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

Why privacy is important, and having "nothing to hide" is irrelevant.
there really isn't anything you can do that isn't exploitable to an advertiser.

Arguing that you don’t care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say.

yes and the premise of identity- the one they give you in the matrix or the one you cook up here in zion -is at the root of it.
this. your given name is pretty much a slave/serf name in most cultures. if you want to change it you need permission from the master of the day.

privacy, I have judged, does not exist on this worldwide internet thing. vpn's - give me a break. using brave and that's about it
in my opinion, that there is any sort of privacy anywhere on the colourful web is mere fantasy

I often wonder if the people who have "nothing to hide" would be happy having cameras in all rooms of their houses so that Government-appointed snoops could watch them to CONFIRM that they've "nothing to hide"? If they're not OK with that then surely that suggests that they MUST have something to hide after all 😉. Cheers!
been out the web arena for ages right, went to peru met a girl stayed years.

Not sure I want to name and shame but a bit disappointing, I've always had a prompt service from you guys though.
That $20 promo on the shatter/MCT oil is awesome, been soaking fruit pastilles in it.

Best Example of Communism?
some famous fails for sure but what are the success stories they dont tell us about?
Kerala in India has a long history of electing communist party politicians. It has the highest literacy rate and lowest infant mortality in India due to its policies.
German Peasant's War (where the word communism derives), Paris Commune, two Russian revolutions minus the Bolsheviks, Makhnochina, Spanish revolution, German revolution, May 68, etc. etc. etc.
Losing in the first half don't mean the game's over.
Losing in the first half don't mean the game's over.
Come on down voters give me a success story if you don't like the truth?? Bloody Marxists never except that it doesn't work. What ever iteration you can think of it WONT WORK!!!! everyone being the same sucks the fun out of life accept that hard work pays!
I'm not advocating for Communism but our society is full of people grafting their respective genitalia off that are still struggling financially. The idea that hard work pays ( properly) is a idea propagated by people seeking to exploit the labour of others. Nobody should need to claim benefits whilst working full time and yet...
Fwiw, I do advocate for a mixed economy. Nationalised energy, health, water, public transport etc and luxuries at the will of the free market.

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

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

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

do you have a source for this? not trying to challenge so much as i would like to learn more about it. maybe there is even a way the community could help.
food for the hungry is legit and accepts crypto
there are community outreach programs and obviously government funded systems like food banks to help, but the crisis only really exists because the capitalist system is designed that way. we have the resources to end world hunger but it's not economically beneficial so it will never happen

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

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

Ah, the Lords prayer of the troll world.
In other words, you have nothing worth saying because you are too vacuous to argue your way out of the little communist hole you dug 🤣
Thick.

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

The rich people who own the media want to push an ideology that stops them being able to hoarde all the wealth? care to explain how that makes sense?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sometimes you wind up in a place you never wanted to go .. and it rocks.
Montenegro, Albania, Slovenia, Romania, Gambia, Israel
wasn't really enthused as these were all group trips but fucking hell they were all sick. You could tell em you were going to Somalia and i would probably go with you nowadays, the world is vast, interesting and beautiful

Romania is fantastic👍….Transylvania genuinely spooky…lively and young street drinking culture…stunning women (all vampires obvs)…
I'll second that. I travelled from Cornwall to Bucharest by train last year, them onto Bulgaria. Romania is bloody stunning, especially as the train line followed the Danube and you could see across into Serbia.
krakow poland exemplifies many eras of europe with castles, squares and poignant reminders of ww2. the people are very friendly and the salt mines are a wonder of the world - the spot in the pic is carved out of salt hundreds of feet below ground.
Vietnam or Laos. Vietnam blew me away. Favourite spots were Hoi An, Tay Ninh and Can Thó. Stunning.
Please god don’t leave the city centre/Cape Town it’s like a different world outside of the capital but I’m from Cape Town ( originally) it’s actually a very western cosmopolitan place like London with a cool “woke” downtown full of expensive bars and Islington/camden style living.
It’s also on the beach with a Mediterranean style climate 1 hour from most national park and safaris.
Despite what you hear in the new it’s actually a pretty good place to live

Yes and Cape Town could use a lot more awokening, the legacy weighs heavy after a while.
Cape Town is literally the last safe place left in South Africa , heavy legacy maybe but the cape is great and comparable to California in the 90s
I was lucky enough to work on festivals/concerts and did a tour of Denmark that place surprised me really nice people, amazing beaches , also the outer Hebrides had amazing beaches
Kolkata. Didn't expect to like it. It is now my favourite city. So intense. Wonderful people. Great food. Amazing architecture.
West Co Kerry, Ireland. All along the wild atlantic way, Kenmare, Sneem, Glenbeigh, Killarney to name a few stops. So many good spots to stop, fire one up or have a pint and enjoy.
Honestly County Clare in Southern Ireland, my uncle married an Irish girl and moved there.
It really is like father ted there, your neighbours not for miles but you go into the local village and it’s just five pubs all joined on to each other.
The friendliest people I’ve ever met, it almost made not having anything to smoke for a week bearable…almost.

Kampot in Cambodia, went for a week last year and stayed for 3 months.
Beautiful scenery, can blaze pretty much anywhere in most western owned restaurants and bars at least. 50cent beers and a wacky expat crowd. Going back later this year too hopefully for a year 😜

If you’re South Asia bound , Laos although has a clear tourist path nowadays very easy to leave it , Borneo for amazing wildlife that if we carry on will probably be gone in a few years, Hampi in india like being on a weird cross between Mars and ancient civilizations , jailsalmer india again ancient city, for the smokers the himilayas in india
New Zealand is easily the most beautiful place I've ever been. Absolutely stunning. I wasn't particularly excited about going there at first, I thought it would be a bit boring, but after spending a few days on the North Island I completely fell in love with it. I even considered living there for a while.
We drove down from Auckland to Wellington and must have taken thousands of pictures. It's breathtaking. Probably the best two weeks I've ever spent abroad in my life.
When we left Wellington we flew to Melbourne, Australia, (which i was really excited about visiting) and it has to be the single most overrated city on the planet. Couldn't wait to leave. Absolute dump.
Funny how these things turn out sometimes!
Just my opinion though. No offence Melbournians 😉
Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

I didn't, but oddly enough my phone did!
I left it on the plane from Wellington to Melbourne which flew back to Christchurch where the airport staff found it and mailed it to Aus for me. So my phone has been to more places around the world than I have!
I definitely plan to go back and visit the south island, I've heard only great things. Its such a long way away though or I'd go there all the time.
24 hour flights.... 😒

I’d love to visit NZ, I can speak a bit of Maori because I used to play online with some Maori mates and they’re some of the nicest down to earth people I’ve ever met
Considering it’s just a ferry ride they are completely different worlds…north is all sheep, rolling plains, and long beaches.. South is mad glaciers, extreme sports & penguins…just crazy 🤩👍
Have to say some great picks in this convo the one for me personally is cornwall on a warm clear night the sky is amazing to just be at one with nature and look up at it ;)

yes but the word primitive is offensive for a reason, it correlates with a set of principles that assumes information loss is irrelevant.

Really don't mean this in any kind of shitty way but overwhelming numbers of people moving from more primitive areas into Rome is like what's happening now in Europe, North America and Eastern China.
Well in the UK its the willingness to stab each other in the back for the purpose of power and sheer personal greed no matter what the cost to the minions
yes but the word primitive is offensive for a reason, it correlates with a set of principles that assumes information loss is irrelevant.
you of all people.
you of all people.
It's an Empire folks that means most of the world is together on this. And the provinces will find the new heights in the future!
Becoming to confident in our ability to defeat any enemy and to greedy to understand our limitations.
The rich are ruling for the rich and that only leads to revolution. I've been sharpening my
pitchfork for years.
pitchfork for years.
The loss of traditional values in the face of a new religion, it was Christianity that scuppered the Roman Empire these days we have the new religions of woke and climate change doing it for us.
Rome used Christianity to make a whole different way of dictatorship. They didn't vanish they reinvented themselves as the Roman Catholic faith.
interesting and as fucked up as it sounds those both seem like a better basis for god than a vengeful patriarch

I thought it may be a glitch or something but it’s more than just a couple of sellers.
Any ideas? I know for a fact that one of these sellers is a 100+ / 0.4% type of quality trusted seller so was more than curios.

little biggy theme song?
always thought the devil was playing setup here, like for a rematch with meth
Good to see clean up Borg join in with this. I’m sure you AI have developed sentience 😂 all good with me
Cartman is hilarious. South Park is the only thing I’ve loved since it started and still watch now at 42. We should start a Cartman clip thread.
One of the things I love about lb is its a race free zone. You can say you are color blind IRL but here its an existenital condition.
Oh yes!! ....and Monty Python also wrote possibly the greatest love song of all time :) (not entirely sure it would qualify as an LB theme tune though....end credits though, maybe) :)
I'm putting forward this infectious little number...'In Hell I'll Be In Good Company' by The Dead South :)
Eminem ft Royce bad meets evil haha. The chorus is what nails it for me.
It may offend some tho...
It may offend some tho...
Only the smoke tree's and fuck the law bit. I just think song is really good. defo take the song with a grain of salt tho.
Been a while since my ears heard that !

A lady that i know just came from columbia,
She smiled because i did not understand.
Then she held out some marijuana, ha ha!
She said it was the best in all the land.
And i said,
"no, no, no, no, i don't smoke it no more,
I'm tired of waking up on the floor.
No, thank you, please, it only makes me sneeze,
And then it makes it hard to find the door."

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?

Blue Zones Lessons From the World’s Longest Lived
very interesting, gotta wonder about the rest of these now
Blue Zones Lessons From the World’s Longest Lived
Studying longevity these scientists discovered 5 places around the world where people live past 100 10X more.
Can’t believe Nicoya in Costa Rica is still on there- they blew that myth when I lived out there years ago.
They came from all over to study Nicoyans. What is it family, faith and good diet?…but they had these across the country. Could it be the mineral content of the volcanic filtered water?,,,,again not unique.
The answer?:
Any family member can collect a (generous) State pension in CR and Nicoya has its own office. Why would you declare a relative dead when you can continue to claim their pension? So they just got older and older whilst actually buried in the garden.
Researchers got a clue when they only ever got to interview half a dozen oldies. Now, after age 90 you have to produce said person to the pension office once a year.
Average longevity quickly returned to normal.
True story.👍

theres lots of debunking on blue zones
Although in fairness Tico’s do live a long life due to all the factors mentioned. Although that is quickly being eroded by obesity after the arrival of American fast food chains. Real shame…beautiful people ❤️

The Last Rock Band?
also why elton john is still alive
I've said before that Foo Fighters are one of the last true mainstream, longstanding, "Rock Bands" that maintain the rock spirit
Short lived bands are still making good rock music (GVF a good shout), but the days of Rock Gods are gone....

I always enjoy telling them that i saw Dave Grohl drumming for Scream before he joined Nirvana.
Rock music is still alive and well, its just not as popular as it used to be. It isnt dangerous and exciting to young people any more, rap/hiphop has taken its place in that regard...
It sucks Greta Van Fleet are the only example being brought up here though, to me they are highly derivative and not really doing anything new.... Check out Clutch, Steven Wilson, Opeth, Graveyard, Lake Street Dive, Menzingers, The Hold Steady, Elephant Tree, Creeper - all great artists making interesting music. And hey there are still SOME big bands, like Biffy Clyro, Foals and Queens of the Stoneage doing pretty cool stuff!

My neighbors love Clutch and now all their windows are broken I can hear the lyrics better.
Steve Wilson is a fantastically talented musician, however he's also a mahoosive elitest plonker who for a very long time wouldn't release music on streaming services due to it being "digital" and lower quality and therefore not the experience he wanted for his listener base. He has since changed his stance on this but it along with some really awful interviews he did make me unable to listen to his music (knowingly)
Anyhow I felt like sharing that for no real reason

Haha same goes for Tool... I'm a fan but yeah he definitely has an air of pretentiousness! Seems to go hand in hand with prog rock xD

Think a lot of people (Myself included) are just stuck in the last, like what they like & find it difficult to get into new music

Rival Sons are worth a listen if you’re looking for old school retro/Zep type sounds with their own twist. The singer Jay has an immense voice
They are after the last, like a symphony orchestra playing the same shit centuries later. But they do fucking rock.
Currently keeping the flame burning for me are Fat White Family, Gnod, Hey Colossus, Gilla Band amongst others.
The bands that had someone die in them,there proper bands,basically they don’t give a fuck about themselves all they want to do is create great music,jimi Hendrix,the doors,Janis Joplin,AC/DC with Bon Scott,nirvana,Amy winehouse but to name a few,people will always disagree though.
The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom.

You are one "L" away from the same name as a southern rock band! Rock seemed to eat its babies over the last decade or two. Too many old rockers raging at the dying of the light while clutching a new remaster of Physical Graffiti and demanding to know why there is no good new music anymore (there was, you didnt support it).
For me no matter how many bands I listen too I always end up back with the classics , floyd , the who, zeppelin, sabbath the doors etc it’s like a warm bath after work just slip straight in! Lol
Kings of Leon
Foo Fighters
Libertines
Oasis
Guitar music will make a comeback. The ‘urban’ wallpaper crap will die at some point. Think Glastonbury this year proved that rock still draws the crowds but it isn’t woke (which is why i love it).

Contests need to be provably fair
i would like a wall filter tested/untested at the very base level

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😎

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

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

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.

did world war 2 merely stall an inevitable trend of fascism?

When I 1st read this topic I thought it was silly but now Im reading it the New York Times
And what does that tell you about the New York Times? That it's lying about Trump? Or is it just trying to mislead its readers by implying stuff that it has no evidence of... Do the same examination of other rumor-spreading fake news organizations and make your own determination, folks. See which ones allow readers to comment on their "stories" and articles. See which ones never present both sides of an argument. Decide which ones can be relied upon for actual news (all of it) and which ones actually suppress news.
There is no news that can be relied upon this is why the reader needs to take in multiple sources and viewpoints.
i think its a really mega trend. fascism was a reaction to kingdoms turning into modern nations. this time populism is a result of modern nations turning into global pieces.
Yes and there's the industrial revolution and digital revolutions as waves underneath these.
Even Eisenhower, the General who defeated fascism saw what would happen. He became the President of the US and devoted his farewell speech to a warning of the future he correctly saw.
Forget Ike, Benjamin Franklin saw what would happen after helping write the constitution. He saw it as a temporary document that would require re-writing.
"it is likely to be well administered for a course of years, and can only end in Despotism"
As if it to prove the words they have been suppressed since he wrote them.

Its Franklin's Final Speach On The Constitution. What a guy, should be an inspiration for every bigga.
Only Franklin never said that the Constitution would "require" re-writing (or anything else, for that matter). Nor did he even imply that it was "temporary". His comment only reflected the fact that this was a unique, first-ever document of its type and he wasn't sure that it wouldn't eventually end in despotism due to corruption. None of the framers "knew" what the future would bring, only that what they had made was the most perfect constitution ever made. Not "perfect" (although it may be), just "close to perfect".
World War I was a fascist nightmare in the United States with Wilson and his cronies using it to attack all of their domestic enemies: African Americans, organized labor and immigrants. It was all documented by the media and no one cared. Helped us get where we are today as much as anything.
That's what happened in 2016, and it's a good beginning. More people are finding out that they've been lied to, and the liars are in full panic mode at this point.
WW2 was awful for Jews etc. However it turned out quite handy for the Zionists since the Jews flocked to Israel after the war!
Whereas, before the war the Zionists where struggling for citizens!
I've nothing against anyone, just saying!

First thing to do is find out what "fascism" is. Most people are clueless about that. One excellent example of a fascist organization is Antifa (what an ironic name). Their goal is to shut down opposing ideas by force, and that's what fascist governments do (again, look up the word in the fucking dictionary). If you're going to accuse someone of being fascist, you need to show examples of fascist behavior. Guess who I'm vaguely referring to here...
Oxford Reference definition:
"An authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization.
The term Fascism was first used of the totalitarian right-wing nationalist regime of Mussolini in Italy (1922–43), and the regimes of the Nazis in Germany and Franco in Spain were also Fascist. Fascism tends to include a belief in the supremacy of one national or ethnic group, a contempt for democracy, an insistence on obedience to a powerful leader, and a strong demagogic approach."

Some people wouldn’t know Communism if it locked them down in their homes, forced them to wear a mask and coerced them into an experimental medical procedure
…

Show your working (prove it)
Btw Fascism was defeated in UK and in WWII it was defeated in Italy along with National Socialism in Germany. There is nothing Fascist about our world. The Communists and Capitalists (same thing) won WWII and they are in control.

…
Oh dear, what a snowflake you are. The fact remains, nobody here has a clue about what Fascism is. This is how the Communists are winning, duh
Here is another definition of fascism, this one from Merriam-Webster dictionary.
"1) A political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.
2) a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control."
The antidote to Fascism is Democracy.

Democracy, LMAO. If you control the media, you can get the public to vote anyway you like. What was democratic about the Iraq War, or the bombing of Syria?
There are many parallels between the definitions. I'll break them down for you - national/racial-centric; autocratic; dictatorial; anti-democratic; demagogic.
Precisely. Democracy in the UK is flawed, at best for sure. Fascists know the first stage of seizing control of a nation is to take control of its media.
I'm unsure what you're trying to achieve on here - is it to rehabilitate the image of Fascism?
Perhaps you could explain to us what Fascism is.

I’ve already provided a link to a resource where anyone can learn what it is. I’m still learning myself. Please show me which Fascists have taken control of the media. (Don’t waste your time, because they haven’t)
How am I going to learn about a complex political/cultural/social ideology and its historical/contemporary implications through a series of disembodied quotes and sexed-up photos of famous fascists?
Grow up, stop trolling & read some fucking books.
Grow up, stop trolling & read some fucking books.
You misunderstand Camber - you're looking for a fight! I agreed with you, UK democracy is lacking. Historically, fascists took control of the media, to take control of a nation - see Germany, Italy & Spain.
I’m not looking for a fight at all. It seems like you don’t know who controls the media. In 1933 all Germany did was to take back control of the media, from the thieves who stole it.
The Jews? Come on man, you're better that, I'm sure of it. Stop getting stoned & researching pro-fascist groups - not a good combo. Get stoned & listen to Forever Changes!
"Everything I've seen needs rearranging,
And for anyone who thinks it's strange,

You smokers are beyond retarded. We even tell you what we're doing and still you defend us. Stupid goyim deserve everything you get
I'm not a Fascist, I'm Ashkenazi as you already know. However, to answer your question: they're not, Liberals are far more angry and reactionary. The reason being, they are double thinking, mental gymnasts who exist in a constant state of cognitive dissonance. You're just stupid, is all
You sound pretty angry. Memes peppered with exasperated insults. It must be wonderful to have worked everything out, and very frustrating that everyone can't join the dots and see the world as you do. I think I'd be pretty angry too. A raging omnipotent deity.
You're not supposed to work it out. Your opinion of me is irrelevant. You can't refute facts with opinions. Just about every Ashkenazi I know, has known this since childhood, apart from me who only found out relatively recently (I can't explain that anomaly) Come on, Twigs, you have the Internet. Btw, we own Google. You should brush up on the Talmud, LMAO. You can downvote this too, if it makes you feel better.
You now know that the MSM, Big Tech, Big Pharma and The Federal Reserve (to name a few) are not controlled by Fascists. I can research Fascism and listen to Forever Changes. If you don’t know what Fascism is, cool! But please stop pretending that you do. Have you read the Talmud? Did you know that this is Talmudic, are you even aware of it?
I'd suggest you can't be researching Fascism with any integrity. You're in complete denial of the basic definition of it.
Fascism is a pretty simple concept that a homogeneous group of people are stronger than the Communist alternative. Sit the fuck down, imbecile
And suppose I don't want to sit down and pledge allegiance to your homogenous group? What then?
Another definition? How many are there, I wonder. Words can mean whatever people want them to mean, can they? No, they can’t.
This thread is hilarious. Everyone thinks they know what Fascism is. Someone even thinks Antifa are Fascists. Clueless
…
Thomas Sewell. Does this mean everyone else’s definition of Fascism is correct? Btw anyone can be a National Socialist, it’s organic
Yeah, that was me. What's clueless is calling Conservatives fascist. Young heads full of mush lapping up propaganda from old Marxist professors and thinking it's the wisest shit since Moses are the ones fucking up the planet at the moment...
You seem to be really struggling with words Camber, so here's a definition of Communism for you: "The belief in a society without different social classes in which the methods of production are owned and controlled by all its members, and everyone works as much as they can and receives what they need, or a social and political system based on this belief." From Cambridge Dictionary.
LOL, they also changed the dictionary definition of 'vaccine' Do some more copying of definitions, instead of examining who the Communists are and what they've been doing, smdh 🙄
Dictionaries are a useful place to start, when a bunch of flailing stoners are chucking around words like 'fascist' and 'communist'.
I’m not struggling with words at all. I’m just not doing a ‘cut and paste’ and expecting other people to accept it. There’s a link above to a Fascism group on Gab. That’s the place to learn about Fascism. If you think they’re wrong, go and tell them.
twigs, you are a complete idiot 🤣 Why don't you read a book,
Churchill, Hitler, and "The Unnecessary War"
it's even on Amazon. Btw, I'm Ashkenazi and I learned about this over 20 years ago, so rejected my own people because of their evil. Bruno Baum was a distant relative of the wife and he told the truth. You are retarded. Smoke some more weed, you fool 🤣

I'm not a complete idiot - just anti-fascist to my last breath.
That Gab group has a lot of axes to grind, and seems aimed at recruiting teenagers. There are definite kernels of truth in the things you proclaim - always space to reexamine and reassess WW2. I'm sure lots of things taken for granted are mistaken - there's always room for further investigation and analysis. Following this poisonous exchange last summer, for the second, or third time in my life - went down a deep rabbit hole of holocaust investigation, reacquainting myself with the revisionist argument - it's ugly, and often end up feeling I'm listening or reading, not the work of historians, but politicians - who have a vested interest in revising our understanding of the Holocaust to further political objectives. But agree, that there are lots of questions - lots of things to think about.
However, it's the self-righteousness, the certitude, the venom, the under/overtones of racism, the complete denial of any racism that marks you lot (homogenous group) out as obnoxious, foolish, deluded, angry zealots (you won't like that word).

I just meant to say that I believe your fascination with fascist revisionism is an internet concocted, social media thing - and it doesn't deserve to be engaged with seriously.
The historic Fascist governments of the world are responsible for the murder of millions - Jews, Roma, Slavs, communists, socialists, Africans, artists, queer folk, people with disabilities, I could go on.
The latter day followers of Fascism are responsible for thousands of violent street attacks & murders.
Anyone who would seek to sanitise Fascism as some sort of benevolent universal human law (as your Snap-chat link proclaims), or present Fascism as misunderstood and misrepresented - is deserving of ridicule, at the very least.
I'm an exponent of the European antifa approach to Fascism. Fascism is a violent ideology. And Fascists only understand violence, and do not deserve to be engaged with intellectually.

Go to the group I posted above and post that shite, this isn’t the place for it. You are so ridiculously misinformed it actually hurts my head.
I've had a look at your group. It's sinister, revisionist, conspiratorial, paranoid. Fascist.
There is so much documentary evidence for the crimes I described above - you'd have to be a seriously blinkered "researcher" to ignore/deny.
There is so much documentary evidence for the crimes I described above - you'd have to be a seriously blinkered "researcher" to ignore/deny.
That group is...
Sinister - the memes reek of propaganda.
Revisionist - almost every accepted historical fact of the fascist governments of Mussolini & Hitler are attempted to be revised or denied - it seems to take the extreme position of completely denying the Holocaust, presenting it as a benevolent attempt to resettle the Jews of Europe.
Conspiratorial - it seems this group is arguing that the reason for the 'popular' conceptions of WW2 were a smoke-screen for a Zionist plot to establish the state of Israel and infiltrate and take over the world (ironically, this conspiracy predates WW2, and was a theory that was peddled by the Nazis, helping them to win power.)
Paranoid - Everything is seen through this lens of the "great Zionist conspiracy", so whether it's the Russian invasion of Ukraine, or the Covid-19 pandemic, or climate change - it all points to the terrifying spectre of Zionism.
Fascist - it's important to remember that this group is aiming itself at real-world political influence, despite it initially seeming to be a historical forum for discussion of the history of fascism. It aims to convert, to rehabilitate, to exhume Fascist ideals- including abhorrent concepts like 'homogenous groups' (whilst denying any racism).

Racism, ROFL, we destroyed your societies with that word. Racially homogeneous societies are more successful, which is why we won't allow you to have them. Every other country will have them, apart from you. See what we did to you? We brainwashed you into embracing your own genocide and we don't care how long it takes. Have a look at Savile Town UK. All of the UK will be the same, fool
hahaha you absolute fool. Do you or do you not know who Bruno Baum is? Racism, another one of our buzzwords that we have conditioned you to fear being called. Have you not heard of Loxism? Loxism is the only real racism. Every nation prefers their own people to outsiders, except White people who are currently committing cultural genocide because they watch our tv stations. We are literally destroying Europe right under your noses. "Islam is Israel's broom, you will have no place to run" Don't say you didn't know, because now you do know 😉
I think BrunoBaum might be Camber's new account - I'd be surprised if there is more than 1 swivel-eyed, fascist stoner in Albion. It is interesting to keep prodding you though, because you're slowly revealing how nasty you really are. Remember this began as a straightforward attempt to explain that Fascism is misunderstood, and had nothing to do with antisemitism. The irony that you're increasingly throwing around pejorative words such as "loxism", "judenpresse" "goyim" - is clearly lost on you.
My wife buys on LB, she uses RSO. I spent £1000s here. Even if I was a sock puppet, the facts still remain the same: You are a stupid goyim, we own you
Bullshit. If you think you can refute them, go in there and do it. You won’t because you can’t, you brainwashed muppet. I’ve had about 20 notifications over the last few days, all from you, ya freak. Did you actually just post a BBC documentary, are you on LSD? When you’re eating maggots in your pod, subject to the Chinese social credit score and only able to spend your allocated CBDC, just remember it was the Fascists who tried to stop them. Stupid goyim
They won't go in there and refute shit, because they can't. All they've got is what the judenpresse has programmed them to parrot. You're wasting your time with these fucktards, Camber, move on
You knuckle-dragging, racist thugs don't deserve any consideration. Learn how to read, think and discuss.
Ooh, name calling. Triggered, much. I'm not a thug, btw, unless you can demonstrate otherwise. You're not much of a man if you can't take a few insults thrown in with the facts. Ashkenazi hate you because you destroyed our 2nd Temple. We will now destroy you and rebuild it. I'm perfectly capable of thinking and discussing. I have facts on my side. You have tv programmes that we made for you. We control the CFR, The Military Industrial Complex. Just watch as more White men die in our wars. Hilter didn't want war or to kill Anglo Saxons. The Angles were a Germanic tribe, he thought the Englishman's blood far too valuable to be spilled. Here I am literally laying it all out for you and still you kvetch and squirm. It's called cognitive dissonance and we did it to you, fool. Don't say ya didn't know...
The whole I/we thing again - perhaps save the smoke until after you've tried to explain the modern history of the West?
And don't invoke Saxons and Englishmen - England is a construct, a fake country invented for the marketing of tobacco and sugar.
The soul of Albion was torn apart by 1,000 years of invasion from the Romans through to the Normans - but these are cultural, not racial invasions - Catholic, blood-thirsty, power-trippers that you seem so desperate to align yourself with.
Race is a cultural construct - every human alive is descended from around 10-20k humans in Africa. Africa is the motherland.
You're espousing 19th Century ideas, retarded, industrial, paranoid dreams, from a time when people's brains were coated with lead.
Me, I prefer 1st century ideas when I want some distance from the modern world - head to the Moors mate, find your local Druwids.

Much like you, I'm a social media autodidact - and have learnt much from the Internet.
I don't believe the simplistic, monolithic idea that one race owns another, I think you'll find, when you grow up, if you choose to abandon your moronic certitude - that the world is a complex place, and simplistic stories don't provide answers - as comforting as they can be.

I'm sorry for attempting to talk to you reasonably. It's telling that you're so triggered into rage by me pointing to a dictionary definition & documentary evidence from the war.
I just don't think Little Biggy should be a platform for Fascist links & memes. And I will continue to challenge you if you continue posting this poisonous content.
I attempted to appeal to your better nature, in the hope you were capable of intelligent thought/discussion. But you're clearly lost in this nasty maggot hole of paranoid imaginings.
I posted you a link to one of the great documentaries on the Second World War, made for ITV - it took decades to make, was an international effort, and is made up of interviews from people who were involved and witnessed the war, from many different countries.
You've responded with a film that amounts to a 2 hour political tirade, that contains not one interview, let alone an interview from anyone who was a part of 1939-45. Just a narrator telling you exactly what to think. And you want to talk about brainwashing?
If you want to dismiss The World at War series outright, because you've decided everything on mainstream television is "lies" - it is most certainly your loss. You have a Medieval mindset, obsessed with belief. (Belief is the death of intelligence, Robert Anton Wilson). You've only served to highlight how small-minded, cowardly and reactionary your mindset is - masquerading as a fearless truth-seeker.
Think for yourself. Take each programme on its own merits.
Don't listen to Love - they aren't for you.
Listen to Hate like Skrewdriver.

You are so full of shit, I can smell it from here. World at War ROFL. What a cunt you are, accusing people of being triggered while you post absolute bollocks. "Truth is hate to those who hate the truth" General Patton knew because he was there, he didn't watch tv. Did you take one or more of our jabs? Wanker 🤣
You are pretty triggered though, right? Almost like you have a vested interest in this shite. Butt-hurt fascists. 🤣
I'm not a Fascist, I'm Ashkenazi. You're still full of shit. You don't know anything about Fascism or Communism or WWII. You are a clueless fucktard and the best you've got is assuming that I'm triggered. Keep downvoting, you're still wrong. We control more than 90% of broadcasting and have done for decades, which is why you think like you do. We have installed 1000s of jihadists in your countries and we will arm them. We have always controlled Islam. The same thing will happen as did to Germany 1945-1953, we removed millions from the gene pool.
You seem fairly triggered into rage by my replies - you're debating less, and vomiting stream-of-consciousness bile from the social media posts you've been lapping up for years. I'm sorry I don't entirely agree with your world-view, but surely, as you claim that 90% of the broadcast media spreads misinformation, you might have a little sympathy / empathy / patience for the 90% of humanity that haven't started feeding on the same sources that you have?
Germany isn't responsible for WWII. Fascism is not a violent ideology. Do you even know who Bruno Baum is? How about Paul Rassinier? Stop taking drugs, fool. How many Fascists have you engaged with, intellectually? If this thread is indicative of your intellectual prowess, I would guess at zero
I'm certainly not engaging with this Fascist intellectually. I feel like I'm being shouted at by street preachers.
Note - I was never a Fascist, but definitely positioned myself on the Right as a youngster - I had Fascist friends many years ago, who didn't just shout insults at me. We used to talk.

I haven't only insulted you, I've also given you some valuable information that may just keep you alive. I turned my back on my own people and I've been sounding the alarm for White people since 2002. You will either cry because you've been insulted or you will wake up. Talking won't save you. Just about everything you have posted is exactly what we conditioned you to think. You have been brainwashed. We are Masters of Manipulation. Every single time, is not a trope.
I'm really confused by this mixing up of I/we. I thought it was just the Left who were caught up on pronouns?
Still very confused at how I/we (the other people on Little Biggy) are supposed to react to your posts (beyond having a look at the Gab Fascism group) - is there a specific U.K. political party that you're advocating / campaigning for? What should I/we do?

The reason I came on here is because you posted this
"The Jews? Come on man, you're better that," and I say "yes" It's literally all over the web, stupid goyim.

You poked your head up on here to defend the righteousness of Kristallnacht and the Nazi pogroms?
I poked my head up on here because you defend those who want you and yours dead. The jihadists have already been installed up and down the UK in the 1000s. All they need are weapons and it's game over. It's happening right under your nose and the irony is you're funding the whole thing. When I see stupidity, I like to challenge it. We used the BBC in 1944 and we used the BBC to get the jabs into the arms of as many people as possible. "Atrocity propaganda is how we won this war" look it up. We literally brainwashed you. "Islam is Israel's broom. You will have no place to run" You can pretend as much as you want, but you know I'm right (if you don't have Narcissistic Personality Disorder) 😱
"When I see stupidity, I like to challenge it." Right on! That's why I'm still here talking to you!
Have you seen the film 'Four Lions' - there's a character, Barry, who's based on a British National Party member who wanted to learn more about the enemy, so he visited his local mosque, and accidentally converted himself to fundamentalist Islam.
The uncomfortable truth is, that the Zionists, the Islamists & Fascists - have an awful lot in common - principally, violence & a Medieval belief in the supremacy of their Belief System. Tim McVeigh, the Oklahoma bomber - stated, whilst in prison, that it was the Muslim terrorists who he had the most common ground with.
I have a lot in common with you - I too, am anti-Zionist & anti-political Islam too. But any common ground has been burned in the hatred of your paranoid hysteria.
Your utter hatred of anything representing a challenge, or an attempt to debate is obvious. It surely will be very difficult for you to admit this, but I sincerely hope that you will do one day.
There's only one answer - you're a fundamentalist, you're brain-washed - and you will violently attack anyone who challenges your narrow view of reality - just like the people you claim to stand against.

"What should I/we do?" Do what you like, it's too late for Europe. The Ashkenazi have fucked you up. All because we programmed you to hate Fascism and conflate it with Communism. It's official, the goyim are fucking stupid. Btw, Loxism is very real
It's like trying to have a discussion with a disintegrating chat-bot.
I'd suggest that it's too late for you. Doom-sayers have been heralding the end of Europe for centuries.
The only people who've come close to destroying it are paranoid Fascist war-mongers.

Wrong again. Read Harold Rosenthal's book. It's all there and it's irrefutable. You won't win this debate, you can't because the facts aren't on your side. It's almost as though you don't have the Internet. Serious question: are you jabbed?
Are you talking about the booklet 'The Hidden Tyranny' - a written account of an interview Rosenthal supposedly gave?
It seems like it's a complete fabrication, it's very easy to refute!
“That interview never took place. Walter White operated free and loose on some subjects, like this one. He disappeared once for a while. I personally sent men searching for him. He showed up claiming the JDL [Jewish Defense League] kidnapped him and dumped him at the Mexican border... That [Rosenthal] interview is bogus. There is plenty of valid material to use against the Jews.” Tom Metzger, founder of White Aryan Resistance and former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, stated on the Resist website in 2010.
It's not much of a debate, sadly. Every good point I've made, you've either ignored, laughed at, called me stupid, brain-washed. At best, you've told me to watch some interview, or read a link, or a quote-meme - all of which I've done, in good faith.
That you, presumably with a straight-face, switched from a discussion about the Fascist governments of the 1930s & 40s - to a discussion about Covid-19 pandemic vaccines in the same breath, highlights that you're squirming, and desperate to shut me up / shut me down.
Which version of the Internet are you using? There's a lot of information out there - the stuff you disagree with isn't necessarily wrong. It's healthy to be exposed to alternative views - it provides contrast and definition, and is essential for the pursuit of truth.

You should take a look at it - they advise wannabe Fascists not to engage in petty insults, be considerate and intelligent, and spread the One True Faith.
A literary device, I see. It made it sound like you were having some sort of dope-meltdown.

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

America want this war. Remember it was Biden and Bojo that pulled Zelensky away from peace talks back in 2022
The people are waking up, this is a sick thread, nato wants war not putin.
they forced putins hand to invade ukraine.
9/11 was an inside job and the vaccine wasnt a vaccine.
i could go on but whatever, chemtrails suck too.

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

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

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

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

he needs to show his comrades that he isn't bunkered this means he is looking at regular strategy meetings in person with people easier to follow. his makeup and camera crew are all regulars and dont have a lot of security around them normally.
Can’t believe someone hasn’t shot/ poisoned the evil cunt tbh. (They like a bit of poison do the Russians)
Trouble is he would just be replaced by another one,cut from the same cloth I fear. Still can’t believe after all we went thru with covid, his first response afterwards was fucking war! He is the very definition of little man syndrome. 😡

Best British DJ?
yes
RIP Randall, spent many many hours listening to him in 1989 on Centre force, respect ✊🏼 ❤️
I remember Carl Cox doing 3 decks at Sterns nightclub in 92 ! Rat pack were there. Theres Druid, Mr C loads ! In that genre
You could run 10 decks... makes no difference its all for show. Watch DJ Craze and see what running just 2 decks is all about.
Yes he's defo up there aswell. Never had the pleasure of seeing him live. He doesn't seem to do many shows up near me. HC closed the ring one year at beatherder an it blew my mind. I think the copious amounts of drugs helped!
There’s lots of good DnB DJ’s, Calibre is the best producer in my humble opinion. Technically Andy C is in a league of his own, I’ve been following him for over 20 years, he smashes it every time. Recently, his XOYO residencies were next level 🔊🔊 HC is a don too, Racing Green is 👌🏻
As a producer/creator he is unbeatable and way ahead of his time. Not a DJ tho.
he was sooo next level. what a fkn legend
he was sooo next level. what a fkn legend
Such a hard one to answer as DJing crosses so many genres, I’m breaking mine down a bit
Best all rounder - Mr scruff , can start with jazz and end with DnB
DnB - for me LTJ bukem but Goldie a second place
House/Tech - Sasha
Techno - Carl cox
Electronica - aphex twin and also chemical brothers
My favourites are DJs who take you on a journey starting at one place and ending somewhere different!! Big mentions also for me are Alex patterson , steve hillage system 7, DJ yoda , Randall, Fabio , John digweed

The Rise of Nazism Looks a Lot Like Now
The author looks at ordinary people's lives as Hitler shocked the country into submission as he fought the "lügenpresse" - lying media.
Yes this is an important thing to understand. People are interested in their own lives and a crazy ruler is just a form of entertainment in most people's lives. If they are effective with delivering quick economic results then they are good entertainers and are delivering some positives then fine - so why think more about this? It's demeaning to even take a fascist seriously so why bother doing so? In Germany we know why.
It is worrying that the far right parties are gaining to much support in Europe, and we should never take our eye off the ball and learn from history what can happen when you do...
Sadly we going to be finding out very soon that the majority of Americans want a semi-Fascist state the same with the uk population too
Hate to be the bearer of bad news but there is no left what we have are a bunch of globalists run by the rich (WEF) pretending to be left(the right aint much better) while sending lots of our tax payers cash and weapons to a bunch of nazi`s who took over Ukraine in a coup financed by the US who by the way also funded the 3rd Reich and only joined the fight in Europe when it looked like their little puppet the mad Austrian was going to get his butt kicked and Germany occupied by the Red Army.
Their plan is sinister it is to send all you youngsters to die in battle so they dont end up with a pension crisis after stealing all the pension monies.
Yes the 3rd great human cull has already started.

the nature of misinformation is to use real facts and riff bullshit forward. that's sad in this case because there are some valid points that can be drawn from the cupla truths you have here.
ring really reminds me of the gestapo, they rolled almost exclusively through ordinary informants. people with fucked up biases are having their day.
why do they keep designing things to look like hal? doesnt anyone remember how the movie ends?
Why the dystopian views are always referred to Nazism and not to Communism? They are basically the same shit, and Communism looks much more dangerous to me, because it "succeeded" for many more years, in many more countries, and for some reason has that glamorous look to so many idiots...
Germany became increasingly polarized with people espousing Marxism on one side and Law and Order on the other. This is exactly how it feels in America now.
AND JUST LIKE IN NAZI GERMANY YOU HAVE PEOPLE BEING APOLOGISTS BECAUSE OF "COMMUNISM". AT LEAST IT WAS ACTUALLY FUCKING COMMUNISM BACK THEN AND NOT JUST WHATEVER IS NOT ON THE RIGHT
Watching the Plot Against America on Sky and it’s easy to see how Facism takes hold. Not dissimilar to Trump’s America.
In times of economic and political strife extremists always rise, whether left or right wing...it doesn't matter, they are reactionary's. For example the liberal left intend destruction of things about history that upset them much in the same way Nazi's in Germany burned books. People need to learn from History and rarely do, the same mistakes are repeated and things somehow trundle on. 'Good times bring weak people', 'Weak people bring bad times', 'Bad times bring strong people' & 'Strong people bring good times'. The great circle of human history.
I thought it was the republicans (ie the right) in America banning certain aspects of history they don’t like.
Who are the liberal left?
Edit
I’m not trying to start an argument I’m trying to understand

lol it's different in different countries. A conservative in the US is different from a conservative in the UK.
As an example the BLM movement (btw I support equal rights for all races, genders etc.) have tried to expunge slavery and that part of history. Taking down statues of former slaveholders and so on won't change anything, we must remember these things happened so that they don't happen again.
Because of slow or no change for certain groups there is an attempt to accelerate that change from an evolution to a revolution. People will only be backed into a corner for so long whatever their political inclinations. Some people think they're pushing for positive change but real change is when we've learned the lesson.

Thanks for the response mate.
I still don’t get the tearing down statues of slave owners equates to trying to erase the history. Statues aren’t history they glorify the subjects for posterity.
Is it still a massive issue over there around the teaching of CRT?

Well the statues are an example. They are subjects for posterity but they also memorialise history and certain points in history. As such they connect themselves to that history.
I basically agree with you though, they aren't the history themselves and so it shouldn't matter. It's what they represent that makes the difference.
I feel that whether right or left wing, people have an agenda and push that. Both different sides of the same coin I'd say.
Also CRT?

I see statues as a way to venerate the individual and what they stand for. Cultures generally don’t put up statues of twats. So the slavers statues should all come down imo.

CRT
Critical Race Theory
Yeah np, I don't mind a bit of debate.
Again I do agree with the first part of what you said. Statues certainly venerate people, but also events. However cultures not putting up statues of 'twats'...well...that's a matter of perspective.
There are many examples of people that put up statues of people who are considered great or influential in their time and place. Those same people and statues are considered later, or by another group to be somehow offensive or detestable.
I'm not gona say that something like slavery in the U.S. wasn't a terrible thing, it defo was. I do think that removing something that is generally offensive to the majority should be considered. It's just that we also need to learn from these things and replace them with something that educates people about the history surrounding them so as to understand the bigger picture.
But yeah CRT, I am familiar with it...bit of a deep and complicated topic. But to answer your original question about that, yes I believe it is still something of a hot topic within education in the UK. I believe the Tories here (conservatives) said they felt CRT was biased, in other words trying to ram anti-racism down kids throats without opposing viewpoints.
This is a quote from the Equalities Minister, "Any school which teaches these elements of critical race theory, or which promotes partisan political views such as defunding the police without offering a balanced treatment of opposing views, is breaking the law".
So yeah interesting, jeez this turned into an essay XD

It’s good to hear it from someone on the ground so to speak we just get fed what the media want us to hear
I do find CRT and the defund the police movements different. One is a collection of scholars etc critically evaluating how society has impacted people of all races and the defund the police is a social movement in response to innocent black people getting killed by police
Have I got that right?

You sound very naïve & to support CRT is crazy, hope you don't spout the sort of nonsense politics we see above IRL.
I don’t know how supporting a data driven legal critical evaluation by experts as naive maybe I’m missing something in your post as it doesn’t really make sense and yes i do discuss this topic and others with real people

Capitalism: what alternatives haven't we tried?
So many failed communist and socialist experiments in the last century and the greatest success of this century is freer markets in China.
Late stage capitalism sucks but what else is there and please don't ask me to trust late stage governments.

Why does it always have to fall under some strict labels that are always massive trigger words for certain people
can we just not label it anything and just fucking make logical decisions that are in the best interest of everyone instead of a few, fuck the strict criteria and labels
Carl saying "I don't know what a socialist is" at the start of the video is every conversation i've had about this with friends or other people, always try to immediately label me something and condense my views into a single word that they can then label me with

Feudalism is many times older than capitalism, and ordained by God. Still fell like a sack of shit.
It'll have a different name and iconography but communism still the only alternative. Just no leaders, no parties, no states, max automation.

Communism fails by the idea of implementation of communism - Don't you think that someone still needs to make sure that its enforced ... Thereby creating back parties, leaders, States and Hierarchies of governing ..... I am not sure but its just a thought.
Sorry did not mean to intervene.

i think this is the potential of decentralisation. it's not perfect but bitcoin has no enforcer but code.
The soviet in the tongue in cheek Soviet Union, means workers' councils. One person, one vote, with an elected delegate representing that be recalled anytime. One council for each workplace, and so on, all the way up. By function, it'd preclude states, parties or leaders.
capitalism is an economic system, and an excellent one at that. it is not, however, a political, philosophical or ethical system. adam smith himself pointed out that without temper from (for him, christian) ethics it would become monstrous. obviously, nobody believes any of that hypocritical, puerile (christian) shite anymore, but that is what needs replacing - the moral component. hard right ideologues that think the market knows best, and that money is some sort of god to be worshipped are stupid shits, and have been shown to be. they have fucked up everything they have touched and only crazy frightened old people don't see that. do not forget, though that socialists have not just fucked up everything they have touched, they have murdered, oppressed and starved people in ways that ghengis khan would have been ashamed of. capitalism will work fine once we all realise that being richer than everyone else is a mug's game and does not make you happy. we all just need to get by and look after each other, and i think we'll find that if that's what we want to use it for, capitalism's actually pretty good for purpose. this is all happening anyway, you don't need to do anything. how much shit gets fucked up in the meantime by greedy stupid dickheads who think enumerated economic success is any measure of anything other than what a selfish worthless shit you're prepared to be, or that it will ever make anyone actually happy, well, we'll see. in the meantime, live your life and stop trying to find something easy to blame for what's wrong with it. politicians will not save us, maybe if we stop asking them to they'll go back to doing their actual jobs (running the civil service, justice system and defence) and stop fucking everything up instead. maybe if we all stop glorifying the wealthy and powerful, they'll stop even being arsed to be wealthy and powerful (i mean, it looks like a fucking nightmare to me - why the fuck would you bother if you weren't being egged on the whole time and told that it's the only way anyone matters) and we can all just get on with looking out for each other and fostering the sorts of communities that actually do make people happy. it won't happen overnight, and it won't fix everything, but it won't happen at all if we keep expecting miracles and keep trying to tear down everything that lets us live better than people ever have. capitalism does not suck, it where all of our prosperity and freedom comes from, it is why we are not living in the squalor, violence and oppression of the middle ages any more - stop trying to tear it down, just live better, take moral responsibilty for your own life and we will all have the moral high ground to shame people who accumulate wealth and power beyond what is healthy. eventually. in about 4026. if we do not all burn or starve first. there isn't really an alternative, though... and, i mean you can order weed on the fucking internet these days!!! whaddya want out of life???
"and, i mean you can order weed on the fucking internet these days!!! whaddya want out of life??" yeah exactly wtf is wrong with people lol
Capitalism inherently involves exploiting others for profit. Adding moral considerations alone doesn’t address this fundamental issue. Such changes would transform the system into something that isn’t capitalism.
Start building guillotine napping stations for all billionaires to have a nice lil lay down, acquire and distribute the hoarded resources. Job done. EDIT: to highlight i am being deliberately OTT btw n not literally advocating mass execution. but it does feel like this whole system needs an overhaul, crazy how much the top 1% has hoarded compared to the rest of the world 🤷♂️ how is that just?
"distribute the hoarded resources" exactly, it really is wealth hoarding. Just make wealth cap, a big one $300M... How many fucking yachts do you need, how many houses...etc. Once your wonderful business acumen took you to cap level you get a medal, respect and you go onto super wall of best humans ie elite celebrities and your additional profits get distributed to less fortunate who we're not lucky to be born smart or healthy or rich or whatever.. It's just life lottery most the time nothing to do with your efforts.. Your success can not be justified.. You don't choose your genes... Is there really good argument against wealth cap?
not much of the rich's wealth is in luxury items. it's mostly capital for production.
We need to try to start standing up for what is right and see through what the political elites are implementing all over Europe.
Between the Bilderberg group and the likes of George Soros who funds all the chaos and gets very rich from the volatility that is creates in the markets.
Every time there is a major problem all the government does is rush in new laws to clamp us down even more, they are not interested in harmony it does not fit there narrative they like to divide and conquer and keep us in small groups as we are easier to control.
The Catholic church is taking it up the Gary glitter also along with the Church of England who are just as bad all whilst the UN seems to be building an army in Europe.
This is a by proxy war we are in and it is only going to get worse from here the only way we can stop this is by all standing together as humans and taking on this tyranny.
There are people being found frozen to death in cars in the UK at the moment , big groups of people living in tents in the woods right now ffs!!.
There is an evil agenda at play that these sick inbreed elites are trying to hide from us all and unless we all stand together we are all going to get screwed even more.
We would rather watch sky sports and fuck about on FB and Insta than get off out backsides and do what is right.
The whole thing stinks and needs to be called out and stop calling people racist for pointing out the truth.

Dreamachine - free transcendental, psychedelic experiences
this seems like it might appeal to a lot of my fellow LB users - especially if you can get to London, Cardiff, Edinburgh or Belfast this summer. And it's all totally legal - and completely free!
Sounds intriguing. Turns out there's one happening about a mile from my front door so I may just check it out if I can get the Mrs interested.
So it was interesting - I definitely enjoyed it - but for me it was nothing like doing psychedelics (although they say everyone's experiences are different). You're all led into this circular space, then you lie back on these comfy chairs, with some new age/ambient music playing on surround sound, and close your eyes. The dreamachine then plays lots of strobing white lights - and your mind then produces colours and patterns as a result. It was fun, but not as mind blowing as I had hoped - some reds, blues and brief patterns appeared for me. The visuals were pleasant, but not that special - perhaps they're better for those who've never taken psychedelics before. No competition for some good shrooms, but still a fun afternoon out (for free). I also wonder what it would be like if you go while tripping on something...
There is an app on the android store called Lumenate.
I think you might like that.
If you practice Wim Hof breathwork, after about 3 rounds, you will see hypnagogic colours.
On one session they turned very smoke like and I was lucid dreaming that I was at a music venue where Jon Hopkins was playing Open Eye Signal.
It felt very realistic but brief.
If you haven't tried breathwork I would highly recommend as it is free.

Thanks - someone else mentioned Lumenate to me. It sounds interesting. I'll check it - and those other recommendations - out :-)
review: "as close to state-funded psychedelic drugs as you can get".
Almost sold out in London, but more tickets due for release 16/05/22

Those links will explain it better than i ever could (especially as i don't fully understand it), but it seems to be an updated Dreamachine - a type of art installation/interactive exhibition that uses lots of flashing lights/colours/music to give 'visitors free transcendental experiences without the need for illegal hallucinogenic drugs.' It's touring the UK this summer. Video below does a much better job explaining it than me, but it sounds pretty trippy :-)

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.

the other day i was at a meeting with a young lady from afghanistan, she is becoming a teacher here, she is most welcome.
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 😂
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 😂
Be prepared for the constant megaphone blasting prayers. Try to get a room as high and soundproofed as possible;)

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!

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
just for cal-ibration what did you think of fallen order?
Trash. £70 not at all well spent.
Sorry if that's not what you want to hear but performance is terribly distracting, the bugs are out of control and all in glorious 12 frames per second.
Combat is the best thing in the game but you'll spend all your time getting lost, back tracking and awkwardly running across walls picking up useless cosmetics and talking to random assholes in the middle of nowhere.
I'm on Xbox Series X but PC is worse I think. The PS5 version is the "best" but that's not saying much.
I'd wait for more patches AND a price drop.

haha not what i wanted to hear but i much prefer the truth. Will wait for a price drop and patches like you said, thank you very much. Real shame was looking for a new game to sink my teeth into as I've exhausted Elden Ring and Hogwarts now
I reckon you maybe surprised at Jedi I would still get it if I were you. It’s jaw dropping at some points and there isn’t really much in the way of triple A alternatives. Performance is about on par with everything else and has improved with patches.
Technically and graphically impressive with very detailed sense environments. Next gen albeit at upscaled 4k from 720-1080p

Is British Pop at an All Time Low
Wtf even is Aitch? When I was younger there was the Kersal Massive on YouTube, he just reminds me of one of them with his wet sounding voice, dickhead clothes and shit rapping about getting his dick sucked. Bore off mate, you and Sam Wailing Fucker Smith
In short, yes! 60's, 70's and even through to the 90's we dominated and now...it's pretty much garbage, don't even listen to the radio anymore!
Culture is too atomised due to the internet, and the arts in general are increasingly more like a status game for the rich than in the 60s-90s: there are few financial incentives to be a good musician anymore and only the very biggest, well connected, and commercially safest acts can now make a living from music. Plus all the stuff in the vid cloudeater posted.
Shouldn’t need a financial incentive to be good. Not in any hobby. Your either good or your not. This is Gained by natural skills or just brute force hard work. Although that barely matters these days as per the headline of this topic rightly suggesting a low. It’s a yo yo. Electronic / new age is the current theme with low quality and high output. It will go back to guitar rock as soon as the uni students decide that is more cool
Agree if it's just a hobby. If you are going to be a professional musician full time, and are not independently wealthy already, you eventually need to make some kind of a living and pay the rent. And you probably won't get pro-level skills at an instrument/performing/production without being able to put a ton of time into it.
The only solid revenue for musicians these days is touring and merchandise. The income from single & album sales is much lower than it was thanks to mp3 & streaming platforms
Everything is so disposable these days 😪

How many people use more than 10 characters ever?
Even though anything less is basically useless….so most passwords even using the full combo are pretty useless? 😵💫🤓
Even though anything less is basically useless….so most passwords even using the full combo are pretty useless? 😵💫🤓
My standard passwords are 11 characters. Websites that don't require good security, I use passwords that are 10 characters. Websites where security is more important (banks for example) I use 13 characters. Every password on every website is unique. And I don't use a password manager where a hacker would only need to crack one password to crack all of my passwords, instead I have a method of choosing and remembering the password for each website I visit. Any new website I visit I know what the password would be for that website if I signed up. All I have to remember is the METHOD of producing the password, not the actual passwords.
What is your method of generating and remembering passwords without a password manager?
Well, for obvious reasons I'm not going to answer that. But there are various ways that you can generate password algorithms.
e.g.
Take every other character from the URL: For littlebiggy.org you might get iteig.
Next count the number of vowels in the URL and add to the end: for littlebiggy.org, ignoring the TLD, I count 3. Add that to the end:
iteig3
Add some standard text that you add to all passwords, e.g. verysecure.
iteig3verysecure
Add a symbol on the end. For an odd number of vowels add &, for an even number add *
iteig3verysecure&
Not a terrible password (although "verysecure" perhaps isn't an ideal phrase to include).
Or another method might be to take the first 2 and the last 2 characters of the domain, ignoring the tld:
ligy
Repeat it
ligyligy
Count the position of the first vowel (2) and add to the end:
ligyligy2
Double the number and add to the end again
ligyligy24
Add a space and then add the domain name's TLD (org) in caps:
ligyligy24 ORG
Again, not a terrible password.
The point is that you come up with your own method for generating the passwords and apply it as appropriate.
The only downsides to this approach are:
1. You have to ensure you create an algorithm that consistently generates strong passwords, so a little testing is a good idea.
2. And the other issue is that many websites insist on enforcing their own stupid rules that limit the password you can choose. I've seen sites that refuse certain kinds of punctuation, but accept others. Some sites won't accept long passwords, where others won't accept passwords that are shorter than 12 characters. A lot of sites won't accept ANY punctuation, which is just plain crazy.
The worst of all, though, is when a website EMAILS your password to you after you've set it. It suggests they're storing your password in plaintext in their database. Horribly horribly insecure.

password padding with numbers and symbols either side of a memorable phrase. ie ££££££BuggerIt88888
You need a hash to crack a password though, so what algorithm is being used as an example here unsalted md5? sha1?.. What kind of rig are they running? What kind of attack? What kind of wordlist? What kind of rules? How can they base a time off anything without this info? Totally made up graph, everything is fictional.
Pws are hashed in bcrypt/pbkf2 nowadays anyway, another reason to make this hole thing fake..
Them saying if your password is X long you will be safe is ridiculous, what if your pw is stored in plaintxt then how are you safe exactly? This is totally dependant on so many factors, nonsense..

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

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.

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.

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.

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

US to citizens: Give Us All Your Gold or 10 years in Jail
FDR literally confiscated every American's gold. Will this be government's ultimate move with crypto?
Which govt? Given the current prevailing global ideology is extreme neoliberalism, fuelled by libertarian ideals, it seems unlikely, except potentially for the use of controlling criminal use of currency.
Personally I don't subscribe to a hyper individualistic libertarian neo liberal philosophy. And I think that in looking at what FDR did - lifting the US economy, the alphabet agencies etc - he did make the USA better. And subsequent adherents to the philosophy I have described above have undone much of his work.

looking at the economic and societal impact (worldwide) fdr's legacy is militaraising the united states. the country has been in a constant state of war since he was in office and americans now devote a day of work each week to buying weapons and feeding soldiers.
i can't see how his administrative agencies have been undone. apart from the legal challenges of his own time they are much bigger than they were then.

Given the war he was funding, I am not sure I blame him for heavily funding the military. In fact, as someone whose family were murdered living in a country that the Nazis tried to invade, I kind of celebrate it.
And given the cold war, most of his successors can't be blamed either. You can look at presidents from Reagan onwards for blame.
Nearly all the new deal agencies are now gone.

Terpenes: school me please
I'm trying to find what terpenes work best for me and I don't have a clue
The website Leafly is a decent place to start if you want to get technical. They have all of the terpenes present in cannabis listed so you can research the variety of terps and then find strains that contain them. I'm a bit old skool so everything is fruity, earthy or gassy for me lol.
Most common terpenes (primary & secondary):
Pinene (pine, woodsy)
Humulene (spicy herbal)
Limonene (citrus)
Myrcene (earthy, musk, fruity)
Borneol (mint)
Phytol (floral)
Check out this site 👍

I can’t upload as it’s a pdf but a Google should yield its info 🤜
I can’t upload as it’s a pdf but a Google should yield its info 🤜
I have no idea what they are, I’ve smoked on and off since I was an early teen all through 90s and through the 00s never heard of them! And I was an obsessive weed/hash head , my son was born in 2014 and I slowed down on smoking, now he is older I’m back lol and all of a sudden everyone’s banging on about Cali and terps! Is it just a marketing ploy for the countries where it’s legal?
I think the reason it seems like a new thing is that combustion destroys everything except THC so when smoking that really is all there is. It’s only with vaping that terpenes kick in at lower than combustion temperatures. There are about 400 terpenes in cannabis and about 20,000 in the plant world. So far only about a handful are genuinely known to have effects when vaping but more research is going on all the time…
Yeah, it's best to avoid the terps completely, who knows what it could be causing? Stick to CBC to thin down carts, if you can get it.
To be honest the only way you really get to taste the terpenes as they should be is to vape. They do burn off at very low temps. Whilst you do get flavour from combustion. It’s kinda negligible.

Harry Mack is the best freestyle rapper ever
Try Omegle bars 45,52,67,68. A lot of people don't believe he is really freestyling, in that case try one of his live shows or recent appearance on Sway. All on YouTube. Been into rap since the early 90s and I have never heard anyone half as good as Hmack.
Yeah, it's mad how easily he rhymes from the top of the dome, and even when his flow speeds up, it's crazy. I remember seeing his guerrilla bars, that's what got me hooked before the pandemic/lock down began, then Omegle bars made it's debut which is sick too.
He's crazy with it!
He's crazy with it!
I think a lot of people found him in the pandemic because of Omegle bars, only found him a couple of months back myself but just can't get enough. Never fails to amaze. The last one on Omegle bars 68 is my favourite at the moment but so many good ones. Other freestyle rappers use the word once and move on, he makes an entire scheme around it that all makes sense, has double meanings and uses the word in lots of different ways all while switching flows and his timing is perfect. He started as a jazz drummer which is why he is so good on timing/beats.
I really do not rate him at all. Just well prehearsed patterns where you can fling any word in it. Most his stuff was exposed of being scripted also.
Rehearsed patterns is how pretty much every decent freestyler works, and it still takes considerable skill to be able to seamlessly stitch it altogether. Even the very best of the old school battlers would have tons of filler bars and lines written in such a way that a key detail or name could be switched out. Sounds like you're hating the game more than the player with that comment.
If you want pure 100% off the dome, sure it's possible but the flow's stutter or the bars are basic wack 1-2's.
H.Mack is better than most at it, past and present, and deserves his place amongst the freestyle G.O.A.T's.

Cannot connect to DApp
Hello, just wondering if anyone can help. I've updated trust wallet recently and followed all the troubleshooting steps but I still can't connect it to any DApp to transfer or recieve crypto. Has anyone else experienced this or know how to fix it?
i regularly have trouble with trust wallet wallet connecting to dapps but never all dapps. may i ask which dapp you are trying to connect to?
Thanks for replying. I think this is a trust wallet issue because I tried a dozen different dapps and I've found out that loads of people are having the same issue since an update was rolled out recently. Looks like I'll need to find an alternative!

You need Musk's ego to think you can do shit about an AI takeover.
i don't think thats where he is at, it's more a case of if you cant beat them join them with neural link
You need Musk's ego to think you can do shit about an AI takeover.
Give me a break how can you be so fucking blind as to think you can design a way to make A| behave the way you want to for a meaningful amount of time? It's literally impossible.
Any truly smart AI would self-destruct as soon as it realised what is up and where it was born...
Computers defeated by CAPTCHA. I think you can rest easy for the time you'll be on this planet
i don't think thats where he is at, it's more a case of if you cant beat them join them with neural link
its a boiling frog kind of takeover not a terminator kind. it started as soon as we began using machines and it still accelerates.
I don't agree, pretend that we were made by another species for a sec. Then think of all the shit we don't know, dark areas. Just suppose we were designed not to go into these forbidden zones in the 1st place.
Yeah but now suppose the species that designed you wasn't nearly as smart as you are. How long would those areas stay dark?
We are much more "intelligent" than any AI, the main "problem" with humans are firstly the emotions and secondly the way we use our brain, we use it logically instead an AI uses it mechanically.
If any AI with self awareness will be ever made, if they will have emotions like we know, that AI will be a smart foolish like an human being.
If any AI with self awareness will be ever made, if they will have emotions like we know, that AI will be a smart foolish like an human being.
lots of people will want an ai to act as a human for all sorts of things. these algos will learn to emulate emotions and eventually have them as part of their fabric.
Thus making them humans but with a non organic body.
Anyway, AI is dumb today, really dumb, just dig a little bit into machine learning and you'll discover that most probably we will not live to see a "cyborg"

Ai will come in via devices you carry or wear, like fit watches and phone texts...phone tells you to get a vaccine... if you do, AI wins...your watch tells you your heartbeat is too fast so the doc gives you statins...Ai wins...turn the shit off...we win.
its that simple.
but we all saw the sheep during the fake pandemic....vaccine has literally had its definition changed by Cambridge ( not the oxford one) it doesnt vaccinate you but they all took it...masks never worked but they all wore em...70% will jump at the chance to be told what to do...the rest of us will ignore it.

has anyone done a comparison of lb sellers gear in a vid, i would love to see that
challenges would be a great thing around here. i saw someone once ordered from every seller at the same time and ranked the delivery speed.
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 😂
Fuck description of what I want to do on my page 😊

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

INITIATIVE : CURRENCY / PRICING
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 s…
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.

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

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

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

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

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!🙈

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

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

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

Skinnyman should have had a much bigger career than he did. Council Estate of Mind is a great album.
I second JME , also close for second between Kano and Dizzee ( probably showing my age with these choices)
I think my favourite album would be Ruthless Rap Assassins 'Killer' album or maybe Horns Of Jericho. That's my era, that's my shit. Derek B, Caveman, Credit To The Nation, London Posse, Overlord X, Daddy Freddy, Duke, Hardnoise etc etc. Also agree that Skinnyman never reached the peaks he should have. late 90s early 2000s he was killing it
Too many to name, ghettos definitely up there as goat, but then you got people like potter paper and nines. Skrapz is back and you know he's got some absolute fire for us.

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)

Hi, we wanted to run a fun little game to show our appreciation to you all for the warm welcome.
You may already be familiar with this from the game show golden balls.
To enter you must have 5+ buys on littlebiggy OR account registered before July 2023.
Guess the blockchain.com price of BTC this Friday 6th September 4:20PM.
Entries close this Wednesday 4th September 4:20PM.
1st and 2nd closest guesses will compete for 14g top shelf cali in a game of split or steal. 3rd and 4th will compete for 7g top shelf cali in a game of split or steal.
You can talk to each other in the public post and say what your intentions are, then you will have to message us and decide if you want to split or steal.
If both choose steal - neither of you get anything.
If both choose split - you split the prize topshelf cali between the two of you.
If one chooses split and one chooses steal - the person who chose steal takes the whole prize for themselves.
Good luck 😉

Hello.
Initially you have to have the closest guess for the BTC price.
1st and 2nd place compete for 14 grams of top shelf cali, the final outcome is in their own hands. If they both message us their decision as “split” they will split the 14g prize and we will send it to them. If they both message us their decision as “steal” neither player will get any prize. If one person messages us their decision as split and the other person messages us their decision as steal, then the stealer takes the entire 14g prize.
3rd and 4th closest BTC guess will also play the same game for 7g top shelf cali.
If this isn’t allowed I’m sorry I will remove it.

EU vendors wanted!!
There must be a way to find reliable vendors shipping from within European borders... Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! I already use TGT and radar breeder but it's really too risky to keep ordering because customs are becoming an increasing pain in the ass. Fucking BREXIT.
https://littlebiggy.org/link/HQjv3L
I read Nero is amazing and shipping from EU. I’m thinking about ordering from him after my research for vendors in eu who can ship to Sweden
I read Nero is amazing and shipping from EU. I’m thinking about ordering from him after my research for vendors in eu who can ship to Sweden
Absolutely bloody legend!! Nero hook me up when was on holiday in Spain 😄 everything went smooth.
We do group listings of sellers based in the EU and shipping to EU countries. We select only those with 100+ reviews with over 9/10 average review mark as it's not easy to filter them using the LB wall
We’ve started delivering world wide at a discounted price of $5.JJ & DGT
Yes, I too can recommend suissems! Ive tried their AK47 so far and it was very nice. Just a bit squished for stealth...
Hey brothers, we feel yall,
since most vendors are UK based…
We are new to LB, yet only offering 4 items, we will expand our Menu and lower our prices eventually once we are able to get a hold on bigger quantities, therefore being able to lower the bills, which will make the products cheaper, we are also giving away a couple samples or freebies on every order placed.
Suissems/Hootan/Hashishin is also a really good EU vendor i believe, never ordered from them but seen their Profiles aswell as recommendations.
Sadly you cant just search for vendors from a specific country like Spain or Germany i.e.
we wish you all just the best and a nice new week to start into. Have a nice monday yall!
Cheers.

You've been binned friend, this will most likely be binned too. There is no return to sender policy... sellers generally don't put their home addresses on parcels of drugs then ship to interweb randoms.
You do realise this isn't legal... right?

Contact the seller directly with your order ID if you didn’t save this then maybe your address can help them identify your order.
I will let you borrow my wife.As soon as she starts moaning she brings my high back down to normal!!
Cbd takes the edge off, black pepper and lemon also help. Although I have only ever used them for stinging head highs!
TBH i sometimes take far more THC oil than I need along with CBD 121 it gives a much deeper stone
Strong cup of coffee will sort you out brother and some fresh air - get out in the fresh air too - good luck :-)

Hey Family,
Had that many times back in days working at customer service frontline :))
Generally smoking we reduce our Vitamin C in body , so buy freshly squeezed orange juice non concentrated to keep your imune system good so you dont feel tiredness, water , wash your face with cold water ! 250ML-0.5l orange juice normally balances it for us!
Peace and Respect

CBD, we have the receptors in our brain, I’ve always said smoking shit loads of thc with a sprinkling of CBD can make your high so much more enjoyable
Talk to my Mum for 2 minutes... That'll send you straight down to earth removing your will to live. In fact, I think she was the reason I started getting high!
I find a vendor (you) that promises to reship but just generates shipping labels that don’t move brings my high right down.
Although when the Borg refunded me 100% of my order I did have a little buzz! Thanks for the hassle Hebba!

Make an item with the min bid as it's price. Since the blockchains can verify the actual price it might make it ok with the proof borg.

Sent wrong strain ???
Thought I'd throw this one out to the community, recently tried a new highly rated vendor and was accidentally sent a similar but different strain - I have no prior disputes along with an extensive purchase history here
I'm not gonna smoke it and was considering auctioning of what I bought here as a possible option (not sure if it violates rules)
Any help would be much appreciated
Cheers

If it was accidental and your choice is available the vendor should make it good. You are entitled to get what you order. Then as you are not out of pocket give it to a friend or send it to any appreciative Bigga who’s maybe on a tight budget. That’s what I’d do…👍
I agree, nothing wrong with contacting the vendor and giving them the chance to make it right. Great idea to share it with a friend or someone who can’t afford any if you successfully resolve this.
Make an item with the min bid as it's price. Since the blockchains can verify the actual price it might make it ok with the proof borg.
Some considered and thoughtful responses - I concur with Polly's sentiment regarding you should get what you pay for.I don't want to come through in complete tyrant mode though,I think I'll take blazin's advice and ask the vendor for a fair/just resolution.Thanks to all who commented/voted.

Branded carts?
Have been using carts now for about 6 months. Tried a few, distillate and live resin. Currently enjoying the sensimart 100%.
Been thinking about getting a branded cart from SN2D. Are these any better than those I've tried and more to the point worth the extra dollar?
Any thoughts welcome🙏

i'd say he's the best seller on here however international shipping to UK is a gamble.
1st package from SN2D came fine, 5 carts ordered. 2nd one got stopped by customs, another 5 carts ordered and I got a letter in the post and a visit from 2 police officers at my door lol, which resulted in nothing more than an informal warning. still pissed me off though and has scared me off future international orders.
funny thing is, SN2D knew it had got stuck at customs and sent a replacement order immediately and that got to me fine just before the police visit! personally, i'm not risking international shipping again but the product itself was absolutely incredible. the flavours and cannabinoid profiles are worth the extra money.
however UK scene is good enough, Sensi Mart / G6 Extracts are both rivalling my legal medicinal carts i get off my private medical prescription, there are really good carts here on LB for sale.

That sounds a pain in the arse, the feds that is. Don't think I'll risk an international, I would very swiftly lose my job for any type of drug indiscretion. I'm sort of happy with what I'm getting at the moment just curious to know what these lovely branded well marketed products are like.
That’s a good question. SN2D certainly has some of the finest brands currently available and 100% genuine. In theory they don’t get any better but whether your experience will better Sensi Mart is highly subjective.
I’ve had them side by side and I can’t really say conclusively. I doubt you’ll be blown away by the difference…

If you can't say conclusively then probably won't bother at this stage. Out of curiosity will probably treat myself for Christmas to a branded from SN2D.
There's also the concern for me about international shipping.

Can i suggest, before you go spending twice more than you need to.
Try Sensi's White Runtz (60/40 diamonds distillate), and tell me it's not the smoothest cart you've ever tried (no terps added).
No coughing involved, it's like smoking flavoured air.
Someone please tell me that isn't the smoothest ever, please.

Half Life 2 VR mod, Walking Dead Saints and Sinners, Blade and Sorcery, Ancient Dungeon. I've played a lot of VR games and the Half Life 2 VR mod is what I am playing right now and I love it so much. The game design of that game translates so well in VR and I haven't got bored of this 20 year old game that I have completed so many times.
Very excited to see what the Apple Vision Pro can do, the headset is so god damn powerful that it will easily do seamless AR / VR processing. Hell yeah its expensive, but to me this headset might finally be the birth of non controller vr, eye tracking as well as 4K viewing.
Unity have a deal with Apple and have released a APK package to start making games for that headset, Unreal Engine has a feud with Apple because of Fortnite revenue. So at the moment you have to install multiple packages to start working on that but I like what they have done for AR experience of leaving notes in your home in the digital world of chaning the size of objects.

I don't understand how geneva does well year after year, it's boring expensive and the food is relatively meh.
The liveability index is based on several weighted factors: political stability, healthcare provision, education quality, etc. Geneva has a high cost of living so a rich population and so does well in these categories. Which is why this index is flawed, like you say: it doesn’t take culture into account very well (this is an aspect but it’s difficult to quantify and subjective) and only accounts for how current residents find it, i.e. those who can afford to live there (or those who are unable to leave on the flip side).

does evolution hate rich people?
rich people reproduce less, so consistently that the richest countries have the slowest population growth. poor people have children much younger and more frequently, their countries are the most successful at reproduction.
the economic reasons are pretty well explored but that doesnt explain the evolutionary science. it seems to represent a conflict between human society and genetic reproduction.

Those with real wealth have large families.
The struggling middle classes awash with debt and both parents working full time jobs to give them that slightly nicer existence than those on benefits are the ones struggling to reproduce.
The rich get richer and the poor get poorer and the squeezed middle class evaporate.

rich people have fewer children
It's a different evolutionary strategy - fewer children with greater chances. It's a continuation in the general trend that hominids have been on for the past several hundred thousand years - generally Humans have small "litters" that they invest more effort into than other mammals. The same as other great apes. Compare that to a dog or a cat..
Interestingly, in experiments with flies, if you delay their reproductive cycle, they have fewer infants that are longer lived...

All the alchemy and trans nonsense is something elites have been practising for years..
It's interesting that you include a photo of BJ in this topic because both he and his father are absolutely in favour of decreasing the population. Stanley Johnson has written tonnes of books about it - fiction and non-fiction. One of his books was even about a 'deadly virus' that decimates the population. It's not presience, it's planning. Both Johnsons are admirers of Indira Gandhi who force-sterilisied millions of indians. Here's an interesting article written by BoJo in the mid-noughties, from his own website:

Not sure, but all I know is that evolution is producing more poor people now and our technology is having diminishing returns from all that we invest in it. The daily wake up rush rush rush to the city, bigger this better that. More money , more power. The cycle of American western society. Drone like lower middle classes buying products continuously to pay the share holders of large corporations their dividends and profits. Then we are fed advertising 24/7 and one sided news channels/papers/social media that fits corporate agendas and profit…… that are owned by these exact people…….it’s a cycle that never ends.
poverty is very consistently decreasing

I'd argue that that was culture rather than evolution. But you could also argue that the two are inextricably linked.
The metrics for wealth are skewed in favour of consumerism. The UK has a lot of wealth generation tied up in housing instead of things like having a 401k. This leads to a large chunk of the population not wanting cheaper houses as it will negatively affect things like their retirement.
So people can afford things like TV's etc. but cannot afford housing and electricity in winter. People are told they are richer compared to the previous generation, but the quality of life can be much lower if they have kids. If you really want to know what it is like for the 'rich people' go to MumsNet where people can afford multiple children going to St Paul's where each of their kids costs 10,000 a term, and they speak about it like pocket change.
All wealth is generated from conversion, we like to use the term creation as that doesn't have the negative connotations that conversion has. In a conversion, there was something, and now there is something else. What was there is likely no longer there forever with the shit rolling down hill to people we are never aware of. Coltan and Sony's 'Playstation war' is a good example of the bollocks we help create.
It may seem I am anti-capilist, I am not, I just view it as lizard brained. It is not an invisible hand of the market, it is an invisible claw of the market. The use of hand is an anthropomorphism. The market has no conscience. It just consumes. Including consuming you and your children.
Personally, I think the spread of knowledge is more important than the continuance of genetics. You need enough people alive to keep forward momentum. We are also more aware of the fuckery people do in our name due to our internet. Historically we could do shit like manifest destiny as people could be convinced they were more deserving.
Unless we solve the issue of the universe will suffer a heat death, there is going to be a last generation some time. There needs to be people to perceive western culture for it to have any value. Western culture is not really dieing, in London at least within 1 generation the kids are usually acclimatized. London is a range of attitudes, the UK is a range of attitudes.
Poor countries have lots of kids as it increases the chances of future wealth. For example, help for free in a family business. Happiness is something that maybe a later generation is allowed.
As I say available better education is the key for all children, even though some people think giving girls worse education will solve the breeding problem. More badly educated people, more meat puppets to extract wealth from. When shit goes sideways make sure you have enough wealth to bolt somewhere. Lizard brain.
Animals are driven mostly by genetic continuance, we can do better.

Rich countries have birth rates so low that their economic time bombs will destroy their wealth….
Poor countries have such an excess of youth that they struggle to even feed them…
A problem beyond our comprehension….

Why Aliens are Machines
tldr: Because that's how it works with intelligence here and everywhere.
If any machine life is to emerge here, humans and non conscious AI will need to solve the 'hard problem of consciousness'.
Penrose and Hameroff's Orch OR appears to be the most viable theory at this point, but even that has it's problems, especially relating to decoherence.
And, of course, there is the Fermi Paradox. There's been time for the emergence of many civilisations in the universe, but we've yet to see any - organic or otherwise.
It could be that we're alone, or that civilisations don't tend to overlap because they are inevitably short-lived.
I lean towards the latter explanation, mainly because of the disgusting way we treat our planet in pursuit of personal enrichment.

Best sport stoned?
snowboarding gets the gold. well until they take it back
Deffo 💯 used to fish as a nipper and finally got round to getting back into it a couple of years back. Even had a guy who dropped off at me local spot 🤣🐟🎣
Fishing tops it for me, pool and darts too,nothing too energy intensive but swimming is always good
Archery is fun. I once bought from a guy who had a bunch of targets set up in his garden and would let me shoot a few arrows when I picked up.
I hit the gym stoned, take saunas stoned, go mountain hiking stoned, go cycling stoned, but there is zero competitive nature... As I'm lazy!
snowboarding gets the gold. well until they take it back
Roller Skating with some good tunes in your ears.
Juggling is great once you have some flow.
Juggling is great once you have some flow.
I love having a smoke and going mountain biking , turning my phone off for a few hours and just going out and getting lost in the forest
You hit the nail on the head, when the suns out like today, jump on the bike and hit the forest, big joint and then ride. Bliss!
Yep exactly what I like to do too, I named a bench near the start of my local trails 'spliff bench'.
I had planned to do exactly that today, but got covid for Easter instead.

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

prisoner's dilemma references

all about the game. all of it. 1st person shooter to civilization builder but what irks me is not any of this, it is what it is and its fun we could do worse universe wise.
what shits me is people using simple game theory as a compass for life in all of this. the real platform is complex and undo buttons are hard to discover so when a tic tac toe strategy is presented as some kind of parable for life it's fucked, not just stupid. demoralizing might be the best word for it at least in it's worst sense.
once a story can be divorced from it's moral we are only left with technique. ok but again a simplistic looks at optimizing some easily digested metric is fucked for a human life.

is that not a justified worry? DNM vendors have been arrested for posting videos on youtube before, i dont know how that risk wouldnt be the same for lb being advertised on youtube
i think you guys are forgetting that this is an illegal market and at any time can be targetted by LE, opsec should always be a priority

I think the LB team know better than you and I do about site security so if they considered offsite links as a security issue they wouldn't promote it in the first place. If you look into the LB federation I think it would be a hard nut to crack regardless.
If a certain site vendor got lifted he got lifted for being a vendor nothing else.
Browsing and visiting LB is perfectly legal and I list my content as educational only.
For instance; DrewIsSharing (a Youtuber with a huge audience) has made videos about similar places and he lives scot free along with the sites he ordered from.

I think there’s a quick solution too everyone’s issues..
All you gotta do my friend is remove the Littlebiggy link on the video and provide it privately and Call littlebiggy in the video LB or Society..
I think that should keep the paranoia levels down.. 😂
Edit: You don’t need to do this but if that stops your videos from getting flagged.. you should consider it maybe it’s up to you it’s your review

to my understanding drew has never mentioned littlebiggy in a video, only weed companies that are publicly advertised like dispensaroo. where has littlebiggy ever been advertised? the way most people discover this site is through word of mouth not via social media presence
no one ever said visiting and browsing lb was illegal, my point was that advertising LB over youtube will inevitably attract someone with bad intentions who may want to get this site taken down. but hey those are my two pennies, im sure the lb team will send you a message if they feel like its a concern🤷♂️
though i think realD's idea about making the domain a little more secret is a good idea.

you sound genuinely mentally challenged if you cant figure out how thats collerated. a clearnet presence is bound to increase the likelihood of attracting people with bad intentions

You are replying to my topic right now yes buddy.
I don't see how a DN vendor getting arrested for selling Class A's has any correlation to me posting a weed review.
The site already has a clearnet presence on reddit along with the fact the LB team literally tell content creators to share the links.
I'd refer to your own posts about your mental state before judging another user's.
I'll leave it there considering you have resorted to insults and down-voting.

Please tell me it gets easier!
It’s something I’ve always wanted to learn, so I decided to do something about it.... I’ve bought a Taylor acoustic 322 guitar, started the online lessons with Justin Guitar.
I’m struggling with chord changes at present, but I’m glad I started, oh and the bug to buy more guitar related items is really kicking in, all you guys who’ve gone though the process have my upmost respect 🙌🏻

Been playing metal guitar since 1983. It does get easier. I don't agree with 7 years to get good. I was playing along with the ZZ Top album Eliminator within months and then shortly after Iron Maiden Live After Death. A friend of mine at school showed me scales when I started which help me to do this. Other than that I am self taught.
Keep at it, you will never forget how to play the guitar, although dexterity can evade you if you don't practice for a while.
Remember..... Repetition is the mother of skill. Jimi Hendrix wasn't born knowing how to play!!

It’s like riding a bike you never forget,playing along with zz top it’s like playing twinkle twinkle little star
Any guitar players on LB?
You bet!
Mostly everything other biggas said below is wise advice.
I'll try to sumarizesome of the things I've learned over the years:
1) Electric vs Acoustic:
With electrics the trouble is controlling the volume and with acoustics it is the opposite i.e producing maximum volume.
If you're into acoustic and you still want loud then you'll have to look at gypsy jazz guitars, resonators/dobros or some of the flamenco guitars.
2) Pain!
Probably the biggest barrier for a beginner. Your fingertips are going to hurt - a lot - for the first few months. Obviously there is a huge distinction here between classical/flamenco strings (nylon trebles) and acoustic folk/electric (steel trebles).
From what you're saying you've bought a steel string acoustic so it is going to take a few months of regular playing before you start to develop calluses on your fingertips. Until you get there there will be discomfort but if you stick to it that will stop. Your fingertips will harden like hobbit's feet (but be wary of fishwashing and other things softening your fingertips...).
One tip I wish I had known when I started: press your fingers against the strings while strumming a chord and gradually release the pressure until the strings buzz: you've just found out how little pressure you need to make the chord ring. I used to press the strings into the neck hard which is unnecessary and only wears the frets down faster.
3) Be aware of the differences between chords/arpeggios/scales (even if you don't use scales or arpeggios) and don't get trapped into running scales up and down, much better to learn small melodic fragments i.e little phrases or sequence of notes (hat we call licks) and stringing them together to create solos (I wish I had known that when I started too).
4) Learn harmony: how chords are built, what scales are etc.
5) Find guitar players you really like and learn their licks and songs.
6) Learn 3 chord blues. This is the basis of a large amount of musical styles and is the foundation to understand western harmony easily i.e I/IV/V chord sequence.
7) There is no good or bad player, it's about expressing yourself as a unique individual. As long as you're enjoying yourself and playing the instrument you'll be alright, it's easy to get trapped into trying to be better than so and so or feeling that you aren't there yet when really you should be enjoying the journey.
8) Hendrix used to say that sometimes you'll hate the guitar and you'll want never to touch it again but that if you stick to it (and give God a chance) you'll get there. He was right in that you cannot perform to the best of your abilities every day, some days your fingers won't do what you want, the inspiration or feeling won't be here and it will feel like a constant struggle. This is normal fo all performative arts: there are good days and bad days.
Good Luck

I play guitar,since 1997,yeah gets easier,play it better if I don’t smoke marijuana
never had any lessons you need to be consistent at least an hour every day,might start getting good after about 7 years maybe more everybody’s different
It can become an obsession but it’s a good obsession great for relieving stress and boredom
I’ve got 10 electric and 3 acoustic guitars and amps and pedals too £10,000 easy I’ve spend and that’s just in the last five years
Good luck with it.
Just keep practicing cord changes even if you don’t strum at the same time and bar cord are important 👍

The best strings to get for your acoustic are 9 gauge strings,easier to play and sound as good if not better than other gauge strings
I’ve got them on mine,wouldn’t use anything else
Rotosound 9s made in England as well

your fingers quickly catch up with your intentions, like any muscle its gonna hurt while learning something new.
acoustic is more work, you gotta press harder to get clean sound out of the thing.

I hope you can keep at it. You have to go through a kind of pain barrier as a beginner imo. Chord changes are one of the hardest things when beginning, all those fingers relocating at once! Eventually you’ll develop muscle memory and forget that you once had to even think about it 😊
All the best 👍

Hey welcome to the gang!
Practising often seems to be the key and everyone develops at different rates but you get out what you put in.
One of life’s great pleasures is getting baked and having a noodle!
Also the danger of obsessing over and buying gear is real.
My thing now is making them. I’ve made an acoustic and am about to start an electric.

Practice makes perfect. Keep at it! Also, don't judge yourself against other guitarists today, compare yourself to you yesterday. Step by step. Much love, GC.
I would love too but being musically inept. Best you will get from me is guitar hero on easy.

Considering there's new rules and regulations for conducting competitions and giveaways on here what kind of competition would you guys like to see that is in line with the new rules? Would you biggies prefer 1 winner for a larger amount or multiple winners spreading across the amount?

Do I recommend it??!!….aw man that is in my top five films of all time. Back in 1982 I went to the cinema 4 times to see that and then bought a VHS copy of it for like £60 (a fortune!) by getting one of those new ‘video rental shops’ to order one and sell it to me. That was not a thing back then…
You can watch it now and it hasn’t even aged. Then watch the sequel Blade Runner 2049 which is bloody good too.
Wait no longer!

Well the other VHS I bought for a fortune before you could buy VHS films to own was Pink Floyd's The Wall (also about £60!)..

Love Memento. There is an easter egg on the DVD that lets you watch the film in chronological order. It's definitely worth watching both cuts.
https://eeggs.com/items/32296.html
Here's how to see it if you have the DVD. You can also rip both versions of it if you have the DVD, which you can probably pick up for a few quid in CEX these days.

Sublime taste!
Memento is my second fave of all time; the accolade for first place goes to ... True Romance :)

Glad Tarantino didn't get his own way with the ending - Tony Scott's was much better :)

As boring as it is your safest bet is just to do a random number draw, it's provably fair and won't get deleted. Seems like guess the weight comps get deleted, yours did and Eddy did one for 420 that also got deleted. Gassed has a good comp on the go at the moment based on BTC value, so something along those lines should work. Whatever you do thanks for the generosity.

that may not be provably fair since you can make an unlimited number of draws until you find the one you want. that's why others are doing it live i reckon.
if you tied it to a lottery somewhere in the world that would be fair since you cant control the draw.

Completely exposed his stealth on a video, which as well made as it is, is a MASSIVE no no.
Grey plastic with cardboard inside is hardly a rarety, but the principal remains the same.
Please do not involve a vendor's stealth in your pictures or videos. There's literally no need at all and it exposes us all.
Thanks for the video, it's really good fun and innovative but just a heads up that next time jump to the sealy bag and leave the packaging out of the videos please.
Thanks.

I appreciate your concerns and support BB!
I have now blurred out the unboxing scene until I get to the last layer. It may take a few hours for the blur to be visible as the change is currently processing on YouTube.
Going forward blurred/pixelated unboxings will be the meta to ensure vendors secrets are withheld.

Personally I'd prefer it if you just went straight to the sealy bag rather than even pixellating the packaging, but it's deffo a step in the right direction and I really appreciate your reply and effort.

if you are a person of interest and someone wants to see your stealth they just order from you, probably get more than this video provides too.

If some'one' wants to see my stealth they can order from me. True, but that's hardly the same as exposing one's stealth to (potentially) millions of people on social media.
If a package gets opened on YouTube and the kind of unique stealth some of us use has been exposed, we have to throw away every single part of that stealth (which often costs hundreds of pounds) and start again.
I don't know why it's difficult to understand that showing pictures or video of a vendor's stealth achieves nothing but stress for the vendor.
If you'd ever ordered from me, or someone who uses fairly unique stealth, you would perhaps better understand that as soon as its exposed it's redundant.
Packages get ripped open all the time in the postal system, plus it only takes one 'jobs worth' anti drug postman or post office worker to spot 30 grey plastic packages that look identical after he/she has watched a video like this, then they have enough 'probable cause' to flag it to their gaffer.
Not to mention the Old Bill are all over this site.
With all due respect, this isn't Amazon, and vendors spend a fortune making sure they are as under the radar as possible.
Why posting the packaging details acheives anything for a customer I don't know, but even if I just speak for myself as a very small vendor, please don't do it with mine.🙏
All the best.

Your feedback and support is greatly appreciated pal!
I'm not a vendor lads don't worry lol, I'm just a Stoned Scotsman trying to make LB a better place.
I will definitely take your advice about a fluffed up version into consideration when I record* the next video. Although I have another vid in the editing stage right now ;)

In all honesty what is it your trying to achieve, is it just to review products or promote the website, surely putting videos on YouTube draws unwanted attention after all this is an illegal site and maybe some vendors maybe don't want to be exposed on YouTube.

This might destroy your brain. Have you ever seen a person that you know of not necessarily a friend just someone you know of and you know their traits for instance the way they walk or talk or act in general. Anyway have you seen other people around the world maybe you have seen on tv or in movies or the news or even on holiday and they look exactly the same as the person you know of and them doing the exact same traits lol then you see others, you begin to build a pattern up of other people that look the same but are in different parts of the world or same country lol are we all inbreds or am I getting way to high. Just a thought 🤔🛸

Yessss sir,
You are an explorer and a revolutionary of the horizons of association... One of my favourite games while abroad is... You find people who remind you of friends or celebrities... but say Spanish if in Spain! Thai in Thailand etc....
A thing that I believe, is that we are all one conscious, so share all ideas if explored.... also having so many contributions it could be assured the thought you have had is someones echo or at least a combined effort... Before even exploring a multiverse theory!
Bun those haters and dream big bud, humanity needs it!
I look forward to your response.

Some friends of mine, while holidaying abroad, saw who they thought was me.
"Dashing, dashing!" they called
I didn't answer because it wasn't me.
I did, however, see a picture they took of this imposter and I can confirm that it was me. I was gobsmacked.
*names have been changed to protect the cloned.
With regard to an accessible shared consciousness, I'm on board with that theory. It has apparently been proven back in the 60s/70s.
From my understanding, a task set for a group of rats in one part of the world, once completed, can be quicker and more efficiently achieved by a second group of rats elsewhere in the world.
If you look up morphic resonance you will find this discussed further.
I'm very open to all options Reality as far as we are taught is a case of a one eyed man leading the blind.
Once upon a time the strong man was king, now the strong man guards the gate. Geeks will rule the world, muscle is obsolete. We have machines for that now. AI will do what the geeks do much better and quicker, brains will be obsolete.
Consciousness is the next frontier.
All the best brother

Biocentrism builds on that and goes on to suggest that consciousness creates the universe or reality, that time and space are mere illusions, manifestations in our minds, and that reality is determined by the observer.
Makes perfect sense to me. We all share the same common ancestor
LUCA
When I refer to the 'we' you can apply that to all living matter.
And if the big bang was a thing then we share that point of origin with ALL matter in the universe.
We are born of stars.
Also according to the science of mitochondrial dna (passed on by our mothers) , Western Europe was populated by 4...yes 4!... mitochondrial mothers. All of which can be traced back to one mitochondrial mother in Africa.

guys as you all know currently the fee is very high, the bitcoin transaction has been pending for 3 days, now the order on biggy is expired, the transaction status is still pending, what should I do??
Your money hasn't gone mate, contact transaxe support by chat or auto settlement borg.give them your order number explain what's happened and give them your wallet address.

Lucky you. Had the same happen to me where my order was sent to the wrong address and rather than get it resolved I just got a reason to tell me why it hadn't paid rather than a solution from Transaxe Support and the vendor didn't reply once in 5 days. This happened when I paid over the odds fees too so that's probably lost forever. I've tried my best to keep faith with when it goes wrong but this has left a real sour taste.
For perspective - over the last few years I have gone from a full time income in a MOD company to part time work trying to full time care with this financial climate as the backdrop so this place has worked as a lifeline for me. To take a financial hit of £150 and not have anything to help my wife is a sickener, especially when im coming on here and seeing people have waited 50 odd days to have any response in a similar situation to myself with no solution in sight. I can't take that financial risk any more. I'm always fair and agree to the terms any vendor/LB has for sale but I have been totally let down here. I'm not sure I'll be able to continue this any more. I can't take the risk.
The orders expired now (7am UK, 15/5/23) after being there since Wednesday.

Sorry to hear that Coltman.
When you say “sent to the wrong address” can you elaborate?
If it was an address generated by transaxe then your money should not be lost even though these have been hectic times across the blockchain so delays in resolution are inevitable.
Although the vendor should always reply they can’t actually help you much as funds correctly sent go to and are held by transaxe.
I’m very surprised to hear there are biggas waiting 50 days+ for a resolution….

Yep I found I'd sent to the previous order I'd made. I can only put it down to me being tired at work and instead of opening Firefox (opens all pages) I must've done opened the other browser which was probably on the page. I've no idea how but I have but when it comes to requesting it to be looked into I'm not getting anywhere other than being told what I know already.
With regards the vendor - I dropped a message to see if it had updated their end (prior to finding out true cause) and didn't get a reply. Gutted really as it's not their fault nor have they let me down before but almost a week without as much as a response is no good for me who's a flapper at the best of times.
I managed to get another order in which has gone through as normal but the process for when it doesn't go to plan has really thrown me off.

OK, got it.
Look, you won’t be the first person to have done that so I can see no reason why your coin should be permanently lost. That’s the good news👍
Bad news is your in a perfect storm with blockchain chaos and transaxe pressure so it’s unlikely your resolution is going to get prioritised for what is of course your mistake.
Good vendors maintain good comms so yeah that didn’t help.
But hey, if you fuck up your payment when buying illegal drugs but still eventually get all your coin back then that’s still kind of good though huh?😉
Good luck, and let us know how it plays out👍

Of course. I really don't like pushing people into prioritising me and I certainly don't want to queue jump, the whole LB site and everything it stands for I fully believe in and if anything it's just a lesson to me to take care when ordering (not doing it at the arse end of a night shift is going to be an ideal starting point). It's absolutely brilliant when it works. I'm just going to have to sit on my hands and hopefully the next message I get is news I have access to my funds. I've managed to order a replacement for this order so once the funds eventually clear I will only be putting that towards something nice off here.
I'm quick to jump onto here when things are getting me panicky so I feel it's only fair to say that Transaxe have been in contact to request a wallet address to send my original funds back to. Thank you for your help everyone and hopefully that'll drop back my way soon. Chances are it'll be reinvested on here fairly quickly.

When It’s Too Late To Stop Fascism
Before his suicide Austrian writer Stefan Zweig reflected on Hitler's rise. The New Yorker's George Prochnik compares it to the current US situation.
If fascism does come, it will ride in on the wings of "anti-fascist" socialist, who use racism, bigotry, and violence as thier vehicle.
The best way to stop it is to simply check out. There are more alternatives to corporate partipation than ever before.
Hopefully the US Judiciary will clip the wings of the Trump Circus! The media is losing patience with that crew as well.

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 😉

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
Nikola Tesla - Would love to bring his ideas to the current stage of tech giving humanity freedom and the world a much needed break from our destructive manors.

I know this is not a very popular idea. You don't hear it too often any more … but it's the truth. I have taken drugs before and … I had a real good time. Sorry. 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?

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.

your terms are overridden by the dispute system here. instead of just giving out refunds you will be giving out refunds and getting disputes on your reputation. there really is no way out of your responsibility here.

POSITIVE FOR BOTH.

If the admin can confirm this with you, then they need banning. The vendor has a responsibility to make sure what they're selling is safe. I've recently found out it only costs a few £ to test.
Thanks for letting us know and keeping everyone safe 👍

This has been requested time after time, but the solution everyone seemed to settle on was for vendors to lower their $ prices to match the drop.
I've come to the conclusion that they want to keep it in $ for 'legal' reasons, the severs are based in the U.S so i guess it's for similar reasons.

I can accept that an infinite versions of ‘now’ is all that exists. But then why does everything including ourselves ‘age’ in a linear way? Entropy is an answer, but I like the idea we just ‘perceive decay’ in the way we understand time…

Labs can now accelerate particles so that they arrive before they have left so “time travel” has in our terms been proven. But the human concept of time is so warped that I think advanced aliens hearing it would fall over laughing like the robots on the Cadbury’s Smash advert😂😂😂
I agree. All time is one time. For me, this explains ufo sightings and ghosts etc. Just for a second you can see another time happening alongside your time. Apparently loads of ufo sightings occur at or near nuclear missile facilities, in which case, future humans could be assessing radioactivity levels or whatever from a safe distance.
Says who? Never been ruled out of science. I think we can do it already plenty of people come out and said they’ve done it in secret projects etc
CIA have open documentation on successful time travelling - Should be on the web. They used 2 diff forms of time travel as well. One remote one physical. Does anyone ever listen to Art Bells old radio shows when time travellers called in. obviously a lot were fakes but entertaining.

Organic Fresh Frozen Live Resin🇺🇸
easy just make an unboxing vid
Organic Fresh Frozen Live Resin🇺🇸
Fresh Frozen Organic Live Resin by Terpizon Imported from USA.
This is the ultimate defining of LIVE resin. Frozen from crop! Just like how Live Rosin is done!
Save the more you buy!
- Skittles {Top Tier Live Resin}
What is Fresh Frozen?
The process of freezing cannabis immediately after harvest, usually with dry ice, to preserve trichomes for concentrate extraction. Fresh frozen cannabis usually produces high-quality concentrates such as live resins and live rosins, and saves cultivators time and labor by skipping the trimming, drying, and curing processes…
“I can always taste the difference between fresh frozen and cured resin dabs.”
We’ve personally never seen fresh frozen live resin before so we had to see what it was about and it does not disappoint!
Prices will rise Sunday 1pm to $80 for 1G. This is expensive even in bulk and you will not find better quality and price wise.
Loyalty card for free shipping over $250 & $130 for previous patients

I thought all live resin and live rosin is made from frozen plants. The plants are frozen alive straight from being cropped to maintain the trichromez and terpenes otherwise it would be just resin or rosin.
The terms “fresh frozen” and “live” are interchangeable and refer to freezing the bud straight from harvest and missing out the curing stage, this preservers a much higher level of terpenes. Having tried this extract, I can confidently say it’s a high quality live/fresh frozen resin with a great taste, clean high and dabs super clean in the banger, it’s also organic which definitely helps in how clean it is 👍

Not unless she ate shit thats from a dog or animal that's not well. They they become them down the line too. Its basiccally just adding good bacteria's into your body and it's the same benefits and no need for actual shit. so load ur doggo up with probiotics. and good bacteria's. Same idea.
When you have antibiotic your healthy bacteria are killed and takes up 3 to 6 months using fecal transplant to restore beneficial bacteria. This study shows that a person's own gut in fecal mattercan be frozen to restore patients healthy gut eco system. Jj
You can also take a good prebiotic and probiotic supplement whilst taking antibiotics, well regularly really and eat natural yogurt regularly too
Hitler's doctor, Theodor Morell, used to prescribe Mutaflor - a probiotic isolated from a German soldier's shit in 1917 - to treat the Fuhrer's IBS. It's still sold today.
On a lighter note, two of my friends performed a transplant in an amateur effort to fix the other's gut problems. They've decided to call themselves 'the bum chums' since it all came out. Not very PC, but they get away with it because they're both gayer than Liberace.

Good questions.
Yes, it is all an accident, and your ability to ask that question i.e your conscience is little more than an overloaded neural dump.
On a positive note the odds of you being here, your sperm, egg, your moment is simply incredible, universally nuts.
Entropy means you will go back to the cosmos, back to your scattering of atoms that formed you, which is quite beautiful really and just how it should be.
There is no reason why there are not infinite universes and infinite versions of you, all existing together, right now. 😘

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.

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..

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!

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

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

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

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

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

Anyone else awake and lonely?
its hard to motivate exercise or even a walk when you feel like this but it has a better success ratio than weed when you are really in the hole mate.…
Anyone else awake and lonely?
Multiple beers, multiple vapes. Still feel like shit. I realise this is not a mental health forum. The one I've joined there's no one online. Was going to try my first ever edible tonight but in the end didn't feel up to it. Maybe that would have made a difference, who knows. Life is shit
I suffer greatly. I have a toxic family that doesn't help. Cut out the booze, start exercising and building from the inside. Weight training really helps me. You haven't messed up your life. Tomorrow is a new day. Small steps, little and often. Slowly, day by day you can build. You are not alone.
Thanks mate but tried it all. Managed to give up the booze for a year. Went to the gym four times a week, went swimming, did other shit. Made no difference. Ended up so suicidal my GP did an urgent referral to a psychiatrist. Still under their care and on the drugs they prescribed. Had already done four years on Prozac and four and half years on Sertraline before I saw them. Now been on "California Rocket Fuel" a combination of Venlafaxine and Mirtazapine for six years. Still depressed as fuck which is what has led me here. Considering microdosing shrooms next. Anything to provide some release.
Can't recommend microdosing because I haven't tried it but I know there are lots of studies going on.
I would recommend the Wim Hof method for you as I have to others. Look at any one of his you tube vids and check that comment section.
Ptsd, anxiety, depression, auto immune conditions, skeletal problems and many more suffering individuals are reaping the benefits of cold water therapy and some breathwork.
I started over a year ago and have witnessed the benefits first hand.
Say no to pharma
Get high on your own supply

It may seem patronising, I do not mean to be. I don't know what hardships you've had
Sometimes I have thought too that life can be shitty and wouldn't it be great to change it
often times we cannot
we can only change our perception. I have sometimes allowed the external pressure of life to take its control and impact my mood. I have recently become aware of the fact that everything in this world around us is actually within us and we are a part of all of it.
We use our senses to interact with the world around us. The experience of all of it is 100% an internal affair. We have the power to decide if that twat at work makes us angry. We can decide whether we allow that person or life situation to affect us. To give someone or something the power to affect us in such ways is slavery unto ourselves.
Don't listen to the voice in your head telling you your shit or life is shit. That voice is not you. You are deeper than that. If you look and leave all the shit outside the gate you may find the peace within you.
Cold showers, breathwork, meditation. That's my best advice. Hope it helps
All the best brother

Ohh mate, I hear you and been on most of these and some heavy pain stuff.
Everyone’s different, let’s get that out there. What works for some might not others, for me.
Outside of the advice and activities I’ve mentioned. I had to learn and read about how the brain works, how we manage our feelings and stuff. Some are boring but others can really help you visualise the demon AND understand yours and how to keep them at bay day at a time to slowly improve.
Change is hard and slow but never too late!
Mirtzapine was my final med before I was off them for good ( just weed, coffee and gaming now, and a good bit of porn).
It was a very hard journey, but set a written plan, have a wall of activities, some you’ll hate for the mood, some might work .
You’re a smart fella I’ve read most your posts, you got this.
Cbd weed is good too now, nice flavours and feeling without being baked.
Care looking at path of new drug to replace and fix issue, need to drill down and find your demon and it’s tactics to rid ❤️

I'm really sorry to hear that, man. I hope you at least get some respite this weekend. But, there are many of us here to listen. If your own cloud is grey, try to be a rainbow on someone else's... If I am unhelpable, then maybe I can help someone else. Wishing you well today.
We can highly recommend micro-dosing and have many clients that use it for depression. We know from personal experience shroomies help alot too. Only thing is with these kinds of meds is you cannot be taking any big pharma stuff or use alcohol in anyway. And as much as we love herb and believe in the power it has too, its better to use it when you're in a good mental state otherwise it could actually make things worse...that's our experience anyway.
Its best to not only rely on one thing like friends said here below...exercise..healhty diet...who you surround yourself with combined with the use of psychedelics is a good place to start :-) and of course then there is Ayahuasca...there are many tools but in the end its all about your will...you need to really want to change your life...own it and then things will start to change ;-)
Best of luck friend

Might sound silly to some, but do you game at all mate?
Age is irrelevant there’s a game for everyone ❤️
Online one would let you find little community too, and there’s always someone awake around the world to chill with.
Helps keep mind occupied on game, and then social elements too 👍

Only game I play is an MMO called World of Tanks. Been playing it off an on for ten years. Sometimes I can get lost in it, but it's become harder recently.
Never really appealed to me, not sure why. Just something about the tanks ticks the right boxes for me. 😊👍
Dude world of warships is so sick! not gonna lie, a friend of mine used to play this game and at a point he wanted to play with me together, I was instantly hooked by the game, it really is fun :)
Hello Khasi,
sorry to hear that you experience your life the way you do. Since we are not knowing each other we dont know in what kind of situation you are in and the way you got to this point of depression. We don’t recommend drug consume when feeling lonely or depressed since it is a devils circle which will make you even more mentally dependent. Life is not shit, life is your responsibility and what you make out of it. Most important thing is to distract yourself the right way, do sports and what you like and what you are passionate about,eat healthy, tomorrow you can always be the better version of the yesterday, every single day. Anyways we wish you just the best in coping with your depression, stay safe and feel hugged, you are not the only one suffering from depression.
<3

Try find hobby, go outside try not to spend lots of time sitting home, riding bike helps me a lot
Fair point. One of the problems with depression is that it kills your motivation. It gets harder to get out and do new things. I walk my dog 4.5 miles a day and that does help. I used to cycle commute every day when I was working! But I'm 67 now and not in the best physical health.
I’m really sorry to hear that you are having a tough time. Depression is tough and especially when you’re having struggles with your health.
Trying to do what you can to be active is helpful, I found doing mindfulness pretty helpful. I was sceptical but found it pretty positive to take some time out and quiet the noise in your mind and also help you be a bit kinder to yourself.
I’m not sure self-medicating is easy to get right.
I find some kinds of weed helpful some have the opposite effect. Cbd can be good for anxiety and there seems to be a good amount of evidence that psilocybin can help with depression, whether that be the larger dose or micro. Whether that’s right for your situation I don’t know.
I hope that you find some way through things and manage to get into a more positive state of mind.
Eye of the tiger and all that jazz.

Thanks man for such a thoughtful comment. I agree self-medicating is a very inexact science and so easy to get wrong. That said, my own experience of how inexact medicating by professionals can be makes me think experimenting personally and following your instincts to try new things has the potential to lead you to positive outcomes.
Hi Khasi
I'm sorry to hear what you are going through.
If anything this thread is 40+ posts so you're not alone.
I went through this 6 years ago and it took a while for it to stop.
Now am wary of pharma treatments as I've seen several people get hooked without thier symptoms improving or going away.
What is more there is controversial evidence regarding Prozac possibly increasing suicidal thoughts:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluoxetine
https://www.theguardian.com/science/2000/may/22/drugs.uknews
If you can get hold of the latest New Scientist magazine there is an article about latest findings about depression and possible new treatments, I haven't bought it yet:
https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg25734220-100-fresh-ideas-about-the-causes-of-depression-are-bringing-new-treatments
Now there is plenty of good advice and supprt from nice biggas in this thread but I would offer a word of warning about mushrooms: do not use them on your own.
I do that myself but am a user with 25+ years of experience. They can send you to heaven but also to hell so do not try to self-medicate with psychedelics.
If you want to try them by any means try to join one of the experimental UK studies in a clinical setting with a medical professional.
I hope you do get better

Your not alone Khasi. I live in a caravan in a field in the middle of nowhere on my own. Not by choice but as a result of really painful split with the mother of my child who I still love and care for to this day. I suffer terribly with loneliness, self doubt and depression. 3 years on my own and I still don't feel independent or strong and at times I've wanted to give up. I get through it because I believe it will change and because I want to see my daughter grow up and be happy.
Drugging yourself does not make you happy. Booze makes you more sensitive and clouds your head, weed can make you overthink everything and while they may numb your pain and help you drop off it will wear off at about 3am and you'll wake up and be restless and feel depressed.
We all make mistakes in life, I know I have, but to forever see yourself in a bad light is harmful to you and others. I'm sure you've done some good things in your life, whether for yourself or helping others. Remember those things and give yourself some credit. Now plan to go and help someone, do a nice thing for somebody. They will see the real you and that is who they will remember. You will hopefully see a change in yourself when you feel appreciated. Happiness comes from what you give not what you get. Good luck my friend, Feel free to message via this post anytime. I'll always listen and help if I can :)

Bro/sis ur right life is shit!! But it can be better!!! Sometimes you just need to sit bk and reevaluate your life,goals,aspirations and see how you put the shit in a bag and in the bin.... there's always gonna be that bit shit in ur life its just how you deal with it that matters... my other half has depression and she has just recently started on a vape and it's changed her moods dramatically... I've never been a fan of doctors depression/mood medication as its all just basically shit... everyone's different bro try what natural medicine you can... its on this planet for a reason bro.... Best of luck to you ✌️✌️✌️
Ever thought about selling up and moving somewhere cheaper or just going to do voluntary work in some hot country?
Maybe if I was younger mate but I'm 67. I wouldn't have the energy. Plus I have two kids and my house always remains their home for when they want to visit. And I'm still being treated for cancer so kind of want to stick with what I know if you know what I mean.
Hi Khasi
I didn't know you have cancer.
Hopefully you're one of those people who have a good loving relaitonship with their kids - hopefully.
Going back to the mushrooms if anything you might want to get in touch with the folks at the Imperial College London Psychedelic Research Centre - they are looking for participants for a microdoing clinical trial:
https://www.imperial.ac.uk/psychedelic-research-centre/trials/microdosing-study-20/
There is also one at King's College London:
https://www.kcl.ac.uk/research/psilocybin-in-depression-resistant-to-standard-treatments-psider-study
I'm not trying to tell you what to do but whatever you do do not take mushrooms on your own if you never had any.

life is some journey. we probably do it to ourselves. choices and decisions old boy, bit of a buzz kill but do this = that. if i drink those beers (i drink) what is the likely result. hugs and uggs x
believe me I know mate. I have 67 years of choices, decisions and actions to mull over and regret. I've fucked my own life up, that's one thing I'm under no illusions about!
Chin up, you sound like a good person, i've respect for my elders, some older folks are nasty and bitter.
I'm never lonely, was bitten by Christianity at a very early age and my faith keeps me going.
I was content and comfortable with the thought of physical death as early as my late teens /very early twenties.
This life is just a ride.💫🙏

Congo National Park Now Mining Bitcoin
Waterfalls produce electricity, instead of bringing a huge electricity network through the park they can use it to mine on nearby computers and pay for the park's expenses.
That's brilliant. They can also use the water like an A/c to cold down machines and mining room

Remembering Hal Finney on the Anniversary of the First Bitcoin Transaction
On Jan. 12, 2009, Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of the Bitcoin system, sent Hal Finney, a well-regarded cryptographer and computer scientist, 10 bitcoin (BTC). This test transaction, sent before BTC had a quotable price, was a harbinger of the many peer-to-peer transfers to come enabled by the world’s first cryptocurrency network.

Frozen pizza woes
true that but consider them a base
Frozen pizza woes
Is there ever enough cheese on a frozen pizza?
What kind of chef creates a cheese pizza recipe with 4 bits of grated cheese on?!
What kind of chef creates a cheese pizza recipe with 4 bits of grated cheese on?!
Think it all depends on the brand doesn't it. Some are dire. Asda extra special pizza have plenty on. There stonebaked, lovely! Aldi do a few fresh not frozen ones that are fooking delightful when you've got the munchies.
I kinda like the thin and crispy bases on the ol' cheapo frozen ones.... I have had a few of the Aldi ham and mushroom stone baked, a bit too much dough for my liking. I am often stoned in Aldi and they do always look good.
Simple solution! ALDI stonebaked pizzas in the black boxes... GAME CHANGER!!
(Remember to cook in grill not OVEN, Changes everything! You will thank me later)
(Remember to cook in grill not OVEN, Changes everything! You will thank me later)
Cook it under the grill?? What is this witchcraft? I'll go get pizza right now 😅
Trust me! Dont want to be dramatic or anything but... it changed my life forever 🤣 tastes like fresh pizza every time!
Go on lad haha . You right totally agree I tried this for first time last week . Pizza in grill. Tastes so much better
Love pizza but alway make my own, dough is easy- couple of small cups plain or bread flour, 14g yeast, warm water, half teaspoon salt, dessert spoon sugar, quarter cup olive oil, mix/knead in a food processor for ten minutes, set aside in the bowl with cling film over to rise for a couple of hours, knock out air, let rise again for an hour. Roll out with a rolling pin and some lightly oiled grease proof paper your base however big you want, dust with flour both sides and cover with toppings of your choice, bung into an oven on the hottest setting then turn down to a lower heat, bingo! :)
Tastes almost the same as a proper Italian Pizza. Graze!
Tastes almost the same as a proper Italian Pizza. Graze!
I love homemade pizza, I generally roll it a bit bigger than the dish so i can put a decent crust on it. I like to do a salt and pepper crust, brush oil around the edge and then laden with salt an pepper, it turns out really nice once its cooked. Sesame and chilli flakes work nicely too.
Well, it's the ones they make for you , you're not making it yourself. We call them "build your own" Asda pizza, does everyone? 🤔 I wrongly assumed that's what everyone calls them 😂

Noob Question about BTC anonymity
let them audit away your bank only sees the individual's name you send funds to not the p2p exchange like agoradesk.
Noob Question about BTC anonymity
Hello! Hope all are having a good end to the weekend.
I'm really anxious about the buying process... specifically the bitcoin buying process and transfer. I understand I can use agoradesk or similar to buy bitcoin without KYC, which is great - but I'll need to use a banc acct in my name, right? To actually provide the funds, that is. In which case doesn't that mean there a clear trail regardless (from my bank account, saying I'm buying BTC from an anon site?)
Not sure if I'm missing something here, but doesn't that partially get rid of the point of anonymous sites like Agoradesk? I'm worried because future jobs in my field sometimes need to run financial audits on candidates, and idk whether it would look sketchy buying BTC via agoradesk or similar
Sorry for the long paragraph, thanks for any advice

Thanks for the response! So, the bank only sees the individual who I buy the BTC from, and then from there the BTC sits in the exchange wallet before I transfer it to a private wallet (if my understanding is right).
The bank can't see any of my wallet addresses or anything from that transaction, or can they? I worry because of the whole idea of all BTC transactions being permanent and traceable.. that they (or financial audit people) will be able to see the transaction between wallet -> LB, and work out what the transaction was about.
Sorry for the long ass message, just stressed

What problem are you trying to solve?
Yes your bank will know you bought cryptocurrency, but what's the problem with that?
Yes your bank will know you bought cryptocurrency, but what's the problem with that?
Sorry for not being clear, thanks for the reply. I think it's overly paranoia in my case. I was wondering firstly if there's negative connotations with buying from agoradesk (in the same way as apparently coin mixing is associated with criminal activity), and secondly (more importantly) whether the bank knows from the transaction which wallet address the crypto goes into?
Wherever you buy from is going to have a KYC requirement, or it's clear you're avoiding KYC.
It's perfectly legal to buy sell and own cryptocurrency, though your bank will probably try to stop you.
Your bank will only transfer £ and have no window whatsoever on what wallet addresses you might use. The exchange will know who you are and require ID, but you can simply send from an exchange to a local wallet thereby breaking that connection, eg Exodus.
If you're buying and selling large amounts you're right to be careful but otherwise no problem.

Fantastic, that's exactly what I was wanting to be clear on. Thanks so much for taking the time to reply, really appreciate it! Exodus is actually the wallet I'm taking a look at now, I'm thinking with that and AgoraDesk I should be all sorted. Have a great evening :)
No-one cares about us buying eighths, quarters and halves on here, least of all the police.
Poca you dim wit they are looking at milking vendors you selfish prick!

An investigation into the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic
Does anyone remember investigate journalism?

{science}
An investigation into the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic
"there’s been a shift in the scientific consensus on this topic. For about the first year of the pandemic, it was widely accepted that SARS-CoV-2, the virus behind COVID-19, had a natural origin, meaning that it first spread to humans naturally from an animal (also called a zoonotic origin). Any suggestion that it could have come from a lab was dismissed as a conspiracy theory. Then, sometime around spring 2021 something changed."
I believe it does still happen, though not through organisations that are supported (through advertising) by Big Pharma companies. I believe USA and New Zealand are the only countries that allow pharma advertising - I'd like to think we'd have far more honest journalism if all pharma advertising was banned, but sadly the lack of pharma advertising in this country hasn't helped journalists uncover and report on the biggest scam of our lifetimes.
The biggest issue for me is that even before the outbreak the WHO was in the pocket of the Chinese. Ghebreyesus had got to the top based on their power voting and from the start he did what they told him to do and say.
The WHO has proved itself to be woefully unfit for purpose (and that’s a HUGE understatement), and the fact that it exists today almost unchanged and with Ghebreyesus still heading it I find absolutely mind boggling 😵💫😤

I remember at the start of this thing (before it came here and was only seen as a problem for China) that one of the 3-letter agencies reported a potential lab leak at Wuhan. They surmised this through a complete lack of mobile 'phone signals coming from the Wuhan site, and satellite images showing the normally-full car park being empty. I've no idea if any of this is true, of course, and haven't heard it mentioned again since. My understanding is that it'd take thousands of years for a virus to mutate 'naturally' (ie without gain of function research) into what it did, and that various 'markers' have been found that prove it's the result of gof research. I believe these markers are behind the Big Pharma court cases (suing each other) that are currently happening. So much information (from good, reliable sources, and leaders in relevant fields) that simply isn't making it onto mainstream media. If you're aware of the cover-ups happening then you have proof, if you needed it, that the media is not working for our interests and certainly isn't our friend. Sad times indeed.
It’s genocide imo the virus came out of a lab and they always new the vaccine was going to kill it’s very sad indeed that this has managed to happen but I struggle to believe it was an accident with tests being made before pandemic etc

Evening fine people of littlebiggy
Had a couple of years away from the site and what with changes of phone etc I've lost apps and remembering the ins and Outs of bitcoin.
Used to use samarai but notice how easy Blockchain is to set up, can I use the app to buy, store as a wallet and then upload to purchase the good stuff on here? Or do I need another wallet style app?

Using paxful lightning network
Hi Guys,
I've bought before on paxful (over a year ago) and don't remember they had the lightning network then. i've been trying to buy recently and have had problems. They want me to add an invoice, but when I paste the seller's address into the field it doesn't recognise it. Any thoughts?

Forgotten password need help
Hey guys
I’ve not bought anything since the summer as I went a bit crazy on my last round of orders and built up a bit of stock.
The quality of the bud has been that exceptional that for the life of me I cannot remember my password.
Is there any way of retrieving it?
I know I could order using this new account but my old one will have more credibility since I’ve made 75+ orders with it.
Many thanks

Supermarket delivery drivers, not all stores operate a home shopping service, but those that do just pop round to customer service and tell them you're interested.

What happened to rap
It used to have merrits and lyrically intellectual word play and story tellin, now its just lean and drugs
Pete and baz are quality lol, makes you think how them old boys sound so current maybe they have top grime artist ghost writers 😂
Ghost writers or not you’ve got to admit they can rap! I honestly don’t think they do have ghost writers or that they’re a gimmick though. They’ve said in interviews they write with the help of their grand kids for current slang plus to date I haven’t found any evidence to say that they had prior connections with anyone like that in the music industry who would have ghost written for them. Time will tell though and I’ll happily stand corrected! (Maybe not happily as some of the magic would be lost but still lol). Anyway check out the track in the link if you haven’t already. Banger!
They don’t lip sync, they do live gigs. The videos look like lip syncing as the video clips are recorded and paired with the fully recorded and mastered track and that’s obviously not a perfect match.
Depends who your listening to. Young rap yea. But there’s plenty of quality out there. Cheat codes by black thought and danger mouse is a great album that was released earlier in the year. Check it out mate
Just have to listen to them albums never see greatness like that again lol. Kendrick was good tho

Does anybody get taste sensations from certain words
Mobile Top-Up pack gives me a taste in the back of my mouth
...and Oliver Sacks (neurologist) has some excellent examples of it in his writings. Biggas might enjoy his book 'Hallucinations'. Synaethesia experiences are common whilst on acid or mushrooms - giving weight to the theory that our ('normal' state) consciousness limits or restricts our perceptions so that we can function effectively in this narrow frequency we think of as 'reality' 😉. Cheers! 👍
For me, certain words have taste, some colour.
Music will sometimes involve a visual stream of colours layered over base reality, like AR. The specific name for this is chromesthesia.
We exist. People say 'wow, that must be awesome'. Well, not when a taste is triggered in your mouth you absolutely despise. I can't remember not having it. It's normal to me. It can get a little intrusive, and sometimes I think I can infer something about the interconnectivity of our reality. However, after reexamining these moments later, it's usually complete bollocks.😂

Just been munching UK dispensary ice cream cake jellies, very nice. Eddy's edibles has some decent sweets as well, I will be having one soon! 😋
I'm looking to make some edibles for my page.
Some input as to what people are wanting please?
Cookies? Brownies? Gummy or thc juice(not lean)
I have some 🔥 Rso.
Does anybody understand the dosing??
ie- 1ml Rso = 1000mg??

After my first edibles. Looked at those following your tip. Look amazing quality stuff but the shipping pushes it outside my budget. I've ordered some from a UK vendor here. Hope for the best. My only worry is you don't really know what has gone into making them.

You’re right, it’s a bit of a crapshoot to be honest, but for me I’ve only gone wrong when I’ve chased strength. We are all different when it comes to edibles and I don’t need a big dose.
I do find the high off good quality edibles to be very special though👍😻

The Power of Nightmares Part 1 - Baby It's Cold Outside
yes can definitely feel the bbc creep, it does reflect well on them though.
Love a bit of Adam Curtis, engrossing always, but always have an underlying feeling that I'm being told a narrative that is only one strand of a story. The fact that he's BBC using BBC clips adds to my unease. However I've watched the lot and some of the clips blow the mind. His latest Traumazone is newly up on iplayer about the fall of communism (timely eh?)

Ordered from Daan on the 20th of September, order was supposedly sent out but nothing arrived.
Had to nudge Daan a few times to check tracking, and was always told "it's all sorted and on the way"
Eventually Daan said he was away for a bit, reshipped the order and would provide tracking, but once again nothing and back to radio silence
It's the 13th of Oct and my time to dispute has run out. Judging by other recent reviews it seems people think he's done a runner
I've ordered from Radar Breeder twice in the meantime, and both arrived next day after posting
Are others having a similar experience with Daan?

Yeah I had similar mate. No product, got told he'll check the tracking and get back to me but didn't hear from him again. Gave him a prod but nothing. Opened up a disupute and just left it at that for now.
Yep exact same experience and still no goods, every other vendor I've used has been on point and on time
Same here - still no product 4 weeks later and that despite a message (after I chased) saying he'll sort it. I note a response to this post....so will do as Daan asks and ask again for my order to be shipped (not sure why I'd need to ask 3 times??) but this is the poorest service I've yet to encounter from any vendor on any website....grrrrrrrr!
Updated 21/10/22 - No response to any of my messages and Daan has not been online for 5 days. Feels like I've been mugged off by him..wish I'd have seen these warning before I ordered! What is wrong with some people?!

Got subbed an order with some PGR weed. A bit disappointed I wasn’t notified that my initial order would be subbed! Is that commonplace with vendors on here? It’s really put me off using this vendor again. The last bud I got was ok but there were hairs running through all the buds! I let that slide... but PGR weed... that’s so depressing.

Why does God God ?
Controversial topic, but if god was real, what would be one of the defining reasons he does what he does, and what does he gain from it.
Yeah all the time but I’m not on about that, I’m trying to say that god is always seen as the good guy and devil as the bad guy, so why does god choose good over bad, in other words why does god god, why does he not just kill everything in existence or at least take control of them and make them do ridiculous things, like millions or billions of people all doing the same thing at once, why would he do that, what would be the defining reason or moment that caused that outcome
Even in a thread you will quickly run out of rationalizations for a view shaped by a primitive book.
Well Mother Nature’s climate change would suggest that he IS going to kill at least most of what’s in existence, and I’m pretty sure we DO spend most of our time being made to do ridiculous things!
The boundaries between good and evil are much more nuanced. Every action (good or evil) has a reaction (evil or good). Satan is a fallen Angel so both the greatest good and the greatest evil co-exist in the same figure…

Humans have caused this by building to many houses and building projects that have stopped natural water from going into the ground to reach the water table, instead it evaporates and goes elsewhere, causing what we have today, floods in one area with extreme droughts in another, so humans are to blame for such things.
From what I’ve seen with anything plant human or animal, even bacteria, they all seem to do as they please even when guided to do something sensible that would avoid negative outcomes, they do it all in confidence, no one makes them do anything that they don’t agree to first, even subconsciously all those problems where surface level that was just ignored due to ingorance or lack of knowledge.
Good and Evil are clearly separated, I think your confusing them with something that they both have, this saying explains it “nothing comes for free in life, if you got it for free someone has already suffered, if you pay for it then you have suffered” so someone always has to suffer, that suffering doesn’t always have to be good nor does it always have to be bad, I believe it’s a collective decision based on an infinite amount of outcomes with all the other humans plants etc currently in existence, but good and bad are clearly separated, they are no where near the same.
Satan was never an angel. He has no capacity for good, only selfish tendencies that cloud his judgment.

Many Christians believe the Devil was once a beautiful angel named Lucifer who defied God and fell from grace. This assumption that he is a fallen angel is often based the book of Isaiah in the Bible, which says, “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations.”
How do you know it's humans? And not god clicking on us and instructing us to build etc?
And as for the make us do silly things etc, how do you know this isn't several re-rolls down the line and that's already occurred and God has moved out of the remove the ladder from the Sims swimming pool part of their game and is being more restrained this time round

Weird question. Why does he choose good? Look around you. He doesn't. If God is real (he's not) he's powerless or evil. You only need to have human experience to know that it's impossible that he exists without one of these being true. Evil, or powerless
I think to answer, or at the least ponder this question, we need to define just exactly what we perceive as a God...
There is a possibility that we are chance personified. We like to believe that God created us and planned us in his image, but what if we're a by-product of a playground or an experiment gone wrong? We like to believe that our universe is special and has life, but the multiverse theory is a possibility too - what if we're just a number?
What if we're actually a hobby in a petri dish, where 'God', the scientist, is just testing waters? What if we're actually a cure for a cancerous universe, and we are the solution to grow and destroy so that the Universe cannot danger anything else? We would no longer be so special if we're just a copy, would we?
I think these theological / philosophical questions, while not necessarily 'solvable', will become much easier to answer once we have a more advanced perception of what we are and where we are (in terms of the universe).
What does God get out of this? Maybe satisfaction of a job well done? Research for a paper he is writing?
And let's not forget God doesn't have to be singular... We do not understand what is outside the boundaries of our Universe... What if there is a never-ending cycle of 'humans' who have broken boundaries in their own universes, and we are their next steps in creation; we advance to universal levels, and pass the borders to become creators of a next universe?
What if God actually has a family, and we are a toy for baby god to play around with? But then would there be something even bigger and more inconceivable (for us) than the God we know? Think of it this way - bacteria to us is so tiny it's almost irrelevant, ants to mountains are almost pointless, just as we may be to God... But what if there is an even bigger fish in the pond of Gods? What if there is a God of a God, and therefore a God of a God of a God?
Maybe God isn't even aware we exist...

Interesting.
Here we have the LHC, the large hadron collider. An atom smasher that is capable of recreating miniature big bangs, probably many per minute.
Who's to say we have not created miniature universes at a phenomenal rate. Universes that are bound by their own physics and outcomes?
Possibly our universe was created in the same way.
There is an episode of the Simpsons where this theory is put into animation and the universe is contained in an atom on homers head.
Doh!

WHY DO HUMANS PROCREATE? WHY DO BEES LIKE DANCING AND COLLECTING POLLEN? THINK ITS JUST PART OF HIS BEING OR ITS SO COMPLEX US MERE MORTALS WON'T UNDERSTAND. I PREFER THE FIRST OPTION THOUGH
If god did exist - let’s say yes for the purpose of this
If god didn’t god they wouldn’t be god
If god didn’t god they wouldn’t be god
'God' hasn't got to the end yet - I'll let you into a secret - our individual consciousness is part of the universal consciousness which has been evolving since the beginning of this iteration of the universe – i.e. the universe is becoming conscious, and we are part of it.
Or to put it another way – we are all part of ‘God or Nature’ and still in the 'becoming' stage, not yet at the ‘being’ stage – that would be the end of history and we would (or whatever intelligence is left if not human) at that stage become part of God – or the totality of existence.

no dark side of the Moon
since the/our moon is tidally locked to us here on earth (unique, for example the moons of mars and jupitar are not tidally locked). that means that the side of the moon we cannot see (dark side) is in fact exposed to the sun, all of the time, there is no dark side of the moon, it's completely lit up all the time
well sailor moon is lit up all the time, worked with her years ago, very nice kid.
When we see the full moon on earth,the opposite side is dark so sometimes there is a dark side
Quite right PollyP! Think you've been watching quite a few "QIs"on TV!(possibly UKTV repeats on "Mimosa Wednesdays??Lol!).....For my 10 pennies worth the best album the Floyd ever produced!(Dark Side Of The Moon) :)
Absolutely!...It gets played about once a week in my house! That and Tangerine Dreams "Phaedra" (another great stoner album) :)

Dear LB.
If you are studying for an exam.
Can cannabis at night affect your memory formation ie you may not be able to recall things the next day?

If you are studying for an exam.

Thoughts
For me personally it doesn't help :( Unless its a subject I happen to be very very interested in!
I know people who it works wonders for in this situation! but sadly 90% of the time I forget everything.lol. or just stop half way as I find my mind doesn't want to concentrate on boring things when high.
Although, on the other hand, training/exercise when high works really well for me!
I think as a rough rule of thumb, it comes down to the individual.. As Polly says though, high cannabis use in a young brain can potentially have detrimental effects like poor short term memory issues..

Individual experiences vary, and still not a lot of proper research in this area.
Young minds and high THC strains seem to have an overall negative impact on short term memory.
Older minds and THC/CBD combined strains may be beneficial against risks of dementia, Alzheimer’s etc.
Any effects seem to be reversed by abstaining.
Overall, a night on the doobie before an exam is probably not a great idea…👍

i would love to know the answer to this my take is deeper and slower with most things cannabis and memory recall is sure one of them
I did my master's whilst smoking almost every night. For me it did not affect my memory but, it did definitely and negatively effect my motivation and mood in the mornings.
There are some factors that might change the experience but cannabis strain and our own endocrine system (hormones) come to the top of my head.
My personal experience is... The first cannabis intake of the day makes me more calm, present and easy to concentrate.
On the other side, some studies show that cannabis can reduce memory... Which can be good for certain treatments (trauma for ex.)
So can cannabis affect your memory and you not be able to recall things next day?
I would vote yes... specially if you want to memorize a lot of information
but also bad sleep and other things can affect.
How did the exam go?
Stay happy stay high!

It depends on what state of mind I am in. I suffer with adhd and it has massively helped with my concentration whilst at uni. I am in my late 20s for background info. I can't really comment on the effects it has on younger people as I started smoking in the past 2 years.

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.
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.

true this, look up good cops on google and you won't find shit. its insane if you simply look at the numbers. millions of cops in the world and a decent percentage of good people in the ranks, maybe higher than other professions if anything. how many stories interesting, funny and positive must exist but none of that is click worthy. conflict, violence, controversy that's all we want to fill our heads with.

people only think of corruption with thai cops but for many other reasons the thai police force continues to recruit great people, they are wise and very respectful and loving of the society they serve.

Indoors or outdoors while on shrooms?
I just wanted to see what everyone prefers while eating boomers. I personally prefer the outdoors. I love to watch the colors get super vivid and contrast with one another. I feel more at peace when I am outside. It’s not bad inside for me, just feels like a different vibe as soon as I walk in my house. Anyways, excited to hear which you guys prefer and some things you do while booming!
My favorite places to journey are all outdoors. I usually build a campfire to have ready for nightfall inside a beautiful National Forest. No one bothers me. I am all alone. No bring along friends to distract me. Venturing alone in deep forest with no cell service is counterintuitive, yet well worth it! It creates a setting where I can feel safe and connected with the Earth.
Try it out for yourself. Go primitive and connect to the healing energy of the plants, trees, and water. Have a truly regenerating and visual experience.

Hell yeah man, that sounds amazing! I’ll definitely give that a try very soon. I had a very intense trip last night that was coming in waves. I went on a walk with my wife And it was amazing the visuals were very intense and the colors were different on the strain that I took. I usually get bright vivid colors and this time they were filled down, more like hippy colors or something, it was a crazy experience.
Hell yeah! I love being up in the mountains while booming, but I also like watching the fireplace in my home do what it does also. And the floor starts moving like a river. So, it’s real similar to being outdoors lol!
Always changes depends on doses
Sometimes being heavy trippin' outdoors can be scary and also sometimes being indoors tripping you just want out - Duality My friend.

I'd apply your rule to Banks as well Polly 😠 I wish Bitpanda accepted Drivers Licence as ID like pretty much everyone else though as they looked promising...
Thanks polly, really appreciate it. They are bastards indeed.!! Used them for 3 years almost, suddenly no prior warning or anything just closed my acc. Will look into Bitpanda 😉 j
Can i please ask, when using bittylicious would you purchase btc and send to your own wallet before sending to seller or what you use the sellers btc address directly with bittylicious and send from there? Thanks
Since the multi item/vendor basket arrived on LB I just send direct from Bitty
Before then I would send to my wallet first and then pay for each item I wanted separately. You can lower fees in say Electrum to 1 sat/byte (very low) and it would still hit the vendor in around 40 minutes.
Some people will say it is safer to send to your own wallet first
Here is a guide. Make sure your bank isn't on their blacklist and make sure you don't mess up the reference part when transferring :-D
Hope this helps

Could UK Dispensary have blocked my messages?

Could UK Dispensary have blocked my messages?
Basically almost a month ago they sent me a wrong order and promised to make it right, so I didn't do the dispute order button which I should have. Now when I message them for the past four days it shows that they haven't been online and I am wondering if they have just blocked me. Basically I have two reviews left for the two products they still owe me and transaxe haven't been back to me in a couple of days so don't think they are even going to mediate to get it sorted so I am just going to warn others that they have cheated me out of a quite large order. I don't want to atttribute to malice what could be blamed on incompetence and sending me the wrong order in the first place makes me think it is incompetence, but I am not hanging around giving them the benefit of the doubt all day if they blocked me and robbed my money. What would others suggest I do? Assume they've robbed my money and blocked me or just not got their shit together and will make it right eventually?
Good comms solves everything but after this amount of time it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen!…UKD have clearly copped a sulk for some reason and are leaving transaxe to refund you or otherwise mediate a solution. As you are finding out that can be a slow progress once the auto dispute window has expired.
If you want to share your experiences with UKD to help other Biggas there is no reason why you shouldn’t.
It’s a shame as UKD have been around for a while and have had good products but I have known them to be a bit er….temperamental…shall we say…

Thanks Polly, I am just finding my feet on here and learning gradually, what they had sent me was decent. Good to know they have been around a while and less likely to be doing it on purpose.
Oh cool I didn't know you could do that, I'll know for next time if it happens thank you.

If you're not into big pharma, you could try Wim Hof breathwork.
1.It doesnt take long to do.
2.Good for inflammation i.e injury/trauma in the body
3. Will get you buzzing.. High on your own supply
Wim is an extraordinary athlete who has many Gunness World records.
He once ran a half marathon in the artic circle in a pair of shorts,
He got frostbite in his toe,
Docs wanted to chop it off,
Wim worked his magic and still has his toe.
I've been doing his breathwork and cold shower method for just over a year now. I'm never turning back...
and I still have all my toes 🤣
also in the last year
No coughs or colds👌
No covid🖖
Almost no migraine 👍
No more hayfever✌️
It's free, everyone should try it.
Enjoy!

Must say the ice pack really helps tho, i put that on in the evening a go for a nap.👍

You can do the breathwork before you nap.
30 deep belly breaths in
Just let the breath fall out but not a full exhale
After the last exhale
Hold the breath for as long as possible (I have held for 3 minutes)
When you get the urge to breath
Breath in fully and hold, squeeze your abs gently for 10-15 secs and release
Boom...now you're on the way
3 rounds in total
You'll be flying..Trust me

Vendor told me to cancel dispute to get refund and weeks later still nothing
So original order placed nearly 6 weeks ago.
Was told he would reship and found out later he didn’t because I raised a dispute
Then told to cancel dispute or no refund would come. That was weeks ago still no refund or product
Was then told it was reshipped again not sure if I believe him anymore.
But since I cancelled the dispute I can’t re raise it again.
I have no product and no refund which I wouldn’t have cared too much about but for vendors lies on more than 1 occasion.
What to do now?
Other orders seem to be getting through no problem

Lesson here is that you don’t cancel a dispute until it is resolved!…so unless you have your product or you coin in your hand you are still in dispute!!
Escrow is mostly Algo driven now but that only works when we follow the rules. You can still contact transaxe via chat on their page, explain the situation and hope for the best. They are good people…👍

Why Decentralization is the 3rd Generation of the Internet
I think a key fallacy that arises is the argument that software is in layman's term a template and a mirror to human creativity; citing this as indication of its boundlessness should also be noted as an indication as to why centralization will ultimately occur. It's occurred in every other aspect of society where creativity maybe noted, what argument exists against that?
This. Very good point but I would argue its 2 way. Centralization and decentralization form a perfect loop. One inevitably leads to the other.
centralisation will occur but not ultimately, its a never ending, natural process of back and forth.
Im not totally convinced yet, with the other waves it was really clear what the value proposition was. Even Pets.com, the poster child for dotcom excess, had a purpose. Those excesses were mostly ahead of their time, the DAO token folks don't offer things that anyone wants or even understands.
To stick with the dotcom analogy most of these tokens are more like the old network infrastructure providers say Global Crossing or Level 3. They were over-funded and they overbuilt but the network they left us was very valuable. It will be the same for a lot of the software the dao funded crowd is building.

Scammed and been fed lies
Hey all I recently ordered from a vendor on here unbeknown to me at the time of ordering has bad rep as per people's opinions now I'm 20 days in and no delivery and the vendor keeps saying stupid things like I spoke to the post office and they said they couldn't deliver to your adress then saying it'll be sent Monday special delivery then saying they couldn't do special delivery to my adress ??? I am at a loss with him now he is.beyond a joke I am not the only one either having the same problem I just want my bitcoin back now it's ruined two weekends for me now as I made plans around having that order it's the worst experience I've had so far with LB .
If you've tried to work it out with the vendor but you're getting no luck then I'd raise a dispute. They can still resolve this issue for you and you can still cancel the dispute after it's raised, if appropriate.
Can I ask who the vendor is? Hope you get it sorted

The same vendor.... give to me the traking code that i received from an another shop 5 days before.... bad situation....👎🤬....my first order....
Mate, if you are in UK and want some decent hash (that's all I touch), give Budboysuk a look. They have always had good bits in and 20+ orders in have never let me down. Everything is sent signed for. 100 percent reship guarantee (which I've never had to use) and the prices are fair. Good luck with getting your cash back. This happened to me once from a shitty vendor.... Was down 300 quid! Escrow should help you out.

So far I have had 3 packages go missing in 2 weeks. Spoke to 2 other friends in different locations that have also lost packages in the last 2 weeks. All together its 4 different vendors and 3 different locations all missing.. Including the reships. Literally no packages have arrived.
Simply cant afford to throw anymore money at little biggy. I believe the site has been compromised.

I have noticed this, I’ve been using certain vendors for 2 years and never had problems but I’ve now had 3 missing or undelivered packages this year? I’ve always got a full refund though so wasn’t to worried. I reckon sometimes some orders just don’t get sent for whatever reason?
I have no idea. Too many different vendors and different people for coincidence.. Maybe Royal Mail are that far behind.. Or a postal worker is pinching them.
I believe they were sent as I have regularly used these vendors.

just use the dispute button it gets your money back and helps the rest of us more than any other action
2/3 years in total of ordering now and have only had maybe 4 parcels not turn up all of which were rectified by the vendors. Who did you order from?

Extracter reports the cannabutter to be "Nice and clean".
I am more than happy with the results, I will be testing some coconut oil with him shortly.
Results:
1.26% THC which translates to 11.48mg per ml which is 172.18mg per 15ml tablespoon.
No synthetics or impurities were detected.

Items not sent first class
no, just dispute the order and you get much better than 50%

Items not sent first class
I think certain vendors are advertising weed really cheap but only offering first class post, so if it doesn’t arrive I am thinking did they really send the item because if you don’t receive it they can send 50%. So I am just saying be careful using first class post.
Always good to give safety advice :) but think it all depends on which vendor.. I know DIUK offer very good deals! but Ive never had a worry that they are trying to scam anyone? They are a huge/trusted vendor on here with with loads of sales and regular customers...
The thing is, we are all human-ish. lol. so mistakes can be made from time to time.. Especially if your doing hundreds of orders, as eventually one of them will go walk abouts in the postal system..
So if this happens to a decent vendor they end up having a lot of shit thrown their way... Problem is there is still the odd idiot out there who pops up every now and then and tries a little scam...
Obviously I have no inner circle knowledge of who is scamming who etc... but i know from personal experience that not all Vendors who send 1st class are scammers!!
Just my 2p :)

I know they are not all scammers I use a vendor who uses first class and if it doesn’t arrive they send 100% Special delivery
Yeah sorry dude, didn’t mean to aim that last but at you.. It was a long post so probably got distracted half way… then got high…. then rambled on and finished it on a point that you didn’t actually say 😂 ✌️ 💚
Your ok I am not very good at putting what I mean in to words anyway, and I wasn’t bitting 🤣🤣 😎💚
You could always ask for proof of receipt which we've supplied many times before.

Removing problem Referral Codes
Ongoing issue.
Embedded sharing code is invalid, prevents signup, does not link to an account I control.
Cannot delete.
Cannot 'remove'.
Cannot overwrite.
Adding new token does not change the embedded code, even new products share the invalid code.
Transaxe 'it's working normally' screenshot shows it isn't.
Happy Borg referred me here - thanks for your efforts HB.

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

Testing the link with it's embedded token.
If I paste a good token in there, no error.

Just ordered with Dank, waited 3 days without order being sent. Im not that guy that worries about a day here or there, however when he replies to his messages he infers false hope. Must say its all bullshit, and after reading threads about this type of thing before with Dank, it appears to be a consistent trait. I dont usually post anything but despite a sweet looking menu you should at least message before you buy as to whether he can be bothered or not.
I'm now on day 10. He was fine when I ordered in Jan but feel like I'm getting skanked now. I did worry about Little Biggy and this just confirms it.
It's now been two weeks since I placed my order.
After making the post above, Dank promised I'd get my order ASAP. Two days later, only the shake arrived but no bud.
I had enough and disputed the missing bud. Only for Dank to get in touch immediately and say he sent my order in two separate packages. Guess what? 2nd package still hasn't arrived.
This experience reminds me of the sketchiest dudes. You know the kind -
Yeah mate. No worries. I'll meet you at 7
Really sorry mate. My guy was late. Can we make it 10?
What? Oh yeah, sorry mate. Can't do tonight. I'm about tomorrow though...
Ah sorry man, not today. I meant the other tomorrow...
No ablo inglais....
Look, just be honest. If you're going to be delayed, just say. Be upfront and there are no issues.
Unfortunately, it's what I feared with buying online

can you short nft's?
basically a form of patronage like a name on a museum wall
+ 2 more
can you short nft's?
paying millions for a 1990s graphic can not hold through any economic downturn. i want in
You could short the market with a portfolio of nft's but otherwise I can't see how. NFTs are unique, so selling something you don't own is difficult.
bitcoin's scarcity is a mathematical function and existential to the currency. unlimited bitcoins and we all have nothing.
unlimited potential reproductions of a media file and you have a resource that is more beneficial to everyone .

yes, many coins/tokens are representative of the nft market at large especially those of exchanges and tool providers of nfts.
