Is there even such a thing as 'privacy' anymore, I think we may need a new word for what we have now..

yes and the premise of identity- the one they give you in the matrix or the one you cook up here in zion -is at the root of it.

this. your given name is pretty much a slave/serf name in most cultures. if you want to change it you need permission from the master of the day.

it really is up to the individual to care about privacy and do the work that's required

good insight.

I'm an ex professional webmaster, during the late 90's.
privacy, I have judged, does not exist on this worldwide internet thing. vpn's - give me a break. using brave and that's about it

in my opinion, that there is any sort of privacy anywhere on the colourful web is mere fantasy

there really isn't anything you can do that isn't exploitable to an advertiser.

I often wonder if the people who have "nothing to hide" would be happy having cameras in all rooms of their houses so that Government-appointed snoops could watch them to CONFIRM that they've "nothing to hide"? If they're not OK with that then surely that suggests that they MUST have something to hide after all 😉. Cheers!

been out the web arena for ages right, went to peru met a girl stayed years.

peer to peer ok vpn works. but i, personally, don't care what porn site is active or give one about your location etc. The infrastructure of the everything cares about that sort of data and, well mate, my first job was in web security, freshboutta dragon court, Holborn, london. as more of a digital designer bit of flash at the time. to the infrastructure vpn - lit like tree

Doctor Doc is what your're asking for, answers to any medical questions. More specifically there is Cancer is My Bitch for cancer issues and Well provides anonymous medical tests for many conditions.

Sure I can help. by pointing out that only a masochistic fool asks for medical advice online.

I offer limited dentistry on the diagnosis side.

It’s so very true isn’t it that we rightfully deserve the title of the country with the most people who’s mouths stink wakes them up like it’s a gas leak..
We’re renound for it.

How utterly sad.

PM me if you’re still wanting help, not a doctor but have extensive knowledge.

Maybe you could call 111, you can stay anonymous and know youre talking to a medical professional👊🏻💜💚

Came here for this 👆

'Parabiosis' - also known as vampire facials in Hollywood. Yes that's right, Kim Kardashian has aborted fetus blood rubbed on her face. This is common practice. Loreal also a whole range of more expensive products with this in it. Also 'Blood boys' are a profession. This is a rabbit hole you don't want to go down as usually the source of this blood is disturbing.

A vampire facial is carried out using a person's own plasma that's separated in a centrifuge from their extracted blood

yes very creepy when money is traded for life itself but it seems an ethical market is possible as healthy people have a surplus and all the means for extraction and testing are really well established.

Andrenachrome?

You don’t need much. Just a tiny taste.

Hi spiceX1

While calorie restriction makes logical sense I remember reading the study about the rejuvenating effects of young mouse blood on older mice - fascinating Research.

Maybe Keith Richards is actually 250 years old? :O)

Yeah and he only looks 175.

What is epigenetic treatment consist of?

Also did you know that you can slow down your biological aging by eating right, exercising right and your mindset plus environment by up to 3 times

We believe psychedelic therapy also has this magical ability ;-)

Hi denofsim

Good stuff.

Given organic chemistry IS chemistry surely the 2nd law of Thermodynamics would prevent one from rewinding the clock fully.

Wow this seems grosser than freezing corpses

you've got to be somewhere where you wont be vandalized or hidden beyond hope. at least there isn't a liquid nitrogen bill every week.

Not mentioned yet we need DOOM and Mac Miller.

reeeeeemix

You need to throw big pun in the mix for sure.

100% needs to be there, I’d put Pun and Big as my Number 1’s personally.

For me Dilla, Doom and Guru are the most important, Biggie may be the best, 2pac the most polarizing. Shock G & Trugoy were heartbreakers...

Sean P, ODB, Phife, Prodigy, Bushwick, Biz, Darkman X, Gift Of Gab, CPO, too many man

Solid list but I’d put Pac above Biggy. East vs West and preference aside, lyrically-speaking, I think 2pac is notch above Big.

tupac had the charisma of a rock star and gravitas of a rebel leader. a great story teller but not as great as mr wallace i think and puffys beats are more consistent than the work of tupac's producers.

Puffy's beats?! lol

puffys samples

Yeah. And anything that Puffy “produced” was made by someone else. Don’t get me wrong, puff daddy was a producer but only in the sense he brought the ingredients together... the ingredients being MCs and producers. The majority of stuff that came out on BadBoy records was produced by The Hitmen (featuring legendary producer Easy Mo Bee) of which he did head up but as more of an organiser than anything else.

Easy Mo Bee is a bad motherfucker and I don't think many realise his scope over the years, Always give daps to anyone that brings him up

peace

the only beat$ that really count are the ones that come in wads

Gotta love the one douchebag (Itche) who downvotes but adds absolutely nothing to the discussion. If you’re going to downvote (a comment of personal opinion of all things), at least add to the discussion by posting your own opinion why you disagree.

I don't think downvoting a post when you're too busy to reply makes you a douchebag. Ease up a bit man, a downvote is hardly a slap in the chops now is it? Spark an L and chill.

As for reasoning it's quite simple. Biggie is respected far more widely as a lyricist than Pac. That doesn't mean you can't enjoy Tupac more than Biggie or anyone else for that matter. Music is subjective and what appeals to one person may not to another. That's the beauty of it!

I find the list above massively lacking anyway and it blows my mind that Pac and Biggie get almost singled out as the greatest dead rappers. As Nowherematt mentions bellow there's not even a mention of MF DOOM at all or....
Big Pun, Prodigy, Phife, GURU (?!), Sean Price, Dilla, Heavy D, Adam Yauch.

The influence the guys above had on hip hop is absolutely insane.

Then its not a true indica .

That’s debatable apparently 😂

fear is a service and we all subscribe

well it's a fucking "sale event" now

Not just America. fear is major tool they use world wide for control. Always been used.

yes its the foundation of the oldest orgainsations around

Not just US

And it's shipped all over the world.

I agree. There is individual fear, and collective fear. Individuals in America have stressful lives and poor parenting for the majority. Individual fears that hold people back include fear of death, fear of failure, fear of inadequacy (not being good enough). Mass fear includes fear of authority, fear of pandemics, fear of being taken over as a country. Fear can be dealt with by acknowledging and facing the fear with nonresistance. Still, fears are often not recognized because they are not on a conscious level. I do believe that meditation, psychedelic therapy, and transpersonal therapy can uncover subconscious fears and be released from their power.

True all to this but how do you think this is different from country to country.

State-sponsered fear is not unique to the US. Capitalism and communism both generate fear, but in the US, where capitalism has run amok, it is more subtle. US citizens tend to believe that they live in a democracy, yet there has been no progress in the 1 percenters sharing resources with the middle class and poor. Individuals have less rights to express their views because the powers at be that transcend political parties control the agenda of the media and the government. Through TV and other newspapers, citizens are programmed to live their lives in a controlled state of mind. The most pertinent of issues do not make the headlines. I could elaborate more, but just note that societal fear is a response to the denigration of individual rights, where the average citizen thinks that nothing they do or say will be acknowledged or change anything.

Watch this and ask yourself if it is already happening in America/uk..

Istanbul is one of the friendliest big cities on earth.

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

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.

Got to love Turkish food 🤌

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

Egyptians are hard to beat however you slice it.

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.

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!).
