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.

has anyone done a comparison of lb sellers gear in a vid, i would love to see that
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.

you could totally do this on youtube they have a california pov on cannabis and have for a long time
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 😂
Fuck description of what I want to do on my page 😊

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…

Best Example of Communism?
some famous fails for sure but what are the success stories they dont tell us about?
Kerala in India has a long history of electing communist party politicians. It has the highest literacy rate and lowest infant mortality in India due to its policies.
German Peasant's War (where the word communism derives), Paris Commune, two Russian revolutions minus the Bolsheviks, Makhnochina, Spanish revolution, German revolution, May 68, etc. etc. etc.
Losing in the first half don't mean the game's over.

Come on down voters give me a success story if you don't like the truth?? Bloody Marxists never except that it doesn't work. What ever iteration you can think of it WONT WORK!!!! everyone being the same sucks the fun out of life accept that hard work pays!
I'm not advocating for Communism but our society is full of people grafting their respective genitalia off that are still struggling financially. The idea that hard work pays ( properly) is a idea propagated by people seeking to exploit the labour of others. Nobody should need to claim benefits whilst working full time and yet...
Fwiw, I do advocate for a mixed economy. Nationalised energy, health, water, public transport etc and luxuries at the will of the free market.

You shouldn't be allowed to claim any benefits while in full time employment. It's crazy, we are basically subsidising employers who ought to be paying more.
And I hope that, one day, employers decide paying a living wage is more important than ever increasing profits such that in work benefits are no longer necessary. I propose a link between maximum and minimum pay within an organisation. Let's say; no pay ( overall package including bonuses, perks and dividends) higher than 5x the lowest full time salary.
it wouldn't even have to be a regulation, the government does business with so many companies and beneficiaries. if they don't have these multiples in place no people's funds.
employers don't make that call so much as owners do and when the owner is the stock market it's quite blind to anything but profits.
when the owners are the employees this changes priorities.

"that hard work pays" is often true and the capitalists don't only pontificate this to the masses they teach it to their children. children they practise communism with.
I’m sure there are loads they just don’t teach us about them. Capitalism doesn’t work either does it? Too many greedy pocket filling bastards. We are all the same having money doesn’t make you better than anyone else, the fact you are here spouting this shows what a sad state the world is in 😞
You should look into some unbiased reporting on the soviet Union, and some witness statements from the older generation who lived through it.
You will find that many of them tell you life was better in the USSR, than in post USSR Eastern Europe and Russia. Besides that they were several decades ahead of the west on womens rights and social services.
But like anything good, the Americans bring it down from the inside, or out, USSR, Great Britain, either way. Their media controls the narritive, and communism effects their ability to steal all the money. There is a reason Cinema is oversaturated with anti Communist rhetoric.
I'd honestly rather have the worst communist government, than be America number 2.

Yeah and east germany was the most successful communist country of all, just ask anyone that wasn't killed trying to leave.
i'd settle for being ireland number 0.5 :)

Have you ever listened to Konstantin Kisin? A Jewish family - He moved when he was 9 from the ussr to England at the end of the soviet Union just before the fall. His first hand account of his own life tells a very different story to what you describe.
under capitalism hard work has never paid and never will pay lmfao. communism actually prioritises labour, capitalism is about fat pigs at the top skimming off 99% of the profit we produce for them. do you not find it utterly insane tesco has like 5 different in-house brands with varying prices for essentially the same product? or that having less money means you have to settle for lower quality products that are worse for you and spoil faster?
So, you don't think lifting 4/5ths of the world out of relative poverty can be considered "paying off"?
OK Che, communism good 🤣👌

food for the hungry is legit and accepts crypto
there are community outreach programs and obviously government funded systems like food banks to help, but the crisis only really exists because the capitalist system is designed that way. we have the resources to end world hunger but it's not economically beneficial so it will never happen

Does the existence of those children make anything I said less true?
Strawman though. I didn't make a claim that there is no poverty in any country. I think you missed the qualifiers "relative" and "4/5ths" of the world.
I would say, that "starving" inarguably applies to way less than 1 in 5 children in the UK, US or anywhere in the West which makes your point about the ills of capitalism fairly moot in context.
I am no fan of cronyism, and I don't think capitalism is utopia, but it's insane to try and persuade anybody that communism would do better than this.
Thanks for the downvotes. I have over a thousand upvotes and less than 30 down.
Drop me a line next time you are tipping your bathwater into the atalantic. I'll do it too 🤣

You stop your quotations at an expedient place. If you would have been less disingenuous about your framing, you would be honest about the fact that the reason I said it was to point out that the users who's position I criticised (fairly and civilly) had no reply apart from the futile downvotes, as I was describing.
If I was trying to persuade anybody of anything about me with only what you have entered in your own quotation marks as the context then I'd tend to agree with you. Given that you have totally taken it out of the context it was said (I mean it was clear the previous person was making downvotes vexatiously, in place of an actual cogent argument against what I was saying.
I think you probably know that, but don't care because you disagree with me 🤣 how about tackle me with some argumental substance rather than downvotes.
So, yeah, moot point. Wind your neck in mush.

I came here to say this. Glad someone else knows what's going on.
It's gradual. Socialism is the route to communism. The NHS, which we are all trained from an early age to worship, was one of the first big steps in socialism. Benefits too.
Do you all remember when Richard Madeley of all people called out Susan Michie for being a member of the Communist party? She was a main player in the 'behaviour science' part of the scamdemic. Do you remember how we were all pressured into performing that awful clap for the NHS gesture? That was like something out of North Korea/China, where citizens are softly compelled into worshipping the state - like those obvious crocodile tears that were shed over Kim of N Korea.
Ugh, most people are too close to it to see it but it is ABUNDANTLY clear.
I would recommend anyone to watch Yuri Bezmenovs lecture on how the west gets subverted to Communism. He was a soviet defector who used to subvert countries and bring them into the soviet fold for a living.

I don't think Communism has ever worked as Capitalists are always creaming off the top.
A great book on the subject is Eat The Rich by the US satirist (and huge drug consumer) P.J. O'Rourke. I think his and my politics are probably polar opposites, but you could get fucked up at a party with him and have an amazing time. Anyway, good book. Breaks down all sorts of different political stances, and Good Communism is one chapter, and Bad Communism another. He's a funny guy, but maybe don't consider it as in depth reasoned academic analysis.
Ah, fuck. He died in 2022. No future parties.

Best example of communism... in the ground... deep in the ground with the devil from whence it came.
yet when everyone looks above and sees devils we know what cycle communism - or now capitalism - is in.
It doesn't work
Never has, never will.
The communists and socialists will tell you that " it just hasn't been done properly"
Problem is, they always need other peoples money to spend...

The only people with positive stories perished in the gulags.

"It was a laugh in the beginning, but things went steeply downhill shortly after."
I don't think you'll find any. They've tried it and hundreds of millions died. Ok in principle but man's greed quickly takes over.
yeah it's the trickery of it from the knowers side and the sheer gullibility from the mark.
"From each according to his ability, to each according to his need"
To the naive person, this quote from Marx sounds like everyone will just pull their own weight for others and everyones needs will be met.
But with the benefit of hindsight, it is clearly a recipe for slave labour/the gulag system where each man is worked to his utmost but only has his basic needs met. Pretty clear with the benefit of hindsight.
There are no luxuries. Worked to the max, as much as your body can stand and in return you are provided a concrete bed, thin blanket and bowl of gruel twice a day. From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.

Not exactly a success story but interesting fact. There are more cannabis users per capita in Communist North Korea than there are in any other country. They smoke to relieve the pain of living there.
It doesn’t work people become lazy and there will always be those who have and those who have nothing.
Argentina’s current turnaround under Javier Milei from socialist basket case to small state and low interference is what you should be talking about. We don’t need the public sector time to slash it.
We need to get our self respect back relying on the state has made us weak and pathetic.

We are already experiencing communism even in the modern world , it's a hybrid between communism and democracy , based on feelings and personal I , me Happiness and DEI.
Don't work , hand outs , nobody knows what a woman is , men are all monsters and rapists , everyone can be whatever they FEEL , massive division - past remembering - payouts for past events , people split into groups protesting, government is everything - Marxsism 1:1 .
You already have 6 - 7 nations that have fallen fighting for this aspect -
Argentina - down - Saved by Milei
Columbia - down
Venezuela - down
Chile - About to fall
Salvador - Down - But saved by Bukele
Australia - About to fall
USA - About to fall - massive border issues and most cities are walking dead with people zombies being poor and homeless.
UK - about to crash due to importing victimhood across all minorities , brits on mute mode not even saying anything to anyone.
Go woke in a country and your entire society crashes.
Capitalism + Merrit Based society is the only one working.
This has been in the works tho since the 90s - starting with the feminisation of men and masculinisation of women - Split up with your men , you can do whatever you want , then they wake up at 40's with a carrer , no fam and alone crying on Socials crying for a men.
Men - don't react , be soft , toxic masculinity , every reaction has been deemed as something is wrong with you.
Therapy is all processed from the perspective of a woman , so men don't go to that.
Men just kill themselves at some point due to loneliness , women keep talking and talking and move on.
This is where you are at in 2024 in the Western World's
So majority of people need to stop and go back to standards otherwise Societies crash entirely , we see the results Live ongoing
North Korea is the only one truly communist spot ON and it's only because the majority of the population simply wants to live like that , they don't know anything else , never did , not every nation is attracted to this notion of rich , poor ,progress yourself some just want to live like in a big Foster care home totally controlled.

Communism is inherently tyrannical. History shows that. There aren’t any examples of success for a reason. It goes against the human spirit. Millions more died die to its tyranny than under the Nazis but you never see documentaries on the BBC or Netflix about Stalin, Mao or Pol Pot. Capitalism isn’t perfect by a long way but meritocracy is natural and drives progress. People to an extent sort themselves into roles and structures on natural ability and interest. Socialism just teaches people to rely on the state whilst the state gets to dictate how people think and behave. It’s ideological tyranny on the one extreme and financial exploitation of a liberal society by the few on the other. My grandad was a carpenter and paid his subs to his union for years until he acknowledged the financial and ideological corruption that it was based on.
There has never been one.
Governments, inherently are untrustworthy, the larger they are.
More proclivity to tyranny the smaller they are - which the libertarians are blind to.
There should be a lassez faire way to govern, with a balanced and adequately sized government.
Modern progressives don't like to hear this, but capitalism has lifted the world out of relative poverty, to the extent that nothing that came before it has been more beneficial to both quantity and quality of life.
Necessary evils are all around us. We think if we are selective about the ones we talk about, then the ones we don't want to talk about will disappear for some reason.

The Catholic Church is a Force for Good in the World : IQ^2 Debate
Fry and Hitchens take on the Archbishop and Tory MP
The Catholics needed a pedant on their side not a pendant. Taken literally this position gets a lot easier to defend.
I'm not sure trying to peg any organisation as objectively good or bad is possible, but also fuck the Catholic Church and all they are.
laugh all you like but the basic philosophy of jesus is love and that is exactly what the world needs.
Let's have a look at bit of history:
1) Reconquista of Spain - overcame the previous more liberal Islamic Al-Andalus. Explusion of Jews & Muslims
2) The cultural rape of the Americas - effectively extinguishing the native way of life
3) All of those European wars which were pretty much Catholics vs Prods (Prods as bad as Catholics in this case)
4) More recently - at a time of AIDs and other STDs saying use of condoms 'evil'.
5) Messing up the psyche of its followers by seeing sex as dirty
6) A great place to work as a preist if you don't like adult women and prefer to have sex with under age boys and girls.

Already seen this you don't want to know my take as a Satanic/pagan Witch/warlock ... But i agree with stephen about most things. The part i can't stomach is that The church brag (Or used to) about their il educated followers from africa.. one reason why i returned to the ways of my old english ancestors.. in all things balance and respect for nature and our home.. Ave Lucifer the light bringer and Giver of knowlage .. Ave lilith mother of all witches and reflection of the black sun.
the word Devil means adversary... Rowling XD are you another one of those magic is the work of the devil hacks??
"Giver of knowlage..."
Well that all sounds pretty knowlagabel to me.

Is spelling and grammar not a part of "wisdom and knowledge?" (or knowlage)
You'd have thought the old Lucibubs would've at least armed you with a dictionary.

There's nothing wrong with having limited spelling and grammar buddy, but I struggle to understand why you would come on here claiming "wisdom and knowledge" given to you by some dark force when you can't even spell the words properly....
I know nothing about open heart surgery, so I'm not going to claim I have "specialism in the field" when it's very clear I don't.
Wisdom has nothing to do with education, but to claim you have wisdom AND knowledge, because you worship the devil...
Yet you can't even spell 'knowledge'...
Sorry. But that needed to be called out.
Spelling and grammar are nothing. Manners maketh the man.
All the best and like I say, each to their own just please don't claim to have superiority in wisdom and knowledge by worshiping anyone, least of all the devil and witches.

i don't worship any deity i work with them and i never claimed they gave me anything. the last part of what i said was just Veting or honouring the witch king and queen ( the male and female aspects of nature) i never claimed anything...

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

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

Decentralisation, rebirth of the concept of governments and banks (stores of value and loans of value), the internet of money, the exchange of favours peer to peer, the recognition of favours, global decentralised online democracy, micro businesses go parabolic, communities become self sufficient, govts lose control. Its happening.
True though. example..I cashed out £3k yesterday just for posting on a crypto sub on reddit for a few years, 3-4 posts a week.. erc20 rewards. I use brave browser which offers free anti tracking, https upgrades, ad free browsing (inc youtube) and it pays as you go with BAT token. It covers my premium netflix monthly subscription and costs nothing.

We bio engineer ourselves into organic super computers, harness the planets electromagnetic field as a server and live as gods in virtual reality.

Web 5. Decentralisation of personal data. Anonymity. Buyers Markets. People realise phones arent phones and just tracking chips that post spam in your face all day so we go back to mp3 players that make calls. We reverse the inversion and regain the ability to tell human from computer and truth from fiction again.
Humanity cannot progress or achieve the things we used to while big data has us pinned down with the technology and the mind games, constantly draining every penny we have. We're so busy trying to create money with our bare hands to pay off the debt they are creating that we can't get anywhere and never will.
People are working to take apart that system as we contemplate.
For now at least we have LB.

The Royals Should Pay Slavery Reparations

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.

Would be the smartest thing they could do, what they fuck are they doing otherwise - besides providing testimony to inequality?
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.
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.

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.
Can we talk about how our king has done more for equality, against slavery and human trafficking than any African monarch.
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.

I think you are cleverly proving the point that slavery exists today. It all starts with an arbitrarily chosen ruler and ignorant obedience.
Who should they pay reparations to?
The African countries that are still using their own people as slaves?
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.

Actually the remaining institution of Rome is starting to pay up. Windsors should do the same.
Absolute bollocks. Read your own article. It says "Leaders of the Jesuit Conference of Canada and the United States". Nothing to do with Rome. Just a few North Americans virtue signalling
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.
TL:DR African tribes were complicit in the trans-atlantic slave trade

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.
I agree. The problem is Royals follow protocol and listen to their advisers. If they listened to an economist they would use the surplus 18 billion raised in the Chancellor's budget to plug that other black hole.
As soon as former common wealth nations ask for repatriation. Commence operation Bad Enoch. Wealth isn't common.

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.
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, all other things being equal, you're better off than your black neighbour.
"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.

Wow! This reply is literally from weeks ago, and you think I wrote what now? Raj you are so off course, it's like some Jake Paul 4+4=5 conclusion. 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. You should get a podcast and enlighten all your friends. Ciao4now, bud.
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.
at a time when the world is turning more separatist and fascist it's especially valuable to know that shit like that is held accountable for ever.

"The system depends on human labor while simultaneously eradicating it."
We're in the widening gap phase now for sure, or at least its becoming clear how far the gap already is.
The final step in every Marxism based cycle is the uprising of the proletariat, so that's the fun bit we need to look towards.. lol :)

0% interest rates, meme stocks, puts and calls going up simultaneously, sure looks like an end game scenario.
The Man realised a long time ago ;-)
"Capitalism does not permit an even flow of economic resources. With this system, a small privileged few are rich beyond conscience, and almost all others are doomed to be poor at some level. That's the way the system works. And since we know that the system will not change the rules, we are going to have to change the system." Martin Luther King, Jr.

One day all the super rich (super useless) will realize the world seizes to go round without ground level hard workers and skilled people.

Not quite. "The working class cannot simply lay hold of the ready-made state machinery, and wield it for its own purposes".
Absolutely. I encourage you all to read the manifesto if you haven't already. It will blow your mind how accurately he describes the current situation in capitalism. I'm a proud member of the one of the fastest growing communist party worldwide, and we're working had to organise and educate people on how communism would work in the 21st century. DM me if you're interested. I could talk communism all day long.
I love these talks....but let me take the opposing side of the view and say the real reason capitalism works and proven to work than communism (even communist countries like China has no option but to conform to capitalist notions)...Is because of it's destructive & Contradictory nature which allows room for error, destruction and reconstruct....Flexibility like biology of trial and error that leads eventually to efficiency....So yes there are aspects of communism that needs to be involved and would allow under capitalism....But not necessarily Viseversa....
Finally Communism has historically tried and Achieved Growth without sustainability.....So it has already proven not correct in REAL TERMS!
BUT we should look for a confluence between two and integrate to create a better system....again think of China and their growth spurt over the last 2-decades....this is after they have allowed Capitalist ideas to be joined with communism....
I just said all my perspective and please forgive me if there is anything incorrect ...this based on my limmited knowledge

Shouldn't need to explain this, but surely you're aware that many brands have fakes on the market? The likelyhood of you getting your hands on genuine Jungle Boys vapes is just not happening.
You can tell the difference between the real and fakes jungle boys has a video where they show you the difference between real and fakes
I guess if Chut does a video comparison with the Jungle Boys vid, that'd prove they were real, right?
Yh get them If they are genuine I live in the uk and I’ve had real jungle boys if u can show me some pictures I can tell you if they are real or not
Biggest vendor on here thought the same, https://littlebiggy.net/viewSubject/p/4780534?gotoPost=zKeki8A6A
His were fake and his were verifying too just because they verify don’t mean their real these are 100% fake without a doubt the back of the packaging is wrong the CA sticker on the disposable is wrong even the oil it’s supposed to be way darker also on the side of the backpacking there should be a tear of sticker also the sticker on the disposable should be a sticker that comes separately if it’s printed on the disposable already then it’s fake there’s still a couple more things I can name on why these are fake mate

Who Owns Guy Fawkes Day?
An increasing number of people around the world are remembering the 5th of November and each year the memories evoked diverge.
In 1605 (Guy Fawkes Day -1), a group of rebels including the famous one now on the mask, had an idea: blow up the English Parliament with King James in it, presumably to start over afterwards over with a government closer to the people. The "Gunpowder Plot" failed when Fawkes was discovered "guarding" his bomb.
James felt this operational shortcoming was further proof of his divine right to rule and it is the celebration of Fawke's failure that is the basis of the holiday. For 3 centuries it was mandatory to celebrate the squashing of rebellion and burn an effigy of Fawkes; the popular masks are actually a prop, part of the fun that surrounds an otherwise chilling reminder of what happens to rebels in England.
It wasn't until the 1980s that Alan Moore's V for Vendetta character started the backfiring of the intended celebration of Guy Fawkes day. As a modern day Guy Fawkes V exploded empty buildings and only shed the blood of those that had previously hurt him personally. The classic graphic novel was made into a film and in the 21st century Guy Fawkes masks were used by protestors as a means to build upon the emotions of the V character and achieve the anonymity that characterises the contemporary pursuit of freedom. Online activists Anonymous used the mask to transpose their characters from text to video.
When online rebels created the darknet as a new kind of haven, the symbolism of November 5th was brought along with proclamations and celebrations on the day itself (with free drugs replacing bonfires). The anonymity of V has become an even stronger symbol in this realm where anonymity is an existential condition. Then the King struck back.
On November 5th 2014 the darknet was struck by operation Onymous, with American and allied law enforcement shutting down sites, seizing bitcoins, and arresting de-anonymized participants. The rebels were virtually executed.
More than any other day November 5th is a living dialogue between people and government. It has evolved from England and gunpowder to worldwide networks and masked protestors.
There is no reason to believe anyone will ever forget the 5th of November.
In 1605 (Guy Fawkes Day -1), a group of rebels including the famous one now on the mask, had an idea: blow up the English Parliament with King James in it, presumably to start over afterwards over with a government closer to the people. The "Gunpowder Plot" failed when Fawkes was discovered "guarding" his bomb.
James felt this operational shortcoming was further proof of his divine right to rule and it is the celebration of Fawke's failure that is the basis of the holiday. For 3 centuries it was mandatory to celebrate the squashing of rebellion and burn an effigy of Fawkes; the popular masks are actually a prop, part of the fun that surrounds an otherwise chilling reminder of what happens to rebels in England.
It wasn't until the 1980s that Alan Moore's V for Vendetta character started the backfiring of the intended celebration of Guy Fawkes day. As a modern day Guy Fawkes V exploded empty buildings and only shed the blood of those that had previously hurt him personally. The classic graphic novel was made into a film and in the 21st century Guy Fawkes masks were used by protestors as a means to build upon the emotions of the V character and achieve the anonymity that characterises the contemporary pursuit of freedom. Online activists Anonymous used the mask to transpose their characters from text to video.

It wasn't to start the government over, it was to replace a protestant monarch with a catholic one. The will of the people had nothing to do with it.
I think maybe it owns us! Seems that masked revolts are spreading around the world.

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'.

Strange answers to the psychopath test
We get so used to our own minds that its hard to see how people can be so fundamentally different.
We get so used to our own minds that its hard to see how people can be so fundamentally different.
Fascinating. There’s a really good BBC Horizon documentary on psychopathy. It features a researcher who was taking MRI scans of prisoners convicted of violent crimes and managed to associate inactivity in a certain part of the brain with psychopathy. He then decided out of curiosity to scan the brains of a few members of his family and found one of the scans matched the patterns of some of the prisoners, and it was his own brain. He then delved deeper and determined he was a psychopath however because he had a happy, well rounded upbringing, he still learnt right from wrong even though he didn’t have empathy towards others. They also discuss on the episode the evolutionary advantage of psychopaths and possible reasons of why the traits remain in the gene pool. It’s a really interesting subject!
yeah saw that, was pretty interesting...it's both nature and nurture that affects personality it would seem.
Exactly. Just the same as how a non psychopath can have the capacity to do abhorrent acts, a psychopath has the capacity to be a good person so long as the environment and experiences of that individual teach and allow it.
Yes,there gets a point in some people’s lives when they realise ‘ they aren’t normal and never will be’—it’s a horrible life.
Great video - music was slightly terrifying :-)
Shows that labels are so so dangerous and we are constantly looking to put people in a nice little box, thinking we know it all - shame as the uniqueness of each human being is what we should be embracing

Personally cities are the most crowded and loneliest places on earth. Small undeveloped villages have imo happier more content folk;)
probably true but villagers are very much self selected. its easier to leave a lot of these places than stay.
I've experienced alienation and isolation in cities, but on the other hand I grew up in a coveted rural part of the UK and it now feels like a retirement home for those who can arbitrage their metro area homes and live off fat pensions here. It's increasingly like suburbia down to the aesthetic of the houses, increased prevalence of out of town shopping and total car dependence to do anything. Folks from major cities and the South East fall in love with the idea of rural England from their holidays, then transform it into a copy of the suburbs that they fled from. Access to nature aside, it's pretty dull and has very few work and social opportunities so I can't wait to move back to the city personally.
Munich is a great place to visit. Granted, I haven't lived there, but it's clean, friendly, multi-cultural and there's plenty to do. Oh, and the beer is tops.
super vibe, fun yet safe enough for small kids to walk around, friendly but shit gets done right.
No sure I’d call it a Big City but of all the cities I’ve been to and that’s many, I’d say Copenhagen is the one I’d like to live, it’s no metropolis but it’s just incredible.
I think the UN will say that as I don’t think they really care that much about our “quality of life”. I don’t think a city can ever provide full quality due to noise and light pollution. We need nature..we need quiet..we need to dark in order to reset ..just my two cents anyway ;)
There are only 33 cities ranked “mega” in the world, even London doesn’t qualify and neither do most European capitals. Generally they are shithole Chinese & Indian with over 10m population.
My pick without a doubt however would be Buenos Aires..👍👍

Flew direct from BA to Auckland, New Zealand, now that was a long flight...
Flat Earthers claim the flight doesn't actually exist as it disproves their map, but I can assure them it does. It's bloody long and pretty scary if you consider there's no land mass anywhere near the flight path for like 13 hours, except Antarctica, which isn't an ideal place to land in an emergency! Haha.
Anyway yeah, BA is beautiful.💖
They say that Melbourne is supposedly the best city for quality of life, but having been there I suspect the only people that are voting for that city as No.1, are the ones that have never left it.
Just my 2p though.
Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

such different cities, melbourne is english and has its ass nicely tightened up. ba is an italian/spanish romance.
I'd advise you don't call any Melburnian "English". They're not too keen on us Brits.
Modern Argentina as a whole is a melting pot of cultures, German being one, (for various unscrupulous reasons).
But yes I agree, Buenos Aires is the so called 'Paris' of South America. The European influence is everywhere.
Funnily enough I saw a Bulldog being walked in a park in BA. 😂

I went to Australia for a ‘year’ well meant to be a year, came back home after 2 months, just didn’t get the appeal at all. Wasn’t what I’d call eye opening or life changing in anyway.
It's basically a history-less, hot UK with dangerous animals and Scandi standards of living.

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.

t break tips?
i'm a dedicated on the daily for decades dude.
now on t-break; day 1 and 2 are pretty easy, residue perhaps. day 3 is hell and i remember this from last time. any advice before i reach for the pipe?

I find that switching to edibles helps. The way you process THC differs between smoking and eating, so a week on edibles will see the smoking hit harder when you start again.
As Blazin said dude, edibles. Apparently the pathways for smoking and edibles/consumed THC are completely different, so you can have edibles, get baked, and then when you start smoking again you should have achieved your desired break.
I've seen your products, what kind of dose would your recommend for someone with an addictive personality, trying to take a t-break?
I know weeds not physically addictive but damn I get really psychologically addicted, after 3 days all I can think of is weed lmao, nasty moods, bad sleep, no energy...
I have always just got through it, mostly cold turkey, but if theres some way I can ease the "pain" without relying on harsher things, I'm open minded

We recommend working with very low doses so you can focus on your daily routine but the dose helps you connect to yourself and your mindset, and creates an open heart space where you'll become more observant of the "why" you get psychologically swayed. It helps connect neurological pathways and in the end you look at everything differently...not only the addiction but every part of your life ;-)
Interesting after reading the other comments, I would have thought since wether edible, vaped or smoked it's still THC so it would all be the same tolerance. I'll have to look into that. Not saying guys are wrong ofc :)
Sadly for me, I have a very high tolerance to edibles (lacking an enzyme or something perhaps) even after t-breaks -150mg for a slight buzz xD So this would never be an option for me lol.
I heard about microdosing shrooms or LSD but haven't tried myself wonder if any biggas have

I saw a video that explained the difference between eating vs smoking/vaping THC. The liver apparently attaches something called a hydroyxl group to the D9 molecules when it processes them which turns them into 11-Hydroxy-THC. It's this new molecule that gets you stoned when eaten which would explain the difference in effects and individual tolerances.
🤯

Ah! Thanks for this mate. Going to look into this.
I wonder if like for codeine, where some people possess an enzyme that isn't as efficient at breaking it down (or in rarer cases, more efficient), that there is some people with livers that just suck at that process of converting D9 to 11-Hydroxy.
Cos I've certainly never got baked from edibles even with little to no tolerance to any kind of THC.

Yeah, that would make sense.
I've heard of people that can smoke a half oz a day easy but can't handle 50mg of edibles, and others that don't feel anything no matter how much they eat.

Totally agree with the edibles suggestion. CBD products can help too I found that having a CBD vape to hit before bed was a help to get to sleep. Good luck 👍
If you haven't tried it yet then CBD might be worth a go (just not the weak crap like Holland & Barrett sell). I'm not really into edibles but CBD buds and distillate are really good to vape/smoke and you could make your own edibles from those, and there are high-strength CBD gummies out there too although I've never tried them myself.
I've found that exercise helps . You just have to pick up the pace for a bit , say a week or two . Cardio . It makes you feel good too.
Also a lot of reading .
Then you'll be back stronger ;)

How Our Reality May Be a Sum of All Possible Realities
For a particle traveling through space, the amplitudes of more or less straight paths all point essentially in the same direction, amplifying each other. But the amplitudes of winding paths point every which way, so these paths work against each other. Only the straight-line path remains, demonstrating how the single classical path of least action emerges from unending quantum options.
This is something I've pondered. My theory is our brains are quantum computers that decipher the universe. Let's not forget how our observation and perception actually changes the make up of the universe. We know that energy/matter are interchangeable and that particles can behave as waves. Diagrams of particles are shown as circles, these are spheres of probability - where we think the particles may be. We know that what we perceive as solid physical matter is 90% empty space. Therefore, our brain instantly calculated the average location of every particle in a structure to perceive it. This could be in an infinite number of ways so we see one version of infinite.

What is Neo Feudalism?
As governments take over the economy partnering with corporations and the super rich we are left with something that looks a lot like feudal times.
I think there has always been feudalism in one form or another. There is always a class that ultimately owns everything because they can confiscate it, grant it a "title" or tax it. This premise always leads to same outcome it's just a matter of how greedy or insane the current landlord is.
Everything consolidates one way or another, thats why decentralization is both great and doomed.
Anthropologist David Graeber did a book about about this myth called Debt. There is no evidence for class dominant economics bar this relatively small and recent period of time. Obviously the myth has more value than the reality.
probably starting from the neolithic era yes with the only exception of the 20th century, the only period of history where people got a bit of control of the power. Now is going to be lost for decades to come.
We need to look on the bright side, we are actually free serfs. We are free to seek a new master and we can seek redress in the crown courts, unfree serfs couldn't. However if we hadn't spent so much bit coin here we might actually be free with the value of it now.
I call it digital feaudalism. And yes, we have never really exited the feudal system. It just morphs and transforms, keeping the 1% at the top, making almost all the rest their slaves.
Thanks for sharing.
I see examples of this not just on the internet but in all industries. Walk down most high streets here in the UK and they now pretty much all look identical the same shops, coffee shops and chain restaurants with very few independent offerings. The cost of rent, business rates and all the red tape make it pretty much impossible nowadays for small independents to even start up.
Watching a show about fisherman on the BBC painted a picture of the EU quota system they must use and how the industry is dominated by money and huge boats and how these owners buy up small fishing boats and take the quotas these boats have to use on the mega trawlers.
The car industry seems totally monopolised now and we actually get very little choice - notice how the different makers share chassis and engines and the only real difference you get is the interior and badge. Everything else is pretty much controlled by rules and regulations.
It is obvious that these big players of industry are in cahoots with the those that set the rules and regulations as we saw with the emissions scandal with VW and EU collaboration.
Covid and lockdowns have exacerbated the situation as many small business owners left without any financial supports have gone to the wall while government loans to the huge corporations sit unused in their bank accounts.
Truly depressing times.

This is the model dreamed up by Gabrielle D'Nunzio, Mussolini, Franco and later tried by Stroessner, Pinochet and Thatcher. Always fails cos tho i am a committed capitalist even i realise extraction cannot work for ever as either you run out of victims (Franco, Pinochet) or the victims turn on you (Mussolini, Thatcher) At least Il Duce didn't cry when his turn came, Thatcher mewled and puked like a rat.
Fascinating. Bleak. truly people have been brainwashed by the media and now vote with their wallets. Far more regulation required at the top end, we cant stop the progress, and in many ways it serves us well. Democracy can still win the day, and we can unite for the good of all people. Education is the key, and a few good humans can change the world. It cant be allowed that rampant free market capitalism destroys us. Roll on technical singularity, according to Moores law would be around 2042 but i believe the theory is faultering (Moores law) so might take a bit longer. Technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, resulting in unforeseeable changes to human civilization. We have just leisure time so we study philosophy and all becone enlightened beings living in a tech utopia. Peace
Moore's law is doing fine once you abstract it to include progress besides chip density. Computation overall is on track when you include advances in software and a.i.
it will take more than economics for everyone to spend their leisure time studying philosophy. but im with you at least
Hope so but would we be the same beings, even the same species? I think Nietszche was mostly a clown but "homo, ecce homo" hits home
What is Neo Feudalism and being British mean?
Neo-feudalism refers to a concept that draws parallels between modern societal structures and the feudal system of the Middle Ages. It suggests that power and wealth are concentrated in the hands of a few influential individuals or entities, leading to a significant wealth disparity and limited social mobility. In a neo-feudalistic system, there may be an entrenched hierarchy, with a small elite class exerting control over economic, political, and social aspects, while the majority of the population faces limited opportunities and struggles to improve their circumstances.
Being British refers to being a citizen or a resident of the United Kingdom or having a connection to British culture and heritage. It typically implies a sense of national identity associated with the customs, traditions, and values of the British people. It encompasses aspects such as the English language, British history, British institutions, and cultural practices that are prevalent in the UK. However, it's important to note that "being British" can mean different things to different people, as it can encompass a diverse range of identities and perspectives within the multicultural society of the United Kingdom,

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

Which Killer Robots to Team Up With?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Yes, I wish the bots were colder, like the code that runs bitcoin. Open code is what this place needs more than anything else.
Thanks pal, not quite sure what rattled coldspurs but they clearly needed to get me off their chest😂😉
If one doesn't get at least some in here, I think one is being too nice.
Still, I killed man with kindness and upvoted that link.
Wonder if they find the wall helpful for finding the things they want?
I don't. Still, bookmarking pages is pretty easy.

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

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

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

I agree with Polly, bigger issues onsite to be looked into than fake giveaways, this is a start, hopefully more positive changes are made soon. 💯

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

The borgs picking the wrong fight,sort your wall out,fix the pricing from usd.i mean you got someone who's contributing to lb with giveaways to biggas and its getting jumped on.Theres more important stuff that needs fixing
You do have to love this. Biggy all involved in contests. People enter. They win. They don’t win. Nobody really cares.
When it comes to a payment system that doesn’t bankrupt everyone.
Silence. You ain’t seen us.
Vendors. Keep doing your competitions. Nobody gives 3 shits even if they are fixed. Nobody is losing.
And if all the drama is someone getting butthurt.
Meh. We’ve been there.

Because it's declared a subjective contest.
The contest runner as judge is the basis of most subjective contests irl (think of tv shows). However in our case the declared winner is run against anti cybil algos that are used elsewhere on lb. We also have the voice of the other participants and the ongoing reputation stakes that drive analysis like this.

Seemed a bit harsh shutting Pistach latest contest down before even giving them chance to say how the winners would be decided.... I'm not saying that just because I entered btw! but surely if your point is to prove it's fair then you have to actually let the sellers prove it's fair?
They have all been for manipulation to gain self promotion and unfair ness in community. - They are all "worked" like politics. Clearly easy to work out the agenda of it all. Yet others got smacked up for less.

Possible scam ?
I placed an order on the 31st August and the package is still missing. I contact the vendor on his channels, he sent me a tracking number from an old number starting on the 24th august. I explain its old and i need the one from the new order, he send me the new tracking number and the parcel has not had an update since the 4th of September. I proceed to make a dispute and the seller send an old tracking number again saying it was already delivered, but the tracking starts like 6 days before the order was created.
I feel like because i have a new account im gonna get shafted on this auto dispute thing. Is there anyone i can contact about an actual scam ?

Remember seeing them a couple of times, also at Glastonbury (and maybe Reading 92?). The song I liked most by them was a cover of Public Enemy's '(She Watch) Channel Zero' if memory serves. Think I got a free 7" copy as it was given out at one of the gigs.
Could it have been Reading '94? There was a metal/rap crossover thing going on back then. I used to like messing with people on the street by cranking it up in the car stereo. "What was that? Sounds like that rapping tripe but also that head banging nonsense? I say..."
Probably looked like a right dick but hey, youth and all that...
Probably looked like a right dick but hey, youth and all that...
Yeah, I actually found a gig flyer from 94 buried in my ‘man’ drawer and the last day lists Soundgarden and Special Guests. After the festival I crossed out Soundgarden (didn’t turn up) and put Therapy? in place. I also ticked the bands I could ‘remember’ seeing (Lemonheads has ‘bit’ next to it, actually over exaggerated as can’t recall who, what or how they sound!)
What I find funny is the lack of ticks. Mainly due to Whisky for breakfast each day and copious amounts of weed!
Good festival last week.
What festival?… oh is that when I was shitting in a Pringles tube instead of those godawful sewerage tardis sweat boxes?
Yep, that was it!
Ahhh, those were the days… 🤪

Sorry, never saw this! I must be wrong as I only went to Reading in 92, mainly to see Public Enemy and Nirvana. Never really considered it a "festival", more of a 3 day gig. Must have been Glasto then as I went every year it was on from '85 to '96 when I decided it was no longer a fabulous freak show that they were trying to shut down every year and instead had become an "event" on the social calendar for the middle classes desperately pretending to be bohemians for a weekend and bookable only by credit card. Used to be that the police weren't even allowed on site and they buzzed us with helicopters! Changed days indeed.
Next week on "old man shouts at clouds" listen whilst old punks decry the death of "real music" and call for the death penalty for producers and artists who use auto-tune in every single feckin' one of their 'music as painting-by-number' songs...

Ha! There was lots of stuff like this around in the early/mid nineties and beyond. Tons of great tunes in all sorts of genres fusing, boppin' and giving your noggin' a floggin'. Here's a couple more for you but there are so so many to choose from. Nothin' new under the sun children ;-)

Hi Ghetto Bikes
That album really was a product of its times which is why it's such a 90s throwback.
Rap-rock was definitely enough of a thing to get named as such in Guitar Player magazine back then.
The Judgement Night oundtrack was mentionned on LB lately but one of my fave was the Dutch band Urban Dance Squad. Also Rollins Band Weight is a classic as well as ICe T's Bodycount plus a few obscure one like this one:

That ain't filler. The man appears to be on a fairly big dose of steroids. I'd imagine he's quite unwell and probably not long for this world.
If he hasn’t got long, this makes him very dangerous. Coupled with the fact a lot of the drugs elderly take effect the mind without them knowing.
I fear ill health is wishful thinking. Looks like he's spent a bundle on plastic surgery to me. That said, it's probably better for a lot of people if he's not at death's door.
If only we could “fast forward to the bit where he shoots himself in the bunker”…..followed by eternal damnation in the flames of Hell fire with a red hot pitchfork up his bum hole.

The war in Ukraine can go back to 2008 when they first stated their intention to join Nato. Putin reiterated then how that would unfold so we pushed the button again in 2014. Remember what's good for goose is good for the gander. If the US didn't like missiles in Cuba, why would we expect Russia wouldn't feel hard done by expanding east constantly
See, I hear that, but people only question what they don't agree with, or in the case of some people, what they're told not to agree with.
What security guarantees did Russia offer Ukraine though? You must know that Ukraine was rightfully concerned in 2008, Russia had occupied Abkhazia and South Ossetia in Georgia, who was to be next?
Ultimately, nobody but the arms manufacturers want war, but Ukraine cant surrender without losing their identity and half their lands. Their future is fucked. Not that anyone that supports Russia even gives a flying fuck about that.

It's going to be a mess and your entirely right in what you say about arms dealers being the only profiteers of war.
I only see it ending with either Ukraine giving up the 4 Oblasts and agreeing to never join Nato or.. Russia surrender due to it escalating and somehow we avoid nuclear catastrophe. Both choices are so wide apart im not sure what could make up the middle ground.

If Ukraine was to surrender their lands, then I'd say only if they were entered into NATO, which enables their future security, and the lands would need to be demilitarised.
Tell ye what, if time was reversed and we were being invaded or attacked by a foreign power, I damn well hope there will be nations that would support us.
There is fuck all to defend with Russia in invading Ukraine, but 'Merica bad, lets not question things and support Russia.

That's a fed up topic honestly.
No one should wish anyone death. All I can say is that I dont trust any governments at all, let it be Russia,China or USA/Nato member countries. All of these govs are doing shady things, acting in their own aswell as corporate interests. Not trying to hate, but if you wanna see putin dead you should also wanna see many other international leaders/presidents dead. All I can say that I condone wishing anyone a tragic or painful death.

Can someone tell me why Americans think guns are the definition of freedom?
Americans are happy to devote decades of their lives to supporting an overseas war machine as they gobble up jingoistic bullshit in their media.
They are taxed and regulated as mush as socialist countries but get little benefits in return, all the while being spied on to a standard that would make the Gestapo proud.
They are fine with all of this damage to their liberty as long as they keep their guns, is this just some kind of penis fixation?

I don't expect many to understand, and it's not something you can relate to unless you've walked a similar path,but... during my traveling work days, I experienced more than once the need to carry a firearm.
permitted to carry concealed, allowed me the chance to go back home and see my family again.
you are entitled free speech and your freedom of views, just remember, the crime or bad folks don't follow ANY rules and could care less about your politics. take away the good man's right to protect himself, and become their next target, as security is just a word.
(understand that police have NO obigation to protect you or your family, they strictly uphold the law...)

Because freedom is only delivered through the end of a gun (unfortunately)
And if you don’t have a gun someone with a gun will take your freedom away
The only part of history you can guarantee is true freedom comes at the end of a sword/gun

i don't think the american colonies outgunned england and i'm sure that's not how it went down in india or in the 1990s in eastern europe.
freedom is obtained through will and persistence like a lot of things around this earth.

I'll go with the penis fixation. I don't own a gun - don't want one - guns are for killing. It's the second amendment in the American Bible, er, "Bill of Rights". Funny thing is that the pro-life people are usually pro-gun. Just doesn't make sense.
Guns do not kill... the person using it KILLS... I use them to kill clay pigeons. and just imagine it's someone i hate. lol ;)
By that reasoning the murder rate in the likes of El Salvador, Honduras etc. is purely down to the types of people that live there and not to the availability of guns. Obviously incorrect. You need someone willing to kill AND a gun to shoot someone dead.
I am not black but I am a 6'5' 300+ pound white mail. when I get out of my car I have yet seen my public servent have his on his gun when he see's me. I have never been shot , but I have been scared you never know when They might get scared and shoot. I am always as helpful and curtice I can makke cause I want to live and pissing of armed cops is not a healthy way to live. When they start treating you like shit , remember it will you a lot more then it will him.
Not saying you're fat but it's interesting that fat white dudes are credible rappers and also eyed by the police like black dudes.
No one can grant anyone rights, unless we agree that they can. Plenty folks will tell you you're not free unless unless always unless. You are free if you say you are. And you're not if you're not (royal you, not you you, but yes, also you 😜). You can be in a prison cell and be totally free. You can be a rich fat white cunt with acres of land and be completely imprisoned. It's in the mind. Sure, there may well be folks who contest your freedom, tell you you're not free, tell you you must this and you mustn't that if you want your "rights" intact. Nonsense. There, that's my two penny's (or cents, since the topic started in the US) spent and I'm skint for the night.
They didn’t. Our rights are God given and they are inalienable. The Bill of Rights protects them, or at least that’s how it’s supposed to work.
I’m not trying to start something here but I really want to understand how these rights are God given. Can you explain?
That’s ok. We are born free and we are born with certain God given rights, which are inalienable. This is just the way it is, like having a right to clean drinking water. We have the right to protect ourselves and our property. In the UK we still have the right to bear arms, but it has been hidden from us using legislation and obfuscation. Most people don’t understand that they are supposed to be free, so they put up with buffoons and paedo Freemasons dictating what they can and can’t do. This is one of the reasons why we pay income tax, which is unlawful but not illegal. The law is simple: No loss, no harm, no injury, no fraud.
Straw man stuff really opened my mind a good decade ago. The financial system is a good place to begin ones journey back into realising one was always free and one just didn't know it. Look at me, getting all queenly with the "ones". Did you say freemasons? 😉
Thanks for the response Camber I appreciate it but I’m still struggling with the God given bit. It’s not as if Moses came down from the mountain with a commandment saying Americans can have AR15s. I don’t mean to sound flippant I just don’t understand it
That’s ok, you’re not coming across as flippant.
“God given” is simply a term. It applies to atheists as well. Try to understand what it means to be born a free man. Eg: Monetisation of another man’s labour, without his consent, is slavery and it is unlawful. So why do we pay income tax? Did you consent to this?
The Founding Fathers were Christians, hence ‘God given’ Replace ‘God given’ with ‘pre-existing’

It was a rural place and hunting was very common. If you start from that perspective and then think of the government coming in and taking the guns away you start to understand.
Not being American but my take on it is simply history, god made men Samuel Colt made all men equal… You can hunt so can provide for yourself and your family, you can defend yourself and your family from threats, and I guess Homer said it best with ‘If You Don't Have A Gun, The King Of England Can Just Walk In Here And Shove You Around’ And for Americans it was true, it’s the reason they were free, the gun. I think the vast majority of people would agree if there were NO guns then the world would be a better place, BUT if bad guys, police, army have guns and you don’t then you’re simply powerless to anyones will. So if they have guns yeah I also want a gun.
I could be wrong but I’m sure the law to carry guns came into action as to kill Indians as white man was expanding in America.?
1. The Wild West is recent history in a young nation and was really really wild. Ditto the Civil War.
2. Hollywood is real. The good guy always shoots the bad guy. (With armed private citizens this is hardly ever the outcome, but who cares about reality?)
3. A lot of yanks are cunts?

The right to bear arms is to shoot the British, not the Indians. The theory is if everyone has guns, the government can't be oppressive and tyrannical. In practice, however, you just end up with gut-shot schoolkids. Guns are fun though tbf
They need their guns lots of wild animals running about on two legs out their nuts on prescription drugs with guns.

It’s a national identity! They feel they wouldn’t be Americans without the ability to kill somebody instantly.
It might be useful to differentiate the American people and American foreign policy. It seems you have conflated the two, whereas looking at the American people and domestic policy might yield better results. Guns are completely illegal in China and as we all know, China is one of the most liberated places to live on the planet! The second amendment in the US was created to provide a constitutional check on congressional power was as an auxiliary right, supporting the natural rights of self-defense and resistance to oppression. My family live in the USA and right now, gun ownership is anything from a penis fixation, it's security and peace of mind. I would rather get shot than stabbed any day of the week. Knife crime is equally as concerning in my book.
I'm hoping that you picked up the sarcasm in my 'China is liberated' comment. Reading it back, it doesn't come across too clearly.
hear ya my friend. thought i was doing the same ;) with your comment. i read it both ways (with/without sarcasm) I wouldn't criticise either. just own my private thoughts lol. stay as safe as this "Pandemic" will let you. Gaz
No, the founding fathers recognised the likely leadership America was likely to get would be those psychopaths you identify - a neolib psychopathic war machine at the helm. Without the right to bear arms, the citizens of the US would be unable to defend themselves against these psychos in control. Have you not noticed that the MSM (totally controlled by the same psychos) is relentlessly pushing for "gun control" - can you not see their agenda here? To disarm the citizens of the US would be to disarm all potential opposition to these globalist psychopaths in their pursuit of a NWO, hence the relentless media to demonize gun ownership. Are you are aware that you are statistically more likely to die from an unprovoked knife wound in London than you are to die from an "unprovoked" gun shooting in the US?

Anis Varoufakis: We are living in a post-capitalist dystopia
Greek economist, author, and politician Yanis Varoufakis argues, “This is how capitalism ends: not with a revolutionary bang, but with an evolutionary whimper. Just as it displaced feudalism gradually, surreptitiously, until one day the bulk of human relations were market-based and feudalism was swept away, so capitalism today is being toppled by a new economic mode: techno-feudalism.”
Greece was the experiment. An entire nation sold out by a couple of politicians one of which was this chap.
He is like a left wing Jordan Peterson making lots of money writing about the obvious that most fail to see.

Tell me you don't know what happened in Greece without telling me lol. The EU and IMF sold out Greece, Yannis was trying to negotiate fair terms for it's debt. Same thing happened to Ireland and Spain.
Jordan Peterson is a fraud, comparing Yannis to him is ludicrous.

The Greek economy was already fucked well before Syriza got into power, infact that's why they got elected, because the previous governments had let the IMF break the country.
The financial crisis and Greek failure happened between 2009-2015, Yannis was elected in 2015 so to try blame them for anything before 2015 is a straight up lie.

And he and them lasted 6 months, after agreeing to austerity like the last lot. With no irony, Syriza means radical. Bout as radical as Pat Sharp.

Worst Star Trek Series of All Time?
Really? The 2nd season was annoying as any grade school social propaganda but I thought the 1st season was right up there near the best Trek.

I loved the opener with Klingons on Earth but even then it kept getting dumber with that poor man's Kirk routine from this guy. It seems like he belongs in an old Disney movie playing off a car.
Discovery by a long way for me. It just didn’t feel like Star Trek. Rewatched all of Enterprise recently and it was way better than I remembered.
Really? The 2nd season was annoying as any grade school social propaganda but I thought the 1st season was right up there near the best Trek.
I’m sure I’ll rewatch it in a couple of years and have a fresh perspective. I just couldn’t handle ( forgive me if I’m taking Star Trek too seriously ? )the fact that, fundamentally Star Fleet is military, yes? How did Tilly make it onto a military vessel? Even Reg Berkeley for all his foibles had a semblance of respect for the fact he was on a military mission. I love Joss Whedon’s dialogue and sass but he’s an inappropriate inspiration for Star Trek characters.
A Trekker with some chops, welcome aboard sir. How would you rank Saru? I thought he was better than Data and right under Spock until they destroyed his character in the 2nd season.
saru should be carrying more of the woke issues (he's got several dimensions to work with) and let the humans stop being caricatures.
Can you remember when Enterprise was on channel 4 on a Sunday and if there was a two part one, they would show part one and forget to put part two on the week after!
totally agree. I watched part of discovery with my flatmate who hasn't seen any other trek series, she loves it and i feel nothing for it. I feel like it was made to bring in new fans
might try re watching enterprise but i don't have much hope for that either.
might try re watching enterprise but i don't have much hope for that either.
For me it has to be Enterprise. Even the theme music felt wrong to me. It felt like the cast never really jelled and as a result the whole thing feels flat and disappointing.
Maybe its time to consider re-watching Enterprise? Perhaps it will age like a fine wine! ?
I'm waiting for this thread to descend into a Star Trek vs. Star Wars debate, but we all know there is only one winner....
Live long and prosper ?

No. Don’t bother. It’s dreadfully noughties. Faux jeopardy and bad acting galore. Thank god Firefly came along when it did
Picard. It breaks my heart to say it, but what a huge disappointment. Patrick Stewart was wasted on that tripe.
Discovery has to be a close second it's not terrible but it's not really Trek.

Not sure how old this thread is but what are my fellow biggie Trekkies thinking about ‘Strange new worlds’? On Paramount +
Enjoyed voyager except for Tom Paris and his boring holodeck programme. Any episode in which he was the main character were crap but just my opinion !
the latest movies, running the same plot as the wrath of khan but instead of being in their mid 50s...which was the point of the plot...they were like 11..and it made zero sense...see now spock isnt a vulcan at all in his behaviour, he shouts and looses it like a moron...star trek is written by retarded 9 year olds now...like most hollywood crap
I kinda loved them it was nice to see a real budget at work, actually saw the 1st one in 4d.
I was going to say DS9 but I actually enjoy the later seasons. The original show was so dated I couldn’t bother to watch it. Enterprise was dire but short lived. Honestly I don’t think trek has bad series... the new films on the other hand ???

The illusion of evidence based medicine
i have no idea what you're talking about
The illusion of evidence based medicine
The advent of evidence based medicine was a paradigm shift intended to provide a solid scientific foundation for medicine.
The validity of this new paradigm, however, depends on reliable data from clinical trials, most of which are conducted by the pharmaceutical industry and reported in the names of senior academics.
The validity of this new paradigm, however, depends on reliable data from clinical trials, most of which are conducted by the pharmaceutical industry and reported in the names of senior academics.

Self Awareness is Just a Hack on Your Awareness of Others
The theory that mirror neutrons eventually turned inward is a strong one.
Vilayanur Ramachandran has gained lots of insights from people with various defects, it makes for very dramatic demonstrations.
Don't computers have something like mirror neurons? That's like the basis of machine learning.
Deep. Some food for thought: Elon musk recently said that raising a child is just 18 years of “prompt engineering”. Similar to how we would train an AI model, from its original training data to the parameters we set, it’s able to be trained to do ANYTHING - all dependent on the prompts we input. Therefore the real value lies in engineering the “best” prompts to get the desired results. Akin to raising a child, if we can engineer the right environment or thought patterns to allow the child to make the connections and conclusions based on that environment we have solved the puzzle to get whatever outcome we want from that child. This is why they call them neutral networks because they are literally modelled off the brain. I imagine watching an AI model grow and make its own connections between data points is just like watching a child grow and make connections between different data points in the real world. Interesting stuff.

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.
He gives me hope that the revolution is unstoppable, that an exit from a corrupted society is not only possible but inevitable.
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?
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.

trump says he will free ross ulbricht
Let the Circus begin… just like he said he free Julian Assange, bread and circuses for the not so clever…
If he can’t keep his big mouth shut then the Judge will have to take that into consideration.
I want to see him get community service. Cleaning up litter from Central Park. Something nice and publicly humiliating.

War's with biden or no wars with trump??
Is this the world we live in now that we would rather have all this conflict all over the place??
Ever since biden messed up in Afghanistan the world has not been the same do you not remember what happened there a few years back have we got such goldfish brains???

what to do when you can't reach little biggy
You can also reach society with the brave browser in "new private window with tor"

what to do when you can't reach little biggy
the little biggy federation is a network of independently operated platforms with live littlebiggy data and functionality, plus content of their own. society can be reached via the tor onion network using the tor browser (https://www.torproject.org/download/).
can anyone help me with society ? ... I have d/loaded brave but each time I click on the above society link it doesn't work ? ...am I being stupid or too stoned ?
make sure you have the tor browser option going in brave or just use the onion browser, its better anyway
I used the Tor browser ( rpund purple icon, half solid and half a target; as no idea if tor is a brand or terminology) and once it loaded & opened - I had a bar at the bottom that I cut and pasted into and pressed go. Then came here to test
I can’t see anything on Items wall to change your country. Where is it on that page? I think I need to set my country as my orders won’t go to payment. Would appreciate any help with Society. In UK using Onion browsers on iOS. Thanks
From the Items Wall, select your vendor. Under their ‘Manifesto’ at the top of the page is ‘Select Country’ with a drop down menu👍
Thank you for heads up and keeping us updated, it's much appreciated.
Its been fun learning all this new stuff, made me raise my game. Reminded me of how I came about this place in the first place.
Its been fun learning all this new stuff, made me raise my game. Reminded me of how I came about this place in the first place.
if you use the tor brwoser make sure you have javascript turned on or several functions wont work.
Hi Ike, I’m struggling to order on Society, how do I turn have script on? I am using iOS. Thanks
On IOS you must select the lowest security level (bronze) instead of the default (silver) on Onion otherwise it auto disables JavaScript….
Just had a huge payment disappear into the ether while jumping between Clearnet and Society because clearnet just dropped out during the process. Its obvious the whole thing is breaking down. Between that and the RM strikes ruining Christmas I think it's best to go old skool for a bit. It's been a fun run though.
there is no loss of payment information between federation members. if your data isnt showing please contact
cryptonic help (society) transaxe support (little biggy)
both are accessible via littlebiggy.org/
and

eg http://societytxpukcvelwgkcfb76yni5a7n5iiueaxcwwgr73koycicrxqad.onion/4771150
give them the btc address you sent to and your payment will be refunded if it wasnt processed.

{Economics}
AI So What. There will always be work.
This humble and intelligent professor explains how machine replacement of jobs works out for people; it's always in ways that are new and unimaginable. It is certain we are in for a great time with A.I. enabling us to to incredible stuff.
cory doctrow has an interesting perspective on this, saying that all the displacement from global warming and increased healthcare needs will keep humans busy for a very long time.
with all due respect it can take a bullet, sacrifice its life, and draw on millions of previous occurrences. that's a helluva start.
What if the people who's lives are at risk all get replaced by robots? Also, isn't that what a self driving car is doing constantly?
cars have relatively simple rules and a very fixed environment. interpreting a dangerous human is a much, much harder problem
AI is well past any notion or idea we can fathom. AI dosent follow ANY rule we stand by.
We as humans will never quite grasp the entire picture, while AI has already found the end of the road. there are things in basic sciences kept from most people, like gravity drives, the TIME axis (think twister/tornado), scalar waves, over unity devices, etc... AI wont follow the bounds because its supressed by money or greed...
we as humans can TRY to think what will happen, but in all reality, were already in the losing seat without any hope for a "comeback kid story"
Stop thinking in a 3rd dimension mindset, and learn quantum physics a little. (want to be totaly mindblown?? look up QUANTUM radar- and how its actualy In use RIGHT NOW!)
--note-- the united states has 3 confirmed quantum computers in use! (i accidently came across one when i traveled for work, but most people wouldnt know to look at the cryogentics involved)
Machine-in-a box- experiment has already proven even the smartest among us, would lose.
me,myself ,personaly, am clueless what outcomes will unfold, but without any doubt , humans are not top priority when AI is really awake. current neuro-nets are mind boggling and google themselves admits they cant explain how its AI created child AI even works. (yes, AI created its own second AI) want to me mind blown again,years ago it was used, look up the AI that was tested in new yorks hospital system. the smartest doctors from the world STILL dont understand what that AI did , and how it was so correct/right 97%.)
i wont lie and say its all terminator 2JD, but that is one possible outcome. we as fellow fleshy companions should enjoy life now and every moment. we wont have many opertunities when AI is out of the box.
Note: its not IF , but WHEN, and WHEN happens?? ---will humans stand a chance or will an outaide force be required? (aliens, god, let your mind wander)

I think its like retirement age is on the horizon and humans need to decide what they are going to do with all the free time.
I think its like retirement age is on the horizon and humans need to decide what they are going to do with all the free time.
I totally disagree. AI is the continuation of the same pyramid model of which history has proven that it's bound to fail. The resources needed are of a scale that requires heavy (and never ending) financial investments. The food eaten by AI is data. The provider: humanity.
The larger the scale of data one can feed, the better the AI (and it's owners) can fingerprint, the more refined it's targeting.
Let's take an example of "AI" that we all know:
Software Antivirus:
Supposed to be the guardian that protects an operating system against 'threats' and 'threat actors using a variety of techniques to identify them. Pattern based detection, behavioural analysis and heuristics (an expensive word for: 'guesstimating' or an 'educated' guess). Your antivirus is part of a swarm that provides the antivirus vendor with data on new threats and their geographic impact.
However:
The data you provide is 'free', there is no reward or any form of renumeration for the infrastructure that you provided. A computer is not free, internet is not free, the power needed is also not free and although there are free AV solutions, most demand a subscription fee.
In return you get a product and service which does not provide any guarantees that it will adequately protect you against 'threats'.
In reality AV is becoming a relic.
Human intelligence has outsmarted AV and found ways to circumvent it using the 'Trojan horse' approach or by simple social engineering.
As there was no incentive to find or report security vulnerabilities, the data needed to feed pattern/behavioural dried up.
Heuristics is gambling with historical data, if that data is worthless so are heuristics.
And so is any form of AI hence all media and marketing efforts to portray it as the next best evolution. The driver: more profit less people.
The touted theories about a minimal wage without having to work for it are a continuation of AI Utopia. It would make people dependent on their nations through a socialist measure.
That spells national socialism and fascism.
Think twice before you give out data for free in exchange for a freemium service.

AI are and will be good for work and a suitable replacement for humans, but even when that happens AI will always need us in case something goes wrong. I mean humans created AI, so in the end we’re always gonna have the more important jobs. AI is just there to do jobs in a more efficient way.
AI will come about one day with baby steps at first to "aid humanity" then all of a sudden the rich wont need people to make the food, cars and entertainment.
we will have an outbreak or a massive global reaching catastrophe while they are all hiding in the bunkers lowering the population to around 10% of what it is now and for a while whats left of humanity and the AI that serves them will live in a new golden ages of peace and prosperity ..........
i might of grew up reading a lof of scifi and fantasy
might just be high

im not so sure, anything a human does to recover the system seems doable with a very separate AI
Yes but conflict between AI's might be the most dangerous thing we are looking at here. We are incidental casualties from that perspective. By we I mean humans :)
Yes all the Scifi is about humans vs AI but AI on AI is such a real possibility especially when you consider the fact that governments are mega funding military robots to fight each other.
I'm looking forward to the futher development of AI, especially General AI. I just think it would be so cool to have an amazon alexa sytle AI that you could take round with you and chat to and have a proper engaging conversation with because sometimes I really can't stand to talk to anymore humans aha
The inspiration process is largely about open mindedness, computers are inherently better at this. If you look at some of the early entrees into the arts like painting and even screen writing they are off to a helluva start.
There are AI playlists on Spotify that generate new music based on current trends and preferences.

420 Events
but its fun
420 Events
Asking what anybody or everybody's plans for Saturday 20th 420 events??
I'm thinking Bristol, Castle Park over Hyde Park London. But I say this with 0 experience in a 420 event ever.
Bristol = less feds I'd say
I will have a big bag of freebie grams

Bristol’s too far for me but I hope you have a blast! Nice generous gesture with the grams too!
I’d love to make it to Hyde Park one day for the 420, not sure it’ll be this year though, too many other commitments.

It's not close for me either but since I've had a shop I feel like I should get involved abit more and maybe do some networking
Wouldn’t go Hyde park full of wannabe gangsters and moronic kids who think they’re in the Wild West plus the amount of cameras.
Hadn't given it a thought until reading this, might get the coach to Bristol. Will drop you a PM if we do.
Any happening on the South Coast? Worthing, Brighton, Eastbourne etc?
Would love to go to something.

New vendors
There are new vendors that need to find their feet, coming across all gangster like!! We’ve got the best you can get anywhere!! Trying to pull you across to tel gram
You guys are missing the point here!!
The customer has multiple options, you the vendor have to provide a good service.
This is a place where you have the customers sat waiting. All you have to do is offer your stock at the price you wish.
The LB community will do the rest for you!!
If you really do have the best you can get anywhere, it will be very quickly noticed and you won’t have that product around for long!!
But if you’re full of shit and your product is over priced…. This too will be noticed quickly and you’ll be back on tel gram with your fake money and pictures.
Good honest vendors, with good quality products thrive here!!
And are appreciated for it!!

New Idea Thread
Just review your favourite vendor on trustpilot with your link to their page. Use the share button on the top of the page.
carnivals, just leave piles of cards in interesting places its actually a fun game. knotting hill carnival
- First and easiest is target irl people you know who smoke
- Post LB links on social media, don't be afraid (items, threads, reviews etc)
- Create social media accounts and direct followings to LB
- Distribute paraphernalia and leaflets with reference links embedded in QR codes etc
(Well done to anyone who collected a Weedologist lighter at any canna events!) 💚
If you are unsure where to direct people you could:
Generate your own code from my page and use that as a landing / create your own welcome page with posts and help / direct to a big well known shop who will support them / create a dynamic QR code so you can change the destination link and vary where you send people.
I would also welcome any fresh thoughts or ideas and hopefully we can keep growing this community together 💡

Sell access to littlebiggy:
most people would see this as more valuable than a medical license: no doctors, surveillance, and ratings on all the products.
If you sold a a login with your ref code embedded you would get an upfront payment and the referral code stream.

Hey. Interested in this and was just wondering what your strategy is for token gating access to a site that is ultimately free to sign up and use anyway. Do you offer additional incentives if using your nft?
Could work a lot of ways. Support would be a nice thing to offer to noobs especially in their non-english native language but also with item selection and bitcoin help. You're basically making a premium tier that lots of noobs would like. You could also make a rebate on their 1st purchase since you will be able to see that in your ref code transactions.
I would post to any community where users can verify its legit. I think that's the primary challenge, LB seems to good to be true.
Any chance we can get a guide or chart that shows how many referrals you need to get to the next % increase?
Example:
1 referral per day = 1%
3 referrals per day = 2%
6 referrals per day = 3%
Etc...
I've messaged you 3 times on 3 separate occasions about this but I never get a response
Thanks

We don't track referrals by day and have limited access to data in the current program. This does give us a chance to treat people individually though. We are always happy to look at an any individual's progress and help them grow. Generally speaking to make it to 5% your commissions should be in the $1,000s of revenue per month league.
The best way to get an increase in the meantime is the same way you have twice already: contribute ideas that help the program. This thread is a good place for anyone to do that.

A site like this should have time stamps on posts/threads ect & possible option to be paid in a staple coin would do wonders. I’m a relatively new vendor & the volatility Btc brings is hurting atm.

So, I've been thinking about the paraphernalia distribution and I came to a realisation about something in particular.
The lighter, and in particular the Clipper lighter (or, at a push, Swan) with its removable pokey bit, is a covetable commodity. It's easily lost/stolen/forgotten but it's most importantly also refillable. It could pass through many, many hands, most of them stoners, most of them curious about the chosen logo and QR code. Ever moving, potentially, is the Clipper, with people scanning its QR code out of curiosity, sitting around in beer gardens, parties, or just smoking with a mate.
Your QR code.
No-one refuses a free Clipper, and who can have too many lighters? The guy that steals this one will probably have too many, but will he scan it too...?
Print will wear off quickly, but vinyl wrap can be printed with whatever people want, even potentially vendor logos and QR codes, then they can be put on in bulk. Maybe include one with orders? Your market is out there. Niche country? Even better. Marketing that could be clicked on by dozens, all generating income for you through codes, or, maybe no-one clicks at all?

Band reunions - celebration or desecration?
reckon its a comedy tour
Case by case basis really. Seen Blur at Wembley recently and they were great. Sometimes it's better though to let things be. Stone Roses also good although those 2 new tracks were bad. Good idea to have not bothered with an album.
My Bloody Valentine. Glad they did it. Never saw them in the day.
Depends on the band I guess. Seeing Sleep do Dopesmoker in full was another highlight.

Mate I would not risk it in Dubai. Seriously if you can't go without don't go. They don't mess about with cautions, are highly suspicious and people will grass you up without a second thought. Don't risk decades in jail just for a smoke. Personally I don't go anywhere I can't smoke reasonably safely or a quick bribe won't get you of trouble.
dubai has started to ease out of the cannabis hate. no more jail time, they're justing grabbing it and leaving you alone.
It's PR. The Emirates is a deeply Conservative place. They want to appear more Liberal, but attitudes are religiously linked and remain very hard-line. In Saudi Arabia (different example), women can drive now (but most don't as it's frowned apon). What is reported in the media doesn't reflect reality.
Thing is , you only need to get caught once in SA, to cause irreparable damage to your entire life. Good luck and hope you don’t get caught!
Do not mess about there.. I was in the police prison for 7 day after I fucked up... It cost $90K to pay them off and get my passport back, while i was in the holding police prison there were red jackets that were all looking at 25 year minimum for class A's.
They even had 13-year-old kids in there for having marzipans.
They had this melt from the UK when I was being held who they caught and promised to let go after he helped to capture the rest of his syndicate (a Scouse team) after they finished with him they caught 6 others some just for a ticket and they were all put on the lifers section and he was also told that he was getting life.. The Arabs will promise the earth to get a confession.
They use Israeli spy ware Pegasus that watches for keywords on Whats app etc...
Do not even think about any types of drug taking there 🙏🏽

If you order to your condo then you will probably end up in a free government sponsored condo for the rest of your days.
I’m more than happy to take stealthy products (edibles, carts, caps etc) on my hols, but not there buddy. Not in a million years….
Sod that!
Try smoking some banana peel if you’re desperate instead, you won’t get high but at least you won’t get passed around like a tray of cakes in prison.
You can have your blood and urine tested if they suspect you and failing a test counts as possession and a likely spot of bird!

To reiterate, it seems I'm the only one here who actually did time in Dubai prison for possession with intent to consume. The rules have no changed and there is no more deportation for possession with intent to consume. But if you fuck up in the prosecution and say the stuff wasn't yours or you didn't know , they will charge you with anything from sharing/promotion/selling. Sharing is 5 years. Promotion is 10 years. Selling is 25 years. The quantity of the substance doesn't matter, neither does if it's cannabis or methamphetamine. Cannabis is honestly treated worse than most other drugs.
I did time in 2017 from August to October and I was given a sentence of 3,000 AED fine plus deportation. Trust me guys, getting caught in Dubai with drugs isn't worth it. In case of selling (if you tell at the prosecution that you gave to your friend for 2£, that's selling, you don't need to have 100 sales to be considered a seller) your case moves to the capital city, you will spend anytime from 1 to 2 years to be sentenced during which you get to make one-5 minute call once a week. And for selling the mandatory sentence is 25 years. If you're lucky, you will get out in 9 to 12 years.
I repeat don't order to your address. You cannot feign innocence or say that your friends were playing a prank. For any suspicion of drug use, you will undergo a mandatory drug test (during which you will be put in a room with 20 others in the CID headquarters in Dubai) where you will be treated like shit, slapped, beaten for not answering promptly.

Good Lucyfur77 but I don't think that it's a competition on who has done the most time, just experiences no?
So by reiterating it you mean what?
That you are the Champ Champ of the Dubai prison scene lol
There are so many highly strung people on here that love to cock measure hahaha.

Not at all, all I'm saying is I extensively used the dark net while in Dubai during a time when it was unheard of and also the CIDs there weren't even sure what the substance was when they saw the concentrates, things have changed now. Everybody is tech savvy and know what's what. There maybe high strung people or well endowed bros, but I know Dubai like the back of my hand. I was 31 when I got caught, now 36 and counting.
Just don't. There is no love for Westerners or our drugs in the Emirates. Put your freedom before your smoke.
So many questions arise in my mind from this post..... such as do you like the idea of many years in a middle eastern prison, or have you done any research on the country you are about to visit? All in all a very bad idea. I mean a teacher got put in prison for naming a teddy bear after the prophet Mohammed. They are tolerant of alcohol because they have to be to accommodate a western tourism, but drugs is a go to jail, do not pass go and the FCO won't help you. I've done some smuggling but never to middle east or asian countries. They don't take kindly to it!
DON'T MATE ! I lived there for 31 years (born and raised), got caught with some 2 grams of concentrates, spend 3 months and was deported. I'm one of the lucky ones, I know many who did 5 to 10 years based on their testimony at prosecution. I know a few british guys who are doing 25 years for selling cannabis.
Definitely not worth it, I remember when some radio host had like a crumb of weed on the bottom on his shoe and he got sent to jail, lol.
That's messed up.
I wouldn't want to try what you're asking tbh.
That's messed up.
I wouldn't want to try what you're asking tbh.
I went there and on a family holiday when I was 17 and if they tested my blood, they would have been charging me with at least 5 drugs offences, phew!
It’s not worth it bro. I am sure chances of being caught are minimal, but trust, just think the impact it would have if you actually got caught (legal costs, family, possibly even from your employer). I recently took an unopened bag of edibles to Spain without an issue, but the stupidity of my actions hit me, ironically, when sitting on my balcony high!
Shhesh. You're brave. I worked there for 3 years. The only thing I dare do out there was a local smoke but it wasn't cannabis. While I was out there an American was arrested a jailed for smoking a joint BEFORE getting on the plane to fly to Dubai. Cannabis in his blood was enough to arrest his for possession.
That would be a crazy idea imo. that part of the world has very strict laws.
If you really really must id check on their law for vaping and have some carts sent
Even then i wouldnt, you can get jailed just for kissing your partner in public lol

Wow I would be really careful. I wouldn’t smoke in the street. I guess it’s best to take edibles.
Fredo (rapper) just got 5 years in jail over there for a lil bit of bud, I'd highly avoid the risk brev
Hi. I have lived on and off in the middle east for the last fifteen years - although I used almost every day I was there, I don't recommend it due to the harshness with which drug users are treated generally. I say generally, because I do know an individual who was caught at Abu Dhabi with half a key of coke and after one month in the holding cells and then local prison (with no charges) he was released and 'told' to leave the country immediately (I.e. not deported). With regards to having it sent to your condo - think again because ALL incoming mail to UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi etc. is scanned!

Yesterday, I encountered a challenge when cashing out £3000 to a recipient. The fee associated with this transaction amounted to £350. This fee was a result of the accumulation of various payments, and as a vendor, it's becoming increasingly challenging to manage these costs, especially considering the site fees. Balancing the need to absorb these fees while also keeping costs down for customers is proving to be quite a complex task. GAW

I've reached out to all borgs, urging them to bring the issue to the attention of the administrators. If each of us sends a message, it could potentially strengthen our case and demonstrate to the administrators that significant changes are necessary for the survival of both vendors and the community. The increasing difficulty posed by fees from both the customer and vendor perspectives needs to be addressed, and collaborative efforts in highlighting these concerns may contribute to a more sustainable solution.

This is a great question for a canna user.
I found myself in my last job working solely to smoke which is kinda sad and which probably gave me the courage to quit that job.
When you smoke you're gonna suffer stress, and as a canna user without your fav hobby you're likely to get 'bored' (not a word i'm a fan of as we're here on this earth such a short time).
Users that don't get stressed often cause they always have enough are likely to suffer it in other ways like a vendor always watching their back or biggas with a £200 - £400 weekly habit are likely to feel it in their bank balance.
I'd prefer stress to answer the question tho, and it's not gonna be till this country changes it's views dramatically in regards to canna use that this stress will likely subside.
I'm finally gonna make a purchase beginning of week after a big break and am excited for that, a little nervous too i guess.👊❤️

I'm glad I'm on the bottom end of the weekly habit list. Makes me feel slightly less stressed!
in my experience boredom typically leads to stress anyway. and being queer is stressful enough despite what other people on this thread seem to think
i was married (to a bird) for years, but after she died i ended up with a boyfriend. having seen both sides, i can confirm that being queer can indeed be quite stressful. it is mostly bigotry that's the cause, but honestly just having two guys in a relationship together is quite a lot of it. i never once felt like punching my wife, but this cunt... ;) p.s. just read all the comments there is some homophobia on here isn't there? stoners all feeling bad about wanking over tranny porn?
Having to wait 3+ years for healthcare whilst the ignorant and the bigoted shit the bed daily over your very existence. I see you friend. Hope you're doing ok <3
thank you friend. gets hard some days but knowing there's people in my corner always helps. you're good people
My job, at times, can be incredibly stressful to the point that I and others have often been close to tears due to the pressure, but it's not possible to stop. Newer people sometimes complain that they have nothing to do at times as they're yet to realise that that's the perk for the times that things are relentless and you spend hours desperate to pee.
So I'll go with bored, as it's probably less likely to take years off my life. Plus, as people have said, you can (almost) always find something to do if you really look.
So I'll go with bored, as it's probably less likely to take years off my life. Plus, as people have said, you can (almost) always find something to do if you really look.
h, the age-old question: Would you rather be stressed or bored? Let's take a humorous approach and explore the amusing side of these two less-than-desirable options.
In the red corner, we have Stress! Stress, the eternal companion that keeps you on your toes and your heart racing like a caffeinated squirrel. It's the feeling of having a thousand tabs open in your mind, all marked as "URGENT." With stress, you get to experience the thrill of constantly juggling deadlines, responsibilities, and expectations. It's like participating in a chaotic dance where your feet keep tripping over your own to-do list. Oh, the adrenaline rush of stress, keeping you awake at night and making your hair stand on end! Who needs sleep, right?
And in the blue corner, we have Boredom! Boredom, the mischievous villain that slowly sucks the life out of every moment, leaving you questioning your existence like a philosophical sloth. With boredom, time stretches out like a never-ending road trip with no entertaining sights or decent snacks. You find yourself staring at the wall, counting the specks of dust, and contemplating the meaning of life while contemplating whether to order takeout for the fourth time this week. Oh, the excitement of boredom, where even the most mundane activities become a welcome distraction from the abyss of nothingness!
Now, let's consider the pros and cons. Stress may provide you with a surge of motivation and urgency, but it also brings sleepless nights, frazzled nerves, and the tendency to resemble a human tornado. Boredom, on the other hand, may seem like a peaceful respite at first, but it can quickly turn your brain into a sluggish blob yearning for stimulation, leaving you contemplating outrageous activities like rearranging your sock drawer by color, size, and fabric composition.
So, which one is the lesser evil? Well, my friend, that's entirely up to you! Both stress and boredom have their unique quirks and challenges. Ultimately, finding a balance between excitement and relaxation is the key. So, when life presents you with the choice of stress or boredom, remember to take a deep breath, find some humor in the situation, and perhaps indulge in a silly dance or a random bout of karaoke to keep your spirits high. After all, laughter is the best stress reliever and boredom buster!

Aubrey De Grey: Can We And Should We Give Ourselves Indefinite Youth? Oh Yes
"Most biomedical gerontologists now agree that we are approaching a time of sharply accelerated progress in extending healthy lifespan."
Because not everyone will have the money for it. The rich will use it and put a price on it to make it unavailable for us normal people. The rich will the feel superior after a drug like that and we all remember what happened in the world of star trek. The eugenics war is something that will unfortunately happen on this planet one day because of them sort of drugs. I must point out I'm not against this sort of thing as science is not good or evil it's how it's used but this sort of thing is are downfall.
Surely this is an issue but most innovations are available to the rich first. What would you think of a world without cars, air travel or computers? Let the rich be our guinea pigs.
That said yeah, downfall for sure.

Best AI Strategy to Kill All Humans?
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.
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.

That's music to my ears because the last 30 days have been a joke regarding BTC network fees and there seems to be no sign of a let up
What are you using to be able to select the timing? Anyone that has the option should just be using the flexible option and not worrying about it... Not everyone has the option
Not currently mate. It's pay the maximum or it won't get through at the moment. It was over 300 sat/vB for entry to the block just before confirmation yesterday (19/11), and if you weren't paying the maximum then that 1 hour quickly turns into 24 hours or more as people pay higher and higher fees, and the 24 hour one never gets confirmed.
I got quite lucky. Tbh I find fees change really randomly. $70 could be $20 fee and $71.50 is a $5. Worth a play anyway.
It's risky, I've seen multiple cases when the 0 fee flexible payment still hasn't cleared after 8 weeks.. you probably might start worrying then! Besides vendors have cut off times etc & with my THC appetite I can just about wait 24hrs for NDD as it is 😂
I have access to SafePal & Bitvavo (registered outside UK). Otherwise I use Coinbase with my regular uk bank.

elevators are the way to go - to space
i think they would be like any geo stationary satellite just with a long rope :)
elevators are the way to go - to space
leave the exploding phallus at home boys there is a better way
Check out this inflatable version!

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.
but it makes it into orbit, that's where all the revenue is. seems once you get it going its like the difference between a railroad and a stage coach.
Wasn't that lift idea in that movie ? errr what's it called... the one where two guys put on special glasses and can see the real world underneath the one we see. ? my memory after a dooby ....tut tut ...it's gone gone ...:)

mighty vape temp setting?

mighty vape temp setting?
curious what my brothers and sisters are setting this at.
I use 185 , 195 then 210.
Like Polly said, max heat for hash, and I also add a terp perl to the dosing capsule for hash/concentrates
Like Polly said, max heat for hash, and I also add a terp perl to the dosing capsule for hash/concentrates
For weed I start at 185, dialling up by 5 for each subsequent hit. I get plenty of flavour and cloud doing it this way. For hash I crank it up to max…👍
straight to 210 if its late and i want to sleep otherwise start at 180 and work my way up to 195
185 for weed.
It does relinquish a little more vapor if you take it higher but it soon becomes rather coarse on my throat .

Thanks buddy. I played around with temp when I first got but I ended up just straight blasting at 210, thankfully I don’t experience many throat problems. You reckon it’s more efficient going through the gears as I smoke like some have suggested? i.e. start at 185, 190, 195 and so on?
If you can survive sucking at 210 then I would suggest there is no point going through the gears
You get totally different effects at low temps . If you start really low it can be great for getting a head buzz without longing you out
I’m with you mate; some weeds are great ar 155 upwards for me.
Totally unique flavours and effects
Totally unique flavours and effects
I had a crafty + and due to inhaling the vapour direct to your lungs I couldn’t really cope with more than 185 without coughing. 195 for boost after the majority of vapour has gone. With my Arizer xq2 I can comfortably go much high but don’t really like more than 215.
I believe it’s the thc that makes you cough, rather than the temperature. There is more thc at higher temperatures. Vaping green at 210 is almost like smoking it through a pipe
I have an Arizer EQ as I do like balloons but I don’t believe the temperature readout. I have to crank it up to the sort of temps that would blow my noodle off on other devices. Still does the job though🤷♂️
Hi! I’m super anxious about using my mighty for hash. I know there’s the drip pad but I’m so worried about fucking it up. What’s your technique please? Has there ever been any issues? Thanks 👍
If you're concerned, you can put some hemp fibre in the bottom of your chamber to catch any run off. Hemp fibre in the chamber, dosage capsule ontop with 2 terp perl and hash inside 👌
I started off this way using the hemp fibre with hash, but i've since found it not to be necessary once I got familiar with dosage etc. But it does give you a piece of mind 👍

Yeah, like Anon I just use a little bit of cotton bacon either in the bottom of the oven direct or if it’s a really melty hash then in a dosing capsule (no drip pad, only use those for concentrates) with a light covering of the cotton.
No problems, although I generally use a Vapman for hash these days as the extraction is superb 🤩😶🌫️

That’s strange. Maybe it’s because the whole unit it bigger and the bud isnt as close to the heating element?
Yup, I don’t think the Mighty needs to get any hotter..it produces its results at lower temps than some other units👍
To be honest it really depends on my mood and the weed in question. Sometimes I just go to 200 right away then 210 to finish it off, this is usually when I want to get as high as fast as possible.
My preference given time is to start at 185. (175 if it’s a particularly terpy strain). And go up in 10 degrees increments every 5/10 puffs upto max temp usually, or 200 again mood dependent 🤷♂️

what are borgs?
the "people" in little biggy are both registered users and "borgs" - hybrids of anonymized users and code. borgs execute directives established by little biggy users - that's how little biggy evolves.
within their individual domains borgs can write and delete lb data and code. borgs can perform some functions automatically, all other actions are subject to consesus.
borgs operate with narrow missions. some are public facing and help users directly though most borgs do not have direct contact with users.

marx said people controlling the system of workers inevitably exploit the situation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Just a reminder that the China "credit score" myth was a false story pushed by American war hawks and imperialists in the state department -
https://foreignpolicy.com/2018/11/16/chinas-orwellian-social-credit-score-isnt-real/
Nor have they weaponised it anymore than say Europe has when it comes to taking out a bank loan or buying property.

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

Going by the UK, if they've tried it, it means they're open to it. And again, vis a vis Europe is not the yard stick an actual revolutionary program would be using. Maoism in 2023 is mental (except about landlords).

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

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

How Would You Save the Roman Empire?
It wasn't morality they needed for that, it was capitalism
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.....

Controversial topic... does the younger generation know about getting beaten as a kid for punishment🤣🤣🤣
Ive had this conversation with many people and its always a subject that has the potential to raise concerns but its normal for anyone above the age of 25ish or ethnic backgrounds.
Personally ... everyone i spoke to think that the reason the world and the new generation is so soft.. is simply the fact that parents dont hit their children anymore as discipline and its a general thought among mid 40s generation.
Its crazy because it used to be a common thing to smack your kid for misbehaving or even smacking the kid of your friend to teach them a lesson.
And this was like this for probably thousands of years for all we know 🤣🤯 But these days you could get locked up quickly for that.
Do you think getting hit as a kid did good for you or bad for you? ( physical abuse is different, we are talking about disciplining) and do you think less beatings are creating weak children or the opposite?
Its mad, this topic always comes up some way or another... either in gym or even walking down the road and seeing an old timer.

Personally I was hit as a child and it didn’t do me any good long term, the issue is it’s the fear of it that works more than the actual act imo, the issue is sometimes words arn’t heeded to so a smack on the bum or legs is the next step to make the point, I have never and would never hit my child in any way, I’d rather use psychological tools, like time outs and taking luxuries away but in the past kids didn’t have as much their lives now depend on like phones and consoles etc so that deterrent wasn’t around. The issue is I actually do believe in smacking IF it’s done right, in a calm and controlled manner, the issue is it’s usually not, it’s in a time of despair and anger and then discipline suddenly becomes a beating and that’s simply never ever ok obviously.
lol does this topic really come up at the gym? like big hard men grunting in the mirror while complaining about how they can't beat up kids without getting in trouble? they sound like the weak ones to me! although tbh I'd bet they don't even have kids they just saw a meme lol (I don't have kids either mind so what would I know)
😂😂🤣 can’t get this image out my head now thanks for lightning the mood. Honestly think it’s silly this is still in question. Violence breeds violence I was an angry teenager not by my nature but nurture sorted myself out a long time ago and am the person I always was deep down just saying not judging anyone
Why’s it always about generation? Kids still get beat you no it still does no good I’d argue the fact you think this is ok doesn’t make it ok and definitley not everyone who’s experienced it would agree with you mate no disrespect but your parents obviously smacked up you which was fine normal back then but I strongly believe kids deserve respect and a good example set scaring them into doing something is them fearing you not the same thing as respect
Ye of course would be a boring world without different opinions hope you have a good rest of your day
Terrible take IMO
Hitting your child only demonstrates that you have lost your own self control
Edit: - unless you deliver the blows in a calm and considered fashion but then you’re displaying some other iffy characteristics

Hello, I am in my mid 20's.
With where I live and everyone I went to school with, I have never received, seen, or know of a beating or "physical punishment" my entire life. When it came to discipline in our house, it was either being grounded, toys being taken away, time out, stay outstide in the garden. This was very effective for me as I lose something that occupies my time and gives me joy. For my sister it was a lot harder. Her behaviour seemed to remain the same of being a terror spoilt child and it wasn't stopping, my mum was threatening her with military school and that seemed to change her. My sister had a habit of making every punishment a treat. Sell her toys? Good, she likes the space. Send her to the garden for not eating food? Good, she will play in the garden. Every punishment didn't work. But when threatened to join a military school, that was something that couldn't lead to a fun alternative.
My mum got smacked on the backside if she fooled around, stole, or didn't do chores. I even asked my mum about this and she thinks that giving your child a smack is what you do to a child that is spoilt, never gets punished or never takes punishment seriously, and is bullying kids at school.
My dad on the other hand, his father can die underneath a jail cell. His step father is more of a father and man than that guy will ever be and I have never nor wanted to meet him. Only the oldest brother in my dads family was the only one who remained in contact. The rest of the family wanted nothing to do with him and reject him. My father hated him so much that he left the home at 16, denounced him as a father and didn't talk to or see him since.
Personally. If my dad or mum resorted to hitting me to correct my behaviour, then I wouldn't want to see them again and if I did i'd end up getting violent. But that's simply because I was a good kid in a sense? Like I said for my previous writing, taking something away from me was enough punishment enough and I really didn't know why. Only to find out in my adult hood that I have ADHD and mild autism, so taking away my computer was literally leaving me like a brainless zombie waiting for the days to end and I didn't want that to happen anymore so my behaviour corrected really easily after punishment.
I currently have the most loving best family in the world, they are everything to me, they come first, they were always there and believed in what I do and my life. There is no bad blood or trauma and I think that my parents parenting was the best way to do it for me.
In terms of being "soft". I don't really know what that means. If we are talking about never fighting back or letting people use you. Then i'm gonna be honest, I learnt more about bullies and how to handle them from prison movies like Mean Machine. First year in my school if someone tried to step up to me for what ever reason, i'd gladly start fighting. And then I won't get in any fights for the rest of my time in school. Its okay to lose a fight or what ever, its just about showing the bully and everyone else that you WILL fight back if fucked with, you ain't gonna be an easy target. My last fight was on the first year of high school at age 11, haven't been in a fight since.
Personally don't want kids, I think I would be too frustated and would result to quick methods to make them sleep, behave, eat food, anything. I'm even struggling to make sure my life is in order and everything is okay, adding a child for mandatory looking after for at least 18 years is not something I wanna sign up for.
I can't really give a one sided answer on if disciplining your kids is a yes or no solution. Imma just say its complicated and requires a lot of factors for each family as to why they do or don't do it and how it effected the child.

Ofcourse each individual is different and obviously parents will learn ways to discipline children through processes of trial and error, i have no negative opinions on parents that choose to discipline their children in the ways that suit them.
Everyone grows up different but with this topic its more generalised to the ages and how its seen as bad now more than before

I don’t think it’s about ‘beatings’, I think it’s about boundaries. Parents are just not setting them. This doesn’t necessarily mean they grow up as feral chimps (although some do), but they grow up confused and always trying to see how much further they can push things.
Modern parents want to be their kids ‘mates’ and I don’t think that works. But before we solve that we have to understand why kids are starting school not even toilet trained and eating baked beans with their fingers.
In an ideal world no one of any age would ever lay a hand on another in anger or reproach. I guess we should try and live up to that ideal.
I never got a hiding from my mother that I didn’t deserve, but another relative was violent in a way that still troubles me if I think about it today🤷♂️

Being your kids mates is hard, its something that comes naturally but also i feel like the natural order of respect must be adhered to.. i think children must ... out of respect have fear of their parents.
But not fear like in the way of afraid of the punishment... more in the way of fearing the disappointment you get from them

No, it's 100% unacceptable.
Using violence as a method of discipline gives children huge trauma, attachment and mental health issues, this has been well documented for years.
My mothers controlled beating of me gave me an insecure/avoidant attachment style meaning I struggle to build friendships as I don't have a secure connection to my mother.
Using violence to resolve problems with another human who is not threatening you is unacceptable always.
Don't beat you kids then ask why they turn out soft and afraid of everything, ask yourself why you want to hit people instead of talk to them.
Stop child abuse now.

The way its portrayed today - violence against children - of course it makes sense to oppose violence.
But what you are talking about is discipline, which is different to violence. Today it seems that there is no distinction and the concept of discipline has long been lost...

I think we’re in a shaky middle ground where we may of gone to far the other way but I don’t think kids today are to soft there’s nothing wrong with wanting a better less aggressive humanity..maybe lack some boundaries but you can set those without hitting kids.. i think it’s good we’ve moved away from it.. if you hit a kid as punishment what are you really teaching them?
This lack of distinction between discipline and outright violence is the reason people fear for childrens safety. But people have also lost trust in the parenting abilities which makes everyone think its only violence.
Its hard to explain but you have to have lived it , in order to know what the distinction is.

I’ve lived it.. I definitley didn’t appreciate it but maybe some parents can’t draw that line which is why they banned it. You can teach kids respect, manners all those things without physical punishment it only taught you that it is ok
Any human hitting another human a quarter of their size, is objectively a bully.
I choose not to bully my kids and their behaviour is fine
I choose not to bully my kids and their behaviour is fine
I don't think it can be defined as good or bad.
I'm early 20's and got beatings as a kid - uncommon for my age. but mostly they instilled fear rather then lessons.
I never recieved a beating and was like "oh so this is what i did wrong, this is why its wrong and why i shouldn't do that again" instead it was a "oh hes fucking terrifying". Which works for so long, until you get sick of being scared. That fear becomes resentment or becomes the base for mental health issues.
Parent/child relationships are so dynamic and different across the world. I don't think their is a correct answer to this question, It's based in culture and environment.
What works for some kids might not work for all.

All 6 of us were beaten even before we could speak. I was told I was a failure and I believed it, it did affect me in many many ways.. spank your kids if you must but never face slap a kid and always explain why you are doing it.
I don't have children, which is possibly a good thing, because there's been many an occasion when I've wanted to drop-kick other people's unruly brats across the room. That said, I think physically punishing children is a failure in parenting. I have a friend who never forgave his father for physically punishing him for 'stealing' a toy when he was a nipper. He was too young to understand the concept of theft, and the punishment was the result of a strict grandparent pressuring the parent to act severely. If I did have kids I like to think I'd be disciplined enough to explain their errors without having to resort to physical punishment. No child should have to live in fear of pain. Children learn their values from the adults around them, so a good example should always be top of any grown-up's list.
It's not a funny thing.
How are you going to teach your kid not to hit people when you do?
We know that negative reinforcement doesn't work as a training technique. It just encourages fear and eventually violence.
My mum learned this last time she tried to hit me and I caught her hand.
Also, individuals aren't best placed to decide whether what happened to them was for the best or not.
Let's stop this uncivilised shit.

Let's stop this uncivilised shit.
the last time, i was much bigger and stronger than my mum, she was losing the argument and insead of conceding, she struck me, i struck her back with the force of all the years of abuse, a slap, but a good strong one with meaning, she went gray, she was in shock, she drank her own kool aid that day, i just try to be calm and kind to her now even though its a struggle, its my mum, i feel like her shrink sometimes, telling her about the things in life she doesnt understand that stem from her own fears.
The easy part was the slipper hard part was the belt wrapped around the back of my legs & if the belt couldn't be found the hand came out
My Mon was clinically depressed back in the 80s and didn't receive much help at all she never would've did anything just called dad
Wasn't any discipline just slap room now Ur mom's not well
my auntie was scary lol

The problem is in this day and age you can't even tell a child off. Me & my missus just been through hell and back with social services because her 12 year old runs and tells her daddy that I'd told her off a few times when she'd really taken piss & according to social services shouting at kids is classed as abuse... what the actual fuck???
It’s called progress! Just like it used to be acceptable to hit kids it’s not anymore thanks god, it’s no longer ok to shout abusivley at them. You are allowed to tell them of pull the other one mate. My guess is you were out of line with the kids sorry!
Never been out of order with the kids. You don't know what an absolute cretin her ex husband is, he's always trying to cause shit. My Mrs would kick my arse if I was out of order
Different people probably have different ideas of out of order. But your Mrs is happy so I’m going to leave it alone. Bit of a sore subject for me maybe definitley a controversial thing for just weed to bring up. I don’t understand why it would be a conversation over weather beating kids is a good idea.. obviously not 😅
And her dad is laughing his balls off mate
Not out of line just by shouting would be different if you'd hit her then different a story . Keep it cool
Not out of line just by shouting would be different if you'd hit her then different a story . Keep it cool
Her dad needs putting down he used to beat the eldest 2 but treats the youngest like a golden child and barely acknowledges the older 2 now, not to mention all the mental abuse he put my missus through. He loves causing shit
Personally, I think hitting anything is not a form of discipline. It’s a ‘I don’t know how to discipline so I’ll be violent’ mindset to me. I would recommend looking up some behaviour studies for children that are/were smacked.
im autistc, i got beaten for thins i couldnt understand, that hurts, not only that my mum asked for parenting advice from some good christian hicks, she said her hand was hurting from all the smacking so they told her to use wooden spoons, my dad used to prostrate me and hit me with belts, it really messed with mt mind as a child as i couldnt show them or recive love from them, they acted concerned when they saw blood, i was being used as an emotional punchbag, worse was the psychological abuse and sense of worth
Any parent who has to resort to physical violence to discipline their children is already a failed parent. There are many people with children who have very limited intelligence and this is the main problem.

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

being honest with mental health
super unlikely mate
being honest with mental health
i was honest with mental health professionals about scoring weed over the internet insead of face to face, now i think they have flagged my address, is there any way to find out this with subject access or something?
I work for the government. With absolute certainty, nobody is flagging any addresses to anyone for cannabis consumption, unless you are smoking and your neighbors can smell it or if the postie gets a wiff. A cannabis consumer is so low down the food chain of importance that the authorities do not have the resources to deal with it, and its also not work their manpower in doing so.
my mental health team know about my cannabis use they can’t flag your address that’s illegal for them to do I believe
I work for NHS and there is no way they would have done that because they are not allowed to due to confidentiality. It will be in your medical record but should not be shared with anyone and if it is, you can bring a massive case against them. You are probably better just saying you smoke it but never say where you procure it from. Keeps everyone safe.
I've spent my fair share of time dealing with mental health professionals ( I have borderline personality disorder, GAD and aspergers ) and I'm almost certain they can't share these details with anyone without your consent.
https://www.rethink.org/advice-and-information/rights-restrictions/rights-and-restrictions/confidentiality/
I've talked a lot about smoking cannabis and how it helps me with intrusive thoughts and have had no issues.
Hope I've put your mind at rest :)
Edit put right link in!

Edit put right link in!
I have borderline personality disorder too. I tell my doctors about drugs but not that I get it delivered. But to be honest they dont care. It's more paperwork than it's worth. And you are only smoking and not dealing so you should be ok. Cannabis helps me to get rid of my thoughts. My care coordinator said I'm fine smoking if it helps me. There are so many different opinions from "professionals" you just have to do what's best for you. Try not to get too paranoid (easier said than done) in the nicest way possible you are a small fish to them. Police wouldn't waste their time either. Have a good smoke and let your thoughts float away.
Just to reiterate what a previous commentator stated: there is no way to “flag” another persons address etc for cannabis use.
I am a dentist myself so am very familiar with CQC and various safeguarding policies.
I have many people confiding in me regarding many illegal practices and am bound within my professional obligation to not disclose such information (unless the police specifically request information or I believe that person will do harm onto themselves or another).
I think you can rest easy my friend and your thoughts could be from your mental issues
I wish you good health

You can access your medical records, but I wouldn't bother. Save your £10 admin fee.
Your HCW will only be interested in your consumption in relation to assessing your mental health. Honestly, they're not going to be interested where you sourced your weed, unless they wanted to buy some for themselves, of course.
I have worked in NHS mental health services for nearly 40 years. I've just finished doing a 5 year stint in forensic services. You have nothing to worry about.

There is no way they would flag ure address, u think the police are gonna watch u because u told ure gp u smoke weed, they can’t report anything unless ure at harm to ureself or others.
Even if u told ure doctor ure tha biggest drug dealer in tha uk they can’t say shit!!!

Absolute wankers they don't understand how much it helps with mental health all they want to do is pump you full of pills been there it's not nice like mate
been there man, they pumped me full of schizo pills before they found out i was autistic, i have had a realy realy bad time with the mental health system.
Autistic and bipolar here, all my mental health guys have known about my weed use because I flat out refuse to take pills. Did have one GP try to send me to rehab when I was 21 but nothing like that since
I'm glad I checked in on this topic! I've never took a pill in my life and never will, same issues and last time I went to the docs they gave me a prescription for dissolvable tablets as if that would somehow be ok instead lmfao
Thankfully I think I can manage on my own. Weed is THE medicine. For me anyway :)
Thankfully I think I can manage on my own. Weed is THE medicine. For me anyway :)
It's honestly ridiculous how quickly some gp's jump to 'you must be a nefarious drug addict.' from someone saying 'my horrible unexpected mood swings seem to be much calmer when I smoke weed'
yeh its weird, they seized on the cannabis use thing and missed everything else, like the cannabis was causing my problems, when really i have problems and the cannabis is helping, im more stable and eat properly, i might not get things done very well or be organised but im stable.
The mental health system is a draconian mess. I was pumped full of Valium, then they realized I had ADHD. No idea how they thought filling someone with Valium was a wise idea. I even protested it but they insisted it would be great.. It wasn't.

I’m so sorry to hear of your experience. I hope you are receiving the support you need.
Take care brother

Take care brother
the mental thing is that cannabis makes me better and when i dont have it i have bad turns.
so many storys sound like my own and im still going through the crap with the docs. :( Least i found this place..
I have been 100% honest with medical professionals for a long time. They are bound by confidentiality and are there to help you not get you busted. You have nothing to worry about my friend I promise. Mental health issues can intensify your worries ten fold, I'm speaking from a lot of very recent personal experience. You would have be selling large amounts cannabis on a regular basis to be of any interest/value to the authorities. Honesty will help you feel better and help you heal faster and you have some people who have your back and are not there to work against you. Buying and smoking small amounts of cannabis is a relatively risk free business these days.
I have PTSD. My doctors and psychologists all know I drink and smoke weed to help cope with it. No one has reported me or are monitoring me or anything. They’re only interested in helping you get better and helping you to cope with life. No one is going to report you or monitor you at all. The only time any health professional will ever refer you is if they think you will hurt yourself or someone else.
There isnt a way to "flag" your address with royal mail mate, the postie might be on to it if it is regular small packets with no return address. Or if he smells it on delivery, and is a knob. Stick with NDD if you can as those deliveries are guaranteed and trackable to the door. I dont believe MH professionals would try to intervene in such a way. Green is the least of their worries, so much really bad stuff going on! Class A's etc even benzos very dangerous.

Best sport stoned?

Deffo 💯 used to fish as a nipper and finally got round to getting back into it a couple of years back. Even had a guy who dropped off at me local spot 🤣🐟🎣
Fishing tops it for me, pool and darts too,nothing too energy intensive but swimming is always good
Archery is fun. I once bought from a guy who had a bunch of targets set up in his garden and would let me shoot a few arrows when I picked up.
I hit the gym stoned, take saunas stoned, go mountain hiking stoned, go cycling stoned, but there is zero competitive nature... As I'm lazy!
snowboarding gets the gold. well until they take it back
Roller Skating with some good tunes in your ears.
Juggling is great once you have some flow.

I love having a smoke and going mountain biking , turning my phone off for a few hours and just going out and getting lost in the forest
You hit the nail on the head, when the suns out like today, jump on the bike and hit the forest, big joint and then ride. Bliss!
Yep exactly what I like to do too, I named a bench near the start of my local trails 'spliff bench'.
I had planned to do exactly that today, but got covid for Easter instead.

To watch or participate? If its just to watch I can watch any old shite stoned. Found myself watching lawn bowls once, but you can't beat topless volleyball. To participate being stoned, well, gotta be driving, personally I drive much better after a smoke and have more patience with others. The fact I have no licence for a year is a testimony to that, dunno why the courts don't share my opinion, cunts

Easily the best documentary mini series I've seen in years. And I watch a lot of them. Fascinating if you're interested in the cannabis business, and murder....and weird isolated communities, and loads more.
Just incredible. Seen it 3 times and might watch it again.
Tiger King on Netflix is also pretty good although didn't need to be as long as it was. Seemed to be dragged out over too many episodes.

If you are at all interested in hip hop, check out the BBC Four series "Hip Hop - The Songs That Shook America". I only saw one episode so far, but there are some amazing interviews, old footage and stories.

I must admit, I am a die hard carnivore. But that doc did make me think about eating less meat too. Check Joe Rogan podcast too with the doc maker. Very interesting.
The same here- ended up eating less meat just because I started eating more veg :) Not a black/white path though as there are A LOT of poor quality "vegan"-labelled products with tonnes of salt and things that are much worse than meat.
Was just about to say, totally agree - Vegan doesnt mean healthy. We got wrapped up in Beyond meat etc etc but you check the ingredients and most contain methylcellulose and other synthetic products that we are not totally clear on how they effect your body - stick to vegetables, fruits and if anything you buy has less that 5 ingredients in it, you are on to a winner 🙏🏽

Vitalik On Network States
The founder of Ethereum weighs in on the idea that networks hold the potential for government.
Do you view this as a positive or a negative? Personally for me, any sort of governance that is not my own really rankles. It's a hard one though. Many many MANY people have been convinced that there's no way at all humans can govern themselves, all the while forgetting that those that supposedly govern them are also humans (though that is entirely debatable in some circles, my own included, lol)
Edit: I'd written "his man's" instead of humans, and being a female that rankled me too. Lmfao. Just kidding. But still, correct text is better than not.

you might have been right with "man's". the essence of government is a monopoly on violence and men have the market share here.

oil + flower in the vape?
yes but you can clean it with peanut butter just heat that up and you have a real treat
oil + flower in the vape?
got some full spectrum oil and flower. in my pipe id just top it off w/o a care.
but can I put it in my mighty vape without fucking up this expensive machine?
but can I put it in my mighty vape without fucking up this expensive machine?
The mighty certainly has the voltage to vape concentrates. I would usually suggest using degummed hemp fibre to absorb the oil Having not really looked at it, I'm not sure of the chamber makeup, but a quick search shows that you can get specially made liquid drip pads for the mighty that are manufactured to fit the chamber but not the dosing capsules. That will be your best bet.
Use some.bacon cotton or the mighty concentrate pillows. They are just like bacon cotton made of metal so can be reused.
Personally I wasn't a fan of using concentrates in my mighty, your better off spending £28 and buying an AIO which is made specifically for the job and does it very well.

What is the difference between Sativa and Indica?
Speak for your own hemisphere mate
Latitude and attitude :)
Indica grows further North
Gives relaxing and laugh inducing effects.
Sativa grows closer to the equator
Effects are uplifting and cerebral.

As everyone else said in terms of the physical differences of the plans and the effects.
I can’t take sativa anymore. I use. to when I was younger. Just a small amount of sativa sends my brain on a awful spiral as my mind runs fast anyway. Shame as I used to love Thai weed.
I just smoke Indica now. Relaxes mind and body without the circular thoughts / paranoia.
Seems that anything from the Afghan/Indian areas is perfect. Smoking some Hindu Kush Weed and Afghan Black hash atm.

I read somewhere that a strain is considered to be indica when it has 5% or more of the terpene myrcene which causes the sedated couch lock effect.
How it grows
The distinction in effects can be altered when using a vape - indica at a low temp will give "sativa" effects and a sativa at a high temp will give "indica" effects

Sativa tends to grow tall and skinny with pointy leafs. Usually take longer to flower. Indica are shorter bushier, chunkier leafs/flowers faster flowering
asapcocky cool username lol
new addition to the asap crew?
also there is a notable difference in the way the plant grows
indica tends to grow short stocky and bushy with wider fan leaves
whereas sativa tends to grow tall and has thinner fan leaves
and as stated in the comments already, difference in types of high

Goodbye LB was nice knowing ya
So after over a year an 15k in spend ...
I bought the same strain of a vendor several
times. The last time it was foul, so chemical it was unsmokeable. Stunk like shit.
Vendor admitted other customers had issues.
Vendor promised reship multiple times.
Nada.
Raised a dispute.
Posted about it.
Post was deleted? I mean wtf that's not good.
And now I've lost the dispute too.
I don't see how ANY customer could win a dispute against the big boys if my rep isn't good enough at this point.
So, not liking being ripped off by both the vendor and lb and being really weirded out that my post was removed off I go.
Trust NO ONE.

Don't go. Stay and enjoy the real vendors like you have most your time here. We all know the legit ones now even I only been here half year not even . And I've learnt the true vendors and there is a lot of them. Little biggy is a world of choice and experience . Never know that vendor might send you a nice free smoke now after reading this or get that refund sorted for ya. Bless
absolutely there are great vendors. i just don't want to give any business to lb. i can deal with it x
People tout the word 'trust' around a lot. It's great until it's broken. From what I gather, Julie, you've always approached things very matter-of-factly, and I've viewed you as an old school type of Bigga. I'm sorry you've had a let down and it's dragged on. Resolution and closure isn't something we always get on here, agreed. I wish you the very best, and hope you'll come back.
thank - it's all about good business right!
even offered to send back in case dude was having supplier issues ... ah well

Had a similar issue myself with one of the bigger vendors too. Package was seized through no fault of mine. Asked for a reship as per their terms and they refused. Disputed and lost a load of money. That being said there are some really great vendors on here who will look after you in this kinda scenario. I wouldn't throw in the towel yet but can understand why you would.
it's the fact that lb promote the escrow then pull this crap. it just seems so many established do this and get away with it because their sales are always gonna be higher than the greediest buyer.
everyone got their money and i got shafted so 🤷🏼♀️

you can appeal a dispute ruling just go to auto settlement borg but i have a hard time believing you lost a dispute, settlement favours the buyer and if youve spent that much and not disputed much before what your describing doesnt add up.

I've got the same thing going on with the obvious scam grape ape from cannapharm over Xmas. There's pages of messages from people that were scammed. Absolutely noone got their order.
If LBs escrow doesn't seem to work I will sadly have to trudge back to the dark markets. Urgh.

Not that you should have to, but I'd contact refund borg and explain the situation. Hopefully the vendor can sort this out and save you any more time.
Personally Littlebiggy is still superior compared to the street where I am feeling ripping off 80% of the time even if it on weight.
…
it doesnt matter what the seller says and you cant "lose" a dispute, so yeah you are confused.
What do you mean by this Grits? I'd say getting awarded £0 is pretty much 'losing' a dispute, when you're the one left out of pocket.
By the sounds of it, this should have never gotten to the dispute stage in the first place.
By the sounds of it, this should have never gotten to the dispute stage in the first place.
doesn't matter, if this person brought the dispute to auto settlement borg there could not be a zero award, even a noob with a cupla orders would get more than this.
Looking at the screenshot above, they was awarded zero from the auto settlement Borg, so i'm not really sure what you mean mate
yeah look at it, even by the standards of screenshots its dodgey. so another piece that doesn't add up.

There's an audio version of the article at the top of the page too: worth a listen/read!
Excellent read….loved this:
“ Tribesmen of the Bashilange dubbed themselves the Sons of Cannabis, and soon passed laws to promote peace and friendship. They rejected cannibalism and were no longer permitted to carry weapons in the village. They stopped killing their rivals, and started having more sex. Marijuana was smoked regularly and at most important events, including religious ceremonies, holidays, and political alliances. Formerly known for being cold-blooded killers, the Sons of Cannabis became tranquil marijuana-growing peacemakers”.
…except that that their formerly fearful rivals then over ran them so they had to go back to being warriors and cannibals! 🤷♂️🥹…ah well, nice try!

Payment help please
My phoned died so could not use QRC for payment so I copied address below it, on the payment page, and sent via coinbase to that address. First time doing that way, money left my account and transaxe says its been received. The little biggy site went down at the same time. Seller is saying he has not received the payment which I sent yesterday. Not sure what has happened, if I have done something wrong or if it's due to the website out tage. Seller is just saying money has not dropped. Any help or advice would be brilliant
A little weird as the coin does not go to the seller, it is held by transaxe for up to 16 days as an escrow purpose. All the vendor gets is a confirmation of paid order from transaxe (which is auto cancelled if not marked Sent in 3 days).
If he is saying he has received no such order confirmation, send him and transaxe the order # and request a resolution.

Why no responses?? Package to greece
Hey all, I have ordered some stuff to be delivered to Europe's shithole. It was sent 11 calendar days ago. I sent to TGT to ask the progress of the delivery and no responses back. Actually they responded asking for details, then disappear. It just feels weird and I am kind creeping out that cops will knock my door (cops here are total pigs)
So my questions are, has anyone had a similar experience with TGT? I am not referring to within UK deliveries apparently. And what can I do next other than dispute, which I have already done?
Thanks in advance fellow stoners

TGT are LB gold so you don’t have to be concerned about the integrity of the vendor. Overseas deliveries come with extra risk which I guess they cover in their T&C’s.
Transaxe trumps vendor T&C’s so it will be up to LB to decide how to settle your dispute. In fairness to TGT there is not much they can do once you have filed your dispute- they too will wait for the outcome. You should hear back quite quickly.🤞
I used to live in Corfu. I ❤️ Greece!…although my varied experiences with the police were not good😖

Hiya and thanks pal. I totally understand the risks for overseas deliveries, especially post-brexit. The annoying thing is that TGT hasn't responded in regards to the delivery progress. May be wrong, but I think that they can track if it has been delivered or not. Since you had some troubles with the greek cops, you must be understanding my concerns 😔
Yeah, Greece is nice.. but weed is not as easily available as in lovely UK...
Cheers Pal, good chatting with you. Come and visit Greece again soon, we wait for you 😊

I’m sure if it’s tracked and TGT have that info they will share it in due course 🤞..I know it’s frustrating as hell when comms go down.
I was in Rhodes last month and I’m back in Corfu in September (I used to have a bar there, many many many moons ago😂😂)…
Yeah, I didn’t see much weed about but I wasn’t really looking as I took some great LB carts with me 👍😍

Well, Greeks are not so weed friendly and a bit conservative when it comes to weed. But thanks man, really appreciate it.
My concern is that there is a same street with the same number in a town close to mine, and that's what I want to know from TGT. Does it appeared delivered or not?
Thanks again for the reassurance man 💗💗

Nah, that was back in July. Now, best case scenario, the parcel has been destroyed, if not sent back to you. But it's really OK, I don't care for a refund/replacement as I get the risks involved
I've ordered many times from tgt to Greece and it has landed everytime but it takes up to 20 days ... Especially if you live outside Athens...
Thanks pal. Thing is I ordered from them and was held in customs, they said there was a medical reference on the parcel, so I had to personally go and pick it up. Which I didn't
Yes tgt marks them as supplements, better leave it with them ... Cops are paranoid in Greece . Tip : stick to the European vendors ,my go to guy is Nero 20 orders and everything landed safely.
Thanks man, ordered yesterday from them :-) looking forward to receiving them.
I also tried SuisseMs, not the greatest quality, but amazing when it came to communication and packaging.
How long did you wait for Nero's orders?

well done bigga whats TWBM?
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.

The High-Stakes Race to Engineer New Psychedelic Drugs
As psychedelic therapies for mental health go mainstream, companies are recruiting chemists to create patentable versions of hallucinogens. Critics say it’s all a bad trip.
Indeed you are right. These companies are betting on the legalization of psychedelics in medical use. For example, Compass Pathways has developed their own unique patented derivative of psilocybin. Most of these companies are losing money now, betting on legalization for use in psychedelic therapy and enormous profit potential.

Hi I'm new to LB, naturally I'm dubious as to who the legitimate vendors are. Anyone got any genuine recommendations?
As an update, I ordered from pistach about a week ago, 28g of shake, arrived today, due to postal strikes I wasn't expecting it this side of Xmas.
Legacy UK Dank if he has in stock.
Was impressed by Dr Greenthumb.
Urban Leaf Company is probs the best weed on here - I don't buy often because it is too strong for me.
Canadian Imports had an excellent service and product when I used.

laws are made to be challanged just ask borris. me neibour has complained twice so i bought a huge carbon filter and it still gets into his house ffs now im masking the smell with incence sticks. i a, sorry for him but i chain smoke all day every day so going outside to smoke just wont work so we at a stalmate cos i wint stop the one activity i do that benifits every cell in my body. this guy is 65 years old and just anti all illegal drugs lol. his idea how to get me to stop was to verbaly threaten me with a thump haha since that threat i now couldnt give a fuck if its getting inti his castle. clearly he has no concept of live n let live. must add that he can only smell it when the wind blows in his direction but i have news for him i dont contril the weather dood! Peace!
Is there a need for that? Both can co-exist without making the other the bad one.
Everyone should just do what they like.
The issue that i am more concerned with is that those who consume aren't treated the same. Even in many so called legal areas social acceptance is still far from what it is let's say towards tobacco, alcohol, video games or social media addictions.
But anyways, bless the non-stroners - more goodness for us.

working at home makes me a weed addict
cuase i can basically. work isn't effected at least not negatively but tolerance, weight and debt all headed up as well.
anyone else have this issue and how do you deal?
anyone else have this issue and how do you deal?
Pandemic sent me into a weed spiral not only could I do my job to the same standard but I actually got promoted to an advisory position so no work just giving advice on the phone. This made it worse but I found myself dropping two spliffs before work had started that soon became over 7g a day. That’s like college years and I became a little lazy work started to melt into home life being lit all day every day starts to become addictive but also routine. Every activity involved rolling one, like at college we drove nowhere without smoking a spliff in the car journeys were not measured in miles but how many pre rolled spliffs were required.
Now the only way out of this is to earn your spliffs unless I’ve been out clubbing probably not earned a 6am spliff (I’m to old to go clubbing anymore) so I had to set myself challenges as work wasn’t and despite having 4 kids and a part time wife home was boring.
I also got free Apple Music with new phone so went back to my 90s house and drum & base days and started walking. It’s kind of developed into a forest gump crossed with that terminator in T2 action but I found this a massive release from the stresses and an excuse not to get straight up and smoke. Soon enough smoking was back to after work. It’s mind over matter the exercise and music helped house music helps the mind body and soul before you know it you have done 5 miles and your back at the front door not knowing how you got there. After you have done things spliff is more rewarding and you need less. Don’t get me wrong weekends can sometimes contain a blowout when you blaze all day.

You could try CBD bud instead. I don't know if you like to smoke, vape, etc. but I find that smoking it helps stop me from reaching for my stash box during the day.
It's available on here but also via other UK sites and some stores, it's hemp flower rather than marijuana so it's all perfectly legit.
Looks like proper weed and actually tastes ok too, considering. It doesn't get you high or stoned as such but I definitely felt an effect from it, almost like my body was a bit stoned but my head was completely clear. It's a nice feeling and scratches the itch for a while at least.
There are CBD vape carts available too if you don't smoke, although I haven't tried those so can't comment on them.
I tried CBD oil for a while and didn't feel any benefit but the actual flower itself seems much more potent and I always have some CBD bud in my store now.
Might be worth a try if you haven't already. It's not that much cheaper so maybe not going to save you all that much but should help with the tolerance if nothing else. Good luck anyway!

I blaze from like 5am 😂 my addiction came long before wfh though and smoke to ease ptsd and other shit as much better in my experience than meds from docs.
I’d second Cbd weed, you’ll still Chong as much as normal but not be drooling in meetings 🤣

Yeah I'm in the same boat my man...I work from home and have done for 2 and a half years now. Like yourself I could do my job well enough with a lil joint or two during the day but it's become an issue and with all the energy issues on top...well i'm bleeding cash left, right and centre.
I don't have many solutions for you but maybe one that can help. So someone mentioned CBD flower...I would suggest Delta 8 or HHC...some people on the net have talked about being illegal and yada yada. It's not and in fact have bought a total of about 150g of Delta 8 and HHC hemp flower.
Due to it being hemp the legal status is changed somewhat. It's treated more like a commercial/industrial material than anything else.
I would recommend hempiregardens.com if you're looking for some legal smoke that might hit that spot during work...I refer to the effect as a pale shadow of a stone. You don't get monged but it does chill you out and tastes similar to weed...they also do vapes and CBD stuff.
It's helped keep me sane when I don't have weed or need to not smoke it. As for the other issues I'm still trying to find a solution myself but some habits are almost impossible to kick so good luck bud!

My mate swears by Delta 8 and HHC. That said, my advice would be to get a strain that's leans heavily towards sativa and go steady with it. Sour Diesel is a good choice for focus - assuming you don't go too hard.
if it feels like an impulsive thing try to substitute a different action to feed it.
eat something nutritious and not delicious the next time you wanna smoke when you're already kinda stoned. it will feed the impulse without making you binge on food.

I recently got made redundant, but before that had started using carts during the day... As I am job hunting and they really got me high, I've just had to take a break from them for a while. I have very little self control.
I don't work from home but I know where you're coming from. Try and apply a smidge of discipline, for example, no weed until 12pm, then a reward, no weed until 4pm, then a reward. That's how I tackle it.
I’ve been hit by it too! I started consciously thinking about what it’s doing to my lungs/body, money etc. if that doesn’t help then good luck in your search buddy!

Order from Drugs Inc UK not arrived. How do I raise a dispute / refund?
4th order. Checked out as guest. UK based. Says 3 days delveriy. Now Day 8. Still nothing. How do I raise a dispute, resend or refund. Never done this before.
"a buyer can start a dispute 9-21 days after an order is marked sent" just press dispute on your order page.
Same here - I am an EU buyer and made my order on the 16th of September. Messaging back and forth constantly - they say they shipped thrice already and keep asking for my address which I do provide and nothing. Sitting here with no product and minus BTC.
Unprofessional beyond belief.
edit: I would also like to know how to resolve a dispute such as this please

My order (London Pound Cake) was also not received posted 25 Oct from Drugs UK. I sent a few messages and got no reply to order not received so around 12 days I opened a dispute. al Drugs UK said this is not the way to do it, just message us to resolve as it looks bad on us. If its not received in a few days..... we will resend it.
I seen they had a long history so closed the dispute and waited a few more days. A few days of sending not received they said they would resend... half the order.

Cannabis reactivates LSD trip

Cannabis reactivates LSD trip
Is this a thing? It's been a week since I tripped and it's like I can't get properly high, just tired.or trippy.
I've never tried the acid, but a mate of mine said weed was extremely trippy afterwards too. HPPD (halucinatory persisting perception disorder) is known to be more likely in the days and weeks after ingestion.
It's especially more likely if you are tired of stressed.
Perhaps it is a mild touch of that and may resolve after tome and more sleep?

My experience is both weed and acid is a self-reflective medicine therefore when taken together it might be like double dropping therefore exaggerating the effects. For instance if you feel slightly paranoid on acid weed will double that. Its also two conflicting energies so the A would want you to walk and be out and about whilst the W would want you relaxed. Its not necessarily a bad thing, its just about awareness :) We prefer waiting until the last hours of the trip to add W to the mix that way you can experience both for what they are made for :)

Sold out?
Why are vendors not just taking down products that aren’t in stock any more and just leaving it up with a sold out message on it? Not sure about anyone else but I’m bound to order one at some point when I’m not firing on all cylinders late at night and then have to piss about after the fact.
Is this an issue with LB?

After many months of having a listing do well AFTER all the trolls and other vendors sabotaging the product by buying an 1/8, it is prob a massive gamble listing something new even if it is excellent. The sabotaging needs to stop first then vendors wouldn’t need to do it. There is a case of a less quality product under that listing but I just tend to use the most recent reviews on it (which could also be fake) lesson here everyone just needs to get along and be honest as it’s a vicious circle.
I’m sure they do this so they can keep the positive reviews instead of starting from scratch.

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

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

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

What is the best video game plot you have experienced?
have you tried cyberpunk 2077 since the fixes? it surely belongs on this list
What is the best video game plot you have experienced?
For me personally its between Bioshock infinte and the last of us.

Shenmue on the Sega Dreamcast, written directed and produced by Japanese genius Yu Suzuki. Beautiful and way ahead of it's time.
A teenth of Afghan black, Ericsson T18 on silent, while i roamed the streets of Japan. Those were the days!

Have you played the new Shenmue? Shenmue 3 I think? I played a load of the original on Dreamcast back in the day and bought the remastered version for PS4 that had 1&2 on it (wasn't as good as I remembered) intresting to know if 3 is any good.
Old School- I used to love the original Silent Hill on Playstation, thought that was a really clever game. Also MYST.
Silent hill for sure, was Syked for new one coming out with Kojima onboard but alas, it wasn’t to be
Loads of rumors about a reboot for the series but I'm not sure I even want it if Yamaoka isn't onboard. Kojima's take would've been interesting, though. Shame we never got more than a demo.
I assume this is an old post but if you haven’t already check out The Callisto Protocol!!! From the creators of dead space, looks like top tier sci fi horror and is set for release at the end of 2022 (although will probably be delayed until next year, you know how these things go lol)
Bloody loved Silent Hill. Creepy AF. Used the machine's limitations really well by clouding the streets with an eerie fog. I still recall hearing the footsteps of those fucked-up things but not be able to see them. Remember the cut-away sequence when the nurse staggered towards you?
100% the witcher. Managed to get every gwent card aswell even when you could very easily miss a few card through wrong decisions.
Wow! I totally forgot about LSL. I bloody loved all the Sierra adventure games when I was but a young lad.
For me Heavy Rain really stands out, also Shenmue 2 and LA Noir, all so far ahead of their time.
Yeah, it's amazing. So atmospheric. Only problem was, it was supposed to be a two or three part dlc but the creator gave up on it after the first one so it never got finished. As far as I know he gave up on making video games after that. If you can get hold of the first part tho, I'd highly recommend it
There are so many...
Witcher 3 has to be up there with the best along with all 3 bioshock games. Halo 1-3 & the latest god of war. Here hoping cyberpunk 2077 can join them too!

Metal Gear Solid on the PSone blew my mind, the other MGS got a bit preachy but the PSone version had everything, great game play, great stelf sections, good action sequences etc etc I still think about the bit where Psycho Mantis moves your controller, freaked me out.
GTA 4, more recently Red Dead Redemption 2 and The Last of us was also pretty epic, I’m looking forward to part 2.
Bioshock 1 was drippingly beautiful and draws you in. Dark room, good thumping surround sound cranked up, roll a few fattys. Great replay capability with the good or bad decisions and the array of different weapons and potions. One of the finest pieces of electronic entertainment to this day, including films.
Noteables: Deus ex, last of us, elder scrolls,Halo 1.
Its when you play them as well i think. There are more advanced games now, better ai, graphics etc, but such a wow factor for me at the time when i was a fanatic.

Metro Exodus is pretty intense. I agree, Bioshock Infinite was pretty awesome. Saying that Bioshock 1+2 were pretty raw. Best plot ever, though? Has to be 'The Secret of Monkey Island 2'.
Like many others, 'last of us' will always stay in the mind and I'm eager to play no2.
So many others worthy of note, but I'm also big fan of Horizon on ps4, such an excellent story and characters and possibly my fave of this gen.
Honorable shout out to 'Days Gone' which never got the praise it deserved imo.

I started playing “Days gone” when it came out on free to play. I would’ve paid for it if I’d have known it was that good! I’m hooked and I never thought I would be.
Max Payne 2: Fall of Max Payne - I like that noiresque atmosphere, the music, the over the top melancholic atmosphere... It harmonised well with my mood back then...
This^ elder scrolls by far the most immersive games. Skyrim is over 10 years old and is still un matched, probably never will be. Well over 100 hours game play or unlimited hours if you don't bother with main quest lines.
Life Is Strange
It really shows how the slightest thing can completely change the reality you get stuck in
It makes you contemplate the cause and effect that lead to living in your current reality and how fragile everything we perceive is
Ain't played the game in years but I still fell so emotionally connected to it

Xenoblade Chronicles for me. I love good RPGs and this story was kinda unique and on top of that the Gameplay was really fun too. Sadly the follow up Games were kinda meh...
Got to be final fantasy 9 I remember playing it as a 10 yr old and was super emotional lol
The last of us, for sure. What an emotional journey. Really looking forward to the next one coming out. Can’t wait to dive into that. Really nice to have summat to look forward to in these trying times. Much love.
Metal Gear Solid Series was excellent. Loved God of wars. First Bioshock was awesome. Assassins creed Odyssey was decent enough!
It got shit on constantly but I fucking LOVED Destiny 1 and 2. The story was meh, but the game itself ran so smoothly and in my opinion was one of the best FPS games to come out in years. I did stop playing a few months back though because I just had nothing left to do in it.
Story wise either Last of Us or God of War 5.
Story wise either Last of Us or God of War 5.
D1 and d2 played well but they would, its a bungie shooter. But they felt hollow which is a shame considering the hipe before 1. The lore is really good tho if you can peice it together. But it should be in the game more. D1 tied me over quite nicely between borderlands 2 and 3 lol and I met some awesome people playing it
Literally just bought Shadowkeep like a week ago. Got my Titan to 965 so far. Now for the Warlock and Hunter lol. Forgot how much I enjoyed playing the game
My favourite has got to be
Nier Automata
If you haven't played it I strongly suggest you do
So many twists and turns
The robot characters are named around famous philosophyers
The game touches on robots having emotions etc etc
Fucking fantastic honestly

Bioshock (obvs) but also Bioshock Infinite.
And Wolfenstein: The New Order.
Oh, and Ghouls'n'Ghosts....

I got hooked on the Sierra adventure games back in the early 90's. That led me on to the epic Broken Sword series by Revolution. Still worth checking out for its humour and storyline. Point and click has never been such fun.

Little Biggy land! Think of Charlie and the chocolate factory but replace all the sweets with the items wall 👌👌
Montevideo is one of the most chilled and pleasant cities I've been to. Outside of the tourist traps (mostly by the harbour) it's a fantastically friendly place.
Weed is legal (although what i smoked wasn't very high quality but great when drinking, bit like Thai weed) the architecture was incredible and they love the British... because they're not so keen on the Argentinians.
Jump on the Burqebus and you're in Buenos Aires in an hour or so.
Well worth a visit.
Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

Speaking from experience it doesn't matter where you live. It's who you have around you. I could move to any of the listed tomorrow. I'd still be lonely and isolated. Bottom line advice is, always hold on to your friends. They'll be very important to you one day.

Weed and reading books
By books you mean 1 paragraph a session, yes?
Weed and reading books
Best books to read about getting stoned - number one of course Hunter S Thompson, "Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas". What else could it be. Aldous Huxley "The Doors of Perception" has to be up there. Any jazz autobiography can fit the bill - "Straight Life" by Art Pepper is essential. The 1965 novel "Stoner" is an excellent novel, but sadly has nothing whatsoever to do with drugs! Any more recommendations?
As for books to read while stoned that's another matter. Personally I can't. Have to be straight when reading. That said. I should think "Ulysses" would be quite a trip.

I find Graham Hancock’s work fascinating whilst stoned. Fingerprints of the Gods, Magicians of the Gods and Supernatural: Ancient Teachings of Mankind. Are all very interesting talking about a lost civilisation and ties into the ancient Egyptians and Atlantis and other stuff. Worth picking up.
Mr Nice - Howard Marks
Snowblind - Robert Sabbag
Waiting for the Man - Harry Shapiro
Haven't read them for a good number of years but I enjoyed them at the time! Second two are quite old so you may have difficulty in find them (at a reasonable price!)
I read Waiting for the Man in pre-internet days. That thrill of looking around a bookshop (yes, shop not website!) and tucked away in the corner some books with a picture of a (looks over both shoulders with a small grin) cannabis leaf... wow a book about drugs... in public. Oh how times have changed! :)

Thanks CB- like everyone I’ve read Mr.Nice but hadn’t come across your other two recommendations. Just bagged both of them off Amazon for £3.49 each delivered (Used “Very Good”)…the Shapiro has been fully updated….I’m going to enjoy those- cheers mate!😻
Good! From memory, Snowblind similar to Mr Nice regarding funny/detailed accounts of the drug trafficking process and WFTM I only have hazy memory of as it was a while back when I read that and it was before the updated version! I just remember it was fun reading about each recent decades music style and drug of choice. Have fun!
Haha 😂. As I said above I have to be straight while reading. Reading when you're spaced out is the same as watching TV while you're fucked up. You can't remember any of it the next day!
I know this is going to sound weird but I actually enjoy reading when I’m high, although it does depend on the strain. I can pile into some pretty heavy books AND remember what I’ve read. Strange🤷♂️
What, you mean you can still follow the story AFTER the cat has sat on the mat? Wow... 😁 :)
Seriously mate I go for the big stories and I often get quite emotional. When I realised they weren’t going to be able to put old Humpty back together again I sobbed😢
And the fat Controller is a right cunt 😡

Bloody hell, thanks for the Trigger warning! Who do I report you too?
I tell you what has just popped in my head. Remember those old Children's books, Ladybird I think. Three little pigs and the like? Some of those pictures could get quite graphic if I remember. No trigger warning in them days, you just shat yourself, got on with it and suffer from night terrors and cold sweats for the rest of your life. :)

Too right…the gratuitous roasting of Bambi’s mum (don’t put that phrase in a search bar🫣) had a profound effect on me and I never much liked venison after that…😞
👍👍…the only thing that does my head in about ‘Fear & Loathing’ is the sheer quantities involved, I just can’t believe that an elephant could remain standing. In the booze version: ‘Leaving Las Vegas’ at least Nicholas Cage is genuinely trying to kill himself! (Great film imo👌)
For modern day drug-athons it’s hard to beat the grit and outrageous humour of Irvine Welsh. Obviously ‘Trainspotting’ is a classic but I love the total sleaze of ‘Filth’, ‘Ecstasy’ & ‘Porno’ …books that really give a clue in the title😂.. and they leave no doubt that Welsh has seen it all.
Joyce had to have been off his noodle on something when he wrote ‘Ulysses’ …it’s the only explanation 🥴

I'd agree about Fear & Loathing, but having just read Thompson's letters (he was a copious letter writer) from the late 60s to the mid 70s, he really was a major stoner. I think he got bored easily and had this restless, almost manic, energy. Think drugs were his way of scratching that itch. As for Joyce, yes! Only read it once and that was about 30 years ago. Keep telling myself I'll read it again one day but haven't done it yet!
Reading Ulysses once is a major achievement mate, I can’t believe anyone has ever read it twice 😂
David Nutt ( Ex government drugs advisor until he said some things the government didn't like so they kicked him out..... ) has a few books you may find interesting.

Not sure if LB has an onion link. They use Javascript so not really sure how it would work if it was hosted on the DW.
You can all use Tor still, and benefit from anonymity and security from that, just lower the security level to allow Javascript and then you can browse LB on its normal URL, just safely.

You should post negative reviews or what's the point and asking vendors permission to put a review on there products WHY, you've bought the product so judge fairly
Any negative reviews are posted back to the vendor.
If I haven't posted a review, I havent rated it
Suggestions to try are welcome :)

You need to post negative reviews, for example -1-been sent a dodgy product, -2-very overpriced for quality -3-way too long delivery, -4- poor comms with vendor, It gives other people a better feed back that could possibly buy a dodgy product or they might be told ndd when they'll be waiting for at least a week

LOL bigga's got a point ;)
Brexit Began Here
Rowling sprouted a cursed hatred upon Irish, Slavs and basically anything EU. The rest is Muggle history.
Casting spells of angry facebook memes.. And when all the shit starts (couple of weeks now) they will simply blame all those foreigners again.. Exciting, isn't it?
Yeah, they'll not though. They'll blame everyone BUT themselves. That's why we are where we are.

Roach vs Filter. What you using?
Hey LB
Just wondering what your using for Roach?
Love the adaptability of Roach to fit a cone etc. But, my lungs cant take the punishment so work with Rolls69 filters now. Also adaptable air flow by advancement and retraction to cool things.
What you fellow enthusiasts using?? Just a general community question....

i cant resist gving some skins trivia lol, Did YoU KnOW..? RAW and elements and juicy jays are all the same guys company, theres a great video on the history of RAW papers by J the owner/founder, makes you appreciate a guy who has a total passion for the best rolling papers he could possibly make, using 70 yo artisans to do the watermark on RAW papers. getting them made at the oldest rolling paper factory in the world in alcoy i think.
Didn't know this but delighted because I started using Raw Connisseurs (I think thats how you spell it?) about 2 years ago and now I hate rolling with anything else.
The 32 leaf pack comes with 32 perfect sized roaches and they just so the job perfectly in my opinion. Thanks for the trivia mate!

I find the raw skins dont really roll to a cone, they kinda fold into a cone, end up with a strange 20 sided shape joint lol, but i like a loose pack and a fast burn! So probably not an ideal skin for my rolling style, Zig zag blues or OCB hemps all the way!
FYI when i smoke blues, i fold, lick and tear about 6mm strip off the bottom of the skin, then roll. Ends up basicaly 1 papers thick all around the cone but the roach end, a nicer, less paperier smoke!
Anyone ever find smoking silvers that the paper burns to fast for the cherry, and you end up sucking half air half smoke through the roach, feels like you loosing half your joint? Just me maybe lol
(I can roll joints honest! 20years experience lol, i just like em loosey goosey)

Running a moist tongue along the edge over from the gummy allows the gummy strip to be torn off. The ragged edge can be bonded to the rolled J and one may enjoy a gum free puff.
Roach and tightly pack the bottom which acts as a filter its self.
Cotton filters should be illegal as you are basically smoking cotton as the hot smoke oxidises it.
On a side not ive recently switched to a small glass water pipe and my lungs have never been better, fuck all this paper man.

Interested in trying out a small glass pipe aint you recommend mate wouldn't mind fucking tobacco off finally and same goes for smoking papers
Charcoal actitube slim filters, so much lighter on lungs, much tastier and hits you the same as normal joint.
I’ve been using those and purize which are similar.
Even the slimmest are fairly thick but they do make the smoke cleaner and tastier and I don’t feel like my lungs are going to collapse the next day!

Use a variety. Rizla Micron or unbleached(real nice).
Currently using Cannaseurs extra long/ extra slim which have the +/-.
Next to try I have Raw Black

The best papers you could use, when you burn a paper on its own theres nothing left. I buy a 50 box at a time :)
Hi there, I’m currently using raw roach, someone was nice enough to buy me a shop box last Christmas and I’m still getting through them. I’m also a big fan of Quintessential hemp coated tips, I really like the booklets they make.
I have tried filterd joints out of curiosity but didn’t really enjoy it.
Raw are my go to paper, I like that it now that they so easily available in most UK news agents, definitely a step up from the blue rizla.

Oh yeah, it’s the way forward. These elements papers look nice, will have to give those a try.
For me I suggest forget any joint everyone should have a roor bong it's the only way to smoke! and much better on your lungs ,I personally ain't smoked a j for years, I remember going in the ganja museum and had picture of the human body and it said most healthy way to smoke weed is in a water pipe i.e BONG! Plus a good cherp sorts out the men from the boys! If you wanna invest in a smoking equipment forget vapes spend 300 quid on a proper bong
Deffo a cardboard roach for me, size appropriate to the chunkyness of mix ur putting in, i personally don't like my buds ground up to dust like it still chunky as a find when u get a good blast of a little bud you don't half know abt it, each to there own though
not sure what people mean by filter (an actual filter on a joint? never heard of it)... what I got used to do and find it difficult to do NOT do now is to use the tip of the cigarette (1cm max) as filter itself. He smokes lighter than a roach (smoother on your throat), but it taste better (get oily and if you the last puff is as good as the first)...
Raw roach or splinter Z vape for me bro. Couldn't justify using a filter that would be filtering my THC. You'll lose around 5-10% using those.
usually vape bro, but for blunts I use same shit :D only downside is price lol 10 quid for a pack.
I prefer the raw extra wide tips. I see you gave up tobacco. I was never a cigarette smoker and don't particularly like tobacco. I use a Real leaf herbal mix. Some of my friends can't stand it but I find it's not harsh on the throat like tobacco if you're a non-smoker. Each to their own I guess. Vaporise as well but it's hard to beat tight joint and I enjoy the process of skinning one up
lol same stuff with real leaf :D it's smells nice form the pack or when you smoke it yourself, but when my gf smokes it smells like burning plastic
I've used menthol filters when smoking for a long while. Back in the days I used a roach but that's too harsh for me as I'm getting on a bit. (Oh dear poor little me ha ha). I quite enjoy a J with menthol filters. BUT I hear menthol filters are being outlawed in England?? To stop younger people. Is that true or have I been told a fib?
No mate, only banning flavoured tobacco. Papers and filters are ok but can't be sold with tobacco included. A bit strange mind using them in spliffs haha but each to their own :).
I just throw in a roach of whatever is at hand (usually the skin packet) or the pre-cut stuff you get with skins

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

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

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

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

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

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

Diminishing Returns of Carts?
The first hit from a cart is like a first kiss, the last is like a peck on the cheek from someone with ok breath freshener.
Tolerance, I know but it doesn't work nearly like that with flower and even less so with edibles.
Tell me smarter biggaz, what it this?

Same here, not had one for a while neither cause of this. Like you say the first few hits are delightful, my last cart tasted metallic towards end.
yes, its like the shit that burns easy is the good stuff and at the end you are left with tough residue.
Try swapping between strains my man. This is the same effect that we all get after a few days on the same strain of bud.
Also, its possible that your cart is overheating the distillate / live resin, let us settle and cool down ( while hitting another vape of course ) and then try again later.

Also sorry but your talking like the bottom of a joint is the same as when you spark it and take your first draw.
No the end of the joint is hot, roch is black with oil ect ect
How do you know your dry vape is done? Tastes like crap
Could this not be said in relation to a lot of goods not just carts

I’ve been looking and discussed this a lot with friends. That’s how I like the combo as I do feel a longer lasting, overall better effect as it’s as one ☝️ and not been though the chemical process.
That’s why I also like rosin carts / live rosin if you have the cash

i switch it up and take breaks and it doesn't change this. even lightweight friends aren't impressed with the best cart when it's past the 2/3 point or so.
Been thinking about this and the other causes could be emulsifier residue, so the active compounds will always vape / pull through faster than an emulsifier. We saw this a lot with some of the first carts that we imported before moving to production.
The other possibility, is that the coil is being fried prematurely, so either weak cheap coils, too high a temp / current.
OR, if the quality is for sure top, then maybe trying a full ceramic coil cart. These last for ages, we use them with the higher live resin % products sometimes as they keep a balanced heat and can even be refilled.

Oh what a sad time . I can remember having a zx81, yes with all that screeching and beeping complete with the software not actually loading properly. I saved up for a 16k extension module, yeah wow I had ip to 16 k to use lol. Also often the extension module would corrrupt the software if it was moved or when I moved the main computer. I remember one of my favourite strategy games was GBLTD, and the other one if the best was the game where we had to outwit a dinosaur in a maze. Oh good memories -- I could go on all day about the ZX81.......:):):)
Oh yes the zx81 and the spectrum which seemed like a massive upgrade, i remember learning to clone the games using tape to tape and making a killing at school with a brief case full of games.
The spectrum 128k plus 2 (with included tape deck) was my first home computer and it was unbelievable ☺️
Beeeeeeeee... Bip...beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee... Bidlybidlybidly... 5 minutes later... So has it loaded then or what?
Imagine if that loading screen was the actual in game graphcs? No way it will never happen!
Under 40 and you won't have a clue what I'm on about. :)

Yeah but you could have that fantasy and then for some reason if something did eventually load it didn't matter
3d construction kit was the apex of speccy power that and 4d driving (was it 4d it had a loop the loop) that one was measured in frames per minute
And yea that's loading noise will forever be part of my childhood 😍😍🐰

#4 Link To Your Bigg Beautiful Self
Get creative and fun with posts here, risque everything - with your biggy identity. Then it's back to Clark Kent, with your irl identity you can link back to biggy from tiktok, insta, hell put it on facebook just post something like "look at this! .. and end with littlebiggy/your referral code".
You can generate your referral link by clicking share on the post. And now you earning bigga.
You can generate your referral link by clicking share on the post. And now you earning bigga.
I'm lost. You earn BTC with sharing links? But, why would I share a link to a product that is illegal in the UK?? Have I missed something??
yeah you missed something big. the point is you don't have to share an item you can link to any post on the site, even ones you, dwarfedgiant, create.
But then there is access, potentially, to this site from people who would report the site. For example, if I shared a post of mine, and the post was about anything. I shared a link to my post on FB. Now, anyone who can see my post on FB can now view my post on LB, and then see the 'Items' list if they went exploring. It just doesn't sit right in my head....willingly sharing access to a site that sells THC products.
You don’t need to worry about people reporting the site, concern for your irl is your choice. There’s nothing illegal about showing people what happens online, you can trickle that into your regular account.
Besides, its medicinal these days, only by quirk of geography are we a resistance movement.
Besides, its medicinal these days, only by quirk of geography are we a resistance movement.
I'm right behind you and fully aware that these days it's less frowned upon and is used for medicinal purposes now. My Mum uses CBD now, for example. It just doesn't sit right with me yet. It might do eventually, but at the mo I can't see the benefit from making others aware of LB unless they wish to purchase as well, then yeah.
this is it kid, it takes a while to get your head around so many things here. and it's hella useful when someone articulates their concerns like this. one of these days youll meet mum here though.
you're stealing my heart with your gentile naivete kid. to say nothing of one of the best profile images around. can i ask how you found this place?
lol I did a google search 'buy weed online uk' and came across a site that gave LB, and a few other sites, as ones that aren't scams. It wasn't through a link though.
Yes. It was just text on the site. There was a paragraph about LB. It said something like 'it's a good site, been around a while,' etc etc No link though.

any reference code ballers here?
just wondering what can be learned from you ;)
I made a link to the 3 words to describe little biggy post and gave it to my mate at the vape shop, he must have given it to 50 people now :)
you are spot on, this happens every 6 months and i give out the code a lot. make sure you send them a society link if they are freaked out about the clearnet.

Cart Sellers List All Ingredients Please
One way we can address this mess with vape carts is to require full disclosure of ingredients in order to sell here. It's an IRL requirement for all food and drugs; if we are trying to make a better world for people this seems like a good start.
We try and be as transparent as possible with how our vapes are made & we always test our distillate for synthetics to make sure the distillate we buy is definitely just THC and hasn't been cut with anything else. The only other ingredient we use is Terpenes from terpenes UK which seems to be a reputable seller of terpenes. I think that random testing would be a good idea for everyone, I would be more than happy for any of our products to be randomly tested, I feel like the only people that wouldn't like some form of testing are people selling dodgy products lol
I've been around the block with the carts on LB and they don't get better for quality and price.
Your transparency is awesome. Keep up the great work!
Your transparency is awesome. Keep up the great work!
A good start but let's think of the next step, some dealers gonna say anything to move product.
Yes a no trust system would be nice, a blockchain of testers but in the meantime there are many trustworthy testers out there with reports they publish for each test.
Dr extracts are by far the cleanest vapes out there and there cheaper aswell . $50 for 1000mg . Ive had all of them of this site. Some where unavailable far too harsh . Dr extracts is the best
Thank you mate, little post like this mean more to me than you could imagine. much love
I've had the ingredients showing on my listing from its creation. As always, I use distillate from a known Canadian lab and the only other ingredient is the terpenes, which are supplied by a terpenes uk. I'd be happy for any testing to be carried out on my products.
I'm probably just tagging on to an old topic, but it seemed relevant.

We press the rosin our self's from flower of multiple different vendors, the only other ingredient is unflavored terpenes we get out of the USA to make it less viscous.

What percentage of the cart is the added terpenes? Also what terpenes are in your added terpenes? Thanks

Hi Bigbum,
to protect our usp, we will not share what and how much we use. We spend a lot of time to perfect our process. But we can tell you that there is no phytol or propylene glycol in it. PG personally gives me a headache. More importantly we don't add flavored terpenes to our carts. All the flavor comes from the flower it self.
That is why we started making our own carts, because we wanted the full flavor and character of the flower it self.

This is again not the biggy spirit, but what would you do if another vendor purchased your product, through proxy. In order to write up a fake review, spread lies, and even to go as far as spoiling goods in order to take fake photos.
I do not name and shame, but has any other vendors had this happen to them. Interested in your experiences guys.

Be so careful with this guy people.
He’s the reason I’m out of business.
He setup a deal that seen me get ripped off over 3.5k!
Said he was ruined at the same time because he got done as well, was stopping because wife was going to leave him and can’t help me out at all and was my fault for trusting.
Now he’s selling lots again and won’t even answer my messages!
He was responsible for the whole sting and WONT help or make it right AT ALL!!
Absolute real lowlife that didn’t come across like this at the beginning, but they never do I suppose.
This happened the beginning of 2020 and I stayed completely silent about it, giving him the opportunity to make amends and the benefit of doubt. Guess what, still nothing!
This chap knew I was knees deep in chemo treatments and fighting my own cancer, still he did this to me with no remorse, this is the type of person that, in my opinion, to be able to do this, is sick and less than no morals.
Uk I gave you great ratings and feedback, completely trusted you, didn’t go public! but now it’s time to make amends, for my family at least, make this right please!!

That sucks man, really, but as others have said it was silly to make such a large order with a complete stranger. I wouldn't do that if I knew where they lived, let alone blind with no comeback. If you assume 420 is telling the truth, then you are out of luck, they can't cover it. If you assume 420 is lying, then you are still out of luck. Chalk it up mate, as hard as that is, and never trust a stranger with such a large amount. Go small first with new suppliers. Build the relationship. If a new supplier wants you all in first round then they intend to rob you dude.
that s bullshit advice ,so u buy small untill u can trust,and so easy to say chalk it up prick,
Unfortunately morals and ethics are luxuries when people are flush with cash and possessions. Sorry to hear this. Any reason why you handed over £3500? To me deals like that sound a bit large to not be done in person.
So true.
I had dealt with uk on here for about a year previously with faultless service and was great to deal with.
Loved his products and was buying a few oz outside of lb via a messaging app, complete risk but I was buying bits from anywhere I could source top quality hash to sell and use for my own medication. I was desperate to find a bigger seller to expand. It was when I got a message from uk, after I’d asked if I could get bars from him, he put me onto someone else whom he proclaimed was his main source. I just went on his word and pure trust, a handful of messages later the products were ordered and paid for. Everything seemed sound.
Nothing arrives, I ask uk and he said he was done as well and nothing he could do. Said he didn’t even know him and was just sent stuff like how me and him were doing business at the time. Obviously I didn’t take this lightly, this is when he turned very nasty and showed his true colours, just told me to do one and I was stupid to trust anyway pretty much.
I am the stupid one and was trying to save money buying larger amounts. I was struggling to make ends meet and was solely just making enough to medicate my own cancer and provide some lovely hash at the same time to the community.
Completely my fault and I should never had been such a fool you’re right, to large to do online. You think you know someone and can trust but you just can’t when money is involved.
I needed to get this off my chest and possibly protect others and maybe hear back from uk with actually an apology and acceptance of guilt would go such a LONG WAY
He knows I could have done this a very long time ago but I’ve been good enough to give him a chance to make it right.
He’s got lots of hash again and could start making things right

So... A deal you did with a third party off of LB was a no go. I don't see exactly how someone giving you a referral makes them responsible for the issue. And don't get me wrong, I'm really sorry you lost out. You dealt off of LB with no Escrow or security. Bad decision. I don't see how it's possible to blame someone for a decision you made in error.
"I just went on his word and pure trust"... That was your decision. However, I personally wouldn't part with 3 grand on a wink and a handshake.
I'm really sorry that you had this issue. I'm also really sorry that this happened in the midst of your cancer treatment.
I don't trust anyone on LB. I trust the Escrow and I trust myself. Live and learn, dude.
I sincerely hope you get well soon and that nothing like this happens to you again.
Peace!

Yeah a deal he did with a third party. Not my self, so why am I getting toasted here?
We both lost a tremendous amount.
I can't make amends for something I never done, it was his decision. I did not make him part with anything.
As I said we both lost a lot from this 3rd party.
He's only now posting this shit as I'm back on my feet and he want stuff off me.
Not happening. And to make out I didn't give too fucks. I apologised for something that I never done.
Your making this seem like you was the only one out of pocket. This nearly ruined me and my business.
Not to mention my life outside of biggy.
Now I'm back better than ever you want a piece of my pie, no thanks. Especially after all this nonsense.

You sound like a very trusting person. Sometimes the lessons that teach the most cost the most. Can you not grow bud for your condition?
Aw fuck man , this sucks as u and uk were the reason I became a fan of hash..was wondering where you went too. Hopefully ye can come to some agreement. All the best bazza
If you require a more legitimate script for your condition try the sapphire clinic, they charge £50 pounds initial fee then 2 more £50 check up fees and £106 per month and they will send a pre agreed amount of medicine to any pharmacy you require. Cheaper and more reliable. Just contact them and self refer. Then they get your details from your doc and youll be scripted within a month for 106 per month or 130 if you choose oil over flower. Good luck to you.

Roman Britain - The Work of Giants Crumbled
The Fall of Civilizations is an awesome series, this is Episode 1.
This is really interesting, seems the Romans never really integrated the local population so even at it's height the whole thing was tenuous.

You are correct 24601, I realised afterwards that it's embedded in my shares. I err towards caution here. Still I appreciate the bump very much.
That code is causing the error, but it's prefilled from a system generated setting I cannot remove. The screenshot is to evidence that there's an issue, those with the capacity to assist are welcome to require the offending token.

What can I sell?
Evening all,
I'm almost certain I've seen rules re what you can and cannot sell but I can't for the life of me find them, so I do apologise if I'm asking the most obvious question ever.
Are prescription medicines allowed on LB at all? I'm aware it's a little outside of the mainstream but perhaps someone would care to peruse my wares anyway.
Thank you in advance frens.

Thanks for the reply buddy. I'm afraid I'm new and I'm not really familiar with how the algorithms on the site work.
Would they delete a listing like that for violating the rules, or is it simply that there isn't much of a market here?

Oh I can do better than testing friend - I can supply in sealed, original packaging complete with leaflet.
I could source some other bits and bobs, but specifically I'm talking about Lyrica. I'm told it's becoming popular and I thought I'd see if anyone was interested.

sellers please do describe your items as accurate as possable little did i expect to raise a dispute for items not fit for purpose
Your best cause of action would
Be to get in touch With the seller direct and question why you have been sent item that’s not as you saw on the description.
Also take a look at previous reviews to get an idea on quality of product.
Obviously if the seller has taken the piss and sent you something totally different, and you cannot get communication going, by all means raise the dispute. But generally most sellers will try to sort the issue what ever it is (good vendors at least)

Your best course of action is a full (not anonymous) review sharing with us why you think what you do, and with pictures if relevant. You don’t order from that vendor again and other Biggas get to choose.
Politely give the vendor every opportunity to respond to your issues and settle to your joint satisfaction.
As a dispute, it’s all subjective. As long as you got the item you ordered in the correct weight then one man’s meat is another man’s poison. You may just have to suck it up…..👍

Disputing a bad order
Hi all,
Recently had a bad order land. Ordered an oz which turned up dead and wet. Contacted the vendor who doesn't want to replace or refund which I get because its my word against his (although I know what landed and so does he).
I get we can dispute if an order doesn't land as I have had to do that before but what about bad orders? Is there anything we can do about it? I have contacted transaxe and waiting for a reply but thought I'd get others views as it must happen often. Anyone ever had to go through a similar issue?

The vendor should sort something out, disputing is a last option like i had to wait 1 month for a sample still hasnt arrived and the vendor is ignoring me so i disputed now
there really is no reason to wait since you can cancel a dispute with a click. also there is a time limit to how long you dispute i don't think it's as long as a month.

Do not purchase from these guys unless you fancy a knock on the door from the police due to shit packaging. DO NOT USE THIS VENDOR AVOID AVOID AVOID you have been warned. I’m sure they will try and rebrand themselves there next grow is chocolate skunk and black sugar rose if you see any vendor selling just those two strains AVOID.
Looking at their reviews it seems you weren’t the only one. This is such a shame as it’s bad for everyone on here. I’ll be sticking to the reputable vendors
Yeah this will probably make it difficult for other new vendors who come on here. I certainly won’t ever use a new vendor again.No one needs that hassle, my only worry is they try and rebrand and others get caught again.

Fake shatter
First of all please do your on research before reacting to this topic. I realize there is a lot of fake shatter on this website i bought a couple of different ones an they all taste the same. They all become powder when smashed with a solid object and the powder wont go back together even if you heat it. This stuff doesnt melt when squeezed between two fingers and it didnt even melt when put into isopropyl alcohol. A lot of people think its distillate mixed with hardening and coloring agents. Keep in mind that this stuff will still dab pretty nicely without leaving much residue and it does get you pretty high but anyone who has made shatter before should be able to tell the stuff is fake. Im asking all dealers to stop selling this shit and stop messing with peoples health!
I didn't know this!
I will do my own research as I always do especially with things on the internet.lol. but thank you for sharing this information dude!
I will do my own research as I always do especially with things on the internet.lol. but thank you for sharing this information dude!
I'm seeing this too much with most extract vendors on here as of late. People really need to look up about pine rosin and how it's used to fake all this shit quality extract we are seeing on this site. Come on vendors cut the shit. Or at least one of you start selling real extracts again. Trust me you'll be the top vendor on this site soon enough
If I was sold fake shatter I'd be letting the people on this site know who sold it so it don't happen to them. Let the seller explain themselves and if you really want to prove this as true do a video and add the link would be my suggestion because people can make any claim but that don't make it true.. I mean you just say dealers with not much proof
I have already contacted the seller im waiting for his response and this specific item is out of stock. A video sounds clever but you will get people saying its not their product and i have used something else. The msg here is simple im not going to spend more money and time getting it lab tested but if you buy shatter and its unrealistically stable and turns into dust when crashed it is very likely its fake. There are many videos on youtube for you to check out what it looks like and how you can do a visual test.

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.

Saw them live in the summer at Crystal Palace bowl and they were great. Divide and Exit was my intro to them as well. I think they've improved with each album, love the new stuff.
I’ve discovered them same time as you. Great band!
Also i made another discovery. See above link.
Cheers!

Two men with more demons than a fuckin' Halloween Party. Awesome.
Mostly prefer the older stuff (Originator/ Retweeted/ Mekon) but the new album looks pretty good too.

NDD no show
Hi I was supposed to receive NDD on Friday 16th July but it hasn’t arrived. Vendor says tracking shows still at sorting office. Does this mean it’s seized as I thought all NDD were kept separate from general post & offered extra security plus I’m seeing lots of people with the same problem but as comments not dated hard to tell if recent. If seized does anyone know if you get a knock on door or just a letter.
I ordered 6th July, still at royal mail 19th July, spoke to customer service, they say it is classed as missing and not seized and sender can get refund.
Postman definitely took that lol
21/7
Postman definitely took that lol
21/7
I had a NDD that was supposed to arrive yesterday (listed as sent Monday). The afternoon is wearing on and it's still not here today. I sent a message last night to see if it could be tracked but it hasn't been opened (vendor hasn't used messenger for two days, apparently). My area isn't listed as affected by delayed service by RM. The last NDD I had from this vendor arrived fine. If I'd seen all those posts, I'd have ordered elsewhere. I use edibles for pain management so being stuck like this really fucks me up--I guess I just got too comfortable with things arriving when I order them! I'm not swimming in money either and this wasn't a tiny order. Not happy at all.
I think the problem is RB’s Royal mail area as there’s loads of comments all saying stuck. I too saw he’s not been on messenger for 2 days. I’ve ordered loads of times from him in the past all NDD & have all arrived bang on time so I’m really hoping it’s just covid delays & nothing more sinister
Mine arrived this morning! I checked the tracking and it was sent... yesterday afternoon (21/7), when it was marked as sent Monday (19/7). Not really pleased that I paid for next day delivery and have been sitting around waiting on the postie for days for no reason, but very glad it materialised! Hope yours does too.
Glad yours arrived but not good they only sent it yesterday. I hate the hanging around for the postie bit too. I’ve been told mines lost so he offered reship 50% or refund 50%
Me too. As best I could tell the ones like yours ordered last week(?) were stuck at some depot. If there was a known issue I would certainly hope that the vendor would send later orders from a different post office, with different packaging, whatever... Or if orders aren't getting through RM, stop accepting them temporarily. If NDD is the problem, send first class. Something. Fingers crossed it's just RM delays and nothing worse...
Hey, RB has been in touch to say my NDD parcel was intercepted at the sorting office, and has offered a 50% reship or refund. Would recommend getting in touch with him to get sorted :-)
Hi yeah he’s contacted me saying RM said mine is lost & offered me the same. If someone’s taking them from the post office not sure I want to risk losing another order. Did you get the tracking number from RB to know it was actually sent as Deepdish received their order today that they’ve been waiting on but was only posted yesterday.
Yep got the tracking number and it was sent when RB said it was, 10 days ago now so deffo taken me thinks. It isn't RB fault however I'm not going to accept a reship as don't want it to go missing again or put my address at jeopardy.
Likewise mate, sticky finger post man got mine too, no point in a 50% reship, just cut losses. Shame though, RB was one of my regulars.
Yeah I can’t see the point of a reship if compromised. RB was my go to as well, got 99% from them so it’s a shame
Do you know if it’s best to go through escrow or just give RB your Bitcoin address for them to refund direct. Not had to get a refund before so I’m unsure of best way. I’ve seen others saying they’ve got 90% & some full refund from escrow but RB’s terms do say 50% once.
Some further info from RM website which might be useful…

Hey! I received an order this morning 21/7 that was sent RM 1st class recorded on 15/7. Not NDD I know, but there is hope :)
I shared this information recently on another post, but I’ll mention it again.
According to yesterday’s service update on their website, as well as some other issues, a fair few Royal Mail staff have had the dreaded ping from the NHS app and are having to self isolate which has caused disruption to deliveries 🚚
They are also prioritising delivery of COVID test kits, which will no longer be free of charge as of next month. I have a feeling folk have been stockpiling which will create more of a backlog.
Worse effected seems to be guaranteed next day and signed for. I’m guessing that processing requires more resources?
I can’t offer any words regarding seized parcels as thankfully never had the experience.
I’m sure another Bigga will be able to advise on that subject.
Best of luck!

Take class A substances off the wall
I’ve noticed class A substances on the wall. Surely this is a quick way to get LB really bad press and closed down. Got nothing against the aforementioned substances but I think they would be better off on the darknet.
Agreed, with the exception of psychedelics. Not only are they relatively safe, they carry less social stigma and are less likely to attract negative press. What denotes a 'psychedelic' vs 'non-psychedelic' substance I suppose is a little subjective (e.g. research chemicals) but maybe I'm overthinking it. This is one of the best communities I've ever encountered on the internet in recent times so I have faith.
That being said, I haven't seen any other Class As on the items page. Will report if I do.

Be nice to get some guidance on what's allowed and what's not. And if there would be a way to offer it more discretely on the www, the reviews have been pretty spectacular on my end.
That said, yes I can definitely see and respect the security aspect for LB

Sorry but when it thinks like psychedelics that help with so meany different elements then thats a different kettle of fish don't get me wrong other class A's should not be on here.
We just need to now what we can do on this site beacaus at the end of the day we are operating out side the current legal system and I know we don't want to make this site on top. 🍄😁

why is empty housing a popular investment?
with so many city dwellers experiencing housing shortages why does society reward investments in empty housing?
becuase its a moronic system. empty houses and people sleeping on the street is a catagoric fail.
Governments love taxing them without having to deliver services they are the perfect customers and they can't ever cancel.
yes, and these are the properties that should be taxed most as they bring no economic value to the neighbourhood
Continuity, people love to put their money into something that is a safe store of value over the long term, it's the same reason investors have been attracted to bitcoin.

World Riot I
folks lets call this beast what it is, a global street revolution.
while corporate media tries its best to treat all this as unconnected, one-off, occurrences that gets pretty fucking ridiculous when 20 minutes of the 30 minutes news is riots (the other 10 is still commercials to return our wages back to the machine itself).
of course it's global that's what your media has achieved, a whole world scared of the same thing, an ultimate lowest common denominator. well now you fuckers have divided by zero and it doesn't feel very good does it. suddenly you're not so sure?
fear not, the greediest of the bunch will see a profit in spade calling soon enough. the world riot is an irresistible story even if it is the truth. however what comes after that will arrive between our cheeks boys and girls, the gang of leaders that will "restore order". because let's face it these people are getting dangerous and they are holding umbrellas and some have completely unregulated paintball rifles, someone could lose an eye if we don't lock them up and get on with normal life. will it require a few more powers? more than last time? yes, times change and these new agitators are equipped with texting, it takes ages to read all this, some of it still doesn't go through us to begin with.
please take my remote away, im falling asleep through it this time. you're all getting cancelled soon enough.

The whole thing seems so dystopian like when they show the news in a sci fi movie and the world is falling apart.
I read a column once about Russell Brand, the one quote i can recall from it was;
"just make sure you don't start your revolution when X-Factor is on the telly Russell, or nobody will turn up"
Says it all, in my humble opinion.
Just my 2p

Good morning Bigga'z! We hope you're all enjoying your week so far!
Welcome to NugNinjaZ Euro Canna-Cup 2020/1 round 4 - a clash of the titans!
England vs Germany (29/06/2021)
For the rules and regulations please read through our first topic on NugNinjaZ Euro Canna-Cup 2020/1 before entering the competition and also please check out the UPDATE below about penalties and the final score. Good luck!
Due to the possibility of penalties you can now grab yourself an extra 1 gramm IF - You manage to guess the correct score of the game after 90 or 120 minutes and you were the first person to do so then great! You have already bagged yourself your 2.0g's of the finest Cannabis flower. For that first person that guesses there answer correctly - there 2.0g's is secured no matter what and you can leave it there if you would like too... BUT on the other hand, if you fancy taking it one step further and would like to take a shot at guessing the winner of the game on penalties too (if it goes that far) and you just so happen to get that correct too alongside your correct guess of the game before penalties then you will receive an extra 1.0g of Cannabis Flower on top of your original 2.0g's. In total that would be - 3.0g's of the finest cannabis flower. We hope this all makes sense and sorry for the ramble. Most importantly - enjoy yourselves Bigga'z, have a great time, what a game this should be! Good luck!
So lets just be clear Bigga'z we want the usual - a guess of the score after 90 (or 120) minutes and also if you fancy it then - take another guess at the winning team of the game via penalties (has to be at the same time and included with your first guess and obviously within the same comment otherwise it will not be included)
The competition is now open! The competition will close at 4:30pm GMT half an hour before the game kicks off. Again its on a first come first serve basis so please check the comments before posting your answer as you dont want to duplicate somebody else's answer as they will have already secured there place by commenting first.
There can only be one winner each time so you better get your answers in fast! Let the good times roll on - have a blast, have a laugh and enjoy Bigga'z!
So far the winners are:
TheCowboy
jayspadez
EasyMe33
Can any of you make that 2 wins? Or shall we add some more names to that list? Let the battle commence!
Lets do this! Good luck! :) Have a fantastic Tuesday and a brilliant week!
Keep smoking the best and stay high!

The competition is now open! The competition will close at 4:30pm GMT half an hour before the game kicks off. Again its on a first come first serve basis so please check the comments before posting your answer as you dont want to duplicate somebody else's answer as they will have already secured there place by commenting first.

to the sellers that stayed online during the blockchain meltdown: STRONGER
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.
I messaged admin. They sent me a link to the pool. Which I could see for myself was jammed.
That was all the confirmation I needed, and was happy to carry on working.

not surprised to see most of the og biggaz stayed online, they've seen enough shit with bitcoin to be used to this.
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.

Is French wine better than English? Is Scotch whisky better than Polish? The main factors that influence the final product are the “terroir” (yes, that’s a real word) of the plant. The soil, the water, the sunshine, the altitude, the cultivation. Ocean Grown (OG) seeds seem to do extraordinarily well and can contrast markedly with Euro hydroponics even when using the same seeds. Plus legalisation has bought in big competitive elements for strains to really stand out with their own USP.
Don’t forget that a big chunk of that ‘crazy’ high price now goes in tax to the government, plus licenses and store overheads.
The good thing is that on LB, you pays your money and you takes your choice. Even the most expensive cali bags seem to sell...good luck to them. Smoggyman’s Portland Oregan Mimosa (which ironically wasn’t expensive) blew my world!

Just vaped his Ice Cream Cake so you won’t get anything but agreement from me! ;) Oh man, and this is UK hydro, Cali seed, cared for to perfection. What are we to conclude??
As others have said it's all marketing, turns out even weed smokers are corporate sheep :(
There's also this misconception that because it's legal it's safer... you know, because America is famous for its high safety, environmental and agriculture standards lmfao... also Americans LOVE pesticide and it's not unusual for cali weed to be heavily contaminated with stuff that isn't even legal here in the UK but hey-ho it's "legal" so it must be "safer". It's just not true at all.
Not saying there aren't some amazing growers out in Cali btw, of course there is there are amazing growers all over the world!
Still it gives middle class kids the opportunity to think they got something "superior" just because they paid the price of gold so that's good for them I guess ;P

its just choice u can wear armani jeans or tesco will they both cover yout legs but many pay 150 for designer clothes when coukd hsve got tesco 12 quid jeans im not in for argunent or any malice but really its choice u dont have to buy but u also dont need to always have the cheapest iv bought cali snd its been shyte iv bought cali and it been mind blowing. Good cali .lasts twice at least as long so cost per joint isnt much diff from buying a 65 doller 8th. For me its a treat as BB points out just bevause from.cali dosent mean its automsically better but proper genuine cali is special
lol but then the religious folk would feel left out, I can only persecute so many people I'm just one man!
Jokes aside I was only pointing out something being legal in one country doesn't automatically make it safer - not trying to start an Atlantic war!

Yup cali will definitely divide some opinions haha I should point out I'm obviously against it but my post is half tongue in cheek so please to any cali lovers out there don't take offence! :) People can smoke whatever they want but cali aint for me!
Definitely a big gap between European and American standards/regulations. On everything.

Cali weed is the upper echelon. If you thought smoking weed is nice then trust me cali is a different feeling. I hear a lot of people down play it but honestly if you've got the money then I don't see why not. Its more than just white ash its smooth tasty and more healthy. With packs or not cali weed will still be different than european weed.
This makes sense, I did think about the grape analogy. soil, direction facing, elevation, relative humidity.
But.. have we not come so far that bar a little variance you could replicate these ideal growing conditions.

Pretty much. The Japanese make highly acclaimed (and very expensive) whisky by analysing and replicating the exact mineral composition of Scottish highland water. But I’m not sure how many Scots would drink it!
Cali is fine weed but do the Dutch care?

I'm tempted to try a tiny bit back to back with what I consider prime bud.. for science lol
For me though a plant that is loved and cherished surely grows stronger, when doing loads how do you give that same love and attention?
Took me hours per week when i did it and that was just 2 babies

It’s a fair point. There are plenty of non-licensed street sellers in legalised States because buyers believe the mass grown product for government licensed shops is much poorer quality (and more expensive) than the small volume “craft” growers. It’s ironic when you think that legalisation was supposed to wipe out the street sellers but they thrive on quality & price!
i agree u have had shit cali no.better im fact worse than average uk bud but then had proper proper cali and was amazing. its not thst expensive as lasts longer as a littke bit goes a long way its simply a treat now again for me
Big budget R&D and genuine measured quality control.
There’s comparable bud in U.K. for sure, but like anything made at home compared to a commercial operation...
You know when you bought new weed and you’re wondering if it’s gonna be any good or not? You don’t have that issue in California, your buy comes with its test results.

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.

Do we know the source of our weed?
Hi guys, just wondering if anyone has any idea of the source of the weed we buy from venders here? I ask as a good friend of mine who lets a house out has just had his house ruined by an Albanian crime ring that turned his house into a weed factory, they literally gutted the house ripped all the wiring out holes through the ceiling, there had been fires from the dodgy electrics they had run from a lamp post and they had a poor Albanian slave locked in there running it, who feared for his life if he tried to run. It really hit home and I would hate to be contributing to this sort of thing.
Yes, this issue is important to me. I don't want to potentially put money in the hands of violent gangs running shitty operations with human trafficking and modern slavery.
The best thing about LB for me is being able to buy DIRECT from legit, knowledgeable growers who care about what they are doing and are selling their own produce.
The vendors I've tried so far who most represent this spirit are:
UKCannaFarm - https://littlebiggy.org/viewSubject/p/4791333
GreenFinger - https://littlebiggy.org/viewSubject/p/4779547
There are others on here who do this, like ChronusBuds and British Bulldog. I have yet to try them, but it looks like they get v.good feedback too.
When a new indie grower like this joins LB comes along and gets noticed, there are usually multiple attempts to leave fake negative reviews. These can only be coming from some of the shadier vendors trying to force them off the items wall, or off the site completely - just ignore this kind of hate and show love to the decent biggaz!

Thank you for the mention, Father Jack, PM me for a sample if you want to try, no problem.
I agree, I really don’t want to be part of a problem with the most simple answer (legalise it, but a conversation for another time).
Thank you for highlighting vendors you have researched, I will look them up.
If I may just add to your list of decent vendors, I have been using MKK2020 a lot and I believe they grow a lot of their own. The service is excellent to the point where I had a minor issue and they resolved it brilliantly.
Cheers

But I would take a guess that most vendors arnt growers themselves.

Thanks for your openness, I get the feeling most venders on here are genuine like yourself, but there is a dark side to this industry that are also in the business of people trafficking and slavery and there products should not reach the LB community.
Noble enough sentiment, but you do then start to ask about the potential human cost that put your shirt on your back and the potential inhumanity that put that sausage on your plate.
I get it that suffering in the drug chain is a big part of the ‘Just Say No’ argument but it’s hardly unique in mass consumerism. I guess growing your own is the way to go (and making your own clothes, going vegan etc)...just don’t have time.

I hear you pollypuff and agree whole heartedly, unfortunately I suffer from the inherent human disposition of only seeing the problems in things when they have affected you or someone close to you.
Getting a medical prescription is the only way to be confident that your weed is unadulterated. It is easy process if you have an unmet medical need
Thanks Forestfire, My needs are not medical though, I just love to get high from time to time!

Hi Zimmy. I'm a customer in Ireland, like you. So far I've had success with Radar Breeder and Super Hans before and after Brexit. I've put in an order with Hootan this time around. It's shipped from Spain, so inside the EU. I agree it'd be great if we had a reliable Irish vendor. Hope you get hooked up.

Yes but it disturbs me to think of all the household accidents we can avoid. Lots of people slip in the shower, who do we still allow this?
Get rid of showers and we can also eliminate poisonous household cleaners which have gone unchecked for way too long.
But hygiene. A licensing program for all dangerous household items is the better solution. We can add knives, forks and any furniture light enough to be thrown.
I'm starting to like the sound of this, it's comforting me but if we can't see into people's houses can we really be sure about compliance? Remember, we are talking about people's lives here.
If everyone just committed suicide all at the same time… Sure that would be a bad day but there'd be no more death forever afterwards....Problem solved.
someone's not thinking of the environment, we need to think ahead to our legacy instead of trashing the planet even more.
bottom line we must choose surveillance of our thinking over further jeopardizing this planet.

Thoughts on Cyberpunk 2077?
Anyone played or seen Cyberpunk 2077, I've watched a few videos on it & thought it looked alright, not sure whether to buy it though, would be great to hear from other people what they think of it and if its worth the purchase. thanks
I've been playing on Stadia ( I have a potato PC ) and it was 95% stable since day 1 which is good. It was in a high frame rate setting by default which looked ugly AF but once found the setting and changed to quality over performance and it looks fantastic. I'd say it's a good game, but I don't think I'd call it a great game. It's very shallow, the open world is a lot more basic than even skyrim and not a patch on RDR2. The story is also not yours, its Jonny Silverhands which is a bit crap for a supposed RPG. Youngrippa did a good video about expected (or promised?) features and how almost all of them don't exist in the released version. People talk about the bugs sure but it has many more flaws than that. The linear story is fine, albeit about someone else. But you have to ask what the fuck they were doing for 6 years when they couldn't even get some basic systems functioning properly in that time. And I think Youngrippas other observation is correct - once they paid for Keanu the game took a different direction, the earlier iteration was honestly probably the better game. It's definitely worth a play, cruising around the city with jazz on radio and smoking a J is a sci-fi wonder. But the shallowness of the mechanics and open world definitely let it down. In time I hope they flesh it out more like what was spoken of in their 45 min gameplay videos from a while back, cos it just isn't that game right now. I'm near the end of my playthrough, starting to struggle to bring myself to bother and absolutely no incentive to go back and just dip in and "enjoy" the open world cos frankly its dead. So you play for the story and once you've played the story I don't know why you'd replay it, the life paths only open up 1 or 2 different dialogue options. If you want to see a nicely rendered cyberpunk/sci fi city and a fairly engaging story then you'll be satisfied. If you're looking for a deep open world experience with a good amount of replayability then I would say "watch out". 6.5 out of 10. But definitely a potential for higher score in the future - again - I'm not even factoring in any bugs - just what the game "is". And what it isn't...it's not one of my favourites, sadly. But it is in no way a bad game.
I've been looking into stadia and Nvidia geforceNOW recently. How good actually is stadia cus I have heard mixed reviews, I no longer have a proper PC on a laptop which obviosly can't run anything good on it. Just really wondering how the stadia runs, what are the graphics like, is there any problems with it and if its actually worth getting, cheers mate
If you subscribe to youtube, you can get a Stadia for free. Well not free; the Sub is £14.99 here.
Just be careful as if Stadia ever does shut down, you'll be left with nothing.
Just be careful as if Stadia ever does shut down, you'll be left with nothing.
How smooth is stadia running, I've never used it. does it get the same FPS as a normal gaming PC?
Yes... but then, why wouldn't it? The only thing it's really dependent on is your internet connection. Some graphics options are not always available (as they are preset on the machine the game is being streamed from). But I don't notice any difference from a game installed on hard drive to playing on Stadia myself :)
Might have a look at getting it then as my current PC just isn't good enough for gaming. So you recommend it then?
I have Stadia and GeForce Now. The latter costs me £5 a month and the former - well - I started with the "Pro" version (for 4K, but as I say I have a potato PC so no 4K monitor or support etc) so scrapped it, so effectively I have Stadia for free and just buy the games I want (so far only two, RDR2 and Cyberpunk - though I plan to buy Far Cry 5 and Metro Exodus in the near future). Sure, I was laughing along with everyone else about Stadia before trying it, but honestly, it's pretty great. When it doesn't work it is only because it's 5pm and my ISP (post office, pretty crap) is under strain. At all other times of the day, it works flawlessly and I only get 1 to 2mb down if I'm lucky. It's fun to know I can also put Chrome browser on some other devices and play the games there too, like my old crappy laptop and smartphone! The choice for me was made cos I don't have much HDD space left and am not upgrading my PC yet, these factors pushed me towards Stadia and GeForce Now for the meantime. Also that no download is needed so I buy the game, press one more button and I'm playing. It's nice! GeForce Now is also good however I honestly think the performance on Stadia is that little bit better. I try RDR2 on Stadia at 3pm and it works fine, but another game on GeForce Now at that hour is a bit stuttery. I do also like GeForce Now, as it is linked with Steam. Deus Ex ran almost flawlessly, JP:Evolution also. Star Trek online is a hot mess however, no matter what time of day (even 3am in the morning) and it runs like crap. But overall very happy with GeForce Now as I am with Stadia. But like I say outside of the one-time purchase of games for Stadia, I'm not paying for it, so I don't have much to complain about. I am totally over owning hard copies of games - they are just "stuff", stuff that can be re-bought in the future if I must. Finally, speaking to other Stadia users (actual users, not people who are merely looking at it and commenting lol) they all sound a bit like me - happy with it. So you are right (and wise) to ask people who actually use it. I'm yet to find someone who uses it and ISN'T satisfied. They probably exist, but through Red Dead Online I've met a lot of people now and whenever the Stadia conversation comes up, it's generally praise. All the best!
This game was way overhyped! More of a glorified single player call of duty.
It's like the developers never played legend of zelda.
For me, any new RPG needs to be a mixture of skyrim and gta at least, it's 2021 for God's sake.

The most disappointing game I think I’ve ever played. Been hyped for this game for years ever since announced basically 10 years ago. What a waste of time. So many performance issues and that’s before we even talk about whether the games actually any good. Personally I can’t believe the nonsense CDPR have put out, sent mine back for a full refund it was that bad.
Yes very true, never sent a game back but honestly never been so angry/disappointed with a release. Just a complete shambles. To be honest even without the performance issues (which are game breaking) it’s just a very linear game which is pretty dull to play with absolutely no world depth beyond what’s on the surface. Even the story’s lacking. It’s just the complete opposite of what anyone could’ve expected from the makers of such a great game as The Witcher 3.
this comment is 100% spot on,i cant believe how little choice/interaction there is in the game,also the AI is terrible overall.im not saying no enjoyment can be had from the game but considering how anticpated it was falls short by some distance
its a shame i was really expecting it to be something really good, very disappointing
I completely agree with you about the performance issues ruining Cyberpunk. But I was just curious as to what you thought made the world building and story the Witcher 3 good compared to Cyberpunks?
Tbh it runs perfectly for me on pc(gtx 1660ti on ultra), I've finished most of the storyline and almost all of the side missions and I've encountered only one bug when an npc was walking in the air. I'm only a bit disappointed because the story seems a bit lackluster, honestly I was hoping it be like rdr2 where missions and side quests just come out of the blue and make the whole thing feel a bit more organic but hey..
I've been playing on PC since release and I've been enjoying it a lot. Deep down its a fantastic game but is currently ruined by bugs, crashes and poor optimization. I've been fortunate that I haven't came across many issues on my pc as it's fairly powerful. I'd say only buy it if you have a powerful pc or a PS5/Xbox Series X. Don't even consider it on a base PS4 or xbox one.
Playstation removed it from store it's so broken lol - I think it's safe on new gen consoles though.
One of the most overhyped games was always going to disappoint people, thankfully I don't read into any fanfare and I rarely watch game trailers etc so in a years time when the GOTY edition is on sale for £7 I'm sure I'll love it! :D

Ive Been playing it on Series X and Im really enjoying it, Ive had the Odd graphics glitch and thats it. Its still an enjoyable exprence. I would personaly say its far less broken that Fallout, Skyrim and The Witcher 3 on Release
Glad you responded becaus i was looking at getting the xbox series X with it but wasn't sure if it would be properlly broken like the xbox one, good to know its alright
Best I've ever played. Honestly. I'm on a series x. Crashea from time to time, and there's some bugs. I'm confident it'll grow even more and hopefully the multiplayer is a success.

Anyone got any good movie suggestions? I'm bored out my mind and can't find anything decent to watch
thanks
thanks
The Gentlemen, Guy Ritchies latest film and I think maybe his best. Very entertaining watch.
Freddy got fingered or Deuce Bigalow are my go to movies when I’m high, I love a good giggle at immature movies while locked on the couch!
The Gentlemen without a doubt my favorite movie of 2020. Genuinely hilarious. Watch it with a spliff and you'll have a good time my man! ;)
Definitely this one.Howard Marks! the man is a legend! If you have the time read the book. Even more details.
If you liked Snatch, then there is an Australian rip off called "Crooked Business". It's full of one liners. Amazing when high.
Peanut butter falcon. Great story telling and characters against amazing scenery. It's like a river road movie.
Amazing new tv series from italy, -Romulus! about warring clans, treachery & leading up to the founding of rome.
good effects and great acting:)
Its great to see a tv series that's based on probably one of the most important moments in world history(:

I don’t mean to double dip but The Taking of Pelham 123 (1974) perhaps the best movie I’ve ever seen. I’m 44 minutes in and it’s 104 minutes long.
Group of guys hijack a subway train full of passengers in New York City and demand money basically
Les Mis (movie about police in France, not the musical), Hereditary, Let Him Go, I Saw The Devil, Death to 2020, Borat 2.
The Conjuring, Tetsuo the Iron Man, The Evil Dead, Midsommar, Hereditary, Big Trouble in Little China, Ikiru, Seven Samurai, Gummo, Brokeback Mountain, Fury, Whiplash
Ive been cleaning out dvds lately and came across 2 old faves. Pulp Ficton and Dazed and Confused, great movies to have a splif with
For fun try Kung fu Hustle and/or shaolin soccer...about £3.00 on amazon or a search on youtube for copies with dodge sound. totally wild and original martial art goof movies.
Possessor directed by David Cronenberg's son is pretty a good recent movie and while on sci-fi try Upgrade.
Completely mental movie but one of the best I've seen recently.

Tbh if it’s something recent you want I would go for tv series much better than movies nowadays that are just out for either a tax break or an attempt at just worldbuilding to more movies. Ready player one was the one movie I was hoping to be good and it was utter garbage.
The lesson of that movie is supposed to be that you don’t mess with an original artists creation (oasis) yet there’s the iron giant who originally never wanted to be a gun and his in this very movie slaughtering thousands indiscriminately lol wtf

Young moroccan arrives in french jail and in time becomes the boss. It's an old crime story,but what makes "A prophet" special is the script and setting. The setting is the french prison system.The mobs are Corsican,French and muslim. The script is about as good as it gets. As I say,best crime movie of the 21,st century and it's NOT American!

what if we let the boomers die?
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 fuc…
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.

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....

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.

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

Be honest buddy,
You think you'd rate my bud a 6/10?
It was me that confronted you about your 8/10 review, it was me that gave you an extra gram of what you wanted on your SECOND order, and it was me that wondered why, if you didn't like the product, why on earth are you ordering it again?
Happy to lose my 10/10 here, I'm getting sick of this shit.

You think you'd rate my bud a 6/10?
It was me that confronted you about your 8/10 review, it was me that gave you an extra gram of what you wanted on your SECOND order, and it was me that wondered why, if you didn't like the product, why on earth are you ordering it again?
Happy to lose my 10/10 here, I'm getting sick of this shit.

I only got 2 orders in for your last stock BB and both were excellent easy 10'S in comparison to listing. I think part of the issue is LB has nothing explaining to people what the score relates too and everyone then comes up with their own interpretation of what it means
Hey i was not talking about your order specifically mate, just in general. I think i gave a you a fair rating overall. No need to get upset or defensive, i did not name anyone in general and actually your bud was the better ones ive had on here. Ive had other vendors message me about ratings too, so im sorry you felt this was about you but its not. I cant complain about you as you had been very helpful and fair.
In general this is a discussion on why some people rate stuff the way they do. Especially stuff thay does not deserve a 10.

I reckon there should be two types of ratings, one for the product & delivery/deliver time and one for the vendor.
Your rating the product and service against the advert, think like eBay star system or satisfaction score Rather than directly reviewing the product itself. So if it's advertised as crappy trim will arrive in 2 weeks in an eggbox at $2 a gram and what you get is crappy trim in an eggbox then that's a higher score than someone who sells absolute fire ***** green and it turns up wet and underweight then that would be a lower score. Hope this makes sense and that's just my interpretation of how the system works
this is a great interpretation of it but i was thinking it was against my own POV, like against every thing I've ever bought here.
i wonder how everyone else looks at this?

The ratings here’s a joke! A 10/10 would have to be the best weed on the planet for me. A 9 would have to be top top top..
Most of what we’ll order will probably be 7-8s but i feel bad rating stuff that low
Most of what we’ll order will probably be 7-8s but i feel bad rating stuff that low
Agree with both 100% i think the score of each product probably affects the overall score for the vendoor, just guessing.
I hate it when someone rates before trying, especially giving a very high score for just arriving :-)

What annoys me and I have posted about before I get really irritated when you see a review and its 10/10 but when you read the comment section they say they haven't tried it yet. It artificially inflates someone's average score. I have been looking for more detailed reviews on vendors page and been doing a few of these type of reviews so other people can get a bit more info about the product
Personally, the score is reflective of the product being as described, the communication and the service. If the item is exactly as described, clean, well cured, well packaged etc and the vendor ships as per their service statement, it’s difficult to mark down. I wouldn’t post my review until I’ve sampled.
Of course, flower is like food in that what I think is amazing may not be the same for someone else and vice versa.
But overall, if I order an item and what I receive is as described (so allows for c-grades etc) and is of a good quality, and the service is as I expect, then it’s generally a 10 from me. Much like Amazon, eBay and any other retailer.

I mean, if a vendor had the most amazing product but was a nightmare to deal with, that should be reflected in the score.
Wish there were a way to rate the seller and rate the product separately. I’ve had sellers who sucked as far as customer service (poor communication, took forever to ship, ect.) and I’ve had sellers who were great at customer service. Both have had products that ranged from okay to excellent. I end up giving just rating on customer service and comment on the product.
Agreed I've said that before as well would make so much sense. I get the impression there are alot of young people about on this site that would buy anything lol
I don’t know why it isn’t just rated on the high. Lines after lines about the look, the smell, the taste, the terps, the compression, the dank, the cheese....jeez...sometimes I think we hide why we hit this stuff!!
Unfortunately rating is subjective. What i think is nasty pgr weed, you might think its top shelf cali flavour. I guess you just have to take an overview of it all when buying, hope vendors are being honest and draw on your own experiences. I definitely agree 10's are just chucked about and often not a true reflection of the product
yes. I just bought some crap hash and it was overwhelming positive feedback. It doesn't make any sense to me. And I'm currently trying to get it replaced, it's taking too long and I need something to smoke!
ratings are very subjective
but talking about ratings, everyone check out my first review!
but talking about ratings, everyone check out my first review!
Would be nice to have some clarity on how the ratings work for a vendors score. If a vendor sells hundred bags that all turn up but get reviewed badly. Does this effect the vendors overall score, or just the score on that product?
I completely agree about all the tens. And especially the amount of "looks good, not tried it 10/10".
I think a lot of people here are excited for anything to be delivered regardless of quality.

don't make sense. you are not alone because we ALL are and that makes all of this impossible. so there.
anyway i am such a bigga and looking out at irl i'm seeing some awful things around me, people breaking down bad. and they are the only ones i see now everyone else is hiding or wearing masks.
i cant watch sports and the tv is more panicy than the constant sirens or the empowered security guards. they are like elite police now the cops are soldiers and the real soldiers are nowhere to be found yet. i almost want them to come and get the real shit on just to feel something different to watching everyone break down, most of all myself.

Happy Mondays VS Stone Roses
started topic
if it was for a night out on the town (you know it'd spill over into the next day) I'm going Mondays. For albums contributed it has to be Roses. Tbf I love them both
Stone Roses 'I Wanna Be Adored', 'Where Angels Play' and 'Elephant Stone'. Don't make music that even comes remotely close now.
They are both legends. The Stones roses album is probably the most perfect album of its time, with exception maybe being the LA’s album. Happy mondays had some tunes though.
Have a toke while listening to Mondays ‘loose fit’ or rock out to the awesome ‘I am the resurrection’ by the roses.
Gonna have to sit on the fence for this one!

Crazy is such a negative word. I prefer unhinged.
I lost my friends when I spent some time in a mental health unit. Now, at 42 and with high anxiety it's not so easy to make friends. My best mates are my wife and kid.

Hello Slippy. I'm not aware that these are fake and as far as I know they are not. They come from Kush Rush themselves.
If you can without doubt prove they are fake I will accept that and update the description. I can't simply take your word for it over my suppliers, who I know resides in CA.

and what do i even mean by "next" the cunts are doing it already.
if you live in a place where old folks are in charge of the money (everywhere) you already see this. schools don't need to be shut down for their terrifying pools of runny noses they already shut them down to take the money. always need it for more cops in case your kids ride a bike on our empty sidewalks.

Not sure how it works in Britain but in the US education is paid for at the local level. As the boomers became seniors they moved funds away from schools, typically for more police. It's not uncommon for an American suburb to have overcrowded schools and a tank for their police department.

Coin exchange?
Could some sort of coin exchange work here on LB ?
I'm so green to the world of Bitcoin that I personally wouldn't know how to implement it, but that doesn't mean it's impossible.
There are so many new members looking to at how to buy bitcoin and theres a fair few vendors who'd like to sell, I've seen on the bitcoin forum that its possible, the main stumbling block seems to be buyers claiming their money pack through the banks after the transaction and basically scamming people out of bitcoin. But with smaller amounts and maybe an escrow service in place, is it possible ? How could it work ?
Don't worry about shooting this post down in flames, it is just a through away idea

Most places wont let you buy/sell bitcoin without going though the ID etc so I think it would be great if lb members could buy btc from each other instead - although I don't think it would/could work in practical sense on here but if you ever find a way to do it or sell through another bitcoin exchange or just self-sell I would buy from you or any other reputable lb member.
I muck around with crypto a bit. Happy to help anyone struggling with the whole bitcoin experience.
I think it's a good idea because there is a reputation system in place but I wonder how the seller's identity could be protected if they are cashing out into the banking system.
Hey UKG. Your concerns may be better heard if posted somewhere that the community didn't vote to terminate.
I, along with 50 other community members who voted would disagree that it does no harm, hence why it was voted for termination.
No problem.
No problem.
Well, of course you have no problem with it mate, it's designed to silence and remove negative reviews for vendors.
I've got no negative reviews and if I did, they'd be justified as I'd of done something wrong.
It all seems like a witch hunt, vendor or buyer, I'd have no problem with a vendors page.
This thread is about the title, no need to hijack it any further as I don't agree and we have both had our say.

Is Trump Planning a Coup?
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.
+ 4 more
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 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.
Later
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.
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.

This is hugely wrong and reactionary and excuse me, but you’re a fucking dangerous moron and should take to something safer like crochet or silly putty.
whatever point you make is lost to ad hominem attack. don't be hating and youll be easier to hear comrade.

why did god make 420 hitlers birthday?
Because he was stoned DUH
why did god make 420 hitlers birthday?
i'm really there stoned brain juice wise and have figured out most of the universe (turns out quantum gravity is what differentiates the smell of our farts) but i still cant figure THIS out
Sadly it's my birthday too... I mean fuck hitler, being born on 4/20 is the most dope thing i have
Because if he/she/it exists, it certainly has a sense of humour.
Or. If it did all this by accident or fun without seriously considering millions of years of implications/ buttery fly effects then 'it/him/her/consciousness/them' simply didn't care...

I think a couple of people are, according to BCA in another thread. Was that the listing that prompted the change in posting policy?
Have you contacted them?

Next Gen Consoles? Anyone tempted?
Thinking the new Occulus is pretty tempting
+ 2 more
PS5 Digital version for me, no way I'm paying £360 though so I'll be waiting for a sale unless one falls off a lorry or whatever haha
I'm waiting for more next gen games to be released first, Cyberpunk would have been great on next gen but its delayed. No real compelling reason to buy one yet, plus the more time I spend in 420 land there more I'm into retro gaming.
Ah really ? That sucks man. I just built a new pc recently for when cyberpunk launches, been waiting years for it to release so it's a definite day one buy for me.
Yeah I'd have bought the new console if it was bundled with the new Cyberpunk, buying a next gen console to play a last gen game seems mad and they don't have any other day 1 games I care about. Cyber Punk PS4 will update to the PS5 version for free when it comes out so that's a plus. Huge balls up by the developers.
Yeah the day one game releases are pretty lackluster. I'm a dark souls fan so I'd be interested in the remake of Demon Souls that's being released day one but apart from that, meh..
It was similar with the ps4 though, i remember all that was out on day one for ps4 was killzone and it was a few months before anything of note came out.
Yeah they fucked up no doubt but they're one of the best developers out there IMO so allowances can be made. Have you seen "The Invincible" yet ? New game coming from some CD Projekt Red devs under new dev name. Looks pretty cool

I need the xbox series x once it's released! Well..I dont need it, I want it! I'm wanting to see the reviews from other people first though before I take the plunge.
I'm going with Xbox too...
Think I'll get the digital version though and likely spend the difference with yourself :-)

Haha sounds like a plan. I've thought of the digital version but I like having the ability to find little cheap games in the likes of CEX and online :)
yeah man that looks hot - I've had some real issues with motion sickness and VR though, which is a real pain for me as I want in so bad...
Me too but I think most people are able to push through it once the old cortex gets used to it. Breaks and air help a lot.
PC gamer here but always get the next gen consoles for the exlusive games. Tried to preorder PS5 but its already booked out due to limited availability.
Anyone have any idea where you can still preorder ?
Anyone have any idea where you can still preorder ?
Keep trying mate - new stock allocations coming soon. amazon, very, game, smyths - keep trying them all and you'll get one :)
Don't really game anymore, but have you seen how much people are selling there preorder allocation? Saw some one trying to flog there's for nearly £1000 absolute madness
I'm already waiting on shiny new PS5, several titles I wish to play on that one.
No reason to buy an Xbox yet for me - they have no software at the moment that I'm not already able to play :) I'll pick one up and buy xbox gold one day now that EA play is part of it and they've bought Bethusda, I know at least some titles are coming, but not for a while, so I get a chance to save a little cash till they get some games.
I've always bought all consoles and this gen will be no different. I was a games developer for 16 years and I've worked for both MS and Sony (as well as many others) so I've no favourites, and laugh at people who play console wars - its funny to see people sign up to a cause for a multinational that certainly doesn't care about them!
Hope everyone gets what they want!

Almost too many to remember - Dungeon Keeper 2, Theme park world, Battalion Wars, GTA3 Xbox, Premiership All Stars, Juiced 2, loads of little games like Wallace and Gromit and a power puff girls game... all sorts!
Good times, lots of titles that got canned too!

The Vendor Olympics!
Hey Biggaz!
I was having a nose around awhile ago and came across MK2020's new listing and while having a read through the comments I seen one say "I'd love to put my buds to the test against other vendors" and to my amazement both Hootan and B.C.A said challenge accepted :D
I think this is a great thing and vendors who get on well with eachother would make connections and I think the overall product on LB would be better for it. I love trying out the new strains that pop up on here and genuinely enjoy reading what people think about them.
It might be a mad idea but if a few vendors put their names forward and maybe 1 - 3 non-biased Biggaz did the same and were voted in, the vendors could send a gram of their best 1/2 strains (for the price requested of course) and then based off of 3 people's reviews and thoughts on the strains, we could crown a champ for the month?
I think competition is healthy and it would be a cool thing to see in my opinion. Let me know what ye think? Good or bad lol.
And before anybody says it, I am not angling for any type of freebie and I am not nominating myself on the spot lol, I just think it would be cool. Props to all the vendors and users that make this little place so cool!
Peace guys!

Why not you tough? :) I'd be happy to see Grav as a tester if this happens! his reviews never let me down in the past.
Wont lie either I think MKK might have a decent shot at this just based purely on the pics of his bud it always looks so, so good - wonder about the cure though? Defo grabbing some of that og kush next time it's around.

Ah Z, forever the noble soul :D Lol nah I'd be happy to, along with one or two others just in the name of staying fair and all that. If people wanted to throw their name forward and whkever had the top votes could be the judges for this month and rotate or something?
Yeah the buds looked great in all fairness and who doesn't love a bit of OG :P Perhaps it's a mad idea but I was a little bored today and thought it could be cool. It's the vendors have the power really though so if they were down then I'm sure things would fall into place :)

haha it just sounds like a good bit of fun, at the end of the day us buyers, sellers, growers, artisans we're all in this weed game together! be nice to see something like this happen even as a random one off. Stuff like this is the difference between a community and a marketplace, I know which one I'd rather be in ;)
Exactly! At the end of the day people will be paying for the product and it's just for a laugh. I would love to see people's reviews side by side though for the same weed and see who comes out on top. It appeals to the Autistic nature in me lol. And ain't that the truth bud, I have been on multiple markets and have never seen something quite like LB. Though that can be a bad thing too haha
Interesting idea, Gravity!
I wonder how many of the vendors would like to take part. After all, we know some of them to be friends, and a little healthy competition is good for the soul ;)
It would be quite easy to initiate too. 3 nominated Biggaz, 3 nominated strains, 3 custom listings from 3 vendors. Voila!

See this is why women get shit done, you put it out in basic English and it's easy to understand. I was about to suggest raffles and all manner of weird ideas lol.
I'd love to see it happen but I'm not bothered enough to message anybody or organise it lol. If any vendors see this and want to put forward their names then do and that would get the ball rolling I guess lol.
Have a good weekend PF :D

To be fair, I think the weed puts my brain in slow-mo and makes life easier to manage XD but thanks! I will take that as a score for the Women of the world! Happy to represent haha! As for the set up/organisation...yeah, that's up to the vendors to bite the worm! They said they were up for it and you have prodded with suggestion .... another call out into the universe! Crazier things have happened on LB! ;)
I think it does that to everyone, that's why we're all here isn't it :D lol. You should take it as a win, we need someone to represent here on LB haha. I'd imagine this will die off like most things but it's out there now for discussion at least :) And ain't that the truth, LB is a bit of a world unto itself xD
Let's wait and see! I know some vendors are proud of their products, especially those who take the time to grow, themselves! Would be fun to see them side by side, with a view to win!
Super great,but I'd rather every vendor on this site having a mandatory obligation to test their wares and publicise the results.
Cheap testing kits are pretty much useless and quality testing units are prohibitively expensive. Hopefully they will get more affordable but for most smaller vendors it's simply not a realistic option to invest in a reliable unit.
I hope they do come down in price because the unit I linked looks really cool!
No way I can justify spending a grand though. Fingers crossed they'll get cheaper soon.

Yeah that's the problem as you get older, the toys you fancy get FAR more expensive haha. Like most things, the price has to drop eventually :)
Completely agree but to test the THC content properly I'm sure that is an expense and time some vendors just don't want to deal with, but it would be nice to see vendors test their own product. I guess that's what the Weedlympics could be used for lol
That would be amazing but who pays for and verifies it? cost would have to be passed on and there's already a lot of fees pumping prices up on here, although it's not a big outlay really...
Definitely be interested in seeing some independent test results though, wont happen till decrim/legal though I don't think.

Maybe their could be a reduction in vendors site fees and this could pay for the testing
The old financial arguments against testing won't exist for much longer because the technology used in testing is getting significantly cheaper.

Hopefully in the future it's something that can be implemented I think BB made the right point though. I love that there's small sellers and independent growers on here as well as bigger sellers so if it happens I hope it doesn't leave any of them behind :)
Totally, I'm here for the small, independent,artisan grower. I'm in to guys like oilman or ukgrower2 or LuD or British bulldog or the guy with the og kush. Those guys should be the backbone of this place
I suspect THC analysis would help those get on the items list and more importantly sell.

Ruuuude BOI! lol fair play UKCanna for being the first to steo up to the plate.
That's a fair rule I suppose, actual growers vs. actual growers. If we can manage to find one or two more that are up for it then I do believe we have a competition forming ladies and gents!

Good question, here are my thoughts. If 2/3 vendors who grow their own goods want to go against eachother, I can make a post on Cannabis Wall or wherever suits. People can drop their name and nothing else. Whoever gets the most upvotes gets the nod. We can leave it open for a few days or a week and tally the count (tally the count....lol!).
2/3 vendors put up a gram or two of their best 1/2/3 strains and send to the 3 judges. The judges will pay for postage and whatever the bud costs obviously, but a decent price agreed by the vendors should be cool. I don't know like $40/$50 for 2/3g with postage? If vendors wanna do a charity run they can I guess lol.
If these are shit ideas, please do sound off :)

Would love to focus on the cannabis industry and produce gifts and collectibles within it.

How Can the Stock Market Go Up When So Many People Are Unemployed?
What is the best way to short this market?
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.
Heres a thought.....the last person to try to take down the federal reserve...JFK and we all know what happened there

#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?

Weed being legal for recreational use in the UK, when?
I recon 10-15 years it will be legal. Why? Tax money gonna make it rain for the government. What are your predictions??
Maybe even sooner, check the media endorsement, it’s slowly becoming a Media norm and people are more accepting about it
Totally, I love the thought of it he UK being like Amsterdam or various US states. Would be heaven to enjoy without being branded a criminal
Seems like my local police force are putting all of their efforts into busting weed farms. So much coke around at the minute, people getting stabbed, burglary rapes but no. Let's nick people for growing a plant. FFS.
Easy target. Can't wait for it to be legal.
A few months ago I'm laying in bed thinking "woe is me, why can't I get hold of any weed" 4am the police raid next door. It was literally the other side of my bedroom wall and I had no idea. :(

Seems like the agenda... spoiling the youth n all that. it doesn’t fit with Covid-19 though.
pray for legislation
pray for legislation
No need to share. We all know weed will win the race if it was ever given a chance ;) the bars are never full in Amsterdam, unless there is football on :P
By 2023 it will be legal, UK are taking steps daily scientifically seeing the beneficial effects. And totally agree, this is a money spinner for the government tax wise. And with the pandemic they need to kick start the economy and recoup money so I think it will happen sooner rather than later. I posted this a few days ago
One reason to legalise, when there is a significant unemployment rate (what happened in the USA), UK is estimated 4mil unemployment rate cause of Covid - You see all the way the vape shops started creeping up, then CBD came out so the CBD shops creeped out with the vape shops... Now they selling CBD Flower, I wonder how many new jobs legislation would bring considering Vape shops are still in work. just dreamin tho
Your right though mate, the amount of jobs this would create, from warehouse, distribution, shops etc. Etc list goes on really, so many job opportunities with legalisation.
Economically it makes total sense, it would remove street dealers, allowing them to set up legitimately. Whilst reducing police resources who could then deal with more serious issues. Tax would be massive for country and a lot more people would be happier as they don't need to hide in the shadows any more.
The funny thing is, the people who are against legalising it, are the people who never stopped smoking it throughout college and uni. Hasn't done them any harm now has it

Yeah, it would create 10,000s of new jobs in the UK generating income tax. Then you gotta think about the tax from the product itself, licensing costs to sell. Huge money maker for the government.
i think they make hemp flower properly legal first then go from there. Middle England still shit scared about "skunk" despite all the positive evidence outweighing the bad
2 years ago, I said within 5 years. I still stand by it! (Though, probably just uneducated, wishful thinking hahaha)

Ethereum will win the crypto race. It has already really, just people dont quite get that yet.
And yes the seperation is important.

Anyone help me learn to code Python?
Was hoping someone from the Uk whom already knows python or is learning it could advise on the best place or books to learn python, im using codeacademy just now and don't know if i should pay the 20 a month or is it possible to learn it for free or is it worth paying to learn?
Hey, check out LinkedIn learning (you don’t have to get involved in the corporate social media part unless you want to).
The first month is free so it’ll give you time to decide if it’s for you.
As well as thousands of really well put together courses in various programming languages there’s also a load of other courses on things like photoshop, iOS photography, wordpress... it’s great place for getting to grips with some new skills.

I Learned a bit for free just off youtube but tbh with you mate it just got so boring I gave up
I used EdX. It can be hard to get through a course, but it's worth it. I use python quite a bit.

I’ve had mostly a very good experience on this site and any issues have been resolved directly with the seller.
Unfortunately this confidence let me make a purchase with LondonPondScum.
Is there not a holding area for new sellers like eBay where funds are held for 14 days or until delivery confirmed?

Hit up transaxe and got a refund very quick. I was really hopeful for this vendor. Of course saw the price and I was sold!
The guys is a muppet, but that’s why I love the sight. For the most part as soon as someone is REALLY taking the piss then they get called out. LBs has your back!
DO NO HARM! oh yeah and don’t be a douche.

Yeah mate, we are newish sellers ourselves and we have only started getting our money from sales this past week. LittleBiggy holds in escrow for 16 days before releasing the BTC. This gives customers a chance to make a claim should something go wrong/sold shitty bud etc.
Ok cheers. I’ll be patient and wait for their response. Not even a lot of money but really hate being robbed lol
Hi London frog took my money too. Promised me a refund if never arrived and then went on to call me a lier and that it must have arrived. How do I make a complaint to get my money back from escrow? I ordered on 22/06/2020
I raised a dispute on my order. Escrow have just asked my for a bitcoin address so looks like they’re going to send it back :)
That’s transaxe there , just dm the order number , or dispute the order and hit up escrow
The hold is where it counts not from LB but transaxe/escrow. Just hit them up and you will be sorted.
He’s also taken my money too. Tells me it’s gone to the wrong address. Gutting. Promised a refund too. Lol. I’m such a mug
Dispute the order if you still can. Escrow have asked me for a my bitcoin address. Why would they ask if not for a refund? They’re obviously aware of him now so hopefully you should get refunded too
Thanks everyone :) . This is a brilliant little/big community and been the best solution for me in lockdown.
In fact I’ll probably stick with it if things go back to normal. Looks like I’ll get a refund from the joker which I would never get from someone doing a runner somewhere.
Beats long drives to look at something terrible or sitting in Tescos car park for someone who can’t tell the time too.
This resolution has let me “shop” more confidently again :)
The Green Team and DrunsIncUk have been absolutely fantastic.
Premium Extracts have also been brilliant for my friend with epilepsy

I was on Dream Market before LB and they used to hold the funds in escrow until the buyer rated the purchase. Good system.

we need a way to compare shipping policies when browsing so we can compare offers better. this "regular customer" crap is unneeded with little biggy reputations, that's the whole point of this place.
Yes, it's a dumb move, this turns off so many people and the opportunity loss from that way exceeds the claims costs, especially with the escrow system in place.
We are just trying to reduce the potential for abuse of our system and save both parties time dealing with escrow - They are a necessary and appreciated part of LB community but its always easier keeping it party to party.
As we say we will take each matter on a case by case basis, it's not a personal or specific matter but a reflection of our general experiences and understanding of the site from our end.
It doesn't seem to have put off too many people but we can understand how T&C'S might come off with an abrubt or stern tone - just the nature of the format not our intention :)
Stay blessed

Just wondering about orders to Ireland- do a lot of them get intercepted? Have been lucky so far
We've had issues in the recent past - hence our updated T&C's- but we also had a long run of nothing at all.

I wonder is they use sniffer dogs- I know they keep an eye on packages from certain countries eg Holland and India. Has been in the news here that some bigger seizures have come from USA. Also, lately, that since pandemic 'deadly' birthday cake weed has been making its way from UK. Have a friend working for postal service, but not in sorting office- will see what I can find out, cheers. Menu looks great btw, look forward to ordering soon.
Good looking out - we have heard they introduced sniffers at customs recently. Let us know if your mate has any info :)

As everyone said its fake so let's vote this off.
The vendor himself as admitted they are fake packaging so he now knows they are fake, these could be the vapes that has been killing people

Why is it so hard to forgive others?
Yes but they aren't even the demons anymore, the US just really needs enemies to kill or the guns come out at each other.
Why is it so hard to forgive others?
The people of Hiroshima, Dresden, Afghanistan, Vietnam, most of Latin America, the list goes on forever and they have all forgiven the US for official actions that pale next to what a few lunatic terrorists have done. Yet the whole Muslim world including that within the US is hated and attacked endlessly.
Yes but they aren't even the demons anymore, the US just really needs enemies to kill or the guns come out at each other.
Truth. Altho all the borders drawn up by us brits after the second World War somewhat helped in creating those modern day situations
True. Before the Americans Islam endured British Colonization and before that the centuries long Crusades. Yeah they have done a some crazy shit especially at the fringes but the score is a fuckin blowout with the Christians scoring way, way more kills and it's still not enough.
And the basis of Christianity is forgiveness!

I’ve cried every morning this week watching the news. Actually makes me feel abit ashamed to be white! Corruption on top of more fucking corruption the innocent suffer as the rich get richer but they have no soul
White guilt fuck that shit
Skin colour has nothing to do with it, humans get corrupted...there’s evil in every corner but there is also good fighting back regardless of colour.
Humans have a tendency to focus on the differences rather than the similarities...negative over positive...what separates us rather than connects us
Divide and conquer is upon us...don’t be fooled!
ALL LIVES MATTER!

I totally agree but white people have completely unknowingly and threw no fault of their own and of course in my opinion only clearly benefited from black people suffering and discriminated against over the colour of their skin which is of course ridiculous it’s the people at the top who are to blame but it’s everyone needs to stand together equal so they understand. I don’t think a white person has ever had to give up their seat on a bus purely based on skin colour. A lot has changed in the last 20/30 years I don’t agree with people saying it hasn’t and of course ALL lives matter but ALL lives won’t matter till black lives matter. Peace
All lives matter
Colour has nothing to do with it, this is perpetuating the problem by pitting one against the other. This is why we are in this mess to begin with and until people see that things will never change
White people aren't the only ones who have done wrong in terms of benefitting over others. Its a small part of a bigger picture

Well I think if everyone just accepted things will never change slavery would still be a thing... I totally get where your coming from but respectfully have to disagree this has brung all races together to stand as one against the powers that be it’s beautiful to see.. yes All lives matter that’s the point is that black people have not been treated equally Black lives matter. This is their moment I think we should let them have it but you are completely entitled to your opinion no bad blood here :)
Oh you didn’t see those rioters attack that honest female shop owner then uh?
This situation is bringing the worst out in people because of their polarised views and beliefs
You can’t fight fire with fire as they say...fighting, rioting, looting is part of the problem...it’s why there needs to be law and order in the first place
This is bordering pathological hypocrisy
Yes no hard feelings bud, I’m not saying it to you as such or having a go as you sound as your heart is in the right place... I’m just letting it out, venting if you will
People get caught up in the swing of things and become the thing they hate or are that they’re fighting against ya see...only until we can see ourselves

Ye no of course bud I don’t agree with the rioting and looting but 90% of protests are peaceful i in no circumstances condone violence. I’ve just always hated racism my ex was polish I live in a small welsh town and saw first hand how horrendous it can be. I’m white but was porn in South America Peru my godfather is Peruvian. I’m just venting to if there was no difference of opinion the world would be a boring place. I like a good debate :) your hearts clearly in the rite place to its a shame this is something that we still have to contemplate but there we go
Life’s to short
It would be boring without our uniqueness each person can bring but its a shame we all didn’t think the same way when it came to our differences
Live and let live, reach down to those who need a hand up...a rising tide raises all ships

Just don't let this turn itself into "hate yourself for being white", that SHOULD be the complete opposite of the message.
That's racism against white people and a modern revival of the religious need to feel guilty. There's no race/country in the world (at least none on the bigger/more widespread) that hasn't done something horrible and shameful. Please stop all that negativity. White people are not that specially evil. Look around you and you will find great human beings. Stick with them and forget all the media and politicians bullshit

Why this Union actually exists
Why this Union actually exists
What Vikosh is seeking to do is make himself the first point of contact for any seller thinking about vending on Littlbiggy. Very convenient when you happen to sell a "Vendor Buddy Plan" package to such vendors.
As you can see from THIS post by Vikosh, he would like all potential vendors to contact him BEFORE registering an account. Why would they need to do that? You can see Vikosh also kindly provides a sign up link with his reference code. He wants to get referrals. 1% of every sale the vendor will make, in fact. He would also like to promote his "Buddy Plan" to anyone thinking about signing up.
Vikosh, you are attempting to insert yourself as the first point of contact for anyone who wants to sell on this site, and you are doing it in a misleading way, attempting to deceive our community with the purpose of your union. You are making moves to put yourself in a powerful position that shouldn't exist, and the union is another step in that plan.
No one should have to contact you to sign up, and you have not made it clear that isn't the case.
There is a massive conflict of interest here. You are a vendor.
No one should have to worry about their review being attacked by your union.
You are not doing this to benefit the community. You are doing this to earn money and solidify your positon as a consultant to vendors.
The community has raised several serious concerns about the existence of this page, which you have so far ignored. I ask that you respect the community and directly address all the comments.

Hey, I'm new here so my views might not mean much, but I tend to agree with your points. The beauty of lb, at least for me, is being able to order from a vendor with confidence and trust, and I feel this union could hinder that with genuine reviews being removed. I do believe the intentions are good, Vikosh has been an invaluable resource to me as a new user, and I have seen an uptick in mobbing on vendors who seem to have done no wrong - but I just don't think this is the right way..
To add to the specific points you put against him, I can't say your wrong, but if the dude can get some money without being disingenuous, great for him.
Hope I got my little ramble off in a legible way, love this community.

Hey mate, your views are just as valid as mine and every other use to frequent this site, old or new.
I agree with you that if he isn't being disingenuous it's fine, however, one would think he would at least attempt to defend himself against such serious accusations. He has repeatedly refused to respond to the community. I know silence doesn't equal guilt, but how can we assume otherwise if he can't do something as simple as refute the accusations? I have to go with my gut on this one.

Surely if he’s selling buddy plans on here it has to be a conflict of interests. No one person should have that power on here surely. I agree with all that you are saying man

Don't mark the order as 'ordered'. Leave it as 'partially paid'.
Then contact Transaxe support/help. He's good at responding.
Ask him to refund the order.

Looking for a vendor that could do 4.5-9oz per week. It's for a local connect of mine. Any suggestions?

Don't want to hijack the topic, but is there protection in place for the seller here? Thanks
Yes, escrow suisse protects both parties thats essential to how this place works.
Hey Beni,
There are several vendors that sell large quantities.
Radar Breeder (RB)
and
The Green Team (TGT)
It wouldn't hurt to ask other vendors such as: Drugs Inc UK (DIUK) or Gods Connect.
Have a look through this list as well, may some vendors have what you need. Then you can ask them for bigger quantities.
Hope this helps,
V

Neural link on the horizon
Plug me in daddy elon! sooner i can live full time in virtual reality the better.
Elon is genuinely one of those people that I just cannot put my finger on. No denying the man is a genius but half the shit he does (like tanking his stock through tweets or naming his daughter a fucking maths equation) I feel he does on purpose, just because he is bored of the real world.
Maybe we all just live in his simulation and he controls us like Sims? Maybe I'm too high?.....or not high enough.....
Sorry, I'm not sure how I feel about Neural link available to the masses but Elon does make me giggle. The brilliant square-headed little weirdo

Welcome guys. Look forward to checking out the wares. Even tho I am relatively new, I can already tell honesty and integrity in all the regular vendors selling on here.
Let's hope you can offer the same trustworthy service that keeps me coming back to biggy.

Purchased from these guys' previous account and they were outstanding! Will order from this new page soon ! awesome buds and great customer service
My good man may I suggest you place your name in each photograph of cannabis you have here, surely this will mitigate your current circumstance.

BEING RIPPED OFF
Any advice on not to get stung on here? Only been on site for 3 weeks and 2 vendors have already taken my money and gone
Has completely gone the other just doesn’t seem bothered and blames Royal Mail. Is there anything I can do as it’s a lot of money for me with working
On the front line as it is.
Thanks guys

I would say RB is the best for big and small bits and his prices aren't over priced like most . Definitely NDWuk they are well trusted but onley sell in 4g deals most time . JJ and drugs Inc look very good but never tried . Tgt not bad bit over priced on there weed and nextdaydelivery I paid for wasent next day cause they said missed the post .
JJ is a superb vendor offering free NDD atm. Great service with great product. theres other reputable vendors like drugs inc, radar breeder, MJ concentrates, TGT. there are also other great vendors these are just a few off top of my head. dont give up hope RM are just getting it tough with sickness atm.
I have stuck mainly with drugs inc. they have never let me down. I have probably ordered about 8 items over the past 3 months.
I'm sorry to hear that mate, but I'm sure your TGT package will turn up eventually. At the moment NDD from Radarbreeder OR JJ is the way to go like others have said. RB is a pro, JJ was having problems but I thinks it's all sorted and when he's running it's like clockwork. JJ will give you a tracking number so you can follow your parcel and for a new buyer this is invaluable. Also NDD free by 1pm if you order before 12.
Also budzuk https://littlebiggy.org/viewSubject/p/4777107
will give you a tracking number I had a message from him yesterday regarding this service. I haven't checked them out yet, they are a new vendor struggling to get on the items page.

Yeah currently waiting on Jj mate he the only vendor atm keeping me on this site at the moment
Which 2 vendors? I’m waiting for something and the guys page has suddenly changed to ‘access restricted’. Had nothing but good reviews so thought was a safe bet. Might still turn up I guess but no response from him
TGT parcels seem to be taking a while. Got mine after 8 days so that should turn up. Sorry to hear about your wait pal it can be maddening.
Did you try and contact TGT or Ronald? I ordered from TGT three Times to another EU Country and all three times it arrived. But in the current situation not getting Orders most likely has something to do with RM.
Yep messaged them and they said nothing they can do it’s down to Royal Mail. But it seems like there is a few people waiting on tgt
Sorry you’ve had this problem, that sucks! I suggest you stick to the long-term established vendors at the moment. I’m sure there are a few but right now NDD from someone such as RB is the way to go. I got some of the Amnesia Haze with NDD and it arrived the next day without issue
One of them I was told was/is a top vendor mate. I have been looking at the lemon amnesia off rb is that all good is it mate?
Hi mate, try not too worry too much. I'm also new here and my first order took around 8 days to arrive first class. The wait nearly killed me. Royal mail are really busy at the moment.
I've placed two NDD since with RB and they have come through the day after ordering. I've literally just got my order of Lemon Amnesia today, not smoked any yet, just opened and had a look and smell. Looks and smells great!

Hi mate thanks for that. Currently looking at the amnesia lemon so once you have a smoke of it could you tell me what you think of it matey! Happy smoking
Ok so I have cracked, I'm supposed to be doing work until 5 but the amnesia lemon has come out. I'm a vaper, but I can tell you it vapes up a treat in the volcano. Nice lemon smell and good head high, tastes clean and well cured. I reccomend.
Depends what you like though, had Star Dawg, from RB last week, more body stoned and sleepy for me. Lovely smell and diesel taste in the volcano.
Go with NDD. $6 with RB. Bargain
Back to work! Blazed

Cheers matey think I will be putting a order in with him. Thanks very much and don’t work to hard ;)
I’ve not personally had the lemon amnesia but the reviews look good and I’ve never been let down by the bud if got from RB. Looks like there is a review from someone on his page.
All I’m saying is that I’ve never not had a NDD package from RB arrive

How long would a 1ml cart last and how frequently do you use them?
0.5ml lasts me about two weeks at around 7 - 10 hits a day.
But, I also smoke joints, dab all the good shit and inhale edibles like it was my last meal.... I could do with a T break.

hahahahaha hard to go on a T break when you've so much high quality products and loads of time to smoke/eat them!
How long they last is entirely up to how often and how much you use them. 3-4 good sized drags barley makes the liquid move and feels like smoking a joint!
If I didn't have self control I'd be using them constantly, they're amazing for blazing on the go, best stealth option avaliable.

I agree with you hiphopc they are 100% the best for stealth. the flavour selection is always good and the high also! usually 1ml would last me 2 weeks easy but I only use it once or twice a day and then blaze up when I'm home from work. I couldnt recommend them enough
I had 3 0.5ml carts earlier this month and vaped all in 4 days lol think was because i had no bud left. but usually they was lasting me 3-5 days with smoking some bud also.
Been a bad month for me ive had nothing for past 2 1/2 weeks, suppose thats what i get for bulk buying, bought about £350 worth for the month, it lasted me just over 2wks :(

it's too easy to spend money on here..... also just as easy to smoke the lovely products. just think must be near time to order again =)
You'll love it,best cart I've had yet.
When it's finished it's easy to unscrew n take apart so you can get the last few drops to dab or wipe on a skin or whatever.
Enjoy when it comes they hit hard n taste awesome!

Too good to waste that stuff,if I can see it i'm getting it!
If the carts were sealed shut I'd have smashed my way in lol :-D

There will also be a small but by no means insignificant amount on n inside the metal bits which can easily be wiped directly on a skin right after removal.
A fair bit will be gunged up inside the tube that goes from chamber to mouthpiece as well n you can retrieve this by blowing through it to clear.Surprised how much I could still get after I couldn't vape anymore! Waste not want not n all that eh
Enjoy m8

Hi mate - I find a 0.5 lasts me about a week, but also using edibles/oil during this time. Hoping a 1.0 should last around 2 weeks but enjoying so much I can’t actually put it down :D

I paid for 3.5g with NDD, but never arrived yet they had several strains on for few days, but now nothing on items page.https://littlebiggy.org/item/CtQqPJ4w6KwEQaJMfvedNyqc/view/p
Did you message and get response from the vendor?
Overall, it is imperative to check around about a vendor before placing your order: vendors community engagement, review, ratings, number of sales, etc.
Send a message to a vendor and ask questions.
Sometime vendor can have wonderful items and prices, but just communication chemistry might be wrong and thats important. Why? Because even with the most reputable, stocked up vendor things something can go wrong.
There are many variables to each order and, i think, it is better to be on the same page.
I hope you receive your order soon and please keep the community updated.
Your experience (whatever it might be) will help other biggas and vendors.
I see it like that: experience of the vendors and customers is one of the pillars of this community.

picard series?
you'll need a universal translator
It just great, edgy, sexy and sweary- what more could you want. It leaves me wondering how far trek can be pushed. I came across this fan art on Facebook of what if....
i watched the 1st one and was a little bummed so i havent had the gumption for the next one. special effects were shit but im gonna give it another go the story is rarely good in a 1st episode so no comment there
Me too! I hate waiting a week for episodes. Binge watching has ruined me lol! I love Star Trek and Picard was always my favourite Captain, so no doubt I will love this.

Reset your tolerance with Science
After failing miserably to take a hard break, I'm going to try this method and see how I get on. Wondering if any biggas have tried anything similar?
Actually managed to take a month off before, first week was shit but then alright. Don’t think I could do it at the moment but will attempt a 48h before 420 :) cheers
Unless you have a link to a scientific study I'm calling bullshit on this one. Thc attaches to the CB1 receptors and salvia attaches to kappa opioid receptors.
The more you use these receptors the more the body will limit thier availability, so you get less of an effect. Stop the weed for a few weeks and the body turns the receptors back on.

I don't have that, so you may call bullshit - and for all I know it could be. Although I think all he said was taking a 48 hour break from smoking weed will lower your tolerance. I'm not so sure this would be worthy of a scientific study.
I'm just saying smoking salvia doesn't reset your tolerance, the only way to is by not using it for a few weeks. Less may work but remember it stays in your system for quite a long time which is why you can fail a roadside swab more than 48hrs after your last smoke.
Ok theres a “place” that “what we are” exists in and this reality is a manifestation or a projection coming out of it
The physical body is like a gateway to the manifestation, you feel yourself half of you in this reality and the other half connected to this other “place”
Words don’t really do it justice its rather quiet confusing to say the least...if there ever was an analogy it would be the matrix
All my trips have that similar insight
Words cant describe it really

Im with you bro, however I have recognised it through simple meditation, which has now become a constant. Simple in the sense that all that has to be done is stay in our beingness, and to do that nothing has to be done because that is what we all are. What you describe as the other place I have found is everybodies and everythings essential nature. The essence or source of all manifestation. It is absolutely undescribeable because to describe it would limit its infinitude....yet it is beyond infinity also. It is for each and everyone of us to dis/cover and as such it is the greatest blessing to be here in this human form as this is the greatest opppertunity to transcend it all and realise our essential nature. Shanti shanti shanti
Yes its like the place is us or we are it. Exactly part of this one huge thing but individually poking into this existence/dimension to have a this subject experience looking out
You could say i seen this while looking inward
You could say i seen this while looking inward
Yeah inward is about right haha. I feel its also important to recognise that any identity/attachment with manifestation is the root of all suffering. Eg. if you find yourself in a tight spot then check what you're sticking to and remember your true stance in it all. It is called by some enlightenment to completely disentangle from everything...and nothing ;)
I only ever tried salvia once, x10 I believe. My mate gave me a bong and for about 2 minutes I had the worst paranoid anxiety I have ever felt, but was also laughing manically and couldn't stop till it wore off. Oh I also felt like I was really small. Must have been a good 11 years ago now haha
Its has amazing anti-addiction properties that are well documented in ancient cultures but not well studied in the modern day as of yet.
When you get into the higher concentrations it becomes different gravy, ive had some whopper trips.

of all the things I have ever done, salvia cooked me the hardest! Even now, still can't believe we bought it from a shop! was either the 60x or 120x, first bong, my whole world turned into a circus styled nightmare, we did finish the purchase over the course of the week but man, that was a complete other level! Im sure in the right settings amazing mental things could be achieved with it, but I was quite young, and it overwhelmed me like a motherfucker!
Theres a place isnt there lol
Tell you vague story, i was dealing with real serious negative thoughts and salvia smacked it outta the park...i did not expect that!

So much to learn
Well what a journey I've been on since the new year. I knew things had changed in the smoking of the lively weed but I never knew just how much. Many years ago I just smoked resin, usually with me and my friends buying a teenth. But now I hear about all the different strains, edibles and a lot more. It's around 15 years I didnt partake and now it helps me to relax. I'm reading stuff on lb here all the time to try and get my head round what's changed. Can anyone direct me to other overviews for me to absorb? I can read the light hearted stuff and the more intense discussions that spring up.
Anyways I keep reading and learning even when I've no idea what strains or variations people are on about. But it's all pretty cool stuff. My last buy was far too strong , I need to get used to something more mellow to begin with. I've seen images where people just put the plant in a spliff, without to tobacco and I dont know how they smoke it - doesn't that completely blow peoples head off??
I hope you all are not to anxious about the present situation - stay well, stay safe, and big respect to you all whatever your race and creed. Theres going to be one hell of a big party when this is all over.

Not sure how to smoke the plant otherwise though. Tobacco in my opinion completely ruins the purpose of the plant.
But I feel you when you say it can be way too strong. If I had a long break I usually start with a pure joint that lasts me some days, I literally take one toke may be 2-3 times a day. Or buying shake or B grade that is not so potent so that I can continue with my daily tasks. In a week situation changes and I can enjoy a nice pure joint fully.
Anyways, thank you for your kind words and same to you. Be safe brother.

Who's got that sticky icky icky?
Hi LB community,
I've now been buying here for a bit and a lot of the buds are dry, crumbly and airy... I really want some nice resinous buds, those sticky dense ones. Used to get them all the time back in the US.
Got myself an iron, and also want to try doing some pressing.
Anyone got any good recommendations, preferably a sativa, or a sativa dominant hybrid?
Thanks!

I dont quite know how this could/would work yet, but i have a Storz&Bickel Volcano i might be interested in selling or swapping for a Plenty or Mighty due to changing needs. I suppose this would incur the same fees etc as product on here. Might be an interesting page/sub topic to make though. Any thoughts biggaz?

My bad
Clearly didnt think that through enough. Thanks for the feedback though. Of course everything would be cleaned with IPA 99% and packed in the original box. Didnt put refurbished as all Original with very little wear but the quality of these things speaks for itself with Storz&Bickel. Have an aftermarket protective bag, with foam cut out for it too but obviously that gets more wear and tear. Also a few rolls of lower noise bags

Little Biggy killed My friend
my first thought was sweet dreams did it.
Little Biggy killed My friend
Okay, the titles a little dramatc, nobody died lol
So this weekend I had a buddy come around to watch a few films and light up some good bud that I've bought from here.
Now, my friend isn't exactly new to weed, he's had a fair bit aswel as some harder drugs so didn't really even think of mentioning anything about potency.
It was his first go on the Dynavap aswel, so I get the stash out and I'd made a mega shit mix with all the strains I'd bought off the site along with a bit of hash mixed in for good measure, I go first and I'm thinking fuck this is heavy, like holy shit this is FUCKING HEAVVVYY, I burst out laughing and Im nearly fucking falling over lol but it's great and I can manage it, there's no such thing as too high is there lol. I remember saying to him it'll take about 10 mins too kick in but you'll be alright.
Well.
Fuck.
No he wasn't.
Not in the fucking slightest.
He started off alright and we were both laughing at the usual fuckery, then it became obvious he was absolutely tripping his nuts off, his skin goes white as Casper the fucked up ghost and he just gets worse and worse.
I'm now grounded and freaked out by his reaction, jeez it killed my buzz hard, I've never had a whitey so don't really get what happens, I assumed it was blood sugar/pressure crashing so offered him a drink but he's like not even in the room anymore, he can't look at anything other than the bottom of a bucket, so he goes to bed in the spare room and doesn't wake up for 15 hours. He's literally come around too go to sleep.
Next day he's back in the world of the living and says "fuck ever having that mix again" lol next time I think I'll start him out on something a little less mind altering lol
It was a mix of
Strawberry Haze
Birthday cake kush
Forbidden zskittles
Honey cream
Stardawg
Biker OG
Banana hash
NYC diesel
And Grape Ape
It hit like a train!

I’ve got my own little saves mix going on... deffo not as good as yours but I’m working on it, that’s a sick looking mix man, no wonder he was on his ass!
Haha sounds like he might have went to the void... that is an evil looking concoction man.
evil clickbait but what an interesting concoction ive always wondered about blending weed it sure works with wine
Ive hit a few whiteys, def not a nice place to be. Would’ve brought you right back down fo sure trying to reassure your buddy
Aww man it didn't look fun at all lol and yeah me and the Mrs grounded pretty hard lol I always have a massive can of red bull straight after smoking it's like a anti whiteout system for me lol, instant rise and buffer for blood sugars, probably the reason I've never had one!
Ha ha...ah poor dude, happens though, not caught a whitey in over 30 years but man they are rough ha ha...
How do you keep all your buds fresh P?
I have been using little 1g 62% bovedas in small jars (7g and below) but it seems to me making them a little too moist?... my buds don't seem to go as far as they look like they will in the grinder...

Yo shed, yeah man I've never had one but it looked scary as fuck haha. I keep them in jars, sealed with foil before the lid goes on, store it in a dark fully carbon lined stash bag with a few silica sachets underneath it all, keep it in the least moisture retaining room and keeps very well I've found!
Noooiiicce!! Ha... lovely little bag there man, some lovely looking orangey buds, yummy... ah, yeah, will see how I go - I had a batch of something the other week that was on the verge of too dry and was smoking a bit hot and rough but a night with a boveda calmed it down but then I popped one in with my Biker OG when it came with intentions of trying to drag it out as long as pos but it seemed to make it a bit too moist and it didn't grind brilliantly...ended up throwing shitloads in each doob and smashing it in a few days...fuck...lol
That biker OG is nice man, I love the dynavap for the reason it saves a lot of herb wastage, it's crazy how hard a little 0.1g bowl can hit from the dynavap. TGT's grape Ape really fucks me up for some reason, it's not the greatest tasting but really does a number on you haha, but yeah lesson learned anyway don't give out the mega mix haha
Yeah man, you and Epix have got me checking them out...I seriously need to reduce the amount that gets blazes but I don't want to be less high ha... been looking and there is lots of different ones though, think I will start with the cheapest and see how I get on with it... fancy getting a bit more of a taste of the weed, with the real tasty buds I end up lobbing the shit in to get a proper tasty j..
Yeah we're both sounding like sales reps for them at the moment, but hard not to give praise on a decent product and good service. Chronusbuds is decent aswel for the price he's got some lovely stuff really, top bloke to deal with aswel!
You'll be surprised with the dynavap mate, there's a bit of learning curve with it, mainly how you heat it but when you master it it's really crazy how hard it hits you lol

carts: does cream rise to the top?
it seems the first hits from a cartridge are better than the rest. I'm sure there's lots of psychological and biological stuff on my end but it even tastes quite different.
likewise the end of a cartridge is shit. it seems the residue chemicals burn last I don't have the fragrance of the stuff in the beginning.

Rub some Gold on it (clean wedding ring). This helps and brings it out faster. You have to fold your eyelid down and make gold contact the stye, rub it on a few times this will itch but be much better in a day or so.

Toilets of the world
i wish i could set goals like that you must have a great mentor
Most decimated toilet I’ve ever seen, was at a rave and still to this day, I’m not sure how they managed to achieve the Rembrandt of shit, it was unbelievable shit everywhere in this cubicle, I didn’t know if I should be filled with adulation or fear.
I'm gonna go with the Delhi train station, the toilets in the trains are just big holes down to the tracks and not every spice-stinked shit finds a final resting in the countryside.
Some seek opportunity in the towering, urine polished piles of the big city. A stunning skyline is revealed whenever a train leaves the station.

It seems you haven't had a rating in years AND your ratings suck. This is ludicrous because I found you guys fucking outstanding.
