Inheritance tax should be abolished?
Governments ultimately own everything simply because they have the guns.

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?..

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".

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.

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

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.

morse code in the ear
Anyone have tinnitus it's like having a deep morse code in your ear just started this week having to focus on things to block it but doesn't work 🫨😩😩
Could do with some wisdom on how to help it stop repeating

Cheers Ike been interesting playing around with that . might end up putting it on a raspberry pi & let it play in the background
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.
Trying to get an appointment but can't get past the hard dogs
No concerts no loud music or anything that I can think of . I have pink noise on now while playing cod & even play it with no sound at times . have ordered a few different ear plugs for sleeping

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.

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

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

Is spelling and grammar not a part of "wisdom and knowledge?" (or knowlage)

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.
Cheers BB

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

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

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

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!

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.
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
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.
They've found traces of THC in the lungs of ancient Egyptian mummys so they did have access to Cannabis in that region.

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 😂

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.
The Beano is as much an encyclopedia as Wikipedia. https://libcom.org/article/libertarian-marxist-tendency-map + any anarcho history from Bakunin and Stirner onward.
A true president like that and the only one in the world is Milei Argentina , guy saved his country from crashing down due to importing US values in mostly a Traditional hard working country.

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

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

regardless the royals personally owned slaves and here they still are able to pay up for it.
You idiot, lots of people owned slaves, it was kind of a thing.... Let me guess they also need to pay war reparations to the horses of the light brigades descendants? The fact you buy drugs online rather than work on your mental deficiencies is astonishing.
just wondering how does that 2 wrongs make a right routine work out for you? my experience and that of the history of man is that it's toxic as fuck.
and what about the 1.5 million white slaves taken from europe by africans? dont they count?
or was reading real history too complicated for you? clown.
we abolished slavery while african chiefs were putting cages full of slaves on the beaches waiting for profit.
over 2000 british servicement died fighhting slavers while it was still legal in every other country on earth.
more blacks owned slaves than whites did...and over 90% of slaves in africa died before they reached sdale.
but dont let the truth effect your ill informed media driven propaganda.

Hindsight is twenty twenty, as they say. It is, however, useless when we are aimlessly stumbling through the present moment to survive. I liken the experience to growing older and maturing. If we were to atone for every sin we accumulated through childhood, we'd mostly ALL be skint, black, white, yellow, brown, or rainbow-coloured. If you are always looking back over your shoulder, you'll never look forward.
Can we talk about how our king has done more for equality, against slavery and human trafficking than any African monarch.
The fact you can post this and think "ooo take that Britain" just shows what kind of pathetic warped individual you are, I bet you also agree with "from the river to the sea"
This country is a bastion of human rights, fairness and equality and has been longer than any single country on earth. Posting shit like this just demonstrates not everyone SHOULD have the right to be here.

I think you are cleverly proving the point that slavery exists today. It all starts with an arbitrarily chosen ruler and ignorant obedience.
Who should they pay reparations to?
The African countries that are still using their own people as slaves?
The African countries that are still using their own people as slaves?
that would exclude all the descendants of slaves since they were taken away from those countries
Why do descendants deserve anything? Would they move back to Africa now? They probably have a better life where they are.
The Romans enslaved most of Europe but you don't see Europeans begging for a handout from Italy. Same with the Vikings and Denmark.

Actually the remaining institution of Rome is starting to pay up. Windsors should do the same.
Absolute bollocks. Read your own article. It says "Leaders of the Jesuit Conference of Canada and the United States". Nothing to do with Rome. Just a few North Americans virtue signalling
The continent of Africa circa the trans-atlantic slave trade was inhabited by peoples of various tribes and factions who were engaged in perpetual conflict, over resources but also owing to cultural differences. They would each kidnap rivals and enslave them, offering them to the British in exchange for money or goods. The notion that Europeans simply bopped over and ransacked the place and shackled the natives is not just unfounded, it is preposterous. Excursions to Africa were costly, not just in terms of money and resources but also in men. They were mounted with the intention to obtain slaves through trade as this meant less lives (and gunpowder) were lost in the pursuit of their objective, which was to bring slaves back to the continent.
TL:DR African tribes were complicit in the trans-atlantic slave trade

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

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

Last comment on this subject from me;) humans are almost clones of each other. For example to apes are always more genetically different than any two humans and they basically do the same in life due to most being born in to similar situations. So it’s very easy to judge people for their mistakes, when if born in the same situation, we may do very similar things. It’s very easy to say how wrong things were and are from the we have everything we need perspective that we look from nowadays in developed countries anyway. Using others for your own gain is wrong imo but if you were born into the Royal family, ask yourself, how vocal about reparations would you be? Peace
I'd be vocal, at least it would be an alternative to the monotoous life of bullshit I'd otherwise be living.
I agree. The problem is Royals follow protocol and listen to their advisers. If they listened to an economist they would use the surplus 18 billion raised in the Chancellor's budget to plug that other black hole.
As soon as former common wealth nations ask for repatriation. Commence operation Bad Enoch. Wealth isn't common.

It wasn’t wrong then though. Say for example your family got wealthy through shares and that got made illegal in the future. Would you say “oh I can’t believe how immoral my family were” and donate all their money to charity and have em out on the street?
Should Italy pay France for using their land for 300 years and killing half the country back in Roman times? Remember you only have the right to be how you are now because your ancestors killing the previous inhabitants and took their land. Are you looking to make reparations to their ancestors?
What I think is the royals should stop getting money from the people. They are basically bums with the best universal credit deal ever!

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

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

Straight out the gate. Chill, Raj, or your banner with all its bullet points of what White Privilege is may get damaged. Simply put, because I'm White, have grown up with Black friends with more advantages and privileges than me. I've lived in council estates all over the UK, some of which I'm the minority. The only ppl that seem to scream white privilege are Americans and UK white middle-upper class angry women, who are without a shadow of a doubt; PRIVILEGED. Same colour as me, but worlds apart. It's that simple. Don't try and tell me I've had more advantages and not used them, w/o knowing the first thing about me - just that I'm white and therefore privileged? Is that the sum of the profiling, Raj?
" just that I'm white and therefore privileged? Is that the sum of the profiling"
Yes. That's what white privilege means.
We don't need to know anything about you, all other things being equal, you're better off than your black neighbour.
Yes. That's what white privilege means.
We don't need to know anything about you, all other things being equal, you're better off than your black neighbour.
"We don't need to know anything about you". Who is "we" on this occasion? Just so I'm on the same page..
Well there's some irony spelled out and still not clicking. Figures. Lovely bit of sanctimony btw, PieBoi. Props.
Sanctimony? Irony?
I'm not making a judgement, I'm explaining what's meant by the term.
White Privilege does not mean the least privileged white person is still better off than every black person, which is what you're railing against.
It means wherever you are and whatever you're doing, a black person in the same position has fewer opportunities than a white person.
A white doctor gets paid more than a black one.
A white police officer has more opportunities for promotion than a black one. That kind of thing.

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

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

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

Wow! This reply is literally from weeks ago, and you think I wrote what now? Raj you are so off course, it's like some Jake Paul 4+4=5 conclusion. You've reached new levels of dumb digging for the ever elusive reasons you're not smart enough to be a dentist. Honestly I think it's kinds cool. You should get a podcast and enlighten all your friends. Ciao4now, bud.
fair enough and i would probably feel the same from that perspective but what you are missing is the punitive damages aspect of the liability.
at a time when the world is turning more separatist and fascist it's especially valuable to know that shit like that is held accountable for ever.

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

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.
Much love to you catt and heartfelt thanks for sharing your story.
May I ask for the benefit of all of us - do you only smoke weed or baccy too?

Thank you Ike.
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

Worst song ever? And why... GO!
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….
Watch this with your sound on, and I think you will agree no further explanation is required.
Bruno Mars.
"When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change

My question is - how many faces did he previously change to suit his needs. He's amazed he found someone who's face doesn't need rearranging. This man is a psycho folks.

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.

someone do this, buyers are always looking for equipment and interesting stuff will garner a lot of attention.
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
The UN says its Moscow!

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..👍👍

Buenos Aires is lovely, always planned to go back but it's such a long way away!
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 😊👍🍻

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. 😂

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.

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.

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.

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!
Let’s keep rolling on👍😎

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.

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

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

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.

Contests need to be provably fair
If the seller is holding the contest and judging how is that fair?

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)..

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😎

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.

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.
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.

The Alps, there are zillions of empty spots for every budget some have glaciers and they all have thrilling mountain rides that you only get in the summer.
I used sunweb for my skii trip in the alps, all inclusive 5 star resort with lift pass, flight, transfer and snowboard equipment for approx. £500 for 5 days. Absolute bargain! One of my favourite holidays. Lake Como in Italy is also great, been there twice now 👌 stunning views and immaculate vibes!
Explore the unknown that's available, especially places you've never considered. There is plenty to pick from once you open your mind. The best and most affordable trips start just this way.

movies, series or games: where is the best of star wars?
pretty much The Way but esb has too much hamilling it up.
Hi Dr Drek
For me the Mandalorian is the best of all series AND movies - bar none.
My fave movie is still the ESB (which shows my age). Rogue One comes second.
I would never do that to a kid but still that could be me ;-)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4TX6x2WLgk
I have high hopes for Ahsoka though, the Mando episode with her is as close to a Kurosawa movie as it gets.
Cheers

Hi Ike
Agreed but the Yoda training saves the movie.
And those bounty hunters...
Plus it ends with the good guys defeated which is always a plus...
Return of the Jedi has some amazing stuff in it but Bill Bailey has a major point: the Ewoks....
Out of the new stuff I was disappointed with Kenobi, Andor is pretty much adult Star Wars but the Escape from Alcatraz feel drags on and on.
Out of the movies Solo could have been good but the actor playing Han is lame.
That train heist is in the Mando league though and that Lovecratian Kessel Run is wicked :-)
Cheers

The best of star wars (in my opinion) is the board game Star Wars: Rebellion.
It's a brilliantly made, engrossing 2 player war game and I have played it so many times and would bite anyone's hand off if they offered to play with me 😁 it has a bit of a steep learning curve (for a stoned wally like me) but once you get to grips, it will be the best stoned board game you ever played.

what is quantum gravity?
started topic
well, so far as I have learned so far, it is the attempt to marry the quantum world and classical physics when looking at how gravity is expressed in the so called physical world. At the moment it seems to be focusing on black holes, near the centre of them, to form the theories that could marry the classical theories and the quantum theories. Very interesting so far. But since I'm reading Wikipedia we'll be sure to have the salt handy. I'm not a big fan of Wikipedia but it can be a helpful launching pad, sometimes.
Ah it’s way easier to understand. Very easy in fact…we have discovered that the laws of gravity don’t apply to particles way way way down at tiny levels (ie) quarks etc. Our problem is trying to explain why. One of the stumbling blocks to defining ‘quantum gravity’ is that we have also discovered that particles of this size can exist in two places (anywhere in the universe) at the same time. How can gravity affect two particles separated over light years. That’s the problem.
I know this ‘cos I read ‘Brief History Of Time’…but I can’t remember. It was a difficult chapter….

buying crypto privately
1 - stay away from major exchanges like coinbase, they share the most data with the most other people
2 - an exchange outside your country is better than an exchange in your country.
3 - peer to peer exchanges are better than centralized exchanges but data saved by the exchange is within the reach of government authorities.
4 - bitcoin atms often only require a telephone number

Yeah this… Seriously stay away from Coinbase… literally the Govs bitch… Trackong fucking everything, Binance will comply eventually they’ll have to but I don’t think they’ll make it easy like Coinbase did. Coinbase seriously is the anti thesis of crypto.
Up to now have had no issue with coin base, but noticed there seems to be limit on how much btc I can buy each time…more fees….so what are the best alternatives to coin base….
Our post here shows you how to purchase bitcoin without KYC or limits 😊

An independent wallet is essential to privacy. Transfer your coins from the exchange to an onboard wallet like exodus or an online wallet like blokchcain.com
yes, exchanges that hold your bitcoins with your identity are part of the global banking system and ultimately control both your funds and data.
you can go even further by mixing your coins so an analysis can not trace them, coinjoin does this.

This is true but its noteworthy that some exchanges are bigger rats than others. HTX, KuCoin and MEXC are a bit less cheesy.
Local coin swap is pretty good, its P2P and vendors often don't require any ID verification from you which is nice
Interesting thread something i’ve been thinking about lately is i know obviously your bank can only see that you’ve made a transaction to a crypto exchange they don’t know what your paying for etc so suppose that side is pretty discreet.
The part that concerns me is when when you complete a transaction to LB paybis provides you with a receipt at the end which clearly states that the information contained in the receipt is publicly available on the blockchain, I’ve had a detailed look through it and its mostly number and letters etc but i’m just wondering if any information in the receipt can be tracked back to LB in any way?
Bearing in mind i pay directly and don't use any internediatory wallet. I haven’t had any issues so far or payments being blocked.

Friendliest Islamic Destinations?
I've been to so many Christian places, Buddhist, but never a Moslem one. Where do you suggest?
Agreed, I went to Istanbul during Ramadan a few years ago and it was fantastic. Highly recommend that city, just a beautiful place and the food is amazing!
Cheers. BB
Cheers. BB
My Auntie and her “friend” went to Turkey during Ramadan and she said it was nightmare. Agreed that it was a beautiful place and the food was beyond superb.
Apparently Jordan is quite chill. Haven’t been but have seen a documentary following a guy (Levison Wood) travelling around Arabia and definitely Jordan is more relaxed than some surrounding countries. Also Petra is in Jordan which looks amazing
I dunno, they didn't do too well in the Suez war... And I'm pretty sure the ottomans beat them a couple times too.
Malaysia & Indonesia definitely worth a mention! Very underrated as tourist destinations. Azerbaijan is a fairly secular Muslim nation, with a big drinking culture & nightclubs, same goes for Kosovo. Friend of mine visited both & had a great time. Apparently Kosovans love Brits. Morocco is very regional, but always friendly. I've never been but some of the best & most hospitable people I've encountered come from there - a colleague of mine gave me a big chunk of hash at work once because he was despairing at the shwag I was smoking (pre-LB days!).
My friend went to Iraq before lockdown and had a brilliant time. Iraqis are very friendly and tjough there are issues a well run tour will be worth it. Some of the architecture looks incredible.
Wow as a British Muslim I came here expecting the same regurgitated racist nonsense you see all over Facebook etc. I just want to say it’s a breath of fresh air seeing all these posts. I also wanted to say that first and foremost I would consider myself British, my dad moved to this country 30+ years ago (whether due to prior circumstances or not) and has built an amazing life for us all here in much we certainly wouldn’t have been able to enjoy in his own country.
The problem is you have people coming over nowadays who do not want to intergrate into British society at all, learn the language? No thanks, try some traditional English food? don’t eat that horrible bland food. Claim the benefits? Yes please. I find myself in a situation where I am unable to buy a home, unable to live comfortably while working what I would say is a fairly good job all because 1000+ goes towards deductions and funding these kind of people. These kind of people are the real problem and tarnish the reputation of everyone else.
To the OPs question most countries barring Saudi Arabia are fine for a visit just be sure to obey the local customs. Saudi Arabia is full of bigoted hypocrites so I would steer well clear of there. Some notable examples which are quite liberal are Morocco and Turkey. Istanbul and marrakech are good city breaks and there are also loads of resort towns such as Agadir, Bodrum etc. Further afield you could travel to the northern areas of Pakistan where I am from we have the 2nd tallest mountain K2, hash from the Himalayas beautiful food and beautiful people. It’s an amazing place and it’s safe despite what you hear on the news. Search karakoram tourism if you’re interested

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

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

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

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

Most ‘ordinary’ people are friendly and accommodating wherever you go, it’s the extremist hardline cultists in positions of power that are the cancer. Look at the U.K. for a hardline extremist cultist government!
Anyway, the Turkish are generally friendly.
There’s the Maldives and Tunisia which are also relatively safe.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

They were doing random drugs tests in the neighbourhood. Literally take me to my toilet, pass me a plastic cup and watches me with my back turned pee in the cup! Can't make the shit up! Fortunately all was good.
I have highlighted a few of my bad experiences however it can't replace the 100s of amazing experiences I gained. The people are friendly, the food is good. Number 1 rule when visiting Asian Street food stalls, go where all the locals go, if you don't follow the rule you'll end up code brown.
Stay safe. Stay wise. Be respectful. Carry as little as possible and follow the laws, you'll be safe in almost any country.
Also the dude at the airport literally asked for an underhand of £15 to let me through the gates. Explained i had overstayed by one day. Saved me a huge amount of time with all the paper work and was a fraction less than what I would have had to pay to their government! The hilarious thing was he was sat on a closed gate and I skipped the busy queue 😂
Be prepared for the constant megaphone blasting prayers. Try to get a room as high and soundproofed as possible;)
i actually enjoy the meditation breaks, especially the feeling that people all over the world are sharing the moment. as long as i'm in the right time zone ;)
Even at stupid o’clock in the morning when trying to sleep?;)
I have been to a few Muslim places and am now sick of it. Just like if I see another temple or church;)

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

The sadness of oppression
Friends,
Today we just wanted to share our hearts. We had the strangest feeling today ..a sense of sadness that everything we do here at PsyHQ has to be underground :(
Everyday we get the most beautiful life changing messages from those who benefit from our medicine. We ourselves have changed our own lives and are here to pass on the gift that we had been given.
Yet everyday we live under severe stress that at any point everything we do can be taken away…and everyday we could be punished for what we do…help people…some even say “you saved my life”
We work everyday to change this world for the better! We work on ourselves! We are raw, true and devoted to the cause of breaking free from the oppressive! The Matrix…more clearly seen as it’s ever been
Psychedelics - the blue or red pill ;-)
Anyway matey’s - we just thought to share a thought to stir the hearts for those of you who know what we are talking about…for all who are fighting and believing in our deserved freedom.
We love you LB’s and we thank you for being the absolute best online community there is !!
Ps. Shout out to all the vendors loosing cash now with the drop of btc :-/
Peace, love and harmony:) and trust ::))

The First Anarchist
it basically went from hippy to punk
![[crypto freedom]](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/u/w/800/UzSoUyEdCnefNkdW.gif)
The First Anarchist
Pierre-Joseph Proudhon was a 19th century French politician that was the 1st person to declare themselves an anarchist. His basic message was to stop fighting the state and simply ignore it.
My bigga.
My bigga.
It's a shame that anarchy has been conflated with chaos instead of free and voluntary association.
It wasn't do nothing. He proposed a mutualist economy compete with the capitalist one, what Lenin would later appropriate as dual power, to eventually subsume it. In practice, it is questionable if he even was an anarcho; he sat in parliament, was against strikes and revolutions, and advocated for money in the form of labour vouchers.

what to do when you can't reach little biggy
the little biggy federation is a network of independently operated platforms with live littlebiggy data and functionality, plus content of their own. society can be reached via the tor onion network using the tor browser (https://www.torproject.org/download/).
can anyone help me with society ? ... I have d/loaded brave but each time I click on the above society link it doesn't work ? ...am I being stupid or too stoned ?
make sure you have the tor browser option going in brave or just use the onion browser, its better anyway
I used the Tor browser ( rpund purple icon, half solid and half a target; as no idea if tor is a brand or terminology) and once it loaded & opened - I had a bar at the bottom that I cut and pasted into and pressed go. Then came here to test
I can’t see anything on Items wall to change your country. Where is it on that page? I think I need to set my country as my orders won’t go to payment. Would appreciate any help with Society. In UK using Onion browsers on iOS. Thanks
From the Items Wall, select your vendor. Under their ‘Manifesto’ at the top of the page is ‘Select Country’ with a drop down menu👍
Thank you for heads up and keeping us updated, it's much appreciated.
Its been fun learning all this new stuff, made me raise my game. Reminded me of how I came about this place in the first place.

Hi Ike, I’m struggling to order on Society, how do I turn have script on? I am using iOS. Thanks
On IOS you must select the lowest security level (bronze) instead of the default (silver) on Onion otherwise it auto disables JavaScript….
Just had a huge payment disappear into the ether while jumping between Clearnet and Society because clearnet just dropped out during the process. Its obvious the whole thing is breaking down. Between that and the RM strikes ruining Christmas I think it's best to go old skool for a bit. It's been a fun run though.
there is no loss of payment information between federation members. if your data isnt showing please contact

Better Call Saul vs. Breaking Bad
nolo contendere
For me the greatest TV show of all. So many great characters. And a perfect ending. Gonna leave it a few years before going back and watching again. Though I miss my Kim Wexler fix
she has got so much better as time goes on, we love it! Just watched one last night and I was actually shocked! wont spoil for anyone ;)
Breaking bad will probably always be considered more of a classic and definitely was one of those dramas that paved the way for modern dramas today. But in terms of quality BCS is better written, Directed and streamlined than breaking bad season 1 was a bit slow tho. Also without BB there never would be BCS which has to be apprciated.
BB my preference Saul is an amazing character but dont think it takes you on the roller coaster BB does
I can't remember 1 boring episode of BB, even the one that was set solely in the lab with the fly Walter couldn't catch
So true I forgot about that one lol.
Most episodes left you with that feeling hows he going to get out of this.
The videoed confession had me in stitches.
Poor Hank lol.

Yeah things went seriously south for Mr White once Hank died. He was a good character
For me, personally I think they’re both brilliant. You cant watch better call Saul before breaking bad. I love how it shows the aftermath of what happened, better call Saul is slower but if you’ve watched breaking bad before you’ll be sucked in from minute one. For me breaking bad might just be the greatest tv series ever. Just everything about it was fucking mega and it wasn’t hollywoood it was raw just like GOT used to be till they ruined it.
No need for a comparison, both great shows. Obviously BB set the scene for Better Call Saul, but I think it would have worked without BB as a stand alone.

How do I report a bogus seller
just send a message to cleanup borg with whatever evidence you have
You should probs explain the issue and name the vendor so that we don’t all scammed by them….ir might be others have had bad dealings - or good - with them. Let us, the community know what’s happened.
Didn't mean to sound rude. It's a pain having to wait by the door everyday and getting dragged through the mud. This is a great platform, potentially could remove pitfalls of the street. Maybe there should be point scoring to help the people running. There's probably too much pressure on them.
Seconding Bilbo11, you can’t do that. But if the seller gets enough disputes then I think the account gets flagged as fraud suspected, so if this is the case then it might take a little while (not sure what the dispute % threshold is for that - somebody more knowledgable than me will know). If you (or anyone else potentially affected) don’t receive your order after ~9days, you can hit the dispute button when it appears.

any fasting biggaz out there?
i've started to dabble with holding out to dinner. it has been positive overall, there's surely a high, maybe also a little anger too though. anyone else trying this?
I love fasting! Clear my head better than any meditation 🧘🏻♀️
Lately I’ve been doing OMAD (One Mea a Day) and it’s amazing, such a hassle free way of living plus it makes easier to choose something healthy to eat.
The only thing that makes me go OUT OF CONTROL is the munchies 🥴 I would eat the legs of the chairs if i could ha

I've replaced most munchies with strawberries. Great results. Exceptionally clean teeth too!
Did a ten day fast with only water few months ago..Had the occasional bit of salt and lemon to suppress appetite. Cleared pimples ive had for years, black marks on my skin. Still smoked weed during it..called it my "weed and water" fast
but wow was an amazing experience days 2-3 are the hardest, after that u get a natural body high and u feel intermittent bursts of energy which u should use to do light exercise....was losing over 0.8kg a day..would defo recommend!!
Dr Berg on youtube for more info helped me alot!

done this for years found it a bit harder latley though. id wake up 8am and wouldnt eat till 4pm to 7pm never felt hungry to a point ide suffer so didnt have any issue doing it. since covid i have been eating earllyer due to feeling starved by 1pm will i get back to old self probabby not since having covid twice now eating in general is not what it used to be like taste and texture not the same anymore.
ha! in my case it is not so. my metabolism went up. and I can now drink and smoke more than before ;) with much less bad side-effects
I've been on and off 17/7 for the last year and I feel I reached a plateau.. I wonder if I should try OMAD or one day on, one day off.. Any one have any tips on how to not stuff your face once your fasting time is up?!
My app tells me I have fasted 8277 hours! i tend to eat between 12-8pm and have lost a total of 4 stone, im not sure ive noticed many mental benefits though other than not berating myself constantly haha If anyone wants a good tracker app, I use Fastic.
I have 18 hours between eating everyday which seems to help me anyways. Best thing I’ve done is pair that with stopping all processed foods and sugar. grass fed biltong and walnuts are my snack of choice. Milk thistle, moringa powder, turmeric, cayenne and Ceylon washed down with ginger juice is definitely worth trying too.
Yeah, I do it once a year. Did do it for detox and lose some weight but recently it's been a more spiritual experience.

I would really urge anyone who is or is planning to fast to get a checkup at their GP first. Make sure your vitamineral levels are good.
A few years back I was addicted to speed and consistently went 4-6 days without food (and sleep) when one day I just fell over and woke up in the hospital the day after. I was apparently on the verge of starving to death even though I'm a tubby motherphoenix, so stay safe friends!

I’ve always naturally kinda fasted. Never really had breakfast or lunch. I do have coffee or tea so break my fast I guess with the milk. But I only really eat my evening meal about 7/8pm and then might snack again with the munchies till about 2am. I’m not a massive eater tho and could probs do with eating more.
i fast maybe every 2-3 days for a day sometimes 2 , longest i ever fasted was 9 days. also i mainly only eat one meal a day (Unless im toking) Munchies make it way to hard too fast XD
I went through a phase a few years ago of doing three day water fasts. Always felt very serene on the last day. By the time it came to actually eat again, I wasn't that bothered!
I generally don't eat until about 5pm. Still overweight due to munchies. But have halved sugar and doubled cardio and weights with really impressive results.
Just starting Out my own fast, just water only for the last 48 hours.
Going to try it once a week (for the health benefits)
No bad side affects so far, just not able to eat socially can be a downer when your on it.

How are you getting on? I’ve been intermittent fasting (16:8) for a while, always tempted to do a 48 or 72 hour fast, so like a full body reset
Do it bro.. its amazing..but must say first 72 hours are usually the hardest..after that your body starts using its own fat reserves more efficiently.. so would suggest 7-10 days if u can.. everyday after the 3rd ull see benefits and increased energy levels..
Wow! That’s a long one haha Do you experience much muscle wastage in that time? Burning a bit of fat is never a bad thing though haha
I stopped for now, but honestly I felt much more healthy when I was doing the fast and need to jump back on or at least reset my diet yet again… too many Greg’s tuna baguettes at 10 am during the week plus weekend take away has ruin my diet.
Too much processed foods.
The fast is an easy way to reset body and diet and just great for the mental.
going to go for a half day fast on Monday and steadily creep up to a 48/72 hour fast over the next couple weeks

yeah that’s the downfall of our diets these days, everything is just so easy to get our hands on. Access to food constantly, I always have a bit of a relapse at weekends haha deadly case of the munchies 😂 I will most definitely do a 48 hour one soon I think, I seem to get on quite well with 16:8 and like you said you feel healthier
after my fasts i usually make a big pot of spicey Chanko or ramen and have it for days after XD
i like to brake fast with the least appealing healthiest foods i can get my hands on, basically their day in the sun
48 is right when it starts feeling a wee bit psycho. like you're going to eat a side of beef or nothing ever again.
that said i find the hardest part is compatibility with others and meal times

Massively into MMA as a number 1 sport.
Love watching the free One FC muay Thai on a Friday afternoon too.
Also support a league 1 football team for my sins.
I used to follow football in a more general way but I just don't care about it the way I used to if my team is not involved.
Semi interested in NFL. I check the scores but just don't have time to watch all the games

If your seller is using a royal mail account - the account holds all history.
If they’re using click and drop, their printer hold history.
All sellers using tracked services have a record, there’s really no way around it. How else could you prove delivery and fend off spurious claims?

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

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

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

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

A site like this should have time stamps on posts/threads ect & possible option to be paid in a staple coin would do wonders. I’m a relatively new vendor & the volatility Btc brings is hurting atm.
Just review your favourite vendor on trustpilot with your link to their page. Use the share button on the top of the page.
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?
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 should tie their commercial identity to an irl event and identity. at least i can't think of a safe way. it would be a great thing no doubt. if you are going to do it keep it vague with who you are, a common shared handshake or something that says bigga but not which one.
Im planning on going mate! Shall look out for your hat! I hope to be wearing my "420 clock" tee shirt(weather permitting) and having a crafty vape of some decent sativa or other :)

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!
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.
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.
It was a joke mate but fuck, Vietnam. Is that what you are comparing Scottish Independence to?
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.

Scotland's nationalist party don't want to exclude races, they want independence from another countries rule. It's not about racism.
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!

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!

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.

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.
If it's the colour of people's skin you're referring to, and you're suggesting you have to be white to be regarded as english, then yes, you are. Not just nowadays, always.

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.

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
peace

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.

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

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

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.

I think although this might be well versed, it fails to notice the significant distinction between deontological and consequentialist libertarianism.
That is the crux of the matter full stop as far as the lassez faiyre way goes.

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

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

Libertarian in the Rothbard sense is a relatively new thing and American. For hundred years or so prior elsewhere it meant anarchist or agrarianism. It's still very much in use in that vein.
Conservative Libertarians in the US are also linked to dominionists like the Mercer family and the hard right theories of Patrick Buchanan

Apple Can Still See Icloud Data
even with "advanced data protection" things like your email are accessible by apple
Of course they can they own the service, any chat platform/social media/internet provider/phone company have to provide law enforcement with your data if requried. If a judge signs a warrent they have to hand it over, and they can even get your data without a warrent its called EDR, emergency data request.
The only known chat platforms that dont share data is session.. Tele is somewhat safe but they do provide law enforcement with data if its related to terrorism.
Protonmail the link you posted prided themself on never sharing data, but over the last few years they have cooperated with europol, ive now moved to more secure mail servers.

Does weed actually make any one feel happy ?
what strains have got you closest?
lets find you something before opiates kill you bigga
Does weed actually make any one feel happy ?
Weird question but I always see cannabis as being used to improve mood, but I haven’t found a strain that makes me feel happy per say. Relaxed and content but not happy.
Maybe I’m setting the bar to high but the only drug ever that has done this are opiate type ones.
Has any one had a strain or type of bud that does this for them
Maybe I’m setting the bar to high but the only drug ever that has done this are opiate type ones.
Has any one had a strain or type of bud that does this for them
I have an overactive brain (thanks ADHD!) and weed is great for stopping my thoughts running at 1,000,000 MPH. I wouldn't say it makes me happy per se, but it gives me a much needed mental break from myself, haha.
Although different strains and types can have different effects, cannabis certainly does make me happy. But I do think it also depends on mood, time, place etc as it’s not a panacea. I have certain ‘go to’ products which are pretty reliable even on a really shit day but nothing is 100% guaranteed. All that said, fine tequila makes me happy too! 😊
I've only just discovered the difference between phenotypes of the same strain. I didn't know that seeds from the same parent will grow into plants that have different effects to their siblings. It's quite disappointing really as I've come across a few strains on here that I've really loved but when I've bought another batch of the same strain the effects have not been the same and has lacked those particular effects that i loved.
This is one of many many reason why there's no such thing as a strain for particular effects, or indica sativa etc for effects, i see people talking about it daily on here and it makes me cringe
it's all a nonsense and the quicker we get away from it the quicker we can progress towards helping medicinal patients
and to the OP, no, the price and hassle associated with attaining and consuming this incredible medicine kinda puts a downer on any joy experienced, also knowing i'm having to go through all this hassle and money to smoke mids while the government profits enormously from being the biggest exporter of medical cannabis in the world, whilst also deeming it illegal for anyone else in the country to do so.

Mimosa, gorilla zkittlez, tropical runtz, gorilla glue, Hindu Kush mate looks a lot but I only get small amounts as I do t use a lot at a time
The only drug I've ever felt true happiness on is mushrooms, but that happiness was from my spirit not from dopamine. I do like weed euphoria though, especially with alcohol
I usually just feel relaxed, but after a T-break I usually get euphoria the next 2-3 times I use it.
You have hit the nail on the head, when I get a new strain it’s like a new drug but quickly it all goes into relaxation

How to: Purchase Bitcoin anonymously, exchange currencies anonymously

How to: Purchase Bitcoin anonymously, exchange currencies anonymously
Hello everyone,
I've seen a few topics so far asking how to obtain BTC without KYC. I thought I'd make a topic to show a few ways / methods of doing so:
AgoraDesk
AgoraDesk is a cryptocurrency exchange established in the British Virgin Islands. People from several nations can trade their home currencies for Bitcoin or Monero at AgoraDesk (or call or put options for BTC or XMR).
Users are able to post advertisements where they state exchange rate and payment methods for buying or selling Bitcoin or Monero. You respond to these ads and agree to a transaction with the poster. When the parties have transacted and the seller has confirmed payment to AgoraDesk, AgoraDesk releases the BTC or XMR from the escrow account and sends it to the buyer. This solution by AgoraDesk allows the exchange to safely escrow the cryptos of any user without taking control of it.
AgoraDesk resembles an online shop or Ebay in many aspects for cryptocurrency. Investors at the exchange place various "ads" in which they quote a price for a particular cryptocurrency. This advertisement may be for purchasing, selling, or either of those actions. You can accept the offer if you, as another buyer or seller, believe it to be good.
HodlHodl
Hodl Hodl is a worldwide peer-to-peer Bitcoin trading platform that enables users to transact with one another directly. It does NOT retain user funds; instead, it locks them in multisig escrow. This cuts down on trade time and minimises the chance of Bitcoin assets theft.
HodlHodl is not subject to intricate compliance requirements because it does not keep any money (neither fiat nor bitcoin). This makes the trading platform KYC-free by enabling trades to take place directly between users' wallets without requiring users to reveal their identities.
Bitni.com
In order to make online transactions as convenient as in-person transactions, cryptocurrency was developed.
Bitni.com was established to uphold the original principles of cryptocurrencies, with a heavy emphasis on privacy, efficiency, and use.
Users can exchange various cryptocurrencies for a flat rate of 1%.

I've found a better site which has a great support team, as well as only a 0.5% exchange fee.
I've added a link to MajesticBank here. Very good if you're looking to clean your Crypto fast! (BTC to XMR to XMR to BTC.)

Any alternatives to Majestic Bank?
Used them a few times no issues. Sent £2000 and only got £1500 back. The support is useless, contacted them 6 times, said they will look into it but now not reading my messages. Scammed £500

Echo the thanks for this, really appreciated advice. Not sure if I did it right though cos I lost way more than expected in the process. It shows a flat $2 transaction fee on the majestic bank for BTC but it seemed to work out way more than that, I'm not sure if I did something wrong. Granted most of the losses were in mining fees from the wallet in the first place, but it seemed to be the exchanged rounded up/down quite significantly. Likely me being a cretin but thought I'd pick your brains. Cheers bud
There are a ton of questions on this issue. Does anyone have things to add to this thread? Would be good to grow the knowledge.
Hey Tony,
Well they ask for KYC, so if they wanted they could theoretically follow the BTC purchased with a card to what wallet it has gone to, so worst case scenario yes.
This can be avoided by putting your BTC through an exchange to XMR then send that XMR to another XMR wallet, then back into BTC through the exchange.
This can be done for a total of 1% of the value of the amount of crypto (0.5% x 2, if you were cleaning £1,000 you'd get £990 back with a clear history, which means it isn't linked to the card you paid for the BTC with.
All in all though this is the paranoid way about it. If you're buying personal use bits I wouldn't be worried, Law Enforcement aren't interested as they have bigger fish to fry.
However if you're a vendor this really should be your security standard as if you're turning your BTC to Fiat (like a good few vendors on here are) you'll ideally want a clean history on your Crypto. You'd be suprised how easy it is to trace your cashflow in crypto. If Transaxe has paid you X amount of BTC there will be a record of the wallet it came from, to where it was sent and you really don't want anyone knowing how much you have going through your wallets.
BTC - XMR - XMR - BTC is the way!
Hopefully this topic gains some more traction so others can follow suit and improve their OPSEC whilst they're at it.
Keep your self anonymous and use decentralised currencies to further anonymise yourself ;)

No worries Tony.
Completely mate, purchasing off any form of card is linking it to yourself. P2P is the way for purchasing BTC anonymously and with the help of sites like AgoraDesk and HodlHodl, this is now possible and easier than ever before! (Fees when purchasing BTC is highly likely, if you are OPSEC conscious I see this being worth it)

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

Picard Season 3
started topic
First series had amazing potential, then lost it near the end. The second series didn't really go anywhere plot wise? Needs more space ninjas.
Cannot disagree more. The first season only on paper had potential. Unfortunately Kurtzman (the genius behind the dumpster fire that was Discovery and more) made sure to put the kibosh on that potential. Between him, the writers and casting what we got was an offensive joke almost killing Captain Picard's legacy. Dumb poorly executed plot too.
The second season was barely just fine. By the skin of its teeth. Still hard to watch but not impossible.
Season 3 was leaps and bounds better than both previous seasons but that's not saying much. Worth a quick watch but I didn't like the twist personally.
The Orville is probably the closest you're going to get to classic Trek or maybe Lower Decks but thats animation.

I don't rate SNW at all. Nice premise but again producers, casting and writing are all way off. New Trek just doesn't have the same charm.
I did enjoy JJ Abraham's first 2 Trek films set in the Kelvin timeline though. For what they were.

why are btc transaction fees down now?
paid 30 satoshis, 1/10th of what it was in december. how is this possible?
It's always worse in December, btc had huge gains and traders can add it to their p and l if they sell before the end of the year.
It’s like saying “got caught in gridlocked traffic yesterday but today it wasn’t so bad, wonder why?” In this case it’s just transactional demand. The halving event expected this spring will sustain a lot of volatility…
Hi Polly
I'm no expert in crypto but from the little reading I've done the increase in fees is due to the explosion in traffic.
I bought a micro vape from Psychonauts end of last week (30th of Dec) as I could foresee them selling out fast and it took 22 hours for the coin to reach transaxe.
The increase in traffic is supposedly linked to bitcoin ordinal NFTs but crypto biggas will surely correct my statement if wrong.
Cheers

Are fees still high Polly? Bought a couple of weeks before Xmas and it was something like £15 on top of a £100 order.
I’ve got an order from the Druids to pay for tomorrow so hoping it’s come down a bit :(

Hey Tony, according to this tracker fees are averaging a little under $12 so I guess we might be under £10?

Ok cheers Polly. I hope bittylicious comes up trumps then.
Probably have to do the transaction at 0300am to make sure I can get the quietest and cheapest time to do it.

I've been trying to buy since before Xmas. Bittylicious fees not too bad but network fee to send to LB is currently between £16-£20. Which is ridiculous 🙄
A while back we would have screamed blue murder at £13 fees. Now it’s a cause for celebration 🤷♂️
As always due to the daft ‘no dates on comments’ this site implements I’m not sure when this was posted - but they’re still high on Coinbase. I just got stuffed £18 on top of a £120 order. Still better then the £35 it asked for in December. Harsh man 🤯

Dear Zachary Documentary
Nice list :)
If you are into Asian Extreme then there is also
Ichi the Killer
The Chaser
I Saw The Devil
Mother (2009)
The Wailing
Thirst (2009, not really extreme but I like it)
Memories of Murder
A tale of 2 sisters (though that freaks me out more than martyrs for some reason and just confused me, I should try watching it again)
I really like the Brazilan film Bacurau
For nihilist stuff like kill list there is also Traders (2015), Barry Keoghan has always unnerved me since.

this is a clip from mr designer, a soviet film about building immortality with wax mannequins.
Does any other "older" bigga here find it hard to be scared by films now? I used to love a good chiller back in the day. Now I'm 67, have access to the whole wonders of cable and the web, but any supposed "horror" I watch leaves me cold. Not trying to sound "old and wise" believe me, but every movie in that category I end up feeling "meh".
At 52 I thought I’d seen it all, not been scared for a long long time but then I saw Martyrs and whilst it didn’t scare me like Halloween did when I was much younger, it’s such a visceral experience that it’s become one of my favourite movies. Just don’t make the mistake of watching the US remake, it’s shit.
Never heard of Martyrs so just looked it up. Jeez that sounds heavy and dark! Will check it out some time. 👍
Nocturnal animals messed my head up more than any horror has done in a while. A lot of horror I like has to be more based on an interesting premise like martyrs, though a lot of horror made is targeted for PG-13 as that can command a box office so the films are more gore based but lack the total brain fuck.
It depends what you want from horror and also you possibly need to empathize with the victims. The American version of the ring I decided I was on the side of Samara so I turned it off. I like the Japanese version as it has a sombre ambience. Jump scares get very tiring very quickly and tune me out, though some only like jump scares as it is more popcorn.
You have to say what types of films you used to enjoy. If you want nasty I would put funny games above martyrs as martyrs actually has a reason. Funny games is just pure sadism. Martyrs I put off for a long while, I really enjoyed it when I watched it as the premise is very bizarre.
The Ritual was pretty enjoyable.

American Werewolf in London watched it when I was 6 and scared the shit out of me for weeks, love it now prob best horror ever.
here's some good ones that you might not have heard of all are amazing and worth a watch, you wouldn't be disappointed.
Apocalypto, would you rather, hostel series, saw series, also depends on what sort of horror you like but apocalypto is the best out of them all.

let me know what you think It's old but one of the best films I've ever seen. It's subtitled if you can get over that but its the movie itself that hooks you not much talking in it.
It's a mel gibson one too.

Not so much a movie, but the last series of Black Mirror saw a slight deviation in its final episode, rebranding as Red Mirror, a full on horror focused strand.
Demon 79, its debut offering is an absolute blast, up there with some of the best Black Mirror episodes.
Well worth checking out.

I exclusively watch horror movies all through October. My standards for horror movies are different than other genre's. Show me something a little bit different and I'll consider it worth the watch.
I try and watch a mixture of new and old stuff throughout the month. So far there has been a clear winner in terms of what I've thought about most after watching.
Talk to me (2022)
I watched about 40 seconds of a 2minute trailer and decided ok I'm in and wouldn't advise knowing any more than that coming in. Now the movie didn't scare me in any way but it did have an incredibly visceral reaction on me to the point of having to look away several times and literally dreading what was coming next. As someone who doesn't think of themselves as squimish in the slightest I can't think the last time a movie did that to me.
Also I found out watching that the guys started out as Youtubers who I actually watched a bunch of their stuff back in the day. Which was really surprising because it does feel like a really confident movie and the chemistry/dialogue between characters is actually way better than a lot of big budget movies.

Hostel or paranormal activity are a couple of my favs.
Although im a bit of a woosy when it comes to watching any horror lol

There's a Turkish horror movie called Baskin which has some of the most messed up scenes I've watched. It's pretty slow to get going but when the fun starts, it goes crazy very quickly.

You're a hard act to follow
Christmas Joke’s
Hey everyone I need a laugh so give me your best Christmas themed joke! The dirtier and darker the better for me however I’m also partial to a stupid anti-joke 😂 but all are welcome!
Ill go first;
Q: What’s the difference between Tiger Woods and Santa?
A: Santa was smart enough to stop at three Hoe’s!
I remember laying in bed as a kid waiting for Santa to come..✨…
There was always an awkward silence as he got dressed and left.
😂

Ancient Aliens
uh huh the Primary Amazons
I think its more likely that there was an ancient civilisation that was as advanced as us if not more so.
Its a good shout. I'm open to both sides being alien influenced and developing the skills ourselves...
If they had no outside influences maybe they were just differently advanced to us.. We have gone down the tech route but maybe they had something else..
Whatever that is (accessing or opening parts of the brain/consciousness etc etc) They were able to move, mold, drill and create huge structures 12,000 years plus ago... which still blows our minds troday!

The fact that we didn't even have the technology or understanding 100 years ago to measure some of the precision granite boxes in egypt to the degree of accuracy in which they were built thousands of years ago, just makes it even more laughable that we're still being sold this outdated story of history... but yeah copper chisels and slaves? absolute embarrassment that this is still being taught / believed
i believe the beings that left these structures and artifacts behind and the purpose behind them will always be outside our realm of comprehension
we like to think we're an advanced intelligent species but the reality is so far from that, 99% of the earths population is just unthinking egotistical monkeys gorping at smartphones looking for the next tyrant to ironically venerate! fucking failing species.

Read some of Graham Hancock’s work or furthermore listen to the book of Enoch (the watchers), it’s not for everyone but a fascinating listen all the same. I have also been looking at the Megalithic masonry it’s mind boggling, Puzzle!
Graham Hancock's books are amazing! There are some great vids on YouTube as well!.. Randall Carlson and Dr Robert Schoch are also worth a look as well.
Ancient Aliens has some good bits... and frustrating bits... but more of a fun watch than serious information.. lol.
Also, another good channel to watch on Youtube is Bright Insight: https://www.youtube.com/c/BrightInsight

I do have believe in ancient aliens especially in regards to The Pyramids construction.
I do like a bit of conspiracy too... lies buried in a library of History... Or His Story

How today are we still being taught that things like the Sphinx were built by Pharaoh Khufu.. The erosion alone is enough to show its far far older than this plus the fact there isn't one document or hieroglyph to confirm its.. All that comes from some graffiti of his name found on some walls...
But to be fair... I believe kids are still taught that Christopher Columbus Discovered America.lol haha

There is a pod cast with Joe Rogan and Bob Lazar. Bob had mentioned that the craft he was working on was dug out of the ground. Speculating it had been buried for hundreds of thousands of years.
It was a very compelling pod cast.

Early man has been around for over 3 million years. Homosapiens around 300,000 years. And yet the earliest academically accepted signs of structured society is around 9000 years. Calling BS there. I believe the reset button was hit on society during the Dryas period (series of meteors that caused cataclysmic events) around 13,000 years ago. If we want to find many of the old cities we would have to look under water.
As for what tech could move blocks of stone weighing 80 tons up a mountain, I believe the answer lies in acoustic levitation. Many of the stories passed down by tribes talk of noises akin to large trumpets lifting stones. It's believed the Tibetan monks still retain this ability. In my opinion N. Tesla had also discovered the secrets of acoustics.
Not even got to the aliens bits yet. Apologies if this reads garbled, I'm writing it with covid and trying to articulate many thoughts at once.

Also I believe the Sahara has a lot of things waiting to be excavated as well as the oceans 👍
My view is to look up and watch “ ancient aliens debunked “
https://topdocumentaryfilms.com/ancient-aliens-debunked/
It makes great imaginative materials for people who don’t know any better.
That includes me by the way;)

Thought I'd add my own two cents into this.
I respect everyone's own view and opinions on the matter just wanted to make that clear.
I watched a debunk documentary by two men named Michael Hieser and Chis White and it truly blew my mind. It's extremely interesting, factual and I would recommend watching the whole thing. If anyone wants to watch it here's the link:

Hope every one is doing well in these trying times also!

I really don't know. I've watched documentaries on the theory but haven't made my mind up. I love hearing about alternative views though so I'm going to try Joe Rogan's podcasts mentioned in the conversation. It's kind of fun presenting theories like that to people you know are staunch nonbelievers. I like the reactions you get. I guess I'm open minded about that kind of thing until I get a first hand experience that confirms or denies it.
I'm sure if I was some ancient alien leaving buildings on some other planet I'd be back to check on them. What's the reasoning for these aliens just leaving little hints around the place?
I think the simplest answer is most likely the truth, there wasn't any aliens. People built stuff that looks odd because people are odd.

Ancient people didnt just build odd stuff, they built intricately designed structures with mathematical precision
This is what make me think there was never aliens but a previous global civilisation that were more technologically advanced than the history books tell us. The evidence they left behind is to real.
We aren’t devolving, that would mean our genome is going back in time;). We are just evolving to a less intelligent, less independent state of being;)
Maybe they were just really good at maths paired with having a real sense of pride and discipline in their work😂😂, our advancements have brought us technology but their advancements gave them skill and intellect , plenty of ancient Greek mathematicians, who's to say the Egyptians didn't do it better ? 😂
Merry Christmas 2023 all !!

The evidence is everywhere. See the religious texts and reference to ships of light, fairy folklore Etc All the same phenomena but through different lenses in my opinion. Look for the books by Jacques Vallee. Unacknowledged on Netflix is worth a watch too.
You're taking text from 3000 years ago, and using that as your "evidence."
What about the bible, that must all be true too?
What about the bible, that must all be true too?
Agreed the bible is not something to take literally.lol. but we need to learn to read in between the lines. Try to put yourself back thousands of years ago.. how would we describe a flying saucer (if it happened) without knowing such things or materials existed... Giant bird in the sky? etc..
I'm not religious at all... but what i found interesting is most religions/cultures describe a great flood happening around the same time, which we now have physical evidence for.. So yes, we cannot rely on all the ancient text, but who knows.. some of it may have some interesting clues...
I believe something has had to have happened.. Either we have been given all this knowledge by an external source... or there were very advanced civilzations in a part of history that has been forgotten or hidden...
To put into perspective Gobekli Tepe is dated as far back as 12000 years ago yet people were only supposed to still be hunter gathers at this time.. (strange)
Also, Cleopatra was closer to the invention of the iphone than the building of that site..... Mad when you think about it.. so what we classify as ancient e.g. Romans etc. might not be as old as we think!!
The main problem is that non of us was there.lol. So I cant say for sure either way if it was Aliens or not... All I know is that its mystery and i love getting baked and watching vids on it. hahaha

Okay perhaps the term ‘evidence’ is too strong when referring to old texts. just offering my opinion on this phenomena which may or may not be ‘aliens’.
Check out the recent videos released by the US Navy I.e. tic tac and Gimbal. Also the many reports with multiple credible witnesses.

Party pooper time, apologies in advance haha - there is no evidence for any ancient aliens or any ancient advanced/unknown civilisation. Not a single person with relevant qualifications believes so. Graham Hancock is a (really bad) journalist and snake oil salesman, real anthropology is more interesting than any of this fictional nonsense. Merry Christmas 😊.
Bah humbug lol 😉💚
To say Graham Hancock is snake oil salesman though is a bit over the top. IMO lol.. 😜
Is he right, who knows lol. But What’s wrong with talking about possible reasons for things that haven’t been figured out yet.. e.g. who made these things, how were they made and why? Especially when we have no idea ourselves how these certain things came to be..
Also, I think it’s healthy to have such discussions, instead of being told that’s the way things are and don’t ask questions.. when we actually have no idea..
Goblekli Tepe is a good start for evidence of a lost civilisation.. Before it was discovered and properly dated, we thought there were nothing but hunter gathers around at that time… We were told these people lived a very simple life with no means or evidence of being able to create such things.. yet here they are..
To say so confidently that there was no other ancient civilisation is an educated guess but… Who knows! Especially after discovering the major cataclysmic event 12000 odd years ago which flooded and destroyed a lot of the planet (for a long ass time!)
There are a number of places, structures and pottery which we would struggle to make today, even with the use of modern tech.., so there has to be something we are missing…
Also, to say we know everything already though just shows how arrogant the human race has become… Things change with time and new evidence comes to light over the years… so why not be open minded about things.. 🤷♂️

If any one is interested I would recommend checking out uncharted x (link above to one of his vids) His channel has some great in depth looks at all these crazy stone/granite blocks and the insane precision or mind baffling moulding that went on.

It’s a fun discussion man, and a really cool idea. Believe me I’m a want to believer haha.
Göbekli Tepe is super interesting, but it is essentially just an arrangement of carved stones right? Aye the arrangement might be celestial in nature and it’s really cool, and there was a little bit of settlement, but that doesn’t scream advanced civilisation to me. These guys had a lot of time on their hands to watch the sky and learn how to work stone. What you’d want to see is cities, human remains, advanced tools and weapons. The same goes for the pyramids and stone henge, there are no real mysteries here I’m afraid. How these structures were built is pretty well understood other than a couple of relatively minor elements of the building process (like the upper ramp system for the great pyramid for example). For some reason people keep buying the ancient mystery ticket, and frauds like Hancock milk it. His catchphrase is “things keep getting older”, and he’s right, it’s super interesting. That’s where the hard facts end and the twisted ones begin. Check out the MANY debunking videos on the yootubes.
It might seem harmless but it undermines the actual science man, to me the truth is better than fiction. If this shit interests you, check out what’s going on with Homo Naledi atm, way cooler than any “what ifs?” Imo.
I’m a big JRE fan btw haha, I want to like these theories but I just can’t. I think it’s almost entirely woowoo.

It is a fun discussion buddy and it’s nice to be able to chat about all theories and beliefs! No matter which side you fall on 🙂
That’s right Göbekli Tepe is made up of many stone megaliths weighing up to 50 tons and 16ft high! But this is just a small proportion of the site. LIDAR has discovered multiple much larger version surrounding it, which would be amazing to look at! And make it a giant site!! But sadly it’s not allowed to be excavated..
Some of these giant megaliths also have 3D like sculptures of animals protruding from them. The crazy thing is they aren’t stuck on.. rather carved from the actual megalith. Which in its self is a great feat of knowledge and skill! Especially with the tools available at the time and the very limited knowledge these hunter gathers had on stone masonry.. So who made and moved all these of many many stones?
Has the pyramid mystery been figured out? To be able to move (from far distances) and hoist 100 plus ton support blocks is crazy! Let alone the rest of the build lol. If a ramp was used it would have to of been miles n miles n miles nmiles long lol. Or the way they say the stone blocks were cut for example. That method has been tested and it took them days I think to just get X amount of millimetres deep!
I don’t think Egyptians said anything about them building them either. No writings or descriptions in any way have been found except some graffiti.. which I believe was found crudely etched into it the walls which had King Khufu s name.
Also it would of taken a crazy crazy amount of slaves.. but where are all the tools and waste etc that they would of left behind.. don’t think it’s been found…
There was never any kings or queens discovered there either (even though it’s called the kings chamber etc)
There are a few other mysteries in Egypt like the giant granite sarcophagus’s. They somehow managed to get them deep underground, make them perfectly smooth and symmetrical weighing tens of tons! Mind blowing.🤯
Or the granite or solid hard stone vases I linked in my last post. These have been tested in a lab using lasers to measure them and they are almost perfect in every way! Which at the time would of been impossible to do due to strength of the stone and the tools available wouldn’t of been able to be that accurate or smooth..
There are also giant statues etc where the feet alone are bigger than a human, or giant obelisks… or even potential machining marks!
Could keep going but I’m boring myself right now lol. Plus I find it hard to write long form after too much Christmas food n drink 😂
Thanks for posting those links 👍 will check them out as always open to new theories I’ve not discovered yet 👊💚

Yo man, hope you had a good Christmas.
Yeah I share your enthusiasm for this stuff for sure, we clearly have a common interest and it’s cool that we can discuss it in a friendly way.
It’ll probably not shock you to find out that I’m not an archaeologist or a structural engineer haha. But, there are many videos etc made by archaeologists and structural engineers explaining exactly how the pyramids were built, it’s just that Hancock and Co conveniently ignore them. They’re out there for you to look at man, no mysteries (or very few). Same goes for the writings about the pyramids, I think there are quite a few and they (at least once) referred to the great pyramid as the “Horizon of Khufu”, which is pretty cool imo. Again, I’ve never heard Hancock and Co reference these examples.
On Gobekli Tepe, I did not mean to downplay its importance to real anthropology/archeology. It definitely pushes the envelope back a bit, and many real anthropologists think the envelope will be pushed back further. But we’re not talking about some truly breathtaking advances here. They could clearly work stone and clearly had a strong enough community for such a structure to be built or even wanted in the first place. It clearly had significance to them and was added to over centuries etc etc. None of this was expected given the age of the site, which is exciting. A semi nomadic group or groups of hunter gatherers could work stone pretty well and form core belief structures and shit, that’s cool af as it is! What more could be discovered at that site? What other sites are there out there? Genuinely exciting shit. But we don’t need Hancock and his fantastical ramblings in order to understand it all bro.
Who do you really trust? The completely unqualified journalist (sociology degree, close-ish but no cigar), who has written as much self proclaimed fiction as he has “non-fiction”, who completely misrepresents the evidence and directly ignores anything he doesn’t like. Or, the centuries old network of experts and educational institutions dedicated to the study of ancient civilisations, made up of thousands of free thinking individuals who’d all love to reveal the scoop of the century and rake in the big bucks?
Yeah I share your enthusiasm for this stuff for sure, we clearly have a common interest and it’s cool that we can discuss it in a friendly way.
It’ll probably not shock you to find out that I’m not an archaeologist or a structural engineer haha. But, there are many videos etc made by archaeologists and structural engineers explaining exactly how the pyramids were built, it’s just that Hancock and Co conveniently ignore them. They’re out there for you to look at man, no mysteries (or very few). Same goes for the writings about the pyramids, I think there are quite a few and they (at least once) referred to the great pyramid as the “Horizon of Khufu”, which is pretty cool imo. Again, I’ve never heard Hancock and Co reference these examples.
On Gobekli Tepe, I did not mean to downplay its importance to real anthropology/archeology. It definitely pushes the envelope back a bit, and many real anthropologists think the envelope will be pushed back further. But we’re not talking about some truly breathtaking advances here. They could clearly work stone and clearly had a strong enough community for such a structure to be built or even wanted in the first place. It clearly had significance to them and was added to over centuries etc etc. None of this was expected given the age of the site, which is exciting.

Yo dude. Had. A lovely one thanks hope you did too 💚
Any theory on how the pyramids were built are just that… a theory. We have nothing to go from except educated guesses. But these guesses still don’t explain how they raised 100 plus ton blocks as supporting megaliths, how they managed to get blocks or megaliths to join with not even a millimetre gap (which you can’t even fit a piece of paper in) or mould SOLID granite megaliths into curves, create vases so accurately symmetrical that the only way to do this now is using tech, those giant granite sarcophagus, etc etc etc..
With Gobekli tepe they are now having to re write history.. Before this discovery we thought hunter gathers had no idea how to do such things… but we still have no evidence they could.. The animal sculptures haven’t been properly explained, and saying oh, well, they must of been more advanced than we thought then.. still doesn’t explain anything..
Whether it’s aliens, lost cultures or something else… I have no idea…😂 but what we do know is there are mysteries out there that have not been solved! And there are gaps,, and just saying they could have just done it like this etc without testing such things is just a guess.
Would love to see modern people using only the tools provided back then create these things again.. (look how far they got with trying to cut the stone using old methods)
Also other mainstream geologist are coming out and saying that due to weathering a lot of these places are far older than we ever thought.. 🤯
I’m open to all ideas as non of it can be completely proved.. but to say we know confidently how all this is done IMO isn’t correct.
👊

The majority of history is “just a theory”, man. The key is who is doing the theorising. Actual experts have solid “theories” on how these things were built with the tools available, it’s just that nobody wants to listen to them. They prefer mysterious fantasy. I don’t claim to know anything, other than there is literally zero evidence of a super advanced ancient civilisation, which doesn’t mean that there wasn’t one. But I’m also not claiming that the entire academic community is wrong, which is pretty much as arrogant as you can get.
Please check out that Stefan Milo video, I think you’d like it.

Downvoted! Gutted haha. Believe me, I don’t like being the skeptic type guy. But it’s hard not to be when you start taking an interest in real life archeology/anthropology.
This is long but well worth a watch, Stefan Milo goes through each episode of Hancock’s Netflix show and explains why he’s wrong in a really nice, non-patronising way. You could watch it, but YouTube has a downvote button too so you could always just do that haha.

Infinite universe= infinite possibilities… can’t rule it out mate?
Also like SMorgan said likely we were way more advanced back then than the ‘take with a pinch of salt’txt books would like us to believe! All that knuckle dragging cave man crap🥸🤭

It seems plausible with the stuff that they show on tv, although is that the stuff I was blazing making it out to be??
The evidence has been left all around the world. For what ever reasons it is not taught in schools. Why is that? Hmmmm...
Look at this for an example of evidence ....

Thats just some YouTube video showing some mayan stuff with some creepy music in the background...that is not evidence.
Aliens 👽 are real, here and present they have been around on planet earth for centuries although they haven’t disclosed themselves to the masses… they are beings with souls just like us… I met two white aliens in a lucid dream it was surreal. They said nothing but we’re friendly and made me tea 😂😂
As with aliens in general, it's not impossible and is most likely true but nobody has presented any good evidence so far

Plantz vs zombies is pretty cool shooting but funny guns no blood or stuff but still plants killing zombies so violence 😆Or voodoo vince not sure still available 🤔
Unravel and Unravel 2 are really good puzzle platformers and the second you can play two player on one console. Ori games as well. All on gamepass if you have it
I LOVED viva pinata!! It was on 360 but think it’s backward compatible for current generation.
I'm not to sure if it's still in the store or how old the people are whose going to play but I used to love to play Doritos Crash Course with the fam. It's basic but we had fun!
Rocket league it's free. Online. make a family team and go beat some kids at car soccer.
Also tetris connected maybe . both have lil violence.
Also tetris connected maybe . both have lil violence.

"the economy or social conditions which our ancestors would have killed for"
They literally died trying
Today's World
Posting this here as I need a conversation on it. Any time I try to speak to people in reality I'm met with a reaction that I'm a conspiracy theorist. But I can't be the only one who is finding less joy or hope in the world. I have felt like Littlebiggy is one of the last places you get any decent service or consideration from people.
People don't care about other people's lives anymore and this has been very notable since the pandemic. Society is completely non existent a part from what is on people's phones. I don't see anyone I know making plans together as much. I feel a distinct lack of joy from the majority people I meet. I try and be sociable as I have always been but the ignorance makes me question this approach.
Am I alone in thinking this??? or have I needed to consider a T break long ago. I don't plan on giving up as weed is a mainstay that helps me but probably
I think too deeply at times.
To sum up, this seems to be the easy period of history for humans to survive as life is easier but that doesn't mean it is any better. Technology is making us all individuals and it is making me lose hope. I remember people being more fun and actually caring about others. Don't see that much or at all now.
Please discuss 😆

“Loss of Hope” is a very real condition and is hugely responsible for modern freakish levels of depression, anxiety and suicide.
Faith and trust have been eroded. The pandemic shone a harsh light on the weakness and ineptitude of global governance and our institutions. We feel helpless and vulnerable to future crisis, be it economic, health, mass migration or climate change.
In the Western world, democracy is failing us and capitalism actually IS eating itself.
Ambition seems drained. I know young people who don’t only have no idea what they want to do but can’t decide if that matters. Amongst older people I know ‘Quiet Quitters’- those who boast of doing the very minimum required to not actually be fired, normally working from home that they now insist is an entitlement. I know people adept at crafting lives on benefits.
As a result I think people deciding they need to ‘look after #1’, and whilst this may sound like a noble intention it manifests itself as getting whatever you can and gaming the system. He who stores the most toilet rolls during a shortage ‘Wins’!
Lack of trust breeds cynicism and disrespect. Conspiracy theories rage across the plague of social media. Ultimately we feel helpless- we know The Storm is coming but we don’t know how to stop or even influence it.
So how do we cope? zz87 gives a great list of examples. Sometimes we have to get out of our own way and out of our own heads and do things just for others (which of course I don’t do nearly enough).
There really are huge benefits to unplugging devices and listing what is good right now in our lives. During a few hard times I’ve asked myself “what are the things I really enjoy most in life?” and then relentlessly pursued those even when shamelessly hedonistic. I still find old friends hugely therapeutic- probably because we only talk about the old times!😂
And I get high every day. And drink fine tequila. And know one person loves me. All of which make me happy…😍

This might not apply to you since you said you try to be sociable but a lot of people spend too much time online and I think any bigga struggling with the modern world should consider that. Stay away from the internet! (except for littlebiggy ofcourse! haha).
Just live your own life, your life is small, your life isn't a global network of american-led idiots who have formed a virtual mob to have a faux opinion on everything that doesn't involve them so don't worry about those losers and go outside and live that nice life that you're dreaming of.
Don't let your life be all about work/money either slow things down whenever you get the chance. Walk by a river, go to the countryside, go to the beach, go to a museum, go to a library, a walking tour, a sports event, an art class, join a hobby club, volunteer, plant some seeds, get on a train or a bus to nowhere... go do real life outside things and notice the people who don't have a phone in their hand, those are your new friends. There's still lots of nice, friendly caring people out there, they just don't have social media accounts.
Also if you can join an environmental group near you; litter picking, river cleaning, beach combing, tree planting, biodiversity conservation, there is always something worthwhile to be done. Some people will huff and roll their eyes at that but if you want to feel good then do good... that's all I say I'm not preaching.
Either that or sit in your filth and misery and join the internet mob in raising your blood pressure by virtually yelling at clouds.... there are no right or wrong answers its your life!
I wrote this as a reminder to myself as much as anything else btw... go get on with your own life ZZ! :)

i would agree with most of these sentiments but perhaps it's more like the depression of an aged society than the environment.
- poverty is as its lowest point in human history.
- less people dying from war than any point in human history.
- access to travel, entertainment and even fashion are at their highest point in human history.
there is something going on for sure but it's deeper than the economy or social conditions which our ancestors would have killed for.

I love the ‘Data vs Vibe’ debate at the moment. We can use data to tell us anything we want, but eventually we have to look up from the graphs and out of the window! 🤓😎

You read Steven Pinker I guess? Aside from his methodology being suspect, his thing hinges on confirmation bias ala Fukuyama; just because it hasn't happened yet don't mean it won't. We have the weaponry to make WW2 look like Disneyland. Even with the conventional, Rwanda managed 500000 in 2 months.
And bread and circuses are as old as the hills. Rick Owens don't make nuclear winter proof clothes.

Polly touched on something that I found to be hugely beneficial and that is helping others as much as you can.
Even if it’s only your own circle of friends/family start there and work outwards, help a local charity or whatever you can do to help someone local in need…
Do what you can to help others less fortunate is something I live by and there are loads of ways you can do that that don’t need explanation, you’re adults you can work it out! :)
Also, I got rid of any social media crap apps a few years ago and it’s such a relief not to check the bloody phone for hours on end staring vacantly at a screen.
Get out and about, go for a walk with your loved ones or even just on your own for half an hour makes a huge difference.
Physical exercise is also really important. I usually run a few times a week and as I’m in my mid 50s I’m almost the same weight I was when I was 18 which is incredible, and that’s down to exercise and another really important element - eating healthily.
Take regular breaks from imbibing, I’m on an enforced one at the moment as picked up a nasty chest infection. It does wonders to abstain from indulgence once on a while. It cleans out the mind and keeps you fresh. Also try and drink lots of water every day at least 4 litres if you can although 2 is fine, you’ll be surprised at how much dehydration affects your physical well-being.
Smile. Smile when your talk to people or if you make eye contact (generally) I’m not talking about grinning like an idiot at folks, that liable to get you some funny looks!
Read a book, I also try not to watch the news so much on tv. Try and read trusted news sources either in print or online.
Don’t watch garbage tv.
Try and create! If you enjoy drawing or painting or have something you can physically ‘do’ is such a useful de stresser.
The key to happiness for me is how I treat others. Simples

People are more callous, many are brought up from childhood to be like that.
The elite are rushing their plans through and it's causing a lot of folks to notice.
There's less money going around now, more stress in the world, America is being systematically destroyed from the inside like many western countries.
Don't let your identity be what you consume or wear, smoke the herb and enjoy it, try appreciating nature, get out and breath the good air, don't be around people that suck the life from you.

I think weed allows you to question everything you see and hear. Again, probably too much at times but it is worrying what is going on.
My "bubble" is ok and makes me happy but it's the interactions I have with others out with that which leave me drained. Conversations present as a struggle for most and there's just a lack of interest shown to anybody.
I envy the era my parents grew up in. There was no money then too but at least people had a bit about them, style, music etc

Mark Twain once said history doesn't repeat itself it often rhymes. I like that. I think life has a rhythm to it, we just have to figure ours out.
I got 'bit' when i was in my late teens, and have been a Christian all that time, it helps, China has a social status system in place, it could be worse, least we can buy what we want.

When you are told how to think and what to do, and this is policed you are dealing with a cult.
That cult is ran by legacy media, the associated press which is directed and supervised by state tentacles.
No NGO is really independent and all wrong think means that you don't deserve any due process.
Look at the Brand situation. Without talking about whether he is guilty or not (which I really have no opinion on yet as nobody really can) - don't you think it's all a bit weird to come out now? It wreeks of a psyop but interestingly i don't think it's about him.
It's about seeing if 50% of people are OK with the state punitively cancelling his prosperity with their sway before he has had a fair trial.
And it seems, that like always, the unwitting enablers of throwing out due process are the progressives screaming only for Brand's blood. Ironically the same ones that absolutely loved him when he was being overtly sexist in 2010.
It stinks to high heaven. The lot of it. I'm done trying to convince anyone. we are 100% at 1984.

Permar crisis, there is constantly something up.
It’s as if the human race is at the precipice of a huge event, you just look through history and the signs that are left following the extinction of advanced civilisation most of the time wiped out by nature or an asteroid.
The only difference now is we are now capable of wiping ourselves out.
Like who knows, maybe the reasons of all this heightened UAP stuff happening maybe extraterrestrial are aware we are close to another mass extinction and are just closely monitoring.
But I guess the reason people’s fun has been taken away is because more and more people are waking up to the fact that they are working their arses off to make richer people rich. A lot of people can’t afford a meal, the fact that I see more people who sell drugs donating to food banks than the corporations that don’t give a duck but pretend to do so.
Dystopia is here, buckle up, light a joint, look after your loved ones it’s gonna be a wild ride!

Dystopia is here, buckle up, light a joint, look after your loved ones it’s gonna be a wild ride!
Agree there's something happening soon. We're constantly getting educated through tv, social media. Edgy humour has gone, we are all too serious for that now
I can’t write anything as well put but yep it’s all going to shit, but I’m hoping this is just a process the elite are crumbling. I’ve been watching closely and do believe consciousness is rising on the planet at the moment and the end for them is near now that’s why they are scrambling round being as evil and money grabbing as they possibly can. Look up the age of Aquarius it’s not just a spiritual point in time but our planet has now shifted into a different atmosphere, very cool.
Is it possible that our " vibrations are being manipulated?
Surrounded by WiFi, 5g, 440hz, radio etc. All of them in wave like structures, energy in motion.
Traumatic news, concerns of the future, war and all that jazz, messing with our vibe.
Is it possible to raise our vibrations?
I really don't know the answer. Some people swear by it and others mockingly laugh and call it woowoo.
With that being said, and, taking on board other people's suggestions, I find joy, peace, oneness with the freeness of being outdoors (natural, helpful substances are recommended) the place to be.
I hold the view that, in a complex way, we are all interconnected. Cat, cow or banana we all have the same origin.
I belive we have lost our sense to be human. "A point of perspective with an infinite source of wisdom" as Robert E.Grant put it. And, it seems, nobody really seems to see whats going on. Or do they?
Again, i have no answers but the more I see, the more i cannot unsee.
On that note, I recommend taking a look at his simulation theory vid on YT just to see if anything resonates.

One thing I find also. The more focus you put on it, the more you see it or attract it. Sometimes you can recognise a side of you as it. Lessons can be learned. Energy goes where energy flows.

inactive/disappeared vendor
Anyway to get my dispute settled early in the case of an inactive/disappeared vendor? Vendor promised to ship an NDD on monday and has not been on LB since (3 days without logging on). They are also presumably still taking orders (I know customers should be observant, but thats not always the case) which is not a good reflection on LB.
Victims of suspected fraud get a 100% refund normally quickly after the account has been flagged. I think this vendor had the flag removed so it back to stage one. Looks like you’ll have to use the normal dispute process (via your order page from Day 9).
Good luck👍

Sounds like a very familiar situation with my vendor, could be the same one. 🤔
Flagged as a fraudulent account a couple weeks ago, makes an apologetic post about how they haven't been well so given the benefit of the doubt, sent 100 squids to the vendor last week for guaranteed ndd for an item they listed as in stock, sent me a message the day of the order saying out of stock will definitely send on Monday. Since when they have decided to go on another holiday and not opening or replying to my 4 messages 😂🤣🤣
Bloody ridiculous. Only a couple more days till a dispute can be raised. Should have taken the hint by the big red fraudulent account writing at the top of their profile 🙄
Either way we learn 👍

Snap. Never had a vendor blatantly lie to me before on here. Poor comms sometimes, poor product sometimes, poor stealth sometimes. But never actual lies. I dont understand the point in it either as obviously disputes will be raised and people will (or should) get their coin back eventually.

Someone did it a few years ago, I don’t think they’re active anymore but they would post a drop box link and it would be a video of them showing off the bud and talking about it, they’d even get the magnifying glass out.
It's a great idea. Basically get paid in smoke to show off the best of what LB has to offer.
I think a tip jar of some kind would be in order too.

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

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

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
https://cannabiswealth.co.uk/2022/03/30/inflation-affecting-cannabis-market/
when have you ever gone to your dealer and he's said "sorry mate that quarter is going to cost you an extra tenner today because of inflation"... that's just not how inflation works in relation to cannabis

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.

there's some shite thinking here but if i take the proposal literally as "a more stable / suitable currency and or pricing" then yeah. not sure how that would work though.
there's some shite comments as well... unbelievable some people.. sorry for being the only person to actually get traction on this topic and start making much needed changes on here mate...
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
calling this 'shite' without giving any reason why, or actually contributing a good idea, what use is that?

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.
Do you not think vendors deserve to make a living??

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??

fair enough, this is a free market and people set their own prices and you sir are a market leader.
yet everything you say proves that this initiative will not save anyone a cent.

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

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.
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.

Hey Hesh
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

BTW BIGGAS THE ONLY POSTS THAT NEED VOTES IN THIS TOPIC IS THE ONE POST THAT SAYS "FOR" WITH NO OTHER WORDS
AND THE OTHER POST THAT SAYS "AGAINST" WITH NO OTHER WORDS
the rest of the posts are opinions / debates!
the result of this initiative is decided by the FOR or AGAINST votes as explained by the initiative borg!
Thank every single one of you for your input especially the vendors who have already made changes to their pricing to try and help with this situation <3

Thank every single one of you for your input especially the vendors who have already made changes to their pricing to try and help with this situation <3
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

It’s because of people like you that I will go into BB mode and set any sales on my page to private password only
Since this is a new product you can’t have ordered it before
Twigs and leaves? Are you having a laugh?
Messaged us? We don’t ignore NO MESSAGES and we reply within 5 min of most.
I am going to message Clean up borg to get that trash off my page.
Another vendor or straight up saboteur.

In my experience Prime has one of THE best Comms on here.
He's honest, up front and makes a huge effort to help his fellow biggas.
Read the reviews, he even sent a stranger a package when he read the guy was in dire straits. I honestly can't believe this 1/10 review to be true and would be surprised if it was a real customer.
Keep up the excellent service Prime.
You will have enough regular customers without this hassle
Grá mór ❤️🤙🏼

As for the quality all nice flower and all overweight great promo deal
Would highly recommend this vendor to all 🫡

why are you broadcasting an effective way to screw down your business? you wanna delete this post
No, it’s fine, I don’t rob anyone, I offer a great service and for a great price.
I have great communication, any issues I take care of it;
I have been sabotaged before, it damages business,
Since I am only exclusively growing now (instead of buying wholesale and reselling) my product is going to advertised well before hand and who ever wants to buy and message for a password: this will be reminded closer to the grow drops
Next drop is two months from now just in time for new years
And that crop will be premium compared to this one
Is yeah: thanks for the advice but I’m not down for the 1/10 reviews. I have to combat it, the best way is to set my page and sales to private and any one who wants can message, so I can filter out any one who thinks it’s ok to leave a review like that.

Try not to let it bother you prime, its ecommerce, you have to deal with the odd muppet every now and again.

Need Vendors Help
I placed an order on the 11th of October it's now the 31st
My order has been sorted but not delivered it's sorted 8 days ago..
Was onto the vendor he said it's returned to sender but no movement with the tracking number...
I am done with this transaction it's 20 days ..
I have asked for a refund but thay are refusing and saying I have to wait ...
I put it to them that thay didn't pay the correct customs/declaration charges so its a mistake on there behalf ..
There reply was thay had paid/filled out correct declaration and that lately there package's were set back...
Also said he would not refund because he had refunded customer's before and there order was eventually delivered ...
I am not a snowflake complaining about a bag of jellies going missing ...
I have not hassled or bombarded the vendor with messages thay have politely answered but like I say it's 20 days now ...
I have only disputed 1 order before 3 years ago ...
Vendors name will not be given this is not a which hunt ..
My question is where do i stand now what do I do now?????

Initiative: Ban Cali Claims
yes if the name is thrown around enough it becomes a generic term which thai certainly is.
Initiative: Ban Cali Claims
Here in the cryptoverse there is no way to prove an imported product. This makes it easy to claim anything and for the items that are actually imported, impossible to believe. Seems it would be quite easy technically to look out for this BS and clean it up.
I just stay away from Cali branded shit !
So for me is rather off putting than advertising lol.
So for me is rather off putting than advertising lol.
Whoever the first clown in the uk was to pay 100 quid for an 8th just cos it came in a tuna tin needs a slap
I've never purchased any of these strains, but that they are an option seems only a good thing. There will be people that take advantage of that, just like there already is with any other claim of a weeds origin, or even strain, but it also allows the real deal to be sold.
I think we should be left to make that decision ourselves, not have them removed, which will be the result of a ban on claiming its origin, as that is what commands its price. There are so many options here, that no one needs to pay those prices for that weed, real or otherwise. My 2c.

Essentially, you can 'claim' anything. In the cryptoverse there is really no way to prove anything. If people choose to buy 'Cali' weed online, they take the rough with the smooth as far as I'm concerned. It's the buyers responsibility to follow up and ask questions of the vendor. It's up to the vendor to address any buyers' objections. This may be done with or without proof. It's then up to the buyer to decide if the vendor stands up to scrutiny or not. Banning the term 'Cali' essentially opens up a can of worms. Buyer beware and sellers back up your claims. It's simple as that. I won't risk 'Cali' weed because I cannot verify it. Seems like a pretty simple and logical buying methodology. Belief is down to you. Proof is the vendor's business.
Definitely, nobody is forced to buy anything and it's up to the buyer to determine what represents value for money to them
I think "cali" often means its a cali strain. But those who claim to be importing....umm....ive lost friends on LB for calling BS on that one may times hahaha
Oh god, don't get someone started on that barcode stuff, apparently it's super easy to fake! lol
Don't see why some people are so intent on vexing about this topic; use your common sense, you're either willing to pay premium or not, chat to the seller and see if you're comfortable laying the wedge, and worst case dispute it if you think it's fake / you've been misled.
Banning terminology, ffs, where does it end? There's always going to be people trying to mug you off, be sensible and you probably won't get burned.
Peace and love biggas
PS don't be that guy and shit post on established vendors when you haven't even purchased the product!

Ban the term "import" and "Cali" etc. unless it can be proven that it is indeed imported from California.
If you buy a bottle of Champagne in Tescos what PROOF do you demand to see that it came from France?…that label could be a fake so they can charge more?
Ever had an imported beer?…maybe you haven’t- maybe it was made in my garage….
Ever had an imported beer?…maybe you haven’t- maybe it was made in my garage….
The amount of artificial ingredients and sugar in a lot of alcoholic drinks is unreal. Plus however regulated alcohol is, it’s still a carcinogen whatever dress it comes in.
I understand the point you're making, but the French wine laws and export are incredibly stringent, and there are harsh penalties for offenders. The laws regarding labelling of Champagne are so strict that if you have wine made within the region and that wine is put in a barrel, transported out of the region and back again, then it can't legally be labelled as Champagne any more. We need something that stringent for Cali imports and then there'd be full confidence in the supply chain. Maybe when the French get into legal weed production in the future?
Excellent documentary about investigation of fakes in the wine industry on Amazon Video called 'Sour Grapes'. Worth a watch for anyone interested in wine, or fraud investigations. It was on Netflix for 'free', but now it has a rental cost. I'd never suggest people obtained it through their favourite free download methods. Interestingly, some of the people caught out by the fraud appear to have sold on the fakes, instead of admitting they were conned. That would never happen with weed though...would it...?

That's a good point .The shops are full of fake foreign beers.
They claim to be Italian or whatever but when you look at the label it says brewed in the UK.
Apparently, they even change the recipe to suit the local pallet.

Got visions of some Karen in Tescos asking for proof their beer is imported now 🙈 really wouldn’t surprise me to be fair 😂 I kinda think a lot of the import is genuine.. doesn’t make it good quality tho which amuse confusion people expecting a superior product often geting sold mids as top shelf etc but it is buyers choice wanna spend £100 + on a tuna tin go ahead if I was rich probably would as a one off not guna lie 😆
I noticed on a case of Heineken recently it says ‘Imported Continental Lager’ and in the small print ‘Brewed in Holland & Edinburgh’…🤨….well which the bloody hell is it because it can’t be both and if it’s the latter it sure as hell ain’t a continental import!
Ye I’ve noticed this sort of thing before life’s a bloody con it’s the horse meat scandal all over again 😆 I’m thinking brewed in Edinburgh using Hollands recipe 😅 definitley can not be both 🤨
Tbf I don't think you can compare a regulated market with an unregulated market. Purchasing from an established company, I would imagine, it's more likely to be authentic because there's accountability. You could also ask the producer to provide proof. But of course it's not foolproof, nothing is, and there will always be knock offs.
And I'm sure some "Cali" and other "import" strains on here are genuine. But I'm also sure there are lots of false listings which, frankly, are scams as they falsely justify charging ridiculous prices that take advantage of people.
And I'm sure some "Cali" and other "import" strains on here are genuine. But I'm also sure there are lots of false listings which, frankly, are scams as they falsely justify charging ridiculous prices that take advantage of people.
That was really my point. It would be hard enough in a regulated market to get proof- we just take a leap of faith. In an unregulated i.e illegal market, we take a GIANT leap of faith so demanding proof is frankly ridiculous. Just try it….
I would completely agree this would solve many problems, just looking through and there are some really amazing newish sellers but they are right at the bottom below all the "Cali" too which seems unfair.
Ban ban ban if you ask me, charging a premium for something and not having to supply any real proof (for opsec obviously) leaves way too much room for cheeky beggars.

Your shake to smoke is very good but just because your not on the wall doesn't mean you should support the above posters. It's more likely that the products you vend are niche and due to that and the lower engagement you get on posts because of the goods will likely translate into no wall time. Have you considered perhaps offering a budget conscious but less shaky and more bud like offer as that's something LB could always do more with (in my opinion)
Is the weed good does it stone you then why do you care where it comes from,should we be banning all Moroccans because they might have been from Algeria.
Think some folks forget its damn illegal on this island and could be getting non descript bags of home grown weed back on the streets if not for the vendors on biggy searching out fine products for us,personally i dont care if it comes from the moon as long as it is good and if some punter wants to fork out cash for an expensive bit weed that is up to them.
But i should mention just because its supposedly from dumb ass yank land does not make it a superior product to any weed grown or hash made anywhere else on the planet just more expensive because the yanks are all greedy bastards.

Just my opinion, but I pay little attention to the cali slogan usage on here. I am more concerned with a vendor and product rating. The best marker on here are the reviews, then I go by what I can afford vs what I would like to try/buy. There are some prices on here that means I will never go near that product and if I do try that vendor it doesn’t fill me with great confidence that I will be getting anything decent if it is the lower end of that expensive vendors product lines. To be honest I wouldn’t care if it came from the bottom of my backyard as long as it stones me nicely and is smooth and has good flavour…you don’t need cali or import for that…end of the day it is buyer choice what you buy and also seller choice what is sold and how it is sold. It’s business, so if it’s too pricey and no good, eventually people will go elsewhere….no one wants to be ripped off
Anyone stupid enough to buy an 8th for $100 or more deserves to be diddled. There is undoubtably some fake Cali weeds on here as well as some genuine imports but I leave it all well alone thanks to the prices.
Some of the stuff on here is $160 a 1/8 I mean just don’t buy 5 bags fly to Cali and buy some there it would prob cost you around the same haha it’s utter insanity imo weather it’s real or not no flower is worth that price tag and I just wouldn’t buy it each to there own and all but you can get legit stuff cheaper else where it’s only marked up on here cos It’s the only place most have and can go to get it and vendors know this or they are having there pants pulled down 🧐 I have a pal gets import stuff and for a 3.5 sealed bag you talking no more than £70 for the very very top end normally £50-60, here it’s a harsh mark up I mean I like my pants being pulled down but by a woman Not a vendor haha
we have dropped this because the wonderwall algorithm appears to be compensating for cali claims now..
Opposition is a strong word but...
Why single out Cali? Is Dutch going too? Morrocan or Thai?
How about Organic?
They're giving buyers some idea of what to expect.
The bigger the claim the bigger the spanking if the drop doesn't match.

I agree HMT. I've been happily, every now and again, been ordering 'Cali'. V pricey, yes. If it isn't 'cali' I'm pretty happy as its been v good quality IMHO.
Just taken the plunge with a newish but well respected LB vendor on some $130-ish an 1/8 Cali (nice bag and everything!)
At worst I'll still be $130 worse off but with some weed. In these times I'll take that as a general result in life. Maybe I'll be pissed off for a day or two but that'll be it.
Anyway, I'm rambling now.
Not sure if 'Cali' claims should be banned. let the reviewers tell the tale.....

Yeah I'm opposed to it, I find it ludicrous that it's such a big thing that people are making threads over it. If your not interested scroll past. Oh and I'm gonna put a proper thread up later but it appears using the cannverify app that the Cali I got today is actually from California. As for the codes being easy to fake one Reddit post (which is all the proof I have seen so far) does not a 100% factual statement make. So yeah I'm opposed to this suggestion ;)
Hi
Hope you're well DEADRABB1T
All the Jungle Boyz we sell have been declared real by our customers on here.
We don't sell fake and not here to rip NO 1 off.
Can anyone suggest how to prove to people that the cali is really?
Because we are willing to provide any evidence anyone wants to see!!!
This topic is been going on for over a year on here and it's not fair on us when genuinely we are trying our best to provide the best strains and service on here.
So if anyone has any ideas how to prove let us know .
Thanks ❤ Peace

I really feel for you guys- you bust a gut to bring us some fantastic JB strains and the jealous haters who probably just can’t afford it rip into you like that’s your fault!
“PROOF! PROOF!!” ….I mean FFS!…if you are really that sceptical then don’t buy it, easy, there are over 500 options on this site alone!
Leave it for those of us happy to buy and stop pissing on our parade!

Honestly at this point you could book private flights to California, arrange for the doubters to be met at jungle boys hq and watch the bags be filled and the doubters will still be saying stuff like
"They brought the bud over with them" or "were not really in California this is Rotherham" etc
"They brought the bud over with them" or "were not really in California this is Rotherham" etc
Last time I was in Tescos I called out the the Manager as a lying thieving cockwomble because he couldn’t provide me absolute PROOF that their obviously fake Dom Perignon 2003 came from France. How can they make these claims when it’s so easy to fake labels? Only idiots would buy it so I started smashing the bottles. That showed the wankmuffins….
My case comes up on Thursday….

Bro I bought from TGD and they sent me fake zushi. It wasn’t even close to the real deal. I’ve had blue zushi hundreds of times and I’ve had it directly in CA from the actual dispensary. TDG sent me fake zushi, then fucked around with escrow. I’ll get my money back but he’s not as genuine as he comes across.
If he had admitted what he done then I wouldn’t even bother calling him out. But he’s not legit.

No problem it's cool.
If anyone has any ideas let us know and we will provide what ever it is .
Hope all is well wrap up and stay warm the snow is coming .

Sender from US could always put an airtag in the box, just show the tracking from airport to airport, gives nothing away other than simply showing, its been shipped from the US. Honestly, I don't really care, I'm never gonna be paying that crazy price, but I don't judge those that would now and again. Just like I'm happy with a Maccies over Gordon Ramsay, as long as it tastes good, and works well, who cares :)
bro you don’t even know what Cali is, you were selling fake blue zushi.
Jungle Boys come pre sealed so it’s not possible for you to fake it unless you’re paying for the bags, which is too much hassle.
But the rest of your shit is fake, I actually ordered from you and now you wanna ask people how to prove if it’s Cali? By selling the real thing and not ripping people off

Yes! It’s nonsense…Cali is some great weed and I want the opportunity to buy it!….all the Cali I have bought on here has been great!
as someone who lists almost exclusively cali i feel bummed out. I don't think in over 5.5k reviews a single person has disputed the claim, the quality is pretty obvious.
maybe thats why i'm so far down the wall now :(

Explains why your buds are brilliant. They mostly come from Cali quality is definitely there

I agree with HMP. Basically everything is a claim and to single out Cali claims is discrimination;) thanks all
Since most Cali is grown indoors , what's the point of importing it ? Surely we could just grow the same cultivars locally .
Might as well ban claims of organic or grown in living soil too. If a vendor is making big claims then a potential customer should do some serious vetting before deciding to part with the coin.
We import cali ourselves, top-tier grown in and around [retracted] . It just depends on who you shop with, we believe marketing as a difficult topic since there may also be import products sold, if you have had issues regarding import or cali flower on LB you should start a topic about the vendor issues. Caliweed is something sought after, in general it is just weed grown with higher standards. If the weed doesn't check the boxes of smell, taste, high aswell as appearance it should not be cali. Obviously if vendors sell from USA it might be hard to distinguish if something really is from Cali, in the end only the vendors truly can have information about the destination of production.
Also from someone who is really connected around the globe:
Many calipacks come without labels because they are sold without taxes, essentially its recreational weed sold in a black market. This mostly happens to overproduction, or production that did not check all boxes for rc market i.e. dispensaries. Often sold by bigger famous corps but also small black market only corps aswell, those huge amounts of packaged flower aswell as loose flower are sold to big big plugs.
Back to the Calibag topic:
In general Cali should only be bought from truly credible vendors.
Also labeled Cali bags should be controlled because the ones with labels qr codes are the most faked, always check authenticity via scanning qr codes if available. A red flag is if there are no sticker labels on bags, (doesn't have to be fake cali, tho its rare)

There are barcodes and serial numbers on legitimate cali packs. Though, I guess even those could be refilled and resealed. But any cali pack without dates/serial numbers are fakes.
Not necessarily true, I have a mate in [retracted] that drives to Cali and buys Cali in bulk, they don't even come packed, just loose buds, so honestly it's hard to know whether something is legit or not when it comes to flowers.
Referring to cali packs mate. Clearly wont be dates and serial numbers on loose buds come on lol
Have always thought this as ppl charge premium prices for cali. Some ppl buy cali as it is seen as dispensary quality stuff. So they don't want to put anything in their bodys and trust sellers thinking theyre buying superior qwaulity product less harmful to health.

The addition of the Society link on the clear-net page when maintenance is occurring is a great idea. Thanks for that.
One thing might be to also state members can use the same username and password to access their LB account, on Society.
With the login page looking completely different than LB's, it's not immediately obvious to those of us who aren't particularly tech savvy that it's basically a mirror site.
Thanks again.

A quick tip! (This is what we did because we didn’t know if it was created by LB) Go to register/sign up with the same username and a random password. If it’s taken, it’s safe. If it’s not it’s a phishing site!
We’ve not seen an LB fake yet though…

The Society page was super helpful and great to see the holding page updated with the info mid weekend.
I got the link from reddit on sat morning and was convinced I was about to be phished. Set up dummy accounts and allsorts before committing.
Super glad to have the .org back up as it appears a lot of users aren't keen to use tor, although it's perfectly safe.
Thanks for doing gods work LB 🙏

Society sort of worked for me, but I couldn't post at all. Nothing would happen when I hit the comment button. Tried some fuckery with my settings and it still wouldn't, so thank fuck the clearnet version is back!
It's good there is a backup. But the whole point of littlebiggy is that it's a clearnet marketplace without the ball ache of going on the darknet.
Everytime I see this site go down I always hope it comes back with better functionality.

What's EveryonesTypical Stoned Experience?
Personally (I only hit vapes and occasionally do edibles) ....I start off with a bit of fear and a little paranoia (lasts about 30 mins/hour) then I start getting super interested and absorbed in a bit of telly or a good movie....then a feeling of total mellowness...which depending on how much I've consumed can carry on through the next day
I have a spliff or two in a Friday night only these days. Nice bottle of red, smoke one, cook a juicy steak, watch favourite tv, drink wine, smoke the other spliff, finish wine. Go to bed and clean the pipes. Lovely.
I'm a paranoid android sober so it carries on into the first 10 minutes and I'm thinking omg my neighbours are gonna be upset with the smell etc then my thoughts chill out a bit. It starts with my heart racing and then I start to feel like a deck chair folding, which I quite enjoy. This gives me the indication that I don't need anymore for the moment.
It can then go a few different ways depending on the situation/strain. Music is always on in the house so I'll boogie to that for a good hour, start to think I'm a healer and start talking shit 😂
Usually I want to creative something (because of the strain) sometimes it's good, sometimes it's terrible.
I painted a nice cloud oil painting which was interesting because I can't paint landscapes for shit. Another time I tried to do acrylic paint pouring which just turned into me feeling like a toddler and smushing canvas together and making a nice brown mess in my kitchen.
Most of the time I just want to share the experience with someone to feel connections but my friends/family dont fancy it so I come on here and either contribute or just read.
I've only tried edibles a handful of times but it made me paranoid so I've just stuck to smoking.

I’m not sure I’d like half an hour of fear and paranoia 😳…what are you vaping and what strength are those edibles?🥹
At this stage I actually love the paranoia. It's like having seen so many horror movies they don't scare anymore but rather provoke giggles.
To be fair I like to think I have a fairly highish tolerance so on a weekend I can go a bit excessive with vapes! :)
I forgot munchies!!! ...incredible incredible munchies!! If you've ever walked down the confectionary and crisp aisles of your local B&M and find that it's practically empty....its very likely I've been there :)
The fives stages of getting stoned, for me at least.
Stage 1: I am annoyed and anxious, so imma get litty up in this bitch.
Stage 2: I am still annoyed and anxious... but less so?
Stage 3: Ehhhh... fuck it. Im gonna sit here for a bit.
Stage 4: I gain a profound understanding of the meaning of everything, only to forget these thoughts after approx. 2 minutes. Rinse and repeat for a bit (like you, this stage is punctuated by watching tv).
Stage 5: I sleep now.
Bonus stage: I eat the contents of my fridge.

My tolerance is tiny and iv always hated paranoid other thinking experiences. But recently iv found myself pushing how much I have each time. I really struggle with getting the correct amount, a fully dosing cap in the mighty is still to much I can’t vape that fully start to finish with out it fucking me up.
I start glitching out and shit and my heart is beating like im bolt after the 100m except my heart rate doesnt slow down for like 15 mins minumum (probs not healthy at all i need to stop getting so high) after that im in a state of recovery from that phase for like 5 mins, then i just get super silly and childish or super aware, understanding and insightful (depends on the vibe of the people around me) this happens for the rest of the high and once the high starts fading off i just get super relaxed and eat a fuck load of medjool dates (favourite munchie)

Some of the 10 out of 10 reviews on here is abit nuts just read a review there on shake said it had abit of hair and fluff in it but once you filtered it out it was fine, surely you can't give a perfect review if your weed has been contaminated
Hehe …you clearly haven’t seen all the ‘10/10 not tried yet’ reviews!- how is THAT score possible?!😵💫😜
Many Biggas are so grateful that their order actually turns up then that’s good enough for 10/10. That’s fine but as you suggest, it’s not very helpful to anyone else…

Part of the problem is the 10 point review system. Under this nothing under 8 is really considered good at all. This works for game reviews (and other similar things) as I'd instantly dismiss anything lower than this as the reason I'm reading reviews is to get an idea what to buy due to time or financial constraints.
The 100 point system as used by Robert Parker and others for wine reviews is equally skewed to the top, whereby anything under about 86 points isn't even worth looking at, and 100 point wines sell for exponential prices due to one man's taste. I have issues with Parker as he skewed an entire wine region's production methods to get 100 point scores, and I loved all fine Rhône production until his influence.
A 20 point score could give the potential for nuance for reviews that also didn't make vendors twitchy about low scores (so probably more 16/17-20 in reality). Lots of people genuinely just want weed though, and they're happy it came, and won't pay any attention to any changes to this anyway.
That one mentioned sounds a solid 8/10, if they don't mind pulling out the hair and fluff...
Looks like someone just had a drop from Hashishin, has now fully taken on board this advice of not reviewing before trying, and left one for the Paris Gold after doing so.

7/10 Review for a $100 3.5 with no comment🤓
We second/third those ‘Not tried yet’ reviews too. Stealth is important but I think what you bought is more🤦♂️
The points make a big difference to a 10/10 rep. It could be made a bit better

Don't worry I got one too!
On that note I suggest you and every other bigg who got one fill them in praising your local postie and encouraging them to keep doing a good job.
We wouldn't be here without them and God knows management took them to hell and back with the IT scandal so they need our support :-)

On Day 9 or 10 goto your order page to open a dispute.. the dispute button appears after 9 days.
If you smoke hash let me know I’ll sort you out a free sample..

After viewing your profile quickly I assume you ordered that crap from that shiity ass vendor Game Changer 🤦♂️ oh dear …

Thank you so much-you sir are a gent : )
I made a couple of small orders with the btc I had left in my budget so I am okay atm,kind offer appreciated though.
Your smoke does look really nice ,oddly enough I did place an order with you when I realised the other stuff was'nt arriving anytime soon but I cancelled it after it had been sending the payment for 3 days. I couldn't afford the higher fees lol
It is partly my fault in that if I had just taken the time to properly check the reviews I would have known what I was looking at and spent my money somewhere else. They are the online equivelent of the dodgy dealer in the car park

I can't believe they are getting away with it. They are trading with themselves to manipulate the ratings and reviews it's so obvious. Like I said if I had just read the reviews I would have seen it. I have'nt finished my review yet as I just don't know where to start it's been a nightmare.
I have raised the dispute already my rating is 20% would be 33% without my failed order to you lol .They are showing as 0% disputes even though they have messed so many people around.
I don't understand fully how the dispute system works so I just presumed I had no chance of getting any money back. I have extended the dispute too so hopefully they have to wait longer to steal my btc

only ever experianced suppressed appetite when i used to smoke allday everyday (and that was to feel normal) it's not good to get like that you need T-breaks remmber to respect the herb and she will treat you right abuse her and you'll know bro just like everything else.
Any strain that contains high levels of THCV and lower levels of THC can suppress appetite.
Sativa-leaning strains with high levels of CBD, cannabigerol (CBG), limonene, and humulene might do the trick.

I’ve never come across weed that didn’t give me the munchies to one extent or another. I will say that I tend to get the munchies less from sativa than indica strains and I also find that hash rarely gives the munchies. That could just be me though.
Maybe a nice sativa hash would do the trick? I like The Green Team’s Blue Dream hash and Real D’s Sour Diesel if you’re looking for a treat.

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.

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 ?

If by game strategy you mean the meaning of life. Then the meaning is to find your meaning by exploration of yourself and the matter around you.
Complete the escape out of this sim code ritual that ancients used to do so the soul would not return back to this sim but yet a better one.
To gain knowledge or maybe its just a game you gotta figure out how to play to get to the next level?
A simulation of a simulation suggests to me that maybe something went wrong in the past or maybe its just a soul trap. Too many avenues of thought lol

CHAINLYSIS HAS SAID THEY CAN TRACK TRANSACTION THROUGH LIGHTNING NOW BUT TBH IT DEPENDS ON YOUR THREAT MODEL. IF YOU'RE DOING A FEW 100 QUID OR K SHOULD BE FINE. 5 FIGURES AND UP I WOULD DO THE BELOW
BEST WAY TO MIX IS BTC TO XMR THEN BACK TO BTC

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Yo dude!
Sadly Labour are currently just as anti cannabis as the conservatives. ☹️
Keir Starmer hates the stuff and has said he wouldn’t legalise it.. 🤷♂️🤦♂️

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

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

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

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

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

Nice, great find! Love it when you dig up things from the past; especially when a coincidence is involved 👍😉 It’s meant to be as they say. ✌️
Oh Shit… So it wasn’t yours!!😂 Wonder how long ago someone lost it?? They must of been gutted! ☹️ 😅
Some say the ghost of the owner still haunts that area, roaming the woods searching for his lost weed.... 😂 👻
Can you tell what strain it is at all? Or remember where you got it? Lol.
It’s like a secret stash box that was so secret you forgot where it was 😂😉✌️

Best UK Rapper of AlL TiME?
classic
I’m old so I’d argue Kalashnekoff, Fallacy or pretty much half of the old mud fam (skinny, Chester), got to give a mention for doc brown though, new album is nice, still going
Fucking love a bit of k-lash tho... it’s murda, black rose etc yeah... gonna bang that parrowdice album like NOW lol
Fucking love a bit of k-lash tho... it’s murda, black rose etc yeah... gonna bang that parrowdice album like NOW lol
Yeh that K-lash album was a banger, actually gave it another listen not long ago and it’s still a fucking banger. I’d say any from K-lash, Kano, Taskforce and Jehst.
shed you know the deal lol! but there is no way we can put this down to ONE best uk rapper, Klash & terra firma... MUD fam, That arab uk guy from deal real days cant remember his name but TOP lyricist, Too many to mention TBH,
Shit even used to bump pound sterling and RSG. So much styles in the UK rap scene over the last 15 years its hard to say whos the number 1!

I love doc Brown's music, but the guy's an arsehole
K-lash though, man he can rap!! Even the young'uns love his stuff too
K-lash though, man he can rap!! Even the young'uns love his stuff too
That parrowdice album is absolutely timeless never get bored of listening to it, pound sterling use to like some of his stuff from back in the day? Can you remember channel u, that was on sky, had all the upcoming young english talent, use to watch religiously, use to have some mad guys on there!!!!
Great shout there - were you also a Yungun fan? He’s back with new stuff under ‘Essa’ - still awesome! Also used to bang Universal Soldiers every single day - going to put it on now in fact, happy Friday all!
Yungun! Yeah man, he had a phat album with Mr Thing called GMB (grown man business) and he got a song on there called 'peter pan syndrome' which actually makes my heart bleed.... that dude is an entertainment lawyer now!
Top album!! Yeah man that’s crazy isn’t it!! Wiccaman theory by Chester P used to get me like that! The ten pound bag mixtapes were brilliant too. Loving this thread, now reminded me of how much I love Dabbla and LDZ, having a great day :D
Ten pound baaaaagggg...oh my days... the problem with smoking so much weed is I forget too much music lol...damn, louis slipperz on the mix...some of the beats of those were mind-wreckingly phat...man, I got to dig those out...yeah, loving this thread too man, nice to know I'm not the only one still rocking out Taskforce and Skinnyman and shit...oh shit...Sway...remember that cat? He did the tune over the car racing tune..ah shit...memory lol...I know the one, think it was called 'up your speed', so many bangers lost to the pit of my weeded memory lol...
Hahaha mate 100% the same!! Weeded memory sucks!! Yeah I’d completely forgotten about Sway! Flo’ Fashion was an absolute banger as well!!
Anything off that album was fantastic.
Download still cracks me up when he's talking about going to an Internet cafe to find a man named kazaa haha.

Agree with pretty much all of the below suggestions.
Recently found this banger by Kano, D double E and Ghetts.... Such a tune, such great energy... Real uk OG's. Kano's got the longevity
... enjoy ...

Kano is tremendous live too. And so is d double e....ghetts is passable but compared to the other 2 he falls short in my eyes. I've seen all 3 of them perform multiple times
Didn’t even need to play this via link got this one backed up on the old I tunes... Badabapbap!!! Big tune
Akala for the win. Definitely NOT Skinnyman... Although I did like Council Estate of Mind.
OLDsKoOl... Return of the drifter was an epic album.. still gets alot of play in my dojo lol! How could we forget Jehst!
You like braintax too?
You like braintax too?
Still listen to “sagas of kalashnekoff”. If anyone is wondering, the film used for the skits is “Babylon”. A great film, its like a reggae “commitments”
Every Thursday at 7pm we should all go outside and start shouting "can't take no more of that"
That black cunt outta stokie, banana mango munching monkey, ill kick off ya door like jumanji!!! Hahahaha that guy!!!
Fliptrix, Chester P, Akala, Lowkey and skinny man... Can't really claim one is better than the other, they have all reached maxed skill in their unique styles
Glad to see someone get fliptrix in there. Saw him and skinny man live at subterranea just before lockdiwn and its unreal how much stage presence fliptrix has...and he's a fucking giant lol
I'm younger than some on this thread so don't know too many old school UK rappers. Mainly like old American rappers/mcs from the 90s, but would also give a vote to skinny man. Council Estate of mind is one my favourite albums of all time and its criminal he's not better known (In the mainstream).
If we're talking about modern day.. casisdead is currently the best in the scene/UK in my opinion, bar none. Can't wait for his new album to drop.

Def a personal favourite. Don’t think he’s made an average album and seen him live a couple times and never disappointed.
As much as I properly love late 90s/early 200s UKHH, I have to say that Dabbla is right up there for me.
LDZ, Dead Players, his stuff on HF, and his solo albums on Potent Funk, he's kept it fresh, pushed hard and spits like nobody else. His wordplay is incredible.

Hmmmm, Good question man, Jehst is up there for me.. But, with the new school vibes of like Ocean Wisdom, Verb-T. I’m not sure anymore :)
Top reply that! Early Jehst is hard to beat in my book! Chester P also up there - more recently loving Lee Scott (by no means would class him as UKs greatest but he’s a personal fav of mine :)
Chester P is also a bloody lovely bloke to boot. A carer these days and seems.to have his head properly screwed on
Chester P for mayor!!
Ches is a fucking dude...he dropped one of the hottest 'fire in the street' freestyles ever...dude is deep as fuck, massive respect for him.

ches don't like MF doom he says hes a traitor to the uk scene but MF's perants moved to the US he had no choice and i just think ches is bitter and jelouse he never got what MF doom did ..
Ocean wisdom I think has one of the best flows in the UK scene Verb-T perfect for a heavy zoot and a relax
Silver Bullet, hands down is the best UK rapper (really showing my age). 20 Seconds was good but 'Bring forth the Guillotine' is a classic.
Some greats already mentioned! but Dizzie rascal has to be in there for me! . Stefflon don , Jaykae and Bugzy Malone have some tunes too. Could be cheating but 21 savage as well I’m sure I saw he was from Newham originally?
I think he is you know!!! Who was the the other mc how was orginally in the newham generals, cant remember his name to stoned!!! Haha, ive even seen him live aswell at show at london dungeons, my mate won vip ticketsto see them and dizzee and jammer!!! Only 200 people whata fucking night that was!!! Still cant remeber his name!!! Haha
Bullet from a guuuuuuunnnnn!!! Derek B was the fucking man, he must have been one of my first UK hip hop heroes! Ahhh, this brings back memories..who remembers Normski?! Cannot for the life of me remember the show he had on tv for a while but I fucking loved it...
Ooooh, that rings a bell...really can't pull it out of my brain, Normski was the presenter and it was literally the only thing on tv that had any flavour at all, was late on a Friday night iirc
Showing my age ( and probably giving away that I’m more of a guitar guy ) but The Streets first album is awesome
I think for me it’s Potter Payper if you want that real rap but grime wise I’m going to say Ghetts.
All completely subjective but
Kano is my all-time favourite.
Boy in da corner was a groundbreaking album, and has stood the test of time (still sounds amazing to this day) so Dizzee has to have a place on the UK rap Mount Rushmore.
Also high ratings and much love for Klashnekoff, JME, Sway, Devlin, and Roots Manuva.

It’s gotta be Skepta or Dizzee man!
Nothing touches Konichiwa, Boy in da corner or Showtime.. nothing!

For skill, Harry shotta. Me personally. Then Kalashnekov dizzee and the streets. A grand don’t come for free was a masterpiece
GHETTS' LATEST ALBUM SERIOUSLY MAKING ME CONSIDER HIM THE UK GOAT
HIM AND KANO ARE PROBABLY THE BEST DUO THIS COUNTRY EVERY PRODUCED
HIM AND KANO ARE PROBABLY THE BEST DUO THIS COUNTRY EVERY PRODUCED
JME all day. Showing my age now.
Rating Ocean Wisdom atm tho
Far too many good ones to list on here tho.

Far too many good ones to list on here tho.
So many to choose from such as Ghetto but I'm gonna have to go for his old mate Kano. Special place in my heart for that donny.
I get what you mean I'm mainly on about his first shit after that he got annoying as fuck when he switched his style tbh lol
It’s all a bit mid 2000s Roll Deep etc. Good proving grounds for the future, some good MCs came out of it, but in itself it’s pretty shit. I mean compare that to some Wu Tang shit, which I guess would be the New York streets equivalent 15 years earlier... doesn’t even compare.
Not the most original post, but if what I read on the internet it true, then I would say MF DOOM, (apparently born in London).
To be honest, there isn't one, it's so hard to choose just one when there's so much talent out there.
I know he doesn’t rap anymore, but Plan B in his prime was exceptional. The Paint it Blacker Mixtape is one of my all time favourites
Not a fan of him as a person but Slowthai has been doing some really good stuff for a while now deserves a mention. Loyle Carner also I think Lyrically is very nice
There are plenty contenders, but considering quality of his music, duration of career, significance/legacy etc, I think you need to go a long way to better Kano as one of the greats in the UK.
Lowkey, songs banned in USA raided by mi5 no one can match his word play only guy to do chip in a beef. Too real too intelligent.
Dutty goodz is the king for me, chester p, lowkey,akala are also faves, and ocean wisdom for technicality, not so keen on his content but he's got very diverse flows and spot-on delivery.
Not saying he's the best but he defo up there can't believe no one shouted out MR Traumatik, he's a fucking savage 😄
elder; crazy t, wiley, killa p, flowdan, riko dan, trim, dizzee, tempz
younger; kyeza, rocks foe, faultsz, K9, mez, saint p
stress on kyeza and rocks foe
younger; kyeza, rocks foe, faultsz, K9, mez, saint p
stress on kyeza and rocks foe
Devs aint even a rapper.. grime spitter. Never even done rap or hip hop. No wonder. Jimmy.

Strain advice for anxiety stomach
Sativa *is* good for anxiety. Seriously though smoke enough indica and you might want a little anxiety and then look who is in control!

Strain advice for anxiety stomach
Hello biggaz.
I was looking for anyone who struggled with anxiety and noticeably that affects their stomach aswell as their mind? Suffered from social wxbietu for years and managed it really well to be fair however I still get that pit nerve feeling often. I know everyone is different but at time I can make myself over and over again until I feel it's went away which as we know doesn't happen very often with anxiety.
Anyway, if anyone out there who suffers from anjxety stomach as I call it and have a found a strain that helps beat this please let me know.
Oddly, I tend to be woken in the middle of the night with it and sometimes will keep me up for hours. So a heavy setting indica for guaranteed KO may be good but also factoring in anxiety a sativa may be good too? Recommendations appreciated. I have a pretty terribly high threshold which obviously doesn't help.
Thanks biggaz xxxx

I too have suffered with anxiety and know what your going through dude.
As the other biggas have said Indica strains for the evening or even low level thc plants or higher cbd strains..
I always have a cbd gummy, vape or drink ready for when the symptoms crop up. 👍 I work in the CBD industry and help people with anxiety on a daily basis and we have seen some great results!
Everyone is different though so it’s about finding the right balance for you.. ✌️💚

Know those nights too well mate, as said by toking, stay clear of sativa leaning ones!
Indicas are your friend and good Cbd bud can help too 👍

Yeah to be honest the reason I started smoking weed again was anxiety before sleep which obviously helped but this middle of the night nonsense is something else mate.
Appreciate it brother, I always thought for some reason sativa are good for anxiety but I never felt any better for smoking them. Have some donkey butter to try this weekend so hopefully that knocks me out.
Have a great weekend mate

Sativa *is* good for anxiety. Seriously though smoke enough indica and you might want a little anxiety and then look who is in control!
I wouldn't recommend a sativa for anxiety they can make you anxious, a good hybrid or indica would be better, ask the seller before buying they will probably help you, I recommend Canadian imports or the gentleman dealers there both helpful.
Ye another thumbs down for sativas and anxiety although some are ok like stardawg they are definitley risky the boost in energy can cause anxiety/paranoia. Ice Cream cakes the best one I’ve found szkittles is good to good luck 🙂
We recommend a nice Indica, Sativa used to get my anxiety scale up so would defo prefer an indica strain.
CBD products also help people with their anxiety, also cbd is proven to help with stomach issues. You could maybe buy a cbd tincture or get something more mobile like cbd gummies or capsules.
We also recommend zeolite capsules for consumption, which are helping your intestines by detoxing heavy metals and other damaging compounds. That way it also indirectly strengthens your immune system. This also might affect your mood.
We also stock a nice indica which might contribute to cope with anxiety/stomach issues.
OG Kush is a reliable strain for those looking for stress relief. It is a strain that produces a euphoric feeling and may help decrease stress, anxiety, and depression. Some users have also reported relief from headaches and migraines when using this strain.
So it might help with your stomach issues/aches.
We wish you a good recovery! Stay positive, eat healthy foods and you will be there faster than you might think.
Have a good start into the week G

Slightly naughty recommendation on a weed site but for your night time condition low dose Xanax is a Godsend.
0.25mg is all you will need and you’ll soon find you only occasionally need to take it when you awake in the night but feel super reassured because it’s there if you do.
Works for me so well❤️👍

Hehe…down voted already- thanks Nero….clearly you don’t recognise advice that tries to help people with serious issues mate?
Trouble is getting these even prescription mate.
I’m fully diagnosed with ptsd, gad, and a few others.
Keep trying to put me back on sertraline or citalpram which made me 100X worse and reason I went back on weed tbh

Cool.
It can be a long term solution provided you use it infrequently, otherwise you’ll just build up a tolerance. It’s far better to limit the use than build up the dose.
Good luck👍

Hiya , in similar situ I’m finding cookie dough hash to be good as long as I have it early enough to get the happy buzz as it smooths out to b calming relaxed but then I also put on a progressive relaxation meditation on yt with binaural tones, magnesium spray too :)
Also found blue dream weed to be good although I think it’s a satv it’s puts me in a lovely dreamy calm state :)
A kush was helpful too , have some coming :)
Some great info on this thread & wishing u luck in finding what works for you :)

It's odd you mention hash mate. It's something I don't tend to go for but lately if I find a nice indica(sunset serhebt from Dr GT) it's really really helping me. But more than flower it seems aswell, not sure if just having a different type is having a more desired affect.
Thank you for the suggestion of cookie dough, I believe JJ also supplies this mate ❤️

Nice indica, or maybe some thai

As Web Content Creator How Should I Use This?
can confirm this works ;)
As Web Content Creator How Should I Use This?
You can monetize any kind of content by posting it here on little biggy, just link to it whenever you publish.
Yes, obviously you can share any topic but I think you're concerned about items. I share items all the time on FB and insta with posts like "looks like cannabis is becoming a normal thing" or "it must be nice to have bitcoin" etc. As long as you contextualize it it is very valid content, I once saw a link on the front age of reddit.
Yes, I've done well with it, pretty much like other people are saying, I just link to strange posts and people do wind up registering afterwards.
I would write about making edible recipes and how 2 make concentrates like BHO. This is fair game to re-post anywhere.
this is a good idea ive linked to questions about concentrate here, posting mostly on d1scord and reddit and it's performed nicely
"picking the perfect strain" this is something we all need here and it very interesting anywhere there are partakers. everyone you bring in will buy. you make money on every purchase.
just go to a subreddit like uk trees and share a link to a general post here about cannabis. when the person arrives they are going to find items they like, register and make you coin.
posting a direct sales pitch will cause trouble, posting a link to any other discussion works. your reference code embeds to any content here and stays with the visitor youve introduced until they purchase.
I didnt post anything at all regarding sales/LB. I was in conversation with someone about a strain and i was banned out of the blue. Apparently, I was banned for having a link in my reddit bio...which is for my blog...which has LB reviews on it -.-

Comms
Is it just me or are comms just getting worse on LB? I don't understand how a vendor can find it so terribly difficult to shoot back a message a half a line long. It's just a bit disrespectful, especially when they've been or are currently online.
We aren't a one man band, however we only have one set of hands for comms, packaging and sending parcels out. Our other staff members are busy managing F2F business across the UK, so sometimes it may take us an extra day or so to reply to your message as we usually have our hands full 90% of the time.
I feel it isn't hard to keep a customer in the know though. If a customers order is taking too long it takes you 5 minutes to give them a tracking number. I think some vendors may be genuinely busy though, I've had plenty of times where another message / order has come in, and I try and solve both at once and in turn forget the intial reply... 😂
All in all, it is purely dependent on the volumes the vendor is pumping out and the time they have to reply to messages, which is quite a lot of the time, limited. Vendors aren't robots and are humans as well, so do cut them some slack in regards to reply times. However, if the vendors taking the piss, viewing your messages and not responding then I can completely understand how you feel and where you are coming from.

Good vendors keep good comms but I think it’s nuts to expect lightning fast responses, where does that anymore? 24-48 hrs seems cool to me, and I don’t expect any response over the weekend. If you don’t get a reply in a couple of working days and the vendor has been online then I would feel a bit ignored.
I'm talking about across the board in general, not at this specific minute. I have noticed a decline in the quality of Comms on lb
I think it varies from vendor to vendor. Some vendors are teams who have more than one person available to respond, some are working solo so likely have a lot to get through in a day on here and might not have as much time for comms.
I do think good comms is one of the things that makes LB work. I've used other clearnet sites in the past and the comms on LB, not to mention the prices and service, shits on the rest.

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

Yes, (Murder Mountain) I need to watch that again. Started casually watching that and then couldn't believe what I was watching. Tiger King is fun to watch, but Murder Mountain should just as much credit or hype.

Learning the identity of Q wasnt bad either, this is important journalism that happens to have amazing characters.
If you are at all interested in hip hop, check out the BBC Four series "Hip Hop - The Songs That Shook America". I only saw one episode so far, but there are some amazing interviews, old footage and stories.
didn't rate it tbh, didn't think it did the best job of telling his story and jumped around too much. Found it tedious to watch at times imo. I'm a big biggie fan so had high hopes
These new BBC nature docs are great if you have a 4K tv ;) I just got one. The last tv I bought was a cube, so it’s amazing picture ;)
Yeah Icarus is amazing. I am not sure if a saw The Octopus Teacher, I saw a couple about Octupus and they are amazing creatures. Thanks I will check it
Hands On a Hardbody: Amazing documentary about a competition to win a car. 24 people compete by keeping their hand on the car and being the last one standing. Sleep deprivation, insanity, giggles and heartbreak ensue.
The Decline Of Western Civilization: There's 3 of these. The second one is the funniest. In parts it's like a real-life Spinal Tap.
Heavy Metal Parking Lot: This is on Youtube and is only like 10 minutes long. But it's about the carpark scene at a Judas Priest concert. Mullets and questionable characters abound.
Project Grizzly: Mad man tries to invent a suit that will allow him to survive a grizzly bear attack. He ends up looking like Robocop. One of the funniest documentaries ever made.
American Movie: Amateur filmmaker is trying to get his horror movie made over multiple years. Follows him and his cast (locals/family) and the terrible movie they make.

If you haven't seen One Day in September, check it out. It's about the hostage situation at the Munich Olympics. A story of misplaced political activism/terrorism and the mind-blowing incompetence by the authorities who were tasked with handling it. Or, The Fog of War, in which Robert McNamara - late US Secretary of Defence - talks candidly about America's devious role in many 20th Century events.
Yeah good one. The Fog of War: need to check that one out.

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

bro really put the hash sample in a sealed Maltesers bag with the chocolates ontop, wrapped in clingfilm. Was a milkybar too never seen stealth/dedication that good

Probably best to think before posting on here in future because if someone posted my stealth in detail, I wouldn't be so hospitable.

👍 Like I said mistakes happen, seen people in past talk about vendors stealth/layering in depth but I guess this stealth is more unique and didn’t think about that at the time was just over-happy with the service but I get it shroom. I’ll be more careful next time buddy no need to flame me more than anyone else has already😅 I understand the anger but I can't take back what I did only learn and that's what I'll take away from this, have a nice day
Hi benjiwby
Hardly your fault mate.
I'm fairly new here (4 months) and it took people like pollypuff and others - incuding some vendors - to teach me the basics.
I'm not sure who administers this site but if they read this a list of Do's and Dont's systematically messaged to a newly created user account would help.
Cheers

That’s actually a really good idea. 👍
If LB showed a list of FAQ’s or Tips when you register your account it would really help noobs.
I just couldn’t navigate it all to begin with, plus you think the whole thing must be a scam which doesn’t make it any easier to get started.😳
It takes quite an initial leap of faith to be a Bigga…

True, but vendors just have their own often unique methods, their USP as it were. It’s just an unwritten rule that details of their inventiveness doesn’t get spelled out in open forum. It’s the quality of stealth after all that keeps the whole PUP (Personal Use By Post) scene under the radar 👍👍
quality would go up if techniques were openly shared. there is no way to keep this stuff secret (its literally open for sale to everyone) but there is a way to learn from each other.
Everything’s great thanks mate 🤩
Well done on your perfect 10/10 rating so far- may have to pop by the store with my basket soon👍

Seconded! Stealth should be exactly that..Stealth equals secrecy...never discussed in detail...would I talk about my bank number details to people online? Hell no! :)
Yes...I do understand that...but I do remember not long ago someone started a thread about the types of stealth that vendors use,actually posting pics of the stealth! Thats surely crazy,no?...I was worried that we were going down a similar path here.....LB is a precious little site to vendors and buyers...can you imagine a world without LB? HELP!!!!
Thanks for that...yes,LB is very precious...I do wish LB could date our posts like TW or FB, as I never know how old or new these topics are!....What?...Elvis is dead?? When did this happen? haha!
Royal Mail never check packages unless super suspect (it stinks of weed, can actually see drugs, shaped like a gun) millions of parcels&letters are processed through the depots & packages are never opened so providing the vendor has sealed them securely then staff won’t even see the stealth or items inside.
I personally prefer packages to be enveloped with slim line cardboard box inside that can easily fit through a letter box Always priority or tracked mail. Some vendors are better than others in terms of stealth & presentations. I personally don’t mind as all my orders have arrived safely & untampered.
I’ll add that special delivery is priority mail (1pm-Saturdays etc) & Tracked mail is pretty much a guarantee to arrive. I can imagine standard mail will sometimes go missing (agency staff during peak seasons or full time staff shortages) I’ll also be cheeky & suggest samples rather than chocolates 😉 take care community😎💨😮💨❤️

Exodus issue
Hi guys I have £147 of btc in my exodus wallet but its saying I can only send £132 worth. So where the f$#k is the other £15??? Can anyone help please 🤢🤢
after a "stable" couple of months in terms of fees and pricing it seems to have completely shat the bed today
had to get bent over by coinbase's daylight robbery transaction fees twice today since they wanted £6 in fees to send £80 to my wallet
unfortunately all we can do is just get fucking dicked over by it all because nothing will change on here speaking from lots of experience
even after manually adjusting exodus wallet fees, i had to spend £102 to make a £79 order, that £23 was lost to purchasing fees and transaction fees
TWENTY THREE FUCKING QUID POOF GONE UP IN SMOKE FOR NOTHING I COULD HAVE EATEN FOR A WEEK ON THAT
i'm absolutely fuming

you can override their suggested fees, the lower the slower basically until it's so low that it wont get picked up by the network, in this case you get your money back. a decent risk to take when the network is busy from a price rally since you are going to get more back than you sent in fiat terms.

Huge huge fee's for every one right now its cray cray. Seen miners earned over 50billion in mining transaction blocks. The new age banks incoming digital age. But yes lets hope the fees go down real soon as i want to buy some goodies.
Exodus do have set larger fees but i do not mind paying them generally - it's when its a more global issue every fee is up i tried a few other wallets.
You can also set your fee to really low but a miner but not pick it up and gets held up in the blockchain pending for ages. Pay high fees they get it faster.

Could it be high fees at the moment? I've had similar with other wallets, they're taking their cut before being sent. But that's high for exodus though.
I just kept refreshing page manged to send out the amount I needed to but still took over £5 🤬🤬🤬
Yeah, fees are a killer. Good job you're sorted though. Hope your purchase was worth the stress!

Reasons for May BTC processing slowdowns
To be fair here, its transaxe that is taking the hit not lb. lb is inviting new payment processors to compete with transaxe.
Reasons for May BTC processing slowdowns
There has been a significant increase in bitcoin usage due to the introduction of ordinals, a new data inscription method that works like NFTs. Interestingly, memecoins, which are mainly on Ethereum, have also contributed to the increased usage of bitcoin. It's possible that many individuals are rushing to free up their bitcoin to invest in Ethereum-based coins.
Be aware that converting bitcoin to monero is currently not recommended due to high fees, which can be as high as 40% of your transaction.
In the short term, LB are taking the hit on sellers receiving fees from escrow and to cushion the effect of increased fees. This is a smart move by LB, and many, including me, appreciate the gesture and efforts made to ensure the ship runs as smoothly as possible in this storm.
In the long term, we need to embrace monero, as it's designed for anonymous purchasing and has low transaction fees. Unlike bitcoin, it's less likely to experience fee spikes and won't likely get used for NFTs.
We express our appreciation and respect for the LB team and all LB members feeling the pain right now.

how to break the reaching for a beer habit....suggestions please
tape this to your fridge
Tea mate. I drink gallons of the stuff. It's not the alcohol that's the habit. It's just having something there. I find tea just as satisfying.
Same problem over here.
I just don't drink on a 'school night' now.
If you can go Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday without a drink (I just have edibles and drink water) but drink on the other nights it gives your body a break and you often feel the benefit in the morning. It's not a perfect solution but it works for me. Baby steps!
Best of luck.

Coffee machine, fresh ground coffee, taylors of harrowgate is good (find it in supermarkets).
Use bottled water, nestle water is incredibly soft.

Tried one, thought “kill me now” and flushed the other five down the sink…no offence BD🥴👍
Same here.Tasted like rusty water. It's easier not to drink than to try and drink Heineken Zero!
Hehe…I honestly believe that beer needs to be a minimum of 5% abv before it’s really beer at all, but that’s just me!🤷♂️…my favourite beers are between 8.5-9.5% (Kwak, Tripel Karmeleit etc)🥰
Kwak is bang on! Supped it in Brussels they seve it in a mini yard of ale glass complete with a wooden frame to support the glass. Drinking in Belgium can get dangerous
When I’m one a edibles high I hit the beer and tequila like it’s my last day on earth 🙀🤩🥳
Been through it a few times, polly is right you need to really want to do it. I tend to lean towards exercise instead, it makes your body crave healthy food and drinks.
Step 1 - Go to a pub with mates
Step 2- Offer to buy a round
Step 3- Pay over 6 quid (!!!) for a pint
Step 4- ...and feel the butt-hurt ...
PS I'm still drinking beer but not that much

Think 1 day at a time. If you are not having a drink today its only for today. If a day is too long then break it down to an hour or even minutes.
I bought myself a coffee machine and made a hobby out of it although in this weather the temptation to reach in the fridge for an ice cold beer is too much
It’s all about a healthy relationship with alcohol, I use to drink a lot of cheap spirts/beers but I get nice flavoured Gins/tequilas still 37.5% like vodka) but taste good. I enjoy that a lot more getting tipsy drunk on good alcohol and crazy alex jones conspiracy videos 😂than getting bladdered on cheap beers/spirits
Just don't buy any beer. Put the kettle on when you get the craving. You'll be amazed how well having a cuppa instead works. Stopping myself buying it is a lot easier than having it in the fridge and trying not to crack one open.
Take naltrexone every day. This will stop the cravings;)
Kratom is also a good replacement for many.
Remember alcohol is a carcinogen in any amount . Good luck!

for me it's putin i'd like to talk some sense while the weed's still in him
Jesus would be a good call, if he could do that thing with the wine then think of the stash!😵💫🥰
I have nothing to back up this up because I haven’t looked but a yoga teacher once told me that Jesus smoked weed and did yoga… a lot!
That’s if he is real ?
Now I’m not saying he is or isn’t and a firm believer that you do what you want as long as you don’t impose your beliefs what ever they may be on me.
but I just find it wired how in the Middle East that Jesus had mates called Mathew, Mark, luke and John ?????

I have no doubt that Jesus was a real person and have read a number of good books on the subject. My favourite is ‘Holy Blood & The Holy Grail’ which examines the theory that Jesus was actually high born, had a real if tenuous claim to be King of the Jews and that this together with his non stop preaching is what pissed the Romans off. He actually married Mary Magdelane at the wedding at Cana (as a lowly carpenter’s son he would not have been invited to what was a society wedding) and because the Romans wanted rid of him his followers negotiated with Pontius to ‘disappear’ him rather than see him imprisoned and they did rather a good job of this! They cut him from the cross, hid him a got him out of there in what would become to be known as the ‘resurrection’.
He died not long after in Europe, but Magdelane was pregnant and there became a huge mission to protect his bloodline. The holy grail was in fact a symbol for her womb. She bore his child and died in France. The knights Templar have protected the bloodline and it’s believed his descendants are alive today.
Nice! 🥰🥰

Jesus was irrefutable as a real living person, Christians believe he was the son of God. Thats what their faith boils down to, you believe he could perform miracles or you dont, however Christ existed as a mortal being. Whether he rose from the dead etc is where faith derives, you believe or you dont.
Inglis83 that’s your prerogative and that’s my whole point wherever I agree or disagree is irrelevant to anyones opinion.

Me to man ✌️💨 honestly didn’t pick Jesus to spark a debate just thought why not he’s caused a pretty big stir real or not 😂
Hey dude.. I mean Jesus is a historical figure not just religious so as real as Henry the 8th or Julius Caesar.
Who knows what names they had in the Middle East thousands of years ago. The bible could be a fairy tale but there is a lot of evidence to suggest Jesus was a real person
That being said I think a lot of history is bolox so who knows really but it’s as good an answer as any not sure why your picking on me 😂
I’m spiritual but not Christian or religious so not imposing any beliefs on anyone

I agree I just thought Jesus was a funny answer and if I met him then I would get to find out some secrets 😉
People be free to believe what they want it dosnt bother me 😊

I'm 50/50 on whether that last point was tongue in cheek, but just in case it wasn't, the names of the Apostles are Anglicised from Aramaic (via Hebrew and Greek).
Many of you have already said so Jesus so going to have to go with Alexander Shulgin

Didn't murder anybody, didn't rape anybody, didn't rob anybody, didn't beat anybody, didn't lose – hmm – one fucking job, laughed my ass off, and went about my day. Sorry. Now, where's my commercial?

Snoop for me too. Everyone who has had the pleasure of smoking with him has a funny story. I’m not the biggest Kat Williams fan but his story is my favourite.
I used to walk about on Hampstead Heath at night sometimes, not because I am gay, but because I hoped to bump into George Michael cruising so that I could have a spliff with him.
What a wonderful man he was.

is cannabis addictive?
once you *need* it, for energy, for focus or sanity - you are addicted. its just easier than most drugs to stop becaused the physical need dissipates …
is cannabis addictive?
i feel like its not, but i do prefer to have it than not have it. my sister is convinced she is addicted to it.
Of course it is mentally addictive, Also when you stop you will get night sweats and have nightmares but it is very tame compared to other drugs and I find it easy to stop for long phases. It's easier to stop than say nicotine or caffeine which I found much more difficult to quit and would not take again but weed is small potatoes in comparison lol
About to start a t-break, yes it is addictive. Physical symptoms last up to 3 days, main impact for me is sleep or lack thereof. Psychological addiction is the worse part and many people have a problem overcoming it. My friend was at drug rehab (for opiates) and he told me there were quite a few people with weed addiction there.
Yes it absolutely is, mentally and physically, to what degree is down to personal biochemistry and how much you use. Don’t listen to others to tell you if you are addicted or not. Listen to your symptoms;)
I think it is addictive both mentally and physically but the withdrawals are a piece of cake imo compared to other drugs including tea and coffee. When I have a T break I usually get a bit of an upset stomach and have trouble sleeping and have zero appetite for about 3 days. Now before I used cannabis for the first time in my adult life I was addicted to opiates after I injured my back. These were tablets I got from my dr and then discovered I could buy them legally online. (Diyhdrocodiene) I developed a habit of about 70 tablets a day and the withdrawals from them were horrendous. Luckily for me my sister stepped into help and it was actually with the help of cannabis that I quit opiates. Sorry for going a bit off topic it just angers me that a wonderful plant like cannabis is considered illegal while dangerous drugs like the ones I mentioned are readily and legally available online. Have love and joy in your life it’s free!!
It's the same as drinking tea and coffee daily to function cannabis use is simular its more of a routine than addiction. The problems start when tobacco is added you'll think you really want a spliff for the pot but it's actually the tobacco that's being craved.
i think its not addictive but however ppl do become dependant on it to function normaly.
i myself think im not addicted.. as a recovering alcoholic alot of ppl will say im cross addicting but i say pish lol.. weed has managed to calm me down and stop me being violent it decreases my stress and anxiety enough for me to be 'normal' and function in this life..
i feel as if i had found weed sooner that my life would be so much different to what it is today..
and it also follows what rick simpson says about giving ppl 1g of concentrates every day will not only build their immunity to the concentrates but also to other things that are killing our bodies..✌

I've gotten by the last two weeks on a 0.5ml distillate vape, and it's kept the sweats at bay and i've been sleeping fine.
Once you've had many periods of time off it, voluntary or forced, always forced with me lol, but once you've experienced coming off it many times it's a walk in the park.
Here's the thing tho, no it's not addictive, however it is an intense hobby that can fill up a whole lot of time.
Some folks start the hobby when they wake and go pretty much all day and night doing it.
So, when it's time to say goodbye, voluntarily or forced, you better believe you're gonna miss it.
Peace out my Biggas, tomorrow i return to doing our much loved hobby and can't wait!✌️🎩
Still waters run deep
'99, bigga, guess who's back

Addiction is maybe too strong a word to use its more a craving like caffeine,though if you have weak willpower it can be difficult to stop especially if you have regular access to it.
Yes you do get some side effects like insomnia and crazy dreams when you stop but this is due to you once again experiencing REM sleep as THC fast tracks you through REM into deep sleep but it only lasts a few weeks and is not going to cold turkey you like narcotics or pharmaceuticals will.
I would say it is on par with things like caffeine and sugar which both have side effects when you cut them out of your system

i dont think its physically addictive, even though i medicate with it and my life is crap without it.
Unfortunately it's difficult view point, cannabis can very addictive.you can rely on it, it can make you feel "normal" or set a base line, but ultimately it's beneficial if you can view it as a medicine or suppliment.
The problem is this varys from person to person.
I currently taking fluoxetine daily, but I feel cannabis helps me more than phama, does that mean cannabis is more addictive?

yeh, its difficult to frame what addiction is, i need to medicate with it, does that make me addicted? kinda, i need it, im well rough without it and vomit quite easily, i think my sister might be medicating some deep seated psychological problems but she is using addiction to explain things.
i just feel its a really negative way to see yourself and cannabis.

The addiction side of cannabis has always been downplayed and the merits/positives lauded. But yes there "can" be mild/moderate addiction (unique to each individual) but give the naysayers an inch and they will turn that into a mile long "well I don't want my child addicted, homeless and a raping thief, keep that weed BANNED..." without putting the addiction into some sort of context.
It doesn't have to be negative, you can be "addicted" to anything. Surely if you really, really like something you are addicted to it? Sport, reading, rock climbing, waterslides, etc. etc. but with most of these if you died during one of them (maybe not reading!) people would comment: "died doing what they love" and not "their addiction was their undoing."
I prefer to think of it like this: I'm addicted to cannabis but not dependant on it. I think? You have posted a good question, which only seems to raise more questions in my mind. I think I need a toot... Not that I'm addicted! :)

Yup and you’ll get cold sweats, shivers and all sorts when giving up if a heavy smoker
From my experience and a couple of mates + support groups
From my experience and a couple of mates + support groups
how much is heavy use? used to drop a gram in a spliff but now do that over a whole day.
Ummm 10-20 joints a day at peak mate.
G a joint is up there, over a day shouldnt be too bad.
It don’t get everyone, some get worse than others, some symptoms not others.
If you fully quit though the thc leaving your body can be gnarly as the sleep and dream cycle is restored to “normal”
20 years heavy smoke before I first had a lengthy 6 month t break.
Fucked me up worse than coming off some of the highest doses of morphine given to someone my age in Europe or some shit
Pray none of you go through that if you do break, as not wishing that on anyone 😭

Same in here if i know it ages ago t break are good for you not only for tolerance but genuinely for your all balance in your body, Mary Jane can be a bech independence how you managing your "hobbies". The first tbreak can be tuff but after that is much better, definitely cold shower terapii and exercise helping you with it.
once you *need* it, for energy, for focus or sanity - you are addicted. its just easier than most drugs to stop becaused the physical need dissipates relatively fast.
without a shadow of a doubt
however where something like heroin will inevitably cause addiction in those who partake regularly I do not think the same is for weed.
I smoke/vape/eat daily and heavily. However when I fly to Dubai to see one of my childhood friends I will be out there for 2 weeks at a time and besides a bit of insomnia the lack of THC does not affect me at all. If anything I am lot more outgoing and energetic. On the other hand another one of my childhood friends becomes short tempered and his appetite becomes non existent if he doesn't blaze.
I think it affects people differently according to their individual body chemistry. So in short, yes it is addictive but not for everyone.

psychedelics and mental illness - a skeptical view

psychedelics and mental illness - a skeptical view
This is a well written article and I agree with him that research into psychedelics is pretty fraught with complications. On the other hand, his condescending tone is a bit uncalled for: he's using the data collected by researchers to disagree with their conclusions... the system works! Without these so-called 'activists'; there would be no data!
Sure, there is a conflation between activism and research, but that's the social context in which the research is being pursued. In an ideal world, research into legalisation and medical uses would be entirely separate... but alas! There has to be a process of disentanglement before truly rigorous, objective scientific research can be conducted.
R.D. Laing's writing on schizophrenia, for example, reads much more like activism when compared to the scientific research being conducted into the matter over the last few decades, because the context was completely different i.e. the massive upheaval in how we view and treat mental health. Social change affects scientific progress. Any attempt to deny this is foolish.
In my opinion, the core component of drugs and their effectiveness is dosage. If you take a fistful of LSD, or take a moderate dose every day for a week (guilty), you're greatly increasing the risk of something bad happening, rather than a satisfying or helpful trip. It's really that simple. With every other drug we take this for granted - the concept is hundreds of years old (Paracelsus). I reckon the bridge between science and activism lies within harm reduction. We can't truly ascertain whether a substance is 'good' or 'bad' because it's always going to depend.
Another one of my morning rambles after smoking some of DIUK's King Hassan. Thanks for posting the article!

I think the same could be said of any scientists who are researching into a new area - of course the researchers who are looking into a niche/relatively new field are going to be those with personal interest. I don't think it's at any risk of becoming an issue though. Not one psychedelic treatment is anywhere near being approved for human use as a prescribed medication (as far as I'm aware) and the majority of public and scientific opinion is that psychs should be kept illegal and are not a viable treatment option. I think we're seeing the same effects described in that article apply better to media - we as people with a 'special interest' in these products are seeing the news more often, and these news outlets are reporting on it because it's novel and exciting and 'counterculture'.
But I think yes, skepticism is to be favoured as with literally any new research or use for a compound - we do not have the evidence, we certainly do not have any longitudinal evidence and won't for many many years (decades most likely), and so we should not see these as a 'cure all'. The same can be said for any new trend/gimmick/craze. With that being said, research is promising and despite biases there is a decent amount that seems reliable. It's just something we'll have to keep any eye on for the future; it is far from being a confirmed treatment or something that will end up being rescribed to people in a few years.

There was decades of excellent research into psychedelics and the effects on mental health leading up to the 70s when nixons war on (all) drugs stopped it all. Researchers these days are building on that massive body of evidence
The Latest on Ketamine, Psilocybin, and MDMA FDA Approval (and Other Psychedelic Advancements).
How and why we engage with psychedelic compounds is quickly changing, thanks in large part to a plethora of ongoing medicinal research and shifts in policy.
Compounds once known for their recreational use —such as psilocybin and MDMA— are being closely examined for their potential in various treatments related to mental health.
Products that have been around for a long time hopefully have some medicine that works with out have so many bloody side effect if used properly.

Another great vr fighting game worth a look is gorn. Similar in many ways but a more animated wacky gladiator style with incredible physics. The weapons really feel accurate to the movement. Its only a cheap game, but after a few days does get a little repetitive, but great for 15 quid.

I've been waiting to see a psychologist on the NHS for a year. Finally I get the phone appointment, and they say that because I smoke weed, psychology is not a good fit for me. Any thoughts biggaz?
Look elsewhere. Even if you can convince this particular psychologist to see you, they are not a good fit. There are plenty of more open minded mental health workers and it can sometomes take going through a few before finding a good fit. If you can afford it, it's worth looking for a private therapist because you can go through profiles and see if they sound like a good match before contacting.
Who told you that? Was it a Clinical Psychologist, Assistant Clinical Psychologist, receptionist? I can’t imagine a Clinical Psychologist saying that.
Alcohol and drug use is often a symptom of underlying issues and many people use them to help them regulate both their emotions and their sympathetic nervous system, or as part as a pattern of behaviours or your rules for living.
A Clinical Psychologist will recognise this, do a full analysis and build a program using a range of techniques to address all of these.
If you have genuinely been turned away by a Clinical Psychologist because you smoke pot, I would be shocked.

I think she was a clinical psychologist. Her name started with "Dr". But I don't know that for sure. I was really disappointed because I was of the same opinion as you about clinical psychologists.
If she is a doctor then she will be a Clinical Psychologist. Shocking advise. Do you have her contact details so that you could email her your concerns and give her the opportunity to explain her reasons for not seeing you.
Don't go to Twitter that is sledgehammer. Speak to the person, speak to their boss. If not satisfied complain to the BPS. Do that before opening a health care professional, who has probably dedicated her career to helping others, to a Twitter pile on.
There are lots of reasons who a psychological therapy and weed may not mix - using weed to avoid feelings that need to be processed in therapy, being too stoned to remember what was said in the session are just two. Deciding whether therapy is going to be helpful is an individual thing with lots of variables. It is not as simple as saying using weed is ok or not while having treatment.

I just find it ridiculous how people stigmatised weed so much. Obviously some people use it for medical reasons. I wish you luck with all these supposed "doctors ".
Hey mate a long time ago I was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, recently this year I was also diagnosed with autism and adhd (Before adhd diagnosis they said maybe aspergers, it took a while for proper diagnosis).
I've always been upfront about my use of cannabis and it has never been a problem for me. I was successful in my application to Cancard and have had one for just over a year and a half.
What I do know about getting help with things like this is, it really does take a long bloody time, my autism and adhd diagnosis took a couple of years and now I think the waiting list has gone up even more.
There is a severe lack of funding and I don't think it's getting any better....
Keep on asking, you are doing the right thing in asking for help. As others have said ask for different opinions.
All the best,
AB.

My thought?: fucking outrageous…
Last time I had the temerity to ask a Consultant Specialist a few questions they said in a withering sarcastic way “oh, you’ve read a book have you?”….followed by “you are not going to get any better you know?”
I didn’t bang any pans for the NHS..,.

The nhs has some weird major issue with cannabis despite the first uk studies (project 21) showing 80% of people with anxiety and depression showed improvement using cannabis. You can however pay to see a private cannabis doctor who will prescribe it perfectly legal in the uk 😂 💰.. they are assholes same thing happened to me around 7 years ago turns out I have ptsd that has turned into functional neurological disorder now 🤦♀️ Back on the waiting list for cbt. I would try another doctor personally I think it’s slightly narsassistic to refuse to treat someone based on your own personal beliefs not any sort of real bloody evidence it is 💯 discrimination. I am sorry this has happened to you I hope you find the help you need 🙂
I’m no expert but I can see NICE guidelines saying something like.. if the patient is using any kind of none prescription drug the NHS aren’t going to pay for physiological treatment

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

what is a "unit" of ai?
what is a bigga for that matter? is it a person, many people, an a.i. bot? all of these entities can have a reputation in this kind of universe.
This is really a good point, people seem to imagine a singular a.i. hive mind, inevitably poised against humanity.
There's a potentially infinite number of intelligent entities with diversity along dimensions we can't even imagine yet.

Apophenia - Seeing connections like everywhere
Apophenia can be considered a commonplace effect of brain function. Taken to an extreme, however, it can be a symptom of psychiatric dysfunction, for example, as a symptom in paranoid schizophrenia, where a patient sees hostile patterns (for example, a conspiracy to persecute them) in ordinary actions.
Apophenia is also typical of conspiracy theories, where coincidences may be woven together into an apparent plot.

Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV)
which strains we talking bout?
Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV)
Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV) is a compound in cannabis that offers a unique array of effects and medical benefits that sets it apart from other cannabinoids like THC and CBD. As its name suggests, THCV is similar to THC in molecular structure and psychoactive properties, but it provides a variety of pronounced and altogether different effects. A note for vaporizer enthusiasts: THCV has a boiling point of 428 °F (220 °C), so you’ll need to turn it up higher than you would THC. THCV is prevalent in certain central Asian and southern African strains of Cannabis.
I watched a greenhouse seeds YouTube video and they found and made a Congolese strain with 1% thcv which was the highest back then
It is prevalent mainly in Sativa strains. Have linked a decent read which lists Durban Poisin, Skunk #1 and pineapple purps amongst others.

Entrepreneurs Will Get Us Into Space
Scrappy garage style is how we get to the next generation of space travel.
Saw this comment from the White House: “WW3 has already started. We just haven’t admitted it yet…”
Thats a very frightening statement,although I kind of agree as well...I think the sanctions though in time,if ratcheted up ever faster & harder,will eventually choke the "gangster regime" and make them 100% pariah state that they deserve to be,hopefully eventually ending in a coo followed by regime change from within..I'm forever the optimist though!
They lied to us about how this war started. This is Iraq all over again. Trying for regime change in Russia would be inviting nuclear war.
Putin has never been more popular in Russia.
We have zero business intervening in Ukraine.
Stop getting your news from state media.

I heard on radio just now that 47% of their population aged between 20 to 40 years are currently considering immigrating to other countries,so if this is the case....change is already happening.
Everything you hear on mainstream media is propaganda. We're currently more propagandised than even the Russians.
It seems as though the U.N have started to fold... the super power of the world is slipping away from America and Europe and drifting into the hands of putin and China...
China and Russia have been communicating about this for years... since 2021 (b4 Ukraine) China's sales from Russia went from 9% to over 36%... that doubled the year after!!!
The USA and UK blew up the pipe line to inflate prices on its own partering countries whilst China and Russia are creating an alliance that will see the rest of us diminish...
There's a reason Russia waited till after the Olympics b4 invading Ukraine..

Maybe,maybe not it might just be to sell lots of weapons so they can try and fix the inflation and devaluation in currency everybody was facing after the plague and having idiots that cant count in charge that have screwed up taxation for years,nothing like a war for making profit unfortunately Ukraine got the short straw.
They are all mental and need a smoke to chill the fuck out.

Exactly. And now with the BRICS and the ending of the dollar as the world's reserve currency , the US and it's vassal states are trying to create chaos so they can try to salvage some wealth from their failing empire.
i think china could bust a move, the world doesn't have the will to even sanction them.
Hey..where does that Adolf Putrid toilet paper come from mate?...Id love to wipe my arse on his face every morning!!! LOL!
Remember the two minutes of hate from 1984 ?
These are the emotions they want to evoke in us with their propaganda. Putin is no more evil than Boris or Biden . Maybe even less so.

The USA is going to send 300,000 troops to Europe and also base Naval ships next to Spain.

We are now in a race to arms and NATO has declared war on Russia and China.
Does not look good.

Well, the world is complex. During the cold war there was more peace than usual, the Nuclear stalemate reduced the number of wars. It's only since it ended you see the re-emergence of historical conflicts and fabricated wars against terrorism. That was really alarming. You no longer had an identifiable enemy but was in a never ending war against a 'tactic'. I'm inclined to think, conversely, that WWIII would create more peace as strange as that sounds because it would only be in name and not actual rockets falling, the war has been raging in the cyber space for decades and is apparently the real battleground. Whats happening in Ukraine is a travesty but sometimes good things come from adversity. Another misconception is WWII was wholly terrible, and it was, but again it turned out to be one of the best things to ever happen for the poor. Why? WWII directly led to the introduction of the Welfare State, Free healthcare, minimum wage, pensions etc.. which all primarily benefited the very poor at a huge cost to life but those policies are still in place today, imagine if they weren't. Its a messed up world and maybe I have a messed up view.
This is a very bad thing for people everywhere.
We should be as strongly opposed to this war as we were to invading Iraq but this time their propaganda is on point. The stakes this time are far higher.
Wouldn't the money be better spent on the NHS ?
Who exactly are we trying to help anyway ?

Possibly the 'safe' countries to hide. How to make more money. Too stoned to think of anything else lol! Global warming could also be the deciding factor!

Decentralised legal System
I love the way Wesley thinks:
"DECENTRALIZING THE WORLD 2.0 --
After decentralizing money, we will no decentralize the Law.
You probably heard of Bitcoin. Last year's hype has gotten a lot of people very excited. Why is this?
Well, Bitcoin is a new kind of money. It gives people the freedom to transact with one-another -- without the need for a third party (bank, paypal, atm's, currency exchanges) or central authority (government, central banks).
It allows you to send payments all over the world: instantly, with very low fees and without needing anyone's permission. The amount of freedom, and efficiency- and cost-savings this will provide in the near future is going to be huge!
HOWEVER, that's not all...
People have been looking at how these technologies can be used to improve other areas of society. This resulted in a lot of new ideas about LAW and GOVERNANCE; from self-enforcing online contracts, the way companies are incorporated, to the way court hearings are done (and enforced), and even to the creation of online countries (?!).
I was enthusiastic about these developments. But the better I studied them, the more whitepapers I read, the more I realized that something is missing. Basically, all these projects act like they are in a vacuum. As if all we need is a few superiors lines of code, and all current laws and legal systems will be replaced. But laws matter. They did not fall from the sky, and they are not going away.
Frankly, what is missing, is a "Legal Framework" -- a way to merge these technologies with the real world. A framework for decentralized law making, arbitration and enforcement. And as I found out, our existing legal systems allows a lot of room for that!
And thus I introduce:
The DECENTRALIZED LEGAL SYSTEM -- The first enforceable framework for Decentralized Law.
To create this system, I studied different decentralized legal projects and existing relevant laws -- all the way back to the ancient Greeks, to figure out what law actually is. In the end, I tied this all together in a straightforward peer-to-peer system that can govern (and enforce) future decentralized systems.
I made this simple website, where you can see the executive summary and download the whitepaper:
https://decentralizedlegalsystem.com/
Let me know what you think, and feel free to share with people you think might find this interesting.
Cheers!

Smart contracts are a great improvement over the legal system, no arguing, no check is in the mail, just events and payments.
Makes sense as we have to do something brfore the system crashes down...but in the UK the entire legal profession just exists to keep the people from what is lawful, which is quite different.
we still have common law. in it there is no place for corporations, fines or lawyers...we just need to get rid of the crooks and use it again. All written down in magna carta. No legal 'acts' are lawful nor are acts of parliament...we have the shape of a system in place but we forgot it due to poor education and brainwashing by the media.
Maybe we should return to that.

Thank you for your question.
I think that by creating state machinery that allows coordination of social, military, political action on large scale over a big territory (including multiple cities), people unwittingly forged chains that could be broken only by the progress of modern times. Which made possible the education, instruction, information and coordination of the struggle of the working classes on an equally large scale.
History (theory), being unable to explain "failures" of many revolutions, has just chosen to ignore them by refusing to take into account all the authentic "unsuccessful" revolutions in history.
Revolutions happen more often than we think and are not always covered in blood and change of regimes.
That said, yes, believe it has to be a revolution, not necessarily ones whose images we have imprinted in our consciousness by history/media/etc.
Pretty much same as invention of bitcoin. Revolution that happened in front of our eyes and is still going on.

What if Reparations for Slavery were Paid Instead of Bank Bail Outs?
I was just thinking about all the billions paid to banks to keep the economy going after they fucked it up. What if instead of that we let the banks fail and didn’t pay anything beyond deposit insurance. Then to prop up the economy we paid the descendants of slaves the same money that we gave to the banks. Wouldn’t that stimulate the economy in a way that made our society a better one instead of ever worse?
But why is the US Federal Gov the plaintiff? They fought against slavery with everything they had, 100 years later they peacefully fought the South against segregation. I think something is owed but the feds are the good guys on this one.
HONESTLY I USED TO BE ON THE FENCE ABOUT REPARATIONS COS ALTHOUGH THERE WERE GRAVE INJUSTICES DONE HOW DO YOU IDENTIFY WHO TO GIVE THE MONEY TO? AND THERE WERE AFRICANS WHO PROFITED TO WHERE DO THEY LAY? BUT THEN I HEARD GOVERNMENTS WERE PAYING FUCKING DESCEDENTS OF SLAVEOWNERS UP UNTIL 2015! SO CLEARLY REPARATIONS WAS NEVER THE ISSUE JUST WHO WAS TO GET EM!
The entire financial system is a ponsi scheme and always has been...the banks dont have any real money....we are taxed 97p in the pound, removing that would free the economy.
and,...slavery???
what about the 1,000,000 white people taken from the shores of europe by the north african slavers? do we get anything? and will the millions of black africans who created and profited from the slave trade and enslaved and murdered their own people have to pay?
and do we get the danegeld back?
slavery still exists, 6500 dead slaves in Qatar building stadiums for footballers to kneel down in....it is used to promote an anti white and democracy agenda by billioniares who would destroy our culture. stop mining lythium if you care about black slaves..oh no thats anti green.....
looking at 1 minute of a 24 hour clock and casting blame is how our idiot media works now for both slavery and climate propaganda...let's not encourage them ...

I really like this.
All comments more or less are about the idea of reparation, and mostly I agree.
But its not about reparation despite the title, its about where to best direct a stimulus package. My Everyman understanding of the Covid downturn is that the UK exchequer has licensed uk banks to loan to pretty much anyone with a business no questions asked, money that is created in the moment of granting the loan.
Equally you could hand it out in the street or mail cheques to people whether they need it or not. Give it to the living heirs of slaves or give it to banks to hand out in executive bonuses? Who's gonna make the most stimulus with it?

The MP for my old constituency (dorest) is Richard Drax, he's still sitting on all the wealth and land his family acquired. He sees no problem with owning land thousands of slaves were murdered on. Dispicable person.
Instead of hand outs, maybe being given equal opportunity in the work place truly would be a better start. Just an example here but how come I see a white bloke in charge of black football teams but you’ll never see a black or any shade darker than a beach tan running an English football team.
No, it would absolutely not stimulate the economy. You're sort of just blasting a random talking point without much thought to it.
The US also has no obligation to the present generation just because of the abuse of their black ancestors - such an assertion is just ridiculous.
If you think handing out free-money like that "stimulates the economy" then you are totally wrong. In fact, you are hurting the economy and society by making light of racial issues where they already have no place.

Governments hand out money its just a matter of who they give it to. In the USA they have handed money to banks and hedge funds via 0% loans.
I think reparations for stealing human beings is a better idea than this, the money will get spent stimulating the working economy rather just pumping up the stock market.

A future with weed as a Class A?
I noticed this on my daily browsing and it got me thinking.
On one hand, I don't think this will actually get any traction, it's just out-of-touch relics passing judgement on something they clearly don't understand. Given the resistance this move would (hopefully) face from most politicians and police chiefs, I really don't see it going anywhere.
That said, some areas of mainland Europe have gone heavily right-wing over recent years and I asked myself what a near future in the UK would look like should these fuckwits somehow get their way...
I only found out about LB earlier this year and it came at the time when I needed it most. I had to relocate and had no local contacts so had to rely on others to get weed for me. I use weed to help treat depression and not knowing when I could next score caused me no small amount of anxiety. Finding this community changed that and I'd hate for it to be taken away by some bellends that can't tell the difference between cannabis and heroin.
I get that one of the reasons for LB's longevity is the fact it doesn't offer hard drugs which presumably keeps the feds from taking too much notice, but would that potentially change if cannabis was changed to being a Class A substance?
As a customer, I could still claim ignorance of any packages which were intercepted so it wouldn't dissuade me from buying on LB but not sure how vendors would feel given the more severe penalties for supplying.
On one hand, I don't think this will actually get any traction, it's just out-of-touch relics passing judgement on something they clearly don't understand. Given the resistance this move would (hopefully) face from most politicians and police chiefs, I really don't see it going anywhere.

Hey bro! I really hope you’re able to overcome your mental health issues, weed and hash also helps me with mine and I honestly love the LB community and the weed smokers community in general ❤️ It’s so heart breaking seeing the UK slowly crumble away with all these new issues :( whilst the majority of the world are legalising, our homeland is considering making our Mother Nature derived coping mechanism into a class A substance 😭 I strongly believe and hope the community will stand against this bullshit from happening
Thanks dude, same to you. I've been living with these issues for 31 years so doubt they'll ever go away but the bud certainly helps. It's not all about medication though, tbh - I really enjoy getting high! 😂
Here's hoping that the Tories get their marching orders at the next election and we see a more progressive government next time.

‘No plans’ to change classification of cannabis to Class A, says No 10
The new Home Secretary is more evil than Sauron himself.
She obviously is trying to raise her profile with the fr-right fringes of the Tory party which is what all this Rwanda deportations and Class A bollox about.
Given how the Tories are pissed off with the current Government she will be one of many having to walk the plank in the end (hopefully).
The best way to prevent this of course is to defeat them at the ballot box which we should all do when the time comes :-)
Mind you other countries such as France aren't any better off these days even though people smoke a lot over there.
Cheers

Yeah, I think you're right. With all the opposition the current government have even from within their own party, I really hope the next election sees them booted out.
I'm just glad I don't live in Italy, they're scarily close to being back in the Mussolini era. Not sure what that means for smokers there but I can't imagine it's anything good.

It's the hypocrisy that gets me. UN says the UK is the largest EXPORTER of medical marijuana but our government says it has no health benefits.
Indeed, they're happy to produce it and sell it to other countries for a profit but it's too dangerous for us citizens...? 🤔
The usual double standards, I'm guessing they fail to see the irony of locking up small-time dealers whilst trading in vast quantities of weed themselves!

And with the "cost of living crisis" or as I like to call it "our last chance to rob the plebs blind before the next election" I'm surprised they haven't looked at legalising and taxing it. Tbh I would pay more in tax if it was legal

Study Suggests CBD extends human life
Caenorhabditis elegans is often used in preclinical lifelong toxicity studies, due to an estimated 60–80% of their genes having a human ortholog, and their short lifespan of ∼2–3 weeks.
And they love weed apparently.

blockchain governance?
It's a vague term but putting all records on a blockchain, accessible and incorruptible is a great foundation for the next level of government.
1 - people don't vote, coins do
2 - various schemes try to prevent power from consolidating at the top
i don't think there is any getting around plutocracy, some schemes embrace this grim reality others embrace gamification, god bless em.

I don't see it happening, bitcoin and the like had an incentive to be open and decentralized. Existing power structures have disincentive to do this to themselves.
Her Majesty's Treasure has took a recent interest if you look down the twitter, definitely possible.

Irish customs
Anyone else having problems getting through Irish customs in the last few weeks?
I know a few lads that have been having issues, myself included. Like Kilkenny below, I had one that is apparently still at Dublin Parcel Hub but that was literally 6 weeks ago and is long gone lol.
From what I've read and heard, Athlone is the real problem area. I have had a 1 package show as delivered but wasn't and a 14g parcel show up empty. Things seem to be hit and miss lately but a few months back I had zero issues so it's possible there is just heavier monitoring etc.
The only thing I will say is that I have NEVER had an order from TGT not show. Credit where it's due, their stealth is top of the heap in my opinion.

Is tgt stealth different to the rest? Most are just vac sealed in a foil smell proof bag that I have got. I was getting most of mine from ndwuk but they seem to have disappeared
I wouldn't say different as such, just very professional looking. For obvious reasons I can't give away their stealth and what have you but I have had about 15+ order from them and all have been spot on. Zero smell and always on weight.

That’s damn dog!
That’s damn dog!
It needs to be killed. I wonder are there any parasites/ diseases from abroad that irish dogs aren't vaxxd for. I wounder would corona make it lose its sense of smell
Had one package that never left the Dublin parcel hub, there since 05/09/20. No love letter or nothing. Some people saying a postal worker is taking a few of them, don't know for sure though
Had pack seized , got customs letter, if u don't get letter it's most likely someone working in post office
Yeah I got my 50% reship there yesterday and another package came a couple a days after that one was seized.
Yeah man. Addresses don't get flagged, not as far as I am aware. I suspect it's just when this one particular person may be working but it's all spectaculation on my part. Address wouldn't get flagged unless your ordering kilos.
Just logging on to see if anyone is getting any thru (20/09/21). Dont see point ordering if there are so many seizures- anyone ordered from Hootan lately? (Eu)
Got stuff from hashishin last week,so ordered off DIUK twice last week first one received today so stuff is getting through happy days 20/09/21 hashishin was oil and amazing stealth and DIUK was RSO great stealth as well
Ya I got an oz off him for $200 arrived in 5 days, he's back to the UK soon that's why his prices are low
I'M BACK AND AS MANY CAN VOUCH I CAN CONSISTENTLY BEAT IRISH CUSTOMS. WAS OFFERING 100% REFUND IF SEIZED BEFORE MY HIATUS
Ya never let me down great to see ya back hans can finally start buying again as your the only vendor I trust with it arriving
bigga it ALL comes down to Irish customs. Specifically the custom of drinking oneself to death. This must be protected.
have you noticed the customs letters never have the right amount on them. always at least 50% extra or doubled.
I had a package opened by customs , they opened everything but left the RSO I ordered , no love letter , customs tape on the envelope , did I find the only sound customs man ?
That’s very interesting. I received an order recently. The letter and package was open and you could clearly see what was inside. Was still delivered! Are customs officers getting tired??
I have an order that’s in Dublin since 30/08. Every 2nd day it says post received and sorted but no sign of it being dispatched. No idea what’s going on!
postman stole it. Sometimes mine holds onto it for a few days after he receives it- reckon he knows whats going on. All they need to do is stick a needle in if they suspect, and they'll get the smell- are u gonna complain to an post if your weed was stolen?
Just had the same thing happen to me. Just curious, did you order again with delivery to the same address? Wouldn't that be risky?
Are there any Irish dealers on here?
Are there any Irish dealers on here?
I once received a delivery from one vendor and a letter from customs the same day. Unless you're importing kilos I wouldnt worry. Always good to be careful though. There was an Irish vendor on here but didnt last long unfortunately. Im amazed, serious coin to be made from Irish customers.
Depends if its actually sent when they say it's sent, at the moment it might take longer shit going on over there with shortage of lorry drivers or something, I've had 1 which I never received, didn't get the dreaded customs letter either, how long you waiting
Yeah that's it load off shit with lorry drivers going on there.. waiting about 2 weeks.. vendor definitely sent it never had any problems before probably take longer customs on both sides now..don't need another one off those letters
Jesus 2 weeks is a long time dude I'd give it few more day's but it shouldn't take much longer hopefully you have it before the weekend, best of luck dude hope it comes for ya
Yeah I hope so even just the love letter lol hopefully I will this seller spot on but alot had changed in last few months

Hey biggas hope you're all having a nice high weekend, i'm not, thanks to royal mail strikes!
anyway just wanted to bring this up for probably the 10th time this year, we NEED the site to switch from the use of dollars to the obviously more sensible option of british pounds, the conversion rate right now is so fucked and it's costing vendors lots of money and costing buyers shitloads of money having to deal with this!
EVERY SINGLE DOLLAR NOW COSTS YOU 10P MORE THAN IT DID MERELY A FEW WEEKS AGO, LET THAT SINK IN FOR A MOMENT!
it's making every single order a decent amount more expensive and it's all adding up very fucking quickly, not to mention the price of everything everywhere going up, and all this for what? surely it's literally the click of a button to change the sites currency from stupid $ to £... what are we waiting for seriously? and why does it constantly have to be bought up for nothing to ever be done about it? it's leaving a really shit taste in my mouth after every order knowing i'm being bent over by extra costs out of our control that could be solved at the click of a button for an LB admin months and months ago... what is going on....

If things keep going at this rate it will be $1:£1 before the end of the year, which seems absolutely insane but it's probably going to get even worse than that...
Anyway please borgs make the change, you know it makes sense <3

honestly within the context of this site and without trying to gaslight any biggas, this is probably one of, if not the most important subject / topic of discussion we could possibly be having right now, please do not let this slide this time biggas
we need as much attention and votes drawn to this as possible, this affects every single one of the sites users with every single order, this needs to sorted with the utmost of urgency, the damage has already been done for months now and it only gets worse with every single order

Sadly I don't think a lot on here realise how much both vendors and customers are being shafted by the conversion.
I think we need *every* currency here and as a European changing to £ would suck worse. at least the $ is a standard for the world if you are only going to have 1.
we don't need every, and we dont need another brexit axis either. we just need major currencies and btc and let the users choose.
Good point well made, I think with the general instability of the world economy LB need to ensure the site remains economically viable, peeps are skint or more skint than usual and it is going to get worse. Thank you Hesh for taking the time to Spearhead this, it’s is indeed of benefit to all users, get behind this biggas before the algos sink the subject again
Thanks for helping keep this topic visible Emz, and also adding your take on it which i couldn't agree with more! things are getting worse VERY quickly and we can't just sit around doing nothing
i'm going to bump this topic every single day till we hear from a borg / admin, the algo's trying to sink it as fast as possible it seems

Thanks, hesh. This needs to be addressed NOW. Glad I'm not alone in feeling arse-reamed by a failure of LB to act ethically. This STINKS: sort it out or I for one will look for alternatives as anal isn't my thing.
Man every single order is over 10% more expensive than it was a couple weeks ago, it's so bad i was not happy making an order earlier knowing i'm overpaying for no reason
it's not just the 10% either it's having to buy even more BTC to cover the extra cost meaning more fees for buying the BTC etc etc...

Is anyone able to explain to me why vendors are losing money by having the site set in $? I totally understand how it costs more for buyers, but surely vendors are making more ££ profit if they don't adjust $$ prices downwards periodically? Is it to do with vendor fees being in $ too?

Thanks for bringing further attention to this topic, I appreciate it!
my understanding was, in the case of vendors, the overall price of orders is unnecessarily higher than it needs to be (because of the exchange rate) which will lead to a loss in sales during a time where sales are likely to be down already due to the current economy, just another lose lose situation
just a quick tidbit, but transaxe, LB's payment processor, works in BTC not £ or $, and the fees are a fixed percentage, so i cannot see a reason for this change not to be implemented ASAP

Fully agree can't see LB acting though they will just sit back and watch the impending doom.
Also take into account by the years end markets are going to crash, housing, stocks & crypto's which would take the BTC price to around 10k so vendors also have that to look forward to.
Not only did vendors get hit bad at the start of the year and most are still recovering from that tidal wave we now have a perfect storm brewing and what do we do?? We keep on lowering our prices!!
This is a huge car crash just waiting to happen!!
The only way is to either put your prices up to give yourself a buffer which would mean losing biz or all vendors go on strike till it's sorted which won't happen either.
Otherwise, vendors will be crying in their coco pops after the crash realizing they have been wiped out!

I managed to get stocked up well with one of RealD's promos at the end of June, so I've been pretty well insulated from the exchange rate shenanigans the last couple of months. Now it's time to start looking for a top up and I'm feeling it...
I can't say that it's going to stop me from buying from any vendor on here, mostly due to convenience (its a fecking nightmare finding a dealer irl when your body is fucked and you don't particularly like dealing with people in person), but if the actual dollar prices on here start to rise alongside the exchange rate tanking and all the fees that come with using bitcoin, on my budget, it would definitely force a rethink.
So yeah, I agree with the suggested change and will follow/bump your thread, in hope more than expectation.

dollars is just a denomination, anyway you slice it the sellers will need to explicitly lower their prices if buyers are going to realise any gain here.
it's not just a denomination, prices on here are incredibly rarely / not at all adjusted to the constantly changing exchange rate of dollars to pounds, leading to inherent and frankly unnecessary instability for everyone along with the added instability of bitcoin, it's a lose lose situation, since the vast majority of the buyers on here will have £'s in their bank account, not $'s
a $60 order a month ago was considerably cheaper than a $60 order today for example, and prices haven't changed to account for the devaluing £
there's no need for any of this to happen, which is unanimous at this point, absolutely everyone will gain from this with immediate effect

They definitely do, as we've had changes made before via threads / voting / topics etc
but of course we can't ever seem to actually correspond with the 'admin' so to speak, for obvious security reasons but it's incredibly frustrating!
there's been a LOT of good vendors who have abandoned this place recently due to the total lack of communcation between the vendors and the people who run the site and the glaring issues that still plague the site
there's tens of thousands of £ going through this site on a weekly basis yet it's somehow next to impossible to get even simple changes implemented
I need to make an order right now but it's going to be £15 more expensive than it was a month ago, because we are STILL USING THE WRONG FUCKING CURRENCY
i cannot understand how this issue isn't at the forefront of everyone's mind in the context of this site, this should literally be pinned to the top of the topic wall with hundreds of votes and replies till it's corrected!

Sounds like they need to get on top of it before somebody else dives in and a creates a modern lb type platform with all of the good features and things we wish for here. I can't be too critical of lb though. They are my only platform for buying my medicine. I don't know any real life dealers as I was late to the weed game and none of my friends partake. We all want everything cheaper in life and ultimately somebody usually loses out but this currency change we are after is a win for all three parties involved, vendors, customers and lb devs.
Is that the official Littlebiggy response? Get the vendors to pay the extra on top of the 15% ?
yes a borg pointed out that every seller needs to change their prices for any effect so why not do this now?
Who else thinks the admin have malicious intent with no changing over to £, I mean obviously there must be a reason why when it makes obvious sense for everyone
Apologies if I’m being totally dumb here, does happen a lot, but I don’t understand how the dollar - sterling exchange rate is affecting anything.
My understanding is the dollar price next to items is a guide price only, the real price is the bitcoins and it doesn’t matter if your in the UK or the US the bitcoin price is the cost regardless of what currency you are buying bitcoins in.
Are you buying dollars with sterling then buying bitcoin? Or selling coins for dollars and converting to sterling?
Apologies if I’m missing something obvious here.

Apologies if I’m missing something obvious here.
Let's use a simplified example..
Vendor uploads new item and wants to sell it for £10.
The exchange rate is £1 = $0.50.
Vendor sets a price of $20.
Pound weakens and now £1 = $1.
This means the vendor has to change the price or the buyer has to pay more for the same thing.
As vendors usually sell more than 1 item and the value of the £ is changing so rapidly, it either costs the vendors lots of time to keep the prices accurate or lots of money in lost sales because people don't buy due to increase in price.
Hope this helps explain things :)

It does somewhat mate thanks
I do keep an eye on the btc prices of items and I see them change quite often as much as 10 times an hour, as the price of btc moves.
Do those vendors have to manually adjust their prices or is there a sql script do it?
Seems sensible to have a scriot that’ll adjust the retail price as coin value moves

Newbie "kid in a candy store" syndrome?
I'm very new here. Have put in three orders but thanks to the RM strikes haven't received any of them yet. I'm hyper like a kid waiting for Christmas! But, having found this site another problem is I want to buy everything. I assume that's a common issue among newcomers?
We all have things in our carts saved for when we have to make a decision come pay day. Having found LB only around 6 months ago I find myself here daily just checking in with the topics/posts and I end up adding something to my cart everytime. I'd be lost without this place as I don't know of a backup. Which items did you go for mate?
Having found it I can't quite believe it's real to be honest. I kind of want to buy as much as I can in case it disappears. Stupid I know
It's not stupid at all. I've been buying more than I consume and have some items stocking up. If stored well they can last a while. I was so sceptical of LB at first myself, to the point I was convinced all of the 'users' here were super advanced bots having conversations with eachother.
if u weren't sceptical of this site at first u probably the type of dude to believe anything:D I sware I've made locals in my small city loose shit tons of business got everyone I know on here lol
I found Lb just after the first lockdown. Its been disastrous for my bank account but thats the only downside as far as I can see/be arsed to look for! The kid in the sweet shop thing sounds familiar. Just get about 10 different items in your cart from a handful of vendors and it'll be like Christmas all week ;-)
It’s not stupid at all…every time LB goes down for ‘technical reasons’ I go into a blind panic and then buy everything when it comes back. I’m sure they only do it to boost sales! 😵💫😂
for real I love coming on here and learning more about bud, getting excited for deliveries. I'm glad I didn't have to download a tor browser or go to my old local anymore, been on here for like 4 months and it's a blessing!

This part "holy shit i'm free!" has been the best one for me so far.
First found out about LB in Feb after being let down (temporarily) by local guy and took the plunge this Summer after more supply issues.
Not having to go through all the usual bollocks of sourcing it on the street is pure liberation.
And that's before even talking about quality, choice, prices and the fact that the only risk you take is when the postman hands over the parcel :-)

Good luck buddy, your going to have a blast but it’s going to be expensive. I literally spent thousands when I first joined and stalked my postman with the gusto of a young David Attenborough.
It’s like living in a damm cafe and with the next day delivery equally dangerous and amazing. Enjoy bud excuse the pun, if your after a total treat try out Canadian imports Gary Payton x runtz it’s the best weed I’ve had this year bar speaker knockers

I got carried away buying weed at first too. Like you said, stock up before it goes pear shaped.
I found cannazon first and think I wore out my postman and my bank balance and I had like 15 strains on the go at one point. It was fooking great!
Calmed down a bit now to avoid a divorce!!!! 😂
But this place is great, so easy to use and decent choice and nice like minded folk on the whole.

Enjoy mate, few of my fav vendors:

Riley packs

Bulldog
Canadian imports (yet to try but always looks sick with high reviews)
I'm sure I missed a few the other biggas can fill in, but those are always on point 🤜

I totally agree with what has been said so far. I’ve only been using LB for about 5/6 months
I was introduced to LB by a mate.
I was like fuck off no chance am I fuck ordering you will get bumped but then I took the plunge as it was the only way to get carts as I did ok for bud off my local.
I used the gorilla 🦍 warfare tactic of in purchase piss off.
Then the “issues” start because you scroll 📜 and your like a kid in a candy store.
I also started to use the topics page more to find new sellers and gather info and talk shit about cannabis in general. Most have committed. Hope your all good.
Anyway carts lead to bud and bud lead to and truly I can’t believe I’m typing these words HASH. Yes you read that correctly
Working my way up to science weed lol 😂
Like everyone else finically I have been ass raped but all in a good cause lol 😂
The main thing is enjoy and it’s not a sprint it’s a marathon. A journey as sorts
Just remember the wise words of the profits Cypress Hill
Inhale exhale I just got a once in the mail

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

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

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

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

I use them as an when. Depends on the situation and does well I’m my opinion as a combo.
Been enjoying finding what combos work well 😵💫😵💫😵💫🤦♂️

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

Buying in South Africa
Based near Capetown, can anyone please advise on buying on Little Biggy, especially around safety issues (stealth) & whether it's safer to buy from within SA borders, as opposed to having stuff imported.
I'd be grateful for any advice/help here, as it's not for me, but for a friend who is living in SA & I've told them about LB & how trustworthy I've found it.
Much appreciated.

If they want to buy on LB I would recommend Hashishin for ultimate stealth and global tracked delivery included in the price. And fabulous product! 😻👍

Cape Town, South Africa
Smoking tolerance level [1= very illegal 5=virtually legal]: 4.3
Legislation: possession, as in Johannesburg, is illegal. If you are caught you will likely get your weed confiscated, but as long as it is only a small amount a fine will be the harshest of penalties. The general hysteria at the moment is tik (crystal meth). This largely overshadows weed.
Law Enforcement: Police tend to target the producers and dealers with big busts rather than the man smoking on the street. There is also the ADT (main security/ armed response) they drive around in Cars, on bikes and on foot. Be wary of the drivers and their vicous egos, but the riders and walkers will likely sell you weed.
Where to Buy Marijuana in Cape Town: Mainly Nigerians and Rastas. These Nigerians are often refugees without work permits and thus have to deal. They will generally identify themselves with rasta colors. A good way to find out if someone will sell is to say something like: “Chise Iree” or “Do you have ganja” or rub your fist in on palm as if mulling weed in it. This is well recognized.
Cape Town Marijuana Brands and Marijuana prices:
Good swaz for about R50 a bankie. Price goes up to R100 or R120 for very good weed. Often sold in grams at R20+ per gram.
Another type of weed is turries which is very cheap and very crap. It can be easily found in townships and is often sold by bergies (hobos). Some people can take this stuff but it really is very low quality. It is rather yellowish in colour.
Brands: Mainly Swazi (from swaziland). This is my staple diet down here. You can buy other weed from shops in town. A good name to remember is “African Village”, above “Little Amsterdam”, a head shop in town.
More Information: It is good to keep in mind South Africa’s previous ‘apartheid’ regime.
A reporter of WeBeHigh.com had this experience: I bought one bankie,and was caught by police.I`m a foreigner tourist.
I spent 12 hours in prison,and payed a 200 rands fine.
Other then that,I was scammmed twice before getting the ganja that took me
to jail.
Cape Town is rough for ganja.
Hope this helps others.
African prisons SUX!!! so stay away from them.

i always try things and end up with various extracts or joints i've rolled then put to the side - new bud arrives i get too excited to try....so instead of going on trips to find kid and teen free places to leave it in the hopes of someone finding and wanting....i was wondering if anyone knew of any geocache type things for our kind of people?
currently 3 * 5-7ml bottles of canna oil (3000mg thc total), a tube of resin, 5 assorted doobs of good weed and various caps.
don't wanna throw away all bought from littlebiggy vendors rated 9.6/10 and up so quality is fine I just ain't gonna use.

Not sure those caches would last very long. Some twat would register then go around and steal all the caches and punt them for smack.
Still shocked anyone has spare weed, wth is spare weed.

Is this anyway to run a business? This sucks so badly I feel like a kid again ripped off and there's little I can do about it. I have extended my order, but am unsure of what to do from this point? I can see TGT hasn't logged in for 3 days now. But I also see people complaining here with the same issue which is fueled by the complete lack of comms and not knowing if I'll get my money back. What an absolute ballache.
How does one go about opening a dispute, plz? I've looked and googled but haven't found anything. Any tips appreciated.

the moral inferiority of veganism
farm work still has a hand in the slavery business it's a desperate act that "the most evolved of us" have avoided for generations.
why then do vegans look down on those that minimize this abuse by eating bred animals?

Do you not see the hypocrisy in that? you can't claim to 'minimize abuse' whilst at the same time needlessly killing sentient beings.
not to mention the significantly larger percentage of land and crops required to make animal products when compared to making plant based products, you are actually drastically increasing the amount of 'farm work' required to make animal products when you have to feed livestock the majority of your crops
maybe also look into the vast amount of ongoing exploitation and slavery in animal agriculture and meat processing factories.

Interesting topic! Although admittedly, a little puerile. I though we were perhaps past the point of making mass and crass generalisations about large groups of people.
Firstly- arable farming does occasionally require cheap labour- and in certain horrific situations people are exploited and enter into slavery. The same goes for your weed, the clothes people buy, the phone you probably wrote your original post on. Surely a monetary based framework for structuring global society is to blame, and not simply people who don’t want to be complicit in killing and eating dead things when it isn’t necessary?
Secondly, a defence of veganism could be that a corrupt arable farm perpetuates slavery- most do not.
All abbatoirs kill, corrupt or not, and could be the reason why these morally superior vegans justify their sense of superiority- in my experience, most, and include myself here, really couldn’t give a shit about what you eat mate! Have at it!!!! :-)
The environmental impact of a meat heavy diet, and the various links to different types of cancer do speak for themselves.
From a moral viewpoint- i personally require a type of newly developed medication that did a shit load of testing on animals. Loads. My decision not to eat meat was based on that. A load of animals have died to keep me alive- it just seemed reasonable to avoid killing any more if i can.
Good point about the slavery! I hadn’t considered it as much a i ought to. I had heard the argument about field dwelling animals being massacred by combine harvesters anyway, and that deffo made me think….
Do you have data on the number of farms exposed as utilising slave labour? It would be a good starting off point to gauge the ratio you keep asking about.
Also, the quote regarding ‘the most evolved of us’- what are you quoting?

idk, but its rather obvious why so many vegans behave almost like fascists. veganism in the west is pushed by the same ilk that was pushing global warming before this plandemic...
interesting mental gymnastics there, if you want to talk about forcible suppression of opposition then take a look in the mirror, also you immediately politicize the issue when in reality the vastly growing vegan population has absolutely 0 interest in the politics of 'pushing agendas', literally the entire moral compass of veganism is just about reducing / eliminating suffering
i've never pushed for anything (other than moral consistency, on occasions) if i see misinformation i'll simply attempt to correct it like i did with the op.

its quite obvious that what youre saying is just your personal projection.
besides, Ive done my research and Im not a naive kid as are the majority who have fallen for the vegan agenda.

so you're calling scientists and academics 'naive kids' whilst implying you have all the answers?
there's literally nothing more naive than labelling moral consitency an 'agenda'
also you seem to be very hung up on the term 'vegan', well it doesn't always have to be about vegans, as most intelligent rational humans will tell you, this is actually about the animals, not us.

your way of communication is strange. youre behaving like a propaganda bot. and maybe you havent seen my answer regarding KFC vegan items.
link https://littlebiggy.org/link/jW379g
link https://littlebiggy.org/link/jW379g
Just going into KFC everyday for deliveries made me veggie, but I often go for vegan options. Even Greggs (UK) has vegan now. Just one KFC store, you gotta wonder where all those chickens come from. Just one (and I go to two that are always stacked with delivery drivers and families getting buckets of steroids). How are so many chickens stored? It doesn't even compute bc it's an endless amount. I'm talking two stores in one city. If someone offers me a meal w/ meat I'll chow it down, I'm not going to be a ponce about it, or push my views on someone else. But when you really look at it, or have a discussion with someone pushing the "I could never give up meat" it just falls flat. It's a choice at that point to carry on regardless. There's actually no need for meat anymore.
I have never entered an KFC or ordered from them. Stopped eating fast food a long time ago due to health reasons. Even went 5 years or so without meat and dairy.
Having lived through that ordeal I mastered the topic of food and health, at least in my case.
Btw, Im all for closing down big industry meat production and I support only small local sustainable production of food, not just meat.

Same when I ate meat never ate that crap. It's astounding how many ppl do tho. I agree man it's the way forward for now.
that's so absolutely true that when discussing this subject with stubborn people who 'could never give up meat' it always falls flat, probably why the original poster never replied! the issue of veganism is not contemporary within the scientific community
they will usually just straight up ignore science so they can push their own agenda, when the FACT is, there's actually no need for meat anymore, nor the suffering and exploitation associated with it.

To play devil's advocate, I do kinda get the "can't" pov. Sometimes I've seen pictures of cute cartoon cows for burger bars offering whatever deal, the idea of what your eating is connected but far removed from reality. You could essentially pull the car over to show your kids some cows and feed then some grass, and on the way back get a burger for the kids and a few pints. It's that Alan Brazil/Fruit Pastilles (youtube) mentality that I think the idea of free range needs seen as doing your part. That's what I say in conversation, at least, to the "can't", that free-range makes sense.
Ok so you've completely disregarded your original post by the looks of it
An estimated 50 billion chickens are slaughtered for food every year – a figure that excludes male chicks and unproductive hens killed in egg production.
that's only chickens but you're welcome to work out your own ratio there bud

Is there such a thing? even if there is it would be stupid since animals dont have consciousness like humans do.
big industry is the only problem in all of this. anyone that is generalizing this issue is not thinking straight

Good point, although consciousness is actually immeasurable as it’s subjective… there are ways of measuring intelligence, but that’s a different thing, and academics struggle to agree on how it can be measured anyway…
That’s one of the philosophical arguments of Veganism- we can’t actually gauge human suffering against animal suffering because we have no way of measuring the suffering the animal endures.
Tough one innit!

Get a penguin. Nibble off opposing corners. Drink your tea through the chocolate layer. You are welcome
Oh my! You have just created a monster… out of me. Dunno what the kids are doing for the Choc in their packed lunch tomorrow but that was a bad ass suggestion! Although with coffee for me. Not really a tea drinker 🤠
I don’t drink coffee either 😅 but like the tea.. I would still drink it through a Penguin 😂🤷♂️
Never drink tea. Black coffee, reasonably strong. If i feel like i meed an adrenaline shot i drink turkish coffee.
Had covid in january and it made all my coffee taste like shit for a month, which was the second worst thing thats happened to me since the great weed drought of 98

You can not beat smoking a big joint of GSC while drinking a large cappuccino,chocolate two sugars,heaven :)
Café con leche in the morning; black tea in the afternoon. And a few puffs accompanying either.
Personally. I've never trusted weed strain names due to the fact that majority of the time, it's just a name someone along the supply line has chosen for the product.
Does anyone else actually believe the legitimacy of strains and their marketing based names? I dont pay attention to it at all after coming to the conclusion that it's all bullshit.
Unless it's directly from a dispensary that can show you the details on the farm that it came from.
Anyone else feel this way? or have any experience/examples of where the strain they bought was actually the real deal + how did they know for sure it was the real deal?

Thank you BB 😊
Yup we love our strains, it's our life's mission to find that holy perfect one. let alone having the pleasure and excitement of nurturing her and watching her bloom 😍
That first sneaky puff of her is utter magic.
You've got a few nice looking seeds there BB I'd like to give a go 😉

100% there is 1000s of different strains. I’ve been smoking for near 20 years and tried quite a few different examples over the years. The amnesia I had in Amsterdam tastes the same as the amnesia grown on here. The sour diesel tastes completely different to ammy but every time I’ve had it I can recognise the taste. So on and so on! I’ll smoke a X and can taste either strain coming thru if I’ve tasted either before.
I think the term strain you’re referring to is when somebody claims they have cali and they’ve just made up a name to make it sound fancy. Do your research bro, check out leafly and Google the effects. If you’ve had the real deal once you’ll know the next time if it’s the same strain. You’ve got so many good growers listing on here, fill ya boots

I only smoke bongs so maybe It's harder to taste differences? My taste palette for weed is basically "taste like a haze", "tastes like amnesia" and "tastes like cheese".
One of my mates swears by exactly what you said. He says he can taste all the differences and is 100% sure it's the same strains etc.
Also been to Amsterdam and it's one of the reasons I came to this conclusion. We visited about 40 odd coffee shops when we were there and I swear to god. One shop it would be listed as bubblegum, next shop it's listed as super silver but both bud would be near exactly the same, taste the same, everything.
I felt like everything just reeked of amnesia in Amsterdam. Which isn't a bad thing ofc. Fucking love some good amnesia.

Haha yeah you’ll do well to taste anything from a bong. I know what you mean the terp groups do taste pretty similar to each other most the time. I can tell you the difference between super silver and ammy from a joint for sure.
It sounds as if you could of visited a couple of the tourist trap coffee shops bro. There are so many! Swear I went in a corner shop and they pressed a button and all the prices flipped around. Obvs proper high!!! 😂
Quite a lot of the main areas little cafes are selling shit weed to tourists. All the decent bud is pretty pricey. Dampkring, barneys, grey area and rokerij(don’t know spelling) all well trusted!!
First time I went, maybe 2003ish was a little coffee shop near the station called Rasta baby had 3.5s for like 16 euro. They did silver haze, white widow, northern lights, jack herer and ak47 all knocked your head in. Smuggled nice bit back on the plane😂 When I went back again, was first place I hit. The other hotel room group chipped in for a 3.5 and fell asleep every time they shared a joint🤦🏻😂
I loved this place but unfortunately the next time I returned to dam it had closed down. Was a sad day!! Did you enjoy the Amsterdam experience?

Yeah it was brilliant. I visited all the ones you listed. We just wandered around and went into any coffeeshop we could find, side streets, outskirts, main canal areas, everywhere.
Cant wait to go back. I went around 2016-2017. You can check out my experience yourself - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZ_UHpKb2dA

Genetics are a very real thing and apply to everything alive as far as I'm aware, certainly the regular crops we consume are plenty different based on family or strain, I dont see why weed would be any different
I do think a lot of people just use hyperbole for marketing sake, but I have definitely had good weed and bad weed.

Hey fellow Sasquatch haha
You’re probably right about that for most of the time — I’ve definitely gotten bud that certainly wasn’t the strain advertised but on the other hand there are vendors on here that I trust are selling you the strain that is advertised, British Bulldog to name one. Gotten a lot of different strains from them and each was unique and was true to description. But in terms of being 100% sure you’re absolutely right, there’s no way to tell unless it’s from a legit dispensary.
Peace

Growers could always start posting pictures of the seed packs that they grow before they germinate them? I'd be happy to do this, but it wouldn't work for those that use cuttings. 🤔

Yeah she wasn't a great yeilder the Bubble Gum, but she was a lovely smoke. Still got a few seeds left in that pack.
The diamond on that pic is the Dinafem Cheese. Rare as rocking horse shit now (since the Spanish seedbank was busted) but I will have to up the carbon filtration before I grow it.
The Critical Cheese from the same seedbank was difficult enough to deal with the smell, but the cheese is supposed to be horrendously funky.
I'll get round to her one day! 😂

Couldn’t believe what happened to Dinafem! They were a go to for so many people!! 🙁
Yep! Filter up for that cheese😂 As it’s rare would you keep a mother of her?

It's not something I've done before but it wouldn't be a bad idea. Such a risk growing cheese though, even the modern stuff. 🧀😩
Doubt I'd sell any either as even top shelf stealth would struggle to mask the smell. You'd have to vacuum seal it, maybe even twice, which I hate doing as it flattens the buds to hell.
Might be better just to sell it to someone who lives out in the middle of nowhere and let them grow it! Haha. Would be a shame to waste it.

Don’t blame you dude! Think we spoke about this before, but it’s always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to such things.🙂
Maybe sit on them for a while, you never know they could go up in value 🤷♂️

Dinafem, who don't exist anymore. They got busted in Spain (I think for tax fraud or some other shady activity) and all their stock was destroyed.
Rumour has it they paid top dollar for a cutting from an original Exodus mother, but that's just a rumour. Personally I'd call bullshit but you never know.
From growing the Critical Cheese by the same seed bank, I can say it fucking stinks (even Rhino Pro carbon filters were pretty much useless to mask the smell) and it's as close to Cheese from 15 years ago that I've ever smoked since, even though its a hybrid.
God only knows what the Dinafem Cheese seeds would be like to grow but I'm not cracking them anytime soon. Far too much risk for me. 😬

Have to agree that marketing can tell you anything, but the proof is in the quality.
I'm a massive gelato fan, but outside of a couple of vendors, what arrives definitely ain't the strain it says it is.

Don't listen to these punks :0 Nothing really works as basically it's not really your mouth thats the problem it's your lungs coated with lovely post spliff smelly tar. Vaping won't help as it stinks too. My vape smells like dogshit which is not desirable either.The internal area of your lungs is huge and can't be cleansed with a gargle of listerine like your mouth.
Smoke hash instead as it's less pungent brush your teeth and listerine. If they are still not happy find someone else.

Mangos do they make you more high?
I was just reading through some information on cannabis terpenes and came across myrcene which is the most abundant terpene in cannabis, this is also found in small amounts in mangos and apparently people have reported longer lasting highs or a reduction in munchies.
I personally eat mango regularly but I don't feel much of a change to be honest but I smoke a fair amount so I can't really tell, but I don't really get the munchies.
Anyone else with any experience or fancy giving it a go?
Cheers AB.

"Does Myrcene ‘Boost’ the Effects of Cannabis’ THC?
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the primary psychoactive component in cannabis, and while it’s the main reason people feel high after smoking, vaping, or consuming edibles, it doesn’t work alone. The Mango Theory suggests that the presence of high concentrations of myrcene intensifies these effects in two main ways, both of which lead to a swifter, “higher” high:
By increasing the permeability of the brain-blood barrier.
By boosting THC’s activation of the CB1 receptor in your body’s endocannabinoid system. Some experts say that while there’s no evidence to support the first way, there is some scientific truth to the second.
They point to studies that show cannabis high in myrcene can induce a cataleptic state, where the user feels unable to move. This is caused by myrcene enhancing the effect of GABA — an inhibitory neurotransmitter — at its receptor sites. When this occurs, the elevated levels of GABA interact with THC to create the sensation of couch lock.
At the very least, there does seem to be some truth to the notion that mangoes could enhance a high. Even if they don’t, there’s no real downside to giving the Mango Theory a try — they’re a healthy, low-calorie fruit to munch on while consuming cannabis. They’re high in fiber, folate, and iron, and they’re a great source of vitamins A, B6, and C."

I'm gonna say mango flavoured weed usually has a nice happy high. Some weeds and hashes just knock you about and get you stoned while others get you high as a kite and tweaked at the ears every time. I don't know about eating a mango increasing your high but I reckon if your eating a mango you will experience more pleasure when stoned as its another pleasing experience.
Best mangos I've ever had are in West Sumatra - "queenies" they are the size of an advocado, bright green and bright orange inside and the taste and smell is unreal!

I can't say for absolute certainty after about 30 kilos of frozen mangoes so far and about 50 fresh mangoes. But it sure as fuck makes me feel good ! ;) Also if you add quality coco powder and a bit of almond butter, it kills any chocolate craving.

Categories Would Be Nice
To help with finding what you are looking for it would be great to have some categories introduced to the LB website. It would make buying a faster and more straight forward process and also raise the profile of some of the less obvious sellers.
*Weed
*Hash
*Concentrates
*Edibles
*Others
would cover it. Oh and a search tool.
How about it mods....?

Completely agree. I’ve posted this suggestion before and wanted indica / sativa / hybrid categorisations too but no joy. Lots of other people have done the same.

How littlebiggy is possible? Few questions from a fan/noob
I've been using littlebiggy for over 3 months . I am huge fan of this service and community .
Just regret I haven't found it few years earlier . I basically hate buying these kind of stuff in real world.Got few questions to all your LB veterans out there as I am a noob here. question 1. How littlebiggy is possible!?? Will it be here forever!?:)) Are there any alternatives or I shouldn't be worried?! I dont want to go back to old form of buying . It seems to me almost impossible that this kind of service is working so smooth and almost openly - cops aren't aware about this !? does anyone have the power to close this website in your opinion? #
question 2) so far I got less than 20 orders coming without any problems but 2 orders from two different vendors did not show up, 1 it is almost two weeks and 2nd is like 10 days and I am a little paranoid! I didn't contacted the sellers yet about the problem but I've ordered again and another order came thru after like 5 days. Should I be worried about these two missing letters ?!
I've used only two vendors so far DIUK UK which is very professional vendor in my opinion and maddabber-
question 3 ) should magic mushrooms and mushrooms pills which are available on LB be packet in smell-proof bags like weed or it is OK to just send them loose in small plastic bag inside envelope?
question 4) I am london based - I am looking for good lsd blotters or liqyuid drops - is it allowed/available on LB ?
Thanks for any answers ..

1: little biggy has been around a while but by the looks of things is left alone, it may be because it's only weed and occasionally shrooms it may be another reason but I think it's safe to say it's known.
2: Always contact the seller regarding missing orders first, if get no response or are unhappy with any response the dispute button is there for a reason 👍
3:With the exception of petite fleurs ashtrays and joint holders I personally believe that everything should come vac sealed and have multiple layers of redundancy of stealth
4:I think that on the onion version of LB there were previously people listing what else your looking for not sure if they still are.

Thank for all the great answers. So there is onion version of LB - can you post the tor link please? I never used tor but it is good to lear that. Maybe they have lsd blotters in there :)
Someone else will need to do that as I don't use the onion version sorry but I have seen it mentioned before.

LB is safer than buying from a street dealer in that you really do not know who you are buying from so no connection and no chance of getting busted coming out a house,why is it here well because lots of people demand good quality hash and weed,how does it get away with it i have no idea,but hey it does.
Missing packages well i think most of us have had at least one of those me i have had three over the years no old bill so either a mistake during shipping and somebody else got it or postman pat has sticky fingers,but you can get some packages that take time depends on how far it has to travel,but you should let the vendor know about it being late and have a discussion about what to do about it.
All the guys do their best on here used lots of them.
Cant help you with shrooms have not taking those for 30 years at least and last time 4 of us sat in the hall freaking out about the front door for 4 hours lol
Hope you get your packages sorted out :)

Great answers there my friend!....Regarding the legitimacy of LB, I have always assumed that its a US company and an "org", as it trades in dollars so it is not subject to UK laws & restrictions...can anyone shed further light on this,or are my assumptions correct?
It trades in US $ due to bitcoin being priced in that or something if I remember correctly.
I cannot imagine it being possible that the plod hasn't been observing this site regularly for the majority of its existence, actually if they haven't then they are even more incompetent than they regularly portray themselves to be
imo there's a couple things that allow this place to continue operating, firstly there are no 'hard' drugs on here
secondly, if they were to somehow shut this place down, they know the sites users will just migrate to other markets and that adds complications when they can just keep us all here in one place where it's easy to keep track of us :)

ike's right, the Star Wars games are quality. Less so is the fishing one i downloaded when very stoned. Its kind of relaxing till you realise you're sat on your sofa looking like a twat doing 'virtual fishing' when you could be doing the real thing!
I've not actually seen any videos of that one. I'll take a looksie. Thanks for the recommendation Ike!

There are two purchases I want to make on here (one for $29.30/BTC0.0009 and one for $24.00/BTC0.0008), and uh... yeah I just don't get this Bitcoin thing at all. Completely new to all of this, so lost right now.
I'm in the UK, if it matters.

From the comments I think you haven't paid for the order yet and now you are struggling to see your order? So first of all mate if you can't get to your old order don't worry just ignore it it will auto cancel if you don't pay so just make a new one! :)
Here's an easy way to pay. Once you make the order and go to checkout you will get a long code to send the bitcoin to (the bitcoin wallet address) and an amount of bitcoin to send. Go to bittylicious.com (or coinbase etc) and copy the wallet address from the checkout page into the top bar, type in how much btc you need then click buy coins and pay! Done :)
Good luck!

Took me nearly a week before I understood what I needed to do to buy bitcoin, an if I did it as a 64yr woman with little Internet experience I think anyone can, just keep trying until you understand what you have to do, step by step, write things down that you do each time you try, to help you understand what your doing, don't get frustrated with yourself when you can't seem to understand, just stop for a bit have a cuppa and try again, so I'm waiting for my first order to arrive now and I'm beyond excited and actually very proud of myself for managing to do it will post more when I get it an will give my recommendation about the vendor I used.
just go to transaxe support at https://littlebiggy.org/viewSubject/p/4760120
and hit chat
give them your order id or the btc address you sent to
fear not bitcoin payments are impossible to lose.

So wait, is it sent out asap as soon as I click "buy"? Even if I haven't paid yet?
Also, seems I've forgotten my password so can't check my orders... uh...

I don’t think it matters if you pay outside of 30 minutes, check your orders page it should say ‘paid’ or ‘sent’ (if the vendor has already posted)
Unfortunately it seems I need to put my password in to view my orders, which I've gone and forgotten. How can I go about resetting it? Can't find the option.

Did you know?
sweet but note this only works if a person registers a new account after clicking on your referral link
Did you know?
We know some customers are already aware but when ordering if you select the product you want from the clickable stocklist in our manifesto it not only cuts our escrow time in half but also reduces the fees we pay by half,
This not only increases our profit but also more importantly for you guys it allows us to reduce prices on future listings and add small gifts to all orders,
So on that note all flower orders will now also come with a free small gift of papers or a packet of filter tips because everyone runs out eventually, it will be completely random just like the dab tools that have been going out with all orders :)

It's nice to see you've listed some 2g and 3.5g options on the concentrates. Will grab some budder off you guys in a couple of weeks - Got my eyes on the Strawberry Tahoe!
Thank you for your opinion but we only ever post what we feel is necessary information, it may be of no use to you but perhaps some customers will find it useful :)

Amazon buying the island of Cyprus
I've recently heard many people talking about the possible acquisition of the island of Cyprus by the company Amazon, I think this is very unlikely but I wanted to know would there be any economic benefits for amazon if they did buy Cyprus and what would be the drawbacks other than the huge upfront cost. Sure some fine economists on here can answer this for me, thanks
Cyprus is split in two. Northern Cyprus is controlled by Turkey and Southern Cyprus by Greece. Turkey invaded Cyprus in the early 70s and were only stopped from taking the entire island by the British who use Cyprus for its strategic position, having military bases on the island.
To anyone who knows Cyprus and its history, the idea that the Greeks and the Turks would get together and agree the sale of Cyprus to Amazon is about as far fetched an idea as I've ever heard, but it's a strange old world we live in these days so never say never I guess.
I'm no economist but this is far fetched for many reasons not just the economics.
Just my 2p.
Cheers BB

I agree due to the turkish occupation of the north it makes the whole thing near impossible, but internationally the northern part of cyprus is seen as being under illegal Temporary occupation by the turkish & the island is neither greek or turkish, its only reconsidered as the republic of Cyrus. Amazon could theoretically purchase the Republic of Cyprus and remove the illegal occupants in the north by force after the acquisition, asthey would need to form some sort of military anyway in order to hold claim over their newly claimed territory.
However overall i think this would be very unlikely & I agree that the north and the south being divided makes this situation near impossible, but a interesting topic to discuss:)

Used to make me sad when i went to Cyprus as a kid, and you could look through the UN post in Nicosia and see half the city pretty much abandoned. Southern Cyprus is a independent state but is obviously hugely influenced by Greece.
From either Protaras or further down in Agia Napa you can get a boat up the east coast as far as allowed to see the ghost town/city of Famagusta (a hugely popular beach resort in the 60s and 70s), which is basically right on the north south divide and was therefor abandoned.
Since we went on the boat (around 2002) the Turkish authorities have become much more accepting of tourism, but back then you couldn't cross from south to North and just had to look at the city through binoculars either from a boat or the UN border posts.
Ive heard there are plans to reopen Famagusta to tourism, although having been abandoned for nearly 50 years it'll probably need to be leveled and started again.
Tragic but fascinating part of history. I'm glad I saw the ghost city when I did but I agree, it was a very sad thing to see.

Yeah I’ve been mate! Actually lived in Cyprus for a little while, got a few of friends who were born there due to military service! I’ve actually been through since as a family member owns a villa in the Turkish side, I hope to see the island reunited one day!
From a business perspective it would be an awesome hub to deliver to all the surrounding islands and lands in the med, have you seen the plans Amazon has put forward in the past for huge floating distribution centres in the sky. Jeff B is a trekky so he dreams sci-fi big. I am not against a corporate owned island that is as small as Cyprus, in fact it could be a good thing. There is corruption in democratic politics all over the world, we go from scandal to scandal like we change our socks, maybe just maybe Cyprus (Prime!) could be better!?!
Ps it sort of worked in Wall-E lol
Ps it sort of worked in Wall-E lol
The blimp depos are about as realistic as Musks colonization of mars though lol
Pro-corporatocracy is not something I ever thought I'd see on a weed site but I agree completely that it would just be swapping corruption for corruption!
That said, fuck Amazon! lol :)

As long as we don't piss off President Alexa it will be a paradise I tell you
Ultimately amazon would need consent from the people and other governments so it would cost a lot more than just paying off the government, at least for the 1st gov they buy.
I agree I think its very unlikely but maybe the people would be more for it if amazon say offered jobs and education facilities for already existing citizens of the island so their would be an incentive for them to allow amazon on the island
Surely nobody would vote to live in a corporate ruled dystopian hellscape... would they? oh right... that 2016 thingy.... who knows these days lmao
The war the greeks and turks had and you think they gonna give it up ( Not likely! )
Its the best strategically placed island for war , whos gonna give that up , with the island being one of the best to train Army's, even British. Dont think so .

Never ever going to happen geopolitically. Neither UK nor Turkey would ever give up the strategic advantage their bases give them. I can’t imagine the UN allowing it either. Plus what about the Cypriot citizens both north and south and their sovereignty? I don’t think you can even legally purchase an inhabited land. The only way to take it would be by force and deport all the citizens making them refuges... a la Diego Garcia.

how to find the right strain?
it seems there is a never ending stream of new strains here and now people are saying that even using sativa/indica to classify bud is not valid. is there anything to go on besides trial and error?
Sativa/Indica may not be scientific but most people report a difference in the effects including me. Broadly speaking I find strong sativas give a cerebral energetic high (possibly with some nervous energy/anxiety) and indicas relax the body reducing focus on pain and discomfort (possibly inducing coach-lock and sleep).
Most strains are now hybrids giving a blend of those effects and it depends what you are looking to get as to your choice.
You should look at THC strength. Pot is getting stronger all the time and 16-18% is now becoming 28-30% before even getting on to concentrates. There is little point in hitting the strong stuff first- you are better of building up to it.
Many people chase flavours and rave about the ‘lip smacking ‘ qualities of a strain. Vaping at low temperatures is very good for flavour. Others go for aromas, others will only touch bud that looks good enough to have sex with ! 😳
The good news is that they are all right here right now! 🥳
You can go on to a site like leafly and put in exactly what you want from your weed and it will make suggestions- then come back here and chances are good you’ll find some.
Discovery is half the fun- I currently have 26 strains on the shelf which is ridiculous but I love them all!🤪
Enjoy 👍

Why all the Space Forces?
Forgive any inaccuracies as I'm doing this from memory, but I'd read that between US and UK, approx 7 billion had been allocated toward national space forces. Is this purely to protect local satellites from debris, or foreign missiles, or something else?
or something else bro, they just steal our money and feed us fiction...think about satallites. you fire a lump of metal the size of a school bus into 'space' where, they say, there is no atmosphere. the bus reaches a 'sweet spot' cos of 'gravity' and just stays there, in nothingness...its anti physics... look at the sky, day or night then look at this
http://www.stuffin.space/
and compare the two. something is missing, every fucking fake satallite ever / never launched. space is bollocks, noone ever got above low earth orbit. as you can see this subject properly annoys me. ha ha

I love Biggy, You can wean out genuine people in just a couple of orders.
I wrote my address wrong on a double order and both vendors contacted me to say my ad was wrong.
That is what you call honesty and integrity those people will go far.
Thanks to URBANLEAF and Super Hans for a smooth and caring experience.

JAYSPADEZ took my money and sent me nothing…TRACKED NDD is what i paid for and a week later nothing…but at least he was HONEST and told me he never sent it just pocketed my cash.. HONESTY SHINES THROUGH💪🏼
Brooooo
I'm having the same problem with that paticular vendor. However he has messaged me and promised I will get some good stuff. Don't know if he has sent it or not but time will tell.

I heard from someone else that its been 12days and he ain’t got anything mate, not too optimistic myself,he literally stole my money… i really hope u get ur goods tho and i wish i would wake up and this was all a bad dream…
And i have no problems naming and shaming vendors, if i can prevent this happening to even 1 person i will be happy
I know you probably have lost out but surely you can get your money back with escrow? if I've not heard anything by wednesday im just auto starting the dispute.
He also offered me a full refund but i said ill wait.... Maybe you should threaten with a dispute thats when i got offered a refund or new weed...
You know what, he should close his listings if he hasn't got anything on him until he does. Now i've seen your post im now skeptical again lol
So i ordered my ‘variety pack’ at like 2am last friday, and the message u get when its sent arrived at 6am (4hours later) what postal/delivery service is open at 6am??? Except that red post box at the end of our roads… i knew this time last week i was getting scammed, i paid TNDD but even without it, a tiny lightweight package takes over 7days(and counting) to get delivered in the uk??? All i can do is laff, i took the loss,0 disputes for me in nearly 4yrs so i am keeping my clean sheet, just never trusting anyone in here again, spending my cash on inflatable…uhh dinosaurs🦖
I wouldn’t want to ‘hurt’ vendors business,i have kicked up a fuss about this probably best if i shut my gob now and take one for the team🤷🏻♂️ I played the game and lost some money… shame on me!
I have opened a dispute i dont give a fuck about reputation i know who to go to from now on.

Is the Earth so far gone?

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

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

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

Amos all day. "You're not that guy... but I am", doesn't get much better than that. Also, fuck Holden...
But yeah I'm only 3 episodes into the 4th season... I've heard that the 4th book was the worst of the series, so will be interesting to see how it pans out.

Damn I think that might just be the best scene in the show. I love Amos man. The character is actually quite deep despite his shallow meathead surface, and very consistent. Poor guy gets a lot of flack, I can't say he doesn't deserve it though.
Let me know when you finish watching it, I want to know what you think of the 4th season. They have that Amazon money now it looks brilliant doesn't it haha. I wonder if the books are worth a read.

I thought that season 4 has been the weakest to date. It was still worth watching twice. :-) S5 has been really good so far. No spoilers, but it features Amos' back story, and that's a beautiful thing!
Amos has to be my favourite character. (Drummer has to be a close second.) Season 5 tells a bit about his back story. Loving it.
The story has definitely picked up again. Season four was my least fave one. I was concerned that the show had started to decline. S5 has definitely put my mind to rest.

how do they dig people out of debris?
Hmmm did they change the name after the war?
how do they dig people out of debris?
it always amazes me how long it takes to pull survivors out of wreckage. in many cases they have the world's resources at their disposal but it still takes weeks.
its mostly about cutting the debris into pieces and removing them carefully. there is some specialized equipment for this but there's lots of coordination overhead.

Leading Venture Capitalist is an AI
Sorry dude that's only the moment he dips in The Moat.
Leading Venture Capitalist is an AI
Gooogle's massive VC firm makes all of it's investment decisions using AI.
It's always been about self-reinforcement with the VC community, little dog follows the big dog. An algorithm can do this without delusions of original thinking.
I think any sentence with "is an AI" can be easily reversed, "AI is a leading venture capitalist". I'm not being pedantic I just think its a good idea to think of it this way.
The singularity has already, and will continue to creep up on us, perspective is critical.

VCs were programmed to corporatize potential threats to the System long before AI came into the picture.

Over the past year we have been testing different variations of weed (flower, hash, wax, rosin etc), for cannabinoids concentration (THC, CBD, CBN), with what started as handheld machines and has now been upgraded to a gas chromatograph (GC-FID). What I can say is, a chromatograph is an instrument while these (not all) handheld machines seem to be devices, which aren't as accurate. There is a stage higher that is a Liquid Chromatograph (LC) which is more accurate, though we want to test for terpenes so GC is better suited.
It would be great to share my findings with the great LB peeps. Typical readings were:
Flower - 8-21%
Water Hash - 30-50%
Dry Sift Hash - 24-40%
Rosin & Resin - 50-80%
Oil (CBD) - 93%
Any questions or interest would be willing to help and share.

Just curious here , have you a qualified Science background ? .
I have just finalised the license for a 6000m^2 cultivation facility located in Europe , for the production of high THC Medical cannabis. The place won't be finished until end of August/September though . Send a DM if interested.

Just background in physics, biology chemistry and biomedical science, but wouldn't say I'm qualified. Now that I have a live example of what to apply my knowledge to, I'm like 'what did that teacher say again?..!'
It is still a learning curve and this seems the best place to share findings and data, for all the awesome Biggaz who are interested, feel free to DM any questions I'll share what I know :)

Thank you, it can test for an amount of a compound, provided it can be extracted via solvent and turned into a gas.
Edibles have alot of compounds that aren't volatile, which can interfere with extracting and detecting the compounds of intersest.
It would be easier to test what is going into the edibles and estimate per piece its potency, assuming it was mixed uniformly.

Flash chromatography, where you freeze the edible, pulverise, dissolve in solvent and put through a glass tube (column) with high pressure air, through a sieve of sorts (silica, sand etc) and this separates the cannabinoids from the sugars, fats etc in the edibles.
The separated mixture can then be tested in a GC or LC, with much more accurate results.

Depends where u’re located and if labs ( if any) are local . Might not be able to ship Int’l for testing .
I hope the test borg sees this, could be a real game changer for biggaz.
While potency data is great and very much appreciated, terpine profiles and individual tastes are always going to be the bottom line,
Pesticides and synthetic cannabis are a binary and can be the difference between life and death.

Thank you! With chromatography alot of light can be shed on the quantity of a compound (quantification), and the identification of a compound (qualification).
With terpine profiles, which we are beginning to notice a more prominent uniqueness across different strains, the identification of strains might be possible based on chemical signatures alone, without the need of dna profiling.
The sample prep is a bit more complex for terpenes so will need to be a separate test.
In the uk there are only a few pesticides used, as mostly there are indoor grows.
A chromatograph can be calibrated for any volatile compound, with a reference chemical standard, of known concentration. We acquire standards from sigma-Aldrich and Restek.

Fascism, fear of different people, chest-pounding shit it's all pretty fucking old and has left a lot of stories that all ended badly. Don't people know any of this or what?
The problem is you stopped learning history, the last decades of the 20th century showed that a dose of totalitarianism works. China and Singapore showed the world that democracy is not the only basis for for peaceful and prosperous societies, laying the political foundations for this Asian Century.
When does it ever stop at a "dose"? The OP is right; an understanding of recent history would remind people of a lot of things:
1) Times are fucking good right now, add up all the terrorism we freak out over and you have a half hour during World War II.
2) The atrocities against civilians by Whites and Asians was far worse than what a few Arabs are doing now and had a lot more support from the general population.
3) Fascism requires worship of the state and that makes war inevitable.

Did Romania thrive under Ceaucescu ?
Russia under Stalin or Lenin?
Did China under Mao?
Communism ranks in the same league then Fascism: All boils down to one idiot and his echelon that entitled themselves to brainwash a whole population so they can removes unwanted elements under false pretexts because: Our great leader will show us the way.
They are each others reason to exist. The oldest trick in the book. Divide and Conquer.
National socialism or social nationalism always includes physical violence. Both preach a violent revolution as the road towards them.
Not that democracy is perfect, in theory it is, but make humans responsible for a large hierarchical system and be sure that it will be infested by corruption that concentrates in the higher echelons and gradually extrudes all real assets. When those are gone debt is created until debt is no longer sustainable and the democracy confiscates your assets to pay for the debt created, through 'austerity'.
Anyway, not that it matters much, humans will do what they naturally do if unchained for all of the above. They share, congregate, exchange and transact and do that perfectly without the need for some nation state system that registers, regulates, bags and tags everyone for optimal taxation. This site is a perfect example of it an initiatives like this and other Agora's , either on the clearnet or the darknet.

China was a basket case before this (Singapore is basically a housing development) . Getting organized after your life is a mess always leads to a productive period right untill you start getting relaxed and messy again.
Shitty fascists play into anger, the best ones rally a team through a few seasons. Neither is as sustainable as a system of consent.

resin vs rosin?
started topic
+ 2 more
Resin is a term applied to the vast majority of concentrates from hash to shatter but rosin is specifically pressed with heat in order to extract without the use of solvents. Rosin is therefore a resin but resin is not necessarily rosin.
Resin needs expensive equipment to purge the residual solvent that's left from the solvent used in extraction, this is often not done perfectly. Rosin just uses pressure and heat. I've been pressing for some time now, it is fascinating to see the different textures and terpenes that come out it really is trial and error with temp and pressure, where you aren't destroying terpenes or darkening the finished product.

Even The Apple Store is Going To Shit
The Apple store is looking more and more like the AT&T store or Orange where every time you are there you see a customer that has lost their temper with frustration.
Many of the employees avoid eye contact and are as happy to be there as a Walmart clerk. If you do speak with them they are idiots, unless they are classified as Geniuses in which case they are just not so bright.
It's just like the products, beautiful shiny materials protecting a rigid and increasingly dumb core.

sex mad
i am helplessly sex mad if any other canna sexuals are up for chat debate conversation drop me a message. Any suggestions on best strains for love making appreciated. just fyi im not a perv or weird just find one of weeds health benefits is that it enhances sex touch and orgasm. as an adult site i feel its appropriate to discuss physical and mental benefits of our favourite flower
love to all stay safe
be happy
love to all stay safe
be happy
Whenever I was asked in brown cafes what effects I was looking for I would always say “happy & horny” simple as that!
All these years later and sites like leafly meticulously catalog the effects of every strain but none of the top 5 (“relaxing” “euphoria” etc) ever touch on horny (or words to that effect) which I find strange.
C’mon biggaz!....this has to be a selling opportunity!

a lot of people embarrsssed but its natures stimulant if u havnt tried sex whilst high i can only recommend. some one mentioned masterbation again mothing wrong with that but much better enjoying with someone else. anyways hope you all have an exciting weekend and make lots of love as its what makes world go round love not hate

i haven't seen a rating system or any kind of direct user feedback on the vaccine. if there is a problem the liability would lie with the authority that controls the system itself, preventing any dispute resolution.
