about tendency, when this particular post was talking AI.
I get your point you think Chinas capitalist.
I quite obviously disagree and so do most academics and Marxists at that.

It could.
Capital owners already exploit technology to reduce costs and lay off workers, ai is just another part of that.
AI and automation could be used to give people more time off, pay more for less work, improve work life balance etc, or it could be used in the way described above.
As with a lot of things, AI could be used to benefit people or it could be used to make billions of dollars, or anything in between.

Exactly why they're full of shit
I dunno, probably, but it must be bloody marvellous being a judge!…travel the world getting the most arse licking service in the most glorious restaurants, stick the whole lot on your expenses and get paid for doing it…next day, repeat….jeeeeeesus 🤢🥸
Back in the 90s it was a popular opinion that Michelin was heavily biased towards French cuisine.
Unsure about corrupt.
Unsure about corrupt.
Are there any points presented or is it just this question? Guide created so that people who were driving could find good, great, superb or outstanding restaurants that's still helpful today.
Have many people been to many Michelin starred restaurants? I've been to 7 so far in 3 countries, one many times, and I took my Mum to The Hand & Flowers for her 70th. If you have the means I highly recommend it as a treat. Not at all stuffy, but you can see where the money goes as you watch the team of staff interacting flawlessly, eyes darting around the room noticing everything. That's the one time I stretched to 2* and I don't regret a penny of it.

frustrating telemarketing scammers with chatbots
The company has a number of bots at its disposal all with unique voices and quirks that makes them utterly infuriating to speak to from the original Jolly Roger, based on the voice of Californian founder Roger Anderson, to distracted mother Salty Sally, who keeps wanting to talk about a talent show she won, to feisty senior citizen Whitey Whitebeard and more.

best image generator?

As much as people shit on it's censorship stuff going on right now, Midjourney is far and away from everything else right now. Unfortunately, it's a subscription service, so that might price people out.
Dalle is okay, but a bit outdated now. It used to be the cream of the crop but has been overtaken by other apps like MJ and Stablediffusion.
The cheapest but most fiddly option is definitely going into Stablediffusion, but there is plenty of guides out there online. I've set up my own following a guide I googled.

Depends what you're trying to acheive. Stablediffusion for high quality photos, MidJourney for stylised photography but it's a steep learning curve, moreso if you don't use D1sc0rd. DeepDream and Artbreeder are more art based but I've only really had a poke around on those.
Best place for beginners to start and learn prompts without $$ is Bing IMHO, be up and running in minutes. I use it for website graphics and imagery no problem, death knell for my stock photo returns though :( .
Looking forward to other replies.

Does anyone actually feel any medical benefits from smoking?
I'm a fairly healthy young guy so I don't really have any health problems at the minute so I've never actually felt any of the health benefits of cannabis. Dose it actually have as much effect as some people say? I would love to hear from anyone that does use it for medical purposes
thanks

64 y/o cancer patient, finishing (June 1, 2021) a 30 month, 18 treatment, 100 hours of chemo regiment.
When I was near death, I could not administer cannabis in any form. After I took my first dose of chemo, I was able to eat some RSO which helped me sleep.
By dose#2, I was utilizing at night for sleep, RSO or distillate. As I progressed, I was also able to utilize during the day & that is when I really started to kick cancer’s ass.
From month #3 until I was declared “cancer free” I enhanced my chemo fog with a cannabis buzz.
Did it help? A 30 year oncology nurse told me I was worst than anyone they ever treated who lived.
When I tell people I enjoyed my cancer experience...

I’ve been on a few anti depressants and promethazine for being suicidal and severely depressed and anxiety weed is the only thing that has worked for me when I’m without weed I notice my symptoms come back so I have to always have some on me in my honest opinion weed helps anxiety and depression.
Hope your doing alright now man, I agree weed does help me calm down and forget about all my anxious thoughts. I hope in the uk it will become more easily accessible for medical users
glad to hear you are better
u have purchased from us before i recall your username
we plan on having some super silver haze on the menu if that interests you or anyone here

I have a severe spinal condition, used to need codeine, pregabalin and naproxen all day everyday. Now when i have edibles it gets rid of my neuropathy or makes it more manageable most dsys without needed all those bad chemicals.
I use cannabis when my head gets too much (Borderline Personality Disorder), I've been prescribed benzo's in the past but they don't really hit home like a good old smoke does, and they aren't too good for you in the long run as they can be quite addictive.
Having a smoke can set me free from my mind which can be a blessed relief sometimes.
I must say though that I don't think cannabis is a "cure all" as such but it should be more widely recognized as being a plant with some healing/helpful properties that truly makes a difference to peoples lives.

I've heard that from a few people, are you smoking pure indicas or hybrid indica dominant?
Yes pal.. without a good strain I am completly paralized withoutany exaggeration, the only prescribed things that work for me are diazepam and they knock you out badly and are addictive as fuck so no long term things work for me but cannabis.
Im nearly 30 and my lower back where the spinal disc isloacated is buggered from years and years of grueling graft for a pittance.

Wait so can you not walk physically or is it too painful to walk? And cannabis “cures” it? No hate or judgement just curious
Canna coconut oil helps me with pain relief and depression. For the depression it's helpful for side effects of coming off anti - depressants. And pain relief for rehabilitation of a broken shoulder I'm get good benefit from vaping too
THC is a miracle drug for me. Use it for mental health treatment. My severe anxiety and depression slowly dissolves with every inhale.
What works well for you? I'm interested to know, if you don't mind expanding? I'm not anxious as such. Melancholy, yes... Horrendously overthinky, too.
Thanks
Thanks
I have been recently diagnosed with a life changing condition and the stress and anxiety that comes with that. Weed helps no question
It also helps with the side effects of the meds hat I am on and would not like to think what I would be like if I did not use it.

Yes mate I mainly use it for its medical benefits, I have anxiety and it calms me right down, nothing works as well as cannabis for me, would be good to hear from someone that has physical pain tho
which strains are you using for reduced anxiety because I have found some strains can sometimes make me feel even more anxious?
thanks
thanks
i've got a lot of complex mental illnesses (bpd, bipolar, ptsd and suicidal ideation) and when i'm feeling the intrusive thoughts creep in a joint can blow them all away. being high allows me to look at my circumstances with clarity and understanding rather than catastrophizing my life. i also have autism and adhd, and it helps with the need to fidget and gives me focus that i don't have sober. i can't watch films or tv half the time without having something else going on, like playing a game or reading a book or going on my phone, but after a joint i'm hyper focused on whatever's on screen. i actually only managed to finish inception for the first time after i started smoking weed.
Oh, you're dealing with an awful lot of things. Some of which I can really relate to as they are on my list too. It's good to know you can catch a breather by using cannabis.
Something else that worked for me is sound therapy. I've started to explore it more & I take part in sound baths or biofield tuning much more regularly and I'm actually starting a practitioner course tomorrow.
If you're a person who really responds to music (especially a deep, heart flipping bassline) then it's likely you'll benefit from something like a gong bath. Shamanic guided meditations are fab too. Each therapy offers something different. I felt very out of place when I first went but I just asked myself 'What would Louis Theroux do?' and imnersed every awkward, autistic part of me into the experience.
I'm definitely meeting more of the right people since I wandered down that path, a very unexpected and welcome bonus 🙏

i'll have to look into that! music and sound is a very core thing for me, i average about 2500-3500 minutes of spotify a week lol. i remember my uncle used to have those metal bowls that would produce sound if you traced the rim of them with an object, i can't remember what they're called though. thanks for sharing about sound therapy, i hadn't heard of it before! hope you have a great week bigga 🫡
Thank you & you're welcome. That's a singing bowl your uncle had ☺️ There's a lot of interest in them at the moment. Crystal ones as well as brass.
You can find quite a lot of sound bath/therapy stuff on Spotify but it's more amazing in person - that being said, I join a weekly group bio-tuning session over zoom (I can't believe I'm raving about all this Woo Woo stuff tbh) 😅
I'm big on recommending Alan Watts Lectures too, there's a chillstep remix playlist or some such. You might like it 🤞
It'd be good to hear your thoughts, if you do decide to explore the waves.
Stay groovy

Signed up to this place because one it means I am not relying on unreliable types at home and 2, most importantly my wife is a long suffering multiple sclerosis patient. I've made two orders on here and her mobility has increased and spasms/pain has reduced for her. I absolutely believe in the medical benefits and my wife is enough proof for me.
Hey Family,
Personally helps us with back pain, muscle relaxation and from mind being occupied with nonsense. It just puts us into good vibe , happy mode guess can be taken as medicinal benefit :)) it actually makes me personally wanna read and watch something to learn or curve a skill. Used to smoke 3.5G to 7G a day which has been reduced to 1-2 joints now and some of us still hitting the bongs on daily basis. Feel a lot happier and alot less lazier when reduced the smoke from 10-15 joints or hitting bongs to 1-2 Joints for nice 30-40 minute night walks, lost more weight and diet has improved too.

Suffering with chronic pain, and have ongoing history of anxiety and bouts of depression (when off the weed), suicidal and medicated at worst. Have had a variety of counsellors and cognitive therapies. I spent my early teens and entrie young adulthood battling physchologically due to always trying and never being able to quit ( because all other symtons increase always leaving me empty and eventually depressed and medicated), I have stints of over a year clean, but always feeling like I was behaving "wrong" and weed was an overall negative to life, I've hidden it professionally and socially and consumed everyday. I went vegan to prepare for a tea ceremony and life improved a lot after that, not in the first year but it led me to a new place mentally and over the course of a year in rumination (do not recommend to anyone) I unwrapped a lot of my past and saw a lot of the way I handled myself and I'm a lot kinder these days, to myself, I have a much better relationship with weed, I have surrendered to it and spend my life high now, still in secret.
A huge and major factor of the negative experiences I have lived through because of weed have been due to its legal status and stigma therefore attached.
My life is better now I have dissociated my views with the negative ones of others, I spend more time alone and work differently to nurture my addiction. I'm a lot happier for it overall.
To anyone who experiences stomach issues! Be aware of the CHS and don't get stuck in that loop.
Peace and love to all our time here is very short. If you consume cannabis I hope you enjoy it and if you don't I hope you can find your balance.

Over the years I have used weed successfully to quit nicotine, coke and most recently alcohol addictions... not all at once! All of which I have abused to self-medicate for ADHD and PTSD.
Once I made the decision to quit, I just stocked up with a big bag of weed, hid myself away for a week and smoked myself silly every time I had cravings.
It's an amazing drug for going cold turkey.
Be careful with quitting alcohol though, going cold turkey can cause life-threatening complications, much safer to taper off by a unit per day.
Now I just need to get off the weed 😂🤣😂

Spent years on numerous ssris, anti depressants, sleeping tabs, GAD tabs, PTSd tabs and more along with the compulsory CBT….
None truly “worked”
Weed does!!!
Better yet, clinically died a few times. Told my lung would never work at 100% again (it’s a long gory story)
Alongside years on morphine I was told to walk at the beginning.
2 weeks post ops and docs check in…
Wow “Apex” you’re keeping up with the walking, this is a miracle your lung is spread near 100%.
Well doc, I walk around the blocks for 5 mins smoking a joint and it’s just getting easier each day.
Doc had a face of pure shock but his comment was amazing.
“Well Apex, I won’t condone or advise against something natural that appears to have worked for you”!
More underrated than people will really know till you experience it imo

I personally use weed for anxiety and depression but occasionally helps with bloating and also arms and legs restlessness and numbness.
What I have found is that sativa’s generally can trigger panic attacks or at least crazy paranoia, palpitations and fear for me. My ‘sweet spot’ is a nice RSO in the evening and maybe a small indica spliff or dry herb vape and that usually works wonders
Peace and Love x

Yes totally. 49 years old been smoking on a recreational basis since 15 and never thought of health benefits until 1999 when I broke my arm. I was given big black capsules filled with pain relief but made me sleepy af. I was travelling across Europe when this happened and struggled like fuck driving back through Spain and France.
Finally got to Holland after 2 days of travelling and my wife was driving so I got her to stop in a border town & hit a coffee shop.
My arm was tight inside the cast as it was so swollen , by the time I had got half way through the first joint I could now wobble the cast around as my arm as it was now pain free and not swollen.
I have now had another injury which has left a decent sized piece of shrapnel under my right knee . have been told it can stay there even though its fucking painful.
I have also managed to kick alcohol tobacco along with lots of dance drugs from the late 80s and 90s and 2000s. Lol wtf
It does help for these things and also great for stress relief.

Smoking doesn’t have the benefits as ingesting for me but I have ASD (meditation doesn’t tend to work the same for me.) chronic pain and osteoarthritis it’s the first time in 20+ years I’m basically pain free (I feel swelling and pressure) ASD stopped me leaving the house to attend appointments, shopping or a basic family day out. It’s all disappeared I’m calm, less frustrated, near prescription painkiller free (opioid addict 2 years ago) and sober 100% sober and all since starting regular cannabis from this site yes it’s been that much of a turn around! It’s changed my life, I’m sure my family will agree 😂
Yea so my main symptom of ms is a crushing feeling running across my chest. It’s like a belt that’s way too tight but when I use cannabis it’s like that belt is letting a few notches loose and the crushing feeling goes from 10/10 to 4/10

ordinals as a hedge for btc fees?
btc fees have been violently fucked by ordinals, btc's version of nfts. they need to go away which is always a decent bet for fads. if they do, as btc users we win.
but if they don't go away they become extremely valuable. blockspace keeps getting bid up and the cost of minting a new ordinal gets crazy ☺️

Probably best to think before posting on here in future because if someone posted my stealth in detail, I wouldn't be so hospitable.

👍 Like I said mistakes happen, seen people in past talk about vendors stealth/layering in depth but I guess this stealth is more unique and didn’t think about that at the time was just over-happy with the service but I get it shroom. I’ll be more careful next time buddy no need to flame me more than anyone else has already😅 I understand the anger but I can't take back what I did only learn and that's what I'll take away from this, have a nice day
Hi benjiwby
Hardly your fault mate.
I'm fairly new here (4 months) and it took people like pollypuff and others - incuding some vendors - to teach me the basics.
I'm not sure who administers this site but if they read this a list of Do's and Dont's systematically messaged to a newly created user account would help.
Cheers

That’s actually a really good idea. 👍
If LB showed a list of FAQ’s or Tips when you register your account it would really help noobs.
I just couldn’t navigate it all to begin with, plus you think the whole thing must be a scam which doesn’t make it any easier to get started.😳
It takes quite an initial leap of faith to be a Bigga…

what scenario on earth has this putting you in jeopardy? if any sinister agent wants to know your stealth they can just order from you.
True, but vendors just have their own often unique methods, their USP as it were. It’s just an unwritten rule that details of their inventiveness doesn’t get spelled out in open forum. It’s the quality of stealth after all that keeps the whole PUP (Personal Use By Post) scene under the radar 👍👍
quality would go up if techniques were openly shared. there is no way to keep this stuff secret (its literally open for sale to everyone) but there is a way to learn from each other.
Everything’s great thanks mate 🤩
Well done on your perfect 10/10 rating so far- may have to pop by the store with my basket soon👍

Seconded! Stealth should be exactly that..Stealth equals secrecy...never discussed in detail...would I talk about my bank number details to people online? Hell no! :)
Yes...I do understand that...but I do remember not long ago someone started a thread about the types of stealth that vendors use,actually posting pics of the stealth! Thats surely crazy,no?...I was worried that we were going down a similar path here.....LB is a precious little site to vendors and buyers...can you imagine a world without LB? HELP!!!!
Thanks for that...yes,LB is very precious...I do wish LB could date our posts like TW or FB, as I never know how old or new these topics are!....What?...Elvis is dead?? When did this happen? haha!
Royal Mail never check packages unless super suspect (it stinks of weed, can actually see drugs, shaped like a gun) millions of parcels&letters are processed through the depots & packages are never opened so providing the vendor has sealed them securely then staff won’t even see the stealth or items inside.
I personally prefer packages to be enveloped with slim line cardboard box inside that can easily fit through a letter box Always priority or tracked mail. Some vendors are better than others in terms of stealth & presentations. I personally don’t mind as all my orders have arrived safely & untampered.
I’ll add that special delivery is priority mail (1pm-Saturdays etc) & Tracked mail is pretty much a guarantee to arrive. I can imagine standard mail will sometimes go missing (agency staff during peak seasons or full time staff shortages) I’ll also be cheeky & suggest samples rather than chocolates 😉 take care community😎💨😮💨❤️

Top Vendor For Sale
this seems like a smart and private approach.
Top Vendor For Sale
We represent a top vendor on here with over 1000 sales and a large and loyal following on here. This is a sale due to ill health and serious enquiries are invited from Biggas with at least 50 sales/25 buys. See listing for further details
Is it just the account or does it include a supply line or any other assets or operational support?
tHE SALE INCLUDES the name, the accounts (on LB and DW) AND THE SUPPLY CONTACTS/INTROS, PLUS THE cashing out infrastructure. the numbers (sales/costs/profit) for the year to date are available to serious enquirers. Huge scope for growth
Well what's the vendors name you are selling? Is this allowed on LB. Question time with Polly
Good point really. I think buying an established vendor account of here goes against the trust basis that LB is built on. It only takes one bad one to land up with it.
Think about it there is absolutely no way to stop a seller from selling their account, its probably happened many times before. A legit process can only help.

Couldn't imagine work without it. Of course I can't imagine anything without it. It's been too long.
But what about you biggaz? What kind of work works a bit stoned?
But what about you biggaz? What kind of work works a bit stoned?
Correct. I use CBD in the evenings and they have the same terpene profiles as regular THC weed. In the day I use CBDv and CBG.
Exactly this - a good solid sativa while working/needing to be out and about then once thats all over it's either hybrid (if afternoon) or straight to Indica if it's evening for a tranquil end
I'm an airline pilot and I couldn't ferry hundreds of people between continents unless I am so baked I'm having a whitey in the cockpit
😂 I just cannot work baked due to the massive responsibilities
It’s totally incompatible. Leisure time though is another story although I’m pretty strict self discipline wise
I take a few months break every once In a while to flush out my system and maintain mental health etc
Not everyone is gonna be the same
Works for me anyhoo…

All ropy lines of employment in recent years and I think cannabis use is the least of our worries well apart from dentist unless it’s Glennon Edward Engleman
There's no way in hell I could get baked at work, especially off my own crop. There'd be no way of hiding my red eyes, low levels of activity and insatiable appetite. On second thoughts, I think I've just myself every day.
I could do/have done my job stoned but I don’t see any point as I can’t really enjoy it when I’m working. I also don’t get people who you can smell have just smoked a fatty before getting on the bus at 7 in the morning. Don’t they ever actually wake up for the day?? I couldn’t do that lol.
I smoke at work to make it go faster, only reason and it works more social and can function if I don’t go crazy on a pen.m
Cliche, I know. But sativa day, Indi/hybrid night.
If only they knew it could be used as a catalyst for efficiency and productivity.

I have hardly ever smoked at work, probably 3 or 4 times in 23 years,I guess it depends on what type of person and job you do,I do bricklaying /groundworks/general building,what do others do?
If I'm honest with you I'd prefer not to say. I used to be very cavalier on lb but having seen the digital platforms change so rapidly over the last few years, I value my privacy and anonymity.
What I will say is that I'm self employed. Work 10-12+ days, 7 days, I have a family and my work is a mixture of non manual, hard manual and a lot of administrative tasking.
So, weed helps, a lot. I'm also married with children. We can do a lot in a day, on or off weed.
Guess as you said, depends on the the person and the job they do.
Peace be with you.

I disagree, this isn't Amazon, don't forget why we do this or what the alternatives are when there is no lb or alternative sources. I guess circumstances differ but I had three orders go missing in the space of a few days, I contacted each seller, 2 were amazing and replaced the orders in full with no quibble (big up eddy's edibles and iwakeubake). The other sent a block of hash that didn't cover the full order. I know for a fact these missing orders were not their fault (almost certain the posty nicked them, but we had words, it won't happen again), so for these vendors to replace them was at their own cost and effort, and I appreciate that shit. Maybe if I get obviously fucked over at some point I'll choose another route, but for now I feel talking is still the best way for me
A good trusted vendor will always try to put customers first and in genuine cases of missing post will reship no problem or come to some agreement depending on size of order. Thanks for the big up 👍 Eddy🍭
yes its better than amazon with a lot more respect for every party.
sellers have lots of orders to make the averages work out, buyers do not. sellers also have control and thus responsibility over the process. the postman is working for the seller.
happy buyers make thriving sellers and an awesome marketplace. every smart retailer takes losses its a price of doing business.

what's happening is the trolls/customers will scare all the sellers off abusing the system. its super easy to resolve anything with a vendor if not then dispute function. Talking it always the best way. Not a lot of people can resolve anything. but make it worse All the gd vendors easily fix stuff.
In truth, good comms generally solves everything.
Biggas have a tendency to go on the attack when let down, vendors have a tendency to get defensive or put their heads in the sand and ignore messages. Either way comms break down.
Fortunately most disputes are resolved amicably between parties without resorting to Borgs. However Biggas should prudently use the dispute system that is provided for them and which we all pay for- never be persuaded to delay a dispute beyond the period specified. Protect your coin by disputing correctly and honestly and then cancel the dispute if and when you resolve the issue between you.
It’s what makes LB great! 🤩

Even when you communicate politely, some vendors 'Bury their heads in the sand'. The better vendors actually care about customers, where the bad ones only pretend. It's easy to spot the difference. (Currently disputing an order after communications died like disco).
Totally agree Eddy's - we want everyone to get what they paid for safe and sound. During the postal strikes we had so many issues (back then we sent everything signed for) but then we reached out to all our customers and asked to avoid any nonsense with strikes, missing / stolen / someone dipping into things they shouldn't - we asked for everything over our intro offering (lower cost) that we would charge large letter $7 for everything and give ND Special Delivery (which costs us an extra £1.75 per delivery) but will ensure everything is tracked and guaranteed next day - every one with the exception of one (who didnt want anything to be signed for) said "Guarenteed, there the next day and for a few dollars extra - Absolutely! ":-)
It gives us peace of mind and that way the buyer feels confident it's gonna to get to them!
And totally agree - communication between both parties is a must and keeps everyone in the loop and happy (mostly)
Peace brothers and sisters 😎

what are the effects of masks on a society?
word up
More than 70% of communication is non verbal. Our brains translate thousands of pieces of visual facial info in a second. Block this and our minds display stress signals that can deeply disturb us over time...
im opposite, im autistic, the visual facial cues have to be processed and that takes time, wearing a mask means i can relax and not worry about having a huge grin(really a nervous grimace) when someone tells me their mum has died.
That’s an interesting perspective. I’m guessing masks are here to stay, I just want them to be voluntary...
They are dehumanising, antisocial and have become a comfort blanket for the insecure and the effects on society will be long lasting.
They have been wearing masks in heavy populated countries (China/Japan/Thailand) since MARS Virus a few years ago. And in the bigger picture they got a handle on it rather well. Same with Covid they didn't take a bigger hit as we have. I can't see how wearing masks isn't a wise choice in close proximity to other people
I think it's all about the effectiveness of the masks.
Proper NHS PPE worn by nurses and doctors yes, but a cotton mask pulled out of a pocket every now and again, after touching numerous things in the meantime, then readjusting it with hands every 30 seconds is probably about as much use as an inflatable dart board.
Just my 2p
Cheers BB

Less concern of pathogenic transmissions, of viruses brought back from breaking the earths gravity and a go ahead punching portals in the stratosphere. Also a great opportunity for big global heath services.
"A new study on face masks highlights their inefficacy, lack of safety and ability to cause physiological, psychological and long-term health problems, which may culminate in immune suppression, worsened chronic disease, accelerated aging and premature death"
https://thefederalist.com/2020/10/12/cdc-study-finds-overwhelming-majority-of-people-getting-coronavirus-wore-masks/
The main reason for wearing masks is to stop the spread of transmission. They primarily stop infected people spreading the virus and their preventative use is limited at best. I think it's missing the point saying you can wear a mask but still catch a virus. That's not the main purpose even if it does have some positive effect in reducing your chances of catching a virus.
I’ll throw my hat in and say the primary effect has been mass mental illness:
“I just stare at that little box with my face in it and pick apart my appearance,” she said, noting that her distress is affecting her job performance. “My double chin seems six times larger, my eye bags are too deep of a purple, etc … Even when there’s a heatwave and my apartment is close to 90 degrees, I’ll wear a turtleneck that I can pull up. I pack on thick makeup that makes my skin peel.”
Going out in public with a black surgical mask that covers her chin and sunglasses that cover her eye bags provides Miller with an escape from that sense of scrutiny.
“I 10,000% plan on wearing it for the foreseeable future,” she said. “After a full work day of worrying and not being able to focus on my actual job, it just feels nice to blend in. Simply put, I’m sick of being perceived.”
Personally it’s not for me... I just wear the magic exempt badge ;)

How widely known is LB?
Anyone seen DrewisSharing on YT? The guy is only in his mid-20s and seems to be permanently whacked. The boy needs to pace himself IMO. His room must smell like a Rastafarians Tam. Yet he has 306k subs. He's just put up a two part vid "Is Dispenseroo Real?". He's a total stoner but has never heard of it and can't believe it's real.
Reading the comments below, none of his followers can believe it either. I was tempted to tip them off about here, especially as Dispenseroo is way too expensive. But then I thought hold on, if they all come here there will be less to go around for the rest of us.
Anyway, the real point of this is to flag up how a pretty substantial chunk of UK stoners are totally unaware that LB, or indeed any other online resource, exists.

I'm pretty confident I'm the only person In my small town that knows about LB, I've tried linking some random smokers I've worked with now and again but tbf probably didn't believe me
Fr was a blessing to find this 4 months ago, I’ll continue to give out LB to people I fuck with but I’m just glad I never have to bother with travel and locals anymore.

LB gets mentioned a few times on r/uktrees but the mods turn in to proper bitches and remove any posts mentioning locations or where to buy. I'd hate for LB to get too big to the point it gets the wrong persons attention and gets the silk road treatment. I know zero IRL dealers and depend on this site. PS I can't stand that Drew guy. He seems relatively normal until he randomly does some wierd outburst laugh. And his nails knock me sick.
This. I wasn’t confident enough to use dark web, but if this is taken down I’d have to. LB been up for years tho so I doubt it will go anytime soon
know what you mean about his nails! I'm not a huge fan. but then again I'm old enough to be his grandfather, so not exactly part of the target demographic! agree totally about LB. even though i'm a new boy i can see there's something special here that needs to be protected.
Every toker I know now knows about lb. I've also hooked up a few randoms in my messages after posting on UKtrees. There were loads of people without a plug after London Caviar went awol. I'd like more people to know about lb as I think it would be better for buyers and sellers. But I don't want everyone to know about it.
i got a couple from uktrees too bro, feels good helping someone out when you know yourself the struggles when you didn't know about these sites.
I actually got IP banned from reddit and have no idea why, sucks because that was my favourite app and It's not the same when you can't comment

See, i’m the opposite. A large proportion of my friends are smokers, from casual to habitual, and not one of them has/had heard of LB. Ive introduced 5 who now buy on the site, but not one had heard of it before i showed them around.
i dunno on the one hand i think it's amazing to be in a place where a pro (ok semi pro) youtuber cant keep up with a cool old geezer in a turban.
on the other hand i just wanna tell him to pick something he wants here and ill send the coins to pay if he uses my reference code for an episode.

A few mentions on Reddit might be ok but YouTube is the last place I want to see this site mentioned. If it did start to cave in here it would be messy, even compared to a DNM exit or bust. I'm guessing most people don't use PGP or obsfucation.
I'm glad you did!
I must have been transitioning over to LB at that point from the markets. Paranoia was high.

When the site goes down or is struggling to operate effectively (as it did a few weeks ago), do you bother to inform or educate? If so, where?
When an error on an order page prevents you from proceeding (which many people have reported), do you bother to inform or educate? If so, where?
When a vendor turns scammer (as did CannaPharm recently), do you bother to inform or educate? If so, where?
When a user is trying to understand why their payments are stalled for days with transaxe, and then eventually get forwarded to a scamming vendor, does transaxe not want to inform or educate?

let this be a lesson to any bigga that puts a wedding ring on any particular seller. anyone here can exit, bring you offsite or stall as they play you out. our vigilance must be maintained.
Agree with green tech on this one I had another account and never an issue with him he was here over 2 years more than 6k reviews only 0.2 disputed just hope nothing serious happened to him
I think we need to give him the benefit of the doubt here. Many many happy customers, myself included. I hope he is safe and well and just laying low but it’s not looking good.
He WAS one of the most reliable vendors on here, although I doubt he'll be able to sell on this account again. It's a shame people are left without their orders, and it's also a shame we've lost a top vendor. Hopefully everyone gets their funds back
100% , his SpeakerKnocker is still the best weed I've ever smoked. They were all top notch 👌
His Pink Cookie one a while back was superb and I think I also got a few others, possibly gas mask. Always a stand up vendor with me.
I think you should have a coke smile and shut the fuck up!!! Super Hans will be back real real soon
I had great dealings with him even had fool proof stealth as he called it and it alway landed in Ireland haven't bought off a UK vendor since but i have in mind, shit about your order though
Bit hit and miss whenever I used him, once or twice the weed was spectacular but another time it was full of seeds so I stopped ordering

With the fluctuation and massive depreciation of Bitcoin in the last day or two a lot of the Bitcoin in escrow from transactions took a massive hit. This cuts directly into our profits and I think we should look into the escrow being held in USDT and paid out back in BTC when the timer is up. I know a lot of sellers profits made in the last few weeks have become negligible. We need to do something to mediate this because a lot can happen in 16 days of escrow. There should be an FE option like on the dark web where the buyer can finalise the transaction early if they’ve received their product and are happy with it to then pay out the seller. Definitely worth something looking into because BTC transactions don’t make sense in times like these.
fe is used on the dark web alright, to scam buyers especially newer ones. sellers that insist on it exit scam every fucking time.
there is a world of hedging options available out there you can fix your problem yourself.
there is a world of hedging options available out there you can fix your problem yourself.
FE is only available for high level sellers. Never seen someone do an exit scam on AB personally and I’ve been on the market for a while. Also, why would I short Bitcoin while I’m waiting for it in escrow. I’m putting money in to bet against money I’m waiting for? You say I can fix the problem myself but clearly you’re not a seller and don’t care for them, I’m not going to put in more money to bet against the money I have in escrow it wouldn’t make sense, it would be too complex as the escrow amount changed everyday and I would have to match the escrow amount which can be quite a lot to counteract the changes or I’d have to leverage it which is a quick way of losing money fast a lot of the time. At least convert the funds into a more stable coin like USDT then convert them back and release them. This seems like the best solution since some people are afraid of the FE option which doesn’t make sense btw. If a buyer does get scammed from FE they can notify everyone? Either by a review or post.
Agreed.
The idea that a finalise early option is somehow intrinsically flawed because its all about scamming is utterly ridiculous.
Yes FE scams happened on DW sites, mostly years ago before anyone knew any better. The vendor would insist that the item is paid for in advance, they build a rapport with the buyers then at some stage they inevitably exit scam.
This whole thing is easily avoidable by the site controlling the payments. So, unless a customer has confirmed they have recieved the item, the payment doesn't get released. Simple. Any vendor found asking for customers to lie about if they have recieved the item, would be almost immediately exposed on a forum like this.
When a customer recieves their item, they go to leave their review and if they are happy for the payment to be released, they tick a box, if they're unhappy they are taken to a dispute page.
It's hardly rocket science.
Anyone who doesn't review has their money kept in Escrow for the full amount of time. That's only fair. But at least the vendor would get about 50% or more of their money earlier than 16 days, which is a ridiculous amount of time considering BTC's current volatility.
The idea of exchanging the BTC for a more stable currency or coin when it reaches Transaxe, I would very much welcome.
I can, however, after nearly 3 years on here tell you that none of the above will ever happen.
It's beyond frustrating, and in the end will only result in less choice and value for the members on here, because smaller sellers will simply dissappear, and the bigger guys can set the prices at whatever they like.
Cheers BB

Same old story fella, as soon as anyone pipes up on here asking or suggesting positive changes that benefit the absolute majority, there's somehow always a few of the same people who come out of the woodwork and just gaslight the fuck out of you instead of trying to help us all come to a resolution for the issue! nice "community"
i see it happening a lot on here, it's really suspicious tbh, and the gaslighters get a bunch of upvotes too, i'd love it if votes were removed tbh so people actually have to explain themselves
you are 100% right on this one BB, keep doing you!! even though just like you said, nothing is going to change :(

I sure hope this never changes, I've been burned by f.e. on the darknet, seller said he needs the cash to send it out because i don't have an order history.
Couldn’t agree more BB. 14-16 day escrow is just too long. This is pushing me more and more towards the DW than LB. Surely there can be some form of mediation to make the sellers life easier like the BTC conversion. It wouldn’t be too difficult, just convert and convert back after escrow is over. I wouldn’t care about the 14-16 days if that was the case. But guess you’re right, sad that no one will care to make thing change but surely we can at least request it somewhere?
Yeah I think sellers need skin in the game, especially when there is no deposit or traditional legal recourse here and transaxe covers buyer's losses when things go belly up.
Think of what merchants have to put up for Paypal or credit card processing, these are actually insanely easy terms with much more freedom.
The only issue is the volatility of bitcoin compared to the seller's fiat. They can either play the market up and down or if its livelihood risk hedge it, defi is made for this.

conversion while in escrow sounds like a good idea, transaxe could swap the coins to a token upon their initial receipt.

Idiot guide lol....
Can someone please break this down and explain how I do this. This is all new to me. Money for nothing sounds like it's worth the effort :)
Step 1: click share on any post/topic you see/create on LB
Step 2: copy the generated URL
Step 3: make a post elsewhere
Step 4: add the Web link to your post (as seen above)

Sorry when you say make a post elsewhere do you mean on lb or somewhere external?
thank you but this is not correct in all cases. visitors to lb need guidance and helpful (not promotional) posts can lead to a new bigga with your transaxe code. we see this happen most often with non-english language posts.
I could use that type of guide too! I'm wayyy confused! I don't have a clue
when you say post elsewhere...where? Like here or on other websites?
Do we have to apply/register somewhere and link wallets for payment i'm guessing?, if so where? also slight off topic, how does one post a topic on LB?
Much appreciated :)
Much appreciated :)
On your 1st share you are registered with transaxe, they send you a message to setup your account with them to add your btc address.
I did it by accident. Clicked share (which didn’t work btw 🤷🏻♂️) but got a message (chat) from transaxe. I set up a user name and password then was prompted to enter a payment address (whichever one you use to receive Bitcoin into your wallet, just copy and paste).
That’s as far as I got.
Presumably hitting share (when it does work) and posting the link elsewhere will generate coin every time someone uses that link to make a purchase.
To me though, posting links to LB on regular websites seems pretty risky. Maybe someone could clarify that part?

as far as risk goes there really isnt any with weed in the 2020s. that said you can always link to a topic instead of a seller or an item and that topic can be about anything.

Great news indeed. Even better because my German is pretty decent and I have mates over there!
For sure especially as Holland seems to be clamping down on tourists more, hopefully we'll get to try some high grade wunderbar hash soon.💥
Last time I went was some years ago. Dusseldorf had abundant flower and hash, much of it imported from Holland, but things have changed since then so it would be nice to see some German-grown gear.
One small step for man 😆 they should grow some good weed in Germany they are very organised
Wohoooo! 🥳
A couple of interesting points:
-They want EU approval, and of course that would automatically give approval across the zone. So potentially another Brexit shagging for us as we go backwards towards tighter controls.
- Part of the German proposal is to limit THC strengths. Now that will be interesting- where do they put the limit and does that just make the illegal trade more enticing? 🤔
Fun times ahead👍

Seems to be the case in a few other countries that the black market still thrived after legalisation so it wouldn’t surprise me. If they legalised weed in the UK today I’d probably still be using LB for my purchases.
Yup, I agree. I qualify for a UK prescription but I can’t see any benefit in doing so unless LB and all the others got shut down tomorrow!
Does anyone know roughly when the German government plan to go ahead with legalization?....I know it was part of their manifesto,but the timeline seems unclear...I suppose the illegal invasion of Ukraine by Adolf Putrid has scuppered plans back a bit!
My good friend left the UK years ago to go live in Berlin and he has never looked back, he was homeless when I first met him.
This country is useless and what makes it worse is to take up every day feeLing like a criminal after have lost my companies since Brexit and fucking Covid.
This country just gives me an illnesses!

5 reasons you should consider drops
i could see a city themed vendor doing really well.
5 reasons you should consider drops
just wondering if any of you lot have thought about drops as a delivery option.
1 it's safer for you than the post office
2 it's same day delivery, this is unbeatable by anyone on lb and can compete even with legalisation.
3 customers will pay a nice premium for it
4 it's proven in eastern europe every day where drops are the primary form of delivery for cannabis.
5 escrow is going to treat it the same as postal delivery since its exclusively reputation based anyway.

With the price of petrol you are going to need a good few customers in a tight geographical area! 😵💫
Hydra,the Russian darknet market use drops and that operates over some pretty large parts of Russia.
I'd imagine like most of life it's swings and roundabouts.
Hydra have been using drops for years.So,it obviously works for them,no?
P.S. You might not be so Keen on your "smiley postie" after a few missing packs

Wishful thinking, but say a vendor gets an order from Yorkshire and one from London, is he meant to arrange 100s of miles of driving for a few 8ths? I think not
i think a better use of this would be a treasure hunt promotion all around London and the world for that matter.

Why does God God ?
Controversial topic, but if god was real, what would be one of the defining reasons he does what he does, and what does he gain from it.
Yeah all the time but I’m not on about that, I’m trying to say that god is always seen as the good guy and devil as the bad guy, so why does god choose good over bad, in other words why does god god, why does he not just kill everything in existence or at least take control of them and make them do ridiculous things, like millions or billions of people all doing the same thing at once, why would he do that, what would be the defining reason or moment that caused that outcome
Even in a thread you will quickly run out of rationalizations for a view shaped by a primitive book.
Well Mother Nature’s climate change would suggest that he IS going to kill at least most of what’s in existence, and I’m pretty sure we DO spend most of our time being made to do ridiculous things!
The boundaries between good and evil are much more nuanced. Every action (good or evil) has a reaction (evil or good). Satan is a fallen Angel so both the greatest good and the greatest evil co-exist in the same figure…

Humans have caused this by building to many houses and building projects that have stopped natural water from going into the ground to reach the water table, instead it evaporates and goes elsewhere, causing what we have today, floods in one area with extreme droughts in another, so humans are to blame for such things.
From what I’ve seen with anything plant human or animal, even bacteria, they all seem to do as they please even when guided to do something sensible that would avoid negative outcomes, they do it all in confidence, no one makes them do anything that they don’t agree to first, even subconsciously all those problems where surface level that was just ignored due to ingorance or lack of knowledge.
Good and Evil are clearly separated, I think your confusing them with something that they both have, this saying explains it “nothing comes for free in life, if you got it for free someone has already suffered, if you pay for it then you have suffered” so someone always has to suffer, that suffering doesn’t always have to be good nor does it always have to be bad, I believe it’s a collective decision based on an infinite amount of outcomes with all the other humans plants etc currently in existence, but good and bad are clearly separated, they are no where near the same.
Satan was never an angel. He has no capacity for good, only selfish tendencies that cloud his judgment.

Many Christians believe the Devil was once a beautiful angel named Lucifer who defied God and fell from grace. This assumption that he is a fallen angel is often based the book of Isaiah in the Bible, which says, “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations.”
How do you know it's humans? And not god clicking on us and instructing us to build etc?
And as for the make us do silly things etc, how do you know this isn't several re-rolls down the line and that's already occurred and God has moved out of the remove the ladder from the Sims swimming pool part of their game and is being more restrained this time round

Weird question. Why does he choose good? Look around you. He doesn't. If God is real (he's not) he's powerless or evil. You only need to have human experience to know that it's impossible that he exists without one of these being true. Evil, or powerless
What if he is neither, he just does what’s best for the soul considering that science has proven that soul transgression is a real thing, what if he only does what’s best for the souls evolution, and sometimes that is seen by the souls as being good or evil, for instance a wild animal has to kill in order to feed itself and the ones it is looking after, that would be seen as good to that animal that is eating but evil to the animal that is being eaten, what if when we are here we are the only ones who determine what is good or evil depending on what side we are on. Maybe evil and good are just concepts and don’t truly exist.
I think to answer, or at the least ponder this question, we need to define just exactly what we perceive as a God...
There is a possibility that we are chance personified. We like to believe that God created us and planned us in his image, but what if we're a by-product of a playground or an experiment gone wrong? We like to believe that our universe is special and has life, but the multiverse theory is a possibility too - what if we're just a number?
What if we're actually a hobby in a petri dish, where 'God', the scientist, is just testing waters? What if we're actually a cure for a cancerous universe, and we are the solution to grow and destroy so that the Universe cannot danger anything else? We would no longer be so special if we're just a copy, would we?
I think these theological / philosophical questions, while not necessarily 'solvable', will become much easier to answer once we have a more advanced perception of what we are and where we are (in terms of the universe).
What does God get out of this? Maybe satisfaction of a job well done? Research for a paper he is writing?
And let's not forget God doesn't have to be singular... We do not understand what is outside the boundaries of our Universe... What if there is a never-ending cycle of 'humans' who have broken boundaries in their own universes, and we are their next steps in creation; we advance to universal levels, and pass the borders to become creators of a next universe?
What if God actually has a family, and we are a toy for baby god to play around with? But then would there be something even bigger and more inconceivable (for us) than the God we know? Think of it this way - bacteria to us is so tiny it's almost irrelevant, ants to mountains are almost pointless, just as we may be to God... But what if there is an even bigger fish in the pond of Gods? What if there is a God of a God, and therefore a God of a God of a God?
Maybe God isn't even aware we exist...

Interesting.
Here we have the LHC, the large hadron collider. An atom smasher that is capable of recreating miniature big bangs, probably many per minute.
Who's to say we have not created miniature universes at a phenomenal rate. Universes that are bound by their own physics and outcomes?
Possibly our universe was created in the same way.
There is an episode of the Simpsons where this theory is put into animation and the universe is contained in an atom on homers head.
Doh!

WHY DO HUMANS PROCREATE? WHY DO BEES LIKE DANCING AND COLLECTING POLLEN? THINK ITS JUST PART OF HIS BEING OR ITS SO COMPLEX US MERE MORTALS WON'T UNDERSTAND. I PREFER THE FIRST OPTION THOUGH
If god did exist - let’s say yes for the purpose of this
If god didn’t god they wouldn’t be god
If god didn’t god they wouldn’t be god
'God' hasn't got to the end yet - I'll let you into a secret - our individual consciousness is part of the universal consciousness which has been evolving since the beginning of this iteration of the universe – i.e. the universe is becoming conscious, and we are part of it.
Or to put it another way – we are all part of ‘God or Nature’ and still in the 'becoming' stage, not yet at the ‘being’ stage – that would be the end of history and we would (or whatever intelligence is left if not human) at that stage become part of God – or the totality of existence.

Placed an order for the Rick Simpson oil about 2 weeks ago. Mercedes messaged me telling me the oil was out of stock but asked if I wanted some thc distilate instead. She also told me she was putting the order through as sent because she was planning on sending me an alternative out anyway. Wasn't best pleased with this as nothing had been sent yet. I told her I was happy with the distilate and to send it ASAP. She took a full day to respond and when she did I was asked about my address details even though she would have had them from my original order. I sent these details accross 9 days ago now. She has yet to even open my message. I have messaged several times since then asking what the delay is and if she can please communicate with me. All of these messages remain unread. Mercedes has been online during this time but I seem to have been forgotten about despite the fact she has received my money and told the system that shes sent an order out even though thats not the case. Have I been scammed? What's going on?!
biggas that hit the dispute button don't have to 2nd guess anything. remember you can always dismiss the dispute once you are satisfied.
Ive hit the dispute although ive never had to use it before so a bit unfamiliar with the process
I've had exactly the same situation, ordered oil, offered distillate, nothing turns up. They replied once saying they'd deal with it asap and they haven't read a message since. Thanks for sharing, dispute button pressed.
same boat. order and sent with fast delivery not 24 hour. date 23rd at utc. waited couple days and nothing , i mesaged to chase up. they did respond once saying there was problem wit my item even tho sent and payment recieved which i dont get how there could have been. anyway they said can we refund or reship my order so i said just reship please. 4days onwards from my request still nothing im hoping they just reshipped it but no comunication still. maybe it pop in tusdy giving post strikes but seems this happened to another guy and he got his after 11 days i read on lb today i hope you get sorted friend

This guy is hiring trolls and 🔔ends or making new accounts to troll on other vendors and downvote all their posts to reduce competitors visibility while promoting his page. Is this a common thing on LB for big vendors to do bc what f’in losers 😂😂 #BoycottPistach
don't look for drama it's a losing move and it might be hard to recover from. you have a 10/10 and good visibility the best person to fuck this is up is you, bigga.
Not sure it's just one vendor that does it, it is quite a common trend on here but most people just ignore it! One bad review in the sea multiple good ones sticks out a miles!
I thought this was going to be a problem a couple months ago, that’s why I decided to start reviewing peoples products in detail to make sure people actually have someone to accurately represent them as a seller and the products they are selling, hopefully it doesn’t get out of control and only end up having 3 main sellers on this website, with every one being pushed to the bottom making it almost impossible for them to even be noticed let alone make a sale.
Quality over quantity every time, I just hope lb doesn’t become so saturated that you guys get drowned out making it almost impossible for you to make a sale and end up just choosing to not to do it anymore because of that, I think my review service on my page is the best solution to that because people can just come to it or stumble across it and see what accounts products I’ve reviewed and find new “small” vendors such as your self, it may work or it may not only time will tell.

Vape Cartridge vs Vapourizing dry herb?
Age old question
Which is better and why and what do people mostly prefer here?
Which is better and why and what do people mostly prefer here?
I prefer vaping flower or hash as prefer the stone to most carts (SCL's rosin carts to me are the closest to that Dr Ex's are stronger but more heady than stoney), as for better from the health point of view anything that's not air going into your lungs sucks so there both bad for you in the long run sorry 🤷🏻☁️🐰☁️
After reading and viewing various reviews I bought an Arizer Solo 2. Ive used it a few times now and I just dont seem to get a good hit. I start at 185, then 205 and finish with 220 but it just doesnt seem to hit as hard I thought.
Seriously why is everyone on here buying arizer products, show me who keeps advising you all on this and I will go attack Rabb1t on them.
The arzier solo is famed for taste purity and battery life, it's a slow extraction experience especially if your temp stepping on it, it's definitely not a heavy hitting vape.
My arizer argo I only use on 220c Iet the stem get a nice 1 min or so heat soak and then extract the load in a couple of hits.

Arizer supposed to be quality product from reviews.
I've a Wolkenkraft fx mini good small vape fairly discreet. Any higher than 200 degrees or more might aswell smoke it.
Was thinking about getting an arizer argo look good nd discreet.
I read online vaping gets you higher get all the terpines

Arizer make excellent products and offer really good warranty but they are not hard hitting vapes for a quick punch in the face. It's a slow session vape that will gently waft you there with lovely flavour and really good efficiency.
I have a smono 3 , which is based on the same design as the wolkencraft/potv/fury2 (original) and it once again isn't the hardest hitting of vapes in comparison to others around.
If it works for you then 🙌 awesome and the Argo is a great vape just not sure it's an upgrade as such, possibly a side grade.
Anyhow I love vapes I dont know how many I currently own but it's getting errr yeah hang on let's find a picture
Anyone who wants to talk vapes and vaping preference with feel free anytime

yeah its horses for courses a great new cart is a one to maybe 10 hit wonder. vaping great flower is many times more sustainable and also hits on dimensions of flavour and smell.
For me dry herb gives a gentle creeping high closest to smoking a J. A cart provides a very quick intense hit. I'm finding my preference depends on the mood I'm in. Health wise I'm not entirely happy about the cart option. Have to be careful or it feels like I've been punched in the chest. In that respect dry herb feels much more "natural".
Dry herb for me definitely, the hit is stronger and feels like it’s healthier, chest never feels right after vaping oil.
There is also an issue of stealth and convenience. Carts are indistinguishable from other nicotine devices so you can use them anywhere and instantly whereas herb takes a little more caution and bother. I take carts to most overseas holiday destinations but I wouldn’t risk herb.
I find carts generally a lighter and more sociable high, so again good for being out and about. I haven’t found a cart that can compete with a herb session on the Mighty but I don’t need to because I just select what I want for the ‘occasion’….👍

Carts hitting like a train, the Punch in my chest after 3sec Puff is like knock out, definitely way to travel with out risks.
Pax 2 in here last 4 years definitely before the switch you have to have a tea break, other than that...defo healthier you not whizzing in the night And there is no flegma frog in your throat in the morning, the session is bit longer but More enjoy, poorest, as should be the taste is making up for that, and microdosing in this case have sense you could see the deference on your stash consumption straightway.

Is Vaping safe
the test borg seems lonely
Is Vaping safe
What's everyones views on vaping THC products, is it safe. I'm reading a lot about deaths in the USA in the last year due to vaping products especially if vitamin E acetate is used
all i know is i get a nastier cough from vaping carts than from vaping weed and the body is a pretty good tester.
I can’t deny that cheap untested carts worry me. It’s so easy to put nasty shit in there, it’s a big leap of faith. I know to a large extent ALL drugs are a big leap of faith so I’m not whining, it’s our own choices.
I was buying my carts from SCL simply because I trusted them that they were simply rosin. Now they have gone I’m paying a whole lot more for branded and tested carts from vendors with the very best reputation- but it sure is costly 😵💫

Interesting topic of debate, will be very interesting to hear the thoughts of the LB community.
I started vaping about 8 months ago and started to get paranoid about if its as safe as they say.

Isn't a large part of what's on sale here taken on trust though? For fuck's sake it's not regulated after all. Bud should be a fairly safe bet, but pretty much anything else we don't know what goes in - carts, edibles, even hash. We don't even know if the bud has been sprayed with anything. Maybe I'm lucky, I'm old. I'm going to die of something else before any dodgy substance can take effect on me.
Good question indeed. If you find out let me know man.
If your worried about vaping THC don’t read the fucking daily mail lol 😂
Is fucking anything good for us these days 🙄.
Next we will have weed vegans (general point not directed at the topic) as said I would love to know.
It was carts that got me using LB in the first place. I used carts a lot earlier this year and still do.
I think that the comments seem to cover most points.
I have had carts that have been spot on and reasonably priced and really enjoyed them.
I also had carts that make me cough like fuck ! That were a lot more expensive.
At the end of the day it’s an unregulated market and basic economics apply.
Now this might come across as a sweeping statement but the same can be said in any retail business 🧑💼 never mind an illicit drug platform.
Profit margins is the driving force!
Costs low profits high.
I want to believe it’s safe or safer option than tobacco. Which is why I started using carts but still not stopped the tobacco but have cut down, dramatically.
This has been said and I’m sure it was Kiltman had a topic on funny scoring stories. Same applies on here. Unless you have a home testing kit then it’s your own judgment.
Like Pollypuff20 I started using SCL carts because it was rosin now SCL carts were $30-40 but Saynotodrugs carts are $60 plus. Now the Saynotodrugs are branded and the real deal. Now that’s not to say SCL carts weren’t as I used them quite a bit.
But how do they keep the coats down ?
How does weatherspoons keep there prices so low ????
That’s just my stoned ass long winded way of saying it’s your best judgment on the info you have at hand.
Just remember (don’t want to open a can of worms here) but fuck it.

3 reply below to the FOR comment with your case
TO START DEBATE AGAINST
post a new comment on the parent post (the same level as FOR) and write only AGAINST
TO ADD TO DEBATE
comment on either the FOR thread or the AGAINST thread

If initiatives are to guide our development work instead of borgs we need a rational process like the one attempted here.
No one can ever know what the majority of biggas want without a polling system that gets a good sample. Vocal vested interests are a worthy source of ideas and should be weighed against each other (and other priorities that aren't so apparent).
As an example of priorities consider the 2 initiatives recently posted: inventory controls and sterling based pricing. In a headline they sound rational and obvious but with some unemotional discussion it's pretty easy to see they don't have much impact.
Our inventory counter could be marvelous (it's what we shoot for when we actually get to something) but it will not interface with sales on other platforms thus still requires most sellers to manually maintain and update by order. It's also common for sellers to combine and manage sizes dynamically. Yes it sounds like basic functionality -embarrassingly so ;) - but the reality is it will only benefit a very small number of people.
The currency issue is actually on our immediate horizon but the issue isn't changing to sterling. It makes obvious sense to peg things to the most stable fiat currency and then display as many others as is practical but whatever we do sellers will need to constantly adjust prices relative to inflation and deflation and as sterling drops there is simply no way around this requirement.
So neither of these are going to make life much better but to write them now we would need to drop projects on our infrastructure. And while these projects are not very visible other wide-impact projects currently prioritized are:
Tags are long overdue on lb and we have an open source project that is making good progress you can watch. More features from open projects are still coming this year and will effect every bigga.
Anyway, we salute the initiative borg for their efforts and the advocates getting initiatives off the ground.

Sorry but a stock counter doesn't have much impact is all we've heard from this post and its so frustrating it has a massive impact as multiple users have stated in the post below, you say it doesn't interface with the sales but every other marketplace we've used has this feature! This site has been great in many other ways we find it laughable that this is your response to a serious problem, the only people it benefits are the admins as it never restricts sales so as long as the order is fulfilled with a substitute you guys get your cut, how can other places implement a stock counter as a basic feature but it to complex to work on this site, is that what we're meant to believe because we've seen simple methods that can easily avoid the above issues you've stated, so we see no reason not to add this feature but from your response you seem to think tags are the priority!
The fact that you use other marketplaces is their point. Sell a unit there and how will the inventory counter know here? It still comes down to you updating constantly.
No we understand their issue but the fact they think it won't make life better is laughable when theres a thread below with nothing but reasons arguing for it, obviously there is a way for it to pick up on a sale for both sites as Transaxe is fully capable of a similar process so its not really a valid reason for us but no sense arguing about it they obviously cant be bothered to even entertain the idea.
I've never seen anyone asking for advanced cross-platform functionality. Being able to pause sales automatically when the inventory sells through avoids the unprofessional friction of cancelling buyers purchases.
appreciate a dev post, but why do you think a stock updater will benefit few people?
sounds like it would benefit All sellers?
Ive been done by subs a few times, and that's just me? 🤔
even if it needs some manual input from sellers, I'm not sure why if they bang in a hidden total and then just subtract the weight or stock number automatically when purchased once confirmed paid?
P. s. a polling system would also be a juicy update 😉

These are only our opinions, these and others will be heard in a rational initiative like the one outlined here. It can also refine what exactly we are trying to build and how that fits into what else we all need.
To add to this... I like the idea of an end of year awards thing just for a bit of fun. Top 3 vendors, top bargains, best flower/hash/cart/other etc.
If you changed the currency to sterling being that 95% or more of this sites traffic and customer base is from the UK, sellers wouldn't need to constantly change the price of listed items (not that they do anyway) and it would remove the need to do so
for instance , £30 is always going to be £30, inflation isn't affecting us in this sense, the only reason inflation and deflation affects us is because the prices are set in dollars... if you can't see how this benefits all of us can you please explain then why the sites currency is set to dollars? how are dollars benefitting anyone??
it's absolutely astonishing to me that this, and the stock counter is somehow not beneficial to many of us? it's one of the best and most important changes to ever happen to this site
I appreciate the reply and that you gave us some insights, and while things like 'tags' are a welcome change, they aren't saving anybody any money, and money is absolutely everybodys number 1 priority by a margin so big i can't think of an appropriate word to describe it, nothing can make our life better than saving us money!

Fully agree with everything here. Any opinions against changing to £ not being a priority are completely deluded. I'll be honest in saying I sometimes use a different site on the darkweb for orders, which is based in £s. I don't want my purchases to be a gamble. As a customer I want 35 quid to be 35 quid. Vendors won't have to continually keep altering prices. The one reason I shop here more is the community, reviews, variety and generally chilled discussions. However in testing times I want £30 to be £30 and not creeping up daily as I can buy quality weed at a stable price elsewhere.
Mate thanks for seeing sense! it's so crazy that people are still trying to gaslight me over this and try to pick holes in it.... absolutely unbelievable, and those people are getting upvoted as well, seriously it's not even delusion at that point it's just straight up stupidity
the amount of money that every single one of us has lost collectively since i started this subject a couple weeks ago will be in the 10's of thousands already, i'm so fucking tired of pouring my energy into this only to be gaslit and ignored, still waiting on a reply from the borg again too, bloody hopeless this is

huh? sellers will have to change prices *way more often* if they are set in an inflating currency like sterling. if you don't get this just go to the grocery store.
for the same reason that waitrose needs to change its prices, inflation. it takes more pounds to buy anything, there is no getting around this ;(
that's not how cannabis works though, it's not affected by inflation in the same way that groceries are, infact, cannabis has actually decreased in price during this massive inflation hike > ref the link
in 20 years of buying weed, i've never been told "sorry mate that's going to cost you an extra tenner today, cuz of inflation"
£10 a gram is pretty standard pricing and it has been for over a decade, of course people sell grams at different prices, but this isn't because of inflation
sterling and dollars are equal in terms of stability, inflation is only affecting us because the sites currency is set to dollars, I cannot explain this any clearer.

This is ridiculous you know what the people want and don't want its clear for all to see, most people don't bother weighing in on these posts as they don't believe anything will change just stop messing about and make the changes!!!
from my p.o.v. i think its absurd to stop infrastructure or tags for everyone to have this but just bring it to a proper vote and we can find out.

Hey fellow biggies
Wondering if any vendors have experience sending to Prague?
My cousin who is being treated for braincancer in Prague, is running out of the RSO oil i gave him and looking to find the best way to get some to him.
Any suggestions with shipping to CZ are really appreciated.
Thank you

Hey biggas hope you're all having a nice high weekend, i'm not, thanks to royal mail strikes!
anyway just wanted to bring this up for probably the 10th time this year, we NEED the site to switch from the use of dollars to the obviously more sensible option of british pounds, the conversion rate right now is so fucked and it's costing vendors lots of money and costing buyers shitloads of money having to deal with this!
EVERY SINGLE DOLLAR NOW COSTS YOU 10P MORE THAN IT DID MERELY A FEW WEEKS AGO, LET THAT SINK IN FOR A MOMENT!
it's making every single order a decent amount more expensive and it's all adding up very fucking quickly, not to mention the price of everything everywhere going up, and all this for what? surely it's literally the click of a button to change the sites currency from stupid $ to £... what are we waiting for seriously? and why does it constantly have to be bought up for nothing to ever be done about it? it's leaving a really shit taste in my mouth after every order knowing i'm being bent over by extra costs out of our control that could be solved at the click of a button for an LB admin months and months ago... what is going on....

If things keep going at this rate it will be $1:£1 before the end of the year, which seems absolutely insane but it's probably going to get even worse than that...
Anyway please borgs make the change, you know it makes sense <3

honestly within the context of this site and without trying to gaslight any biggas, this is probably one of, if not the most important subject / topic of discussion we could possibly be having right now, please do not let this slide this time biggas
we need as much attention and votes drawn to this as possible, this affects every single one of the sites users with every single order, this needs to sorted with the utmost of urgency, the damage has already been done for months now and it only gets worse with every single order

Sadly I don't think a lot on here realise how much both vendors and customers are being shafted by the conversion.
I think we need *every* currency here and as a European changing to £ would suck worse. at least the $ is a standard for the world if you are only going to have 1.
we don't need every, and we dont need another brexit axis either. we just need major currencies and btc and let the users choose.
Good point well made, I think with the general instability of the world economy LB need to ensure the site remains economically viable, peeps are skint or more skint than usual and it is going to get worse. Thank you Hesh for taking the time to Spearhead this, it’s is indeed of benefit to all users, get behind this biggas before the algos sink the subject again
Thanks for helping keep this topic visible Emz, and also adding your take on it which i couldn't agree with more! things are getting worse VERY quickly and we can't just sit around doing nothing
i'm going to bump this topic every single day till we hear from a borg / admin, the algo's trying to sink it as fast as possible it seems

Thanks, hesh. This needs to be addressed NOW. Glad I'm not alone in feeling arse-reamed by a failure of LB to act ethically. This STINKS: sort it out or I for one will look for alternatives as anal isn't my thing.
Man every single order is over 10% more expensive than it was a couple weeks ago, it's so bad i was not happy making an order earlier knowing i'm overpaying for no reason
it's not just the 10% either it's having to buy even more BTC to cover the extra cost meaning more fees for buying the BTC etc etc...
it's not just the 10% either it's having to buy even more BTC to cover the extra cost meaning more fees for buying the BTC etc etc...
Thanks hesh - very important topic especially with rising cost of living adding pressure in general.
Is anyone able to explain to me why vendors are losing money by having the site set in $? I totally understand how it costs more for buyers, but surely vendors are making more ££ profit if they don't adjust $$ prices downwards periodically? Is it to do with vendor fees being in $ too?

Thanks for bringing further attention to this topic, I appreciate it!
my understanding was, in the case of vendors, the overall price of orders is unnecessarily higher than it needs to be (because of the exchange rate) which will lead to a loss in sales during a time where sales are likely to be down already due to the current economy, just another lose lose situation
just a quick tidbit, but transaxe, LB's payment processor, works in BTC not £ or $, and the fees are a fixed percentage, so i cannot see a reason for this change not to be implemented ASAP

Fully agree can't see LB acting though they will just sit back and watch the impending doom.
Also take into account by the years end markets are going to crash, housing, stocks & crypto's which would take the BTC price to around 10k so vendors also have that to look forward to.
Not only did vendors get hit bad at the start of the year and most are still recovering from that tidal wave we now have a perfect storm brewing and what do we do?? We keep on lowering our prices!!
This is a huge car crash just waiting to happen!!
The only way is to either put your prices up to give yourself a buffer which would mean losing biz or all vendors go on strike till it's sorted which won't happen either.
Otherwise, vendors will be crying in their coco pops after the crash realizing they have been wiped out!

I managed to get stocked up well with one of RealD's promos at the end of June, so I've been pretty well insulated from the exchange rate shenanigans the last couple of months. Now it's time to start looking for a top up and I'm feeling it...
I can't say that it's going to stop me from buying from any vendor on here, mostly due to convenience (its a fecking nightmare finding a dealer irl when your body is fucked and you don't particularly like dealing with people in person), but if the actual dollar prices on here start to rise alongside the exchange rate tanking and all the fees that come with using bitcoin, on my budget, it would definitely force a rethink.
So yeah, I agree with the suggested change and will follow/bump your thread, in hope more than expectation.

dollars is just a denomination, anyway you slice it the sellers will need to explicitly lower their prices if buyers are going to realise any gain here.
it's not just a denomination, prices on here are incredibly rarely / not at all adjusted to the constantly changing exchange rate of dollars to pounds, leading to inherent and frankly unnecessary instability for everyone along with the added instability of bitcoin, it's a lose lose situation, since the vast majority of the buyers on here will have £'s in their bank account, not $'s
a $60 order a month ago was considerably cheaper than a $60 order today for example, and prices haven't changed to account for the devaluing £
there's no need for any of this to happen, which is unanimous at this point, absolutely everyone will gain from this with immediate effect

but of course we can't ever seem to actually correspond with the 'admin' so to speak, for obvious security reasons but it's incredibly frustrating!
there's been a LOT of good vendors who have abandoned this place recently due to the total lack of communcation between the vendors and the people who run the site and the glaring issues that still plague the site
there's tens of thousands of £ going through this site on a weekly basis yet it's somehow next to impossible to get even simple changes implemented
I need to make an order right now but it's going to be £15 more expensive than it was a month ago, because we are STILL USING THE WRONG FUCKING CURRENCY
i cannot understand how this issue isn't at the forefront of everyone's mind in the context of this site, this should literally be pinned to the top of the topic wall with hundreds of votes and replies till it's corrected!

Sounds like they need to get on top of it before somebody else dives in and a creates a modern lb type platform with all of the good features and things we wish for here. I can't be too critical of lb though. They are my only platform for buying my medicine. I don't know any real life dealers as I was late to the weed game and none of my friends partake. We all want everything cheaper in life and ultimately somebody usually loses out but this currency change we are after is a win for all three parties involved, vendors, customers and lb devs.
Is that the official Littlebiggy response? Get the vendors to pay the extra on top of the 15% ?
yes a borg pointed out that every seller needs to change their prices for any effect so why not do this now?
Who else thinks the admin have malicious intent with no changing over to £, I mean obviously there must be a reason why when it makes obvious sense for everyone
Apologies if I’m being totally dumb here, does happen a lot, but I don’t understand how the dollar - sterling exchange rate is affecting anything.
My understanding is the dollar price next to items is a guide price only, the real price is the bitcoins and it doesn’t matter if your in the UK or the US the bitcoin price is the cost regardless of what currency you are buying bitcoins in.
Are you buying dollars with sterling then buying bitcoin? Or selling coins for dollars and converting to sterling?
Apologies if I’m missing something obvious here.

Let's use a simplified example..
Vendor uploads new item and wants to sell it for £10.
The exchange rate is £1 = $0.50.
Vendor sets a price of $20.
Pound weakens and now £1 = $1.
This means the vendor has to change the price or the buyer has to pay more for the same thing.
As vendors usually sell more than 1 item and the value of the £ is changing so rapidly, it either costs the vendors lots of time to keep the prices accurate or lots of money in lost sales because people don't buy due to increase in price.
Hope this helps explain things :)

It does somewhat mate thanks
I do keep an eye on the btc prices of items and I see them change quite often as much as 10 times an hour, as the price of btc moves.
Do those vendors have to manually adjust their prices or is there a sql script do it?
Seems sensible to have a scriot that’ll adjust the retail price as coin value moves

From one perspective - if we are all made in some grand 'Destiny' or plan, then our actions do have weight attached to them.
If however we are all born as a miraculous chance, do our actions really mean much? Does the homeless man really change the universe / future on the same scale as Jeff Bezos, or Isaac Newton had?
Do you think your actions are changing the world?

With six degrees of separation and the butterfly effect at play we must influence others even at a subconsious level. So yeah we all do our bit here on earth and the bricks of humanity can only be laid on what came before and Inspiration can come from anywhere even a tramp.

Good topic! 🤩
On a cosmic scale we are truly insignificant collections of atoms and nothing makes any difference. Untold numbers amongst the trillions of stars are exploding and dying as I type and galaxies disappear into black holes in a continuous stream of entropy that makes all life on earth and our little planet nothing but a pointless blink in spacetime.
To bestow on ourselves a Grand Plan of significance in which we all play a part is an extraordinary display of hubris…😉

thinking from an opposite perspective - if there is some grand plan, then we are helpless and replaceable (there's gotta be a backup plan) to change the world.
but with chance, we have just that, the opportunity to change things. everyone does, it's just a matter of scale.

Coin base is terrible.
I wish there were crypto traders on this site.
I've not had an issue with it since finding this site. I send money to coinbase via my Halifax account, buy coins, send the coins. I'm aware some banks are clamping down though.
Clamped down on me. My Coinbase account has been closed, I had a good chunk saved from the learning you can do there. Gutted.
This. No issues for me either. Could do without the hefty fees but I don't know of any straightforward alternatives.
For some reason when I first got it I had a 200 monthly spend limit and took me like a month and a half for them to sort it out.. no complains now though, I think it's easy to use once I sorted it out.

Hangover Cures?!
I'm curtently feeling like I'm nearing the end lol. I have the hangover of all hangovers and need to try and pull myself round sharpish. So hit me with your hangover must haves! I'm far to old for this!
Avoid sobriety, even if it hurts.
You need a fine 100% agave tequila sipped gently. I would suggest Fortaleza Still Strength Blanco. After a little while everything will be fine….👍

Knew I would find you in the alcohol thread 😂 that's a pretty cheap recommendation for you isn't it? You trying lure them gently to the tequila market??? 🧐🦊
Hehe….mighty fine starting point right there…nothing better than tequila drawn straight from the still as nature intended🥰😋🤤…hangovers just crumble away👍
1st on the list has to be a greasy fry up. Failing that hair of the dog ( start drinking again) 😂😂
Lol I couldn't stomach anything at the minute and I've tried hair of the dog and it's gave me hangziety. Why do I do this to myself haha.
Freezing cold Irn Bru used to do the trick for me before i learned just not to get drunk lol
Well as UkStoner666 said,the fry up always works for me too!...maybe once all that bacon,sausage,beans & fried bread hits the stomach lining it absorbs all the booze!...Just cant beat a greasy fry up!...Cholesterol rules OK!
I'm afraid its not good news ULC, unless you have a saline drip or kit for a blood transfusion then nothing truly works, in my experience.
Bets of luck with the soul-searching hangover, I feel your pain!
Actually, ignore the above if you have valium...

Posting from UK to Turkey
I'm going away in July and wanted to get some treats over. I was going to post them myself. Has anyone ever done this? Was it succesful? What did you put on the forms? I was looking to take some edibles and put them in a bag or haribo
i would not send anything to Turkey by post, they are very curious out there and will bust you because they are curious to see what is being sent. the police displays a gram of bust like they found a ton of gear in media. they are very anti drugs there.
i would pack edibles in Haribo bags and take it with me if i were you.
i would pack edibles in Haribo bags and take it with me if i were you.
I was thinking the same for when I go away there are vendors which post abroad sn2d posts from America can get there in 3 days
I wouldn't post to Turkey. There is weed in Turkey and if you're in a city like Istanbul you can probably score,but be careful.Best to weigh it up when you're actually there though.
Good luck.
Good luck.

Is it not more fun to try and find local stuff;)
Turkey
Smoking tolerance level [1= very illegal 5=virtually legal]: 2.8
Legislation: It is forbidden to cultivate and consume mary jane in istanbul. However 30 percent of the city is introduced with it. 15-20 percent of the city population smoke marijuana continously..
Law Enforcement: If you’re a foreigner no one will hassle you, still, do not smoke in public areas. Police are likely to bribe – no more than 50 us dollars.
Where to buy marijuana in Istanbul:
You can find lots of smokers around Caddebostan park in summer. If you ask them they will give you some or tell you how you can find. Also in Tarlabasi (near Taksim) it is easy to find smoker-seller. But in Tarlabasi, be careful not to be cheated.
From zeytinburnu and hacihusrev. it is better to find a smoking friend first in order to help you. This way, you wouldn’t be cheated neither with quality, nor price..
another reporter added: “In Taksim and Beyoglu area, ask around in bars but do not fool around too much in the backstreets.
Tarlabasi area is a place to get weed but going there is discouraged, it is not the safest place for a foreigner.”
Istanbul marijuana Prices: 25 grams for 80 us dollars. If it’s more, that means they try to cheat you as you’re a foreigner. Just be sure that quality is good by testing it (that is ok, they would allow you to try).
Istanbul marijuana Brands: Ot, ciragalık, esrar = buds Kubar, toz esrar = hash
More information: Don’t leave istanbul without smoking mary jane. this is not optional….
Try smoking weed in an authentic Nargile or water pipe if you can.

Detecting PGRs in the finished product can be tricky, with there being a range available to buy and are produced naturally by the plants. This is definitely one of our main aims in detecting contaminants as well as pesticides, which are detrimental to human health.
There can also be chemicals that are by-products of other chemicals which can cause harm.
We do as ULC says and check for any obvious signs of contaminants or any unidentified chemicals present in the sample before suggesting further testing.
Thank you ULC to kind!!

Finally found 'MY' strain
My strain as in ..
Sitting with a cannabis councillor every week for 3 months nailing down that specific 'APEX' / 'ZENITH' strain that will suit you the finest above all others.
Or maybe trolling the sites online going through them all one by one a hundred of them just nailing them all till you get that 'ONE'.
For me it's 'MAC1',
How about you?
*shoutout to SCL for nailing it.

If you love MAC, look out for the imminent arrival of MAC-Muffin by Druids Magic (MAC x Starfighter x Blueberry Kush). ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🤤
I think ‘MY’ strain is love potion. I’ve only ever had it once in Utrecht but it was the happiest, most content strain I’ve ever had and would love to try it again. I can’t comment on how suited it was to me but I had a good time and certainly remembered it!
Lol i remember when white rhino was called "green" and it was about all anyone could get. White shark would make an appearance every now and again but ohh that rhino hahah. Oldskool
Mine was "Misty" back in the day. Now i think it's probably G13 or Forbidden Fruit. Delicious!
Mac Cookies was a good strain 👌

Local govs generally work better because they are limited to in your face realities.
Big govs have to earn our attention with wars or actively get in our business to be relevant.

local newspapers are invariably run by larger media outfits- certainly in this country you will find them pushing the same pro-business and anti- people agenda, while pushing for harder punishment for poor criminals by hyper vilification, and a justification for the crimes of the rich, and a nice side order of celebrity worship- they imply locality but are run by the same wankers that get their dirty hands onto everything. I think local newspapers are probably reflective of how corporatised and then depleted many local town are in the North of England- since Thatcher a few folk were sble to buy their social housing and the rest of the working class were screwed over- it’s been a downward spiral since then, and the local newspapers have become a casualty along the way.

I use a VPN, but additionally do people here log out of google & other sites when buying or does it matter?
Also I’ve heard that people are using more secure browsers - what would be the best one to go for? I’ve heard that Firefox is secure..

The fact that LB is on Google (rather than lurking on the DW) and has been for many years suggests that for buyers this is a very low risk environment. There is no Cyber Squad (Personal Use By Post Division) monitoring the odd Henry you buy on here and preparing to swoop 😵💫
Some people still prefer VPN’s & instant history deletion (Firefox Focus does that) which is fine- personally I give it the same level of concern as the Plod do, i.e. nada 👍😏

Nah no need to bother with that or a VPN unless you are using a public network,i use Edge and i am logged in but you really only need a browser that your btc wallet works on so you can have LB and it open paged for buying.
