Becoming to confident in our ability to defeat any enemy and to greedy to understand our limitations.

Celebrity chefs!

on that note, bolemia

Complacency

Excessive money printing & Hedonism

War is the biggest business

i think so but wars are getting more like tv spectacles now, orders of magnitude fewer deaths

A thug is going to shake you down the easiest way he can find but the game always stays the same: You NEED our protection.

decadence, debauchery and depravity.

definitely dude

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

That’s a human theme, not a nationalist theme btw:)

Too many to list, especially if by "we" you mean the US.

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!

Same shit is what to do with all the soldiers. They start calling all the shots and you've got a society that depends on conflict. Once there is no one real left to fight with the barbarians that you colonized are elevated into serious rivals.

Pizza

Yes, Pizza, pizza

Yeah but this time there's anchovies

This time it's personal pizza

A safe and honest environment, to scope out and ask all the relevant questions you need to before purchasing your desired product.

yehh

“Decades of research have taught us that these algorithms constantly surprise us and outwit us so it’s completely hubristic to think that we will know the outcome of these processes, especially as they become more powerful and open-ended.”

A possible test for our humanity and a platform for us to transcend to the next level.

Feels like a place where one only enters once they've reached the level required to become enlightened.

this bigga passed the test

items, topics, people

topics, people, items help

A site that would rather ask you what is is than tell you!

Here is an interview with the founding father

It's an interesting governance system, taxes are voluntary but the more you pay the more votes you get.

So a perfectly corrupt society then

That's the thang, it's not corruption it's straight up.

Replace votes with campaign contributions and you are describing the united states.

“If you have enough collateral to pay for the damage that you have created, you might not even go to jail because the people that you have hurt could be compensated from your collateral,”

Replace "Pay for the damage you have created" with "Pay your lawyers" and you are describing the United States. :)

still at it, now they have a coin

Sorry but we Europeans just don't get it. Instead of doing anything with their "liberties" the 1st thing they do is form a bureaucracy.

Without bureaucracy they won't have anything to wine about.

Hahahaha, I’d rather just eat and sleep, maybe have a can of Coke personally.

Bit panda changelily paxful etc they demand ID even to buy bitcoin now I tried on all of them but you have to verify with passport,or drivers license now even for small amounts,and I don't have either..not everyone does.
Its more controlled and regulated than people think it is you didnt need ID to buy it at first..not long now and it will be part of online banking through the main banks.

I literally have..I already said why,none of the exchange sites let you buy it anymore without ID..its alright if you have it on you but I dont and youre susceptable to scammers too if you go through dodgy sites or others...I used to buy off here every week until coincorner blocked my account.

na mate.find a bitcoin atm.download mycelium app for your phone I had the same problem.they will show you what to do to get the bitcoin on your phone.

Where are bitcoin atms? I don't think I've seen one in my life tbh I'm thinking of growing my own

you know how we roll

Wow. Just when I think I've seen it all, this place goes and turns my world upside down.

I've ordered some crafted vapes from you guys (the green crack) about a week ago waiting for it to drop on my door step. That hasn't arrived and I'm already contemplating ordering the Muha Meds, they look epic, this patient needs patience.

Long live the west coast.

sorry for any delay! shipping asap!

Thank you. But you've mentioned in several post how busy you guys have been, so I figured, good things only come to those who wait.

thanks!

Medical grade ought to mean that every batch has the same, verified, potency like bedrocan for example. But mostly it's just a buzzword to lure buyers in, like any other advertising..

I think there is no actual rule or firm line between medical grade or commercial grade cannabis.

Medical grade normally refers to cannabis that is consumed to treat a condition or alleviate symptoms and is generally grown/produced by a registered, known producer. I guess for control purposes.

Many say it has to be organic or certain potency, but I think it just personal opinions.

If you don't know the vendor/grower/producer personally there is a high chance cannabis can be contaminated with anything ranging from pesticides, chemical fertilisers, etc., etc.

To me it is a touchy subject, as it totally depends on personal consciousness.

So, unless, I grow it myself, it is not medical grade to me. A gamble each time I purchase.

More to be grateful and thankful to those vendors in LB who are true to cannabis itself and cannabis culture.

It's bollocks like every other term. Reviews, ratings or reputation of the vendor are the terms that count.

It's not much of a moral responsibility, and it shouldn't be. People don't become these roles just to protect people from the government. It's rather inevitable that we'll never achieve full privacy.

Yeah it's an infinite loop of cat and mouse i reckon

It seems Tim Cook is taking it pretty seriously and I applaud him. Apple is in the position to help freedom in a way but no politician could ever accomplish because technology is the enabler of human progress.

I'm not so sure of this, technology is what allows all the surveillance to begin with. To take things to the extreme think of primitive people with no technology and the freedom to do whatever they want, put anything in their bodies, go wherever they please, etc.

Lol he says he would simply hand the phone to the NSA

This guy actually compares the situation to the moral responsibility of nuclear scientists in the 1940s. I think this isn't quite a parallel not so much because of the stakes but because he is asking people to go beyond their jobs and become activists where as the 1940s guys (including Einstein) were petitioning existing leaders.

Those 40s scientists were up against something inevitable so they could only stall things a bit, this lot can actually enable.

You don't think twats stealing people's data is inevitable?
