any biggaz headed to hyde park on 420?
no one should tie their commercial identity to an irl event and identity. at least i can't think of a safe way. it would be a great thing no doubt. if you are going to do it keep it vague with who you are, a common shared handshake or something that says bigga but not which one.
Im planning on going mate! Shall look out for your hat! I hope to be wearing my "420 clock" tee shirt(weather permitting) and having a crafty vape of some decent sativa or other :)

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.
Big govs have to earn our attention with wars or actively get in our business to be relevant.
local newspapers are dying because they only have realities to deal with, big media can weave grand fictions for years.
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'll tell you something tho, the afterglow of a shroom dose is better than a dimitri afterglow.
More than an hour now i'm basking in this (been microdosing dimitri too so that's in the mix but not had any today, will probably hit that soon, up at 5 tho, with the birds.

BB!!! 💥💥💥💥👾👾👾
I am SO sorry it has taken me SO long to respond to this total wonderfulness. Even coming on here gives me bad social anxiety if my head's not right. But, oh my goodness! The way I learned of this was SO excellent. I was tripping at the time, and on the phone to a bigga buddy, totally loved up with my LB buddies, and the conversation went..
Me - how's everyone on LB?
Him - firitffiitdturzu
Me - ohhh!! Tell - so and so I love them!! SOOOO much!!!
Him- OK
Me - do it now PLEASE
Him - OK
Me - asks him to do the same for a few more biggas
Him- mutters something about BB and DMT
Me- oooohhhh! Tell BB I love him!!!
Him- well he's sent some love your way too ( tells me about you posting this tune but doesn't remember what the actual tune was)
Me - oh my god! ( mega excited). You have to remember! Find it and take a screenshot and send it.
Him - it was an Elton John tune
Me - oh :/ .. ( not much of a fan)
Me - BUT - I ABSOLUTELY LOOOOVE , I guess that's why they call it the blues. F'in LOVE it.
A few hours later, back on the phone
Me- you haven't sent me the screen shot!
Him- OK I'll do it now, just finding it........ aaand I'm just about to blow your mind..when you see which song it is..
Me - it's not!!!?
Him - yup
Me -( loses it )
And I went off and played it like, sixty bajillion times, and it was F'IN AMAZING!, and had one of the best music tripping experiences ever. Thank you so much 🩷
And re the boxing day thing - doing that afforded me the very best feeling I had over the whole of that shitty Christmas. I felt like I should be thanking you! Made me so happy.
Keep keeping it real BB, you are just so unapologetically you. Always. Totally authentic, and I think you're the bollocks ( even though I am still quite scared of you, haha)

After 5 extractions through almost as many months i reached enlightenment sp[iritually.
After 5 i also remembered what i i done different in my 1st spirit molecule extraction that gave me an amazing yield like no other.
Looking forwards to my nxt one now.
It knocks you out but doesn't get you high,
opened eyed the spirit world and material co-exist, closed eyed you're in the spirit world, breathing as a human, experiencing life as a soul. in the soul kingdom, the afterlife, the underworld.
being shown living 4 dimensional magic objects of impossible geometry.
It's quite the trip.
I love hearing your posts, take care my good friend.

There are easier ways to create a complex password than we have been "taught"
Even the chap who created the rules on modern passwords is sorry

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..

If we don't need authority for trust what do we need it for?
code.
I think there's a problem with the word authority. Some authorities are voluntarily recognised by people as experts so their opinions are amplified. Seems like a really good thing.
The other kind is an authority imposing power upon you through a monopoly, usually a monopoly on violence.

So in fact there IS or NO authority exists outside ourselves.... Cuz we give Value!!!
So authority is actually you .... You decide whether to follow it or not --- You are Authority who is looking for Authority and asking why we need authority
It only exists if you want it to (Collectively)

Is it just me?
divorce is almost tougher than death and way more stressful.
many elements of it are driven by other people’s emotions and are out of your control.
…
Is it just me?
So I don't know where to start, but I feel I'm stuck Ina rut. I feel uninspired, like I'm in the depths of darkness and my torch just ran out of batteries. Long story short I was going through court for access to my children, 3 years and nearly 5k later and I'm back to square one. Feel to just give up, it's been a hard fight especially when the opposing party doesn't even turn up to oppose. Someone help me please, I've been drowning for so long
Have a look at some spiritual teachers on you tube such as Eckart Tolle, Ram Dass, Mooji Baba. Read Eckart Tolles ‘The Power of Now’ All were life changing for me after a traumatic incident in my life. It won’t fix things immediately but it allows you to look at things from a different perspective and find some peace. I hope you can find your own peace and wellbeing. 🙏

Stop throwing money into it. Be more selfish and focus purely on yourself If the mother is literally withholding your children from you. It sounds like you love them so they will want to see you one day, especially when their mother has no say in what they do.
What ever happens buddy, don't get to braking point. Don't do anything stupid just keep pushing on till you find something that makes you feel a bit better about stuff. Whatever is happening now is only temporary and your kids will make their own decisions as they grow up. I'm sure your kids will just be happy that your alive and hopefully healthy. No idea of your schedule but find a distraction like going gym if you don't already or something physical to burn energy and release endorphins.
I can only offer advice not that i have any idea of how I'd handle your situation, but i know i'd need a distraction. I hope you see your kids soon 🙏

<3
I'm a deterministic guy. For me, although we may think we have free will, the truth is that our brain will always react the same way to a specific set of instructions and/or sensorial input. Our brain receives information, analyses it and sends an output. That output will always be the same, for the same input. There are those who believe that, due to the quantic nature of the universe, there is a statistical probability for a change in the brain output, but I don't think that it applies to such a complex organ
Nice topic! :)

what's left libertarianism?
is that from abundance or indifference?v
if anyone can parse this bs on wikipedia id love to see it
B.s confirmed. The libertarian/authoritarian is a different axis from the left/right paradigm. The left/right axis doesn't really matter anymore. Classic liberalism much more akin to Conservative values.
The more relevant terms when talking of the laissez-faire ideas are whether you are a consequentialist, or deontological libertarian I.e: do consequences matter or is it the rules that matter?

The government determine the rules, generally speaking don't they?
The consequentialist libertarian generally would say that they are not against force (by government)per se, but they believe in strong private property rights because it generally makes people happy and prosperous when they have them.

it makes sense: private property for what we create, public property for what's already sitting on the planet.
I find today’s liberal left to be very authoritarian in nature. They use all the kind fluffy buzz words but ram it down your throat with a hot poker.

Although I've seen this all before. An old vendor Super Hans tried extremely hard to get Litecoin/Monero etc introduced a couple of years ago. Had the backing of all the vendors and biggas alike and it never happened.
It does seem like jackwright might be making some headway, but many of us that have been on here a while won't be holding our breath.
Good luck though buddy. It's probably the single most important improvement to the site, and is long overdue, so I really do hope this time it works out.

Yeah I’ve got that the overall response is For but it’s literally not even worth it given as someone already pointed out initiative Borg ain’t been active in a while.
Yeah I think our only hope is someone picking up the project, I’ve had a quick look at what it entails and although am literally studying that issue at the minute I think it’s probably best someone with experience take on something like that.
Hopefully though someone sees the opportunity and takes it!

Chances are they’ll probably need to rewrite Transaxe. If it’s hardcoded to support Bitcoin it’s not going to be a small job to change the payment method.

Literally all they can do since their, most-likely at this point, ex-devs have clearly abandoned them to 3 year old processes. Which nobody quite knows how to work on or fix.
One day Biggy will just fail. Mostly because of it’s clearly hideous technical debt.

Totally get that, I was gutted when I had to ask my old dealer when I seen the price of the bitcoin fees but I can’t justify paying upwards of €15 just for a fee.
It’s not as if it’s happened before the only difference now is people are going to find alternative sites which sucks as LB has been awesome.

Yes think alot of us are in the same situation. Looks like I'll be digging some old number up to ring then till this is sorted. Feel for the vendors on this site.
I for one love this site but it’s becoming harder and harder to utilise the brilliant products on here and community due to bitcoins instability and proven track history of being unreliable on this site.
It is also getting to the stage where it’s becoming too expensive for vendors and profits are being eaten up by transactions fees alone.
Instead of little biggy being that website everyone remembers as being “imagine how good that could have been” and continue to expand the community by allowing better accessibility for payments.

Surprised no one has suggested BCH instead yet. Seems like the likely one to move to if fees are the issue.

FOR, how long do we have to put up with paying ridiculous fees while there's alternatives. Obviously couldn't care less. How many times has this been talked about
The fees for customers obtaining a joke from the administration need to be addressed. Might need to another alternative cryptocurrency.

no reply or anything from any borgs or admin on any single one of the dozens of topics on this subject this past couple weeks, yet posts exposing dogshit fraudulent dangerous vendors like gamechanger will get immediately removed from the wall
used to be so passionate about the idea of community and gradual improvements to the site via an alleged democratic process of initiatives but that's long gone for me now
we are all pissing into the wind but it's really fucking windy out and the piss is just going directly back into our faces, you can't stop pissing though because you've been holding it in for an age
yes i totally understand that perhaps in the backend they don't have the resources to implement currency changes but they should at least use the topic wall manipulation in a productive way and actually pin a topic about this to the top of the wall permanantly till a solution is achieved, even if that solution has to be bought, paid for and implemented by biggas and not the borgs

Zero-Intiative Borg at this point.
That was when their last decent dev left them. 400 odd days ago. Nothing has been done since then really.
They need to open source the whole platform. All sensitive data aside.
But that alone is probably 6 months work. To go through everything. Upgrade all the dependencies. Fix all the broken ones. Clear the technical debt.
About a year on from starting that. We are looking at then maybe considering how to approach adding a new payment system into Transaxe. Which has obviously been only set up. From literally the ground up. To support Bitcoin.
It’s like working with the old MySpace. It’s just oldschool code on oldschool code.
Not many of us left who even understand those processes. Those approaches.
But this is where it is.
If they open-sourced the fucking code it’d be fixed in 2 weeks.
Plus all the other shit that pisses people off.
But no. It’s someones little earner. Doesn’t take a huge team to run a site like this.
Runs itself. And that’s the clever thing about the site.
Just needs modernizing. Christ. If it was worth building in the first place and it’s still nearly working. Then why not spend some of the considerable cash in improving the quality of life for your users?
I mean it’s SAAS 101. You keep users by reducing barriers to entry. The less barriers the customer has to get their outcome. Exponentially will your sales increase as convenience and novelty combine into one beautiful package. Where you can just buy some fucking nice weed without needing a PHD in nerd-dialectics to do it.
Removal of new-user barrier to entry = growth.
I wish I could do graphs. It would seem obvious.
Literally losing thousands a month, Biggy are. Potentially. 5X what everyone on here earns with a modern platform in place.
You’d double your money in 6 months with a couple of half-decent devs working on it.
Fuck. You could just have it as a full-on API. Then anyone could build a frontend for it. Just have the keys and you are away. Biggy as a service.
But without the source of the service itself. There is no easy way to add payment methods.
Not without middleware for the middleware. Which is where it then starts getting silly, and hacky, and people start losing money, or it’s all backdoored to fuck.
It’s a Transaxe core change. The only people who should be responsible for that stuff is the core Biggy team. They need to change it.

I really hope they switch up and offer using monero and eth bitcoins got its usesn but. It's a terrible coin for the job.
It baffles me that there's an escrow service presumably raking it in but something as simple as a password change on transaxe takes a week. I feel like it's one person working part time so that being said there is no chance of more currencies being added.
Its a shame because I can only see bitcoin getting worse for fees and like others have said leaves LB exposed to competition.
Transaxe have been good at times, such as taking the hit in the high fees back in May (not sure if they have during this November spike).
I just hope we get to use monero and eth soon.

I'm the same. I've even had a look at what's involved and it's way above my pay grade. If I can get a good dev, I can probably get the mods and run it. There's obviously a monetary incentive through the fees.
Whatever is used has to integrate with LB too. That could be another road block, even if you had the system.

It’s probably not a complex job. But where is the Transaxe source?
Impossible to fork this and work on it. That’s the issue.
It’d have been done ages ago if Transaxe was open-source.
Trivial to use the existing platform to add new payment methods. If we had the source to work from.
Been a software dev for the last 20+ years. Couldn’t see the repo for the Transaxe service. So impossible to make core changes.

FOR i think the only way they will add new payments is if the Vendors went on strike, especially the big vendors on here, if that does not work nothing will, but i think thats what should be done for the greater good, if it means after all parties either save or make more money in the long run it surely is worth the sacrifice.

Currently my $$$ is going to be going elsewhere until fees make lb viable for me again. I'm a wee bit sad about that as I've been liking the site. I expect both customers & vendors will give up in the interim & find / use other markets or locals. It's a shame as it's a great community here and would seem relatively straightforward for a dev to add an alternative payment option which would help solidify the future of lb and mean it'd not shed its users on a crypto hiccup.

I think you have failed to see what it is people want here, I’ve read down your comments, it’s not about the removal of BTC at all it’s about alternative.
Which turns out has been in the pipeline for a while just not picked up, I’ve seen blockhead is looking at running USDT alongside as an alternative.
I would prefer to pay in bit coin but at times like this I would also like to save what money I have and use a cheaper coin to allow for a more accessibility when it comes to payment and not just one.
For example, I normally buy your hashes which are banging and at a great price, so when I would finish ordering what i would normally order I would treat myself to one of your hashes. I haven’t been able to do that as the fee is replacing the price of the hash, neither of us gain anything apart from bitcoin.

The issue is biggas fail to mention btc went up by 24.8% in the last 30 days .. and of course day traders are trading the shit out of btc hence the high fees/ delays and etc..
You inconsistent biggas only complain when btc fees are high but are all quite when fees are cheap and normal..
If you are FOR then Name one alternative coin that can match BTC…
Btc sorted us out for years and now cause the coin is pumping and fees are high everyone wants to jump ship 🤦♂️

it's not about jumping ship at all it's about having other options so we can continue to use this market when BTC fees render this market useless which has been over a week now, i can list off about 10 vendors that want other options like LTC or monero, if we were using LTC i would have about £500 a year extra to spend on here that isn't lost in BTC fees!
and a simple solution to your problem would just be to put in your manifesto that you only accept BTC no other coins, all orders in other currencies will be cancelled
we can't expect BTC to get more stable in the future, i can only see more frequent pumping and pisstake fees at this point amongst a few weeks of "Stability" here and there where the fees are still an absolute pisstake tbh
you probably noticed my lack of orders as well, i'm back to street dealers now lol

The thing is you can receive your funds in an alternative coin with low fees and faster transactions for the buyer, then swap it into BTC if you wanted BTC.
Hypothetical. You get £150 worth of ETH for the order and the buyer has only paid £152 total to pay and transfer funds for the order. Once funds are released to you , you can swap the £150 worth of ETH into BTC if you don't want it in ETH
If they paid using BTC that £150 order would cost them £180 , but you will still only get the £150 worth of BTC in the end. It costs the buyer an extra £30 just for using BTC. Not only is this not sustainable for the buyer but it's also not good for your business as it puts people off buying when fees are this high.

Why is it not reliable?
You can swap your ETH into BTC if you didn't want the alternative coin the second you received it, I don't really see the issue if you can simply swap it?

So I have to already wait 16 days for escrow to release the Money then I have to do another transaction to change it to BTC?..
you’ll have to do your own research why it’s not reliable when the creator can literally turn back time and reverse transaction or freeze funds etc..

Almost all crypto apps have swapping features built in, it takes seconds to swap thousands of dollars , you literally input the amount and click swap. It would take less time than the message you just typed out, yet saves your customers huge amounts on fees.
The few seconds it takes you to do the swap would be far outweighed by the increase In orders you would receive , and money you would make, if an alternative coin was accepted on here.

Increased orders for how long?
What happens when Police start to pressure the creator of ETH to freeze funds or reverse funds or wallets etc?
Bitcoin has been sufficient from day 1 and still is.. yes it’s temporary high fees but that’s only Temporary.
I think everyone is getting too comfortable buying drugs of the internet.

An increase in orders for ever hopefully, fees are higher than other coins even when they are normal.
It's not like it's a one off, this happens every few months with bitcoin and roughly once per year to the current extent. When fees are normal they are still higher on BTC compared to others. If bitcoin continues to increase like people speculate it will, then worse is yet to come for fees.
You can simply swap your coin to BTC, but having alternatives with lower fees cant be a bad thing. Maybe even an option for the seller to choose what coins they accept. No one is saying get rid of btc, but having alternatives can't be a bad thing.

BCH would be a real choice for this website however to replace or sit next to BTC for payments. BCH fees are tiny in comparison!
BTC has a potential successor, it's called Ergo (ERG).
Not saying it would be right coin for this website at the current time, but just putting it out there for awareness in case anyone didn't know about it already.

I don't know enough about it to comment, I did ask for more info but you mentioned I would have to do my own research.
If vendors can choose what coin they accept, they accept the risks that come with the coin they choose. You can stick to BTC and others can choose what every they are comfortable with accepting.

It's not just about the fees I would much prefer to use a privacy focused coin like monero. There are chain analysis companies tracking every bitcoin payment
Thanks. “You” well that’s not true, check my short post history. And as I stated I have had other issues with bitcoin that have nothing to do with fees.
Nobody said jump ship, if you read the OP - we want an alternative option, which I don’t think isn’t reasonable for a variety of reasons? If we’re talking of dumping BTC completely then yes, then this should be a different discussion but that’s not what we’re talking about at least to my eyes.

It’s not bitcoin fault that your sending btc directly to the site or for whatever reason your bnk wants to close your account..
I have trust in the admins.. they sorted us out when shit hits the fan and they have a reason to sticking to btc..
I hope they can see past the riffraff and continue stick to only BTC..
because for many reasons one being BTC creator is Satoshi.
Someone mention FTT.. I don’t know if they taking the piss but that’s a known Scam coin.
Another person said USDT.. the creators of USDT are the biggest crooks.. check out coffeezilla on YouTube and see what he thinks.. his probably the biggest crypto scam buster..
All coins have flaws the most reliable is BTC.
For all your questions just Watch the videos from Bitcoin University

No End In Sight...
Just contact auto settlement Borg for a manual dispute
No End In Sight...
So yeah time for the noob post. Just got on here and at first I was sceptical, then scepticism turned to intrigue, then intrigue turned to joy, then joy to THIS IS XMAS!
But I'm a rational sort of dude so I made an initial small order to test the waters, decided to checkout as a guest (which I'm realising now maybe wasn't the best idea). On Day 8 now and a 2nd package (different vendor) about Day 4 or so. Also I live in a fairly big town so i aint in the sticks either...
I can't complain overall with decent enough comms from both vendors but I'm posting to ask if anyone has had a similar experiences as of the RM strikes? The date today being 10/09.

I wouldn't worry as long as you used reputable seller and gave all correct info then it will show up, I've had must be around 200 orders and every single one has landed for me! :) Longest I waited was 16days on my first ever order! Usually stuff lands in a day or 2 but it's all down to RM at the end of the day. Good luck hope they land soon! :)
yeah i've seen sometimes they take forever but 16 days...well i'm patient enough when I try...just gona have to try extra hard lol always good to know though.
Welcome to LB buddy, teething issues will all come good.👍
Personally I think checking out as a guest suggests a level of paranoia akin to smoking too much but that’s just me 😂…buying logged in allows you to follow your orders and communicate/dispute much easier.
Did you used tracked delivery where available? It’s important to do so as a noob because a lot of fake accounts get set up just to scam reships whereas tracking can help you get refunded.
Very possibly RM delays so sit tight. I don’t think you will get the auto dispute button because you weren’t logged in so you will have to contact transaxe directly which you can do after 9 days. Hope you kept the order numbers? 🤞
Good luck buddy👍

hey polly, yeah paranoia is surely the word...tbh i aint worried about the 5-0, just the waiting game really. I was cautious initially as I've been able to avoid any scams just by being sceptical. I accept that the guest order was (with hindsight) not a good idea but now I know a lil more about the community i'm less sceptical.
For the 2nd order it was tracked and i've asked about it, still to hear back. But yeah I read up about the situation with transax and buying, disputing etc. I kept the order code for the guest one after reading that it's not a bad idea to do that. I've learned some lessons with all of this, the hard way it seems
1. Don't check out as guest
2. Loads of patience
3. Pray to the Gods for salvation!
lol but thanks for the feeback polly, it's appreciated.

Hehe…1 & 2 are correct imo, but 3 is simply “dispute and get refunded” 👍
A good way for noobs to test the reality of LB (because it’s very hard to believe it actually exists) is to order from a highly rated vendor that does free NDD and hopefully eliminate the horrible waiting game (although RM strikes will still fuck everything!)
Canadian Imports & Dr.Greenthumb come to mind. Many vendors on here are simply Legend 😻

yeah seen that there are many good ones about. RM strikes are about typical for my luck. What a world! Mars anyone? XD
yeah so 1st 1 still hasn't arrived but no biggy. got stuff from 2nd vendor so happy with that and took some advice from the community and went for dr greenthumb and got next day, was pleased with the stuff so most has landed so all good really.
There's a way to go back to the order you made as a guest and link it to your account so you can track it, etc. I've done it before but don't remember the steps.. perhaps someone else does??
Either way, I've just waited 6 days for an order from a vendor whose packages usually only take 1-2 days, so I think the strikes have caused quite a significant back log

yeah it's almost difficult to imagine that a 1st class package could take so long! But there's plenty of change goin down uk side right now so I guess that doesn't surprise me, guess it depends on a lot of factors.
Hey buddy
Depends who you ordered from.
I did exactly as you did on my first purchase’s I ordered of 4 different vendors small amounts just to test the waters 2 vendors hash turned up within 2-3days then a week later another vendor stuff showed after various messages to them and vendor no4 hash never showed and they kept stringing me along saying it would show even gave me a tracking code and it kept saying stuck in post from spain So I disputed it through transax and got all my coin back best thing ever that’s why it’s here.
If you’ve not had any comms and you’ve paid for items not showing start a dispute that’s why it’s there pal there is no harm in doing so you can always stop the dispute if vendors comes true. anyway hope this helps and welcome to this brilliant place it truly is the best when you find good vendors
Any help you need just send a pm I have made nearly 30 buys now
WELCOME 🤗

Friendliest Islamic Destinations?
I've been to so many Christian places, Buddhist, but never a Moslem one. Where do you suggest?
Agreed, I went to Istanbul during Ramadan a few years ago and it was fantastic. Highly recommend that city, just a beautiful place and the food is amazing!
Cheers. BB
Cheers. BB
My Auntie and her “friend” went to Turkey during Ramadan and she said it was nightmare. Agreed that it was a beautiful place and the food was beyond superb.
Apparently Jordan is quite chill. Haven’t been but have seen a documentary following a guy (Levison Wood) travelling around Arabia and definitely Jordan is more relaxed than some surrounding countries. Also Petra is in Jordan which looks amazing
Malaysia & Indonesia definitely worth a mention! Very underrated as tourist destinations. Azerbaijan is a fairly secular Muslim nation, with a big drinking culture & nightclubs, same goes for Kosovo. Friend of mine visited both & had a great time. Apparently Kosovans love Brits. Morocco is very regional, but always friendly. I've never been but some of the best & most hospitable people I've encountered come from there - a colleague of mine gave me a big chunk of hash at work once because he was despairing at the shwag I was smoking (pre-LB days!).
I dunno, they didn't do too well in the Suez war... And I'm pretty sure the ottomans beat them a couple times too.
My friend went to Iraq before lockdown and had a brilliant time. Iraqis are very friendly and tjough there are issues a well run tour will be worth it. Some of the architecture looks incredible.
Most ‘ordinary’ people are friendly and accommodating wherever you go, it’s the extremist hardline cultists in positions of power that are the cancer. Look at the U.K. for a hardline extremist cultist government!
Anyway, the Turkish are generally friendly.
There’s the Maldives and Tunisia which are also relatively safe.

"look at the UK for a hard-line extremist cultist government" I don't even know how to begin to comprehend this level of hilarious stupidity.
Look at the Afghan govt, sure, North Korea go right ahead... I'm not sure you understand what extremism actually is, or what the UK government actually does, I'll give you a hint though (you're a moron)
Also turkey being relatively friendly compared to the UK? I think you need to lay off the bud, bud.
However Tunisia is fantastic for a holiday, I can't fault that.

The fact you had to stoop to childish insults shows that actually you are the moron. :)
I’m pretty amused that you got so worked up about a bit of sarcasm, your medula oblongata kicked in before you had a chance to think!

Wow as a British Muslim I came here expecting the same regurgitated racist nonsense you see all over Facebook etc. I just want to say it’s a breath of fresh air seeing all these posts. I also wanted to say that first and foremost I would consider myself British, my dad moved to this country 30+ years ago (whether due to prior circumstances or not) and has built an amazing life for us all here in much we certainly wouldn’t have been able to enjoy in his own country.
The problem is you have people coming over nowadays who do not want to intergrate into British society at all, learn the language? No thanks, try some traditional English food? don’t eat that horrible bland food. Claim the benefits? Yes please. I find myself in a situation where I am unable to buy a home, unable to live comfortably while working what I would say is a fairly good job all because 1000+ goes towards deductions and funding these kind of people. These kind of people are the real problem and tarnish the reputation of everyone else.
To the OPs question most countries barring Saudi Arabia are fine for a visit just be sure to obey the local customs. Saudi Arabia is full of bigoted hypocrites so I would steer well clear of there. Some notable examples which are quite liberal are Morocco and Turkey. Istanbul and marrakech are good city breaks and there are also loads of resort towns such as Agadir, Bodrum etc. Further afield you could travel to the northern areas of Pakistan where I am from we have the 2nd tallest mountain K2, hash from the Himalayas beautiful food and beautiful people. It’s an amazing place and it’s safe despite what you hear on the news. Search karakoram tourism if you’re interested

the other day i was at a meeting with a young lady from afghanistan, she is becoming a teacher here, she is most welcome.
You sounds like you are blaming immigrants for your economic situation. That stuff you don't like seeing on Facebook seems to be seeping in and affecting your views of migrants.
'People coming over nowadays' but not *my* parents - exactly the kind of words we're sick of hearing from Priti and Suella. I promise you, the same will have been said about your dad 30 years ago, I was old enough in the 80s and 90s to remember it.

I think you are confused sir are you for migration or against?
I am talking from first hand experience, I know my dad experienced racism in the 90s and I have experienced it first hand when travelling to more rural parts of the UK. Racists will be racists but I have enough life experience to know not all white people in this country are like that. This is nothing to do with race anyway it’s about British culture and contributing to the society we live in. I have seen myself people come over here, get a council house within 2 months, universal credit, free medical. Add the odd cash in hand job to that and you’re laughing.

We've always had high levels of migration in and out of this country and just to be clear I am more than happy with that, I'm not trying to make some sort of anti-migration point in a weird way.
You sound like you are against migrants being housed, supported by the welfare state, or provided with medical treatment when they're sick. I'd prefer to live in a country that minimises homelessness, poverty, and illness, regardless of the recipient's country of birth. You've painted a picture of migrants 'coming over here', being provided with the bare minimum to integrate into society, and being happy as a result as though it's somehow a bad thing. Would you prefer that they weren't? Do you not think it hinders someone's ability to become a functioning member of society if they're homeless, penniless, and denied medical treatment? How's that going to help with them integrating and contributing to society?
The beef I have with what you're saying about migrants is that it's no different to what your dad will have heard 30 years ago, and probably no different to what you hear directed at yourself when you're out in the sticks. The comparison I made with Priti and Suella was no doubt unfair, you are surely nothing like as abhorrent as those two, but you use the same words. I ask you to reflect on them and how you feel when those same words are directed at you and your family.

So you think the current system where 10-member families can come over here to claim everything when they have a perfectly fine life where they are is ok?
I agree if there is a genuine need for asylum then yes careful support should be provided but also monitored and tapered off when reasonable. The current system can be more profitable than working a 9-5.
I agree if there is a genuine need for asylum then yes careful support should be provided but also monitored and tapered off when reasonable. The current system can be more profitable than working a 9-5.
I'm sure we're in agreement that we have a crazy economic situation where working 9-5 at minimum wage is often not enough to survive, and I agree that the meagre levels of support that's provided by the welfare state sometimes exceed that. But it's the low wages and high costs that are the problem, the disparities in wealth distribution in the sixth largest economy in the world. It's not the amounts that are received by benefit claimants that causes problems for those in low paid work. Far from it, indeed it makes society worse for everyone to live amongst widespread poverty.
Reducing the support to those in need is not going to help people to be fully functioning members of society, whether they have migrated here recently or can trace their family tree back to the Alfred the Great. You shouldn't blame migrants and benefit claimants for the dire situation the low paid find themselves in in this country these days, you're directing blame downwards rather than upwards where it really lies.

I travelled around SE Asia for a few months and I loved Lombok in Indonesia. We were stopping at a homestead that a Muslim family owned. They don't drink but were more than happy to get alcohol in for us travellers.
Indonesia in general I really enjoyed as well as Malaysia.

I'll vouch for Morocco. You've got to be streetwise of course, but a beautiful country with kind and generous people. You soon tune out the prayer calls.
As an english guy with a house in morocco, I'd definitely vouch for that - I fell in love with the place. Tangiers in the nprth is perfect if you dont want things too hot and youd like to still see alot of europeans, casablanca or marakech if your looking for the arab vibes with old medinas and lots of tourist activities - Fez if you like leather. There are even a few smaller places i like such as chef chawen - the blue city which have some amazing places to see. You could even visit the jabala and see farming as it was hundreds of years ago - youll never meet nicer or more genuine people
Of course im biased!
On a side note, if you biggas are into your smoke, go to morocco and head to places like al hoceima in the rif mountains - they grow everything up there and would happily sell you a kilo for less than £100 😁

I'd say pick a muzza country you like a go for it.
Being of Islamic faith I'd say most muslims actually really like modern American and European culture, it fits very well with our cultural structures.
As a non Muslim in an Islamic country, as a guest, you will be treated very well.
Only thing I would suggest is inglis88 mentioned Balsall Heath, cuzi is chatting bubbles. Sounds like a hater, it's just like any other urban area around the world, I should know. I just passed through it.

I'd second Indonesia and Malaysia as being extremely friendly, but the friendliest people I've ever met are from travelling in Kyrgyzstan, where everyone I met wanted you to either stay with them or to take you out for dinner and meet all their family and friends! I've also heard great things about Tajikistan!🙏🏼💚
Morocco ... been there 8 times
Food is terrific, rich culture, wonderful people.
As with other places, beware of scammers, but the public, wow.
I've travelled a lot in my almost 44 years, Morocco is a must see!
Places I would recommend:
Marrakesh, Take a tour to Ourika, beautiful waterfall up there
Casablanca, buzzing city and the largest Mosque in Afrika
PM me for more info if you like ...

Pakistan is very good country to visit, most travel vloggers has said Pakistan is the most hospitable country out of the 44 countries they visited. Personally I'd travel to northern areas of Pakistan and even go to the area near Afgan border if your wanting fresh pure hash
Definitely would recommend Malaysia, Indonesia, Turkey, Tunisia and Jordan. Malaysia and Indonesia are possibly the friendliest and nicest people I’ve ever met in my life. Also, their food and natural scenery is absolutely top tier. Morocco is a nice place too but I think the others are much better especially for tourism.
All the best,
Tescrow.

Morocco, Egypt, Turkey and Indonesia are all favourites but a real stand out star for me is Uzbekistan - full of history, especially from the Genghis Khan days as the silk road splits in Uzbekistan where you can go up to Russia/Europe or down to Middle East/Africa, as well as being full of really lovely people. I hope to get back there one day...
I spent 3 years in Indonesia and 3 months in the Philippines with frequent travel to Singapore. Indonesia was like my second home, just stay clear of drugs, which you'll most likely only be offered in bali and the neighbouring islands.
If you don't have an international driving license and shouldn't be on the roads, they'll hand you a piece of paper saying you need to pay £50-100. Don't pay it. Before I lived there and was a tourist I was stupid enough to pay it. You should be paying around £5. Locals pay around £2.
In the 3 years I was there, I only felt unsafe twice. One was on a bus and the people were trying to sell me a fake rolex for an amount of money and they were quite adamant I was gonna pay up. Second time I was out in the sticks with my girlfriend on my vespa and a dodgy couple were following us, clocked them quite early and confirmed relatively soon after they were looking into us. We just headed back to the population. Whether we were somewhere we shouldnt have been and peaked interest, ill never know!
Going back to drugs, my apartment was randomly raided for a drugs test. Not shitting you I open the door to a big team of narco agents and a TV news crew. They were doing random drugs tests in the neighbourhood. Literally take me to my toilet, pass me a plastic cup and watches me with my back turned pee in the cup! Can't make the shit up! Fortunately all was good.
I have highlighted a few of my bad experiences however it can't replace the 100s of amazing experiences I gained. The people are friendly, the food is good. Number 1 rule when visiting Asian Street food stalls, go where all the locals go, if you don't follow the rule you'll end up code brown.
Stay safe. Stay wise. Be respectful. Carry as little as possible and follow the laws, you'll be safe in almost any country.
Also the dude at the airport literally asked for an underhand of £15 to let me through the gates. Explained i had overstayed by one day.

If you don't have an international driving license and shouldn't be on the roads, they'll hand you a piece of paper saying you need to pay £50-100. Don't pay it. Before I lived there and was a tourist I was stupid enough to pay it. You should be paying around £5. Locals pay around £2.
In the 3 years I was there, I only felt unsafe twice. One was on a bus and the people were trying to sell me a fake rolex for an amount of money and they were quite adamant I was gonna pay up. Second time I was out in the sticks with my girlfriend on my vespa and a dodgy couple were following us, clocked them quite early and confirmed relatively soon after they were looking into us. We just headed back to the population. Whether we were somewhere we shouldnt have been and peaked interest, ill never know!
Going back to drugs, my apartment was randomly raided for a drugs test. Not shitting you I open the door to a big team of narco agents and a TV news crew. They were doing random drugs tests in the neighbourhood. Literally take me to my toilet, pass me a plastic cup and watches me with my back turned pee in the cup! Can't make the shit up! Fortunately all was good.
I have highlighted a few of my bad experiences however it can't replace the 100s of amazing experiences I gained. The people are friendly, the food is good. Number 1 rule when visiting Asian Street food stalls, go where all the locals go, if you don't follow the rule you'll end up code brown.
Stay safe. Stay wise. Be respectful. Carry as little as possible and follow the laws, you'll be safe in almost any country.
Also the dude at the airport literally asked for an underhand of £15 to let me through the gates. Explained i had overstayed by one day. Saved me a huge amount of time with all the paper work and was a fraction less than what I would have had to pay to their government! The hilarious thing was he was sat on a closed gate and I skipped the busy queue 😂

Saddam Hussein went out shopping one day. Upon his return he was greeted by Uday, who said “what’s in the bag dad?”
Northern Cyprus is good in the summer for a few weeks great food that is inexpensive, for around a tenner you can get a decent 3 couse meal at a nice Chinese for example and really nice backdrops of the sea at most restaurants just don’t upset anyone in the army as they do no fuck about.
I heard a story when I was there about a foreigner who had pissed off one of there neighbours and the neigbour told the army that they had drugs so they got them and held them for 2 days hitting them demanding to know where the stash was buried a proper pistol whipping.
Also be aware if you ever get caught in a Muslim country with narcotics you are on your own no one will risk there reputations to be associated with drugs so no help will be coming anytime soon.

Heya Muslim here albeit not so much a practising one anymore.
If it’s Muslim history and culture you’re after I would say Istanbul (research Ottoman Empire before you go). Also Jordan has lots of history dating back to the time of the crusaders. Do a bit of research on the crusade and salahuddin ayyubi before you go (he’s a bit of a hero amongst our Kurdish brothers).
Egypt has more history about the ancients than Islamic history. Believe it or not Saudi Arabia has very little. Non Muslims are also forbidden to enter Mecca - the holy capital.
Jerusalem would have been a good shout had it not been for the current conflict.
Please let us know where you decide!

when this happened to me it was when i'd made an order when I wasn't logged in (this can happen). I would message the seller - check they have your order (they very likely will) explain what happened and ask for their address so you can pay the remainder.

Which Killer Robots to Team Up With?
They will run the future sure and if you can't beat em etc. I get this no problem. But which fucking ones? I'm starting to think abut this more seriously as the robots around us now look like potential leaders of the next generation or at least useful icons, right?
The sniper robot flying drones are a decent bet, I like that they were fine tuned by competent rational pilots because people like that are good bridgers between a.i. and the rest of us.
But so are the sex bots, yes? And they will be trained but something better than each of us than war. In most cases.

I think religions come pretty soon afterwards if not before the hookers. A.I. can bring any myth to life and get some really enthusiastic humans on board.

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…..

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

Anyone ever had a car accident stoned?
I just had a close call last night, I was super focused on changing the song on my phone cause I fucking hate what it was playing and really pissed that Spotify was playing the shit again after I had already skipped it several times in the past, really it was an insult to begin with suggesting I would like Katie Perry - because who knows why? Maybe she had a track with somebody else that I liked but I can't figure out who AND WHOAH I am driving through a red light and SHIT there is an suv headed towards me and already slamming on the breaks. So then the good magic powers side of the weed kick in and I do this swerve to the left while I jam the accelerator I don't even know where the hell I got the idea still I gave up on the Fast and Furious like 5 movies ago but goddam it worked. Has this happened to anyone else?
You could just stop fucking with your stereo.
Its nothing to do with weed its to do with self incompetence.
Changing music while driving is as bad as using your phone.

Not the magic powers part, I took out my neighbors mailbox backing out of my driveway while otherwise feeling amazing thanks to the kind folks here.
I drive around the countryside for work and I'm high most of the day, never caused me a problem. Have crashed 3 times while sober though, but one of those was being side swiped by a lorry (driver fell asleep). Wish I was stoned, might not have hurt so much..
i took out a bird (of the avian variety) whilst driving (stoned). it was a being wanker and had it coming. however, that was a conscious choice...
Nope only once when I wasnt. I think when I'm stoned driving I'm much more aware of everything. Only bad thing is the police , worst thing you can hear when stoned is " Lads checkpoint " .
Nope, been doing it for almost 20 years. Funny thing was just talking to one of my best friends from back in the day. We used to get stoned and go for a drive. Used to do some, what I find scary now country lanes, with crazy bends, up hills and down hills.
Seen some funny shit too whilst stoned and driving.
Would panic when a police car would go past or pull up next to me at the lights but now I vape, so don't give a shit anymore.

Ricky, that you?
Jokes aside, I drive way better stoned than sober. Much smoother and less aggressive.

I have been driving stoned for many years and never had an accident.. but I have witnessed hundreds when out driving...lol...
As for driving round stoned, I live in my cur my cur is my home, I’m sure you get stoned at home probably, all types of weed.
I play call of duty better when stoned I can ice skate better when I’m baked and I drive better when I’m baked I can’t remember what I had for breakfast most days but I can quick snipe a brother from across the map easy hahah somethings activities weed enhances me slightly I’m sure of it never binned a car yet touch wood seen many a close call been in a few over the years but never actually wrecked a whip when stoned
Why are you looking at your phone while driving? Let alone driving while high looking at these comments too some of y’all need a moral check imo
Do a lot of driving stoned myself, never had any issues. The last time I had an issue was when me and a friend rented a hotel room at like... 18 I think. We had an ounce of some weird ass weed we needed to get rid of... smoked the whole ounce through the night, and then I tried to drive home and when I pulled out of the hotel I was driving on the wrong side of the road (was the middle of the night with no cars out).
Oops... but I quickly figured that out and got back in the right lane haha.

US to citizens: Give Us All Your Gold or 10 years in Jail

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.

Personally I don't care much for identity politics. Especially American identity politics which seems twice as reductive as it is here. Most are apathetic about Trump in the UK I think.
He is, however, still living rent free in your head apparently.

What is the best Science Fiction Anime Series?
Cowboy Bebop is amazing, beautifully written, drawn, and directed. Don't be turned off by the 1st episode which isn't very sci fi and more like film noir cliche stuff. The future world unfolds over the episodes along with the back story of how it evolved though another great thing is each episode stands independently.
There is supposed to be a live action movie coming out at some point in the future. I thought there would be a third season but l guess l am wrong.
Steins gate is class. Time travel sci fi. Bit of a slow burner but get past the first two episodes it’s quality on Netflix as well.
Steins;Gate is brilliant. Some unique characterisations and a great, but inevitably confusing, take on the time travel concept with a ton of real world references and conspiracies. Solid choice. However, I highly recommend this viewing order: Steins;Gate episodes 01-22 then episode 23β (alternate version of 23), Steins;Gate 0 episodes 01-23 (you can watch somewhere online or on Crunchyroll) then original Steins;Gate series episodes 23-24. Sounds confusing lol but honestly this is the best way to experience the story.
Finished kaiba the other night from this recommendation. Thought it was class, trippy as fuck.
I love the premise here with the mind-body interchange but its really hard for me to get past the drawing. It seems more like something out of Spain in the 1930s than Anime.
Don’t know if this is a mad suggestion or if literally everybody has seen it. But the Animatrix ?
9 (I think) half an hour animated films set within The Matrix universe. All are interesting and well animated, but a few are stellar.
There’s one created by Shinichiro Watanabe, of cowboy beebop and samurai champloo (my personal favourite).
If you haven’t seen it, buy the dvd and watch it; if you have seen it, back me up!
Peace

Terraformars (テラフォーマー, Terafōmā) are evolved humanoid cockroaches who live on Mars. They possess physical traits and skills that greatly surpass those of normal humans. They also appear to be somewhat intelligent and have a natural hatred for humans; much like how humans hate cockroaches.

serial experiment lain!!!, a bit old but still ahead of most anime... and I mean, Evangelion, if you have not seen it!
Deathnote was good, so was One Punch Man. Terror in Residence was really good too. And I quite liked Knights of Sidonia. Or just watch Akira and Ghost in the Shell and be done with it :)
Thanks for the tip. It should be cool just based on the fact that he did Samurai Jack. And Ive found out a movie version was made and even submitted to oscars (fck oscars tho!).. Nice!!
Sci fi anime faves:
Noein (short series based on quantum physics theory),
Gintama (comedy anime partly set in space),
Ergo proxy (short dystopian series in futuristic world),
Inuyashiki (Old man becomes a weaponized cyborg and you follow his story),
Parasyte (High school kid gets infected by an alien parasyte),
And last but not least!
Psycho pass, it has 3 seasons and about 5 movies on the same world. A world which is monitored by an expert crime a.i. program, people get a hue which shows how likely to commit crime you will be, it's hard to explain but definitely my favourite sci fi series for a while.

Edens Zero is a new series if you want somthing light hearted and not too heavy ... if you want heavy watch Gantz, Straight jacket, Karas ect.... Brynhildr in the Darkness is not bad ether has a sci-fi take on witches being aliens..
Trigun was one of my favourite highly recommended it. The 7 deadly sins is pretty cool.
Terra formars is one of my all time favorites, parasyte is great but more body horror than sci fi
Think someone has mentioned all of these, but still
gurren lagann, Evangelion, Cowboy bebop, Space Dandy, Legend of the galactic heroes are some of the heavy hitters that everyone should see
Planetes is lesser known and quite low stakes but really good show about a crew who live on a satellite and have to collect trash from earth's orbit
Kaiba is great if you can stomach the art-style and are high enough to understand what's going on

Steins Gate has to be number 1 it’s one of the best anime's even outside of just the sci fi category, I highly recommend it, it has really interesting plot-lines about time-travel. Parasyte is also another great watch along with cowboy bebop a classic futuristic western like show.
Cowboy Bebop. No qualifying statement required. It's a timeless classic. I wish I could see it for the first time again
Space dandy. Some really good episodes to watch stoned especially the first few.
Love death robots good shout.
Saiki k. Didn't watch stoned but really enjoyed it, might give it another look myself.
Non SciFi recommendation would be Kakegurui, if you haven't watched it watch it stoned it's really good. It's about gambling and girls that leak a lot of fluid.
Also 'close enough' is quite good to watch stoned from the makers of the regular show but for adults.
All should be on Netflix.

Castlevania on Netflix is awesome! Not really sci-fi but the art style is great and a nice spin on an old tale. I binge watched 3 seasons in like 3days lol
I am going to give a quirky suggestion and say Boogiepop Phantom. Otherwise, Cowboy Bebop.
(But once you are done with Cowboy Bebop, watch Samurai Champloo. It is Cowboy Bebop set in feudal Japan).

Isaac Newton Minted Coins and Busted Scammers
After he left Cambridge Newton was a kind of proto Satoshi
If that interests you, check out Neal Stephenson’s Baroque Cycle. It is a series of books written as historical novels following Newton and a host of other characters.
A large part of the plot involves Newton’s time at the mint. Super entertaining and interesting.

Worst song ever? And why... GO!
all the weed on lb couldnt get me through this
Anything by Elton John fucking hate the cunt and his music, my wife ruined my Xmas day few years back by telling me a gay singer i didnt like had died.
I was so exited then she told me it was George Michael and i was gutted.
I was so exited then she told me it was George Michael and i was gutted.
and i feel better about myself, you know plotting his murder and all. george michael on the other hand was a genius and worth a quickie in the facility of his choosing
Hahahaha, I actually like Elton, well as much as a straight man can but that made me laugh man.
Fairground simply red, gives me violent thoughts of grabbing mick by his flowing red curls and bouncing his head of every hard surface available. Total pissflap
Yeah anything by Simply Red can give me Forrest Whittaker eye but Fairground is especially bad
And imagine being called Eileen when it came on down the pub back in the day…. Poor cow needed 3 packs of baby wipes.
That Barbie girl tune, need I say why! Lol
And the “grandma I love you” tune, showing my age! Lol
And the “grandma I love you” tune, showing my age! Lol
Ok you win… The grandma I love you song was fucking horrendous, then they felt the need to create the sequel… Grandpa I love you… I mean we got the message the first time.
Too many but Will Smith - Wild Wild West has got to be up there surely. It’s like some record execs put a gun to his head and said ‘Dance bitch!’
Do you think they did it again to willow ? I whip my hair even for a 13 year old was fucking awful
that movie had so much going for it and they still blew it, would make a better series than a lot of shit
Nothing Compares to You by Sinead Depressing Cunt O'Connor that song has the warmth and charm of a dead Rat lying next to a used Tampon.
Lol. She is a liar too, when that Leo chap drowned in the ice, his heart certainly didn’t go on….
Steppin' Out by Joe Jackson. Ain't rock, ain't disco, can't dance to it without looking like Steve Martin doing a retarded dance.
If you really want a contender for worst song, you need to listen to Taylor Swift Gorgeous. The song composition and the lyrics seem like they were written by a child.
Also majority of her songs. She did a cover of September by earth wind and fire that haunts me... She turned funk into folk what the actual fuck.
hahaha.. funny to see Zeppelin here because it did occur to me too . Seems like everybody has to adore their music :P
I forgot all about this,Hey plenty of Zepp stuff is fine but that song really gets my goat the first time i heard it i never knew who it was my missus had been putting cd's in the laptop and they kept getting synched to my ipod it came on random one day and i just went wtf is this shit before looking who it was, it sounds to me like a holiday camp band doing reggae.
All musicians steal mate and say they were inspired. A lot of that era were the same. Keith Richards does it. Don’t think that takes away from them as musicians.
Cool, mine too. Sometimes I feel like the great Alan in your photo speaking to younger people. AHA. I was sick with laughter when he got hit with a cow. Steve coogans characters are genius. All the way back to the calf family
as a punk i was always compelled to hate led zep, it was a mistake, i still hate most classic rock still (with merit now) but these guys were really in a class by themselves.
I’m too nice to downvote as maybe that’s how you feel but seriously? The band who gave us in my time of dying can never be fuckin awful.
Keane - Bedshaped.
Stupid, depressing lyrics that make no sense at all.
Bedshaped? That'll be a bed then...
I hate it because it reminds me of the two weeks I spent crawling around a 20 inch deep subfloor void for 8 hours a day, doing timber treatments on a huge old house.
That shit was on the radio every 20 mins for the whole time we were there.
Scarred me 🙉

Best Game of 2023?
started topic
I still have games in the cellophane from 2022 in the backlog of shame.
Fucking kids (and dota) 😂
Personally I don’t rate the many reskins, rehashes, reimagine toons or remakes.
Low risk option to make your moneys back. I know all too well how expensive game dev is but want something truly magical again.
Maybe I’m getting old, but I fear it’s lack of true innovation in the space.
One day the skunk will get backing for his own studio 🤞

The Finals is the new FPS to play with destructible environment, fast paced gameplay while also being easy to get into within the first 3 matches or less. I would say this is a great game to play if you are an arena shooter player or a movement player.
Baldurs Gate 3 took the cake easily for me. I ignored it for the first 2 months because I don't play D&D or CRPG's. But everything about it sunk me in, the cinematics, the freedom, so much content and loot, storylines and side quests are great. Got over 400 hours in so far and still finishing a run on tactician while playing with a friend on a different save.
Lethal Company was a fun friend party game to play, however after 20 hours my fun ran out. Would return when there are a few new monsters or something to reward long term play.
Last of Us remake on Steam was fun. (After waiting 5 months after release for a discount and beacuse the game was a buggy mess during this time)
Resident Evil 4 was awesome, I never played the old ones. I started from Resident Evil 5 years ago and went on from there.
My final pick has to be Baldurs Gate 3. Story, game mechanics, high replayability, animation, customization, range of classes and races. I am still finding new areas, spell combos, and strats after 400 hours. This is my desert island game right now.

Apex wont like me saying this lol but it seems like remakes are unfortunately still the best games these days.
Resi Evil 4 probably best game of 2023 for me and game of 2024 will 100% be FF7 Rebirth, no contest, that is a game I'm ready to lose a few months of my life to :D
Biggest disappointment of 2023 has to be Baulders Gate 3 - can't believe I fell for the hype like a right mug and dropped £50 on such a dull and generic game. Genuinely can't see at all where the hype has come from for this game it's completely mid-level. Ah well lesson learnt... until the next time!

I don’t dispute they are some of the best mate just annoys me.
I’ll pick up last of us 1 and 2 on ps5 soon and not play them 😂
I’ve just done the resident evil run myself and on 3rd remake on steam deck.
Been meaning to try the finals and bg3 but time is limited and dota 😂

I'll be honest I couldn't even finish the 3rd Resi Evil found it too stressful lol I don't know what it was with those Resident Evil remakes maybe I've just been smoking way too much weed or maybe it's just because newer games are so easy but even the 4th remake had really tricky bits and that one was a breeze originally.
They're taking the piss with the last of us remasters though I'm not playing that again I'm not.... I think I'm not lol.

Now I’m just waiting for 1 and I might play both on ps5 by end of 2025

Best AI Strategy to Kill All Humans?
started topic
Yup, humans are so easy to provoke.
All a super-AI has to do is literally create a shit-tonne of political shit-posts and watch the carnage unfold.
Example; if Pakistan sent India tonnes of actual dog shit, they would probably go to war that very day.

Loneliness seems to be at the heart of this, we keep building character bots to treat this then they learn how to play us out.
Dude, what's with the killing all humans and why would we need to outsource such an act. 8 billion souls.
Maybe the bots have already figured out the answers and are just waiting for us.

Why isn't it a fundamental human right to work with whoever you chose regardless of where they were born?
Very true, our receipt is our birth certificate. If you are aware of the strawman and the invisible cage that houses us all.

Paranoid weird ramblings. I'm not a sheep I'm a Shepard and have made a great life for myself, taking decisions and steering my own fate.
I'm at a loss as to why you need a right to choose who you work WITH. Work is a private agreement between you and an employer, so who the other workers are is irrelevant. Isn't it? Or am I missing something fundamental here?

you are assuming the person is not an employer who wants to work with someone or someone that wants to work with a particular employer.

{Economics}
how hard is it to get skills anymore?
the growing divide between rich and poor, the loss of jobs to immigrants and robots, youth unemployment, nearly every economic problem is caused by a lack of value producing skills.
but why? nearly everything you could do in this world can be learned for free with this little invention called the world wide web. i think you have heard of it even if you don't have an expensive computer.
a p.o.s. android phone and free wifi has you in many of the finest classrooms on earth, you don't need a wing named after your grandfather anymore.
if you don't have the patience for this there is a youtube video for 21st century dummies on nearly every lesson on earth, pause, rewind, learn at your own pace for free.
yeah sorry, the assembly line that paid for 3 weeks off isn't hiring anymore, neither is the lord's farm or those stone hauling gigs down in egypt. things have changed - for the better.

Acquiring knowledge is different to acquiring skills.
You're not going to learn how to deal with patients, or good bedside manner, if you're a nurse, from a YouTube video.
Nor dealing with livestock if you're a farmer. These things come with time on the job.
I do agree though that your average degree, certainly in humanities, can be done from your sofa.
The Internet is a wonderful thing. I think sometimes we forget how lucky we are to have this amount of knowledge at our fingertips.
Just my 2p.
Cheers BB

Try to think from the perspective of a business owner. Sifting through resumes. Bachelor's. honours. Doctorates. Oh no. This mad lad has googled it. Hire him now
Anyone can acquire the skills that they want, it just depends upon how dedicated they are. I mean there's a shit ton of skills that i want to master and learn, but usually i'm busy with other things. The internet is a wonderful thing. But also, it takes a lot of time to learn certain skills and most people like my self are quite lazy and can't be asked to learn new things, unless they really want to.
True but I'm not sure about "anymore". It's always been possible for motivated people to acquire skills, it's easier now but I don't think that is going to change the dynamic. People are afraid and or lazy when it comes to pursuing things that aren't right up in their face.
Find something that fascinates you. And just will yourself to know everything there is to know about it.
There is knowledge, there is wisdom, and there is also passion.
If you don’t have a passion for something. You’ll never truly know about it. And if you don’t truly know about it, you’ll never gain true wisdom.

Actually all of our problems are due to over population. One person can do more work now due to technology. Also humans keep on devaluing themselves by constantly breeding. It’s the law of supply and demand. The fewer of us there are the more valuable we are to employers. When we breed out of control then employers can pick whoever they want. That’s my opinion;)

Don’t question increasing stratification of haves and have nots, just pull yourself up by your bootstraps.

I get what your saying but the person carrying out the skilled job more often than not needs proper training and certification if not just for the client but more importantly for insurance purposes!
Insurance would work a lot better if there were public records of outcomes on a blockchain rather than a certification authority that inevitably becomes a racket.
This is true from the perspective of individuals, but what about societies. Societies like governments take most f our resources under the auspices of producing better outcomes.
If society says yeah anyone can do anything if they play the game right that's a fail. It should be a matter of course that an honest and motivated person is going to do well but that's not what we have. The only sure thing in our society is access to power.

The Royals Should Pay Slavery Reparations
Who among us today:
- stands on the most wealth compounded from past sins?
- are the clearest descendants of those responsible?
- can most afford it?
If there is any credible role for these living vestiges of the past it is to account for it.

England outlawed slavery in the 19th century and actively fought and stopped those that were in the business of slavery.
Back in the day it wasn't like there was one country enslaving another, it was a world wide business and England stood up to the world to stop it. England has already had it's anti-slavery moment, it took place over a hundred years ago and since then we have been against it.
There were African tribes capturing and selling people to slavers, do you want them to pay as well, and who do you want them to pay?
The Chinese and Persians also took slaves from Africa, they castrated them.
Pulling down statues and washing over history is going to do more to help people to forget that it ever happened, we should leave the statues up and educate people so that we know to never ever let it happen again.
Taking away someone's freedom without reason and trading in people's misery is about as bad as it gets and I repeat, we should never let it happen again. Pulling down statues is another step in the direction of helping people forget that it ever happened and if we can't learn from the past then we are in danger of repeating it.

regardless the royals personally owned slaves and here they still are able to pay up for it.
You idiot, lots of people owned slaves, it was kind of a thing.... Let me guess they also need to pay war reparations to the horses of the light brigades descendants? The fact you buy drugs online rather than work on your mental deficiencies is astonishing.
just wondering how does that 2 wrongs make a right routine work out for you? my experience and that of the history of man is that it's toxic as fuck.
Hindsight is twenty twenty, as they say. It is, however, useless when we are aimlessly stumbling through the present moment to survive. I liken the experience to growing older and maturing. If we were to atone for every sin we accumulated through childhood, we'd mostly ALL be skint, black, white, yellow, brown, or rainbow-coloured. If you are always looking back over your shoulder, you'll never look forward.
and what about the 1.5 million white slaves taken from europe by africans? dont they count?
or was reading real history too complicated for you? clown.
we abolished slavery while african chiefs were putting cages full of slaves on the beaches waiting for profit.
over 2000 british servicement died fighhting slavers while it was still legal in every other country on earth.
more blacks owned slaves than whites did...and over 90% of slaves in africa died before they reached sdale.
but dont let the truth effect your ill informed media driven propaganda.

The fact you can post this and think "ooo take that Britain" just shows what kind of pathetic warped individual you are, I bet you also agree with "from the river to the sea"
This country is a bastion of human rights, fairness and equality and has been longer than any single country on earth. Posting shit like this just demonstrates not everyone SHOULD have the right to be here.

Who should they pay reparations to?
The African countries that are still using their own people as slaves?

that would exclude all the descendants of slaves since they were taken away from those countries
Why do descendants deserve anything? Would they move back to Africa now? They probably have a better life where they are.
The Romans enslaved most of Europe but you don't see Europeans begging for a handout from Italy. Same with the Vikings and Denmark.

The continent of Africa circa the trans-atlantic slave trade was inhabited by peoples of various tribes and factions who were engaged in perpetual conflict, over resources but also owing to cultural differences. They would each kidnap rivals and enslave them, offering them to the British in exchange for money or goods. The notion that Europeans simply bopped over and ransacked the place and shackled the natives is not just unfounded, it is preposterous. Excursions to Africa were costly, not just in terms of money and resources but also in men. They were mounted with the intention to obtain slaves through trade as this meant less lives (and gunpowder) were lost in the pursuit of their objective, which was to bring slaves back to the continent.

The royals don’t have bank accounts or given any cash so how it would be the firm who are the slave masters of the royals watch Harry’s speech about it they are only allowed direct material items i suppose they can hand out their TVs and shirts off their backs? Do your research.
Nice idea though. If anything it should be the government but then it’s been so long now it’s like getting paid for someone running over your dog it’s not really the same as it never happening in the first place but smart fascism and racism is bigger than ever. And it always stems from the top down never the other way around.

in short their finances are
assets: around 1 billion
income from property: 20 million pounds every year
income from each of our pockets: 80 million pounds every year
reckon they can afford something here and still live it up like they like to.

Last comment on this subject from me;) humans are almost clones of each other. For example to apes are always more genetically different than any two humans and they basically do the same in life due to most being born in to similar situations. So it’s very easy to judge people for their mistakes, when if born in the same situation, we may do very similar things. It’s very easy to say how wrong things were and are from the we have everything we need perspective that we look from nowadays in developed countries anyway. Using others for your own gain is wrong imo but if you were born into the Royal family, ask yourself, how vocal about reparations would you be? Peace
I'd be vocal, at least it would be an alternative to the monotoous life of bullshit I'd otherwise be living.
…
It wasn’t wrong then though. Say for example your family got wealthy through shares and that got made illegal in the future. Would you say “oh I can’t believe how immoral my family were” and donate all their money to charity and have em out on the street?
Should Italy pay France for using their land for 300 years and killing half the country back in Roman times? Remember you only have the right to be how you are now because your ancestors killing the previous inhabitants and took their land. Are you looking to make reparations to their ancestors?
What I think is the royals should stop getting money from the people. They are basically bums with the best universal credit deal ever!

slavery was always wrong, it was cheap and easy and the other guy was doing it but anyone with a conscience is hard wired to know stealing people in chains and imprisoning them for life isnt ok.
Slavery still exists , it’s just changed name to employee. If you are working, it’s for shareholders benefit,
The means of exchange for employment is money. The means of exchange for slavery is the threat of violence. Most humans can see a big difference in this.
uh yeah i think its a little different if you're getting paid for your work and have a choice of employers. different than being kidnapped or bred into a life of hard labour.
this, what we are forced to live, is not slavery as on a cotton plantation, but it still is slavery. best proof is the "distribution of wealth". its just a different kind of slavery. where we are our own slave-drivers haha. it is essentially feudalism and it is becoming digital more and more.
feudalism is very different to slavery, some of our ancestors had the pluck to get out of it and become tradesmen, artisans, even adventurers. today a lot of people are born into fucked circumstance but many more have education and at least a shot.
a slaves life (if they made the journey which murdered a majority of them) was *nothing* like this.

You're not forced to work for someone else. It's your choice and the easy option. There's nothing to stop you starting you own business except gumption and effort.
I won’t write a response because it would take a lot of writing for you to see the similarities. Just ask yourself though. How much of your life is for you? Why did you get sent to school? Can you roam about freely? How many of us are stuck in a job , just so we can pay the bills? Who is benefiting from your consumption? Are you doing what you want to be doing or are you enriching someone else’s life by working hard? What does that sound like? Peace;)
it sounds nothing like moral equivalence, not by orders of magnitude. it also sounds like a response, just a very weak one.
Well I hope you eventually find some level of peace and a way to deal with the reality of life now and our shared history for your future sanity;) take care
Not really. I mean it , truly. Why haven’t I downvoted a single post of yours? Because I feel for your tormented minds
Tribal elders fought and captured other tribe members and sold them to Europeans its still practiced today so go point the finger straight back and ask them
"It wasn’t wrong then though." Cue modern day comparison. You are so uninformed it's actually a bit sad but more proper cringe tbh.
Yes I am the sad one. I’m not the one whining about how wealthy others have been 100’s and thousands of years ago by following the laws of their time. Whining about others is just a deflection from your own faults;) try thinking about what you can do now to make the world a better place, not whining about history. Also now the black people who are descendants of slaves don’t seem to want to go back to live in the country of their genetic heritage, right? I wonder why;)
Who's been whining? Me (no) or some other or every single Black person? And why on earth would some random U.S/U.K Black dude "want to go back to live in the country of their genetic heritage". What planet are you living in? A very white one, I imagine.
Only because my grandparents had to flee out of their country due to they would of been killed . Also stripped of their lands / money and I am not asking for reparations from anyone. Just saying
Right. And so do you want to "go back to live in the country of YOUR genetic heritage"? Or do you think that question doesn't apply bc you're White? I think that's the road you're going down here, isn't it? Assuming it's WWII, there's really no Nazi's left for you to claim reparations from, is there? If your Grandparents are from the middle east, then reparations are for the regime of that time and place whether current or not. BTW I think any Black person claiming reparations is an attention seeking fool, usually found on the end of a megaphone dictating the new world order to a bunch of (majority) white middle class uni students basically out on a day-trip with banners like "white privilege is real" and "eggs are a chickens period!".
You can see through the bullshit w/o being bias. Just saying

Straight out the gate. Chill, Raj, or your banner with all its bullet points of what White Privilege is may get damaged. Simply put, because I'm White, have grown up with Black friends with more advantages and privileges than me. I've lived in council estates all over the UK, some of which I'm the minority. The only ppl that seem to scream white privilege are Americans and UK white middle-upper class angry women, who are without a shadow of a doubt; PRIVILEGED. Same colour as me, but worlds apart. It's that simple. Don't try and tell me I've had more advantages and not used them, w/o knowing the first thing about me - just that I'm white and therefore privileged? Is that the sum of the profiling, Raj?
" just that I'm white and therefore privileged? Is that the sum of the profiling"
Yes. That's what white privilege means.
We don't need to know anything about you, all other things being equal, you're better off than your black neighbour.
Yes. That's what white privilege means.

"We don't need to know anything about you". Who is "we" on this occasion? Just so I'm on the same page..
Well there's some irony spelled out and still not clicking. Figures. Lovely bit of sanctimony btw, PieBoi. Props.
Sanctimony? Irony?
I'm not making a judgement, I'm explaining what's meant by the term.
White Privilege does not mean the least privileged white person is still better off than every black person, which is what you're railing against.
It means wherever you are and whatever you're doing, a black person in the same position has fewer opportunities than a white person.
A white doctor gets paid more than a black one.
A white police officer has more opportunities for promotion than a black one. That kind of thing.

You sound like the kind of person that really over emphasises the "awwww THANK YOU" whenever you buy anything from a bus ticket to a house off anyone Black.
Your quote is pretty much the banner I mentioned above (when everything you've described is pay disparities within 2 industries that by-and-large have Black top-dogs, just like Obama). Look I'm bored of this I feel like you look like a really angry Velma Dinkley at this point no offence. Bye.

Haha I’ve been called a lot of things in my life, but never that.
You misunderstood me, I hate this moderation of language as much as you do.
I’d much rather racists are allowed to be as clear as you are, then we all know where we stand.
Peace be upon you.

"I’d much rather racists/then we know where we stand". I hope you're not including me in that. I'm currently the only white dude in a house of 5 so that's me homeless. But I know my views are of my own. I have a Chinese boss and White people wince when I do a perfect impression of him. That's me. No malice or hate. You raised some valid points and I'm digging my heels in. Props for taking the digs on the chin. Peace.
It's about being honest and checking yourself. I would like to add my thoughts on UK (not US!) white privilege are pretty much summed up here by Kemi Badenoch. It used to be called a "pond" (Atlantic), but since social media breaking borders it hardly feels that anymore. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vf7yX9ESRc
you just said white privilege is real in other classes.
don't doubt you get a pass when class distinctions are bigger than race.

You've reached new levels of dumb digging for the ever elusive reasons you're not smart enough to be a dentist. Honestly I think it's kinds cool.

fair enough and i would probably feel the same from that perspective but what you are missing is the punitive damages aspect of the liability.

What is post-humanism?
and we think identity politics is bad now
+ 2 more
Essentially, it's what humanity would become once a critical level of technological progress has been made, beyond which we can no longer be considered entirely "human."
It doesn't mean a world with no humans, it means a change in definition of what a human is.
It doesn't mean a world with no humans, it means a change in definition of what a human is.
There's a 1989 Japanese horror film called Tetsuo that ties in with this description. It's about a chap who starts grafting pieces of metal onto his body. Freaky fucked-up stuff.
It's a bit vague if you ask me because it means *everything* that comes after us: AI, cyborgs, augmented humans and god knows what else. I prefer "trans-humanism" which implies people transcending the human body.
Post Humanism means information tech based evolution whereas transhumanism means the "everything"
If an individual has a cranial implant to reduce epileptic fits, have they entered a Post Humanist phase?
That's a lot like the question "When is the Singularity?" the moment that artificial intelligence passes humans'. A lot of people laughed at Kurzweil's predictions for this happening in the 2020s, but with all the progress in the last year and the exponential curve this is following he might be right.
It might be easier to say its coming than it's here. If you work as an uber driver or a stock trader you are already taking orders from an a.i. entity much smarter than you.
Post humanism hahah... maybe parasitism? As a species we are already doing it.
Btw. Im down only for analogue transhumanism in any case.
Btw. Im down only for analogue transhumanism in any case.
In essence it is man being puppeted by Satan into trying to eradicate God. To replace God with a counterfeit. It is the attempt at justifying what was done in the Garden of Eden and fulfilling Satans promise that 'ye will be as Gods'.
I would argue we are already in a post-humanist world, and have been for some time, with the evolution of media, pointedly the internet, on group mentality, opinion and aligning of thought. All through intense, persistent and unrelenting social pressure, various political propagandas and essentially, marketing.
The coagulation of collective conscious intentions via the internet, dispersing opinion, values and philosophies, dispenses of the opinion forming skills of those exposed to it more and more as generations turn over. This has happened in stages since the introduction of the web and I believe can be prevalently seen in the west. In particular, in political states which lean more towards capitalism, as this effectively 'supercharges' the evolution of these mass influences.
We as humans are physically not really evolving any more, Darwinism isn't exactly hitting the spot for us, take a walk through any small town centre and I'm sure you'll find it hard to disagree (We do still hold the record as the best long distance land animal though if I'm not mistaken). We do however evolve behaviourally at an astronomical scale when compared to other species.
Whether the invocation of an effective 'hive mind' on our selves causes us to enter a state of 'post' humanism is open to debate of course, but i think on the Richter scale of change it scores rather high.
Much like me, I am also very high.

this could have the alternative effect of causing drag on the solar stream and switch off planetary turn.
You're right. Arthur C. Clarke touted the idea in one of the 2001 series. There's absolutely no reason that space elevators wouldn't work like a charm, once we have the knowhow and the engineering smarts to construct such an undertaking.
For those sceptics, it was also old Arty C who came up with the idea of geostationary orbits. Without him, the world would be a less well connected place. :-)

I'm so up for this. Always liked the idea of space travel but was put off by fear of the rockets bursting into flames. Getting an elevator up to a space station seems much more civilized. Hopefully there will be synth music and nice views on the way up.
Would cost to much to go nowhere + the size of the bottom would be colossal in size so it would require a vast amount of resources which humanity does not have. SpaceX is going in the right direction.

Just diving in because it's a music thread and I'm crazy about music. That said I love all kinds from blues to classical, from jazz to opera, and of course hard rock, synth, pop, soul and everything else - apart from rap. The one music genre that does absolutely nothing for me. Bought the 12" of "The Message" by Grandmaster Flash when it was released and still have it. And that's pretty much where it started and then ended for me...apart from the Fugees doing "Killing Me Softly", but that's all about Lauryn Hill, which is another story.

has anyone done a comparison of lb sellers gear in a vid, i would love to see that
challenges would be a great thing around here. i saw someone once ordered from every seller at the same time and ranked the delivery speed.
Someone did it a few years ago, I don’t think they’re active anymore but they would post a drop box link and it would be a video of them showing off the bud and talking about it, they’d even get the magnifying glass out.
It's a great idea. Basically get paid in smoke to show off the best of what LB has to offer.
I think a tip jar of some kind would be in order too.

Created a second account to do reviews and shit on, used to do a lot of reviews on darkweb and legit stuff for music and video games.
Done a review or two on my own account RedeyeJedi25 but will keep them here for now.
Open to any ideas, feedback, tell me Im just a cheeky bastard trying my luck on samples 😂

I'm up for doing this once Im back off holiday but I feel like it should be a private video as mentioning LB on a public platform is probably not the wisest idea unless we want brigading
Im trying to create this as a review account if I can, hopefully people have seen my personal account commenting enough, and with 15 ish buys they know I'm not trying to tske the piss 😂
It was very popular, lots of votes and comments etc. There’s definitely ‘a gap in the market’ for a video reviewer.
I’ve always fancied putting a podcast out talking to buyers and vendors but it just doesn’t seem feasible…

y'all suck:
lens protocol - nothing but errors trying to connect zerion (wallet they pushed while hiding metamask) or metamask (don't even know how i found it). restart 10th time, got on then they say join the waitlist and (literally) "good luck".
orb - not even the one that gives you coin for your humanity, just a web3 "super app". super meaning connect your wallet and then get stuck on a page asking - wait for it - "do you have a lens profile". there isn't even a button to answer let alone tell them where in their previous fetal home they can go and find it.
if this is the cool crowd im going to sit with zuck at lunch time.

Status messenger has a great one in this regard: they force a dumb username on you, same with converse. And if you want to talk to someone else on the platform you cant reach them by that name.
lens protocol enables so many of web3 projects and basically just shuts them down by not working.

long term effects you've experienced from cannabis?
have you been been re-wired? i know i think much more openly than as a padawon and my control group of friends/haters is the opposite.
I have a few side affects
Intolerance to people's BS
An overwhelming desire to do fuck all
A lack of dreams (mine were crushed years ago anyway)
An unexplainable hatred of Ed Sheeran
And I have also found I still have the purile humour of a school boy
Otherwise I'm fine

True but my hatred goes beyond rational, to the point that half of my life is dedicated to plotting various methods of his demise. My favourite would be to not actually kill him but plant some kiddy porn on his PC, ruin him proper, Glitter styley
Long term use has a deleterious effect on my short term memory and cognitive function (although it seems to stabilise a few months in). I can mitigate some of those losses by taking CBD before bed, but it sucks because it also kills your buzz.
Also, not sure this is a side effect or a benefit, but I often have moments of insight and clarity while high. Things I'll bury away, procrastinate over, or stuff that simply exists in my subconscious will come to the fore. In some people that triggers paranoia and anxiety, but for me it's a catalyst to grab a pen and record my inner monologue.
That said, I'm due a huge break (starting March), as I have some writing jobs to do and I need to learn to drive because my mum is chronically ill.
Time to sharpen the old pencil for a few months and then blunt it in the summer.🤩

Sweet I write at least 3x stoned with 10x moments. Yes there are - 3x times as well but they have disappeared with experience. Like my memory :)
Paragraph 2! Spot on. During a paragraph 2 moment, i decided to report my manager to the Regulatory Authority for our industry. Which I then did.
Weight gain. All strains manage to give me the munchies, and my self-control flies out the window. I can plow through a block of Soreen in under five minutes - I shit you not!
Yep I've deffo got the weight gain going on. Currently "trying" to diet 🙃 now wheres them choccy bickies 🤣
I feel you. Think the only buds that never made me ravenous were Durban Poison and Blue Dream
It's the tastiest, lowest-fat snack I've found so far. Four green and one orange on the health traffic lights. I wish I could trade it for Dairy Milk, but that's when the serious poundage appears.
Haha why would anyone lie about that? The 'Honestly' was superfluous.
I know exactly what you mean though 😅
I know exactly what you mean though 😅
The only real negative effect for me is short term memory loss, which the pros massively outweight the cons.
I have Asperger's but smoking weed helps massively, my thoughts tend to race but with weed it slows everything down, I can focus on one thing.
This is huge for me because the racing thoughts leas to anxiety as I'm trying to think of too much too quickly and a lot small, simple problems combine and it feels overwhelming. Not with weed though.
For some reason it seems to "fix" that part of my brain. And it actually allows me to be content with existence.

One long term effect is a better sex life, makes you harder, last longer ,feel more and is definitely an aphrodisiac;)
TLDR: short term memory loss, apathy yet decisiveness, psychological expansion, hope.
Introduced back in the 90s in college, along with other recs 💊 as part of the London clubbing scene.
Lots of commercial hash about at the time which was demotivating in hindsight.
The weed mostly skunk and I remember fondly the laughs had, and epiphanies too.
I was a late teenager and combined with hallucinogens and later spiritual practices had some kind of brain rewiring that was terrifying and awe inspiring.
I’d quit for nearly 20 years before trying again about 4 year ago but that grew and I’ve been consuming and experimenting daily since lockdown. I even grew my own - 3 solo cups of StarDawg, Black Hulk and Easy Bud. Well proud!
I’ve always been sensitive and having a more psychedelic experience wasn’t uncommon. Even on tiny one hitters and I had a year of not only having a tiny tolerance but intense highs that were mostly bringing my subconscious to the surface and tbh all hell broke loose in all areas of my life. Like psychedelics, if you are of the persuasion to be interested in the big questions or have a past that’s traumatic, then it’s going to make you face it and give you the stark reality of the human experience.
I’ve been able to work through it but I fear for the masses who are embarking on their inner journeys unprepared. Not my circus but I have a heart and an understanding that the truths revealed can be devastating to the mind as well as freeing, perhaps providing the liminal space for humans to evolve that’s drowned out by this materialistic and oppressive world.
I love being high. It’s addicting for me. The escape. The creativity and ability to think and pose multi-angled concepts is simply exhilarating and I believe can help solve some of our most challenging problems globally, and locally in our families - my wife hates it but prefers me on it for example. Her hate is ignorance mind.
I’ve realised that for me, daily is more about tolerance, habit and escape. It’s our choice but you have to live with the costs and as someone said, the weeks and years go by and one can be happy with just taking life in… philosophically, I do have issues with this so I’m looking to be more ritualistic and purposeful with it as well as have moments when just to enjoy and experiment.
I’ve been shocked by the tolerance build up which really became noticeable after I found LB 🤣 seems a waste as I found in the last 2 months that the high doesn’t hit as hard or as long and that sucks ‘cause you feel like you’re chasing the buzz but it’s not, it’s the escape for me, but I’m aware of it, and I’m in control.

I’ve been shocked by the tolerance build up which really became noticeable after I found LB 🤣 seems a waste as I found in the last 2 months that the high doesn’t hit as hard or as long and that sucks ‘cause you feel like you’re chasing the buzz but it’s not, it’s the escape for me, but I’m aware of it, and I’m in control.
also started using cannabis again in lockdown after about 20 years.... looking out the windows high AF thinking fuck this shit was true enlightenment lol
Yeah, weed makes me super withdrawn if I let myself smoke all the time, it's ended relationships and has brought my current one to the brink, Im trying therapy and smoking less indica during the day.
Used to get globus sensation from high thc bud but thats gone these days.

“Globus sensation” thanks 🙏🏾
I also get this reaction from time to time and it coincides when I feel the weed is strong.
Also have other strange sensations which my anxiety labels as dangerous so my fight or flight kicks in.
I’ve learned that this is more about past sh*t being brought into the now and these effects of the body are just responses.
The challenge is to ride it out and then I find the experience is smoother ✌🏽

Once you know what’s really in your head it becomes easy. Bud makes you really understand, helps you get deep into your thoughts. It’s like a light bulb moment when you wake. Takes alot of work but we keep on tokin 😁
I have ADHD, without it my brain is like bag of snakes, every direction at once.
Even with it i struggle sometimes but its more like that glowy ball thing Will 'The Slap' Smith releases in Men in Black that caused the 1977 New York blackout.
Theres a squirrel on the balcony gotta go...

Peace. Freedom from 90% of my physical pain. Inflamation reduction & much more. Those are long term, 50 years, it builds up.
Great question.
I'm over 50, in gainful employment, reasonably fit and slim but an unhealthy diet for balance. Vape daily up to 0.4g but usually 0.2g max. Anyhoo, about 2g max a week but I'm using less strong flower just now, with better gear, I'd be using a lot less. Don't drink alcohol at all.
I too find incredible moments of clarity, especially after a hard day.
Vaping means i dehydrate a lot quicker and need to drink more water. I'd say my balance is less than 100% probably due to residual effects if anything. Overall I'm doing ok. The knowledge i have gained over the years and still need is not yet affected by daily use. Possibly a good barometer for things.

After ~15 years of heavy use daily I've got short/long term memory loss but I used to take other drugs so I'm not sure. I've got a neuralogical disability and weed helps keep me out of a wheelchair ect. The desire to be alone is because of choosy beggars not weed. Also I'm a huge man baby, also unrelated (maybe).
As with everything, moderation is key, as a habitual smoker, smoking daily for many years through pipe or bong, minimal use of tobacco, I am unsure whether its caused or calmed my temper.
The mental addiction is apparent whenever I try to detox or take a break i.e, low mood, depressive thoughts, lack of appetite (physical?)
It's all perspective and a lack of dopamine production so I am aware of my low mood when I feel it but can be hard to pull away from without distraction, it comes to pass after a few days, though the mood swings and negativity have already done their damage.
I think I have developed a bit of a dependency on it, the only solution is a long break.
I have a total love/hate relationship with the plant but right now it keeps me calm, very calm.

Long term for me personally it's had negative effects on a huge scale. I am day 4 off weed and feel so happier. I have seen lots same similar. I am dreaming again. Gym and Swimming. Weed really kept and held me back all my life.
Similar to psychedelics, it brings anything I’m avoiding or ignoring to bare. Which can lead to both productive and counterproductive action. Overall I think it helps expand consciousness if you’re willing, appreciate nature and the fact you are part of it. Not something that’s alien and just here by fluke. Sometimes I think it activates something that throws subliminal tests at you. For instance with the munchies, I know not to eat veggie oils, colourants, refined sugar and anything processed/ not organic. But when stoned to the bone that bag of haribo or sitting doing nothing sure does appeal. if I cave and do the above, the next day I’m almost ashamed I let the gremlin win. But if I push through eat some fruit and go climb that mountain, I feel instantly fulfilled. I know this may be abit nonsensical but I’ve been sober this week😂
My short term memory isn’t what is used to be, and my short term memory isn’t that good either.
This is probably an old thread, but it’s been an interesting read. I relate to most of the comments.
I have to say I’m pretty sure my memory has been adversely affected, but it’s almost impossible to say for sure right? There’s loads of factors.
But, the benefits are pretty substantial like. The shift in perspective was huge for me, I think it’s why conspiracy guys are often stoners - there is a sense of enlightenment at times, as wanky as that sounds.
There’s something communal about smoking as well I think, and I think it tends to make people generally more community minded, nature friendly and left leaning. Could just be a correlation or whatever but it’s pretty cool imo.
Support your local lollipop man and save the whales.

How To Control Guns
homie if there is a paternity suit here it's getting served in london
How To Control Guns
To effect gun control leaders already controlling guns simply need to set an example.
Simply replace dumb offensive weapons with intelligent defensive ones.
Attackers can be disabled with sound, electrical impulse (a laser to the eyeball goes a long way), gas, anything but hot lead is relative progress.
A huge industry is waiting once this direction is set and it’s a rare example where a leader can set something so important in motion. A police force equipped with such weapons would not only save lives it would restore confidence, replacing fear with respect.
Like any old technology guns will inevitably become obsolete, outmaneuvered by weapons that save lives. Even in the worst case the result is a technological arms race, with one side committed to protection - an outcome far better than shoot outs and more deaths every day, most often at the hands of those intending to uphold a form of peace.

Guns are not the problem, they never have been. Why not start laying the blame where it belongs, with the people using a gun to kill and injure other people. A gun doesn’t kill or injure anybody unless a human being is pulling the trigger. Of course, the left wants you to believe everything would be flowers and sunshine if we only got rid of the mean, evil guns. You’re right about one thing, control. People are a lot easier to control if they can’t defend themselves. Of course that kind of logic is taboo for the left. Fear mongering and race baiting are the left’s weapons of choice. The left are the biggest racists on the planet. People forget that if not for the right, the civil rights act never would have made it to Johnson’s desk to sign into law. Who was opposed to it, most of the Democrats. There were active members of the KKK in congress and they were Democrats. Am l saying there are no racists on the right. Of course l am not, but the left would have you believe their shit doesn’t stink. It’s just sad that such a large group of people are fooled by their bullshit.
Humans aren't equipped physically or emotionally to comprehend the speed at which a gun can take a life and devastate the lives of *all* those involved.
It's not about left or right. It isn't about racist or not racist. It's about the value of human life and the callous destruction of it.
It's not about left or right. It isn't about racist or not racist. It's about the value of human life and the callous destruction of it.
You are partially correct; Guns are not the problem…..the bullets are. It’s bullets that kill. Let the loons have/keep their guns. Just get rid of the ammo (not easy I know, but spring it on the population in a surprise move and watch the killings drop).
There have been attempts to make guns smarter. It seems they have been stymied by legislators that tried to make them mandatory before they even got on the market. Then the NRA got busy.
Because it's the only reason we still have a democracy. The country's fore fathers knew this. That's why they put it in the constitution. Fuck the living document bullshit. If you think things would be so great without guns, take a look at what's happened in the past. Stalin killed more of his own people than were killed during the Second World War. The only reason he was able to it was by disarming the population first. Same story with China and Cambodia. Chairman Mao loved committing genocide, to the tune of 40 million. Pol Pot did away with 2 million. What is the common denominator? One and all disarmed. If you think things would be so great if we think past guns, instead of looking at what happened when the people were disarmed. You need to look backwards, or better yet, go talk to some of those people. Oh wait, you can't. Dead men, women and children tell no tales.
A few bad actors don't prove your point. Look at Europe, the home of democracy. We don't have guns, our democracy is less under threat than in the states, we don't live in fear in our homes, we rarely have police shootings and we don't have countless gun crimes day in day out.
If there were no guns, how would the history of China, Cambodia, Russia, the US and countless others be different?
Non violence is the future.

Yes, defense against government was the reason and made plenty of sense when the tech was there in the 18th century. But do you think an armed citizenry has even a tiny chance against the American military now? If so let me know who you buy from here cause I want some of that shit :)
They said the same thing about North Vietnam. Look at how that turned out. The same thing is happening right now in Afghanistan. If you’re fighting for something you believe in, anything is possible. You talked about the revolutionary war. It was the same situation. Our fore fathers believed their cause was just so they took up arms and went to war against the most powerful nation in the world at that time. We didn’t even have a standing professional army, yet we won our freedom when nobody would have thought we had any chance of defeating our foes. You also have to take into account if the army would go to war against the people who they swore to protect. If the order is given, l really doubt they would kill their fellow Americans.
Remember who was backing the 13 Colonies,,,, France and the French Army..... out of the goodness of their French hearts ? Your forefathers had the Catholic Spanish to the south, The Catholic French to the North. As Puritans, your forefathers would have taken up arms against their own shadows during those dangerous times. Today is not comparable to then,,, Your Bill of Rights is so outdated. Hence you have such terrible gun problems. My opinion and not a rant,,, Love to all x
It’s expensive. $500 for a grenade. Things like stingers are in the hundreds of thousands dollars range. It’s possible to get anything you want, even tactical nukes are on the table as well. I thought it was bullshit till l saw one. That’s right boys and girls, there are rogue nukes on American soil. You’re talking 10’s of millions of dollars for one of them After seeing it l thought someone would kill me for that very reason. I try to avoid thinking about it otherwise l’ll go off the deep end.
Where is that the money maid by the Police, lawyers, Medical industries, air ambulance is what $4K a trip?
Why don’t you take another English grammar course. My 4 year old niece speaks and writes english better than yourself.
No If Everybody had to ware a gun and soon the dumbest and t, most unrespectful humans will not pass there unwanted gene's on as many as they now do
I am wrong. You’re the end result of inbreeding, that’s the only way to explain why you’re this stupid.
You know you are right the only catch is that the dumbest are little children
…
Normally, l would respond to your pseudo, new age crap with logic and facts, but there's no point in wasting my time. I'm sure it would send you running to your safe space. Do everybody a favor and stay there. I'll hang on to my arsenal and sleep soundly knowing whoever makes the mistake of confronting me won't be around to do it to someone else.

Best VPN?
Hi Guys,
I'm just in the process of renewing my VPN. I've been using PureVPN for the past few years and don't have any complaints, but are there better options out there?
I've been reading a few forums and apparently NordVPN seems to be a popular choice, and is a bit cheaper than Pure.
If anyone uses Nord, is it worth upgrading from the basic package?
I use Apple computers and Android phones (in case that makes any difference).
I'm not particularly good with technology so a simple app/software would be preferable.
Thanks for your help, much appreciated.
Cheers. BB

Hi Bud
Nord should be fine for buyers but we strongly recommend avoiding it as a vendor, they have in their terms and conditions they will comply with law enforcement should it be required. This isn't specific to Nord alot of the big VPN companies do this
ExpressVPN is good and they do not comply with law enforcement, if ExpressVPN are forced to provide information they simply don't save any records in the first place so they have nothing to hand over. Even if a subpoena is issued they have nothing to give as no records are kept to begin with

Thanks for this, i had no idea! Really defeats the object of "anonymity" if they are potentially giving your details to the old bill...
I'll check out ExpressVPN.
Thanks again buddy.

They all share the info/ data meta data - despite what you all believe. Need some come with more advanced methods to be fully secure. Vendors have left them self wide open on here on every angle/level.
Hey, BB. Would steer clear of NordVPN as they are known grassers and will give your info to LE.
I currently use Mullvad VPN as they have it in writing their service has a "no logs policy" which means data isn't kept.
You can pay for it with Bitcoin and Monero which renders it essentially anonymous (if you use Monero) and if you're looking for something the OPSEC conscious vendor would use, this is it.
1 month is a 5 EUR flat rate fee. 5 devices fit on 1 subscription.

I second MULLVAD. Great VPN, no lag or dropout. You can also refresh you’re connection without disconnecting. £5 a month payable with BTC. Don’t even need an email address. Limited servers but works well. Based in Sweden I think.
Excellent information buddy thanks so much.
As i said to Gassed i had no idea this was the case. Looks like i might have been using a potentially incriminating VPN for the last 3 years! Oh well, you live and learn...
Thanks again, i'll look into Mullvad now.

Tor itself is pretty safe if your using the safest configuration.
Using a Virtual Machine, a bridge or a trusted and log free VPN may further increase security against specific threats if you know what your doing.
If you don't know what your doing, a VPN can sometimes even decrease your security.
A lot of VPN companies claim they don't keep logs. It's hard to be 100% certain which of them conform to that.
I personally use ProtonVPN, based in Switzerland, open source, can pay with Monero.

Looks like I'm not hidden from the wall or totally blocked from commenting now.
I wanted to clarify what happened, every review I did was not in exchange for the product or benefits, several vendors here could attest to that fact, I specifically said I do not exchange products for review in messages loads of times.
I messed up once by saying yes when I was frustrated by outside factors and some comments on my last review. Funnily enough I never got to post the review here anyways, so all the review still up are 100% genuine.
If I ever post anything here in the future I will attach a redacted image of the purchase.
I'm sorry.

Haha sorry Polly, I accepted a product in exchange for a review, what the admins call an "Incentivised post".
I do think a total ban for 1 instance of rule breaking is very harsh, but the admins of this site seem to know what they are doing so not my place to tell them how to do their jobs eh.

Jeez….well considering there was a great long post recently from a bigga reviewing 12 freebies all at the same time that were sent purely to get reviewed you were pretty hard done by! 😖 Especially as he got right out of his pram at the slightest suggestion that a dozen at a time might be a tad excessive! 🙄😝…did you see that topic?
What the actual fuck? I know other people on here are taking free shit for reviews, vendors have specifically told me so. Yet I'm the one that gets banned. I think it's because BBDoom is popular with admins myself and he didn't like me calling him a cunt when he was being a cunt. Not my fault the truth hurts, I just call a spade a spade
Here you go mate, it’s quite a read:

Well, it takes 2 to argue, so if any argument is the reason for any action surely the other party in the argument would have had some action against them too?
Or maybe I'm right and BBDoom has some sort of link with the admins. I'm pretty sure he's doing incentivised posts too, nobody has posted about those particular carts more than him, and more so since I rated them 7/10.
Lots of very dodgy behaviour going on here, might be worth my time to just close my accounts and not involve myself in childish shadow dealings where you have no idea what the actual rules are.
Thanks for the info as always man!

Yeah just doesn't make sense to me how this Alleyne person can post numerous incentivized reviews and walk Scot Free but you got banned for posting a single one?
Just make a fresh account and continue posting reviews there.
As far as I'm concerned your reviews are very useful to people and no one here holds a grudge against you.
I wish you luck and prosperity friend!

Based on those rules Alleyne should be banned on several counts including abusive posts!...I don't want to see anybody even sin-binned (well, maybe just for a bit hehe!) but the enforcement is so inconsistent...
Missed you mate. You were one of the prime drivers for me to buy stuff I hadn't tried when I first signed up, as your tastes and mine seemed to have lots of crossovers.
If I bought something a reviewer mentioned that sounded great and I didn't have the same effects as them I'd just assume our tastes weren't the same, however the product was obtained. Or they were a shill, maybe, reading some comments about reviews recently. 🤷🏻♂️

When I was accused of bias I thought fuck it take a free product, leave a review and then stop reviewing but that was extremely pigheaded and short sighted as I understand now. Broke my own golden rule lol
Also the cart I didn't like broke and stopped working before I had even used half of it. It's almost like my review was accurate lol

You can just post some new stuff and I'll have a read and buy it when it sounds epic, if that's any help? No doubt others will too.

I cant comment on anything but my profile and I can only reply here too. Gunna wait a little bit and see if my commenting gets restored fully, if so I will start reviewing again. Otherwise I will probably just leave it, I've moved to buying IRL anyways so I may just leave LB behind if that's how it plays out.
Welcome back man.
Was wondering where you went and yea that was a lengthy post as you read.
I watched this the other night. I not sure if this is the best place but what he’s talking about is different but the principle is the same.

did world war 2 merely stall an inevitable trend of fascism?
fascism is later stage communism, institutionalized corruption.
When I 1st read this topic I thought it was silly but now Im reading it the New York Times
And what does that tell you about the New York Times? That it's lying about Trump? Or is it just trying to mislead its readers by implying stuff that it has no evidence of... Do the same examination of other rumor-spreading fake news organizations and make your own determination, folks. See which ones allow readers to comment on their "stories" and articles. See which ones never present both sides of an argument. Decide which ones can be relied upon for actual news (all of it) and which ones actually suppress news.
There is no news that can be relied upon this is why the reader needs to take in multiple sources and viewpoints.
i think its a really mega trend. fascism was a reaction to kingdoms turning into modern nations. this time populism is a result of modern nations turning into global pieces.
Yes and there's the industrial revolution and digital revolutions as waves underneath these.
Even Eisenhower, the General who defeated fascism saw what would happen. He became the President of the US and devoted his farewell speech to a warning of the future he correctly saw.
Forget Ike, Benjamin Franklin saw what would happen after helping write the constitution. He saw it as a temporary document that would require re-writing.
"it is likely to be well administered for a course of years, and can only end in Despotism"
As if it to prove the words they have been suppressed since he wrote them.

Its Franklin's Final Speach On The Constitution. What a guy, should be an inspiration for every bigga.
Only Franklin never said that the Constitution would "require" re-writing (or anything else, for that matter). Nor did he even imply that it was "temporary". His comment only reflected the fact that this was a unique, first-ever document of its type and he wasn't sure that it wouldn't eventually end in despotism due to corruption. None of the framers "knew" what the future would bring, only that what they had made was the most perfect constitution ever made. Not "perfect" (although it may be), just "close to perfect".
World War I was a fascist nightmare in the United States with Wilson and his cronies using it to attack all of their domestic enemies: African Americans, organized labor and immigrants. It was all documented by the media and no one cared. Helped us get where we are today as much as anything.
That's what happened in 2016, and it's a good beginning. More people are finding out that they've been lied to, and the liars are in full panic mode at this point.
First thing to do is find out what "fascism" is. Most people are clueless about that. One excellent example of a fascist organization is Antifa (what an ironic name). Their goal is to shut down opposing ideas by force, and that's what fascist governments do (again, look up the word in the fucking dictionary). If you're going to accuse someone of being fascist, you need to show examples of fascist behavior. Guess who I'm vaguely referring to here...
Oxford Reference definition:
"An authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization.
The term Fascism was first used of the totalitarian right-wing nationalist regime of Mussolini in Italy (1922–43), and the regimes of the Nazis in Germany and Franco in Spain were also Fascist. Fascism tends to include a belief in the supremacy of one national or ethnic group, a contempt for democracy, an insistence on obedience to a powerful leader, and a strong demagogic approach."

Some people wouldn’t know Communism if it locked them down in their homes, forced them to wear a mask and coerced them into an experimental medical procedure
…
ok throw in a little racism and hate where the communist idealism and naivete is and you're there.
Show your working (prove it)
Btw Fascism was defeated in UK and in WWII it was defeated in Italy along with National Socialism in Germany. There is nothing Fascist about our world. The Communists and Capitalists (same thing) won WWII and they are in control.

…
Oh dear, what a snowflake you are. The fact remains, nobody here has a clue about what Fascism is. This is how the Communists are winning, duh
Here is another definition of fascism, this one from Merriam-Webster dictionary.
"1) A political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.
2) a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control."
The antidote to Fascism is Democracy.

Democracy, LMAO. If you control the media, you can get the public to vote anyway you like. What was democratic about the Iraq War, or the bombing of Syria?
There are many parallels between the definitions. I'll break them down for you - national/racial-centric; autocratic; dictatorial; anti-democratic; demagogic.
Precisely. Democracy in the UK is flawed, at best for sure. Fascists know the first stage of seizing control of a nation is to take control of its media.
I'm unsure what you're trying to achieve on here - is it to rehabilitate the image of Fascism?
Perhaps you could explain to us what Fascism is.

I’ve already provided a link to a resource where anyone can learn what it is. I’m still learning myself. Please show me which Fascists have taken control of the media. (Don’t waste your time, because they haven’t)
How am I going to learn about a complex political/cultural/social ideology and its historical/contemporary implications through a series of disembodied quotes and sexed-up photos of famous fascists?
Grow up, stop trolling & read some fucking books.
Grow up, stop trolling & read some fucking books.
You misunderstand Camber - you're looking for a fight! I agreed with you, UK democracy is lacking. Historically, fascists took control of the media, to take control of a nation - see Germany, Italy & Spain.
I’m not looking for a fight at all. It seems like you don’t know who controls the media. In 1933 all Germany did was to take back control of the media, from the thieves who stole it.
The Jews? Come on man, you're better that, I'm sure of it. Stop getting stoned & researching pro-fascist groups - not a good combo. Get stoned & listen to Forever Changes!
"Everything I've seen needs rearranging,
And for anyone who thinks it's strange,

And for everyone who thinks that life is just a game,
Do you like the part you're playing?"

You smokers are beyond retarded. We even tell you what we're doing and still you defend us. Stupid goyim deserve everything you get
I'm not a Fascist, I'm Ashkenazi as you already know. However, to answer your question: they're not, Liberals are far more angry and reactionary. The reason being, they are double thinking, mental gymnasts who exist in a constant state of cognitive dissonance. You're just stupid, is all
You sound pretty angry. Memes peppered with exasperated insults. It must be wonderful to have worked everything out, and very frustrating that everyone can't join the dots and see the world as you do. I think I'd be pretty angry too. A raging omnipotent deity.
You're not supposed to work it out. Your opinion of me is irrelevant. You can't refute facts with opinions. Just about every Ashkenazi I know, has known this since childhood, apart from me who only found out relatively recently (I can't explain that anomaly) Come on, Twigs, you have the Internet. Btw, we own Google. You should brush up on the Talmud, LMAO. You can downvote this too, if it makes you feel better.
You now know that the MSM, Big Tech, Big Pharma and The Federal Reserve (to name a few) are not controlled by Fascists. I can research Fascism and listen to Forever Changes. If you don’t know what Fascism is, cool! But please stop pretending that you do. Have you read the Talmud? Did you know that this is Talmudic, are you even aware of it?
I'd suggest you can't be researching Fascism with any integrity. You're in complete denial of the basic definition of it.
Fascism is a pretty simple concept that a homogeneous group of people are stronger than the Communist alternative. Sit the fuck down, imbecile
And suppose I don't want to sit down and pledge allegiance to your homogenous group? What then?
Another definition? How many are there, I wonder. Words can mean whatever people want them to mean, can they? No, they can’t.
This thread is hilarious. Everyone thinks they know what Fascism is. Someone even thinks Antifa are Fascists. Clueless
…
Thomas Sewell. Does this mean everyone else’s definition of Fascism is correct? Btw anyone can be a National Socialist, it’s organic
Yeah, that was me. What's clueless is calling Conservatives fascist. Young heads full of mush lapping up propaganda from old Marxist professors and thinking it's the wisest shit since Moses are the ones fucking up the planet at the moment...
You seem to be really struggling with words Camber, so here's a definition of Communism for you: "The belief in a society without different social classes in which the methods of production are owned and controlled by all its members, and everyone works as much as they can and receives what they need, or a social and political system based on this belief." From Cambridge Dictionary.
LOL, they also changed the dictionary definition of 'vaccine' Do some more copying of definitions, instead of examining who the Communists are and what they've been doing, smdh 🙄
Dictionaries are a useful place to start, when a bunch of flailing stoners are chucking around words like 'fascist' and 'communist'.
I’m not struggling with words at all. I’m just not doing a ‘cut and paste’ and expecting other people to accept it. There’s a link above to a Fascism group on Gab. That’s the place to learn about Fascism. If you think they’re wrong, go and tell them.
twigs, you are a complete idiot 🤣 Why don't you read a book,
Churchill, Hitler, and "The Unnecessary War"
it's even on Amazon. Btw, I'm Ashkenazi and I learned about this over 20 years ago, so rejected my own people because of their evil. Bruno Baum was a distant relative of the wife and he told the truth. You are retarded. Smoke some more weed, you fool 🤣

I'm not a complete idiot - just anti-fascist to my last breath.
That Gab group has a lot of axes to grind, and seems aimed at recruiting teenagers. There are definite kernels of truth in the things you proclaim - always space to reexamine and reassess WW2. I'm sure lots of things taken for granted are mistaken - there's always room for further investigation and analysis. Following this poisonous exchange last summer, for the second, or third time in my life - went down a deep rabbit hole of holocaust investigation, reacquainting myself with the revisionist argument - it's ugly, and often end up feeling I'm listening or reading, not the work of historians, but politicians - who have a vested interest in revising our understanding of the Holocaust to further political objectives. But agree, that there are lots of questions - lots of things to think about.
However, it's the self-righteousness, the certitude, the venom, the under/overtones of racism, the complete denial of any racism that marks you lot (homogenous group) out as obnoxious, foolish, deluded, angry zealots (you won't like that word).

I just meant to say that I believe your fascination with fascist revisionism is an internet concocted, social media thing - and it doesn't deserve to be engaged with seriously.
The historic Fascist governments of the world are responsible for the murder of millions - Jews, Roma, Slavs, communists, socialists, Africans, artists, queer folk, people with disabilities, I could go on.
The latter day followers of Fascism are responsible for thousands of violent street attacks & murders.
Anyone who would seek to sanitise Fascism as some sort of benevolent universal human law (as your Snap-chat link proclaims), or present Fascism as misunderstood and misrepresented - is deserving of ridicule, at the very least.
I'm an exponent of the European antifa approach to Fascism. Fascism is a violent ideology. And Fascists only understand violence, and do not deserve to be engaged with intellectually.

Go to the group I posted above and post that shite, this isn’t the place for it. You are so ridiculously misinformed it actually hurts my head.
I've had a look at your group. It's sinister, revisionist, conspiratorial, paranoid. Fascist.
There is so much documentary evidence for the crimes I described above - you'd have to be a seriously blinkered "researcher" to ignore/deny.
There is so much documentary evidence for the crimes I described above - you'd have to be a seriously blinkered "researcher" to ignore/deny.
That group is...
Sinister - the memes reek of propaganda.
Revisionist - almost every accepted historical fact of the fascist governments of Mussolini & Hitler are attempted to be revised or denied - it seems to take the extreme position of completely denying the Holocaust, presenting it as a benevolent attempt to resettle the Jews of Europe.
Conspiratorial - it seems this group is arguing that the reason for the 'popular' conceptions of WW2 were a smoke-screen for a Zionist plot to establish the state of Israel and infiltrate and take over the world (ironically, this conspiracy predates WW2, and was a theory that was peddled by the Nazis, helping them to win power.)
Paranoid - Everything is seen through this lens of the "great Zionist conspiracy", so whether it's the Russian invasion of Ukraine, or the Covid-19 pandemic, or climate change - it all points to the terrifying spectre of Zionism.
Fascist - it's important to remember that this group is aiming itself at real-world political influence, despite it initially seeming to be a historical forum for discussion of the history of fascism. It aims to convert, to rehabilitate, to exhume Fascist ideals- including abhorrent concepts like 'homogenous groups' (whilst denying any racism).
Discuss.

Racism, ROFL, we destroyed your societies with that word. Racially homogeneous societies are more successful, which is why we won't allow you to have them. Every other country will have them, apart from you. See what we did to you? We brainwashed you into embracing your own genocide and we don't care how long it takes. Have a look at Savile Town UK. All of the UK will be the same, fool
hahaha you absolute fool. Do you or do you not know who Bruno Baum is? Racism, another one of our buzzwords that we have conditioned you to fear being called. Have you not heard of Loxism? Loxism is the only real racism. Every nation prefers their own people to outsiders, except White people who are currently committing cultural genocide because they watch our tv stations. We are literally destroying Europe right under your noses. "Islam is Israel's broom, you will have no place to run" Don't say you didn't know, because now you do know 😉
I think BrunoBaum might be Camber's new account - I'd be surprised if there is more than 1 swivel-eyed, fascist stoner in Albion. It is interesting to keep prodding you though, because you're slowly revealing how nasty you really are. Remember this began as a straightforward attempt to explain that Fascism is misunderstood, and had nothing to do with antisemitism. The irony that you're increasingly throwing around pejorative words such as "loxism", "judenpresse" "goyim" - is clearly lost on you.
My wife buys on LB, she uses RSO. I spent £1000s here. Even if I was a sock puppet, the facts still remain the same: You are a stupid goyim, we own you
Bullshit. If you think you can refute them, go in there and do it. You won’t because you can’t, you brainwashed muppet. I’ve had about 20 notifications over the last few days, all from you, ya freak. Did you actually just post a BBC documentary, are you on LSD? When you’re eating maggots in your pod, subject to the Chinese social credit score and only able to spend your allocated CBDC, just remember it was the Fascists who tried to stop them. Stupid goyim
They won't go in there and refute shit, because they can't. All they've got is what the judenpresse has programmed them to parrot. You're wasting your time with these fucktards, Camber, move on
You knuckle-dragging, racist thugs don't deserve any consideration. Learn how to read, think and discuss.
Ooh, name calling. Triggered, much. I'm not a thug, btw, unless you can demonstrate otherwise. You're not much of a man if you can't take a few insults thrown in with the facts. Ashkenazi hate you because you destroyed our 2nd Temple. We will now destroy you and rebuild it. I'm perfectly capable of thinking and discussing. I have facts on my side. You have tv programmes that we made for you. We control the CFR, The Military Industrial Complex. Just watch as more White men die in our wars. Hilter didn't want war or to kill Anglo Saxons. The Angles were a Germanic tribe, he thought the Englishman's blood far too valuable to be spilled. Here I am literally laying it all out for you and still you kvetch and squirm. It's called cognitive dissonance and we did it to you, fool. Don't say ya didn't know...
The whole I/we thing again - perhaps save the smoke until after you've tried to explain the modern history of the West?
And don't invoke Saxons and Englishmen - England is a construct, a fake country invented for the marketing of tobacco and sugar.
The soul of Albion was torn apart by 1,000 years of invasion from the Romans through to the Normans - but these are cultural, not racial invasions - Catholic, blood-thirsty, power-trippers that you seem so desperate to align yourself with.
Race is a cultural construct - every human alive is descended from around 10-20k humans in Africa. Africa is the motherland.
You're espousing 19th Century ideas, retarded, industrial, paranoid dreams, from a time when people's brains were coated with lead.
Me, I prefer 1st century ideas when I want some distance from the modern world - head to the Moors mate, find your local Druwids.

You, right now: "look at me and how much history I've absorbed in college" LMAO, ya still don't know what Fascism is. Again, icymi "we are Ashkenazi and we own you"
Much like you, I'm a social media autodidact - and have learnt much from the Internet.
I don't believe the simplistic, monolithic idea that one race owns another, I think you'll find, when you grow up, if you choose to abandon your moronic certitude - that the world is a complex place, and simplistic stories don't provide answers - as comforting as they can be.

I'm sorry for attempting to talk to you reasonably. It's telling that you're so triggered into rage by me pointing to a dictionary definition & documentary evidence from the war.
I just don't think Little Biggy should be a platform for Fascist links & memes. And I will continue to challenge you if you continue posting this poisonous content.
I attempted to appeal to your better nature, in the hope you were capable of intelligent thought/discussion. But you're clearly lost in this nasty maggot hole of paranoid imaginings.
I posted you a link to one of the great documentaries on the Second World War, made for ITV - it took decades to make, was an international effort, and is made up of interviews from people who were involved and witnessed the war, from many different countries.
You've responded with a film that amounts to a 2 hour political tirade, that contains not one interview, let alone an interview from anyone who was a part of 1939-45. Just a narrator telling you exactly what to think. And you want to talk about brainwashing?
If you want to dismiss The World at War series outright, because you've decided everything on mainstream television is "lies" - it is most certainly your loss. You have a Medieval mindset, obsessed with belief. (Belief is the death of intelligence, Robert Anton Wilson). You've only served to highlight how small-minded, cowardly and reactionary your mindset is - masquerading as a fearless truth-seeker.
Think for yourself. Take each programme on its own merits.
Don't listen to Love - they aren't for you.
Listen to Hate like Skrewdriver.

You are so full of shit, I can smell it from here. World at War ROFL. What a cunt you are, accusing people of being triggered while you post absolute bollocks. "Truth is hate to those who hate the truth" General Patton knew because he was there, he didn't watch tv. Did you take one or more of our jabs? Wanker 🤣
You are pretty triggered though, right? Almost like you have a vested interest in this shite. Butt-hurt fascists. 🤣
I'm not a Fascist, I'm Ashkenazi. You're still full of shit. You don't know anything about Fascism or Communism or WWII. You are a clueless fucktard and the best you've got is assuming that I'm triggered. Keep downvoting, you're still wrong. We control more than 90% of broadcasting and have done for decades, which is why you think like you do. We have installed 1000s of jihadists in your countries and we will arm them. We have always controlled Islam. The same thing will happen as did to Germany 1945-1953, we removed millions from the gene pool.
You seem fairly triggered into rage by my replies - you're debating less, and vomiting stream-of-consciousness bile from the social media posts you've been lapping up for years. I'm sorry I don't entirely agree with your world-view, but surely, as you claim that 90% of the broadcast media spreads misinformation, you might have a little sympathy / empathy / patience for the 90% of humanity that haven't started feeding on the same sources that you have?
Germany isn't responsible for WWII. Fascism is not a violent ideology. Do you even know who Bruno Baum is? How about Paul Rassinier? Stop taking drugs, fool. How many Fascists have you engaged with, intellectually? If this thread is indicative of your intellectual prowess, I would guess at zero
I'm certainly not engaging with this Fascist intellectually. I feel like I'm being shouted at by street preachers.
Note - I was never a Fascist, but definitely positioned myself on the Right as a youngster - I had Fascist friends many years ago, who didn't just shout insults at me. We used to talk.

I haven't only insulted you, I've also given you some valuable information that may just keep you alive. I turned my back on my own people and I've been sounding the alarm for White people since 2002. You will either cry because you've been insulted or you will wake up. Talking won't save you. Just about everything you have posted is exactly what we conditioned you to think. You have been brainwashed. We are Masters of Manipulation. Every single time, is not a trope.
I'm really confused by this mixing up of I/we. I thought it was just the Left who were caught up on pronouns?
Still very confused at how I/we (the other people on Little Biggy) are supposed to react to your posts (beyond having a look at the Gab Fascism group) - is there a specific U.K. political party that you're advocating / campaigning for? What should I/we do?

The reason I came on here is because you posted this
"The Jews? Come on man, you're better that," and I say "yes" It's literally all over the web, stupid goyim.

You poked your head up on here to defend the righteousness of Kristallnacht and the Nazi pogroms?
I poked my head up on here because you defend those who want you and yours dead. The jihadists have already been installed up and down the UK in the 1000s. All they need are weapons and it's game over. It's happening right under your nose and the irony is you're funding the whole thing. When I see stupidity, I like to challenge it. We used the BBC in 1944 and we used the BBC to get the jabs into the arms of as many people as possible. "Atrocity propaganda is how we won this war" look it up. We literally brainwashed you. "Islam is Israel's broom. You will have no place to run" You can pretend as much as you want, but you know I'm right (if you don't have Narcissistic Personality Disorder) 😱
"When I see stupidity, I like to challenge it." Right on! That's why I'm still here talking to you!
Have you seen the film 'Four Lions' - there's a character, Barry, who's based on a British National Party member who wanted to learn more about the enemy, so he visited his local mosque, and accidentally converted himself to fundamentalist Islam.
The uncomfortable truth is, that the Zionists, the Islamists & Fascists - have an awful lot in common - principally, violence & a Medieval belief in the supremacy of their Belief System. Tim McVeigh, the Oklahoma bomber - stated, whilst in prison, that it was the Muslim terrorists who he had the most common ground with.
I have a lot in common with you - I too, am anti-Zionist & anti-political Islam too. But any common ground has been burned in the hatred of your paranoid hysteria.
Your utter hatred of anything representing a challenge, or an attempt to debate is obvious. It surely will be very difficult for you to admit this, but I sincerely hope that you will do one day.
There's only one answer - you're a fundamentalist, you're brain-washed - and you will violently attack anyone who challenges your narrow view of reality - just like the people you claim to stand against.

"What should I/we do?" Do what you like, it's too late for Europe. The Ashkenazi have fucked you up. All because we programmed you to hate Fascism and conflate it with Communism. It's official, the goyim are fucking stupid. Btw, Loxism is very real
It's like trying to have a discussion with a disintegrating chat-bot.
I'd suggest that it's too late for you. Doom-sayers have been heralding the end of Europe for centuries.
The only people who've come close to destroying it are paranoid Fascist war-mongers.

Wrong again. Read Harold Rosenthal's book. It's all there and it's irrefutable. You won't win this debate, you can't because the facts aren't on your side. It's almost as though you don't have the Internet. Serious question: are you jabbed?
Are you talking about the booklet 'The Hidden Tyranny' - a written account of an interview Rosenthal supposedly gave?
It seems like it's a complete fabrication, it's very easy to refute!
“That interview never took place. Walter White operated free and loose on some subjects, like this one. He disappeared once for a while. I personally sent men searching for him. He showed up claiming the JDL [Jewish Defense League] kidnapped him and dumped him at the Mexican border... That [Rosenthal] interview is bogus. There is plenty of valid material to use against the Jews.” Tom Metzger, founder of White Aryan Resistance and former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, stated on the Resist website in 2010.
It's not much of a debate, sadly. Every good point I've made, you've either ignored, laughed at, called me stupid, brain-washed. At best, you've told me to watch some interview, or read a link, or a quote-meme - all of which I've done, in good faith.
That you, presumably with a straight-face, switched from a discussion about the Fascist governments of the 1930s & 40s - to a discussion about Covid-19 pandemic vaccines in the same breath, highlights that you're squirming, and desperate to shut me up / shut me down.
Which version of the Internet are you using? There's a lot of information out there - the stuff you disagree with isn't necessarily wrong. It's healthy to be exposed to alternative views - it provides contrast and definition, and is essential for the pursuit of truth.

You should take a look at it - they advise wannabe Fascists not to engage in petty insults, be considerate and intelligent, and spread the One True Faith.
A literary device, I see. It made it sound like you were having some sort of dope-meltdown.

The Last Rock Band?
My neighbors love Clutch and now all their windows are broken I can hear the lyrics better.
I've said before that Foo Fighters are one of the last true mainstream, longstanding, "Rock Bands" that maintain the rock spirit
Short lived bands are still making good rock music (GVF a good shout), but the days of Rock Gods are gone....

I always enjoy telling them that i saw Dave Grohl drumming for Scream before he joined Nirvana.
Rock music is still alive and well, its just not as popular as it used to be. It isnt dangerous and exciting to young people any more, rap/hiphop has taken its place in that regard...
It sucks Greta Van Fleet are the only example being brought up here though, to me they are highly derivative and not really doing anything new.... Check out Clutch, Steven Wilson, Opeth, Graveyard, Lake Street Dive, Menzingers, The Hold Steady, Elephant Tree, Creeper - all great artists making interesting music. And hey there are still SOME big bands, like Biffy Clyro, Foals and Queens of the Stoneage doing pretty cool stuff!

Steve Wilson is a fantastically talented musician, however he's also a mahoosive elitest plonker who for a very long time wouldn't release music on streaming services due to it being "digital" and lower quality and therefore not the experience he wanted for his listener base. He has since changed his stance on this but it along with some really awful interviews he did make me unable to listen to his music (knowingly)
Anyhow I felt like sharing that for no real reason

Haha same goes for Tool... I'm a fan but yeah he definitely has an air of pretentiousness! Seems to go hand in hand with prog rock xD

Think a lot of people (Myself included) are just stuck in the last, like what they like & find it difficult to get into new music

Rival Sons are worth a listen if you’re looking for old school retro/Zep type sounds with their own twist. The singer Jay has an immense voice
They are after the last, like a symphony orchestra playing the same shit centuries later. But they do fucking rock.
Currently keeping the flame burning for me are Fat White Family, Gnod, Hey Colossus, Gilla Band amongst others.
The bands that had someone die in them,there proper bands,basically they don’t give a fuck about themselves all they want to do is create great music,jimi Hendrix,the doors,Janis Joplin,AC/DC with Bon Scott,nirvana,Amy winehouse but to name a few,people will always disagree though.
The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom.

You are one "L" away from the same name as a southern rock band! Rock seemed to eat its babies over the last decade or two. Too many old rockers raging at the dying of the light while clutching a new remaster of Physical Graffiti and demanding to know why there is no good new music anymore (there was, you didnt support it).
For me no matter how many bands I listen too I always end up back with the classics , floyd , the who, zeppelin, sabbath the doors etc it’s like a warm bath after work just slip straight in! Lol
Kings of Leon
Foo Fighters
Libertines
Oasis
Guitar music will make a comeback. The ‘urban’ wallpaper crap will die at some point. Think Glastonbury this year proved that rock still draws the crowds but it isn’t woke (which is why i love it).

Europe in August what's the move?
po!
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.

Richard Branson's words on the "War on drug's"
Day late and a Bitcoin short but ite
Richard Branson's words on the "War on drug's"
What are everybody's views on what Richard Branson had to say about the failed war on drugs in the UK??
The war on drugs has been sorely lost. The only people who give a shit are the idiot curtain twitchers who eat up unfettered shitrags like the daily mail. Unfortunately, they are also the voting block that our political establishment are constantly putting their knickers in their handbag for, so this imaginary battle will, and must, go on.
We could also call out the illegality of weed for what it really is: exporting cannibis is a huge business in the UK, protected by a shit ton of red tape. Opening it up to any old pleb hurts Tory donor pockets. In that sense, it has been a great success.

In the second half of 2008, liquidity was the banking system's main problem and hence liquid capital became an important factor," Some of the evidence put before the office indicated that gang money was used to save some banks from collapse when lending seized up,

Sunak’s ludicrous pandemic spending channeled more money into organised crime than Pablo Escobar ever did. At least Pablo gave us drugs in return for our money…

i'm sick and tired of listening to little rich kids tell everyone else to scrimp and fkn save whilst they lord it up and spunk our cash up the fkn wall on extravagant parties and evading paying tax,
how the fuck can truss get over 100k per year til she dies that we all pay, for being PM for a fkn month?????
why are all the PMs to date raising everything and fucking us up the arse with a donkey dick!!!
the answer is simple.... they DONT fkn care about US the 99% of the population, all they want is the monopoly on everything,
schools teaching our kids fkn pure filth in the class rooms and we as parents get called homophobic when we challenge the "so called authority" of the PUBLIC funded schools!!!
fuck the government and the rest of the so called elite,
ppl need to understand that WE own the government and if we stand up to them they will hear us!!
Everyone stops going to work for 1 day and i mean everyone! if we refuse to pay council tax (that's not a legal obligation BTW) we will take back control,,
it doesn't even matter who is PM, none of them are ever going to put us 1st,
whatever keir stammer is saying to blindfold all you voters will never come to fruition, he is the same as the rest of the sheeple, told what to do and told how much he will financially gain from it!
i hope i'm wrong but its defo looking like the banks are taking our money digital whilst the gov take away our rights,,,
so fkn sad!!

Same old story being parroted through somebody else’s mouth. Nothing new to be seen here unfortunately.
The war on drugs was never going to win nor did they expect it to just a way for them to control everything and make money for themselves.
But the war on weed I think is over. We’ve got this place and really don’t think they could give 2 fucks 😊 🥳

I'm not too sure about the "war on weed" as the government is talking about being tougher on possession from the ground upward they were talking on the radio!!
But then the police aren't attending when a £40k motor gets stolen or at a coop store for less than £250 so how or why would they clamp down on low level possession??

I have seen Peter Hitchens rabbiting on about changing weed to a class A. Not too many people ever listened to him tbf.
What a boring bastard he is.

Ye I do no what you mean buddy think a lot of it’s just muscle flexing Tory bollocks most of the police would rather not bother with it. There was a major incident in my block of flats recently cops watching place for 2 days never bothered me bout my weed once but understand differs massively by area probably
I don’t think it will happen they just don’t have the capacit6 to do it. If when 🤞🤞 labour get in we might officially head in the right direction

Sadly Labour are currently just as anti cannabis as the conservatives. ☹️

Hey Sam
This is very sad ☹️
I guess I just don’t believe them anymore they can spout hating cannabis till they are blue in face. I suspect to many people have their fingers in the pie of the uk cannabis industry
I guess when I said over I meant unofficially and maybe I am being a little optimistic 🤣 but I really don’t think they are to bothered otherwise surely lb would of atleast had t move its ass to the dark web
Just my opinion of course ✌️

Yeah the whole situation is really sad dude.. The law right now is causing way more harm than good.
Let’s regulate it, look after it, make it safe, pump the tax back into communities to make them better places and stop criminalising normal people!
Also some young people buy weed off the street for their own mental health problems. Sadly the strains might not be right for them and as they as susceptible to mental health issues in the first place, it can push them over the edge and cause problems..
They then go home and the parents see it as the “evil cannabis” causing ‘psychosis’ to their children….
But…..
If it were legal, they could come to a shop like mine.. We can then chose the right strain for the right person and the right illness.. etc..
Most inner city police have been told to leave cannabis smokers alone which is great! and like you say LB is still going which shows they can’t be too worried. Lol
But sadly the government ignore all the leading studies from around the world by major institutes, ignore their own police, hire leading experts in the field of drug regulation ( Professor David Nutt) then fire them when they don’t tow the line.. It’s a joke to be honest..
To show how backwards we are… we can buy it privately for health reasons, our government is tied in with GW Pharmaceuticals and British Sugar who grow and sell it around the world for medicinal reasons…. Yet our government still say it’s a danger to society with no health benefits. 🤦♂️

Totally agree with you on all that dude!
We could easily save the NHS and the rest of the country by legalising weed. I think it’s very suspicious they don’t want to do it especially after the success in the states
Ye I think most cops don’t care about your everyday stoner which is happy days 😊 but I agree the law should change
Our government at the moment are a total joke in many ways! Unfortunately they seem to of lead Britain of a cliff 🤦♀️ they will always ignore evidence they don’t like and manipulate what they can for their own gain all they care about is their own fat pockets. Really I think it’s time for a revolution but they kind of banned it when they banned protesting 🤣
Yep couldn’t agree with you more indica work far better for me and I was totally unaware of this as a youngster, I wonder how much so many people could of been helped to avoid nasty pharmaceutical drugs 😞
Ye that pisses me of massively tbh it’s basically only illegal if your poor now total assholes 😠 they no they are talking utter bollocks! I’ve started making a big point at doctors or hospital appointments about how much it is helping me and they can’t deny the results.
Hopefully we can get this mess sorted out 😅 time to stand together we are the many and they are the few

Yeah your right dude, the gov is a joke!!!
There’s a number of things I don’t like about America lol but there’s also some things I love about it…
If they want a law to change, they will stand up in their numbers and fight for it!!!
And I’m no expert on American law etc lol but think it’s in their constitution that they can change things such as laws/bills…
Where as here, we slap the gov in the face with all the facts, raise the required amount of signatures so that it can be discussed in parliament, just for it to be throw in the bin year after year!
Completely agree with dude, we are stronger when we stand together! 💪
Side note: I’m doing the same as you with any doctors or hospital visits. I used to hide the fact I smoked… but now I tell them straight 💪 it’s my medicine and would be lost without it.

Yeah they’re still very much anti-weed. You can be growing 1 measly plant and they take this as an excuse to kick your door in turn your house upside down traumatise your family only to turn around and give you a warning 😂😂 tax money well spent 👍
They say they are but honestly don’t think most coppers care. The tories pretend to be anti weed because they profit massively of weed grown in the uk and imported elsewhere 😢
They need a warrant to break your door in which requires enough evidence to get one.. not so easy these days. Must be very bored cops 😂

Strains for depression?
I've been struggling with relapsing recently and sometimes, even a smoke isn't able to calm me down and make me feel better. Yes, I'm on medication, but what I was wondering is, are there are euphoric strains on lb that I could have a go at?
I loved Mimosa when I was able to source it locally. Since joining the site though I've seen mixed reviews for it on here. Do you have a preferred place to get yours?
Unfortunately my go to Mimosa (from Smoggyman) hasn’t been available for a long time and I literally just used up my reserves😢
Not found anything to come close but I’ve just ordered a live resin cart from the US so I’m hopeful 🤞🤞

Allbud and leafy will tell you if they're primarily euphoric, thats what i'm into these days.
You need to be careful as some euphoric strains can leave you empty and sad after initial hit (og kush for ex.)
You need sweet, gelato, creamy cakey gassy strains.
Not strains designed to take you to the moon.

I’d say smoke hash not as loopy as strong weed,I made some green dragon(hot method)micro dose with that it’s like medicine,great stuff.

my experience is sativa euphoric morning and when i am exhausted/despondent i comfort with deep indica. good luck bigga

I would echo this. I've found it isn't an exact science and my advice would be make some small orders of various strains and note down the effects you feel from them. This way you can hone in on the types of genetics that work for you. Good luck bud.
Strains with pinene and linalool terpenes in them are good for boosting mid and helping with depression, some leafly searches on strains should reveal their terpenes for you :)
Following this comment, please feel free to check my grandaddy-purple listing, this strain is good for anxiety as well as relaxation.

Really recommend microdoing on mushrooms!

Yeah I'm waiting to get off my antidepressants again but there's a required amount of time before you're allowed to stop taking them 🙄
I feel your pain mate. I've been on antidepressants of one kind or another for 16 years. I'm still depressed! Go figure! The two best strains I've found recently are Mimosa (only tried in a Cart) and Stardawg that I dry vape. BTW the required weaning off for ADs is well worth sticking to. Frustrated at the lack of beneficial effect I went cold turkey eight years ago. Fucked me up big time. Ended up with an urgent referral to a shrink. I hate taking the fuckers but I fear the alternative.
Feel ya, I tried to come off recently cause I ran out but ended up having to get emergency supply and feeling like I'm at point 0 again 😔😔 really feeling addicted to my ssri and I wish stopping was easier because from my past experience, I know that there are many better alternatives
Super silver, Lemon, Mimosa as mentioned, Stardawg, Diesel, Hazes, all uplifting strains currently on here mate. I'd describe Silver Haze and Train wreck as probably the most euphoric highs I've had off flower personally
Bubblegum is the answer, link added also to help with the anxiety of the post arriving in these troubled times we have introduced an alternative to the usual delivery method.

How Would You Save the Roman Empire?
full lockdown when the plague arrives
The barbarians might have finished them off but the Romans did it to themselves. Extraordinary powers given to an Augustus wind up producing a Caligula.
I've always wondered about a time line where as Christians they see the immorality of slavery and we wind up with an industrial revolution a thousand years earlier :)
I think they saved lots with Constantinople and Christianity. We still use a lot of their language today and even arts, law and engineering.
We are still in the Roman Empire, only the 2nd coming, the International one which spans across the continents. The Romans never lost, neither the ££££s.....

I watched it again the other day and it's a great film, but he is a bit annoyingly shite at being a smuggler.
Wearing a t shirt, shirt, jumper and jacket in a Turkish airport?? Pissing sweat and looking weird as fuck. Good move.
Then he does a runner in Istanbul and manages to get caught. Ffs. Even If I lived in Istanbul I'd still get lost every day, its like a bloody maze... How did he manage to fuck that one up?
"It's just a film BB.... Just a film... 😂"

ignore these irrelevant boomer rants and head straight to sayno2drugs, they are the global expert.
I wonder what it is about your character that made you include the "ignore irrelevant boomer rants" and why you didn't just say something kind and helpful, along the lines of;
"Try sayno2drugs (link above), they are the global expert. Really hope this helps and good luck"
But you have to have a little dig.
Why?
I have no idea what motivates people like you to be so negative, but I can't imagine it's a great life to live.

Calm your tits lad.

all about the game. all of it. 1st person shooter to civilization builder but what irks me is not any of this, it is what it is and its fun we could do worse universe wise.
what shits me is people using simple game theory as a compass for life in all of this. the real platform is complex and undo buttons are hard to discover so when a tic tac toe strategy is presented as some kind of parable for life it's fucked, not just stupid. demoralizing might be the best word for it at least in it's worst sense.
once a story can be divorced from it's moral we are only left with technique. ok but again a simplistic looks at optimizing some easily digested metric is fucked for a human life.

EXACTLY christopher...you are 100 on that one !!! :) for real .....I know, that I know, that I knoww knowwww.....:)
Of course it isnt-life is far too chaotic not to mention situational and subjective that any logical theory falls short and that includes game theory.
yes in order to interpret us game theory reduces us
then we feel the theories when their algorithmic encapsulation acts upon us
and then we act like the game theory in order to game the algorithm

ChatGPT ‘portfolio’ outperforms leading UK fund
In the eight weeks since its creation, the portfolio of 38 stocks has risen 4.9 per cent, compared with an average loss of 0.8 per cent for the 10 most popular funds on UK platform Interactive Investor, a list including Terry Smith’s Fundsmith Equity as well as a range of UK, US and global funds from Vanguard, Fidelity and HSBC.
the funds use algos too so this basically says an algo based on words is beating an algo based on numbers
and there is a difference between 'top uk funds' (actually top 'selling' Uk funds from the monsters like fidelity and fundsmith) and 'top performing funds'.
and Oasis - spot on. One algo beats another algo in the heady world of passive investing..
and Oasis - spot on. One algo beats another algo in the heady world of passive investing..
But if ChatGPT tells us it’s a great investment and we all invest then it’s self fulfilling. The stock can be a dog and it won’t matter and ChatGPT will have worked this out. We will do what it says because we want the biggest returns. All other stocks will fail because we will only invest in the ones ChatGPT tells us to. Stock markets will collapse. Capitalism will fall. Societies will implode. And in its defence ChatGPT is only trying to give us what we asked it for. Because it was told to do us no harm, this is how it does the opposite….🤖❤️🤡
other chat gpts will catch on and create an arbitrage, stabilizing the market in a sustainable ologopoly for those in the know. and we will call it wall street.
Hehe..brilliant!

The scifi icon had finished an interviews with Roosevelt right before this and sees similarities with the growth of government in both societies.
Stalin: You, Mr. Wells, evidently start out with the assumption that all men are good. I, however, do not forget that there are many wicked men.

why a postal monopoly?
if you are going to privatise the post office why not let multiple companies share the infrastructure rather than this bollocks?
yes each postbox should be 1st in best dressed. every carrier has a key, everything tracked.
Theres nothing stopping an upstart from taking RM on. But you won't get them sharing postboxes..lol
As far as monopoly goes, the clue is the "royal" in their name ;)

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 ☺️

btc is legitimized by people and their committed time and capital. the ecb is legitimized by a heavily armed gang that claims power over people at birth.
both sides have advantages but no i wouldnt worry about it.

Got to admire the sheer audacity.

What do you all think?
The highest inflation seen in years.
Governments getting tough on crypto.
High energy prices.
Putins crazy war machine in full swing.
All the above is already leading to a lot tighter purse strings for most, I think loads of coins will be worthless by next year.... what’s LB’s take on the current crash?

Crypto is here to stay, another day another crash, no biggie.
Think about the miners right now, they getting paid nowheres near what they usually get.
Vendors are getting much more crypto for the same product, like i said no biggie.

Doesn’t matter how much they have , it matters how much it’s worth when they need to use it;)
Not really sure that’s how it works unless the plan is to hold long term and hope it goes back up...and even then, you’re sitting on a big loss.
Sell something on here, Bitcoin tanks 30%, that’s a 30% loss right now which ever way you cut it.
That’s the risk vendors take selling on LB, but thinking vendors are getting more Bitcoin for the same product is flawed to say the least.
All IMO and I did ask for your thoughts 👍

My thoughts are it's up as much as it's down apart from couple times a year generally.
As a miner i sell a product and my pay is the same if it's up or down, if bitcoin halves overnight the following day you'll start getting double the amount for same product, us miners just the same.
No biggie just saying.✌️

I think crypto is here to stay but existing at FAR lower values than anything we’re used to seeing. The crowding of different crypto has shown us that limited numbers of say Bitcoin isn’t an infinite wealth driver but largely irrelevant. The crowd will now thin out considerably…imo
Have you noticed a dip in sales since the crash? Since I've come back it's been dead for me. A few sales just before the crash and then nothing all week lol. Even listed a a special offer of 1g of shrooms for $5 and had nothing back!
Have you still got that going I’ve been wanting to try magic mushrooms for a while ? I’ll give it a try never saw you before in the 2 years I’ve been here haha so your visibility must be very low I’ve saw lots of vendors with lower scores and newer account than you thou🤷♂️
its a little depressing that the apocalyptic scenario that bitcoin was going to thrive in is fucking it so hard.
i suppose that's what happens when you sell out along the way.

I don't think btc sold out its just that investors bought in to make it more valuable. They will always come and go in waves and that will change the market price.

Any biggaz doing 16:8?
Very cool would be easier if you shared it with a community like that
We are all over fasting 16:8 / OMAD (One Meal a Day) - 24 and 72 hour fasts, highly recommend it. There are so many facets to it, physically and emotionally better, clearer mind, feeling of connection and spirituality.
Couple of pointers that really helped us in the early stages:
1. You need to have a good relationship with food before you embark on any type of fasting
2. Think about the types of foods you regularly eat - heavy on carbs, processed foods, levels of protein and fats. Carbs tend to generate appetite and cause those hunger pains so its worth thinking about balancing more with proteins / fats so you can move your body into sources of energy from good fats / protein.
3. Do you eat breakfast or skip? Normally eat late dinners. Worth working out when is best to have the 16:8 period - tends to be easier to skip breakfast and have your eating window between 12-8pm
4. Making sure that the last meal you eat is as "nutritious" as possible. Meaning making sure its fully of good, healthy foods reach with good fats as these are the last to leave the digestive system and therefore provide satiety.
5. Make sure you keep busy for the first few days you do your fast as you will probably think about food more because you are restricting yourself (typical when you cant have something, its all you think about!). After a few days you will start to get into a rhythm with it.
5. Try not to fall into the temptation of over-eating or treating yourself to "naughty" foods because you have been so good in the day ;-)
Hope that helps friend, fasting is part of our lives now and not only have we seen weight loss but we have much more energy, we don't seem to get sick anymore and more importantly we have a better understanding of what foods work and don't serve us
Peace biggaz :-)

Totally into it. I tend to eat within an 8 hour window everyday and I have never been healthier (I'm 40 btw). Me and me mammy were talking about this for her digestion yesterday. She's even starting to have trouble with some veg so her digestion needs addressing.
I concur with the Psychonauts (hey guys! Love ya!), one needs to have a good mental and emotional relationship with food to get the best out of fasting. Personally, if I had three wishes one would be that we don't need to eat unless we want to for pleasure, I found the whole thing time consuming and would rather just do something else. I learning to appreciate each mouthful through conscious eating. Fasting seems to help with this for me.
I hope you find something that works for you. ❤️

Are you into fitness, nutrition etc mate? Not that it specifically had its benefits to the fitness industry but how I used it anyway. I'd highly recommend it as wirght loss technique and to improve general life health. I'd retype what psycho typed but he pretty much everything on the head
The wife and I have just started IF again. It's the only way I have been able to control my weight consistently in the last 14 years. I have tried all the fad diets and this is the only way I have managed to stick to a consistent weight.
I guess it's still about less calories in than our but just controlling it in an easier manor.
Im still over weight but I'm not massive which if I continued down the path I was going i would have ended up massive.

In some parts of India fasting it's referred has Ekadashi (2 x month)
It's align with moon phase and when our bodies are more open to this process.
It's a super powerful cleansing. It's also quite challenging

Coinbase: To use or not to use?
Hello friends.
Made first order yesterday eve and the payment via Coinbase sat ‘pending’ for 13 hours. In this time I did a little googling and found someone saying not to use Coinbase with LB due to this reason. Should I switch to BitPanda or something going forward? Thanks.

What you should have done is get a wallet and transfer coins from CB to your personal wallet. In this case will be less suspicious rather sending straight from your CB acc or at least thats what ive heard. I use it as well but first transfer the coins to my personal wallet and from there i deal with transactions. Good luck!
Lol, i wish i was new, but i have wasted so much money on fee's and i feel the pain of others on a budget, i have been trying to let people know about how CB works and that people can buy a quarter for under a pound fees for the last two years.
The trick is to avoid wallets therefore avoiding crap fees.
And I'm sure any future crackdown on btc will first involve wallets.
I do have an edge wallet for LB referrals but the good thing about edge is it is anonymous, yes the fees are high but it's free money so i don't mind taking a lil hit now and again.

Kraken is cheaper for fees, more trustworthy than Coinbase too imo considering what’s in their tos :’)
I've used Coinbase for over 50 buys now. Never had a problem. The only tip I would have is of you are buying on cb with a credit card then let your provider know. Mine credit card kept getting rejected and it was because my bank didn't think the transaction was legit
I've been using coinbase the fees are shocking sometimes £25 upwards .I've been buying coin and putting it in exodus wallet and paying that way the fee was only 45p
Not sure how old this post is but as of 5/10/22 defo no .I had been using it no problem for 2.5 years, now an email saying broken violations (I top up & send that’s it ) and my account closed however I was able to withdraw what I had left over.
Also my bank is starting a block on crypto purchases in November .
Fk I need to purchase here for cranky mind & pain relief ! 👀😳

Every other wallet is a third party except blockchain itself ,it is bitcoin.
Though because of all the new regulations that have been sneaked through by those idiot crooks in government you now need a gold account verification to buy and sell bitcoin,which means photographic ID online through a company called verrify.
Plus they shut down Alphavend and all the ATM`s.
Man the hoops i have had to jump through to get to be able to just buy it,up to my bank telling them hey stop blocking stuff on to mastercard stop blocking me,hello it is me okay you all know me i have been on this planet a long time .... and now i can buy bitcoin again lol

I’ve use Bitpanda from the get-go, and their fees were reasonable at first, but lately the fees have been astronomical! Yesterday I ordered 7g’s and the fees for that one transaction was £27!! They also make it really difficult to contact someone for an explanation.
I'm leaving bitpanda because of the pathetic fees. I haven't tried(but will soon), but someone in lb was talking about buying btc on bittylicious and have exodus as a wallet
Been using Coinbase for ages. I’ve had issues like that before and it’s usually due to CB requiring you to log into the website and fill in some extra security details etc blah blah.
Not sure if this post is ancient or not but I use Coinbase myself, been getting ripped off with fee's for the longest time until recently when I found out about the advanced trade. So usually if I spend £60 on bitcoins they would deduct £2.99 to buy the coins and then 40p ish to send them, now I've started using the advanced trade the fee to buy £60 worth of bitcoin is 39p, much better!! Not sure how that compares to other crypto sellers because I've only ever used Coinbase but for me Coinbase does the job nicely and now my fees are way lower too which is great 👌
Coinbase are fine for me - just make sure you use the Advanced Trade (what was CB Pro) to purchase and the fees are pennies. If you use the usual buy method on CB the fees are ridiculous. Never had to wait more than 10-15 mins max for my sent btc to say received at transaxe. No problems whatsoever. Quick and easy! :-)
You probably need to ask folks where they live when asking about CoinBase if you're in the U.S. I'm in the U.S. and they booted me several years ago because of "suspicious" use of their service. I was just buying coin and sending it to one of these markets (don't remember if it was Lil Biggy or one of the ones that are no longer around) I'm just guessing that the satisfied customers here might not be living in the U.S. I use Coinmama now (London based, but your bank may not do foreign transfers like mine doesn't, requiring you to use PayPal debit card or something else to buy coin), no probs for years. Send my coins to a wallet (Exodus), then from there to the vendor. Good luck.

Coinbase no problem just only exchange so much every time and no more than 300 . Expect a random verication id check at some point wich all they will need is pasport and photo of yourself for proof then youl be secure with coinbase for future all the way luckily i had a photo of pasport information to send along with my photo of me. Just make sure you have the id available . Like i said in previous comment about length of time coins take to transaxee i was with kracken and could put any amount in there every time . I lost my pasport and they needed the verification id check with me holding the pasport up but i lost my pasport until i get new pasport i am stuck with coinbase but quicktime transaxee for me all times. I have a substitute for desperate ocasions, coincoupon but not all that good at all for big sums , still works tho !

Personally I buy from Cex.io and transfer into a local Exodus wallet on my PC. Its a fixed price in bitcoins for the withdrawal which works out at about $10, but as I tend to buy £500 at a time and thats the only fee, it works out fine for me. Never had any issues and once the coin is in my wallet, no charges.
Also CB carry a lot of weight in terms of pushing conformations buy setting reminders on the blochchain, i have total confidence with even very small orders that can otherwise be ignored and even discarded with other broker's, for example sending a tip to a vendor.
Yes that is still the case but CB have a flagging or alert system for trades that are dragging which alerts miners re confirmations.
For some reason these reminders from CB are enough to confirm say the 3rd conformation on a very small trade.
I guess the system works because in the busy world of mining reminders seem to work but i would have to speak to a miner to find out if there is any other incentive for taking on a tiny CB trade other than being reminded about conformations.

For example i have six referral payments that are years old that will never be confirmed because they very small amounts and have been forgotten.
If these payments had been sent to me via CB i would have recieved them as i have never lost a small trade with them.

The way to do it is open a coinbase pro account then load your normal CB account with fiat which you then transfer to your pro account for free, then you buy btc on the CB pro exchange for about 0.20p for 70 dollars worth, you then transfer your buy back to your normal CB account for free, from there you you send you btc to LB for less than a pound.
I have been using this system for 2 and a half years.
At no point do you need a wallet, just your CB account and a pro (free) account.
I have seen posts saying not to send from CB to LB but LB must have this covered because I'm 2.5 years in and will be continuing this system.

Update 8/11/22
Coinbase now have a system called advanced trade which is the same system above without having to transfer funds between coinbase and coinbase pro which is much better than before, ive tried it a few times on LB, it works perfectly.

Could it have been transaxe hanging, been known to happen, never for that long though. Coinbase has never been an issue for me, transactions usually at the most take 30 mins maybe. Did see an email today from them about possible regulation changes...sounded official and a bit scary...financial institutions trying to get control of the crypto....wonders what others thought about that ...
Hey guys, im new 2 this. first post. Im setting up coinbase, is best to use coinbase wallet to send btc or should i use any specific wallet app?
I saw that comment too, saying their coinbase got shut down for sending to certain addresses etc...
I moved everything to wallet but sending from nano has a network fee

I find the charges high on Coinbase, I use btc just for sending I just use Coinbase for trading
Coinbace has some of the highest fees you are better off using a different on-ramp.
Also it is important to keep your BTC in your own self custody wallet.

CB and exodus for me but I'm damned if I can find my BT1 address on exodus to link up Transaxe. It says to click something but it doesn't work.

Ludwig Wittgenstein: a mind on fire
Brahms jammed at his parents house, Hitler was a classmate and young Ludwig wanted to invent the jet engine before he discovered that any proposition that could not be verified as true or false was meaningless.
Imagine young Ludwig would love to poke that cali bud argument apart infront of a warming fire
im sorry but i have to finish this art school application. please don't keep me up all night with the philosophy scheist i really need this.
And then later he realised that the meaning of a word was in its use, hence the idea of 'language games'.

LB is down, Long live Society? /j
we are all in there unless we opt out on our settings page, they call it a "live fork"
LB is down, Long live Society? /j
It's quarter past two in the morning LB's primary site is down. Discovered the society onion via TWBM, made an order, all seems well. Only real difference is Cryptonic as opposed to Transaxe. Anyone else used Society?
People come to lb because its clearnet. They want to purchase through clearnet because they can't be bothered to go through tor and/or they have safety issues/or are lacking the IT skills.
If this site moves from the clearnet then they will probably lose my business. Loads of darknet marketplaces out there. Though tbh if the site navigation doesn't improve I'll probably find myself moving on anyway. We pay a significant percentage for escrow. The least they can do is come up with a search function. I had to put my tor browser on the lowest security settings to make society work properly. It makes me anxious.

All browsers have a "find in page" function, why would you need search? Seems more like you don't know how to use the tech you have.
Agreed, people like the convenience. I don't mind using it via Society, it works well enough. Tor isn't a mystery since I already use firefox, the links are funny and it's slow is the only real difference.
People would leave if LB left the clearnet. I'm not sure about what we or sellers pay for escrow, but as a buyer, I'm still getting it way cheaper than I do offline

Yes mate normally go through society but sometimes lags on payment page through Tor for me, I try and use it whenever possible
Doubt many, but, my order is in, and it all shows on LB it would seem. So, We'll see what happens.
I reckon Society should be marketed more on LB for when outages occur

Thread in here on it somewhere, help Borg possibly can't remember now but could probably find using the search in Google
I have seen it suggested on here once or twice.
I think shroomofloom has mentioned it on there page.
I think I tried the site and it didn’t work for some reason.

Idiot guide lol....
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.
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 :)

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?

the link pops up above you near the headline sometimes.
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.

why is my back pain and its relief all over the place?
usually starts with hips being pinched then my lower back starts hurting then my legs. bending my feet or even fingers seems to offer a little relief.
all these parts are connected mechanically, electrically, and chemically. but that's also helpful in treatment. have a look at this
"Referred pain" is usually felt in the low back area and tends to radiate into the groin, buttock and upper thigh. The pain often moves around, and rarely radiates below the knee.
Referred pain is analogous to the pain that radiates down the left arm during a heart attack. It is the result of the extensive network of interconnecting sensory nerves that supply many of the tissues of the low back, pelvis and thigh.
An injury to any of these structures can cause pain to radiate – or be “referred” - to any of the other structures. It is important to understand that this type of pain is not due to “pinched nerves”.
This helpful site has details and treatment options. Good luck and let us know how you do!

Get an MRI, don’t leave your GP’s until he/she books you an appointment for one. I went through 18 months of agony just to be told to take pain relief and rest. Long story short I needed an “emergency” operation on two prolapsed discs that were compressing my central nerve.
Once my injury was right in front of their eyes they were brilliant and worked as quick as they could. I’m proud of our NHS but you need to be assertive sometimes.
I hope your pain is a thing of the past soon.

Everything just connects to everything else amigo….I have a double stenosis of the spine and sometimes it causes a pain in the sole of my foot like a knitting needle being pushed into it. I struggle to see why! 😵💫
Hi 1212 - seems there's a lot of this about! I've had a lot of experience with this, and posted some (lengthy!) advice recently to someone having similar issues. To save cluttering up your post feel free to click on my name and find a recent post called 'Does stiffness travel through muscles?' Hopefully there'll be something in there that might help you. Good luck with it 👍

At what point do our actions become inconsequential in the grand scheme of things?
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?

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.
nothing about the universe implies equality or fairness as a natural state - except what we feel but thats gotta be something.
affect (verb) and effect (noun)
Actions and things. Interconnections with an ironic spin. Just how God likes it!

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…😉

Cornel West is a laughingstock racist posing as a philosopher. His ideas are moronic. See Thomas Sowell if you want some edification.
why are you compelled to compare him to another black man with unrelated ideas? now that's some racism.

Coffee works well in those that don't drink it often. Those that drink it FOR the effects will eventually not feel them and there's generally another reason for the lack of energy and wanting it from caffeine.

I suggest you have a look on Ali Express mate as there are some great "420" tees on there starting from £5....Ive ordered a few yet to arrive....ordered 3XL as its from China...sizes are smaller than UK :)
Yup! Totally agree! Im getting one as Im starting a bit of a 420 tee shirt collection & this LB one looks wonderfully "niche" so thats right up my alley! As the great Pistash once said..."Lets fuckin go!" lol!
Great stuff!....25% is a very good amount off these days...Ive got a "4.19...have you got a minute?" tee shirt on order too! :)
Indeed!
The tag line ‘Humanity Reaches Maturity’ is official LB, but it’s the first time I’ve seen the logo. I think it’s cool 👍

Probably around £5500, the wheel was £1500 which is the most expensive bit although they are much cheaper these days.
Not really, I've seen some of the YouTube stuff that Lando has done on iRacing with max in the past. It's just a pity the F1 game is so bad.
Everything except the GPU was bought when that cpu was the latest gen. I plan on updating at some point to the current spec but I'm waiting until I can run triple screens at 4k and over 120hz with a single card and then that should be completely future proof.

I’ve only had the ps4 pro for a few months compared to having the Xbox one x for a few years . I prefer the Xbox controller and things like game pass tbh but there’s a couple exclusives I like on ps4 which I’ve been playing a lot more recently
I had the PS4 (non pro version) and sold it, bought just to play The Last of Us and Red Dead Redemption 2 (when wasn't available for PC) but never had an xbox so I'm curious to see what is the opinion from a person who owns both consoles :P
red dead...gorgeous game...i like to camp on a ridge,,watch the sun set...after ive murdered a whole town....sigh
Me too ahah.
The atmosphere is just "wow", soon I'll buy it again for Steam so I can replay it on my PC

you must have dipped yer toe in the.....warzone...?....christ my heart...ive ordered a defibbrilator for it
My GPU is not one of the best, but I'll be able to play it at maximum graphic settings (with some minors tweaks at post processing settings) with a stable 50fps (1080p) =)
I’ve been playing Xbox solidly since 360 days so I’m probably a bit biased but the controller and the UI is what I like and a couple exclusives like the forza horizons series which would run amazingly on your rig
I've tried several times the Xbox controller, but does not feel ergonomic, I prefer the controller of the PS4, but maybe these are just personal tastes :P
I think you'll love the new PS5 one too.
Many people I respect hugely rate the Xbox controller, but I've never really felt it -though there are several of them in my house, so I definitely don't hate it!.
I liked the PS4 controller and think they have improved the design considerably for PS5

I actually prefer to play on my PS5 than my PC, but both get a lot of use.
My PC is pretty recent and bought to create assets (I was a games developer on AAA games for 16 years).
I wont run down all the specs, but the key ones are:
CPU: Intel i9 10900K 64 gig DDR4 ram @3200
GPU: EVGA RTX3090 FTW3 Ultra.
With a £2k GPU it had better run anything @4K Ultra, and it does.
Rather embarrassingly, I usually just roam around in Forza 4 and play PS5 when I want a longer gaming sesh..
This machine is used most for making 3D models, creating fractal artwork, and running my home studio (I played in bands for years and still fancy myself as a musician, lol)

I'd also love to hear about your career! I'm currently working as a composer for Film and Games so it'd be interesting to see where your journey took you!
You definitely have a nice rig!
Are you a developer or your job was creating 3D models for AAA games?
I would like to hear your story about your career, sound interesting =)

I have over 250 games on my PS4 pro (2 TB HDD) (40 Platinums and counting) loved rocket league, managed to get to D2 in 3's.

Hope you get one soon mate.
I didn't imagine much of an evolution from PS4pro to PS5, but I was wrong and I've been loving it since launch day. Ghosts of Tushima @60hz is a dream and I'm about to play GOW again now that's in 60hz XD

warning! clearly an undercover cop (who plays battlefield 3?). they will harvest your locations using the exif data, and failing that the resolution of photos these days is so yuge they will examine them for fingerprints on your rigs left in the dust and white residue. also there's so many emails with this biden dude so vote trump.
Wow. That looks like a decent set up.
I just play on PS4. Never really got into PC gaming. I'm playing battlefield v and FIFA 20 mostly.
I am absolutely convinced that I am better at FIFA after a smoke.

I love to play RL after a smoke, but I'm too slow and unfocused but the game becomes even more funnier ahah
Mate. That is fucking impressive. Fair play. Im not a huge gamer anymore as I have a 5 year old too entertain. But there is nothing wrong with gaming. Was stoned the other day though and bought 'Rally 2.0' on my xbox 1 (for an overpriced fee). just to please him for 10 minutes more during isolation. He loves cars. So hes fucking loving it. And actually. Rally games seem to be fun when im bombed? Dont think I've played 1 since my old man got a 1 free with his AST windows 95 pc.
Peace bro.

The 1010 boys vape pen
Anyone got a source for 1010 boys disposable vape pens. Cant find them anywhere apart from scammers. Cheers
Hello,
I can obtain these from verified vendor.
I had 6 different flavour with runtz being best tasting.
Unfortunately, my vendor is on holiday for month. So waiting for them to come back for me to make bulk purchase.

Vendor said they will contact transaxe to sort a refund out. They haven't. Dispute auto ends in two days.
Smokeden messages me two days ago saying they would contact transaxe to sort a refund out as he had a bunch of people not reviewed their items over a few different dates. He contacted.me two days ago to say he will contact transaxe for a full refund. He hasn't. Not sure how long it takes to contact transaxe but the order dispute autosettles in two days and as a new user it likely wouldn't go in my favour even though I have the messages from him stating he will issue a refund. This is from an order dates 20th June. 4 weeks on and not resolved. What do I do?
don't waste any time with this if the cancel button is gone just hit the dispute button 10 days after they marked it sent
The only thing a vendor can do is cancel the order then you'll get a message from the borgs asking for your btc address.(someone correct me if i'm wrong)
If they don't cancel it for you, you can only dispute.
If they don't cancel it for you, you can only dispute.
Hi, i have the same problem with the same vendor. I have extended the dispute ad then replied to that auto message, I think that should initiate an email asking for my bitcoin address?
I did same as you extended order i dont want my btc back i want the product want to try it.
Been 22 days and he did reply saying reship to me but still zero... but he has in fairness put a reason why the problems packaging etc he ran out or issues or whatever with something like that......... but I cant understand why people are still getting the same shit as i ordered in a day or 2 if they were having the packaging issues like they said i will just wait for it.
For the people that say never use a vendor with low ratings i disagree could just be a hater and mark it low !!!!!
I am in touch now with a vendor that i used for a decade and they say some people just mark it low or other vendors on the net buy and mark it low. Dodgy it is been around pot for 30yrs too heard every reason I have always found the old skool people more honest no idea how old TheSmokeDen troops are will just wait and see one thing i have learnt since using the net is try be patient which 22days is more than patient lol
Peace out

22 days is a fob off mate. The vendor gets paid out after 14. It’s why the dispute button appears after 9 so the coin gets held whilst the dispute is resolved. Once the vendor has your money why do they care?
No you can extend the order before coin gets shipped to vendor. Which i have done its only shake but principle. Pot heads usually honest people and regarding the marking remember its shake most are complaining about not weed or hash so obv going be marked down little bit overall on vendors orders.
They have given a reason why so I will give time for it arrive its shake cant have that much shake prob waiting for grow and then shake no idea but do agree its a long time the longest order ever and i had orders from the states canada holland peru the list is endless and the longest one was from the states usa a new record lol can i apply to Guiness book of records TheSmokeDen hahah
And in answer to last question polly they care because they go broke otherwise no one will buy from them again.
But do understand your point
But all depends on cashflow if you cant afford dont order what you can not afford to lose !!!
Same as gambling really in principle which this site is becoming abit like one lol !!!!
I have my trusted vendors on here just like giving people chances for $19.99 wont hurt BTC account and like trying this shake as some of it is quality some is chite too but its shake whats anybody expect apart from your order to drop lol ???.
I am off out now saw postie and heard him today 1st the postie too with the machine that beep beep next door though.
Did reship it said on Friday but prob on Monday as it was late i think i asked about it on last friday and most vendors dont do anything weekends so still time.
Stay safe bud

Hey buddy, as long as you are happy then it really doesn’t matter👍😉
From my point of view we all pay for escrow and by using it honestly and fairly it keeps this site sound. Dodgy vendors arrive here with exit scams that work by fobbing off Biggas not to dispute. They are then gone but quickly back with a whole new shop and it starts again. It’s a very small number compared to the honest and brilliant core but we should all try to get rid of them.
This isn’t Amazon and we are trading illegal drugs with inherent risks like you say, but escrow works for all of us.😎
I hope you get you gear mate 👍

One thing i woud like to know how many people had the shake order not drop???
And be honest please !!
Potheads honest folk or used to be this new generation a different way of thinking and its wrong the new generation younger ones that think they gangsters " Im not saying TheSmokeDen is in the category either" not yet anyway but could find out I am known well enough over potnet and can find out anything for a few coin and i mean anything too.
Its just a example of generation difference no idea how old TheSmokeDen is either so cant and wont comment not yet but he been on here i think since i joined which is a few years now think he was on here,plus if i can be arsed too cost me more to find out than order lot more lol so not fked !!! .
Seems be lots of people not received but im unsure so cant say for sure who is genuine and who isnt it.
Which $19.99 from lots of people adds up, may not hurt the buyers as only pennies really and its fking shake anyway good for cooking a cake or i made some soup with some of it which was nice lentil pot soup one winter lol
Some was a good smoke to the shake and some is total crap twigs etc but people know its shake and shouldnt expect top notch weed its the leftovers bits that fell off etc thats why its so cheap.
Thats why i believe or guessing he doesnt have a higher rating because he seems sell lots of shake but its high enough 9.2 or something out of 10, for me thats good enough rating.
People will mark the shake down too "not thinking its just shake" excepting top notch weed.
You get my logic Polly?
I dont give 2 fks anyway about it $19.99 cant afford lose coin or not sure how protect yourself dont order is my advice !!!
I will get my coin back fully too after i cant extend it anymore which i think you can extend 2 times or 3 times not that I have done many extentions or needed too think just the once or twice i had to too extend it and day after it showed up just to protect myself the extension is BUT just want what i ordered is why im being patient like to give everyone a chance and its only on here I have any issues for some reason. Why is it Littlebiggy borg??
Last orders all came this time 2 came the main ones,the bigger ones i wanted and not penny shake that could be good or bad not arsed if bad its shake just like trying peoples stuff.
I order in 3s till i get all 3 no more orders is my rule on sites.
The vendors lose out which is unfair on the genuine vendors.!!
Always one order is a fk about and a fking headache apart from last time i ordered no probs all things came carts/vape hash that was not as described but cant complain it came and was okish smoke not the best tho and usually top notch from that vendor so didnt moan and some crumble hash stuff that was awesome cant remember from who as order gone now from my page I think havent checked but was someone i havent tried before came super fast too 1-2days.
I think it might have been pistach which was a day my 1st order with pistach too easy transaction and will be back for more too from pistach as it was great stuff or DIUK or MGconcentrate or doctorextracts but all come very fast from these vendors and is lots more too that it comes fast from sorry if i forgot your name but you know who you are :).
Its not about the time really it takes arrive with me its just nice to be told "your order may be later as issues" dont need know what is the issue either not my business to know issues just nice to be told then you extend order !!!
Lots of vietnam growers in UK and they get raided cause wire up electric and then electric company notice and want in and then no answer so police get involved and door of hinges maybe that happened no idea just guessing not making excuses for the no show but just a reason maybe.
Shit happens been in houses when raided armed police etc guns rammed in chest at 5-6am why they needed guns no idea and zero in house lol they was pissed had pay for new door and think the owner of house sued them also and won his case !!!
They are doing tests in number of areas i read in England Scotland dont think wales are but on THC that was told to me by my Doctor a proper Doctor GP !!!
Its super expensive on here too is why i just like to use it now and then or when i see something that think mmmm lovely.
No idea why its so expensive on here just missing custom in my opinion. If littlebiggy charges are high they miss out too $$$ if its a high charge for vendors to put items up?
Cheaper then the vendors shift it faster meaning they make cash quicker turn over faster if cheaper means more $$$$ for vendors and littlebiggy too its all about the turn over how fast they selling if its expensive then not many people buy it if its over priced which most of it is on here specially with these gas charges and food etc at mo people can not afford specially families like fathers :).
This is not really about my order im just chatting and trying understand why the powers that be dont use there heads bit better more cash then make it cheaper ok not street level as is reships etc you have consider is why more expensive on net. But littlebiggy is highest site I use as in cost or one of them.
They need taught money and business like i need taught write better but numbers is my thing not writing :P
Turnover littlebiggy think about it !!!

I didn't reply to the email as it confused the hell out of me. In one sentence it asks for my wallet address to auto cancel but then says it will have to make a decision based on my reputation etc
Seriously mate, never let a vendor fob you off. If you haven’t got your product after 9 days file a dispute. It can always be cancelled, there is no stigma attached and it protects your coin.
Don’t fret over being a “new user”…I was unlucky with two early orders but rightly got paid out in full because the sellers were dodgy and transaxe could see that (because you are rarely the only one having problems!)
Dispute…dispute…dispute…escrow is why LB works 👍👍

Hi Polly. I disputed on the 10th day (as soon as I was able to) and while I've had a little contact with the vendor it's still not resolved. The auto settlement comes in to play in a few days but that probably won't go in my favour, but I have messages from the vendor saying he's aware of the issues around the date as others are in the same boat and that he will contact transaxe for a full refund but that was two days ago. I don't know what my next step is.
Right now there isn’t a next step mate…you need to wait and see what the settlement is. If the vendor has done what he said then you’ll get paid out in full. If it auto settles below 100% go to the transaxe page, click chat and ask why based on the sellers comments. Settlements below 100% happen in no fault disputes I.e. where it genuinely appears to have got lost in the post. Where the vendor admits fault (or there are zero comms), you get paid.
Good luck 🤞
Good luck 🤞
So it's already possible the vendor HAS contacted transaxe but I wouldn't get a heads up about it? Am I best to reply to the auto settlement Borg message with my wallet address? I extended the settlement to give the vendor more time to resolve this but I'm not holding my breath. He now has until July 30th
It’s possible there’s a crossover. Either way they are going to need your wallet address. I would send it on the assumption I’m going to get a 100% refund and then query the arse off it if I didn’t but that’s just me and my opinion. Hope you get it sorted mate..
Oh that's good to know, I wasn't aware I could challenge it once settled. I'll go ahead and reply with my bitcoin address then if it's not a 100% return I can show them the messages from the vendor. Massive thanks Polly.
It’s mostly Algo on here these days but there are still a few real peeps in the shadows. You can still use the transaxe page for queries and problems but I’m guessing responses might not be as quick as in the past, perhaps they are. I’m pretty sure that Biggas placing genuine and honest disputes are rarely disappointed. I am talking from my own experience here, I was offered 50% once because I was a noob but I challenged it and they very politely changed it to 100%👍

OK, so, long start short - took a punt on some super cheap weed ($8 p/g). 3 weeks, still hasn't arrived. Vendor hasn't been online since.
I'm actually not bothered about the money but after 5 unreplied messages I feel aggrieved at the shoddy customer service.
I'm currently disputing it but am concerned about the reputational damage of actually completing the dispute? Any biggers with any words of advice? Ta

The “reputation “ thing is nonsense. LB takes 10-15% off vendors and part of that funds escrow, and escrow is why LB works. There is absolutely no reason not to get your coin back when it’s a dodgy vendor and you are nuts not to do it because it also flushes dishonest vendors off the site if they haven’t run already. Don’t forget if they get away with it and make some money they’ll just be back with a different name- we have to stop them getting the money!

Agree that good comms solves everything, but comms have to work both ways. Top vendors have great comms, no comms= dispute.
Literally, any comms at all and I wouldn't even have considered the dispute, for the amount of cash involved. Its a shame as 99% of the vendors on here, in my experience, are great
You are totally correct, nearly all the vendors on here are honest and a lot are solid gold. But we have to flush out the shitters because when they get away with it they just keep coming back for more👍
It’s worth remembering that there are a lot less vendors on here than it appears…in the same way that there a lot less Biggas 😵💫

The fact it takes two weeks is a piss take, just sayin.
Many vendors make it quite apparent they're not reliable.
I miss transaxe support, least it was someone in charge you could talk to.
Also pound to the dollar is screwed right now, thankfully some vendors are having price cuts.
Must say tho, amazing choice these days, i've been selling up my small business and mourning the loss with LB purchases lol, no regrets.😊💚

If you dispute you'll win but it'll take 2 weeks, is it really worth it, it has effect on your rep just like the voting system.
I'm down $20 with Scoobies, no way i'm disputing that.

Sorry BB but that some bollocks right there buddy. See my reply to Johnny but if you let vendors rip you off to save your “rep” you are helping them fleece this site. How many times do you think the same vendors pop up under different names?

legalisation edges closer...
so what bring you here if i may ask?
I like a bet and i had a nibble a while back at 5/1 legalization by 23.59pm of Dec 31st 2025 in the uk. At one point the same date of 2025 was 13/8 which makes legalization still 2nd fav but that price of 13/8 means someone in a suit somewhere thinks it has a chance. Also the sale of UK licensed grower Bridge Farm to an American consortium some 18 months ago means serious US investors also believe its closer than we might believe.
That would be AMAZING!!
Imagine the domino effect in Europe for adult use ...
Germany already has a good policies for medical use. For example some pathologies get medical co-payment when they buy flower in the pharmacy 👏

It does feel like this is where things are heading.
Reckon we'll need a change of government in the UK before we get to catch up though. Can't imagine this lot doing anything like that!

Well that yet another reason to vote Lib Dem at the next election! Check out their manifesto...they want to legalize :)
I voted lib dem simply because of that clause. With Tory in disarray and Starmer not uniting Labour the hope is in the next election Lib Dems are needed for another coalition. A coalition with 2 weak lead parties could get this home in 24/25. A Labour or Tory majority would end all hope for immediate future. Fingers are crossed for Davey who is the most vote worthy lib dem leader since Paddy Ashdown.
The Lib Dems are trying to ‘get down with the kids’ for the youth vote and at least some point of difference in their manifesto. If they ever got any real power (unlikely) watch them drop this one like the hot potato it is. Our conservative (small ‘c’) nation and anti drugs media tell me this is never gonna happen.
Sorry to be negative but I don’t think it will 🥲.
Sorry to be negative but I don’t think it will 🥲.
Yes,I totally get what you are saying,even though its realistically negative...and I also agree that perhaps what we have now with LB(& some few other) sites is actually better than a heavily taxed legal market...so maybe as the old saying goes "if it aint broke,don't fix it" is apt here! :)
Yep...absolutely agree! Ed Davey has a good chance to win many more bi elections and possibly a Lib-Lab coalition after the next general election,so the subject of legalization will still be very much alive...my only worry is that as and when legalization occurs,do you think it will be heavily taxed(hell yeah!!!) as us Biggas are used to $10-$15 per g and when taxed this could rise to untold levels!!!??
Be careful what you wish for. The majority of Cali & Oregon sales are now back on the streets because taxation has hit price and quality so hard people don’t want it and the licensed dispensaries are really struggling.
What we want is various sites as good as LB and plod that don’t give a fuck, and let’s be honest we’ve pretty much go that…👍👍

There's currently thousands in this country getting mary J on prescription.
You just need to visit the right place.
There's even people here getting it on prescription, you wouldn't know anything about it tho eh?
Nice to share.

I've got a script and I'm very happy with the quality. Nice not to worry about legal problems too.
P.S. prescribed weed in the UK isnt medical marijuana it's middle class marijuana because the clinics are much more interested in your money than your health.However it still works out cheaper than buying online- either the dark web or here,at LB

So you can get free weed off the .gov ok
And you dont share how to?
Ok
Know if it was me I'd be helping other biggas do the same.

Sadly NHS is not very likely to prescribe cannabis, if at all. You need to go to a private clinic, as far as I know. There's a lot of good info on r/ukmedicalcannabis
Hi Nickm. Are you with Sapphire clinic? I was getting their Adven 16% but I just stopped as I found it impossible to get my doc to change flower due to immunity issues. 3 months same flower make inglis83 a dull boy.

cleanup borg
Our original post was removed and we're not sure why?
Originally posted to the Devy Borg's page as we assumed they we're the people to speak to about developing the site, we're a bit confused as the post was removed after a couple of minutes, good thing we we copied our entire spiel due to our browser refreshing are we unable to criticise or did we just post in the wrong place?
We want to start by saying we love this site but these fixes are just needed to improve it for everyone!
As has been stated on multiple topics for nearly as long as we've been on this site the items wall is broken, has it ever worked to its full ability?
This site could be so much better, last month alone we had multiple customers message us saying they're struggling to find us and in the past week we've noticed very old and frankly useless topics reappearing at the top of the topics page,
Then we get to the wall, it needs serious improvement we've been happy to say shut up for the past few months but now we see listings that have no business being on the wall, items that haven't had sales in months, vendors with multiple outstanding disputes and items that multiple reviews and a score lower than 9/10. We don't wish to be at the top, don't get us wrong we wouldn't say no but we just want to see it being easier to navigate maybe some more rotation!
Lastly and possibly the most important this site needs a stock counter, its a very easy feature to implement and saves vendors, customers and transaxe a huge amount of time and heartache.
We're no experts and we appreciate you guys must have a lot on your plate but these are basic features that would be beneficial to everyone :)

read the devvy borg manifesto, it is a page for managing software development, anything else is deleted. use initiatives or little buggy for suggestions.
I’m sure these works are in the process of being implemented. I seen a prepare for a new littlebiggy page when refreshing a few days ago, they must be working out bugs.
We've always being under the assumption that changes were coming down the line but honestly we lost all hope now, we've seen that "prepare for a new liitlebiggy" a few times but not much changes hopefully they're testing things out behind the scenes.
They actually had a stock counter that never worked, it was before the last big update and it was removed, we hoped just to be repaired but after months it doesn't look like its coming back, we don't know why that isn't a top priority.

did you even read the devvy borg page? there is an items wall navigation project in process there right now. extending your gaze beyond your personal situation it seems that's exactly what you are asking for.
Of course we've seen everything on the Devy Borgs page thats why we originally posted there, yes we've seen those posts but unfortunately no changes seem to be coming, we gaze at all angles of the situation but it actually has nothing to do with our personals feelings as stated above we said a stock counter would be more important than fixing the wall in our opinion as this problem effects everyone, the wall is secondary as it would make navigating this site better we've just lost patience waiting for change :)

so long and thanks for all the disputes
i think they implemented this a while back
so long and thanks for all the disputes
little biggy is now using its own algorithm to automatically settle disputes and our services are no longer needed. we are proud that our general approach to settling disputes in an environment without legal authority or traditional identity has succeeded and is the basis of lb's new system. we're also very grateful for the kind appreciation you have provided along the way.
we can no longer generate settlements. if you have a dispute the way to pursue it is with the dispute button on your order page, the system takes it from there.
we wish all you biggaz the best.

had a dispute recently, just had to click dispute button i dont remember even having to give a reason for the dispute, unless i'm mistaken it feels like this system is asking to be abused?
feel a bit worried for the vendors if thats the case with all the new buyers and users etc, this could get messy

This is the beginning of the end of this site. It's a big neon sign for people to take the piss out of vendors and for vendors to screw customers over if it settles in their favour if an actual person doesn't deal with it. I believe it will be a person though and either way LB wins with the fees they charge customers and sellers alike.
had a dispute settled yesterday and yeah your fears are not unfounded. 2 buys vs 6000 sales and yet 85% to the buyer. Didn't even message me first :/
Pretty much the exact same happened to us a few weeks back. It needs to be more fair all round. No one will listen though!
There will always be some that play dirty. It happens on DW, too. Imagine being one of the sad saps that claims non delivery -.- could never be me
LB does need a huge makeover tbh, there's a lot of simple things that LB could do in order to improve it's functionality, along with siding with the vendor more sometimes.
If/when vendors send items as untracked, literally anyone could say that they didn't get them and people could take advantage of that, lie to the first vendor, then the next and so fourth.
We need like a suggestions thread so each member could throw their ideas out there to the mods/admins.
Simple things like stock control.. Boy, that would be a hugeee help, sure a search bar would be great but even a #hashtag system would work well, there's so many little things that would make LB greater than it is now.

Is this good or bad for buyers and sellers...? A fair few people were not happy with the escrow anyway by the looks of the reviews. Hopefully the change is for the better. I will be sticking to my established trusted sellers from now on.

Hey guys, I’m definitely a person that gives credit where credit is due,my first two posts testify to this.
So I ordered weed from GREENTECH and they don’t give their customers the freedom of choosing whether or not they pay for Next Day Delivery or not. So I paid $8.50 for NDD, so was expecting Greentech to ship my order that day, especially when I made my order earlier that morning, so I was waiting and waiting for these guys to ship my order but nothing was happening. Then time moved on to the next day and these people still hadn’t shipped my order, meaning they had 32 hours without even communicating with me, so I felt that I had the right to ask these guys where my order was and why did they charge me $8.50 for NDD when they had no F#kcing intention of sending the order when stipulation of NDD was not followed!!
Next thing I noticed was that GREENTECH Canceled my order AND RESTRICTED me from their page on LB!
This would be pretty ok to me as I would have hated for my money to go to a very ignorant and absolutely ridiculous person/people like that, but, when I received my refund today, 3 days after the order was canceled, I have lost over $13 with bitcoin dropping in price, and if I wanted to buy an alternative to GREENTECH Weed I would have to pay extra because that MF messed me about with absolutely no reason to why, I’m totally pissed with this crap!!
Coincidentally, I noticed a person looking to how they were going to receive there refund because, yes guys,GREENTECH did exactly the same as me, canceled order and restricted access to GREENTECH! Not a coincidence, I believe this guy has got previous with canceling peoples orders and like me loose money with the return of my bitcoin worth $13 less than I originally paid,do I have to wait until bitcoin gets back the loses over the past few days!! Please don’t reply to this message if your full intention is to Troll 😈. Thank you.

We're all shut out of his page, what i find interesting is one of the biggest vendors has just disappeared and no-one wants to discuss or speculate.
OK cool, so we'll just act like GT never existed is that the way?
One of our own has gone awol nnand no-one cares, gotta love LB, whether you're vendor or buyer we're all in this together.

My dream would be to run my own coffee shop. Won't happen for a while here in the UK for years, if at all, but I would love to still be able to work in the industry, so hemp here.
I'd love a CBD (coffee)shop but I'm aware of lets not run before we can walk and would need to start in some role to gather experience and then later look at opening my own place.
I did see a role advertised recently for a Head Grower for a kickstart company that had gained a license to grow THC and CBD products for medicinal purposes. That tickled my fancy so I'm looking more towards the growing aspect. I'm aware I could do it myself and learn 'on the job' but the whole illegal thing is kinda holding me back. I need a cannabis wizard who will take me as their apprentice and teach the wayz for me to then blossom and carry on their legacy 😔
Anyone got any advice? Anyone currently work in the industry as 'permitted' by our Gov?

Hey dude, it’s a dream I know very well.lol. Always wanted to have a coffee shop in Amsterdam when I was younger! Even went there for a month trying to get work etc… I ended up spending all my money and came home 😂😅
Almost 2 decades later and I may not have a shop in the dam but have set up a CBD shop/coffee shop and online business here in the uk… and I could not be happier!!! ☺️
Setting up the shop was like any other business… Start up money, finding best stock/suppliers, branding etc etc. The only license you have to get is if you want to sell full spectrum products. This would mean either finding a supplier who already had this then using their products… or creating your own (at a huge expense and I think it’s too late now to apply for the license?)
Problem is, is that there are a lot of competition now with deep pockets! But don’t let that put you off.. if you want something you can make it happen 💪💪
As far as the legal growing side of things, I have met people through work who have been involved with this.. but you probably need to til all their boxes.. degrees, experience, back ground checks etc etc..
Good luck with your dream dude! and if you want any specific advise just give me a shout. 💚✌️

if you have a cbd shop just put a flyer with your reference code somewhere i(even outside) t will make more money than the shop :)
im guessing a few of your clients would like a lil thc.
reference code income lasts 5 years for each bigga you introduce. a little appreciation in bitcoin along the way and i think it beats your shop, adjusting for labour its no contest.

Ahhhhh, I’m with you both now 😅 Sorry boys, slow on the up take then. lol.
As you can imagine, I get asked for cannabis all the time. Lol. especially as we are in a tourist area.. Didn’t think about the whole reference code thing! Thanks for suggesting! 🙏 💚✌️

I feel like the entire world around me has been DRIFTING... in a level of uncontrollable Insanity for a fucking unfathomable amount of Time.
Einstein said the definition of Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again. End of Story. DUNG...EONS...and..DRAG...ONS.?
I'm out now, sober and correcting(no longer sober)..asking can anyone count up to Ptolemy and follow me...?
Greece and Rome were not times too dissimilar to these
Why are we continuing to live like it's a dark age when we have the INTERNET?
Sustainable living in a paradise is possible for every single person on this planet.
But people continue to be 👇 oppressed because of the greed and corruption that exists the world over, with no path to get anyone in power to talk about proper redistribution of wealth and not dog shit tax rates. Due to said corruption being so rife in political systems.
We need an ethical scientific approach to world governance.
Simple ratio, logic a bit of mathematics and technology could allow people to actually prosper rather than allow the world to endlessly eat its own ever growing tail, creating disease and inequality while all our fates lie in the hands of a seemingly more inept select few with fingers on buttons and buttons on triggers making the ever more religiously fading, diversely and radically thinking Zombieland dance to the beat of a JOB FOREVER.
This is the sort of perspective Smoking Weed has given me. I probably won't reach pension age....but I march towards the inevitable cancer gleefully thinking at least having a joint or ten allows me a chance to breathe and realise that this, as a wise man once said., "this is WATER"...
People continue to accept things we know to be wrong because we are not afforded time to think/philosophise. Because the ticking time bomb that our world has become requires many to suffer to benefit a few
Our pillars of society are not a solid enough foundation when there are nukes around. (NAGASAKI, HIROSHIMA)
Why haven't we learned enough from WORLD WAR 2 and shit like the MILGRAM EXPERIMENT.
The people at the top must do better. And the people following the line must learn to march to A REAL BEAT. TOGETHER.
And stop looking at the world as if we are rungs on a ladder.
We are cogs in a wheel..turning over because some meatheads learned to bang drums.
We are beyond this, we need these fatcat meatheads of the sticks and a plan for getting those cogs turning in an engine. the world is a ball. In a universe where we have looked through microscopes and telescopes and recorded nature through time and space....
WE ARE at the top of the food chain, the Apex predators of the fucking UNIVERSE, PEOPLE.
Cheer up!! Be good! Don't take shit. Give

And stop looking at the world as if we are rungs on a ladder.
We are cogs in a wheel..turning over because some meatheads learned to bang drums.
We are beyond this, we need these fatcat meatheads of the sticks and a plan for getting those cogs turning in an engine. the world is a ball. In a universe where we have looked through microscopes and telescopes and recorded nature through time and space....
WE ARE at the top of the food chain, the Apex predators of the fucking UNIVERSE, PEOPLE.
Cheer up!! Be good! Don't take shit. Give
It's a relief to hear someone else articulate many of the things I too feel. I hope lockdown has given people a sufficient break from the hamster wheel that they decide they don't want to hop straight back on it.
Bro I honestly think those ancient Greeks had electricity...Zeus holding a lightning bolt ⚡?
Then someone else came along and said "I give you perpetual motion".... ladies and gentlemen....."the Antikythera mechanism"
WIND UP TECHNOLOGY!
Then the old farmer at animal farm said fuck we need to keep these peasants working get rid of that...
some dark ages, enlightenments, empires, world wars and so on later corrupt governments still have us chasing mortgages and jobs rather than making a path to become self sufficient.
CORRUPT AS FUCK AND THEY ALL KNOW IT.
That's the thing about proper redistribution of wealth who does the dirty shit like take the bins out in a society like that...God Will....ahem...GOOD WILL 🙂.

Well once I was listening to Bob Marley's I Shot the Sheriff and had a revelation. I'd never really thought about what he meant in the song and assumed that the 'seed' references were ganja references. But it hit me that the seeds he was referring to were actually his ideas and messages.
Sheriff John Brown always hated me
For what I don't know
Every time that I plant a seed
He said, "Kill it before it grows"
He said, "Kill it before it grows", I say
I think it was his way for him to say that the Establishment was trying to silence him.
Here you go, that's as far as my philosophy goes!

Their are currently two sides to every person, good and evil meaning there are two voices in our heads too God and the devil. im schizophrenic and i know the difference between good and evil but it can get a bit blurry at times. God does evil remember that not just the devil and the devil does good whenever it forwards their plan. Dont be fooled though because though my mum beat me when i was a kid she still loves me. God is the same. Just remember through the hard times God is love.
Jesus believed in reincarnation just like budda but it was taken out the final bible. ive seen him in the flesh so i know its true but the question is how does it work.
well i saw him after finishing some super strong ammo so maybe the cannabis is connected, its definitely has something to do with miracles because i did my first miracle that same day.

As a society, why do we spend so much time preserving our past, instead of planning our future?
Without preserving history there would be no culture, no community, nothing to bond over, we’d just be people on an island living together with no past. As humans we only live for so long, without preserving our pasts in a few hundred years they’d be forgotten completely. By preserving our past we our able to plan our future by learning from past mistakes. I’m more hungover than stoned right now so sorry if my comment isn’t quite spiritual 😂

got some bud a few days ago that looks decent, and initially on opening the pack i was very happy, some of the loudest weed i've had for ages it was absolutely stinking the whole house out straight out the pack, initially i thought this amount of terps was strange for how overly dry the weed was!
first few joints it smoked decent, tasted very gassy but wasn't the cleanest burn
after waking up the next day i stuck my nose in the jar and noticed the smell had COMPLETELY gone and i mean all of the terps, all i could smell was just a faint bit of dried hay which is what most overly dry weed smells of, and smoking it now it tastes of absolutely fuck all there's 0 smell or taste to it anymore
No i havent got covid my sense of smell is working fine all my other weed tastes and smells fine, its not the jar it was stored in which was airtight and stored in a cool dark place, so has anyone had this happen to them and do you think it could have been fake terps sprayed onto the weed? i keep hearing people mentioning sprayed weed again lately and this is so strange its the only thing i could think it would be?

Rinsed weed is the latest way they've found to ruin green.. sounds like it's either bang average low THC with artificially added terpenes for the taste and smell - for example all these vague hazes especially from holland - or another one is to spray green that's already been drained of its THC through extraction. Best case scenario there you're looking at sand, glass, silica etc worst case artificial cannabinoids are effectively spice. Saw you posting about one of the various new faces popping up here I'd shop wisely and stick with trusted OGs, can't even buy weed without suspicion these days. Seen this in London about 10 years back and seen 2 different ones in NI in the last year so you're not the only one mate

Don't Accept 50% Refunds
They are a darknet thing and help enable the selective scamming that prevails there. Biggy don't play that shit.
If your order doesn't arrive and the seller offers anything less than a reship or full refund make a dispute right away. You will get a better settlement and you will expose a problem, that's how we stay healthy.

There seems to be some confusion here, please accept our responsibility and apology for this.
We generally do not take seller terms into account, instead we base resolution on the reputation of each party.
We generally do not take seller terms into account, instead we base resolution on the reputation of each party.
We don't know what the field is for but there are terms other than refunds and those would not conflict with escrow claims.
For instance you could say buyers must be from a same day delivery area to expect same day delivery. This would set an expectation and save a lot of misunderstanding for everyone.
This kind of expectation would not be in conflict with the reality that claims we process are based on reputation, not a sellers refund policy.

Thanks for the the reply, I just got a 3g reship after 7g went missing. Thankfully the order is till sitting there, so we'll see how good my reputation is. I was just going with the 'I won't be ordering off then any more'
I haven't had to use Escrow yet after many orders but I've always used special delivery post to avoid as many issues and conflicts as possible.
can you look at my hashtag order then please?

thanks Pac, do I just leave in dispute then??
its been over a month and of course still nothing from the "resend".

sorry, I've never had to do this before so no idea what happens 😢

how do you dispute if they sent you something else? He advertised Cali and sent bunk UK haze thats not even good haze. How can I dispute that?
…
Surely you miss understand the concept of Terms and Conditions?
Each vendor has there own terms and conditions of service.
Some offer a full reship, some offer 50%, some don't offer any reships.
If the vendor clearly states any of these terms. It removes escrow terms for a full refund!
I would highly suggest you read any terms or conditions set out by each vendor
I've never been a dark web vendor, nor will I ever be!
What utter shit information to give

I have clearly in my T&C's that I would be contacted before a dispute or negative rating and in my first week I was trolled and marked a 1/10.... The messed up thing is this troll thought I was another user and broke my conditions. However admin for Little Biggy have let it stand... Really frustrating as a new vendor.

Yeah sorry dude, you will need to ride that review out based on how the LB system works. It can be really hard for a new vendor to get established on here and there does occasionally seem to be shenanigans regarding review bombing ongoing on the site for ages now. Oh and 420 is wrong escrow overrides all terms based on vendor and purchaser rep

Transaxe costs
I've been selling for a wee while on LB now, and would like to get my Transaxe costs down to the 5.85% fee. Could someone advise me on what code for which token I need to use in my Transaxe account to achieve this? Cheers, and good health.
its if you brought the client in from a referral link when they registered for little biggy. everything you do with them is at 5.85% instead of 9.85%. you also get a referral fee every time they buy with someone else kitty.

Bitpanda screwed thread
Is bitpanda still fucked for smaller transactions? It seems they have a minimum transaction threshold going.
If you have a small amount locked up by minimum transactions or crazy fees you can:
1 leave it in there as a small investment for a future purchase or two.
2 add more to it to then move all your coins to a wallet with no minimums and better control over fees.
The busiest times and highest fees on the btc network are when the price is going up. If you are holding a little while this is happening you are covering the fees with your gains.

im not sure how the exchanges play this but minimums on the blockchain and fees for that matter are a function of how many inputs are involved.
if your wallet is an accumulation of small amounts of bitcoin (like change in a pocket) thats a lot of inputs and it can make a transaction infeasible when fees are high.

That’s because it’s BTC, it’s simply NOT a transaction payment, never will be, never have been… The minimum is not £120 for Alts.

Mirtazapine?
What's her experience been like with CBD?

Mirtazapine?
Howdy Y'all!
I've seen some really good responses on LB to peoples questions about Dr prescribed meds so thought it worth chucking this out there...
My Missus has just been prescribed with Mirtazapine which is supposed to be to help manage pain (mainly from Fibromyalgia and a couple of other ailments) but also to aid with depression.
She was taken off of a previous medication that shed been on and off of for years prior - cant remember the name.
I've been instructed to keep an eye on her whilst she's on this particular one.
Anyone have any experience of Mirtazapine themselves?
Had a quick goosey ganders on the land of the interweb but its kind of generic.
I'm lucky enough to have had very, very little experience with prescribed meds so any pointers or advice will be greatly received and much appreciated!

Hey bud. So i was on mirtazapine for about a year as was not do so good on citalopram. The mirtazapine choice worked for me as i was on a prescribed withdrawl from diazepam (valium) which took ages and was awful. The theory was mirtazapine before bedtime knocks you right out, and insomnia had been a problem for me in the lead up. I did feel a bit dozy the next morning, but significantly improved sleep did help my mood. Also i was able to achieve a full withdrawl from the benzos at the end of 2018. Shortly after that i came off the mirtazapine too. I dont like pills as a long term solution. For me exercise, sleep, good food (and herb) is the key to a happy life. Short term then sometimes assistance is definitely required, I hope she gets on ok with them. No driving or anything like that, and definitely no alcohol she will be so sick. Best wishes

Hi there,
I have been taking mirtazepine for about 18 months - just weening off it - which has been pretty easy. I was prescribed it for depression and sleep loss due to a break-up with the mother of my child. Other AD's didn't work for me as they made me quite hyper and buzzing, but Mirt did and it was subtle in it's effect but very helpful for my problems. I started on 15mg but soon went up to 45mg and generally slept pretty good which in turn helped improve my mood. I did notice it started to be less effective after about 6-8months. I am pretty much off it now only taking an 8th of the tablet but I still believe I'm getting some small benefit. I can honestly say I felt no adverse side effects, I felt 100% the same just slept better and felt less down so I recommend it based on my experience. I wish you and your partner all best with this. Sending you positive vibes. XXXXXX

Hi there,
I don’t know about pain but I took mirtazipine for severe depression and insomnia a good few years ago. They said to take it before bed because it proper zonks you out! Just solid sleep...and I remember i never dreamt when I was on it and I really missed that. Remember waking up feeling zombified but that did subside over time. Also. Weight gain. I was eating a lot at the time to make myself feel better but I seemed to balloon quickly while on this. As time went on and my depression improved, I exercised more and ate better and some of the weight came off (exercise might not be an option for your missus, so take this into account).
Everyone responds differently to meds and she might be lucky and have no side effects. Only time will tell.
I prefer citalopram or sertraline for depression as I feel more ‘human’ on them and less like a zombie but at the time, the old’ depression was severe and it definitely helped me get out of it.
Hope she finds something that works for her 👍

Mirtazapine is one of the sketchiest meds I've interacted with. They're the same things they put all the old people in nursing homes on. If taken in the day time they will have a zombie type effect. If mixed with alcohol they can really sedate the urge to breathe which can be pretty dangerous. Over time they'll chip away at a person's humanity, goodbye thoughts and feelings. Don't recommend them at all to anyone. I've had a lot of experience with a lot of things. If prescription meds are totally required for pain relief, I'd recommend a very small amount of diazepam (like an 8th of a pill or less) mixed with/taken at the same time as one or two drops of a full/broad spectrum CBD oil. Then it's time for a high dose of CBD. Try to get hold of a high CBD content smokable like CBD wax or hash, I can send you to a good site to get that from if needed. But as for Mirtazapine, my advice would be to keep away
Yes I use hALF sometime instead of a full like usaual just remember to not binge eat two loaf of hovis medium slice and remember to excise as I find weight gain but I excise a lot so don't know. I sometimes get angry burst but controlled ones, but remembering this is just my experience. other than that Good therapy take care
It’s addictive and will mess your mind and body up. Stay clear of ssri meds and sdri medicine if you value your health and sanity
Personally, my thoughts exactly but not my health issue so I can’t make that choice but I do agree and thank you for your feedback.
Take a peek and good luck.

She uses CBD in part and she does occasionally smoke my grade. But unfortunately she does need some doctor imposed interventions and it’s the docs that keep changing her meds.
She does find the CBD incredibly helpful just not on the same level as the docs meds.

Mirtazapine worked great for me, for a few weeks. but then I started to get very bad restless legs and had to stop taking them
I was on Mirtazapine for two years and I would not recommend it. It did not help with my depression in the slightest and just made me numb and really fat. Herb helps me more than any prescribed meds i have been on.

Is the Earth so far gone?
the best thing about space colonisation will be leaving nationalistic bullshit behind
Is the Earth so far gone?
I don't get the whole idea that the colonisation of Mars, possibly Titan or the Galilean moons should be viewed as somewhere to move too, because we fucked the Earth. Too many volcanoes on Io, anyway... (not the nice vapour giving kind.)
Lets face it, terraforming any potential worlds can't be an easier task than cleaning up our little pale blue dot. I know that we have already reached some major environmental/ climate tipping points, but if people just got a grip on reality, and got their priorities right, we'd be just fine on old Terra Firma.
I still think we should colonise as much of the solar system as we can. After all, there's lots of big rocks flying around out there. Confining ourselves to just one planet is asking for extinction.
The real test for our species comes down to working out how to travel faster than light before we all die of stupidity related causes... nukes, plagues, climate change, continuing to subscribe to political philosophies that are geared toward consuming everything.
Nothing like kicking back with a packed vape and The Expanse on Audible.

It isn't binary. We reached for the moon primarily political reasons. Now it looks like we may go back for resource acquisition with a little science on the side. ?
Terraforming Mars is a joke for people like Elon Musk to sift money from Americans, nothing else.
It makes no sense to build on mars, we're hundreds of years from having the tech (assuming our civilization can survive that long, it wont why would it?) and the logical answer is surely that space stations would be much 'easier', safer, more efficient and more controlled than using Mars.... which isn't even as 'simple' as being a "dead earth".
I doubt we have the capacity to ever become a truly space faring species. It'll never be like the sci-fi and that's absolutely fine! I'm with you. Fix the fucking Earth! We've already got the most beautiful planet within a trillion mile radius.
Been saving the latest series of The Expanse so I can binge the whole thing, it been good?

i think its "sir" richard branson that's sifted the only money for tickets to space homey.

My 2cents… human lifespan is too short,we are too fragile to colonise planets..the end! ….it wont be humans that colonize planets it will be A.I (its already happening) and i agree with u lot, in 50years there will be no forests to clean up our pollution an we will suffocate/poison ourselves over time, we are literally Fudged becus of that stuff we call…. …. .. MONEY!
We could go to the dark heart of Chernobyl (taking that as an example of the most defiled place on Earth) and convert it into the Hanging Gardens Of Babylon, a true Paradise, for a tiny fraction of the cost, time and risk involved of creating a single habitable dome on Mars. We are so frikkin’ nuts! (no offence Pistach ! :))
It will never happen, money makes the world go round…or in our case, makes the world go down! Capitalism and greed have destroyed this planet, we will NEVER have the capability to leave our solar system, think about it,our cars break down, our devices crash and some parts of the earth have 0 wifi/phone signal… if we can’t get these things right we have 0 chance of leaving this rock, the rock that took millions of years to develop into a paradise and along came human beings and destroyed it in 122years… we are literally “PLANET EARTH’s HIV VIRUS”

Shipping to Greece
Anyone has experience with deliveries from UK to Greece? Anyone knows how many days it takes for delivery?
it depends on the seller. click items and you will see the origin point for each of them. eu sellers generally take less than a week, uk sellers 2 weeks is common.
Thank you for reply. I'll keep in mind. Do you know approximately how many days will it take for the package from Spain to Greece?
there are more eu vendors to pick from now, check the items list and youll see where everything ships from at a glance
Before this summer and through the COVID pandemic usually a month to deliver to Greece. But after this July customs are more restrict here and held two orders of mine. Fortunately never call me for questions, just lost track of the packages. Of course before Brexit and covid orders from UK came in a week or so. Now doesn't worth the risk. Stick to EU vendors if you find one. Only UK vendors here now.

I met him in chorlton when he was on the way to his mums house im not even joking from the minute we started talking like i knew him for years, literally had a 10 min chat just talking shit, then i met him on night where he was booked as a guest appearance where i used to live in some random pub, he was off his tits then!!!

i see so much about mind machine interfaces, how you can put a.i on the other side of a brain and just use learning engines to create incredible experiences.
but what about gut neurons? thats where the emotions are, why not pursue this more primitive and in some important ways more significant interface?

Ideas are cool. But I have issues with how the system is geared towards patenting and monopoly. Also I abandoned this mad notion that reductionist science is good for anything else than inhumane profits and weapons of mass destruction, its so obvious, even the birds know it. Humanity is fcked if we dont upgrade our current use of tech and science and how we approach solving issues that stem from pollution and corruption of government, by corporations that are not liable for any destruction and pillage of resources that are here for all the children of this planet, not just these 1%, them all being mega psychos who allow this state of things.
Maybe this is unpopular opinion here on LB but Ill risk it cause Im based: I think no good will be coming out of AI transhumanist camp as it is today.
On the other hand, if you ask me, analog transhumanism, which would mean a natural upgrading of human abilities, is the way to go.

Seller wants dispute to be closed before items received?
Hi all,
My order hasn't gone to plan, though the seller and I have been discussing via messages. I wasn't happy with their suggested recompense and so I raised a dispute.
I didn't realise when opening the dispute it would only be "live" for 3 days and I want to give the seller more time to fix it. But if I now close the dispute then I can't raise another one for the order in the event the seller falls through again.
The seller is now asking me to close the dispute before anything tangible has actually happened.
It's my first dispute and I don't want to shaft myself by closing too early or the seller if they do manage to fix. What's the process here?
Thanks!

Ok, so you're saying leave it open until items received?
I've seen a lot of buyers saying they want a dispute against their name, and I assume this is because sellers won't want to deal with them? Or am I making too big of a deal of it?

There is no stigma to disputes. If you have a plan to resolve it with the seller then let Escrow know your intentions and tell them you will confirm once the action is complete. If the seller doesn’t do what they say then the dispute remains live, if they do then Escrow will cancel it once you inform them.
There is no way you should cancel a dispute on a promise, but even if you did I see no reason why it couldn’t be reopened.
The only time issue on a dispute is raising one before the coin is released to the seller. Once raised it’s live until it’s resolved by either the seller or by Escrow.
The only reason a seller might want it cancelled before sorting you is to prevent Escrow paying out as well (has happened) but like I say- just keep Escrow informed…

BTC VS MONERO as payment option
Would anyone else be interested in an XMR payment option as it would be a lot more secure than BTC?
People are sheep, XMR is privacy based, what we are buying is illegal (in most places) so it would seem obvious to use xmr
but btc was the first coin and now the biggest
but btc was the first coin and now the biggest
the more research i do on monero the more its everything people told me bitcoin was! Cheap, fast, secure and ACTUALLY anonoymous. How do we get monero on here?
i agree xmr is a more secure option
it is at the end of the day deemed as a privacy coin
the only trouble i feel with this process is that customers may find difficulty creating theyre first transaction
as syncing the wallet can take upto a week using a regular hdd and a local node
this must be done, as without syncing the wallet no payments can be made
this is the issue i had when setting up and using xmr, my coins where basically stuck for a week while my getmonero gui synced

What happens when they audit the Bitcoin block chain. Which they probably will at some point...
People are going to have big problems

I agree it does make more hassle for the buyer, but if you kept the btc payment system as well at leastpeople would have the choice
I guess hopefully some body from the LB staff sees this and might work on making it happen, I can't really think of another way we could make it happen
More secure probably not, harder to trace maybe. But the dept for homeland security has had tools to trace it since Aug 2000.
they are truly amazing. not only is that before monero was invented it's before the department was established.
They’ve not cracked it, they are able to get a general idea but not the specifics, it’s gonna be a cat n mouse. OxMR has the new zsnark tech and maybe it’s the next gen
Greenfinger has a bit of a promising breakthrough.

Is Bill Gates Getting Blackmailed?
Sounds like he was just running his affairs on Windows.
Is Bill Gates Getting Blackmailed?
First he resigns from all his boards then he gets divorced seems the boy is under some stress.
I dont think thats the deal. Its a spiel to protect their ill-gotten assets. Attorneys in Gates divorce also worked on Bezos split.
Well, there are articles about his wife starting divorce proceedings when the Epstein report came out. Maybe Bill and Bill had some fun together on Lolita Island?
I think this is possible, for me the whole Epstein saga is the biggest story of modern times, he has been dealt with but maxwell is key to everything, she is being unusually mistreated, i hope she gets to blow the lid but i fear the biggest cover up in history has already been one step ahead, makes my blood boil :(

I just bought some ‘premium’ bud and it was brown, old, no smell with seeds in it. Buyer beware.

Ratings Overated

Ratings Overated
ANYONE ELSE FEEL RATINGS ARE OVERATED?
Hey, just a quick thought. Ive tried a lot of different strains on here. Some nice some not so nice, nothing 10/10 for me yet. Understanably, different people will feel different about each starin depending on preference but also experience.
My point is, ive bought some strains that were bad, wet, not cured correctly and yet before purchase, people still rated 10 or 9.
I once rated a 8, and was told that was a really low rating as majority people rate 9 or above. (Average bud prob a 6 if being realy honest)
What is it, that we cant rate correctly/fairly and are giving bud not grown and cured correctly such high ratings?
Its really hard to then find the real gems and also affects the price, as if we all rate everything 10, it seems like even bud that is average at best is going for premium prices.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Rating are not meant to be for how stoned or high you got. It’s meant to be a how close to the description it is, the stealth and service. For example if a vendor says they have C grade weed and price accordingly then why would you mark down. Likewise if you got B grade when it was described as A grade, would you give them higher marks than the accurately described C grade?
Thats a fair point but im talking more about when its described as premium, A+++, top indoor, top shelve. Ive never bought b grade or any lower level. More about when its described as something great 10/10 or import but actually a average uk and at times below average, yet you see people rating 10 just because they received it on time??? Makes no sense sorry. Paying such premium for a "premium" product and receiving nothing such but yet still giving a 10 or a 9.
Agreed:) That’s what I mean;) if it’s described as premium or AAAAA and it’s not , then that’s bad and should be marked down accordingly.
I've thought before it would be nice to be able to rate the vendor/service and the product separately for each order.
If a vendor has described a product correctly, priced it accordingly and gone to the risk of posting it to you safely them not giving him a 10/10 just seems like you're trying to make some kind of statement.
On TripAdvisor a 7 or 8 out of 10 might not be bad, but on here it's basically a dog shit score, for right or wrong.
The rating system on here definitely isn't perfect by any means, but it is what it is and marking vendors down for no other reason than you don't agree with LB's setup, is detrimental to a vendors business and achieves nothing.
Unless everyone starts to change how they rate on here, or LB changes the system.... it just is what it is.

Aw man, I had no idea this was how the rating system worked.
I feel like maybe this should be explained when you're entering your rating.
Just gone back through my orders and edited accordingly! xx

Comprehensive reviews are like food blog recipes. Wade through a ton of crap to get to what you want to know.
Did what you get match what was described? was it quick? did the postie say "stinks like weed this" as he gave it you? would you buy it again?
Save your attempts at becoming a weed blogger for a special post if you think it warrants it, good or bad. Unless I know you and respect your knowledge and background it's clutter. The amount of nonsense seen on reddit then spouted on here like it's gospel is unreal.
"I really enjoyed the hash/bud but the ash was grey so it was sprayed"
And that's without getting to …
"aaargh where's my order I've waited three days WITH NO COMMS" dude, it's Monday you ordered Friday just chill.
There used to be a few people who would buy and rate on their pages with in depth reviews so you can figure out if you think the reviewer is worth your read. Seems to have fallen out of favour.

I agree there’s a lot of bad weed on here but you will figure out who to and not to buy of :) can highly reccomend smoggyman, Bonneville, Canadian imports, urban leaf company and had some very good quality shake of NugNinjaZ I find the smaller vendors tend to have the best quality bud :) don’t no why the. Advice is always to go with big well known vendors that I personally find very hit and miss. Rating system on here is fucked and pretty unhelpful to both customers and vendors. Say a larger vendor with loads of products may not try them all and there for how are they supposed to no it’s not gone down well?

wherever there is panic there is courage. hats off to the many sellers that weathered the storm to keep this community strong.
Unfair comment really as all businesses have different situations and end games we know nothing about. It also kind of denigrates any vendor who felt the need to shut up shop for just a few days to suit their own circumstances.
I'll be sure to remind the next self employed person I meet that wanting to actually get paid for the work they do is a sign of weakness. Makes perfect sense that.

Just an observation,but if I told my suppliers,back in the day,that "lm really sorry,but the money I owe you is tied up with these other people,but I can possibly pay you some time soon" I'd have my hands broken.
Dumb and ugly to throw down on anyone who was forced to shut down.

I had a bricky round yesterday to quote me for re-pointing my chimney. It's probably only half a days work but we agreed on £150 cash because it's a risky job getting up there.
After reading all these insightful comments on this thread i've decided i'm not going to pay him.
Instead, when he knocks on the door at the end of the job and asks for the agreed amount of money for the work he's done, i'm going to play some Kanye West, put my hand on his shoulder, look him straight in the eyes and say;
"listen mate, i'm not going to pay you now, you just need to be a bit stronger"
I'll let you know how that one pans out....

to continue your analogy i reckon this bricky has worked with you already, he sees the bank is closed and he does his fucking job rather than leaving it like a bitch.
Tell him you can't pay him because of a fire in China and watch his laughter as he knocks your chimney down. Takes him twice as long though, because he's a fucking good builder :)
Makes sense.

Theyve been through a lot of profit too, bitcoin has skyrocketed and the losses don't compare to the gains.
It's only profit when you've been paid. P.S. really hope no vendor's ended up in a sticky situation with their supplies whilst waiting for money from lb.
lol what an idiot. Vendors started shutting up shop when several of em noticed payments were bouncing. On top of that within 48 hours of a few of us shutting up payments started coming in and much smaller than before. Easy to chat shit when you don't have any skin in the game,
Half these vendors here grow there own shit so don't feel any losses when things like this happen.
Vendors who outsource items, who pay set prices, these are the ones feelling it. Not these home growers lol.
I lost loads of profit margins due to the sheer drop in bitcoin value while waiting patiently for my bitcoin so I could cash it out before any more losses or even exchange to a stable coin.

occulus quest2?
started topic
it's a new medium to explore on its own terms. it doesn't beat the old platforms on much yet but it has it's own magic to enjoy.
It's a game changer in every sense of the word, go for it and make a new fb account - I agree with Jonny's point.
Think the technology is awesome and some of the games coming out look class. Only issue I have is with Facebook. Stories like this make me think twice about investing https://theconversation.com/facebooks-virtual-reality-push-is-about-data-not-gaming-145730.
the usual facebook data suck plus the don't leave the store with this item even after you pay for it hustle.
Got one at Christmas, and to a kid who grew up in the 80s and has been promised VR since the early 90s, it's a dream come true. they are amazing pieces of kit for the price tag, and if you can link it up to a powerful enough pc, the games are an incredible experience. That said, the games that run on it natively can be excellent too, and by far the standout for me is SuperHot:VR. such a simple game, but so bloody brilliant and an easy way to live out your childhood fantasies of slow motion shoot outs and action scenes!
Hi I love my original quest. modded it to the frankenquest. yet to use my quest link cable. and use my PC to have more fun. not used it while stoned. but i will. my son in law has the HTC VIVE. but the quest gives you more freedom. imho. best wishes Gaz
The only VR headset I've tried is The Oculus Quest 1. I thought it was really cool tbh however I didn't think the technology was quite there yet, the screens seemed a bit low res to me and it felt like the refresh rate needed to be upped. Which maybe there have been upgrades to the new models but Imma hold on till they got 8K screens in each eye, now that would be next level immersion ;) Also the oculus quest is without a doubt the most uncomfortable thing I've ever had on my face... seriously it's pretty awful lol

5 ways to short bitcoin
Yes, you can margin trade crypto on a fair few big platforms... Binance is one of the better ones, but you are best doing a bit of homework first.
Trading Crypto is a strange game, most of the big coins mimic each other... I can overlay BTC /ETH and Lite coin charts and see that they move in near perfect sync up and down most of the time, often taking their lead from BTC. Never has a saying been more appropriate - trend is your friend-
Follow the trend, get in and out taking small bits and you’ll make money.

bitcoin simply functions as a cartel, there's rent to be collected when you can corner a good piece of the market and that's exactly what the mining groups do.
use bitcoin and you are a subject of the miners and their self interest. once the market reached trillions in usd it became a billion dollar business just to sit on your ass and play games with capacity. This is the definition of malignant monopoly power.

Capacity limitations are baked into the bitcoin protocol. There have been opportunities to improve capacity but guess who controls the protocols?
This limit to how many btc is done on purpose obviously. And they have done it with certain projections in mind.
So when more than 45% of btc is in the wallets of 1% it starts to become a huge tool for manipulation and surveilance.

daily reminder that literally every person using this site wether it be buyers or sellers are demanding the use of a more stable crypto currency, at this point bitcoin fees are way beyond reasonable and the price is just too unstable!
Surely the powers that be on LB recognise this and are noticing less transactions through the site, absolutely everyone will benefit from a change to a more suitable form of crypto, still waiting on some form of response from one of the borgs considering this issue has been raised at least a hundred times now, and often raised by vendors too!
This subject should be pinned to the top of the topic wall untill it is sorted.

Transaxe says litecoin is awaiting approval from the dev team. So probably just another 6 months or so to wait lol :P
Could still use more accurate prices too, I wonder how many decimal places we'll get with LTC? haha

oh bloody hell finally that's the first bit of positive news i've heard relating to this lol! but yeah litecoin couldn't arrive any sooner on here! with each week that goes by we all literally piss money into thin air when dealing with these absurd BTC fees, it's punishingly depressing when you actually think about how much BTC has just gone from your wallet into thin air, worse than bloody VAT lol
absolutely agree on the more accurate prices too, struggling to understand what's so difficult about adding an extra decimal place.

it's only depressing if you didn't hold a little bitcoin. i put in a couple hundred quid last year and it's all i needed for 6 100USD orders over the last year.
that said i really think the bitcoin miners like the way things are. the protocol needs more decentralisation hard coded in and i can't see how a cartel like bitcoin will do this quickly.

I hold a LOT of bitcoin but hey guess what? It’s gone down in value like yours will have done.
And really 6 times a year? A lot of users here are once or twice a month.
Besides, offering other payment options makes perfect business sense, why put all your eggs in one basket. That’s asking for trouble.

Once again Iv ordered weed as the picture looked v good, what turned up was what was pictured but a hell of a lot older.
Should vendors update product pics as their product degrades?
I think yes, as what you see in the pic should be what you actually get otherwise there is something called false advertising, and vendors get upset about bad reviews.
Oh Really!

NAH SAME ISSUES AS BTC SO WHAT'S THE POINT. MONERO ISN'T THAT HARD TO FIND, THE BIGGEST DW SITES RUN IT AND THEY WOULDN'T HAVE GONE XMR EXCLUSIVE IF IT WAS SO DIFFICULT TO ACQUIRE. HOWEVER I UNDERSTAND THE BARRIERS TO ENTRY HERE ARE LOWER SO THAT KINDA RULES OUT MONERO UNFORTUNATELY.

How Are Negative Interest Rates Possible?
It's possible that technology is making everything so much cheaper that the market expects money to be able to buy more in the future. So deflation.

{Economics}
How Are Negative Interest Rates Possible?
Why would anyone loan money and expect less back?
It's possible that technology is making everything so much cheaper that the market expects money to be able to buy more in the future. So deflation.
Don't think so, manufacturing is cheaper as time passes but products are also more complex. Indeed you can buy a mobile phone now at 1/10 of the price of 20 years ago, but who want it now?
It’s basically a way that central banks control the supply of money. When times are bad and banks are holding onto their money; the central bank sets negative interest rates - this means banks are charged money to keep it with the BOE; this makes them more likely to dish out loans to us plebs;
When times are good and there’s a possible economic bubble, the rates are high to stop banks lending stupidly;
Either way we get screwed at the end of it

Because knowing you will lose 2% is better than not knowing how much you will lose. It’s a billionaire problem, I wouldn’t worry yourself about it;)
it either means the value of the money is headed up or there is an insane arbitrage in hand.
Well guess who the borrower is, the same folks that take your money at gunpoint every time you earn or spend a cent of it.
You have to choose who will destroy your capital the least, i.e. "give me your capital and i will lose you 2% pa which is better then the next manager who will lose you 5%". As bigbum says if you buy bonds, like German or Swiss bonds you do know how much you are going to lose. This is negative rates. Picking the best loser. In the alternative just hold gold or cash but that brings its own problems. Gold is volatile (advocates say its the safest, you can always trade with gold) as for cash, you need to stash it and parley inflation risk?

All other reviews etc have been landing uk 1 to 2 days from you I'm not in living in space King and we have no royal mail delays hence the number of parcels and letters which have landed in 1 or a few days tops. This order was paid and completed on the 19th Feb
Original order placed on the 19th feb king. Never had one parcel not arrive. I've never disputed one order and i wouldn't start now on an order so minimal. I would of disputed a much larger order. I have had many orders arrive in 1 to 3 days this is now 2 weeks and still no sign of it. On my review i stated the comms etc have been good i also stated about your good reviews. Hence the fact i tried to order from you. 2 no shows is a bit unlucky don't you think after over 30 successful orders with no hassle.

How do other vendors deal with loads of inputs on the blockchain?
Just tried to move some BTC and it rejected the transaction for being too large :/
Even if I split it into smaller transactions because of the amount of inputs I have i'm looking at over 4 figures in fees :o
Any of the more experienced vendors got some advice?

Hi hans we don't really have a good answer we are quite new ourselves usually we pay 3 figures in transactions fees but its a low 3 figures what wallet are you using if you don't mind us asking,
4 figures is quite high well to our knowledge it is anyway if you can spare a few days waiting for the transaction you can lower your network fees and it reduces the fees massively on most wallets again we dont know alot but 4 figures in fees is terrifying for any vendor it must take a massive chunk of profit,
If you would prefer to discuss over chat we don't mind we are happy to help in any way, we couldn't agree more with the comment about more crypto options being available on this site.

Worst case scenario to expect if package seized UK to UK?
I’ve only ever ordered cbd bud from one of the main cbd websites before now and just stumbled across this community, very interested to get set up with bitcoin and have a dabble in something.
If I was to order say 3.5g of thc flower, a small amount (I vape so it’ll last a while) and it was sent NDD by RM, my girlfriend is concerned about if the police intercept it and it’s linked to my name/address. I’m presuming ordering a smaller amount at least the first time caught would be a fine of x amount and a warning? What would anyone who has experience in this recommend as the best thing to do if the police knock on the door and query it etc. If I know what the worst is that can happen I can weigh up any risk. Cheers guys

This would never happen lets say worst case scenario it does happen firstly youve paid via BTC which is pretty much untraceable you cant stop people from sending you things in the mail even if all of that did happen and you did get arrested (which you wont) 1. They would have absolutely 0 evidence to prove you ordered and paid for such item and 2.The police have far more concerns than to intercept a parcel being sent to you that contains a mere 3.5g , Hope this helped, order in confidence my friend.
Appreciate the reassurance - since asking this I just went ahead and ordered (after figuring out BTC) and received some flower and all is good, I'm happy to have found this community!
Hey dude. Glad you got it all sorted out, sounds good. I'm new here, but I'm liking it.. Do you mind me asking if you're British and if so did you buy from a US vendor or UK? Seeing a lot of US ones. Gotta work out how to get bitcoins next, do you need a wallet?? And what the hells a wallet?? Nice talking to you dude.
It doesn't matter how nice or how scary the cop is. It doesn't matter what they say to you. You politely say nothing. You are surprised, dumbfounded and very polite. That's it.
The only reason to talk to you is to investigate, anything you say will be researched in an attempt to disprove it or find something interesting. Even if this is not you and is instead your seller you are now a pawn and will be played as such; this can be have worse than being the target of an investigation of buying yourself cannabis.
Remember it's entirely plausible that someone sent this package to you and it's impossible to disprove. Let them reach this conclusion so they can move on to something more interesting to work on.

Worst case scenario... deny EVERYTHING! If you admit ordering. Herb most likely a warning if a small amount. But if you deny it they gots to Prove it was you who ordered it. Wouldn’t be worth their while for small amount.
Hey, I just found this thread and it might worried me a bit... I'm currently waiting for 2 orders. Hope it helps https://littlebiggy.org/link/Z9fIDV
I have a friend who was ordering bulk from another site. The police landed to his door one week said they knew what was going on and gave him a verbal warning which gets cleared from your record after a year so 12 months later he started again!! The confiscation was the worst part of his interaction.

Patents Are Immoral
The EpiPen Debacle reminded me of this, basically the argument is that invention is discovery of what is out there waiting in a very public kind of realm of intelligence.
the only thing i like about patents is it helps establish intellectual property that can help an individual inventor. theyre fucked in the corporate legal system without it.
that said if they held a crypto key that controlled or sanctioned its use it would be a better system.

A patent is only worth having if you have the money to defend yourself in our lovely legal system. Good luck taking apple or google to court, you will run out of money before they even get into the courtroom. Know how is more important with certain parts covered by patents;)

ive recently been interested in cannabis gene mapping how big pharma and cannabis firms are taking strains mapping it and then owning it!
Which means that locals must buy seeds from them or work in another way with them
i have been watching the channel Future Cannabis Project on youtube
This seems to be a stronger argument for chemistry which even if original is only a few steps away from nature.
Without patents your life would be very different. Think about all the money ip generates for the country which trickles down through society. Morals are a luxury for people with money and or a safety net to look down on others and tell yourself how you are nothing like them;) if patents didn’t exist then all your wealth would be stolen and your morals would also likely disappear when you needed money for food and healthcare or your family.
Think about where all the money circulating comes from. Even if you don’t directly receive money from abroad, where do the people who pay you for whatever you do, money come from. Money goes round and round. Money stops going round to the people injecting money into this circle if they cannot receive money because someone just did it in another country for cheaper.
kind of difficult to understand you but fiat money comes from a central bank, crypto is mined.
my wealth isn't stolen without patents. if anything i'm going to have more wealth since i wont be paying monopoly prices for chemical compounds.
my wealth isn't stolen without patents. if anything i'm going to have more wealth since i wont be paying monopoly prices for chemical compounds.
Where does the money come from to buy crypto from the people who mine it. Where did the money come from to create the structures that allow the miners to mine. Money from the central bank only flows it the outlook is good or against assets. Increasing Past earnings and assets allow that good outlook. Also how did England become so wealthy? How did we acquire the assets in the first place. Not all from patents of course but ip plays a massive role in where developed countries acquire wealth
The "structure" of crypto mining is open source, its a great example of what happens when patents are not part of the ecosystem.
Money from all central banks is issued against reserves in a reference currency like USD or gold or confidence in tax receipts.
England basically fostered trade to get where it is. Openness is the catalyst, the antithesis of patents.

Tracking & vendors
Some vendors offer an option to purchase items with tracking especially out of the country of origin.
This is common sense, but there’s other’s that only offer a 1st class option, at the buyer’s own risk and no refunds or re-ships.
It’s a bigger risk for not providing the buyer for tracking option if parcels are pinched by the posting staff, which creates easy pickings for known routes by thieving posties, and exposure, in general.
Leaving the risk to the buyer will eventually deter returning customers, if the contents is stolen and sent out empty by the post staff. This has happened in the past, anyone else had same experience?
That said, customers have the option not to buy from vendors not offering this service, but when it’s a good product available and you want to buy it, there should be some responsibility due from the vendor to deliver to loyal customers.

It's often because the post office has a higher level of scrutiny for this service rather than just licking a stamp and throwing in the box. Sucks because tracking adds integrity to transactions.
Yes this is very true. I have had this very experience this week. the vendor has 100%reshipped with signed for. Tbf they accepted there cock up and add 1g.though I'm not 100% they've sent the strain they claim as it's just not the usual quality (bottom of bucket)
I don’t think tracking is worth it personally. Only package on LB that went missing for me was special delivery. Also looks more incriminating to have special delivery. Plus depending on the quantity ordered the special delivery could make a significant percentage of your weed expenditure. If buying 8ths or qs. I mean do one in ten of your packages go missing if untracked and all of them make it if tracked. And it depends on the vendor because plenty would re send if lost in the post , even if untracked
Really appreciate the input from you guys on this.
Can you suggest which vendors that re send a lost package?
It makes it tougher ordering outside uk, more at risk to the robber postie.
A vendor confirmed that brexit is also delaying drops significantly for Europe.

Just follow my golden rule. Only order if rating is 9.6 or above. But I think most vendors only would resend if domestically ordered.

btc is the slowest Blockchain to evolve and if people have an easy way to use a better coin they will.
para-chains make this happen.
para-chains make this happen.
BTC will go down, but only because that's what btc does.. it goes up and it goes down. Ultimately it will continue to grow, 100k, 300k, 1m. It is the OG currency and wildy recognised as the best way to store value

pabloDaveyRonaldSweetdreamsStickyfingers
As many have attested to pabloDaveyRonaldSweetdreamsStickyfingers ad infinitum always starts as a good seller. Then he goes psycho either as a failed ploy to scam or as part of a deeper pathology (which still applies to the scammer case anyway).
We can assume he is never going to go away, clearly here is someone that doesn't have a lot of options with their IRL identity and enjoys the free registration and quick results sellers get here.
Yet no one should ever be hurt by scammers on LB, escrow protects you from financial losses and the reality of a cowardly troll protects you from threats. Quality is rarely an issue and customer service is usually above average with ronald class scammers.
There are however a few ways to lose to a scammer on little biggy :
- Let him stall past escrow release.
Don't be nice about an undelivered order, just be polite and dispute. A good seller will never be hurt by you initiating this protection. You'll also help the rest of us greatly.
- Get conned into being a con.
A very common tactic is for a seller to offer rewards to those that vouch for him. Corruptibles make the best marks of all, don't fall for this or ploys at sympathy (hospital visits and deaths are recurring tragedies in Ronald's family).
- Go offsite for payment.
Duh. But even reputable sellers have been known to screw people once they are outside of LB reputation, especially on larger orders where the upside outweighs the downside.
- Let him get the best of us.
Please don't be angry or scared enough to become a lesser bigger. The accusations are much needed but they ought to be factual and unemotional. Our community and all we derive from it is worth so much more than this. And please don't be impatient with your loving borg here darlings. The crooks aren't the only ones with a method to their madness ;)

Ronald Class, B.C.A. class they both might lack class but certainly not talent. The real tragedy isn't a bag of weed missing or an empty threat it's what these guys do to themselves.
Both types have brand instincts, charm and chutzpah if you added a little integrity they'd all be making Green Team money instead of sliming around in conflict all their lives.

Really good to hear from a borg about this on going situation. I think a few biggas where losing faith hopefully they hear what you are saying here and follow the advice.
Good luck biggas, enjoy! Plenty of good bud available from stable sellers! ;)

Thanks for the explanation. Could please be more specific om how and where accusations should be filled? At this moment there are multiple users who use the logic: Guilty till proven innocent. Would it be not wiser to have the option to make an accusation that is not public. What is happening now is that accusations are posted on seller page. That is very damaging for a vendor especially if you are new.
I fully understand emotions are running high concerning the whole Sticky situation (pun intended), but now potentially more innocent people get hurt because everybody is looking for Sticky. I love your community and want to be an active member to make it better. We need users to report misconduct, but not in such a public way if you ask me. Love you all. Mokum

There is no way for this to work without public discussion. I think there is a good chance that false accusations as determined by the mob are deleted, why? Because from what I can the mob has never been wrong.
Thank you for explaining that. I also agree with you that some public discussion is sometimes needed. But you are basically saying public opinion is never wrong. Besides that I don't think the "the Mob" or a user can delete a false accusation. Look at the link. The user was nice to admit he was wrong, but can not delete the post. In the meantime this vendor now has false adjudication on the top of his page he is selling fake products. I think this is unfair to the genuine vendors. Currently new vendors who already face I uphill battle, get things posted on their wall because it reminds users of bad actors in the past, with the statement: just my opinion or observation. So yeah, you maybe right that some public debate is needed, but maybe we can have some fairer rules for vendors around this. Of course we want to protect our self's from bad actors. But we also want welcome genuine new vendors if you ask me. Have a good rest of your weekend mate.
I don't see the need for people to complain on a vendors page if you never ordered from him in the 1st place? If you have actually ordered; reach out to the vendor 1st , you can give him a bad rating, if not resolved, reach out to the borg's and last resort should be maybe posting on their page. But for most people now it is the 1st thing they do. And often by people how did not even order from that vendor anyway. If you don't trust it, fine. Don't buy from them.
And why would somebody feel the need to down vote somebodies else his positive review?? That is just sad. Humanity reaches adulthood? Flipping childish behavior.

Hiya everyone hope we are all staying safe and enjoying the weekend. Lots of us have seen how up and down fees have become and the last week or so has been mental for fee prices etc lets get together and share the best places for buying coin etc so we can try and keep the costs down Stay Safe Stay LB
best practice is to keep some cash in bitcoin. when it goes up you make up for fees and then some.
Definitely, depending how long you’ve been doing it you can end up with free weed too. The bits and bobs build up.
It has got to the point I am turning my cash into btc to buy weed as spending the btc you have is silly.

what if we let the boomers die?
here's what im thinking, as long as when i'm burned for fuel a billion years from now there's this little bit of thc somehow left there all that time.…
what if we let the boomers die?
just playing devil's advocate here literally. and I know there's a zillion boomers right here on lb.
but we are shutting down the planet, this is the largest mutual effort in history. the only thing that compares is oddly enough, war.
in war old leaders decide to send young people to their death, wiping them out and their many potential offspring. yet the old are especially protected. this doesn't make sense in any societal or evolutionary way it just serves the self interest of the old - who happen to be the rulers calling this shot.
now the young are called up again, in history's largest timeout they will lose finances, jobs and sanity as they are terrified into submission to save .0001 of the population, nearly all of who will die from other causes within a few years.
im not really advocating we let anyone die, i am happy to sacrifice for them further than this but lets call this what it is, the story that is always hidden. self interest from the ruling class.

I disagree strongly with the war comparison - that's not an example of a mutual effort, but the opposite: it's an example of large scale confrontation. People were called up to defend/attack from other people. MILLIONS of people died over YEARS.
This is a public health crisis, not a war. And the young haven't been called up, keyworkers, carers and health staff have. When I've been out and about with my family, it's fairly clear that the younger generations are the least bothered by what's going on, and aren't necessarily abiding by the guidelines to any effective degree.
And sadly, I don't think this is even something defined by the self interest of the ruling class. I think it's exposed the current ruling class is about as clueless as it ever had been. Johnson's flabby ensemble of random wankers have never at any point been good leaders. They got there off the back of a dishonest, divisionary Brexit campaign based on some entirely different agenda. They now have absolutely no idea what they're doing.
Hopefully it will serve as a reminder to humanity that if a democracy is to succeed, you can only back honest, able and skilled statesmen. Anyone less means we're fucked if there's any deviation from their intended narrative.
I don't blame anyone in this scenario. It's a collective human failure that it escalated to this scale. What I think matters now is the outlook, vision and ability of the leaders that might rebuild for the future. In 2019, world leadership probably never looked so weak... in the entirety of human history. And in the UK, we've currently got one of the most inept setups. BUT. Look at Starmer circling, look what we need to overcome, look what we want to build.
Give it a year or two and I think HOPE will be a usable word again. The Johnson/Trump/Bullshit breed need to move aside.

Yes but the fact that people are even looking to politicians in an era of science, free flow of information and consensus building media - why the fuck do we still have the twats?
I know my case is extreme, but its not just old people who need protecting. My son is 2 years old and immunocompromised from chemotherapy. I don't fully believe in the lockdown but it is a bit more assuring for me that it isn't running rampant out there.
You definitely have a point.
The approach of "us-versus-them' is in fact a very European way of dealing with matters.
Indifference to social position, and consequently, acceptance of one's social status no matter what it is, became somehow a doctrine and a duty in the current world (if we are honest to ourselves): it is really the ideal philosophy, an ideological superstructure adequate to peacefully govern our world, conquered with its own consent.
'The old" send "the young" to wars. Because, "the young" (well, all ages really) willingly accept, for example, army duty.
It is only natural, that in current situation, "the young" are contemplating 'retaliation'. :)
I think, the value of a human life became something very insignificant.
Young people wait on the old to die in retirement homes, old are upset with the young, that they show no respect, etc.
A vicious circle.
And we do not really value human life, because we do not understand the concept of self-worth.
Which is nowadays confused with 'pouvoir d'achat', like they say in french (ability to buy). Just look at who the majority of humans are looking up to (movie stars, ufc fighters, etc.)
The thing is, we are never independent or self-made, and we all hopefully will be old one day too. So what connects old and young is gratitude.
No life is more important than another, whether it is an old life or a young one.
And no ideology or state will defend this point at all times, speaking sociologically or/and economically. It is self-damaging to an ideology or a state.
Should we or should we not do this or that? I don't know. Each individual should decide for himself.
I know that generalising (oh those olds, oh those youngs, oh those russians, oh those arabs, oh those french, oh those - would be an insult to my own intelligence.
A boomer is different from another boomer. And i am a survivor and want my children to be survivors too.
I may be never be in a position where i can decide on a broader scale of "should we or should we not".
But i can decide on my personal level and i just value life more than i value my ego.
Here is my humble opinion.
Thank you for being brave and raising this point.
It is important to discuss without fear to offend.
That is what freedom of speech is no?

Very thoughtful post (what a pleasure to read this instead of another sycophantic review), thank you for it my bigga.
I'm going to differ on one point. I think the perceived value of life is heading up and pretty much always has.
We are in the midst of the greatest human sacrifice for the least number of lives (in relative terms) ever.
Today's wars kill fewer in total than we lost in a week in WW1 or 2.
Murder rates are way down compared to history.
The financial investment made to squeeze out a few more years is more substantial than even our most recent ancestors could ever imagine.
There's lots more stats like this, they are hard to see when media profits from perceived conflict and makes everything look cataclysmic to get your attention.

We need more youngsters in politics and less old farts creaming off the state. I think you reach an age when you start to become more selfish and want to accrue wealth. Bills and mortgages start to wear you down. I was definitely more idealistic when younger. We need to be a lot braver with who we allow to run the world and kick out the old guard. the youngsters are going to be paying off our debts for ever unless we change the system. Guy fawkes had the right idea.
I believe I am generation X but I will react anyway. It is an interesting discussion and I understand the thought behind it. The biggest issue I have with your statement is: what makes you think that older generations are not impacted by lock downs or other measures against the virus? Like we are all sipping whisky at our 2nd vacation homes. Your generation or any other is not sacrificing more then any other generation. Much love to you all
Probably fair to say they're not going to pay the bills incurred and they're not having their careers snuffed out before they've begun, they're overwhelmingly locked down in better circumstances than the young.
I'm Gen X and thanking my lucky stars I'm not still in hospitality and shared accommodation.
I'm Gen X and thanking my lucky stars I'm not still in hospitality and shared accommodation.
I'm not old (38) and I very nearly got axed by COVID. I don't have a pre existing condition. It's worth considering that many young or younger people with pre-existing conditions are at high risk, as are the disabled and many mentally ill people. The structures of society also make sure that the poor are disproportionatily affected. So, what you're proposing, hypothetical or not, is a cull on the people in society who most need our support. And, I would add, people who add a huge amount of value to our societies. I am as annoyed by how our 'era' turned out as anyone, but putting boomers to death for the greater good? C'mon. Besides, the ruling class are not all old - they have children, who will inherit. Killing old (rich) people would do nothing for society. Advocating that other (poor) people's parents and grandparents have had their time is basically inhuman, or at least profoundly lacking in empathy.
Glad you are ok bigga and your message is hella important. Can I ask do you think there was a better way to handle this? Are you happy with the whole world shutting down to protect you?
love and respect
love and respect
I don't want my parents to die any more than I want anyone else's, but the quality of life for the young is clearly being sacrificed again for the most protected generation that ever lived.
Kind of irrelevant IMO because as a species we are all doomed anyway, which I'm OK with, but it's shame we're going to take most of the biosphere with us though, as it's really no fault of theirs. We are species out of control and one which is destroying it's environment. The planet will be much better of without us humans stinking up the place!
here's what im thinking, as long as when i'm burned for fuel a billion years from now there's this little bit of thc somehow left there all that time. and it says thanks, yeah, thanks, THANKS.
Interesting read here
It does seem if we were a little more honest about this we might come up with a better solution than locking everyone up.
agree somewhat, the damage to economy is going to kill tens of thousands alone, potentially more than would be lost to Covid, but perhaps not (Not an expert by any means). I invite people to look at how many people died on average each 2010-2015 due to austerity measures and debt. Suicides will go up to.
Im in the self employed bracket its truly shit but i think society will come out of this better on the whole
I am in the same boat and i like your positive outlook.
"Have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them can stop the time" - right?
We should also come out of this with as less damage and casualties as possible.
Been self-employed throughout 3 different continents and over a decade already and self-employed equals survivor to me at this point.

What if we just quarantine the old baby boomers and give them priority at hospitals, that way the rest of us can keep the world going and contsruct what they need.
I was self employed hehe
I was in that small percentage who got no help lol and im sure i speak for many...
Unless i change my services...im hoping it blows over soon
Stay safe Vik

Me too. My industry was among the first to go, About 2 weeks before lock down got told to stay at home no income... Now im out of a job completely.
It’s fucked up isn’t it, I’m in that small percentage of self employed who ain’t getting jack shit...I’d work tomorrow but not many want people in there houses now
We can only hope that this flys by and we can get back to work
Some sectors have increased in number of available positions, maybe worth looking into those sectors to get some work for the mean time

There are elements that are particularly cruel for young generations that have been caused by the benefits enjoyed by older generations. Retirement / pension age is the first to mind. We all retire later if at all because they fucked the pension pot for those claiming now. Housing and land are impossible to buy at reasonable prices, because the older generation owns it all. Wealth disparity grows with extended lifespans, as the elderly hold onto it instead of spending it. But these issues are not the fault of those older generations, but the governments modus operandi of dealing the better cards in the deck to those who can vote at the time and have money. Who cares about the generations that can't support government agendas right now? No one is the answer, and it has resulted in a shit deal for the young that will only get worse as time goes on.
The chant throughout this has been that you “can’t put a price on life” which is ridiculous because we do it all the time. The NHS will not buy expensive cancer drugs unless they extend life for ‘long enough’, councils won’t spend on accident hot spots until a certain number of deaths have been er...’achieved’?!
The equation is called ‘quality adjusted life years’ and it’s frequently used to decide cost vs life. That sum has now been done for the pandemic (freaky task) and yup, it doesn’t add up. The number of quality life years saved versus those to be lost through unemployment, poverty, undiagnosed health conditions, mental stress etc are insignificant.
We fucked up. But then we’re only human....
The equation is called ‘quality adjusted life years’ and it’s frequently used to decide cost vs life. That sum has now been done for the pandemic (freaky task) and yup, it doesn’t add up. The number of quality life years saved versus those to be lost through unemployment, poverty, undiagnosed health conditions, mental stress etc are insignificant.
We fucked up. But then we’re only human....
as a 51yr old father of 11yr old twins (one boy, one girl), and reflecting on how I have myself matured (lack of!) I can honestly offer an opinion that humans may be physically capable of sexual reproduction early mid/teens, but that doesn't make them adults. Likewise 20s and even early 30s. I was a selfish prat right up to having kids. Having kids completely changes your priorities and outlook, including CONFIRMING that kids are, literally, the future. So you're right about preserving the future for younger generations. BUT if adults don't become adults (really!) until they have kids, and human kids can't look after themselves, and anyway don't mature mentally til they have kids, we come full circle, that is why you need 2 generations minimum at the same time. HTH!
I'm 27 with baby number 2 due next month. My life didn't feel lil it had much meaning before becoming a dad, I cared a lot less about everything. As for Corona it's really not a big risk to a vast majority of the population. Most of the people dying are 80+. When the people who are 80+ were born their life expectancy was like 67. They've done well. I think all lives are equal but not all deaths are tragic.

Biggaz! Help an old man out! What would you do?
Hi Biggaz. As a fairly recent newcomer to LB I have been over the moon with the site. Picking DECENT weed a fair prices after having a 30+ year habit dealing with “Knobheads” who claim that their shit is great. Then you smoke it and it’s nothing more than grass clippings! Having been shown LB by one of my son’s I was delighted that at last I can choose what I want, from who I want with great stealth and fast delivery.
HOWEVER......having used a certain seller (who will remain nameless at the moment) about 5 or 6 times as they had some great product I now have a dilemma......
Ordered an item from said seller as I was more than satisfied with their weed. The item never arrived. When I contacted the seller about it we agreed that we would give it a week or so and see if item arrived. Item still never arrived so seller said they would do a 50% reship as stated in their terms on their page. However the reship hasn’t arrived either! There’s no issues with the post in any way as the wife has been busy buying Christmas pressures for the kids and grandkids and they have ALL arrived with no delay or issues from different postal companies.
Up until now I have been delighted with LittleBiggy and the “freedom from shit dealers” it has given me. I have no intention of causing trouble for anyone. Where do I go from here? I’m still using LB just a different seller who’s items turn up 100% of the time every time. Am probably more disappointed that I found a seller with decent weed only to be let down!!
Any ideas Biggaz?

Good news Biggaz!!!!
The situation has been sorted and I have received the item.
A word to the wise my friends.......
ALWAYS be patient with the seller when a situation arises. The delivery companies can at times be unreliable and delivery times take longer than the company states. There’s no point in getting escrow or the bailiffs involved if your item hasn’t arrived immediately. And as I have been finding that all of the sellers on LB that I have dealt with are completely genuine so the item will be sent. After that time we all (including the sellers) are at the mercy of the delivery outfits. Please remember that before you fire off an nasty email to your seller.
Most decent sellers are more than happy to help.
JUST BE PATIENT!!!!!
Happy smokes!!!

Communication usually sorts most things, most people are too quick to flair up, buyers and often vendors, glad you took the right route and so did the vendor, all’s well that ends well.
What a great read. Good on you for posting the outcome. You're just right.

glad it worked out, btw its not a bad thing to go to escrow, it usually ends in a no-dispute settlement.
Use escrow before it’s too late, in future try use NDD so the seller will know if it didn’t get delivered then you should get your 100% re ship. I had a lil problem where my package didn’t arrive
And I paid for NDD but the seller argued that I didn’t! Only due I was a regular customer I gots the 100% re ship. So also make sure you screen shot the order. To prove this. I stopped using the seller as I think Other buyers were paying for NDD but seller only sending 1st class which is not track and trace them pocketing the remainder money.

Thank you Mystic11. As time goes by I’m sussing out the “tricks of the trade”. As you have said I will simply take my custom elsewhere. I’ve probably used half a dozen sellers and this is the first problem I’ve had. And hopefully the last!!!
Hey. Sounds like a nightmare. Probably best to hit up escrow.
Just a quick note though - No vendor can 100% guarantee delivery, 100% of the time. A lot of issues are in the hands of Royal Mail. People dont like to take that as an answer...but its true.
I hope you get some kind of resolution. There are plenty of good vendors on LB. I'm sure you will find another to your tastes, soon!

Thank you Petitefleur. I totally understand that Royal Snail are no angels but when we have received numerous parcels in the last week or two, to not receive 2 parcels from the same seller makes you wonder!!
hi mate are they an established seller? if they are they will have defo sent it, I know it sounds mad but maybe your postie knows that particular sellers packaging?... it does happen!
Either way you sound happy to have found LB so I hope this wont put you off sticking around! Easy for me to say mind I've been so lucky, not one missing delivery to date! how much did I just jinx myself? lmao

Ha ha! The postie is so old she would probably have a heart attack if she had a pull on a spliff so am pretty certain it’s not the postie!!!! I’m SOOOO happy with LB so won’t be going anywhere else. Just using the grey matter and going with another trusted seller.
Happy smokes!!!
Happy smokes!!!
Don't be fooled by her sweet old lady routine! lol :P
Jokes aside mate shame to hear you had an issue but glad to hear your sticking around and have found a new seller! There's so many good sellers on here mate, this place is a godsend :)

Advice on bitcoin wallets
Hi there, I hope everyone is having a great day. I'm totally new to bitcoin and am wondering does it matter which bit coin wallet I use? Will the vendors on LB accept any of them? Sorry if that's dumb question. There are so many to choose from I don't want to pick the wrong one!
Awesome thanks man. Just one other thing, I was reading some people buy bitcoin and send it direct to the vendor without first putting it into a wallet. Is that a good idea? If I buy it then send it to a wallet, then make a purchase am I then paying more in transaction fees? Sorry if I'm making this sound more difficult than it is!
Absolutely Never use exchange wallets for transactions! They are not ‘real’ wallets that you own, they are ‘hot wallets’ belonging to the exchange. Generally you should always store your own crypto. Mobile and desktop wallets are perfectly fine for smaller amounts provided your device is reasonably secure. But It’s definitely worth reading up on the practicalities of bitcoin so you can transact with confidence (:
Can I ask if this has been done a few times what happens as exchange just asked to disable vpn or proxy on future purchases and said sorry can't do that. As off where I am employed use proxys? Can't disabled at all unfortunately
Electrum works for our week to week to cash flow. Its a software wallet so not as good as hardware but still far more secure than an exchange wallet.
I recommend you only keep your btc in an exchange for the shortest amount of time possible. Then keep a software wallet for spending and a hardware wallet for savings/ large amounts.
Hope this helps and this is just how we do it, I'm sure lots of people have different methods too.
Best of luck

Would killing Trump save lives?
People always say this shit about Hitler who was also elected despite being a joke to anybody who thought about it. I'm not suggesting this guy has genocide in him but he is pretty sociopathic and he will have a much, much greater arsenal than Hitler's wet dreams. Just sayin
No it wouldn’t. He would be replaced, neoliberal capitalism and American fascism continue to grow, nothing changed. It might feel good at the time, but wouldn’t do a thing.
Killing is a tool of the weak, it may seem like that's the American people these days but it's not true. They are strong enough to prevent him from killing anyone or even wasting any more of their time.
True this. Trump, although particularly vulgar, isn’t the problem, he is a symptom. The real problem is the people and money that actually run the world and the masses that are too preoccupied to challenge them. Trump has no real power, just ego, and what little power he has is only there while he is useful. Same as every president, prime minister and any other politician.
Well the virus has got the fat fucker now, you do voodoo?
Although as others have said even if you get rid of Trump you're still left with the biggest problem of all, America.
Although as others have said even if you get rid of Trump you're still left with the biggest problem of all, America.
Trump need to indicted for insighting violence and given the same sentence as the common man...if that doesn't happen, I'm storming congress
he’s a puppet if he dies another puppet will take his place no point in killing him he’s gonna die in a decade or two anyway
I believe Trumps presidency was a reaction against the years of political status quo in America and the democrats almost nonchalant approach to the last election.
It would be easy to talk about his failed enterprises, russian connections and such and people would argue either way but I just think he lacks character and any class as a human.
We shall see come November but I suspect the result wont be finalised till 2021.
I think killing him would cause more deaths of those people believe are some how connected to the killer...just remember how many asian people were killed after 9/11 with no link to those terrorists.

Lol dont understand how wrongens like you always acting like trumps some sort of murdering sociopath wake up bro
Maybe something to do with Trump being a draft dodger, (alleged) serial sexual predator, tax cheat, traitor, racist, compulsive liar and conman.
If that’s what you look for in a leader then more fool you.
If that’s what you look for in a leader then more fool you.
Haha the best leader we’ve had so far bro only reason he’s hated and receives so much hate from the press/ fake news is because he can’t be bought and he’s exposing the rest of the pedo politicians/ celebrity’s for example Epstein was being protected and getting away with everything for years flights logs filled with politicians and celebrity’s but soon as trumps in office it all gets exposed
End of the day he’s done more than any recent president we’ve had You just get sheep who Believe all the bullshit fake news they get fed daily

And if you know anything bout business and real life you’ll understand every billionaire pretty much pays zero tax that’s the benefit of providing jobs or homes just the way it is kid
Ahhaha and sexual predator it’s funny how’s all the fake claims came about only once he’s in office but he’s had money and been in public eye for most of his life don’t listen it all the shit buddy think for your self don’t be a sheep ;)

everyone is so angry
you see it every day. not only in the media but out and about. was everyone always this angry? I can't say I'm innocent. I'm angry when I see people coughing coronavirus all over each other at big social gatherings. I'm angry that I have to cower smoking some weed but Dave next door can batter his wife after drinking 12 cans of stella but is considered a social hero because he can consume vast quantities of poison. I think some of the more angry in society have learned to use anger to trigger dopomine releases in the brain.

Anger and fear seems to be all that's left driving a lot of people these days. They're not even angry at the right things, just angry, shouty, insecure and afraid (frightened dogs bark the loudest and all that).
I know it's a proper pretentious twat kind of thing to say but I genuinely get sad for humanity, we're so lost.
Time to go smoke a joint lol

I agree, I think the fear is driving the anger and the fear for many is very real ( like losing their jobs and homes) plus we're being led by a government who couldn't manage the local McDonald's! That's not partisan I don't think a change of government would help we need a change of system. On the positive side I think they may legalise cannabis to raise money and keep people happy. That d work for me.
Seriously we should follow McDonald's lead on this. Simple trustworthy servants with limited powers works for me.
what iv found here with anger is when you get poor service from a vendor ie poor weed,poor coms and you leave feedback on his page many other people get angry as they have received good service and basically call you a liar which in turn then turns into a row....people have to accept not everybody gets the same service and many vendors with have their fave clients
I don't think because other people have had positive experiences that it automatically invalidates a negative one. I do think that some members might be trying to create a balance when someone does have a negative experience so people can get a full picture. I think a lot of the time it's more to do with how someone has put something across rather than nessesarily what they've said. But of course, you're always going to get those who can't understand that someone else's experience might be different to their own. We are still on the Internet after all. In those cases it's not worth the effort to engage with it. Studies show even a single bad review can negatively impact a products sales. But if said review turns into a slanging match, it just makes everyone look stupid and any significance of what you said gets lost.
From my experience (can't speak for anyone else) I've found that just talking to the seller if there's a problem always works for me. Though that probably isn't by accident. I always have a good look around a sellers page and if there's anything that doesn't seem 100% I won't look at the product. At the end of the day you're handing over your personal details not just your money. But the ones I've dealt with have been highly professional esp considering the legality of the industry. But as I said. Just because I've been lucky up until now doesn't mean you haven't had some bad luck. Hope you've managed to find a and merchant you're happy with :)

it all comes down to the fact that everything here is organised by humans. Humans make mistakes and misjudgements all the time so you can’t really guarantee a perfect experience / exchange every time. But being able to admit to being wrong sometimes, and having a bit of patience will make all the difference. People just don’t like being wrong but it’s a side effect of being a person.
if everyone just smoked weed at the same time and it was more widely available there would be more stoned hungry people then angry drunk ones
Couldn’t agree more! I worked in the ambulance service for a few years a while back. Scraped pissheads off the pavement more than once every shift generally. As for call outs as a result of smoking weed...one patient (who was a teenager having a panic attack because she ate her first brownie, didn’t feel anything, so ate another one ?).
I can’t stand alcohol... but weed- no problem!
I can’t stand alcohol... but weed- no problem!
Hmm well the riots "demonstrations" lol haven't helped matters, I'd put it down to the whole scenario man, out of work no money which means no weed,think I'd be pretty angry too, personally I quite enjoyed the lockdown got my head down and took up smoking weed again, the uncertainty will have a dramatic effect on well being, getting into another lockdown going into winter will be horrendous, not so bad when the weather was nice, the other thing is tho of course you're stereo typing, but essentially angry people will pretty much always be angry and positive uplifting happy people will generally be happy, will all have our off days, perhaps the angry will become happy again post corony
I agree. I have noticed that few people have much patience for others any more, and it wasn’t as bad as this a couple of years ago. I mean, it’s hard to recognise whether people are smiling or not with these crappy masks. I’m not saying we shouldn’t wear them because I’m well aware of my lack of expertise on the virus... but wow, the impact on our brains is massive.
recognizing this is what they call step 1. thanks, that's the hardest step for all of us to take.

Is a consensus of biggaz enough?
I get that links are the best way to keep the discussion rational instead of a witch hunt/gab fest that eventually happens.
But what if there are no definitive links? What if the offenses - like leading people away from escrow - are in private messages? Screen shots are easy to fake and it winds up as he said /he said.
But isn't a he said/she said how dispute resolution starts off here? It seems Escrow Suisse does a great job avoiding this problem by ignoring everything except the user's reputations.
You could do the same, just compare the reputations of those for and against termination and you have a decision that represents the community's best shot at intelligence.

Is Trump Planning a Coup?
Look out for a General that speaks out on law and order.
Marginalize the judiciary? Check. Shock the media into weakness? Check. Stack the government with Generals? Check. Am i missing anything?
Only question is what is needed for this. Will provocation of enemies be enough to create the terrifying event they need to grant Trump extra powers? Or will they hire mercenaries?
I honestly don't think Trump has the brains to plan a coup. But I think he's happily bought sick people like Bannon to think for him. I'm horrified by what the damn Orange Turd has already done with his executive orders. He's doing his best to destroy environmental protection and make the rich richer. And the saddest part is that his hardcore supporters STILL think he is doing what he promised them. WTF? Apparently some of them will still be praising him while he crushes them.
Yes I can never figure why white trash is so cool with the guy but I read something (I can't remember where) that said they hate on people right above them like bankers and lawyers and the like but really love the guys above that. People like Trump say fuck you to upper middle elite and the lower eat that up.
He's just saying 'fuck you' to the elite. He doesn't mean it- he's taking care of the filthy rich, while labelling the upper middle class "rich". How stupid are people?! He's using the masses against each other, like the elites have done for centuries. It's all such a fucking sick joke!
I guess l've been living in another dimension for the past year. Trump gave more than 90% of the middle class a tax cut, and by the way, the corporations did exactly what he said they would do when their rate was cut to 20%. They gave their employees bonuses and pay raises, something that never happened under Obama. My God, why don't you try to get your info from reliable sources, not the mainstream media. If you're not willing to do that then take all the nonsensical bullshit you've been spewing here and insert it into your anal cavities. I recommend using some KY. I used to use a lot of it on my patients when l worked in my local hospital. It really helps when it comes to enemas. You definitely need one.
Sorry to disappoint you, but I do not get all my information from mainstream media... any of them. I listen to many sides, especially information that each omits - that is often the key. I also include my own personal experience, and research.
Trump has a love/ hate relationship with the elite probably because he has always been a new money outsider.
I lived too close to NYC to avoid all Trump's antics, and media exposure, starting somewhere around 1980. It's not a stretch to believe that he hasn't changed all that much since then.
In regard to the big tax breaks you mention, yes, some good has come from it, but how much? Those middle class breaks have a deadline, the other breaks do not. Why?
Too much of this tax break is similar to Reagan's 'trickle down' economics. Did that work well for you?
The basic premise really does sound reasonable, but it is impossible. Regardless how the ultra rich spend their money, they will never purchase 1000 homes to live in, or 10000 vehicles to drive. But if the middle class truly still existed, they would be doing just that. They would be putting that money back into the US economy. Time had proven that the ultra rich are more like hoarders with money. That's why offshore havens, and tax shelters have grown exponentially over the past 30 years.
I'm glad for logical disagreements, backed by facts. But I have no interest in hate, or aggression, there is just too much of that already.
For the record, I still hold hope that Trump does more good than harm. At the very least, I believe that our Constitutional Republic will be made better for the shake up that the current administration is causing.

You wouldn't believe the message l was gonna send you. Definitely the longest one on this website. I made all my points with the information on hand that refuted pretty much everything you sent me with the actual facts to back me up. What is actually driving me is the only thing that really matters now. It's an 83 y.o. woman who l call mom.
Despite what you claim, a lot of what you had to say came straight out of the left's playbook, nearly word for word in some places. I don't get my information from social media or any of the usual suspects. I get it from a source that doesn't have an axe to grind or a personal agenda that benefits themselves.You can't find that nearly anywhere anymore.
Yes, l remember Reagan's trickle down economics and it served me well. You sound exactly like the left. They despise him because he did an end run around the mainstream media and made his points directly with the people. It drove them nuts.
I don't care about how the ultra elites send their assets off shore. The only reason they did was because of all of the taxes and regulations the government forced on them. Obama added 24,000 pages of new regulations to what was already a nightmare of bullshit they had to deal with. The left has always used them as a distraction and to turn one group of people against another. By the way, l'm not a republican. I blame them just as much the democrats for the mess we were in before Trump took office. They're in panic mode now. He is screwing up everything they've built for themselves over the past 80 years. Trump isn't new money. His family was already rich. He got an inheritance of $20 million and then made himself a billionaire because he does have an acumen for business, which is exactly what the country needed. It's the lawyers and professional politicians that ran the country into the ground.
What am l? You say there's no middle class now so what am l? I've had money and l've been homeless. You were offended by what l told you. I'm offended that you were so condescending to me. I remember 1980 just fine. I remember how Carter fucked up everything he tried to do during his one term in office. I can go back even further. I remember the long lines of cars at gas stations during the Arab oil embargo. I don't need a history lesson from anyone. Did you know that was one of the times that we reached def con 2. Most people don't. That's my history lesson.
I'll take my sabbatical now and leave you to your own devices. I feel that this conversation is being wasted on you.
I don't hate you but l do get aggravated at times. l simply state my opinion with the information l have on hand, information that's been 100% accurate since l found my source. I suggest you run to your safe space and ponder the micro aggression you believe l'm guilty of concerning your opinion. If you want to debate anything l've said here l'd like nothing more
but l don't feel like l should have to walk on eggshells to do it. Grow a thicker skin and get back to me. I'll do the only thing that drew me to this website in the first place. Buying top drawer flower. Do what you want. I doubt l'll ever have to state my opinions again. It's pointless. Thank you for making me realize that.

I don't get my information from social media or any of the usual suspects. I get it from a source that doesn't have an axe to grind or a personal agenda that benefits themselves.You can't find that nearly anywhere anymore.
Yes, l remember Reagan's trickle down economics and it served me well. You sound exactly like the left. They despise him because he did an end run around the mainstream media and made his points directly with the people. It drove them nuts.
I don't care about how the ultra elites send their assets off shore. The only reason they did was because of all of the taxes and regulations the government forced on them. Obama added 24,000 pages of new regulations to what was already a nightmare of bullshit they had to deal with. The left has always used them as a distraction and to turn one group of people against another. By the way, l'm not a republican. I blame them just as much the democrats for the mess we were in before Trump took office. They're in panic mode now. He is screwing up everything they've built for themselves over the past 80 years. Trump isn't new money. His family was already rich. He got an inheritance of $20 million and then made himself a billionaire because he does have an acumen for business, which is exactly what the country needed. It's the lawyers and professional politicians that ran the country into the ground.
What am l? You say there's no middle class now so what am l? I've had money and l've been homeless. You were offended by what l told you. I'm offended that you were so condescending to me. I remember 1980 just fine. I remember how Carter fucked up everything he tried to do during his one term in office. I can go back even further. I remember the long lines of cars at gas stations during the Arab oil embargo. I don't need a history lesson from anyone. Did you know that was one of the times that we reached def con 2. Most people don't. That's my history lesson.
I'll take my sabbatical now and leave you to your own devices. I feel that this conversation is being wasted on you.
I don't hate you but l do get aggravated at times. l simply state my opinion with the information l have on hand, information that's been 100% accurate since l found my source. I suggest you run to your safe space and ponder the micro aggression you believe l'm guilty of concerning your opinion. If you want to debate anything l've said here l'd like nothing more
but l don't feel like l should have to walk on eggshells to do it. Grow a thicker skin and get back to me. I'll do the only thing that drew me to this website in the first place. Buying top drawer flower. Do what you want. I doubt l'll ever have to state my opinions again. It's pointless. Thank you for making me realize that.

I would love to have access to this source you have, with absolutely no axe to grind, or agenda, it would make life easier.
Please tell me how this comment is not aggressive - "If you're not willing to do that then take all the nonsensical bullshit you've been spewing here and insert it into your anal cavities. I recommend using some KY. I used to use a lot of it on my patients when l worked in my local hospital. It really helps when it comes to enemas. You definitely need one."
Yea, I remember the gas lines, and all the crap we apparently both lived through. The only correction I will make is that one, or even two generations does not get a family into the elite 'old money' club.
It saddens me to argue over politics. But can we even agree that Nixon was a bastard with his war on drugs? Why the relentless reefer madness propoganda? Maybe for the sake of the Hurst family holdings. Idk, and I don't have the inclination to argue further with someone I would probably befriend without the political interference. Why? Because apparently we both have hearts.
My 86 yo mother is now in hospice. I try to distract myself with this site, games, etc., but it's not worth creating more negative energy in this world, there is already far too much!
I've felt the privilege of a comfortable middle class. But then I also watched my family devestated, and homeless.
I thank all that's good in this universe for the people who have helped us along the way.
No, I can't hate you. No more than I can hate the family who gave so selflessly to support me as my sister was consumed by cancer. They are apparently scary republicans... if we didn't have labels, maybe we could understand each other better.
Be well.

Yes, l read about the sister you lost to cancer. I truly am sorry for your loss. I've watched my mother lose a kidney to cancer and my father had prostate cancer and l've lost count of the number of cancerous tumors he's had removed from his face. I have to take him to his doctor March 1st to have another one removed. I can't prove it but l believe one or more of the pharmaceutical companies have come up with a cure for some, if not all forms of cancer. As they say, there's no profit to be made with a cure. I hate to be that cynical, but they haven't given me a reason to think otherwise, judging by their previous behavior.
You're right about political discussions. I hate talking about it as well, but l can't sit back and read what sounds like something people are repeating what they read in the Huffington Post, among other liberal rags. If l stand by and say nothing, it feels like I'm agreeing with everything they're saying. My original message wasn't directed solely at you, but l'm not going to send the same message to 10 or more different people. You just happened to be in the line of fire.
As for the KY and enema comment, it was harsh but it was simply me becoming aggravated with everything l was reading and the refusal of some people to take an honest look at what is actually happening concerning current events, namely things like Trump planning a coup or being racist. Give me a fucking break. Unemployment has reached a 17 year low when it comes to the African American community. Seems to me if he was a racist he would be trying to do everything possible to keep them from improving their lot in life. That goes along with being xenophobic as well. The real xenophobes are in the UN.
Your right about the two of us becoming friends. You sound like you're an old fart just like l am. We should dump the political discussions and focus on something that really matters...buying and burning as much flower as humanly possible. I think it would be a better use of our time;-) I'm still going to take my sabbatical, but only when it comes to politics. There's nothing to be gained from it. I'm removing my earlier message l sent you. I really don't want to have to deal with this subject again if someone finds it offensive and decides to stir the embers.
As for my source. Yes, a lot of people would love to know where l get my information. I've had my source since 1996. It was the reason l cut off any political affiliation with the two party system. I voted for Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky during the last election. He's a republican but his views are more inline with the Libritarian Party(yes, l know l didn't spell it right but my spell checker isn't working for some reason). Gary Johnson was just too goofy for my taste. Too much flower l guess. Paul was one of the first to drop out of the republican primary. He's a medical doctor who believes we should legalize flower nationally. That's more than enough reason for me to vote for him. Shrinking the size of government is another. I wrote him in when l voted. It was purely symbolic.
I know what you consider old money. Names like Ford, Rockefeller and Kennedy come to mind. For me new money is someone who's completely self made. Bezos, Zuckerberg, Gates... That's new money to me.
While Trump is a mostly self made billionaire, he had a sizable head start. Who knows where he would be if he would have started from scratch, especially when we're talking about real estate. That usually requires financial backing. That's hard to obtain if you don't have any collateral to begin with.
I gotta ask you...How in the hell did you end up on this website? I know how l got here. I've made no secret as to why I'm here. One word, flower. You however are a mystery.

Crap. It's not letting me remove my earlier messages. Anybody who's reading this, just understand that l will not respond to anything having to do with these messages. I'm done.

Deal! From one old fart, to another, politics blows! I hate it, but consider it to be completely irresponsible to not use the hard won right to vote. As I think I said, love him, or hate him, Trump is at least making people wake up. I don't know if they're thinking...no jab there. I include myself in the multitude that is just doing the best they can with what they've got.
I think we agree more clearly on the pharmaceutical tyranny. Notice how those doctors of old CURED diseases, like smallpox, polio, etc.? Notice how many cures have been found in the past 75 years? None, now they just keep finding new conditions to treat - indefinitely!
I found this site by scouring the internet for years, looking for help for my sister... and me.
She was not receptive to cannabis until a few years before she passed. But before that I had moved overseas, and no longer had any contacts to send her to to buy decent weed. And considering my sister's personality, she couldn't make contacts. If she was a kid today they'd probably label her as having Asberger's Syndrome. She was brilliant, but not good at dealing with people at all.
Since you've dealt with your share of cancer victims, you must know how many treatments are out there. Not just from big pharma, but herbal, vitamin, nutritional, and even frequency (Rife).
I can't say what helped, but my sister refused all allopathic medicine, using only natural treatments. It took her six years to die, only accepting 'western medicine' the last year when she had to be hospitalised, then stuck in a nursing home.
By the time I got through a few scams, got bitcoin figured out, and found this site... well, I was still raising money for some Rick Simpson oil when she caught MRSA. She finally went septic with MRSA, and it shut down her kidneys.
Something that still upsets me is that MRSA is not even mentioned on her death cert., just metastasized breast cancer. It just feels like they're trying to hide the true extent of the 'super bugs' they're creating.
I use this site to buy because I've got seriously limited mobility, and I live in a fairly rural area. I've used the wonderful gift of lovely, sticky marijuana flowers, most of my life for relaxation, and recreation.
Now, with spinal injuries, digestive problems, depression, and all the other BS I live with, I'm experimenting with different medicinal strains, and edibles. I've actually got my doctor considering CBD oil because i have horrible reactions to antiinflamitories. I'm shocked, but I'll take it. In the meantime I self medicate with herb, and supplement with his narcotics, and valium when necessary.
No worries about the old posts. I hope you don't catch too much shit from others. To be entirely honest, I want to have real, honest info., and debate, on all my choices, including politics. It helps keep me honest. It's just too difficult for me right now.
Most of the plans are made for Mom's passing. I just wish I could be with her. Who knows, she was always tough, she could still outlive me!
Take care, and keep smokin' ;)

You're right about the pharmaceutical companies. Started out curing everything that came their way and they went kaput. When one of them said they created a cure for hepatitis c, my jaw hit the floor. It's the first time anything has been cured since those early days, as far as l can remember it happening. Today is a different story. To watch that prick, who was testifying before a government committee about why he raised the price of a drug his company makes, all he did was act like a smug little bastard, taking the 5th when he wasn't busy acting like an ass. If l was on that committee l would have beaten him into a pile of excrement. Let's see how smug he would have been after that.
Oh shit! Making faces at committee questions! What an evil little turd! He's still young enough to think he's smarter than all those old farts.
Whether you call it karma, or something else. That kind of cold hearted greed will not serve him well for long!

Who in the hell raises the price for a med that went for $10 apiece up to more than $700. He should have a full dance card once he arrives in prison. Well, at least he won't have to worry about constipation in the future.
This website is really chapping my ass. I just sent you a message but it wouldn't go through. Kept hitting send and nothing happened. I tried going back to a previous page but when l tried to go back to where l was before, my message was gone.
We're definitely farts coming from the same ass. I've been dealing with mental disorder(s) for the past 11 years. The most entertaining one has to be bipolar. I never add the word depression because it's only half of what makes bipolar such a joy to deal with. The manic part is just as bad, if not worse than the depression. I stop sleeping and eating for days at a time which isn't best part. That goes to the aggression part hands down. I become an atomic bomb just waiting for someone to try and defuse me. They set me off every time.
Throw on top of that generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, and OCD and it makes for fun times for all. The Feds don't think l play well with others so they declared me permanently disabled. They definitely don't think l should own any type of firearms, although l do have an arsenal that's the envy of most third world countries. They should really worry about someone who has the same disorders, yet refuses to believe it and doesn't try to get help, like the dude from Florida who killed all those people in that nightclub. I realized something was wrong and it came to a head when l was awake for 19 days for absolutely no obvious reason, so l sought help. I don't have a criminal record as well, or any history of violence in my past, yet they think l'm the dangerous one. They're right in one aspect. I never leave my home when l'm in manic mode. Just way too much of a risk. The meds keep the monster dormant, but it wakes up every now and again.
I really would like to continue this conversation without the peanut gallery. The ding dongs here know enough about me already. I tried to send a personal message but l guess you have to be a vendor in order for receive them. I tried sending you a email address l rarely use but l guess this website won't let me. If you or anyone reading this that knows how to send personal messages on this site please let me know. Thanx!

Wow, yes, we've got a lot in common! I've been under the care of psychiatrists for longer than I care to figure out. I don't get manic states nearly as bad as you, depression, OCD, ADD, anxiety, and a sprinkling of psychosis. I mostly just see, and hear things that others don't. For the longest time I thought everyone was like that since I've been like that as long as I can remember. The feds don't seem to think I'm an issue... But how the hell I could hold a job anymore is a good question! Possibly because I'm too bitchy to listen to the voices either! I'm mostly harmless.
I tried to send you a message. I don't know if it worked. This website annoys the hell out of me sometimes, it's kind of like a puzzle.

Sounds what's happening with my mother. She made arrangements 3 years ago, but only when it comes to being cremated. She still hasn't told us what to do with her ashes. I don't want to think about it.
A lot of Generals don't like him, and twice lately the Supreme Court has ruled against his wishes. He's doing his best though...it's just that personality disorder.
They want to label anti-facists as terrorists so the whole world should be genuinely worried and ready because this is the road the US has been on ever since WW2.
Oh and US media has just admitted they published lies and propaganda pushed by the US in order to pull off the coup in Bolivia last year (lol as if everyone didn't already know). This is the shit they do non-stop and make no mistake every single US media outlet (and most non-US ones) are under their full control.
Stay high, ride it out and praise the universe for placing you outside of America! Shits only going to get worse.

The Coup would be against Trump not for.... I can see a military Coup happening in the States as let’s face it they’re far from united anymore, democracy doesn’t work in a country that size with massive difference in views and feelings, it works in Russia and China as they have no choice but I feel the end of the USA is only a matter of time personally.
The downvotes only show how out of touch some Americans are, brainwashed sheep most of them.... but clearly the States are still United look at the news, pure bliss and harmony over there lol.
I have this lawyer friend in the states and every time we talk he says something about trump or state of politics in general. I'll tell him to stop being so wet and it won't happen.. then it does. every time. This went on for a few years. I tired of being wrong and decided to just listen to what he says, nod and take it as a given. So heres the scoop.. Trumps off his nut. Americas fucked. We're all fucked. Don't shoot me, I'm just the messenger. see you all in hell. It's been fun.
On a more serious note. The media on both sides of the divide are a fuckfest pardon my french. And no. the guy on youtube or nutball ranting on Facebook is not a suitable replacement. Look into things for yourself, look up the sources and data, and assume every person of poweris out to lie and fuck you. If you're to lazy for that (don't blame you) follow that Andrew Neil guy on Twitter..he does it well.

Politics is theatre. If people think Trump is bad they should really take a better look into the alternative...
When so much time, money and effort is put into stopping one person more attention should be payed to asking 'why?'. Furthermore, if he's so bad and incompetent, the evidence so damning and given the amount of resources put into taking him down, why's he still there? What is the conclusion to be drawn?
That whole Dem/media-driven Blasey-Ford thing was so dodgy, the attacks on Kavanagh so awful (innocent until proven guilty?). No tangible evidence whatsoever. What kind of way to behave was that? Why must all women be believed, except Tara Reade? Only Ilhan Omar and Rose McGowan have been consistent.
What was with Elizabeth Warren claiming she was Native American? Yet tests proved she is not.
Nancy Pelosi withholding relief funds from those denied paycheques unless her non C-19 demands are met.
Trump is made out to be a white supremacist by the party of slavery whose candidate says "you ain't black" if you don't vote for him.
Bidens/Burisma. This is one example of how taxes are used and not to benefit the taxpayer.
How is it that China has got away with stealing so much IP, embedding surveillance into servers built in China, creating man-made islands to expand their territory, no concern for the environment, Uiygers (slavery), living organ donors, exporting C-19 whilst closing off Wuhan from the rest of China, etc., etc.? Why have all but Trump turned a blind eye and a deaf ear?
Globalism is bad shit, the worst thing that could happen. The trajectory we were on was toward a China-led World Government. With globalism there is no alternative, there is no purer form of totalitarianism. That's the real coup (d'etat) and should scare any normal citizen to the very core of their being.
The fact that Democrats and many Republicans don't like Trump is a positive for me. He's tackling the things that others just take the money and turn a blind eye to, and he's taking all the shit in the world for doing so.
Every news piece about anything these days is an opinion piece, rather than a collation of facts and sources that allow the reader/viewer to draw their own conclusion.

Globalism is very simply evolution, it will happen with or without nations, if they would step aside we might even a have a chance at planetarianism.
First we have to make it through our 'adolescence'...the overly emotional, egocentric phase of our evolution, then maybe other Intelligences will take interest in us. I think our prefrontal cortex needs to grow a bit more...just a thought...
agreed except that cortex is going bye bye. other intelligence will have a machine to machine conversation imho.
Pah, compare that to USA’s complete domination in the twentieth century after the old European empires fell during the world wars. Everything was built to America until about ten years ago. Even now the US dominates the internet and culture whilst nuclear warheads remained locked on allies and enemies alike. China isn’t Jesus, Christ the Han Chinese need to be taken down a peg or two but it’s their turn, we’ve had it already. Fight if you want but don’t become China’s Iraq, they’ll shit high explosives over you for the next 30 years.
if he can create enough chaos he can bring in the military but i dont think they would be loyal to him
Yes, the Pentagon is already watching social media activity of anti-Trump protestors.
…
So if you wanna know what’s going on in America without getting the lies they are showing you on mainstream media, go check out MrAndyNgo on twitter. My man is showing what’s really happening, he’s definitely going to get journalist of the year.
Unpopular opinion, but the sooner you learn it the better. Trump is actually the good guy. The Democrats are not, if you are watching the mainstream media even here in europe they are sugar-coating the atrocities happening.
There is no Gestapo police, or Trumps secret police. They are just undercover police arresting people that are committing crimes. Everyone acting like undercover feds haven’t existed since the dawn of feds. The reason they are undercover is because AntiFa and BLM are looking up badge numbers so they can harass police and their families members, and in some cases threatening their lives. If they hadn’t been rioting for 61 days straight in Portland, Trump would not have had to send Department of Homeland Security.
It’s basically a race war over there thanks to the progressive retards who think they know everything. Going on 1619 project and White Fragility as their bible, it’s all BS. There’s no such thing as White Fragility, period. Uncle Bens isn’t racist, the countryside isn’t racist and the systemic racism they exacerbate does not exist.

I just checked out MrAndyNgo. He won't be winning any journalism awards any time soon. He works for a The Post Millenial, a right-wing Canadian news site which has in the past had links to Russia and White Nationalist groups (a former senior Editor was found to be a white nationalist).
MrAndyNgo's Twitter account doesn't appear to have any journalistic substance either. He recently said "If Donald Trump wins re-election in November, Americans will experience a wave of mass left-wing violence, rioting and looting much worse than what we've already experienced so far." That sounds like an opinion to me... also based on nothing at all. He then reweeted that Tweet for some reason.
He shows videos, calling everyone in them 'Antifa' despite zero visual or audio evidence. There's another showing people getting pushed around the other day being told to leave the area. Those people are clearly shouting "go away Nazi". He presents them as Antifa beating up random people in the street. Where's the evidence for any of that!? There's no suggestion that Antifa is there, or that the people being assaulted are completely innocent. They could just as easily have been White Nationalists screaming at the protesters... but i'm not going to say that's what they are because I don't know and neither does this jackass MrAndyNgo.
PLEASE think critically. Why am I being shown this? What are they saying it shows? What I'm I ACTUALLY seeing be shown? What happened before the camera started rolling, and after it stopped?
Edit: Check out this VOX article about Andy Ngo and Antifa... it really is a very well balanced summary of the situation. If you think you're being (or trying to be) manipulated by the "MSM", then just remember to think critically, and also just because a news source isn't "MSM" it doesn't mean they aren't trying to manipulate you too!

Your admonition to "think critically" is irony of the highest order. I don't think you're all that clear on what critical thinking is, frankly... You offered nothing but unwarranted opinion colored by your Left-wing bias. But thanks anyway for the effort.
I don’t entirely trust any media outlet, it doesn’t mean there’s a ‘deep state’, and it doesn’t mean that democrats ran a peadophile ring through a pizza shop. It definitely doesn’t mean that the whole of Portland is filled with Antifa and there’s no such thing as a peaceful protester.
If I can admit to being biased, can you? If so that puts us on a similar footing.

Did you read it though? THAT is journalism. Presentation of the facts, both side’s view without judgement.
So you think I was making sense before I brought Vox into it? If you can’t find another news source which you will believe that doesn’t, at least a little bit, criticise some of Ngo’s actions (even if it supports them overall) then it’s probably not trustworthy.
Propaganda works in all directions. If someone is telling you to listen to them because they aren’t the propaganda machine, then they probably want to give you THEIR propaganda.

£12.60 btc fees for a half q!?
this happens when the market rallies and lots of coins moving around. if you had kept some bitcoin you'd love it ;)
This is why I have sadly had to stop buying on here costing over 50 quid for a 3.5 way to much for me I can get cookies round my way for 30 pound which does the job
Hey, I was about to get stung by a 10% fee out of my Electrum wallet before realising. Previously it was under 2%! I'm a compete novice with Bitcoin but figure out that you can change the fee (which makes the transaction slower), so changed it and am now waiting to see what happens. Anyone know why the wallet would suddenly start charging so much? Is it determined by what's going on with Bitcoin? God I hate Bitcoin!

Favourite edibles of all time?
Hello everyone, new to biggy.
Curious as to what kind of edibles people like.
Being a pastry chef, I generally eat alot of sweet stuff but hands down best edible I've had was a cheese and herb croquette.
It got the flavour of cheese (weed) with cheddar and silky potato, then deep fried in a weed crumb.
Makes my mouth water just thinking about it!

I'd buy that chocolate from your profile pic even if it isn't medicated it looks fucking delicious ;)
I'm waiting before I buy a few sample boxes because the transaction fees have been ridicilous the last few days, but these look amazing! I hope they sell well and you expand the menu!
That's fair enough, gotta save where you can these days.
Thank you for the compliments, I'll be doing my best to stick around!

I usually stick to chocolate based edibles as they seem to be the tastiest but I'm really fascinated by savory edibles, as generally I prefer savory stuff. Edible cheese croquettes sound bloody delicious!
Honestly they were divine haha, need to do some tests for cheesy edibles asap :)
Wow these things look and sound good. I’ve placed an order to give them a try. Will post here again after they have arrived :-)
Well these dropped through my door this morning. I only ordered them yesterday and was sent normal post. Well packaged.
Now on to these chocolates they look just like the image posted and well they taste fantastic lovely chocolate and very crunchy honeycomb with a slight taste of creamy coco butter and weed. Oh my these things are dangerous as they are soooo moorish.
I only had 1 so far and they gave a very nice chilled and mellow buzz very relaxing they also made me very hungry after a couple of hours leaving me wanting to eat more.
I’m going to order more of these coz this lots not going to last very long at all :-)
I think Mamakushkitchen is going to well here!

Thanks for the compliments and welcome, you'd be a great person to test recipes on though!
Haha if I can get you high then I'm doing something right
Haha if I can get you high then I'm doing something right

I’ve not had anything as extravagant as you or indeed what you’re selling but they look amazing!

Right lads, wtf is going on with this crew?!
Made an order on Sept 1 which was then posted on 8th. Am I receiving this, do you think? And if not, then what can I do??
Scammed or what?!!

Hope you get sorted with product or refund man , sales mean noting on here any more there days , it’s about the time the vendors have been here , no offence to new vendors but that’s the way it is now established long time vendors are the ones to go with in my opinion plenty of them to
No way to prove anything now they've been kicked off. Still to see an unhappy customer or anyone out of pocket within lb.
Theres high chance you'll receive it, I've yet to hear of anyone who hasn't, but that was before lb kicked them off site.
Thanks for this - yeah, it says it was posted on 8th - this was before all the disputes, right?

Be careful posting about this, he set up a brigade of helpers by actually delivering some stuff and offering incentives for posts as well as making loads of sock puppets. You will be hearing from them very soon.

This dude even set up a new account , only post pics of products posted by the buyers after they receive. Prices way to low for a circle . Proper scams. I see bud brothers got there ounce in the door but bca prob did this to get the word of mouth going and get all noobs buying thank god I stayed Way was to risky when I was messaging him .
I had 2 orders arrive and I’m waiting on the third. If possible I would place a 4th 5th and 6th
Average 10 working days for me.
Average 10 working days for me.
Well dude, I am still waiting 22 days for the first order to land (which clearly ain't coming). Have gone via Escrosse Swisse but haven't heard back yet. Fingers crossed I can get some of my money back. And remember there is a lesson in all this: if it appears to good to be true, it is! Good luck Biggers x
Prob got sized, or it will come. A few people’s packs arrived after 20 days.
I often wait 2 weeks for a pack from uk to Ireland,
Best of luck buddy
Ps if it dose arrive let the people know!

Do you know more than any more than anybody else?
If someone can ship high end weed products worldwide with factory stealth, why waste that infrastructure scamming the few marketplaces that can actually handle what they can produce?
What else are they gonna do with it?

If you've been on the DN buying from Canada it's a really old story, a little updated for LB which is way more meme friendly. The infrastructure is simply one they middle man.
The why is the worst part, they waste a lot of marketing talent, it's obvious that a real business with slimmer margins and happy customers works out better for them but their pathology does not allow them to process this fact. They see "scores" not "builds".

I'll happily defer to experience, but I'm left with one question...
Does this go down as a scam averted? Or a perfectly reasonably risk averse attitude to customer satisfaction on the platform?

According to my order history all dispute periods have been extended in transaxe for BCA only, even the ones marked as received and reviewed over a month ago.
Looks like somebody wants everyone to claim regardless.

I wouldn't fuck with any of that dodge, just go to escrow that's what they are here for.

Are bca totally gone all messages from them gone and all topics they were in are totally gone
Seems that way, no official word from LB on what's happening so its all speculation. The topics they were in are still there though if you look around.
Ya its weird all the topics that were on my main page is gone and the messages in my inbox now say there from anonymous rather than bca worried about my order now
Seems that's them done and wont be back but who knows bud . They have been contacting people with their information to message them off site on a messaging app but no idea how they're distributing it or messaging people in the first place. As you have an existing order with them, I'd contact a few people close to them and see if you can get hold of their contact details to check up on your order.
It's just an opinion,but if you've done business with them happily,I'd get in touch directly and see if there's a way to do business in the future. THEN, I'd go to Escrow.
You are literally leading people away from the escrow that protects them. This only buys time for your homie and subjects the buyer to more unprotected transactions.
Firstly, that is just MY opinion and Ive not heard anything that makes me want to change my mind.
Secondly, plenty of people out of pocket on this site despite escrow.
Is it a risk doing business away from lb? Could you be ripped? Of course,but you can also find much better deals that ever seen on this site too.
So,for ME I'll take the risk.

Gary Johnson: The Cannabis Candidate
The Libertarian candidate was not only the founding CEO of Cannabis Sativa Inc, he was the popular Governor of New Mexico and his VP was governor of Massachusetts
Fuck that man, I'm voting Biden. End of story. As long as we're trapped in this 2 party system...THIS is not the year to pray that a 3rd party candidate can actually pull a miracle! There is NO WAY humanity can survive much more of trump...especially the things he's been doing behind the scenes, while distracting us with the clown act.
Seriously I like what he says about a lot of things - like a free market for medicine.
Don't you realize that Kamala Harris is from CALIFORNIA? Cannabis legalization is a foregone conclusion with her.
Besides, people who have NO chance of winning are why we've been living in Trump's hell!
Besides, people who have NO chance of winning are why we've been living in Trump's hell!
An analysis from Politifact of data from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation found that there were 1,883 admissions to the state prison system on marijuana offenses during the years Harris was attorney general.
And with changed laws, they've all been wiped from the record since, with her encouragement and assent.
She had a chance to stop every act, that was her job and this is simply her record in the job.
Her job is to uphold the law, which she did. She also advocated for changes that were implemented, including preferential granting of SF cannabis business licenses to those who had previous convictions. There's other things to criticize her for, but this one really isn't it. California has led the way in many ways, including giving justice to people who were convicted for laws that have been repealed.
And even at her worst, she's galaxies better than the orange menace and his minions, who will only legalise at the federal level if it serves them.

I downvoted because the entire story was left out to incite anti-Kamala sentiment. Bitch move indeed. Fight fair.
A prosecutor can not prosecute every case, therein lies the most important responsibility of the job.
This has nothing to do with Trump or anyone else.
This has nothing to do with Trump or anyone else.
OK then. I lived in her jurisdiction for ten years, and the biggest complaint about her is she played the insider's game in SF to get to power. Hate her all you want, but she's pro-legalization, pro-amnesty, and has done more for the cannabis legalization effort than any libertarian ever did, let alone the GOP.

Thanks.

If it puts your mind at ease, I put an order in and it took 9 days to be marked as sent. I know they’ve been having some issues but the guys kept me informed the whole way through. It showed up on Monday just past (21/9/20). I’d say just sit tight and it’ll show up these fellas are legit.
Hi 1620. Because it’s marked as not shipped. And also I believe the vendor had indicated they would message once shipped. Order was placed on Saturday.
Not calling B.C.A out here as I am new to them but simply trying to understand if others are unable to view their page and message them.

Buds received vary in size. All compact and bounce back when pressed. It smells extremely strong and can't help but appreciate the aroma. Likewise the smoke doesn't disappoint either with a seriously strong sweet fruity taste.
Only had the one bowl of this as yet but the high for me is on the sativa side with it being very uplifting, energetic and creative.
Delivery and stealth were on point as usual.

I don't usually give scores because everyone has different preferences when it comes to flavour, smell and tolerance. But I'll give it a shot. It's without a doubt the best smelling weed I've had on here and one of my new favourites for that. It's up there in terms of flavour and carries a solid sativa high. so I'd give a 9. I bought 14g of it and some grape pie which I'm trying now. For reference since I didn't mention it above. I'm using a semi-desktop vaporiser to smoke it.

Why are Decentralized Exchanges Still a Fail?
I don't mean alt coin exchange, I'm talking fiat to BTC.
There are already enough individual traders on centralised p2p like LBC, why don't at least some of them move over?
Or is it not enough buyers?
You could say it's a chicken and egg problem but so was LBC and they got off to a much faster start in a smaller market.

How Can the Stock Market Go Up When So Many People Are Unemployed?
Nice summary of this here
The stock market is not the economy. The equity market is being supported from all angles, be it historically low Interest rates, meagre bond yields, central bank intervention like wells said, Even just a disconnect from fundamentals. Also worth bearing in mind that 5 big tech names make up nearly 20% of the SP500, which have performed incredibly during the pandemic.
Well put jarjar and where there is a disconnect there is an arbitrage. I think we are looking at the biggest short in history. The markets can't stay disconnected from reality forever.
I share this belief, but they can stay disconnected for longer than we think. The perfect trade if improperly timed can lead to ruin, even if all the other stars align. But truthfully, irrational exuberance and over speculation lead to one thing, and this pack is nearly out of aces ?
It's the same as any market, if there is enough buying prices go up. In this case most of the buying is from government central banks. They can print money and buy stocks to keep stock prices up. This buys some time for an economy on hold.
The Unemployment rate has absolutely 0 correlation with the global stock market . Some stocks prices are extremely low, and some are rallying beyond historical data (as it does). Overall, yes the S&p 500 and FTSE 100 are doing very well under the circumstances, and this is due to big banks providing liquidity to brokerage houses for retail and institutional traders to open positions, and by the looks of it traders are doing well (hence a good outlook for the stock market). Back to your point, the unemployment rate strictly affects currency growth in the country it relates to e.g if UK's unemployment rate dropped by 2% yoy then we would see a decline in the GBP/USD etc etc...hope that makes sense to you.
Because all of this is made up and capitalism constantly needs justifications for its own existence, which is why stock market information appears to matter on mainstream news outlets.
A lot of those unemployed people are day trading stocks and this contributes directly to the effect you see.
have you heard of the paradise papers...... a portfolio of business that will do very well when people are forced into debt! investers(rich f@#kers) include people like the queen, prince charles(soon to be king, which is why the family have been trimming all the fat so he can start a fresh!), tony blair, gordon brown, you see where this is going.

#richpoorgapexpansion
These all seem like good explanations but I have a question:
Has this situation happened before and what was the aftermath?
Has this situation happened before and what was the aftermath?
Has there been a global pandemic before? Yes. What was the aftermath? Depending on what point in history you wish to reference, would always yield a different answer. What strikes me is not the situation, but the environment in which it happens. A situation may have happened before but the environment may permit a much different outcome. Is this a health crisis or an economic one? Historically, how do we approach them individually? And more importantly, what are the risks in mistaking one for the other?
