Money as a system of control (video)
Andreas M. Antonopoulos is the most articulate and inspiring voice Bitcoin has. Despite his enormous technical expertise he sees the fundamental proposition of crytpo freedom as the lowest layer of the network.
When I read the title I thought this was about capitalism and making people dependent upon money. Instead this is about the fact that government issues currency and can use that to control everything it touches basically, it's a shocking eye opener.
Yes it's not even the amount of money they have it's that they define it, that's implies ultimate ownership of all of it.
All of his lectures are great. I'd recommend the podcasts over the video, they look like a spycam.
The evil that is fiat money has only put a roof over my head, given me an education, bought my car, yearly holidays, food, clothes, medication, healthcare, books, games, TVs, drink, drugs, guitars, computers, phones, tablets and countless other goods and services that have brought pleasure, entertainment and increased my living standard over the years. Those who control fiat money are evil. The bastards. I feel like a twat now for been so gullible.
Yes of course and like a complete idiot I exchanged that labour for central bank issued fiat money that I thought was giving me freedom to satisfy my needs, wants and desires and have a wonderful fulfilling life. What a fool I have been.
I hear ya dog, like an even bigger idiot i learned about bitcoin years ago (from here as a matter of fact) but kept my money in fiat :(
At least with multiple currencies we still have the power to choose, isn't that what freedom is?
Inspirational stuff. Also a great one for sharing offsite and making use of your reference token while you're at it.
There's currently a viral post going around showing a photo in a pizza hut window saying 'credit cards only' and then some crap saying how people will lose control of their assets if we move away from money lol.
It doesn't matter if it's cards, bank deposits or even cash in hand. It's all under the control of a central government that's why it's called "fiat". It can be seized, de-valued, or bankrupted. Given enough time that's exactly what has happened to *every* fiat currency in history.

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

Fake weed forum....... bring back the old suppliers. Suppliers these days are all crooks.... firstly they get bulk of weed then put it in a tumbler and shake it to take the crystals off the bud so they can make there pillen and dope then the weed gets sprayed with terps to give the buds a flavour again. This is why the dope is dearer than the weed... absolute scams going on here. People need to wake up and start refusing this poison on here these days. There is a handful of sellers that are legit but 95% on here is selling fake thc grass... all its doing is making people sick

the same old revolution is still avoidable
yeah yeah if you look at all the data when any society gets this stratified a revolution always follows. but we are are pre-post-humans self-aware of this fact! so we can do it different this time and get fucked over differently, worst case.
poor suckers (most of the world) are handed serf jobs - the spoils of a trade war "protecting" them. for their labor they get to take it in the ass from monopolies, polluters and anyone else that they are sold to by the "leaders™.
the sycophantic rich get their spoils too - the poor's labor and the right to suck back every cent in consumerism. but they are just as vulnerable as the poor, if don't pay the rulers for their privileges they are reminded that ultimate authority ultimately owns everything it wants because it has the guns. if they dont play ball the fallen are made into public examples; the leaders thus bond with the rabble who revel in the schadenfreude.
ultimately authoritarians sell out the poor to the rich and vice versa a very old art perfected by russian tzar's. and as long as both sides remain divided the cunt standing in the middle can play savior to both sides.
while many rich savor an ass kissing plutocracy some of them actually say fuck you to the government just like the masses of disenfranchised. maybe they hate injustice or maybe they just cant stomach the ass kissing. and the poor are ready for anything.
no doubt burn it all down has some delicious appeal but the aftertaste is still a bunch of cunts playing divisive games. only they don't even have the brains to build the shit they just stole.
somebody tell me another way.

Wishful thinking, the leading VR platform is Facebook. You think you are surrounded with web surveillance? These are the good old days.
How can the rest of the world let this happen? They've rejected Facebook's crypto coin pretty easily.
As long as an authority is collecting taxes you are always going to wind up in the same place. Power will be used to obtain the money and money will be used to obtain power to get more money. These are rules of nature.
Maybe nature will just wipe 98% of us out in a massive self imposed detox. Highly possible, and for the rest of the poor beings that live here along side our seemingly never ending cyclic bullshit, maybe highly desirable. Feeling a wee bit nihilistic today, my deliveries not here yet. Lol.
Btw way op, loving the nod to Spider Jerusalem. My son wore that pair of glasses to a hippy festival last year and was well raging when only one person got it. As I told him, wrong crowd.

Health hacks

Health hacks
So tell me people, what little tips have you all picked up along the way?!
For instance, I swear by using apple cider vinegar for basically everything? Surely I'm not the only one.... One shot every morning to start my day why not!

Drink a lot of water. It's crazy how little people drink. I go through 2 L before noon (you're almost always dehydrated after sleep - drinking coffee/tea dehydrate you even more). Then another 2-3 L for the rest of the day.
Besides occasional coffee in the morning (once or twice a week) I don't drink anything besides water.
I can't see a difference in my own health anymore (because I live like that for over 5 years now), but when I see my old pictures and how my skin looked like when I was constantly dehydrated - the change is huge. 14 years of acne went away without drugs or expensive creams. Only cream I use now is "fifty:50" (50% liquid paraffin, 50% white soft paraffin). So much money and stress saved.
Remember - skin is the largest organ in the body, but we tend to forget about it. It's the first and largest barrier against toxicity of your environment and keeping it in 'good shape' is very important for overall health (not only for cosmetic reasons).

Agreed on this completely. I drink so much water but I'd add it shouldn't be tap water. Nothing in life is free not even water
Good quality tap water is a start and better choice than plastic bottled water.
For filtering I would suggest reverse osmosis filter (just for drinking water, don't install it for your boiler). Brita filters, if properly maintained, are good start as well.

I would love a reverse osmosis filter but to pricey for me at the moment so highland spring it is.
Go for a walk somewhere peaceful every day.
Not texting, nor gramming, or catching up with phonecalls.
Give your brain back the space and peace that the early 21st century took away, even if just for 20 minutes.

Totally agree we should all drink more and think about what we’re putting in our bodies but tea and coffee have been proven to be hydrating and found towards liquid intake cudnt not defend my coffee sorry :)
I do love both tea and coffee as well, the problem is most people put milk and sugar which then probably ruins it
Yo family,
Few I've learnt along the way
- Quit any substance that your body may rely on
- drink water
- go for an hour walk everyday
- move your body
- eat a lot of veg, a variety
- sleep early and wake up early
Blessings!

Mixing citrus juice with your green or black tea increase the amount of antioxidants absorbed by a factor of four. Without milk and sugar of course;)
Also eat your organic lemons whole.

Yes, you setup your desired address and you'll receive small amounts of BTC to that address.
(I did not bother too much, but I'm receiving ~10 USD worth of BTC per month by sharing)
* Be careful when posting links from LB on another platforms, you could make your self an easy bait to catch (if you live in a state where MJ or derived products are highly illegal)

Karma eh? If you believe in karma doesn't that mean you think that children who are the victims of abduction or torture or sexual abuse or famine or disease...they all deserved it? Can you explain how karma accounts for that?
blimey isnt this meant to be light hearted weed conversations theres enough going on in world but seen as u feel so strongly anout child poverty check out toybox charity they do very good work. regards

The motivation behind them is hugely different. bitcoins were created by libertarian types, looking to create a free world on the internet.
Ethereum was more about technical perfection for such an effort. It's not only a coin but a language for commerce between machines.

The ethernet blockchain is "Turing Complete" you can program anything on it. Get a metamask extension for your browser and you can cruise a "decentralized web" that runs on top of the ethernet blockchain. These sites are more resilient than the tor hidden service they really can't be taken down since there is no server.
Smart contracts and way cooler community and ideology. Everything starts with an eth. Google Defi, in case you hadnt heard about its recent explosion. The peoples financial system is emerging quickly. BTC looks old in comparison and should play a role as the vaults of crypto, but nothing at all exciting going on. Eth on the other hand...

Drug driving. Has anyone been caught?
How does he keep getting caught?
Here in Ireland my brother got caught after smoking and he got 4 years off the road then two weeks after the 1st time being caught he was caught again and now he is off the road for 9 years..i know he was a fool for getting caught the second time but I have a mate that got caught drink driving and only got 2 and a half years and he could barely stand up..
I would never drive in Ireland wiithout the help of beng stoned it''s like the whole country is 1 winding lane around a blind turn. Intuition is the only thing keeping anyone alive and I find weed optimizes this. The pints just give you balls and that has fucked results.
100% agree with that haha murine eye drops help big time when the eyes are red. I couldn't handle 4 years off the road.
My pal got busted twice within 1 week! The second time he got caught was because he was driving the same car which was then flagged as a drugs car after the first time.
I been doing a lil research. Apparently listerin mouthwash works for about 45 min. Also was advised to deny and not take any type of drugs test but to ask for a doctor to perform field sobriety test. Obviously you would get arrested but they can’t ban you.

I've heard about the mouthwash thing, but don't want to be the one to test the theory - also Listerine contains alcohol so you might fail a breathalyzer for no reason. What's more worrying is that I've heard rumours you can fail a test for up to a week after toking which is crazy and incredibly unfair.
Hopefully someone will be able to get hold of the test, and experiment with it to see what the limits are. I can understand why they don't want people driving when they're stoned out of their mind, but I don't think there's a herb on the planet that stones you for 2 - 3 days.
When medical legalization happens they will have to come up with a fairer test. Don't know what they do in America.

the laws are pathetic it angers me that something that actually helps people is against the law and alcohol that kills and causes nothing but damage to your liver is legal pathetic
I wouldn’t drink or drive or smoke and drive better to be on the safe side not worth getting your license suspended or getting into a accident
I dont drive- so can smoke to my hearts content- but cannabis stays in your system for a long time- up to 2 months if youre a regular/ heavy smoker. One of reasons crack and heroin are so popular in prison- they leave your system after 3-4 days
Yes me unfortunately I hadn’t smoked that day either 12 month ban and a fine and I’m a lorry driver so had to give up my job I now use some keltic mist spray
Does the celtic mist work checked out that profile on facebook a while back and did a bit of research ...looks 100% fake
Check out a product called keltic mist,its made in ireland by a doctor and you spray it on tongue before the saliva test and it will read negative,guy called medincine man sells it,havnt tried it but think i will buy one just incase,it comes with a test so u can try it so hopfully it works 😎

NASA’s 1966 plan for a mission to Mars
Nancy loved red
NASA’s 1966 plan for a mission to Mars
The first, the "minimal" missions, would occur between 1976 and 1986 and would use Apollo-level (that is, 1970) technology. The second, the "extended" mission, which was tentatively scheduled to occur in the 1982-1986 time period, would require technologies beyond the Apollo state of the art.
Die erste Mission, die als "Minimal" bezeichnet wird, sollte zwischen 1976 und 1986 stattfinden und Technologien auf Apollo-Niveau (das heißt, aus dem Jahr 1970) nutzen. Hierbei handelt es sich um eine frühere Phase, in der Raumfahrttechnologien noch nicht so weit fortgeschritten waren. Es sollten bestehende Technologien aus der Apollo-Ära verwendet werden, um das Ziel der Mission zu erreichen.
Die zweite Mission, genannt "Extended" (erweitert), sollte voraussichtlich in den Jahren 1982 bis 1986 stattfinden. Hierbei würden Technologien benötigt, die über den Stand der Apollo-Missionen hinausgehen. Diese Mission würde somit fortschrittlichere Technologien erfordern, die zu diesem Zeitpunkt entwickelt werden müssten, um die gesteckten Ziele zu erreichen.
Es ist wichtig zu beachten, dass sich die Raumfahrttechnologie im Zeitverlauf stetig weiterentwickelt und neue Möglichkeiten eröffnet. Die "Minimal"-Missionen nutzen vorhandene Technologien aus der Apollo-Ära, während die "Extended"-Mission auf fortschrittlichere Technologien angewiesen ist, die über den damaligen Stand der Technik hinausgehen.
Diese beiden Missionen spiegeln den Fortschritt und die Ambitionen der Raumfahrt in den 1970er und 1980er Jahren wider. Jede Mission erfordert spezifische Technologien und Ressourcen, um ihre Ziele erfolgreich zu erreichen und das Verständnis des Weltraums weiter voranzutreiben.

cryonics requires religion
really interesting
cryonics requires religion
cryonics is a fragile storage strategy: a constant fresh supply of liquid nitrogen and electricity is required for centuries.
how can a profit making entity be expected to align with the interests of a bunch of corpses that appear as a liability on their balance sheet?
you can try to develop incentives but economics change over time, even environmental conditions do; to say nothing of technology.
if a non profit got this all right somehow how could they reliably remain competent over a period like this? very few entities of any kind survive this long.
what's needed is a compact between generations, like that which exists in families. in a decentralized body preservation scheme each family can store it's own and we have our custodial solution.
but technology cycles never remain in decentralized, fragmented phases for long. centralization is inevitable in any system just as another wave of de-consolidation follows that.
something meta to families is required. what we call religious organizations have always fitted this bill: a common belief shared horizontally across living people as well as vertically amongst the dead and unborn.

What you're describing sounds like Cosmism: the futurist philosophy of Nikolai Fedorov. Very popular in life extension circles and, I suspect, why cryonics did so well in Russia before the financial crash. Worth reading up on.

Safest cannabis products for delivery to Middle East?

Safest cannabis products for delivery to Middle East?
I'm in a country where the penalties for ganja are insane so I'd like any advice you guys have.
Muskabuzz Eldorodos, impossible to detect even if you are holding them in your hand, I've brought them to the Middle East many times.
Honestly if you're in a country where the laws around cannabis are heavily enforced and you can get a long sentence for it, i honesty wouldn't worth risking getting cannabis imported. However, as you are on LB i'd suggest looking through some of the top vendors who will take that risk to do that for you, as i know many won't. The products you're more likely to get away with would probably be vape cartridges or concentrates as they aren't as obvious as cannabis in flower form!
There is a vendor called hashishin who sells buds and hash from the ME. Best stealth as well, apparently
I'd suggest to stay away from all cannabis products while you're there.
Your life can take a very hard turn in hours.
I lived in the middle east in several countries for many decades and seen things. Trust me. It is not worth it.
Despite many countries looking sleek and shiny and modern, the legal system is still pretty much medieval.

Distillate is the best product for International delivery. This can be the base for a lot of new products - edibles - vapes etc
Generally terrible idea in that part of the world of course, but I often think that edibles have to be the best stealth. Jellies and/or chocolate bars have to go the lab before their ingredient is revealed. Why would they do that for a couple of packs? and in checked luggage, AND you can mix it with the genuine kind.
Edibles blast me harder than any weed…..😵💫🤤😉

The Difference Between Sativa & Indica

The Difference Between Sativa & Indica
Do not pass GO until you know this, it's so fundamental that you wont believe you didn't know this before.
Sativa is exhilarating, it charges your mind and body with revelatory energy. Great for work and sport it's an uplifting daytime high. The downsides can be paranoia and a quicker road to dependence.
Indica is satisfying, it relaxes you in every way. Great for sleep. laughter and appetite it always relieves stress but is very likely to make you lazy in mind and body.
Using cannabis without knowing this basic difference is a lot more consequential than confusing red wine with white. Though the plants look the same they are basically opposites, evolving separately for millions of years.

Completely untrue. Genetically there is only the cannabis sativa L and at a molecular level they are all the same. The terpenes dictate the physical differences, smell, taste etc. and differing effects are due to the huge variety of growing conditions, climate, soil etc. The indica/sativa classifications have been around so long we have all bought into them, which is fine ‘cos they work for us in their simplicity, but the science disagrees. It’s only relatively recently that this has been fully examined but there are now a tonne of fully peer reviewed science papers on the subject. Whether any of those scientists are also biggaz would be useful to know! ;)
^this
have been aware of this for years and out of the hundreds of heavy smokers i've met / smoked with, spent thousands of hours talking about cannabis but the placebo sativa / indica nonsense never comes up, i've met a couple novice smokers who got wrapped up in that pseudo science but quickly found they don't have a preference for either 'sativa' or 'indica'
not only do the terps play a large part in weeds overall effects but the way it's grown, what it's grown in, and specifically most important is how far into flower it was harvested and what stage the trichomes are at! this is where a plants effects will come from.
for the sake of this example lets say you have a pure 100% sativa, and you are growing 2 identical plants, same strain + genetics from the same breeder, in one tent under the same lights with the same soil and nutes, if you harvest them a few days apart from eachother you will have two completely different smokes in terms of their effects, nothing to do with them being a sativa.

in my pursuits of staying high all the time my formula is basically sativa to get it going and indica to insure sleep to make it to another high day. but thats another story ;)

i suppose there's no harm in you enjoying a placebo effect mate if it makes you happy :)
unfortunately the science can't really be ignored on this one, there's more than enough papers published now for you to read, here's an example of many > https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5576603/
"I would strongly encourage the scientific community, the press, and the public to abandon the sativa/indica nomenclature and rather insist that accurate biochemical assays on cannabinoid and terpenoid profiles be available for Cannabis in both the medical and recreational markets. Scientific accuracy and the public health demand no less than this"
i hope eventually, even on a market like this, we can abandon the copy and paste strain information from google since it's so far removed from being relevant to the product we are buying it's actually laughable, what we need is more detailed information on the terpenes and what stage the plant was harvested, these are the key things that actually give the plant it's effects!

If you are growing correctly and checking with a microscope, you should be getting the perfect mix of what the strain has to offer.
You will find most buds are not grown to perfection and chopped at week 8 not week 9.5 or 10.

this is exactly what it's all about, and this is what the science on this subject confirms too! it has absolutely nothing to do with this outdated hipster language of 'indica & sativa'!
it's all down to the genetics, terps, growing conditions and particularly important is what stage the trichomes were at during harvest!
the science is out there for anyone to read and it's far more difinitive than anecdotal comments on here from ignorant stoners who 'derive energy from plants' lol

Seems this guy's point is that the terms are not scientifically accurate given the interbreeding. He also thinks people are basing this on leaf shape - what's this about?
it's one example of many articles and papers on this topic!
and it is true that a vast amount of people determine a 'sativa' and 'indica' by it's plant strucutre and the leaf shape falls into that, which is of course nonsense but there's a huge amount of people using this criteria unfortunately!

i don’t know about you but from the 1st time i ever smoked (thanks uncle gary) to a couple of years ago i didn’t even know the difference between indica and sativa.
hungry one time paranoid the next i just thought the beloved plant had range.

lol it just sums it up really how outdated the language on this topic is, also dipensaries are starting to move away from the terms 'indica & sativa' since they have been shown to be nothing more than marketing language!
eventually the industry will move away from those terms entirely as the science progresses and it will become far easier to find strains that suit your needs!
also i noticed you've never mentioned once on any of the items on your menu if they are sativa or indica or hybrid, assuming it's because you know it's nonsense :)

Most modern strain on the market today, have been breed to be hybrids, hence the ratio indicators giving you a desired mix, and in turn desired effects. That is the beauty, of mixing strains, to create new and exciting, rolls of the dice.
Quite far from some strain's landrace origins, but certains strains can still be pure , for example:
100% Indica Northern Light.
100% Sativa Durban Poison.
Mixing the two would have a similar effect, to smoking a 50/50 hybrid, in theory. I better grow them both this Year, to find out.

I thought an indica is classed as such when it contains 5% or more of the terpene myrcene which has sedative effects due to the entourage effect with THC. It’s also why people say eating mangos whilst consuming cannabis makes you higher as myrcene is present in them.

Why Cryonics Makes Sense

Why Cryonics Makes Sense
Great piece on why this cryonics is simply a rational decision.
the problem i see is that it's a trust based system and you are trusting people selling an afterlife. that doesn't bring us much further than religious belief in life after death.
I love this opening:
You’re on an airplane when you hear a loud sound and things start violently shaking. A minute later, the captain comes on the speaker and says:
There’s been an explosion in the engine, and the plane is going to crash in 15 minutes. There’s no chance of survival. There is a potential way out—the plane happens to be transferring a shipment of parachutes, and anyone who would like to use one to escape the plane may do so. But I must warn you—the parachutes are experimental and completely untested, with no guarantee to work. We also have no idea what the terrain will be like down below. Please line up in the aisle if you’d like a parachute, and the flight attendants will give you one, show you how to use it and usher you to the emergency exit where you can jump. Those who choose not to take that option, please remain in your seat—this will be over soon, and you will feel no pain.
What would you do?

Here's a parachute that definitely doesn't work. They cost you all the money you intended to pass on, then will probably go on to cost your offspring.
We'll try our best come up with a method to make it work before you hit the ground.
Form an orderly queue.

All of histories great and revolutionary thinkers faced with the moment of ultimate transcendence would choose the same: hiding in a freezer clinging desperately to their privilege.
I’d rather see what’s next than be consigned to eternity on a planetary corpse with the people who killed it.

Alternative to Bitcoin to pay?
so are savvy buyers that keep some money in bitcoin. referrers are also making a killing just from sharing links to lb. so yeah maybe expecting charit…
Alternative to Bitcoin to pay?
Probably a daft question, but are there any vendors who accept a payment method other than Bitcoin? Atm bitcoin is fuckin expensive! Literally spending £60 to receive 0.0012BTC for a 3.5G, understandably due to its popularity it’s rising, but being new to all this it’s off putting that you have to pay double for what you’d get of your local grafter.
By the looks of it it’s going to keep rising, hope vendors would maybe offer an alternative as I can’t imagine many people wanting to fork out so much each time.

Agreed. Very expensive. Really a last resort. Sellers must be making an absolute fortune. Have yet to see any of them give something back to their customers...
so are savvy buyers that keep some money in bitcoin. referrers are also making a killing just from sharing links to lb. so yeah maybe expecting charity isn't the optimal strategy here.

almost every wallet lets you set the fees, it really depends what your platform requirements and tastes are. i like electrum.

I don't want to keep using exchanges to send crypto, due to the crazy fees (and lack of control over them) and also privacy concerns. Can someone recommend a wallet where I can send my crypto to then make private payments.
I've made some effort to find answers here, but I'm struggling to find exactly what I'm looking for.
Many thanks
Raggley

Ive just used coinami for the first time, great to use but sending fee was £10 for a sale that was only £35!!!
Is that normal or not? thanks
Is that normal or not? thanks
When the network is busy the fees can be extremely high. It's worth knowing though that the fee is the same regardless of the amount you send so it really pays to make larger orders. When you have your coins on an exchange you generally have no control over these fees, but in your own wallet you can adjust these fees to an extent

Movies, Shows and Docs Suggestions
A post to share suggestions. Share with LB what you've been watching and where is it.
Incredible show! I love how it portrays Daniel Larusso as the villain in the story, or at least shows Johnny's side of things. Although I thought season 2 was a little weaker than season 1, almost like a teen drama at times. Can't wait for season 3!
I have to see Sacha acting on The Spy. Will try it after House of Cards. Btw BORAT2 will be released end of next month! NICE!
anyone watching Raised By Wolves on HBOMAX? by Ridley Scott proper Alien/Prometheus vibes to it. Highly recommended
Rised by wolves was great. Even if you’r not a fan of the sf genre, the acting of mother and father was brilliant.
I also liked Dark on Netflix and Devs on Hbo.
Cheers!

I'm not currently subscribed to hbo... But they have (probably) the best series and I might unsubscribe from Amazon Prime to go to hbo
I use Kodi and have real debrid set up through seren add-on for kodi, every show u could ever want every network it's great
look into getting a Plex box. Bought it off ebay and for 50 quid a year i can watch HBO, amazon, netflix, etc. Its a pirated box
if you get a vpn service and dont mind downloading, then you should go to watchsomuch, they have shed loads of stuff there, series and movies.
all for free....
all for free....
Cheapest way to watch every movie and tv show imo is popcorntime. I use it for the kids to watch Mandalorean. Go to popcorntime.ie and dowload the app for the device you’r using. It has an option for streaming to tv set. Its like Netflix but for torrents. Cheers!
Think you can watch it on one of the Sky Channels now. Would like to check it out, missus doesnt like sci-fi, so will have to watch in my own time..
Watch 'Wayne', was on YouTube but moving to Amazon I think. Is very good.
The Queens Gambit on Netflix is also very good. Yes its about Chess, but alot more as well.

Search for 'Stobe the Hobo' on Youtube. A really beautiful set of amateur travel documentaries. I won't say more... See what you think.
I was just about to make a post like this lol anyway ive been watching f*ck, that's delicious ..highly recommend it
I gained 10kg in the last few months just from smoking... It might not be a good idea to smoke and watch a food show xD
He actually starts eating healthy towards the end and starts exercising ,drinking smoothies eating veggie dishes
I've been watching House of Cards, it's on netflix. Kinda like the idea how it's done and good story so far. Ended 2nd season atm, love Kevin Spacey acting

could anyone potentially help me get her back?

The prime directive on Star Trek is easier to define than "do no harm" on little biggy but I do agree it's unequivocal harm.
''The Prime Directive is an ethical guideline, for how to treat cultures based on a policy of egalitarianism and trust. It ensures every culture is given the opportunity to develop on its own without interference''

IP banning repeat offensers
Hi LB.
I’ve been following the absolute shit storm with Sweetdreamz and DankHighz. Didn’t really want to wade into it, however now seeing this guy posting addresses on here has me super worried.
Can LB admins implement IP level bans for insane people like this that have no business on this site? It’s obviously not perfect and you’ll probably have to ban a few IPs before they are gone for good, but there must be some way we can keep destructive users like this out.
Just my two cents.

That's exactly what they want - for you to worry. There's was a desperate and cowardly move that if you think it through has about the same real risk of any terrorist action - near 0.
Substitute bad actors here for terrorists, noobs for "the children" and us as a scared population willing to sacrifice freedom and openness for safety. I respect your concerns but I do know what doesn't work: the tactics of a world I try to shrug off every time I login here.
As for me I'd rather bear the risk myself, I can always use a drop to protect my address if I chose to, that's the only no-trust solution anyway.

That means a lot of IP addresses saving which is a cure worse than the sickness. Minimal records are existential to this place.
even assuming the users ip is static (which it’s probably not) ip blacklist won’t be effective as most here will be using vpn anyway.
yes I think that may be the way to go, at least for anyone selling and taking peoples addresses
Diceman your picture is epic lol i have not smoked a bread bag in years thats what we called them they get you wrote of
lol, these were staple back in the day. use kitkat foil for the full ghetto experience! we called them ‘bottle bags’ or a ‘lung’ round our way. not seen one in the wild for years.
More like you end up with one lung smoking these we use to use a socket as a chillum i miss the oldskool pollen through a lung what a high
From what people have been saying, IP bans just wont work here. However I do think we could investigate some form of vendor vetting/invitation system.

I'm about to experience it for the first time...any advice? I plan on sprinkling minuscule amounts in a joint as I don't have a pipe.
Minuscule is smart not only from a tolerance perspective but also because you have a chance of it actually burning right :)
That's why I don't bother with concentrates, to do it right you need a huge "rig" like some addict character is a science fiction movie.
So it burns better when it is tiny? Being new at this, I don't want to waste any because of ignorance, but, I don't want to get involved with a whole rig and all. Is there another option?
