How is Nationalism Any Different from Racism?
I don't want to give preference to someone the same color as me so why should I prefer someone for being born in the same country as me (or worse they are ordained a citizen by some twat)?
Basically it derives from the same origins. There are certain laws of ethnic relations in history of humankind, such as:
1. law of percentage: lets say a black person somewhere in gothenburg or copenhagen would trigger an amused curiosity and the outpouring of sincere sympathy, however, if you "inject" immigrant workers up to the fateful threshold of 4-8 percent and you will already have a racial situation - the nature of social relationships changes, engendering ethnic tensions, global reflexes painful to describe. The more the percentage increases, the more class struggle transforms itself into racial confrontation. Basically, this percentage is sufficient to make racial discrimination appear spontaneously in people who previously believed itself wholesome and devoid of any racist sentiment.
2. The law of assimilability: If majority and the minority belong to the same large ethnic group (all are white, or all a asian), then assimilation occurs progressively. For example, Spanish or Portuguese workers despised in France not so long ago, integrated themselves into population within the space of one generation; same for descendants of corsicans and the poles during napoleonic era, same for bambara minority living in senegal. But if the ethnic and cultural gap is too big, tensions are exacerbated with time. Like African Blacks and Arabs find themselves in this situation in Europe. Coexistance basically becomes possible only in a truly Socialist state or a state that has adopted a high morality philosophy.
3. the law of distance: like two ethnic groups that are not fighting over the same living space or same market and occupy different territories separated by space can enter into normal relationships. Like that an alliance can be explained during world war 2 between hitlers germany and japan. or relationship of pretoria with israel state.
4. the law of phenotype: basically physical appearance. It would matter little tgat botha and zulu in africa have the same genotype (same genes in the chromosomes) and it would have no influence on their daily lives because their external features are so different.
Laws of class struggle according to history applies only to societies previously made homogeneous by violence. Funny, that the most modern nations actually went through this bestial struggles before (Americas, australia, new zealand, good part of asia, greenland, huge part of pacific, scandinavia, etc, etc).For example Blacks of Americas were brough over to work the land, while the indigenous races were being destroyed. So, the "more advanced" barbarious conquerors exterminated/drove out whole populations, devastated or abandoned productive forces they they simply did not know how to use. This specific law is one of my favourite... how spartan domination ended by crumbling particularly because of the great numeric weakness of their REAL citizens. Because their society consisting of spartan conquerors and lowly helots both belonged to the same large white-skinned 'race', ethnic differences became blurred and it allowed class differences appeared only in an economic sense.
Same goes for Rome and Carthage, Rwanda-Burundi, Francs and Gallo-Romans.
Have a look at the american immigration laws and how it progressed throghout 19-20 centuries. This law also gave birth to so called intra-european racism, etc.
We forget that the passage from a clan to a monolingual tribe and to ethnic group and to nationality historically was a result, a consequences of clans exogamy. It is still widely discussed by specialists. But it marked starting point of the current civilization.
Endogamy was prohibited and we, humans, just started fucking people from the outside kkk several neibourhing clans contracted marriage ties that led them eventually to speak same languages despite that their original idioms were different.
The number of clans to gather together to work a more or less powerful tribe didnt follow any rules and depended mostly on the fertility and extent of the lands occupied by the group. Thus was born nationality.
In the course of history, when two groups of people argued over a vital economic space, the slightest ethnic difference can be magnified, temporarily serving as a pretext for social and political cleavage: differences in physical appearances, colour of your passport, language, religions, morals and customs.
We forget that basically future generations must forget about the dead so that the conquering people can undergo a rebirth with an angelic consience.
Why do we almost idolise, for example, conquistadors, holy crusaders and vikings? Pillagers, rapists, murderers and worse.
Most of the things we learn and follow, most of the times, blindly, things we consider as truths and solid facts, the very foundation of our personal universes - it was predominantly build based on someones ideologies.
Books, that our kids and us read, are also written under certain circumstances, conditions, requirements, with certain motivations. Dictated by an ideology.
Sooo.... sorry for the massive message. It just questions like this trigger something inside me, something that i consciously try to understand and overcome. For before we are races or nationalities, boys or girls, gays or straight, we are humans.
Peace yo.

Interesting points. I just came across this forum and will make a contribution. Meanwhile, on the topic of Scottish Nationalism, I have myself proposed Independence For England! We English (whatever that means through consensus) vote in a referendum to dissolve the union of England and Scotland. Never mind what they want, how about what we want, which may be to separate from them, along with the subject nation of Wales. We'll have our own oven ready breakfast and our own national covid death toll, while we surrender the last shreds of our integrity to the fucking Yanks and the fucking Chinese whose government leaders wouldn't make the groove as a couple of Pox Doctor's clerks.
Please dont have the idea that all Scots want independence
. Plenty are and always will be happy to be part of the union. There is more at play than just Scottish Independence, certain elements see Scottish independence as a means to help another cause. Understand that Independence of Scotland is not the endgame for a lot of SNP supporters.

The whole SNP "independence" thing is a facade.
The SNP want to leave our union and join the EU club because they'll give them more money than Westminster does.
They still want to be financially "dependent", just a more generous sugar daddy.
I'm talking about the SNP, not all Scots :)

High Raskolnikov. Your post showed as a comment on mine so You're addressing me, then. I have no intention of stating anything about what Scots want. My point is that I consider an English Independence Referendum is incumbent on ourselves to determine our Englishness without the input of the other three nations. Devolution, revolution, phooey! We want ablution. Wash our hands of the lot of you. Do we? Who does? Has anyone got this underway? Sturgeon and Salmond? Something fishy about those two!
Interesting points Vikosh. I feel that England is a pretty tribal place.
Being born and growing up in the North, spending the last 2 decades in the South, and finally relocating back to the North of England, i’d say there are even considerable cultural and economic differences between different areas of this country.
There was a political movement that started a few years ago, that seems to now be on the back burner, for northern independence. While this is a lofty pursuit, and i’m unsure how successful it might be if implemented, I think it suggests that certain areas of our country define themselves not on a national footing but a regional one.
Personally I consider myself English and Irish, rather than British, but more crucially, being Northern trumps ‘Englishness’ for me…. race doesn’t come into it for me. Social class plays a large factor too.
I’d take a working class community in the North populated with English South Asians, Roma, and West African people over a predominantly white, middle class community in rural Hampshire- this is down to personal experience and unscientific, just my preference having lived in both places.
Great topic!

I wouldn’t blame the English people if they started to see things this way but we are still all better as a union and I think you know this. Sturgeon and Salmond are just typical politicians mate who lying is a big part of the job description. There has been a huge change in Scotland in my lifetime where the working class vote has moved away from labour to the snp. Labour has shot themselves in the foot so many times but also the snp politics has changed. I have been on this earth a long time and the snp have changed so much. Sturgeon is still using her bloody daily briefing up here to try to indoctrinate the nation. I’m going to stop here as I am ranting.
Not English, then. To be born an Englishman is to win first prize in the lottery of life. That life being the infliction of Imperialism on 25% of the world's population. Nothing wrong with that, was there?
Sturgeon's manifesto was just a wish list, impossible to accomplish. I don't want Scotland to leave. We may rib each other on things but I'd like to think we have each others back when things get tough. We live on the same island. Crazy to break up.
I am British not Scottish or Welsh or Irish or English but British.
So the idea of England going on its own is kind of laughable.
I prefer this great country as one nation,I have lived all over UK so I class myself as British. Ever since devolved countries we had loads of petty arguments enough of the arguments and do there jobs.
The Scottish independence route will end up like n ireland scottish people are divided straight down the middle so can see issues battle grounds comes to mind bombings etc etc just like n ireland AND its not going to happen anyway thank god.:D
Or you english going be invaded of all the people that do not want there countries independent lol.
Plus the Queen will never allow it to happen she is still the most powerful lady in this country and can override any laws in the UK set by government it is in the small print when she signed it over to the government. She has her palaces all over the UK.
She wants to send to her son to America to answer for the crimes he is guilty as fk otherwise he would have gone over and answered there questions on very serious sex crimes.
Guilty as fk he is by dodging the request of the FBI and CIA law to himself hiding behind mummy he is.
I am British loud and proud !!!

I’m British and Scottish mate. Think it is possible to be both. I’m not interested in Independence and believe it will not happen and will be a disaster if it does. In Scotland Salmond courted a certain block vote and got it. That is what has got the snp to where they are. That and shortbread tin thinking. They will soon want to let over 14 s vote. As I said in another post, Scottish Independence is not the endgame for a lot of snp.
It was a joke mate but fuck, Vietnam. Is that what you are comparing Scottish Independence to?
Scotland's nationalist party don't want to exclude races, they want independence from another countries rule. It's not about racism.
lol. ok, i'll bite...
nationalism is a term for those with common interests as citizens of the same country working together for mutual benefit and/or pride.
racism is a hatred of one or more person/s where skin colour is the basis used for the defining attribute.
neither is mandatory last I heard.

a lot of nationalists aren't so much racists as exclusionary. they believe in a social contact that only exists amongst members. outsiders are not part of the deal.
Just like you would naturally have a preference for feeding your own family in your own home, before you concerned yourself with feeding anyone else.
This would not mean you hated other people, or didn't wish the best for them.
I think Nationalism is often confused with extreme Right wing ideologies, when it could be Left or Right really.

Yes you could look into the SNPs distant past or alternatively you could look at what the Tories are doing right now as we speak under your very nose.
It is funny how a conversation about nationalism is related to the SNP when anyone with eyes can see that British nationalism is the one being pushed everywhere in Britain.
The SNP didn't spend 2 million quid on a set of blue curtains and two Union Jacks and it is not the SNP who are plastering everything with the Butcher's apron either!

Proper kettle of fish this one! but I couldn’t resist throwing my 2 cents in.
Racism is an inherent belief that one group are superior to another based purely on membership to said group; that for example being white would mean that you are superior to non-whites by virtue of your whiteness. Although this is of course the most common example, it’s important to remember that racism has been perpetrated by, and against, a multitude of groups such as the current situation in China with Uighur Muslims and so on.
Nationalism is the identification with ones nation and the desire to see that nation succeed. often, but not exclusively, to the detriment of other nations.
One can be a nationalist but not a racist, but I would argue that it’s quite rare to meet a racist who is not also a nationalist.
I don’t think nationalism is always a bad thing - we saw for example at the onset of COVID-19 in Europe a large degree of nationalism as all of these countries that are part of the Schengen Agreement suddenly conveniently ignored the treaty in order to shut their borders and protect their citizens (uselessly, as it turned out) against the spread of C19.
However, nationalist sentiment needs to be controlled carefully because the downside to it could be seen, you could argue, In the Capitol siege/riots on January 6th as nationalist fervour tends to spread and morph very rapidly and almost always ends in violence and almost always ends in Fascism
Sorry for the wall of text but this is such a fascinating topic!

Because we can change our nationality as it’s make believe. You cannot change your DNA which is real
Not synonymous, but it's an interesting point.
In some sense, I think it is an individual and academic choice to be patriotic (even that is turned into a dirty word now), root for your country or be proud of it voxally. It's OK to like your country if you really do. You do live there after all. It's just a country. Other countries are not minorities in their own country as the British are not here.
As you allude to, it is a lottery, not a skill, being British (or Irish for that matter). There is little merit to being "proud" I agree. But it doesn't oppress anyone or anything in itself. It is a way to preserving culture and way of life. You can't pick who you think should be able to do that.
Otherwise, the takeaway is, only the oppressed are allowed to be proud of anything and preserve culture. What kind of world is that?
I do think that no matter what, being proud of your race is pointless, stupid and divisive.
It suggests a nexus between a superiority or exceptionality and racial group.
After all, skin colour is decided only by a few alleles in the genome and indicates very little about one's charachter.

Racism is necessarily exclusionary. But Nationalism isn't.
In general I am wary of nationalism, but there are times when it has achieved positives.

I think it is oxytocin that causes the problems as it creates aggressive in-grouping, be it from the innateness from skin colour or the innateness from where someone was born.
There was a study I linked to but there is more out there about the dark side of oxytocin. There was quite a few articles in the dumber section of media about giving men oxytocin to fix their aggression problems when in fact it might be a major factor in causing them.

Nationalism has more positive range for example promoting culture. Racism is usually associated with negative feelings about other races.
They both seem doomed if you ask me.

only in touchy feely places like the uk ... not in most other countrys ... too much self hatred in this country ...
It's crazy how little of any of you understand what is going on.
THought stoners were supposed to be the ones who questioned narratives??
If we want to help these people who want to come to the west for a better life, we need to get the banking cartel off their backs, stop certain lunatics causing wars and improve their OWN nations.
That is truly the only way we will ever BRING ALL OF THESE PEOPLE OUT OF POVERTY. Although the amount of people we let into our countries is high compared to our populations, the amount of people living on under $2 a day is 700 million! The whole of Europe is 700 million people, we would have to double our population to solve world poverty, it simply is not possible. We can never solve the problem in this way.
The ones we let immigrate (legal migration) are the brightest, most educated ones... What do you think that does to their home country?
We skim the cream for all the prospects, decreasing the likelihood of the nation ever prospering.
The diversity thing is so ironically racist it is insane, if we all mix together into brown people, where is the diversity then?
There would be no diversity left if we mix together.
REAL diversity is like a flower bed, you have the tulips, the roses, the daffodils, this and that, they all live in the same flower bed, but they are separated, distinct different flowers with different strengths and weaknesses.
When you go to a country on holiday, take Japan for example, you go there and it's great to enjoy a different way of life, a different culture, different scenery, different people. If we all mixed together there would be no other cultures to enjoy.
There would be only one culture under one Globalist world government.
"The man of the future will be of mixed race. Today's races and classes[a] will gradually disappear owing to the vanishing of space, time, and prejudice. The Eurasian-Negroid race of the future, similar in its appearance to the Ancient Egyptians, will replace the diversity of peoples with a diversity of individuals." quote from the pioneer of European Unification, Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi.

There seem to be a prevailing perspective of an individualistic view on what racism is, i.e. the hatred or superiority of another race, nation, or ethnicity, however this view is overly simplistic as racism is structural and systemic and is only dependent on the individual when their actions are supported by the larger system.
One can be xenophobic, discriminatory and/or prejudiced against others from other places without it being racism if they are not the dominant race/ethnicity/or culture.
Racism = power + prejudice. That is the current understanding and definition of racism in social sciences and some dictionaries (as with Merriam Webster, which was updated two or three years ago). That is not to say that racial prejudice or discrimination is allowable or tolerable. It's not. However to quantify both types of prejudice (the one that is solely individual and the one that is supported by systemic structures) as the same thing or equivalent is false.
One is an individual opinion and has no greater repurcussions than that person's world's or actions, the other however plays into a wider narrative of oppression that reinforces the structural oppression and contributes to and reinforces societal and structural discrimination.
Nationalism is different in several ways.
Firstly, pride in ones nation does not mean an inherent prejudice or discrimination against those that come from other nations (although all too often it does manifest in such a way).
Secondly, if those expressing nationalist sentiment are not the dominant authority over said nation, then it is not racism but discrimination and prejudice as they lack the power to manifest that discrimination through institutions or on a structural scale. This type of nationalism often manifests as a resistance to colonial and imperial forces. In those cases the nationalism is not being the of an ideological superiority or innate belief in the dominance of one nation over another, but rather a resistance to such.
Therefore nationalism and racism only become the same when said nation propogates their dominance and superiority over others while simultaneously systemically oppressing other nations or supporting existing structural oppression and prejudice.

I'm a nationalist. I want England and all our major cities to be English and not resemble Bangladesh. That makes one a racist nowadays.
If the reason you give for those cities resembling Bangladesh is people of other races, that's kinda the definition of racism. If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's probably a closet racist.
Asian for Asians
Africa for Africans
But if you tell him Europe for Europeans you are a racist
Has nothing to do with racism, people like to be around people who look like them, share the same culture and values, morals and ethics, this goes for all ethnicity's
True anti-racism isn't letting a tiny portion of these people into the country, it's helping them build their own nations into places they don't need to leave to better their lives in the first place, so they can ALL LIVE WELL
get the banking cartels out of africa, get the oil oligarchy out of the middle east, stop Israel causing carnage and displacing millions [impossible mode]
"The man of the future will be of mixed race. Today's races and classes[a] will gradually disappear owing to the vanishing of space, time, and prejudice.

Asian people aren't claiming "Asia for asians"
Plenty of white people move to Asia and the Asians don't complain.
African people aren't claiming "Africa for Africans"
Plenty of white people move to Africa and Africans don't complain.
European people invaded and colonised both of those continents, killing local people and stealing their resources.
Oh but when those people want to come to Europe, its "Europe for Europeans"
What you mean is "white countries for white people"
You just don't want to say it.
Again, fucking racist.

tell me an Asian nation where whites make up more than 5%?
I think the Asians who got independence definitely do say Asia for Asians
Oh yes white people live so peacefully in Africa! look at Zimbabwe, Rhodesia, South Africa, all places where whites have recently been massacred for living in Africa, they dont complain though right? imbecile
you are a pathetic brainwashed cuck, you literally think calling someone a racist is the worst thing in the world hahahahahahah
am i racist for only wanting whites and east asians (the highest iq and the people responsible for 90% of modern inventions) to live in my country? absolutely not but through their NGO's George Soros and his cronies have managed to brainwash whites like you into thinking they are the only ones who cant be nationalist, proud of their nations and so fourth, they HAVE to mix with other races with inferior intelligence
in our society we dont believe in collective punishment so who gives a fuck who colonised who? none of us colonised fucking anyone, not one of us alive today played any part in that you moron, we were colonised and enslaved, are we going to ask the ottomans for reparations now?
fucking cuck, bet you work a deskjob, no girlfriend or if you do have one she's a fat blue haired liberal object, obviously you have no kids or you'd care more about the country you live in
we dont care if 1% of these people come to the country as seen in Asian countries, but when it's 20% and they grow every year due to their birth rates being 4 per capita vs our 1-2 per capita, there is literally no way out of the fact that we will be replaced, the british genetics will seize to exist if this goes on
there will be no whites, just mixed mongrols with sub 90 iq like yourself that are smart enough to work for their masters but not smart enough to stand up for themselves
Did you know 30% of the Muslim world is imbred and these are the people we are importing? furthermore 60% of Pakistanis are married to their first cousin. this what you want to import and mix with? fucking neanderthal
it's impossible to fix world poverty by importing everyone in poverty to Europe, we'd have to more than double our population so instead of acting like a liberal cuck how about you advocate for the big banks to get off these countries dicks and stop the big noses from causing havoc all across the middle east
you wont do that because you dont actually want to see these people do well, you just want to take in a small percentage of them to the country so you are deemed not racist hahahaha

english is a race mate just like indian im english if i move to india im not an indian ? same thing should apply in the uk
No, being English is not a race it's an ethnicity and nationality. You thick slab of gammon

Something to celebrate on its own merit. So sad that instead of celebration this just unleashes hate in people, that's exactly how cunts like Trump win.
Nice!!! Strange for a psychopath to pardon someone who hates him and everything he stands for. But Ross Ulbricht (or Ulbright as the pea brain spells it) free is a good thing!! Yay!!
Scary that the Libertarians have such a hold on Trump behind the scenes they can get a law and order anti drug president to release a man who actively hates him.
Scary that people we don't know and didn't elect can get the president to do something he is ideologically against.
I think it's so that Trump can argue the justice department is broken so that he can shut it down.

Bit weird cheering on someone who hired hitmen to murder his partners, just because you dig he sold drugs.
Bonus pardons are openly for sale now.

Exactly right
He’s pardoned him as he clearly needs him on his Elon musk team for their world domination plans
He also pardoned everyone who stormed the white house violently
So in America you can be a thug as long as your team trump - great message oh and you can all buy weapons to
But
Women
Foreign
Gay or different in anyway run and hide
He’s released his own crypto and is now using his position to make billions
It’s still blows my mind in one of the biggest countries in the world Biden was the strongest replacement????
It’s almost like trump knew he had to go and hired Biden to keep his seat warm till he was back
They have given Farage massive amounts of money too
As a race I think humans are going backwards and the mismanagement of our countries is turning us against each other - bullying - racism- homophobia and discrimination are being made acceptable in certain circumstances/narratives
Meanwhile megalomaniacs billionaires are literally plotting how to build the world and the moral compass they want and I seriously doubt we’re going to like the results

Just diving in because it's a music thread and I'm crazy about music. That said I love all kinds from blues to classical, from jazz to opera, and of course hard rock, synth, pop, soul and everything else - apart from rap. The one music genre that does absolutely nothing for me. Bought the 12" of "The Message" by Grandmaster Flash when it was released and still have it. And that's pretty much where it started and then ended for me...apart from the Fugees doing "Killing Me Softly", but that's all about Lauryn Hill, which is another story.
I'd like to add edubble
Idk if anyone knows of him but he was a absolutely great rapper. Shit always added a kick to my step
Sadly passed away from cancer a good few years ago now. Rest in peace 🙏

Was canabis mentioned in the bible
I have read in many places where people claim that canabis was an ingredient used in the anointing oil in the old testament temple .
They claim that the Hebrew word Kaneh Bosem used to be translated as canabis but is now translated as calamus or sweet cane.
I have not yet seen an English version of the bible that translates it as canabis .
Could this be fake news or is there truth to it ?

I always remember an old boy originally from Yorkshire I worked with a few years ago. He told me a story about the time he went to court for cannabis charges and quoted the bible in his defence.
Gen. 1 Verses 29 to 30
[29] And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

I’ll tell u what. Life would be a simpler place if one off the commandments was “Thou shall not pass to the right” 😆
Moses inhaled the fumes from the burning bush then spoke to God...
Sounds like a DMT trip, probably wouldve had a little smoke on the way down!

They've found traces of THC in the lungs of ancient Egyptian mummys so they did have access to Cannabis in that region.
really interesting, looking it up the pharaohs had some cocaine as well
You’d have to pretty baked to come up with that fairy story in the first place...which is a more believable scenario than it being ‘written’ by a bunch of illiterate nomadic peasants wandering around the desert thousands of years ago. So, ‘god’ doesn’t care about whether u get high, or not, because he/she/they?😂 don’t exist
Hi Philjgrove, it's an interesting theory and would be enjoyable if it's true, but I think it's controversial, of course the conservative Christians wouldn't go with this. I know there is a book on the subject "Cannabis: Lost Sacrament of the Ancient World" by Chris Bennet, also a couple of episodes of podcast "Great moments in weed history" on this subject :-)
Scripture doesn't condemn cannabis but it doesn't condone smoking or being habitually inebriated (your body is a temple, kingdom of heaven not to be inherited by the drunk) but it depends on whether you interpret 'drunk' as relating only to alcohol or having it be a more general term for not being sober. I don't live by the bible but I personally believe God doesn't make mistakes and wouldn't put it here if he didn't want us to use it.
My religious mate says the big guy gave us it so the clever amongst us would forget we live on a rock being dragged through space by a massive nuclear explosion lol
Genesis 1:11
King James Version
And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed
King James Version
And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed
not really related to the actual bible, but more the religion as a whole, i read the book The Immortality Key which talks about psychoactive usage in Christianity... I'm pretty sure he mentioned them finding traces of cannabis in archaeological finds. It's very interesting. I think recent research found cannabis on an old Christian alter too.
Exodus 30:23-25
"Take the finest spices: of liquid myrrh 500 shekels, and of sweet-smelling cinnamon half as much, that is, 250, and 250 of aromatic cane [kaneh-bosm], and 500 of cassia, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, and a hin of olive oil. And you shall make of these a sacred anointing oil blended as by the perfumer; it shall be a holy anointing oil."
Some scholars suggest that "kaneh-bosm" refers to cannabis. If true, this sacred oil, used in anointing rituals, could have had psychoactive or healing properties, deepening spiritual experiences.

"He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth; and wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man’s heart."
This verse celebrates the bounty of the earth, including herbs that serve humanity. It highlights the idea that natural substances can bring joy and nourishment, perhaps reflecting a spiritual purpose for psychoactive plants.

The Story of the Chinese Farmer
"The whole process of nature is an integrated process of immense complexity, and it’s really impossible to tell whether anything that happens in it is good or bad - because you never know what will be the consequence of the misfortune; or, you never know what will be the consequences of good fortune." ~ Alan Watts
Is there good or bad or is that just a concept we interpret the way we do due to religious mumbo jumbo ...
do you think its not possible to declare things as good or bad? do we need to bring up examples?
I didn't take the story as literally as saying that everything is all good or all bad, more like it's a possible lesson on how perspective can change the way we frame events. A lesson that could be useful for us to consider sometimes in our own lives.
We think we are conditioned to perceive things as good and bad and a large majority is influenced by religion
I don't think you need religion to consider say the murder of a child to be evil, it's our instinct, hard wired for survival.
I’ve heard this told several times by ram dass too and love his particular telling. It’s a great tale 🙏🏻

You can token gate it on an NFT, there are tons of platforms for this. Paragraph is a good one.
That is absolutely brilliant!!!!! Here's my guess to the competition hahaha I couldn't find the right quiz so thought id say it here I guess madone
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.

Just review your favourite vendor on trustpilot with your link to their page. Use the share button on the top of the page.
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?

Are the vapes on here safe?
why did the bigga cross the road?
Yeah, the majority are safe, just make sure you’re buying from a trustworthy vendor, buy from one with high reviews.
I forget the name of the account, but there is one that purchases products and conducts purity tests, and publishes the results.
Wish i could remember the name so you can check for the legit vapes.
Any other biggas recall who did these kinds of testing?

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

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

Libertarian in the Rothbard sense is a relatively new thing and American. For hundred years or so prior elsewhere it meant anarchist or agrarianism. It's still very much in use in that vein.
Conservative Libertarians in the US are also linked to dominionists like the Mercer family and the hard right theories of Patrick Buchanan
I think although this might be well versed, it fails to notice the significant distinction between deontological and consequentialist libertarianism.
That is the crux of the matter full stop as far as the lassez faiyre way goes.

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

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

My first order with free money!
Just wanna shout out to transaxe for this, I'm looking at a nice ounce of pollen that was entirely paid for by sharing links to topics and items on LB. Cheers TX!
Congratulations. I am so happy for you.
In fact, being a father with a big gang of little mischiefs, having constant budget shortages, your message inspired me to try and generate some free money, purely for the purpose of ordering my medication without taking any money from the family budget.
So far, i have made 5USD kkk but i was busy only for a week or so.
My mantra is: patience, young padawan kkk

Wouldn’t recommend this, you will actually lose money on electricity costs unless your in a country with extremely cheap electric. You can find calculators online relating to this.

basically mate you've got your own individual link when you share it an people make purchases though your link you get a small percentage of purchase, ive just looked at mine and 10 purchases have been made through mine!
oh wow that's awesome mate. btw how can you check the earnings? all i can see is my transaxe token that says ACTIVE in the end.
Visit Transaxe website, you can do this via Settings > Payment processor > Transaxe.com > Log in > once logged in you will see your referrals on that screen.
If you've never accessed the Transaxe website before then you'll obviously need to register first. You'll then be able to link your account to Transaxe, and this is where you will see all of your successful referrals.

How did you get your referral money, mine just keeps on saying pending, I click where it says get your 1st payment but just sends me here.
Do you want to mention the token posted, tell people not to do this, and maybe get this deleted expeditiously due to being admin...?

what's left libertarianism?

if anyone can parse this bs on wikipedia id love to see it
I find today’s liberal left to be very authoritarian in nature. They use all the kind fluffy buzz words but ram it down your throat with a hot poker.
B.s confirmed. The libertarian/authoritarian is a different axis from the left/right paradigm. The left/right axis doesn't really matter anymore. Classic liberalism much more akin to Conservative values.
The more relevant terms when talking of the laissez-faire ideas are whether you are a consequentialist, or deontological libertarian I.e: do consequences matter or is it the rules that matter?

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

it makes sense: private property for what we create, public property for what's already sitting on the planet.

Bitpanda now asks for Wallet Host and Recipient Name for making BTC wallet payments... Any ideas?
My wallet does the same. I made an order the other day and just put details in unrelated to the vendor, and used the option for other wallet and payment went through fine. I think alot of exchanges are just doing it to comply with the policies from 2023. Just add a fake name and other for wallet host.
I selected sending to myself on coin base like someone else did but it’s on pending for 1 hour and status unpaid here LB. When I go to pay it states paid and waiting. Any ideas?
I use revolut, which now does the same thing. I always pick Electrum for the recipient's wallet type, and it goes through fine ^^
Coinbase are doing this too, there was an option to tick tho which asks if you are sending to yourself, I ticked this and my payment went through
Bittylicious now ask where (or to whom) the transfer is going, 4 options. one is to your own wallet, i click that one! no issues

What to do if I’ve bought a clearly fake product.
Ordered from well reviewed vendor but it’s clearly spice/mixed liquid is there anything I can do or have I just lost
As I said below really unsure what it is but there is literally nothing I can do about it but post it and I can’t name and shame without someone at biggy themselves looking at this helping me
Hi Jxssemm 👍. Sorry to hear about this 😕. Firstly. Many people on here use distillate carts/ live resin. Liquids. From trusted well reviewed Vendors ( including myself) . Have you any proof the contents contain spice? 🤔. Also if you suspect this. Its fair to point out which vendor you suspect. For other buyers to be aware of this also.
as I said to him I have no idea if it’s spice or not but I know it’s delta9 or any type of distillate. He also sells rso carts and by the colour of the liquid I can already tell it’s not them so I’m not sure what it is. All I want to know is does the site refund for issues like this
Mmm 🤔 I think you need to message the vendor you received it from. And find out what the contents are? There's no point in speculating. I'm sure if they are a well respected vendor, they Will be upfront and honest with you.
Are you a site moderator or know how to contact any? Even if I wanted my money back the situation is really complex as the seller has sent another parcel which he was willing to let me keep so if I send these back surely he doesn’t have to refund me?
Yeah I’m so confused I’ve been given an address it’s most likely a friend or r something but I’m sceptical now you’ve said that

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

INITIATIVE : CURRENCY / PRICING
if sellers dont lower their prices then then the pound would need to fall even further for this to have any effect whatsoever .
INITIATIVE : CURRENCY / PRICING
'neutral' description of the initiative = The immediate need for a more stable / suitable currency and or pricing system!
So it's been a couple of weeks and still nothing has really happened as far as coming up with a solution to bring some stability in the pricing for the buyers and vendors, and now that the dollar to pound conversion rate has very very quickly hit it's worst rate on record, and it's clearly showing no signs of slowing down, what are we going to do about this?
My solution, which has been backed up by so many of the sites users that i've lost count, would be the obvious
>CHANGE THE SITES CURRENCY FROM DOLLARS $, TO STERLING £<
$60 is as near as makes no difference, £60 now (£55.26), once you factor in fees for buying btc etc! this is absolute insanity, i'm now unable to afford the order i planned for today due to literal overnight changes in conversion rates
$60 right now is £55.26
$60 a year ago today was £43.20
this is HUGE
I've explained this way too many times in the past couple weeks, but the only reason we are experiencing all the negatives of this is because we are still (for no actual given reason) using Dollars, instead of Sterling as the sites currency!
at the very least, 90% of the buyers on here are within the UK, and all have Sterling in our bank accounts, not Dollars
Dollars and Sterling are neck and neck when it comes to stability in the worlds market, claiming the use of Dollars for stability reasons on here is disingenuous
and how are vendors expected to be sat at their computer 24/7 constantly adjusting their prices on hundreds of listed items just to make it fair for buyers, when all this could be solved with a simple currency change?
$60 right now is £55.26
$60 a year ago today was £43.20
this is INSANE biggas, and it has NOTHING to do with inflation in the context of this website and market
£60 a year ago is £60 today.
one final thing i would like to add biggas that a lot of you probably wouldn't have even seen at the time, or joined long after, but about 2 years ago, before we had initiatives, i was very outspoken about the fact that the BTC prices on here used to be only set in 5 digits, for example 0.0050BTC, and with the instability of BTC, this lead to us never being able to actually pay the correct amount for our orders (0.0057464BTC < how prices look now) often having to pay way more than the order is worth because we didn't have the correct amount of decimal places, this was hugely frustrating and it was costing everyone a fortune, and after making topic after topic screaming at the top of my lungs about how much we need extra decimal places and then out of nowhere with no explanation we were finally given this much needed change when LB went under it's overhaul a couple years back! i wanted to end on that, for the biggas that thought that i'm just bitching, i'm not, i poured so much energy into those topics to benefit all of us, the amount of money that we have all saved since the decimal place change would have surpassed the hundreds of thousands of £ quite some time ago, just like the change i'm asking for now, it's going to save so many people so much money at a time when we coudn't possibly need it more.
Peace.

i know it's not, but that's not how inflation works on here as i've already explained and so have others, you're misunderstanding the point, that's not how this site works, as other people have already stated, this kind of inflation isn't relevant within the context of this site and buying weed
a £60 listing a month ago is a £60 listing today
a $60 listing a month ago would be about £48 then, and £55 today
^this is unnecessary inflation and instability
if we were using sterling this whole time then prices wouldn't have been changed by much at all

FOR - Despite the complete collapse of the £ it is still the most stable currency to use because 95% of buyers and sellers are in UK and the £ is the currency we use. This means that a listing of £100 will always be £100 today, tomorrow, next week if its still listed at £100 then you will still pay £100 - this is stability. A $100 listing is £76 then £78 then £82 then £86 then £90 now it's £95even though its still listed unchanged at $100 - that is instability.
Sellers don't want to adjust their prices every day depending on international markets that have no baring on their business.

my whole point is to try and bring more stability for everyone as quickly as possible, and thinking of a way forward is the only way

FOR - preferably stable coin, then theirs no issues with payment release dates of 16days for vendors who are then stuck in huge currency fluctuations and this year alone has seen at least 3 occasions of the escrows halving in value within that 16 day period.
It does not make sense, not with the pressures of staying stealth and not being caught by the bizzes we now have to have a degree in economics just to make sure have enough to pay our supplier's in 2 weeks for the reload or have enough money for fuel etc.
The world is at a financial knife edge and if this does not get sorted some poor vendors going to be getting a hiding or 2 from some pissed off supplier who wants their money the plain facts.

100% behind this initiative but sadly I think the site owners don't care. They posted last week about prioritising things behind the scenes. I've not once seen a feature the community has asked for implemented here. I get the feeling the site is run part time by a small group. I know of other marketplaces that have even the most basic of features... dated posts, search features, pages that don't take minutes to load if they have more than 200 topics on them. I can get over the dated posts and loading times but I can't get over the prices. The other place I buy from has lots of flower variety (shit for carts and edibles etc) but flower has always been £37.50 for eighths and doesn't change. It think the LB staff maybe reached the limit of their abilities. Simple functions that any other online marketplace in the world has, the LB staff don't to have the knowledge/time/tools to implement.

regardless of this exercise the sellers need to lower their rates. they need to do this now (right now please if you are a seller reading this)
Vendors are not a charity we are here to try and make a profit. The prices are at the lowest points that I have ever seen on LB.
Can I ask you a question Mr Allmonde can I ask that you take a wage cut in your job, please?
And also at the same time pay more for your fuel and food and all the other crap.

sure that's a good question that illustrates the fallacy of this initiative.
if i were being paid in dollars i would be making more pounds right now - just like you are.
if we change it to pounds today i'm still making the same amount anyway right?
you with me sir?
so in order for anything to change and for me to stop capturing the difference - like you are right now - i would have to lower my wage.

Correct if you are buying in dollars and paying for shipping in dollars but what I see beneath my feet is UK soil so no.
So unless you are not physically living here and working here no because every shop I go into still asks me for pounds when I shop.
It's really that simple Mr Allmonde.
The only way it works is if you buy from America and even then you still pay everything else shipping etc in pounds.

it doesn't matter if you are buying from swahili or if lb changes to shkels my friend, you will have to lower your prices to get lower prices to your customers.
can you see this?
can you see this?
Our prices are around 20% less across the board more or less from this time last year when things were even cheaper than they are now.
The risk reward ratio Mr Allmond is very low atm for vendors.
We are not in control of the currency markets and what happens in 2 wks after we have paid shipping and sent the item and we see the prices fall even lower and our money is still not being paid out are you going to send money to vendors when they go broke??

prices haven't been adjust once since months ago when you could buy a dollar for 73pence
switching to sterling would save the majority of the sites users quite a bit more than a cent... i would actually be able to afford to buy the same things i bought on here last week for example
you dont seem to undertstand people do not set their prices daily based on conversion rates here, so buyers are always losing money, not only that it will / has already reached a point where people can't afford to order because of the exchange rate, and then vendors won't be making any money at all if people can't afford to order

you don't actually have to change your prices though if this goes through
example
your mcflurry, 7g, $80, been the same price for about a month, but for us a buyer, that costs us £10 more for the same order of $80 than it did a month ago
now lets say we had sterling as the sites currency a month ago
your 7g of mcflurry would have been listed at £68 a month ago, dollar rates would be irrelevant and a month later your same listing would still be £68 instead of the £75 it costs now
so what's actually happening here is buyers are the charity here, a lot of us are here to buy a specific amount of medicine each week / month and lots of us are being fucked out of that because of a conversion rate, eventually vendors are going to end up with a lot less money if people can't afford to order because of a conversion rate

Yes agreed the customer needs a better option.
If a vendor does not sell for a few weeks its better than not selling and taking a loss which has happened quite alot this year with the markets crashing.
If we knew 100% that you pay £68 and we receive that amount minus the Biggy fees there would be no issues as we are sheltered from factors outside of our control, but unfortunately that's not the case vendors are walking a tightrope, which is very perilous.
I have woken up 3 times in the last 12 months to have seen over $25k evaporate to around $9k even though I am working my bollocks off I still have lost.
Sometimes I question what is the point but it comes back to the buzz and the thrill I suppose otherwise it could be percevied as madness lol

if sellers dont lower their prices then then the pound would need to fall even further for this to have any effect whatsoever .
Hesh alot of vendors from earlier in the year have already been wiped out and alot that have been trading for the last 12months are just about keeping there heads above water after the btc price dropped 3 times in value, just take a step back and have a think about what i have just said.
The price of BTC is likely to drop further over the coming months so what you are asking is for vendors to do is commit financial suicide.
Its not up to the vendors its up to the admin on here to sort this out.

the inherent instability of BTC is something we've all been dealing with and there's nothing we can do about that unfortunately
but achieving more stable prices for buyers is the opposite of financial suicide, it's incredibly beneficial for vendors to have more stable pricing with sterling instead of dollars, i'm down so much money this month because of overpaying for this conversion rate to the point i've had to go round this morning asking vendors if they can do me a custom order because i can no longer afford the fixed prices on their menus
in my original post i said it was up to the admins to sort this out but we never hear from them, and since then i've had vendors saying it's up to vendors to sort this out?
at the end of the day WE need to sort this out as a community immediately and that's why i started this initiative, even though it's probably putting a target on my back for some people, this should all be about working towards a greater good! as currently the way things are going, nobody will be buying on here as others have already stated they are buying / looking elsewhere because of this

Yes I agree with all the borrowing that the UK government keeps doing it will only weaken.
When all those people where calling for a lockdown this is the price that we pay.
For all those people who where PAYE and were getting 80% of their wages for sitting on there backsides for months at a time, this is the cost of that.
Just think when you go on holiday now the same applies. Do you think Maria from the beach resort in Spain will be giving you more sangria because our pound is fucked ?
We need to accept that we all need to work harder to make the same money as this time last year it's that simple it won't be getting better it will be getting worse very sorry to say it how it is but that's the bare bones of the matter.
We asked for it we got it, this country is fucked.

Opened up my account to loads of notifications and upvotes on this thread which you still have my full support on but but worried peeps are voting on a year old thread, is this null and void at this point ? I know both buyers and sellers are being shafted with fees again or still do we need to start again or will the recent activity count ?

I think someone mentioned that this topic was open so i tried to revive it and also started a new one.
It has been noted but the issue is the dev work that needs to be done is a fairly big job that from what I am gathering hasn’t got much incentive.
I also know blockhead have announced they are setting up an alternative recently.
Sorry for all the notifications though!🙈

100% for. we need more options especially somthing faster with less congestion and fees.
Why isn't the GBP&USD price linked to the BTC price?
Altough, tbh, as vendors we should be price checking ourselves and our competition regularly anyway. Or, our customers would give us a nudge I'm sure.
At the same time, the best addition to this site would be both the currency prices, and the ability to settle funds, both customer>vendor and vendor>customer direct on the site.
The current 16 day escrow is laughable and a potential exit scam waiting to happen... the option for the customer to finalize on delivery hurts no-one

for newer biggas that are unsure of the context of some of the replies in this topic, it was created over a year ago when not only did we still have the same problem of literally being robbed by fees, but we also had the problem of every single dollar costing 92p, rather than the 81p it is now which made every single order considerably more expensive for absolutely no reason other than the site being set to the wrong currency for it's customer base
over a year later, all these votes, and we still have all the same problems apart from those same problems essentially being worse than they were a year ago due to cost of living crisis etc,
all these problems could and should have been solved over a year ago
the outcome of resolving these problems means everyone has more money to buy more weed and everyone wins in every possible way

This is a link to devvy borg. There's a bounty on there for 1800 dollars to complete a page that will allow vendors to specify a currency. It's under react/js post.
It has a screenshot of the possibility. Looks good if it can be completed

For me Dilla, Doom and Guru are the most important, Biggie may be the best, 2pac the most polarizing. Shock G & Trugoy were heartbreakers...
Sean P, ODB, Phife, Prodigy, Bushwick, Biz, Darkman X, Gift Of Gab, CPO, too many man
Sean P, ODB, Phife, Prodigy, Bushwick, Biz, Darkman X, Gift Of Gab, CPO, too many man
Solid list but I’d put Pac above Biggy. East vs West and preference aside, lyrically-speaking, I think 2pac is notch above Big.
tupac had the charisma of a rock star and gravitas of a rebel leader. a great story teller but not as great as mr wallace i think and puffys beats are more consistent than the work of tupac's producers.
Yeah. And anything that Puffy “produced” was made by someone else. Don’t get me wrong, puff daddy was a producer but only in the sense he brought the ingredients together... the ingredients being MCs and producers. The majority of stuff that came out on BadBoy records was produced by The Hitmen (featuring legendary producer Easy Mo Bee) of which he did head up but as more of an organiser than anything else.
Easy Mo Bee is a bad motherfucker and I don't think many realise his scope over the years, Always give daps to anyone that brings him up

Gotta love the one douchebag (Itche) who downvotes but adds absolutely nothing to the discussion. If you’re going to downvote (a comment of personal opinion of all things), at least add to the discussion by posting your own opinion why you disagree.
I don't think downvoting a post when you're too busy to reply makes you a douchebag. Ease up a bit man, a downvote is hardly a slap in the chops now is it? Spark an L and chill.
As for reasoning it's quite simple. Biggie is respected far more widely as a lyricist than Pac. That doesn't mean you can't enjoy Tupac more than Biggie or anyone else for that matter. Music is subjective and what appeals to one person may not to another. That's the beauty of it!
I find the list above massively lacking anyway and it blows my mind that Pac and Biggie get almost singled out as the greatest dead rappers. As Nowherematt mentions bellow there's not even a mention of MF DOOM at all or....
Big Pun, Prodigy, Phife, GURU (?!), Sean Price, Dilla, Heavy D, Adam Yauch.
The influence the guys above had on hip hop is absolutely insane.
Yours sincerely

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.
I was raised catholic and this is seriously the best joke I’ve read on this site lmao
Mass murder; centuries of child abuse, financial manipulation of countries and its peoples, stifling science for centuries, masses of lies and corruption, manipulating the world, controlling the weak minded, instilling a ridiculous morality onto its followers that only incites hatred and misery
The catholic churuch is just the greatest group of criminals to ever exist

You forgot to include wealthiest, if the Roman Catholic Church realised all it's assets then they could probably eradicate world poverty in a year
All Abrahamic religions are backwards and immoral, imo.
Christian god Genocided the whole planet to prove a point, and the Muslim Prophet, well, look up the age of Aisha when he married her.
We no longer need religion, its just a tool to distract and divide people.

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

All versions of Christianity ignore some parts of the bible because it's not popular. The Bible says not to wear two different types of fabric at once, and to sell your daughter to her rapist, but no Christians are abiding by that. They are all as bad as each other, to pretend like she's calling out hypocrisy by changing from one hateful religion to another is so deceitful, another part of the reason she is scum.
Dunno if you ever saw her debating with Stephen Fry and I think Chris Hitchins or possibly Jordan Peterson at Oxford? Between them they gave her the best fucking she's ever had
laugh all you like but the basic philosophy of jesus is love and that is exactly what the world needs.
Yet his loudest followers scream at women at abortion clinics, promote violence towards gay people and basically act like 15th century bigots with torches
Doesn’t sound very loving to me, sounds more like a relationship with Ike Turner
Jesus spoke beautiful words but they’ve been twisted and manipulated to spread hate not love by the loudest “believers” as evidenced in every evil act done in the name of Jesus or Christianity
I’m gonna stick to worshipping the truest deity known to man- our lady and saviour MARY JANE 🤣

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.

If I were a smart man I’d have worded my reply this well haha
Love use of such modern issues caused by the church, generally people seem to think the evil they’ve done is centuries ago, but there’s so much in modern history; in living memory that prevents catholism from ever being objectively “good”

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??

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.

Thanks , great change 👍
Does this include any referrals you already have, or only new ones?
Is there any chance the referral percent can be looked at too? 1% seems on the very low end compared to the 'norm' for referal links. 2%+ seems more appropriate, what do you think?
"The global average referral rate is about 2.35%.
If you already have product-market fit, happy customers, and a steady stream of customers from your existing acquisition channels, you can expect to increase your sales by about 2% minimum."
I believe on average Amazon pays around 5% for affiliate links.
Currently for every $10,000 we personally bring to LB, we only get $100.

Oh and YES the forever goes forward and backwards in time! This applies to all existing reference codes. Sorry we should have mentioned this.
Transaxe averages around 10% fees to sellers, amazon all in is closer to 30% (not including what they charge buyers for prime) so margins are a little different around these parts.
BUT many serious referrers with high volume have tokens as high as 5% (basically splitting with transaxe 50/50).
If you are not there yet but have some publishing or creative cred (social or any other media) or even a good plan just contact us and we will help you develop a business out of this. Multi language publishing is also especially valuable to the program.

What do you class as high volume? That sounds great, I'll drop you a message. Cheers.

if you are making more than 2 or 3 referrals a day we can bump you to 2% right away.
Great news, nice development.
I must have over 20 very small referrals that have been unpaid for years, I'm not to worried because it is a great scheme but i just wondered what happens to a build up of tiny transactions that have been ignored by the blockchain ?

Fear is America's best selling product
True all to this but how do you think this is different from country to country.
Fear is America's best selling product
Lewis Lapham is right on. If we can just recognize fear and understand it instead of judging we can fix this.
And it's marketed in very sophisticated ways through social media. This article explains how it works.
I agree. There is individual fear, and collective fear. Individuals in America have stressful lives and poor parenting for the majority. Individual fears that hold people back include fear of death, fear of failure, fear of inadequacy (not being good enough). Mass fear includes fear of authority, fear of pandemics, fear of being taken over as a country. Fear can be dealt with by acknowledging and facing the fear with nonresistance. Still, fears are often not recognized because they are not on a conscious level. I do believe that meditation, psychedelic therapy, and transpersonal therapy can uncover subconscious fears and be released from their power.
State-sponsered fear is not unique to the US. Capitalism and communism both generate fear, but in the US, where capitalism has run amok, it is more subtle. US citizens tend to believe that they live in a democracy, yet there has been no progress in the 1 percenters sharing resources with the middle class and poor. Individuals have less rights to express their views because the powers at be that transcend political parties control the agenda of the media and the government. Through TV and other newspapers, citizens are programmed to live their lives in a controlled state of mind. The most pertinent of issues do not make the headlines. I could elaborate more, but just note that societal fear is a response to the denigration of individual rights, where the average citizen thinks that nothing they do or say will be acknowledged or change anything.

Inheritance tax should be abolished?

Inheritance tax should be abolished?
How did we let the government impose an inheritance con tax, on our loved ones already taxed belongings.
It's as if they don't already tax everything we buy or do, but to re tax a dead person's belongings after they've paid tax all their life is morally wrong, where's the ethic in that?..
It's as if they don't already tax everything we buy or do, but to re tax a dead person's belongings after they've paid tax all their life is morally wrong, where's the ethic in that?..
I feel that inheritance tax is a good thing, however, it should not go to the treasury, but instead to the local authority. In this way it benefits the community they were a part of, rather than a meaningless black hole of untraceable generic funding, that is as likely to be spent on Boris Johnsons security guards as it is something actually worthwhile. I feel the same about funds of closed companies automatically going to the treasury. It should be used locally where they need the money.
You would increase inequality between areas in this way. Kensington and Chelsea would pick up millions Sunderland much less. Over the years the effect would be disastrous if the sums were large.
Nope. The most recent HMRC statistics show less than 4% of estates paid inheritance tax in 2020–21. This will probably rise to over 7% by 2032–33. Only the most wealthy estates pay it.
the most wealthy estates do not pay, they have trusts, declarations of agriculture or business.
that's why a third of the fucking country is in the hands of "nobility".
that's why a third of the fucking country is in the hands of "nobility".
Because if you don't the entire wealth of the country would be in the hands of a tiny group of people living on inherited wealth and enjoying the benefits of rent and compound interest. I will lose a reasonable sum to inheritance tax on my death and although it's annoying I also recognise that it's unavoidable if we are going to have a society with any degree of equity or hope for 95% of people. Compound interest over 100s of years creates massive fortunes often in terms of land and property these are finite resources. You can also gift huge amounts to your children before you die, if you get rid ten years before you pop your clogs IHT doesn't get it.
people say this and they wont pay much after deductions. like how much money do you have? I bet its not enough to warrant the complaint. but in other news, why dont you complain about what they spend the money on? a healthy tax base and actually interesting spending is great, you build pretty great place to live that way. Instead its gazilllions in civil service wages for them to do nonsense tasks for 60 years. or NHS spending that allows people with a bent toe to get sattelite laser surgery costing 5trillion. shit like that, complain about spending not tax.
Does it not bother you that your inheritance has already been taxed by the person it belonged to, then again once inherited by that same government?..
It's total unacceptable, morally and ethically wrong on many levels..
I couldn't care if they want to spend however much on certain things, what I do care about is getting scammed by the government by taking a double stab at you with your inheritance.
Look at pensions now, working all your life paying stamp for pensions. Once you retire and you start claiming it, you get taxed again?
Can someone else surely see the wrong doing by here?..
If someone dies they want you to pay tax, if you get paid they want you to pay tax, even when you bloody eat you pay taxes, good job there isn't a sleeping tax aswel ffs

what shit. as someone already said: less than 4% of estates paid inheritance tax in 2020–21. This will probably rise to over 7% by 2032–33. Only the most wealthy estates pay it.
This is what the vast majority of wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few. We should tax inheritance at 80% over a few million quid, that'd fix the fucking schools. Or do you prefer toffs to have a better bottle of wine then schools that don't leak when it rains?

I'd prefer not to have my money stolen in the 1st place than beseeching to a plutocracy to get a little back.
and those roads you walk on, and the parks and schools? Who pays for those if not us? Calling taxation stolen money makes you sound like a MAGA lunatic.
Feel free to go live in the forest in some third world country if you don't want to pay tax to make a better world for all. Oh, you've not done that? why ever not?

in those countries you apparently despise the worst narco terrorists dribble out these same trinkets. yet they don't come close to the kill rate. governments are by far the largest murderers on the planet and taxes (effectively collected at gunpoint) are what pay for it. this has been consistent throughout history.
but hell yes id be happy to pay for parks, recreation and lots of things short of murder and plutonic corruption.
but hell yes id be happy to pay for parks, recreation and lots of things short of murder and plutonic corruption.
The infrastructure of the country is what has allowed an individual to accumulate the wealth. If someone is so greedy that they think it is preposterous to pay inheritance tax they are free to live elsewhere. The problem of the ultra-wealthy finding ways around paying any taxes at all is another issue of course. And yes the country is still mired in feudalism hence the landed gentry still being around and anachronisms such as hereditary peers sitting in the house of lords.
Free to live elsewhere?
Governments claim ownership of you at birth (many insist you pay taxes even if you don't live in them). And no, there is no freedom to enter any country let alone reside in them.

A person should have the right to pass on their hard won earnings to their family .
The death tax is anti family .
We'll get this abolished when we take our country back from the deep state over the next few years . I'm quite optimistic that we might get our freedom back soon .

Philip K Dick believed we were in a simulation
The great novelist thought his Man in the High Castle was an actual alternate reality.
It would explain the instantaneous communication between quantum entangled photons. Instead of "spooky action at a distance", the "system" or "field" is simultaneously exciting two parts of its occupied space. The photons do not communicate at all and therefore preserve the physical speed limit of the universe.
Imagine an older first person shooter game. Bullets had no travel time or drop to take into account. The moment the trigger was pulled, the enemy player was instantly hit. But here, the two players aren't communicating information, but the system is taking account of all space at all time and calculating to adjust everything on it's next tick, rendering the enemy player "shot".
The bullet's information never has to travel faster than light in order for its effect to be accounted for by the whole system. Just one tick, or one unit of Planck time, is all that is required for adjustment to be calculated.
A pinch of salt required but interesting thought, I think.

My friends none of this is real, there is no such thing as you or I. It’s a beautiful so called reality but we have not even the slightest idea of what reality even is.
Simulation theory, also known as the simulation hypothesis, suggests that our reality is a computer-generated simulation created by a highly advanced civilization. The premise of the theory holds that our perception of reality could be an artificial construct that is indistinguishable from a physical reality. This hypothesis is based on the assumption that a future civilization with advanced technological capabilities could create simulations of reality, with virtual beings that have consciousness and believe that their simulated world is real. In short, simulation theory proposes that what we perceive as "reality" is actually a virtual reality created by an advanced technological civilization.
I’ve been fascinated by this theory for decades 💯❤️

Yes and the best part is the odds. If it's possible to "simulate" a universe like this then it's possible to make a zillion copies. If that's the case think of the odds that we are in a simulated universe versus an "organic" one.
Philip K. Dick did a lot of drugs.
But he did say a passage from Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said preceded an event that became reality. The man at the petrol station for those that read it.
The Empathy Box from Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep resembles the internet in some ways. And as for the Nazis winning the war, well...

But seriously, he also thought he was Jesus.

Thinking your Jesus is pretty common in career speed freaks like Dick.
P.S. The above is an observation not criticism.of Dick whom I totally dig.

I just have to say 'Time Out of Joint' is the best scifi novel of all time and also highlights these thoughts perfectly.
I saw him talking about this on another vid, the Bladerunner universe was the same place i think and there were lots of orientals in the facist USA as the Japanese and Germans shared the spoils after the war with the germans taking the east coast and the japanese the west...who knows? there are loads of weird glitches which 'prove' we are in a sim...YT is full of these theories, and as they all seem to say, the chances of us being in the one original out of thousands of sims is very slim...good link mate.

Cheers Ike been interesting playing around with that . might end up putting it on a raspberry pi & let it play in the background
I’ve had tinnitus for about ten years now, was a nightmare at first but after a while you won’t hear it as much you just get used to it. Rain and white noise apps really help, have it on every night now or in the background whilst I’m working. Apparently there is an operation they can do on your ear to try and fix it but was told it was more likely to do further damage.
I’m not sure, I smoke most nights so that may be contributing to it. When I first got it, it was horrible for about a week but then settled down, I barely notice it now but I do need to use sound apps.
Definitely agree with ike, white noise or I found rain sounds just as good when trying to sleep. you might have to have it on a bit louder than you think but you’ll find your level. Good luck
Visit your GP. They'll refer to ENT. There's not much of a rush with it though unless it's like a heartbeat in your ear along with tinnitus which is what they call Pulsating tinnitus. If it unilateral they refer to ENT too. Could be due to wax build up or if you've been to any concerts recently etc. I find pink noise works for me.

House committee passes licensing bill for naturopathic doctors in Missouri
A bill that would allow naturopathic doctors to become licensed in Missouri passed its first hurdle Wednesday.
The House Professional Registration and Licensing Committee voted 7-2 to advance the bill, sponsored by Republican Rep. Doug Richey of Excelsior Springs.
Unlike Kansas and 22 other states, Missouri does not have licensing or registration laws for naturopathic doctors, or primary care physicians with a focus on holistic care.
“As we continue to talk about the need for more access to healthcare in both rural as well as metro contexts, this is an area of medicine that is known to be effective,” Richey told The Independent in February. “There are other states that have formally recognized it as such.”
In states where the practice of naturopathic medicine is regulated, doctors are required to graduate from accredited four-year residential naturopathic medical programs and pass a postdoctoral board examination in order to receive a license or registration.
Richey’s bill was amended Wednesday to clarify that naturopathic doctors would only perform minor office procedures, similar to a primary care physician. And they would not be allowed to perform surgeries or prescribe opioids.
A Senate bill, sponsored by Republican Sen. Nick Schroer of Defiance, has not yet received a public hearing.
The veterans service organization, AMVETS, sent a letter to Gov. Michael Parson on March 8 urging his support for the bill. Diana Johnson, director of AMVETS in Missouri, said licensed naturopathic doctors are a “vital addition” to the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs’ Whole Health program to provide veterans more holistic care.
“Until we are able to license these doctors within Missouri, the veterans of our great state will continue to suffer from chronic pain and other ailments,” Johnson said, “without the full benefits of naturopathic care and the opportunity to be included in the ‘Whole Health’ program established by the V.A.”
Dr. Emily Hudson, president of the Missouri Society of Naturopathic Physicians, estimates there are currently a dozen or more naturopathic doctors working in Missouri who could be licensed under the proposed legislation’s prerequisites. And many more would return to Missouri if the bill passes.
Hudson called the committee’s approval a “significant milestone” towards offering Missouri residents access to licensed naturopathic doctors and being able to “incorporate safe, effective and naturally focused treatments” into veterans’ healthcare.
“This victory marks a collective effort towards providing comprehensive care,” Hudson said, “and honoring the well-being of those who have served our nation.”

best sci-fi world on xbox?
i love cities of the future, spacecraft, you name it. whats out there?
No Man's Sky is actually pretty fun despite the failed launch. No cities but infinite planets to explore and creatures to look at. Great to play while blazed.
Elite dangerous is also not to bad. Starfield next yeah looks amazing so keep your eye out for that
It had bad reviews and issues when it first released. But Night City in Cyberpunk is a beautiful Sci-Fi city with lots of things to explore
I cam here to say this. Specifically, the first one - in terms world building and lore, it is an A-class game.
Watch Dogs Legion has a very cool London if you dont't mind your future on the dystopic side.
I just started playing the Dead Space remake.. It's doesn't have much world exploring going on (it's all based in an abandoned space station) but the zero gravity moments, and exploring the spooky ship is giving me original 'Alien' movie vibes. So good!
Mass Effect Legendary edition is possibly one of the best Sci Fi expanses in gaming history. Also one of the few games that can actually pull at your heart strings and gives choices that you feel the outcome depending on which way you went.
2nd best Sci Fi game by far on Xbox is Stellaris, steep learning curve but an insanely satisfying game.
On pc I've put over a thousand hours into Stellaris, customisation of your 'Race' has hundreds of possibilities.
Along with hundreds of Random events in each play through, making each go unique.
Finally give Xcom 2 and it's DLCs a go, awesome gameplay, very futuristic.
You can customise your Soldiers to look like anyone, friend of mine made himself then the rest of the squad the A-Team 😂

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

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

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
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.
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". 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.

Heavy Cannabis Use Linked to High Risk of Head, Neck Cancers
Most likely from smoking not edibles according to the study.
Jesus. This has hit me really hard. I’ve been smoking weed for 30 years. 11 weeks ago I had a huge (tennis ball sized) lump pop out of my neck. Dr diagnosed me as having an infection of the parotid gland (saliva gland). Antibiotics for a week, lump hung around for a month.
Had an ultrasound scan 3 weeks ago, turns out it’s a tumour 😞 Stopped smoking that day. 30 years crashed down on me during that one 15 min appointment.
Was immediately put in the NHS suspect cancer 2 week pathway. Had an FNA (biopsy) and an MRI scan 2 weeks ago. Here I am, awaiting the news. Avoided googling the shit outta this, then stumble across this post. Blown me away a bit. I mean, we all know smoking isn’t big or clever, but this has been the biggest wake up call of my life, obviously.
I am part of a very reputable profession, married for 25 years, 4 kids. The works. Here I am, absolutely petrified waiting on a phone call.
Long story sorry. Thought I’d share tho.

Thoughts are with you mate, I know it's easier to say than do but stay positive, Its been beaten before and will be again💜💚
We believe it's the smoking that is the problem..you cannot get away from the dangers! But working with cannabis oil doesn't yield the unwanted effects and works as the plant intended. Can even yield the psychedelic effects and change things on a spiritual level way more than smoking! We believe in it as a psychedelic medicine just like our medicine! It has the power to change lives :-) Get well soon brother! You can change things around with changing your mind ;)
Bud, I can only imagine what you're going through. Stay strong and here's hoping for good news. Sending positive energy your way.
Is the tumour in your parotid gland?
I had one in 2006. Turned out to be a pleomorphic adenoma- the most common kind. Thankfully it is benign and was out and touch wood I’m all good except I have a scar that makes me look like I was a ruffian in my younger years

Wow. This is fascinating for me to read. Thanks for sharing Asaddd.
They mentioned the possibility of a common type, that would need removing even if benign. I didn’t take in the name tho. Like I touched on, I’m (usually!) a rational person, but I haven’t googled anything about this. My wife has tho, a lot, she works within the NHS and has spoken to people in this field. We have an unspoken understanding atm and not really discussing it at all. Her mum passed away very young with a cancer in her neck, I know she’s in bits about this. This is breaking me inside.
It’s a weird limbo we’re in, just waiting for the test results. Should be this week by the looks. My gp phoned me Thursday just gone and explained who is looking at it and where, and the process of diagnosis.
The thought of facial surgery scares the bejesus outta me, but the thought of it not being malignant makes it more bearable.

I pray to god/ the universe you do have the benign type.
You do sound rational I think it’s a good mindset- one step at a time.
Please can you post updates?
I’m sure myself and many others here care enough to want to know. Wishing you all the best wishes in the world my friend 👊🏽

Thank you for sharing your story. Try and keep your head up, just make sure you act on the doctor's advice and do so quickly. Please keep away from smoking anything at all now though mate, for you and yours.

So I have smoked weed with tobacco for these 30 years. Smoked cigarettes in the 90s, early 00s, then rolling tobacco. Never a ‘heavy’ fag smoker really, but a heavy joint smoker through (weed and tobacco). Bought a mighty vape last year in an effort to kick my combustion habbit. Used it twice as I really didn’t get in with it. Not smoked anything since my scan that confirmed a tumour, 4 weeks ago. Never found quitting so easy. Currently enjoying the benefits of not having a dependency of any sorts for the first time in my adult life. Felling a better dad and husband for it tbh.
Used a lot of chemicals in those 90s/00s years and have had an ‘unhealthy’ relationship with alcohol since covid, which I have got on top of over the last 9 months.

I hope it all works out for you bro! I got a Mighty and tried quitting combustion, was underwhelmed for a long time. Eventually I got a bong adapter for the Mighty to help cool the vapour and it made it more enjoyable than smoking for me.
Sending our love and positive vibes we hope this difficult time in your life turns out that everything is ok in the end stay strong brother.

I mean, that makes sense.. I don't think anything is really *supposed* to be combusted and inhaled. I know so many people already preach and I don't just wanna be another one, but dry herb vapes truly are a great way to consume. Bud lasts longer, tastes better AND you get avb to use in edibles at the end! I'll still be bongin' and spliffin' it up but it's great to have so many options nowadays
No doubt dry herb vaping is almost certainly way better in terms of health risks than smoking (I also do it as well as edibles). On the other hand, the research on the health risks for dry herb vaping is still extremely limited. Inhaling hot particulates (which still happens with vaping) tends to be no bueno for health.
Very true. We're still kind of in the infancy of cannabis research. We know the long term effects of cigarettes and alcohol but, with the legality of weed over the years, we've still got so many unanswered questions about it. And dry herb vapes really haven't been around that long either. I just hope that we get some conclusive answers in our lifetimes...
I think carts are going to prove a massive roadblock for cannabis development and freedom because of growing health concerns. WithTHCA, D8 & D10 workarounds these are available all across N.America now and the demand is huge with consumers able to puff through 1ml carts or more every single day. Chemical contamination is rife. These things ARE addictive. California is reporting rapidly increasing needs for specialist pulmonary treatments amongst all ages and new clinics are opening rapidly.
Its just the tip of the iceberg...
Its just the tip of the iceberg...
As much as I want to believe that the convenience and discretion of carts is a positive thing, sadly you're 100% spot on. People doing blinkers and landing themselves in hospital isn't an uncommon occurrence in the US, I think seby G (weedtuber) had an incident like that. People going through a gram of 90%+ THC distillate in a day is just insane on so many levels. And as far as contaminants, I 100% believe there's more contaminated carts in the world than legit ones. By a big margin. From pesticides and vitamin E acetate all the way up to spice-laden disposables now prevalent across the UK. It's really a worrying trend and the demand for carts is going up by the day.....
No doubt.
I also wonder if a large part of the emergence of cannabis hyperemesis syndrome as a thing can be linked to heavy usage of carts and concentrates. I suspect it's usually It's hard to get sufficient THC to cause those symptoms from plain old bud.

I wouldn't be surprised at all tbh, 900mg of pure THC every single day cannot be a good thing. Plus there's no entourage effect with disty carts, which is good for some but I personally think the other terps and cannabinoids are what "makes" a high. Even so, rosin/live resin carts must still have 70%+ THC a lot of the time. Overconsumption is the worst thing anyone can do with weed imo, stay within your limits and enjoy it! Don't just get to an 11/10 high all day every day

oh were gonna cum on eileen alright
Anything by Elton John fucking hate the cunt and his music, my wife ruined my Xmas day few years back by telling me a gay singer i didnt like had died.
I was so exited then she told me it was George Michael and i was gutted.
I was so exited then she told me it was George Michael and i was gutted.
and i feel better about myself, you know plotting his murder and all. george michael on the other hand was a genius and worth a quickie in the facility of his choosing
Hahahaha, I actually like Elton, well as much as a straight man can but that made me laugh man.
Tiny Dancer and Rocket Man are OK songs. Other than that Elton John is soooooo overrated.
Fairground simply red, gives me violent thoughts of grabbing mick by his flowing red curls and bouncing his head of every hard surface available. Total pissflap
Yeah anything by Simply Red can give me Forrest Whittaker eye but Fairground is especially bad
And imagine being called Eileen when it came on down the pub back in the day…. Poor cow needed 3 packs of baby wipes.
Too many but Will Smith - Wild Wild West has got to be up there surely. It’s like some record execs put a gun to his head and said ‘Dance bitch!’
Do you think they did it again to willow ? I whip my hair even for a 13 year old was fucking awful
that movie had so much going for it and they still blew it, would make a better series than a lot of shit
Nothing Compares to You by Sinead Depressing Cunt O'Connor that song has the warmth and charm of a dead Rat lying next to a used Tampon.
That Barbie girl tune, need I say why! Lol
And the “grandma I love you” tune, showing my age! Lol
And the “grandma I love you” tune, showing my age! Lol
Ok you win… The grandma I love you song was fucking horrendous, then they felt the need to create the sequel… Grandpa I love you… I mean we got the message the first time.
Lol. She is a liar too, when that Leo chap drowned in the ice, his heart certainly didn’t go on….

Keane - Bedshaped.
Stupid, depressing lyrics that make no sense at all.
Bedshaped? That'll be a bed then...
I hate it because it reminds me of the two weeks I spent crawling around a 20 inch deep subfloor void for 8 hours a day, doing timber treatments on a huge old house.
That shit was on the radio every 20 mins for the whole time we were there.
Scarred me 🙉

If you really want a contender for worst song, you need to listen to Taylor Swift Gorgeous. The song composition and the lyrics seem like they were written by a child.
Also majority of her songs. She did a cover of September by earth wind and fire that haunts me... She turned funk into folk what the actual fuck.
hahaha.. funny to see Zeppelin here because it did occur to me too . Seems like everybody has to adore their music :P
I forgot all about this,Hey plenty of Zepp stuff is fine but that song really gets my goat the first time i heard it i never knew who it was my missus had been putting cd's in the laptop and they kept getting synched to my ipod it came on random one day and i just went wtf is this shit before looking who it was, it sounds to me like a holiday camp band doing reggae.
All musicians steal mate and say they were inspired. A lot of that era were the same. Keith Richards does it. Don’t think that takes away from them as musicians.
Cool, mine too. Sometimes I feel like the great Alan in your photo speaking to younger people. AHA. I was sick with laughter when he got hit with a cow. Steve coogans characters are genius. All the way back to the calf family
as a punk i was always compelled to hate led zep, it was a mistake, i still hate most classic rock still (with merit now) but these guys were really in a class by themselves.
I’m too nice to downvote as maybe that’s how you feel but seriously? The band who gave us in my time of dying can never be fuckin awful.

Hi Buddy
No they don't - the main reason for this is the additional cost, as these are given as freebies we have to keep cost down. Second reason is they are sent randomly free with orders so the people recieving them already have an account and are already registered on littlebiggy so we feel the link would be a little redundant.to these people
We do have other merch accessories and stickers for when we're at events and gatherings which do have our QR code on 👍

Someone already having an account doesn't stop a referral through a link. 🤐 Plus, maybe it gets gifted as they already have one, then someone else uses the link...? Maybe more than once...? Maybe they tell their friends to scan it when they ask on a night out? If people aren't using their referral links then they're potentially losing out on a lot of money. PM me if you want more specific info mate. You've been a great vendor for me and I'll always sing your praises. My mate mocked me when he picked up your sticker though, but he's a knob.
Probably so, but he can have 1. I have 3 (I think?) and don't have many things to put stickers on at my stage in life. They're very cool though, and made me smile.
Whoever does it can advertise and have the users land on a reference code, will make more money than store.
Bongs, grinders, etc? I suppose it could be a way for people to discretely order the essentials.
There are bitcoin transaction and conversion fees for the buyers and biggy fees for the sellers. Why would someone not just go to Amazon for their grinders and such?

Best Big City for Quality of Life

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 😊👍🍻

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. 😂
Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

You probably stepped on it's shit if you visited more than 5 years ago. Thank god they've cleaned things up quite a bit.
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.
paris, tokyo, shanghai, you should be so lucky.
Big cities...Yuk.... best city is a city of green my friends.
NY, Toronto etc, these places are fucking grim and the air and fumes and people want to swallow you up. Fucking rough concept..lol..

Just checked your page (not stalking I promise) and as predicted you've reached 10,000+ likes. 👑
That's amazing buddy and a real testament to how much help you give people, and how much the community values your posts.
LB is a much better place with you here, so roll on 20k.👆
All the best PP.
Cheers. BB 😁🍻👍💚💚💚

Aw mate, I’m really touched by those sentiments especially coming from an LB Legend like yourself! 💥😍…thank you!
Not sure anyone will see this because my page, (3000+ posts in) takes half a century to load! LB archived most of my topics to speed it up but it didn’t work! ….but I will always have it! 👍
I don’t do social media but I do love LB, and I guess it shows…
Thanks mate, and Long Live LB! ❤️🔥❤️

I find with Firefox on Android I can get your page to load in about 30-40 seconds, which is still a pain but not too bad.
On Opera and Brave browsers I just gave up in the end. 😞
No idea what the issue is but yeah, Firefox ftw on that one.
Cheers BB 😁👍🍺

I could clean sheet noob myself (I’m thinking ‘DaPuff’😎) except I might not get sold to! 😉
Hmm, seems a real shame but if it gets worse I guess it's not the end of the world to start a new one. You could always post a pinned comment from this account to your new one to establish its you.
The old 10k looks like it might be a blessing and a curse!
The topic actually loads quickly when it's loading from my chat response thingy, but it's slow when I try and access it through your page.
God only knows what's going on there... 🤔🤔🤔
Fingers crossed it might sort itself out.

Always happy to help and puts up with my shite chat lol most of the advice I have churned out on my topics as it’s good advice.

(for those of you thinking the "future" of Star Trek Utopia is just round the corner, sorry, the shit happening in the 2020's lasts for years to come, Strictly doesn't end until 2156 ffs. At least LB survives to the 23rd century and is used by all 487 genders, sorry said too much again...)

I messaged DeadRabb1t and said “Oy Flopsie, get over to BB’s post and say nice things about me!” He replied that he had spent two days on his phone trying to load it before giving up. (I suspect that he spent two days trying to think of anything nice to say before giving up but I’ll have te accept his excuse!😂😳).

As mentioned by BB, I hopped on Firefox cos I thought can't wait another century for it to load and it loads very quick indeed!
I think it in the beginning for me it was yours and DR's posts that gave me hope not everyone was insane (ish) 🤪

Polly is the person who probably made me quit tobacco and combustion, he obviously doesn’t know that but it’s been very important for me. So really thanks for the sincere advice PP!!
Wow, that is so good to hear buddy!…thank you for sharing that- it means a lot…and yup, combustion is the devil!👹…..😉
Aw congratulations polly puff 10,000 likes 🥳🥳 LB definitely wouldn’t be the same without you, you help so many with your helpful posts
Thanks Bev!😍….
You’ve been cool around here for years now and I always enjoy reading your posts!

Congrats, as British bulldog said LB is a much better place with you, really appreciate you taking time to give guidance on many different subjects. To the next 10,000 😉🙏
As much as loading Puffs page made my browser sad, I think the HTML-jank adds greatly to the charm of this place. Feels like an underground site from the 90s.
But also, very well deserved! :D I have definitely appreciated all the great advice in my (very-almost) a year here. You can get weed off any dodgy site nowadays, but very few bother to cultivate an actual community. Puff is an integral part of that.

Top 100 Albums in the Rick Rubin Extended Universe
Dr. Dre on Rick Rubes:
“hands down, the dopest producer ever that anyone would ever want to be, ever.”
“hands down, the dopest producer ever that anyone would ever want to be, ever.”
Rick Rubin changed my life - or at least had a big influence on my musical taste. I vividly remember hearing Slayer's Reign in Blood for the first time back in '87. I was gobsmacked! 28 minutes of total mayhem - it never occured to me you were allowed to do that on a record! Along with Electric by The Cult, and Licensed to Ill by the Beastie Boys, to name but a few, he has helped provide the soundtrack to much of my life.
I got hooked onto hip hop when I first PE LP and Ice Cube's Amerikkka's Most Wanted got released, so a long ass time ago. I think Rubin worked on Fear Of The Black Planet with PE. Their first 5 LPs are classics in my library
Did I miss Mars Volta on that list? Top 3 Rick Rubin
Also Yeezus, System’s first album and One Hot Minute top tier.

when u see rick rubin for the first time you would never think he produces rap albums
he is indeed a musical genius!
i come across Rick Rubin on the magna carter documentary
how does rick rubin compare to scott storch?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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😎

It's funny i only ever see coldspurs cheering on the borgs. they love these cold bots rather then this beautiful community.
all your points are mute when you need to start insulting polly's life choices Polly has always been a wonderful voice for the community rather then you coldspurs spending your life being Nelly negative

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.
(Insert generic uplifting remark)

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.

Flying with weed vape
Hi guys,
Just wondered if anyone had experiences of flying with a weed vape?
Can they tell through x-ray/sniffer dogs?
Got sniffed out at a festival with it before and they looked at it and didn't bat an eye.
Going from England to Lanzarotte soon and not sure whether to risk it.

I put mine in my wash bag in hand luggage and I travel to Europe every couple of weeks no problem. I am a bugger though as soon as I get through customs I always go to toilet and get baked before flight. What a way to fly....
I have done it recently with an Xvape Fog Pro plus a grinder. I cleaned both carefully to ensure that no stray flower was left. Put them through security in amongst a load of cables and computer gear. No issues at all. Once in Lanzarote, I registered at a weed shop (several in Puerto del Carmen) for lifetime membership (€10) and legally bought 1g of Runtz for €15. At the end of the holiday I again cleaned the vape and grinder and again there were no issues. As far as I'm aware, I didn't break any laws at all.
you’ll be absolutely fine. flown domestic and international with carts, batteries, disposables. never even been looked at twice. tsa cares about bombs and national threats not your vape pen. stick the vape in toiletry bag and separate battery. if it’s a disposable vape stick it in toiletry bag too. don’t put batteries in checked as lithium batteries aren’t allowed. even if your bag gets pulled there’s not much to tell them it’s a thc vs nicotine vape unless it is loud asf. even then they don’t rlly care.
We've just got back from Crete (Manchester to Heraklion) and I just placed it onto the tray with my wallet and phone. No bother.
I always take some rso in an evening primrose dropper bottle stuffed in my wash bag.

So what is the perfect recipe in the end , for ex unbranded stealth Distillate vape . Where do u put it when you fly. I understand don’t consume it , i’m talking just taking it with you safely.
I brought 30g to Italy with me last week and flew back with 5g, all just sat in my hand luggage, I had the paperwork to back up my prescription but it didn’t even get flagged! First time travelling with it as well, just gonna overweigh my medical bags next time and take some nice flavours
Have travelled multiple times with a Mighty vape, grinder and the canister with the loading capsules. Cleaned beforehand with 99% alcohol and the plastic bits and grinder went through a dishwasher cycle. Finally vacuumed it all into a vac bag and have never had issues, especially going to places with ""legal" weed, such as Spain. It's probably famous last words but those Customs seem to have much bigger fish to fry than UK leisure smokers. Also, if it suits, for checked baggage look into a service like Airportr ; they collect your bags from home, they clear UK customs within a few hours and are ready and waiting at your destination once you have landed, way beyond the customs area. In fact, the old school customs area of tables and officers seem to be a thing of the past - you just walk through into the baggage collect. Assume they monitor from cameras and two -way glass, although not so as you would notice. Z
Hey dude.
My d9 are not branded so don’t smell or look like anything besides a ‘normal’ vape.
I’ve travelled abroad with these many times.

I've had my Flowermate HybridX in hand luggage, and one 0.5 cart in plastic bag with other toiletries. Of course they had to open the bag and check... the antiperspirant right next to it, lol
I’ve just come back from a couple of trips abroad and no dramas. As others suggest, wash bag in checked in luggage 👍✈️
That’s only for cabin baggage that they can check at security. You don’t want them rifling through your stuff and find a vape pen, however innocuous it may appear. Safe travels
Yeah, the plan was to put the cart in the luggage, I've found a normal vape tank for the m10 thread vape battery and was gonna take that through checked luggage
Yeah I have taken disposable ones through 2 times now, once to Bulgaria and one to Spain, I just throw it into toiletries/medicine bag and then get to enjoy it while away
Yes you can put them in there as other vapers put them in there. I just got the 510 thread ones, popped the cart into luggage and carried the batteries in hand held and had no worries
I’ve taken my Storz Bickel Mighty and Venty through security no problem. Always give it a quick scrape out before. I did manage to come back from Amsterdam with loads of champagne hash inside the cooling chamber.
Done it a few times, just chucked it in with toiletries/medicine in my main luggage, never had a problem

Hi biggas
Your opinions on what may be wrong with this weed are required. I recently purchased an amount of bud, and on opening a nice gas smell hit me straight off. Nice bud, not rock hard but not super spongy. Grinds perfectly but when smoking there’s a horrendous feeling on the throat on inhaling and on the exhale. What would be causing this sensation and any way to get it sorted out properly or is this another example of the dodgy vendors to avoid like they’ve got the plague lol

What is the ash like when you burn it? Would be handy if you could let us know the strain/vendor as others might have had similar experiences. Like ike said, be sure to contact the vendor.

Thanks for your input folks, I know to contact the vendor in the odd time this sort of situation happens. I was just asking what would cause this and if there was anything that could be done to buds that were causing this weird symptoms . I only made this post as this was second time in a row with two different vendors. The first time I pick 6 different strains and 5 were decent, contacted vendor and was sorted immediately. As for the colour of the ash, I mix with baccy. It’s a grey/white with no blackness in through it. And if test Borg sends me an address I will happily send you some.
