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.
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

How is firefighting such a fail?
It seems every fire season it's the same drill - oh my god this dry land is on fire > everyone evacuate while we gather every county employee and pay them overtime > let people die and property get destroyed > hail the heroes that ended this!

How Would You Save the Roman Empire?
I think they saved lots with Constantinople and Christianity. We still use a lot of their language today and even arts, law and engineering.
I've always wondered about a time line where as Christians they see the immorality of slavery and we wind up with an industrial revolution a thousand years earlier :)
The barbarians might have finished them off but the Romans did it to themselves. Extraordinary powers given to an Augustus wind up producing a Caligula.

What is the best Science Fiction Anime Series?
Cowboy Bebop is amazing, beautifully written, drawn, and directed. Don't be turned off by the 1st episode which isn't very sci fi and more like film …
Cowboy Bebop is amazing, beautifully written, drawn, and directed. Don't be turned off by the 1st episode which isn't very sci fi and more like film noir cliche stuff. The future world unfolds over the episodes along with the back story of how it evolved though another great thing is each episode stands independently.
There is supposed to be a live action movie coming out at some point in the future. I thought there would be a third season but l guess l am wrong.
Steins gate is class. Time travel sci fi. Bit of a slow burner but get past the first two episodes it’s quality on Netflix as well.
Steins;Gate is brilliant. Some unique characterisations and a great, but inevitably confusing, take on the time travel concept with a ton of real world references and conspiracies. Solid choice. However, I highly recommend this viewing order: Steins;Gate episodes 01-22 then episode 23β (alternate version of 23), Steins;Gate 0 episodes 01-23 (you can watch somewhere online or on Crunchyroll) then original Steins;Gate series episodes 23-24. Sounds confusing lol but honestly this is the best way to experience the story.
Don’t know if this is a mad suggestion or if literally everybody has seen it. But the Animatrix ?
9 (I think) half an hour animated films set within The Matrix universe. All are interesting and well animated, but a few are stellar.
There’s one created by Shinichiro Watanabe, of cowboy beebop and samurai champloo (my personal favourite).
If you haven’t seen it, buy the dvd and watch it; if you have seen it, back me up!
Peace

back that matrix up, it's awesome.

Terraformars (テラフォーマー, Terafōmā) are evolved humanoid cockroaches who live on Mars. They possess physical traits and skills that greatly surpass those of normal humans. They also appear to be somewhat intelligent and have a natural hatred for humans; much like how humans hate cockroaches.

Finished kaiba the other night from this recommendation. Thought it was class, trippy as fuck.
I love the premise here with the mind-body interchange but its really hard for me to get past the drawing. It seems more like something out of Spain in the 1930s than Anime.
Was about to say this, superb Anime!!
Also, an oldie but a classic is "The guyver" bio booster armour!!!

not sure it qualifies as science fiction - but! try to watch it when high when high.
DOROHEDORO
i'd love to hear from you when you do.

i'd love to hear from you when you do.
Dorohedoro is fucking class. Watched the first season twice (high) then read the entire manga.
Deathnote was good, so was One Punch Man. Terror in Residence was really good too. And I quite liked Knights of Sidonia. Or just watch Akira and Ghost in the Shell and be done with it :)
Space dandy. Some really good episodes to watch stoned especially the first few.
Love death robots good shout.
Saiki k. Didn't watch stoned but really enjoyed it, might give it another look myself.
Non SciFi recommendation would be Kakegurui, if you haven't watched it watch it stoned it's really good. It's about gambling and girls that leak a lot of fluid.
Also 'close enough' is quite good to watch stoned from the makers of the regular show but for adults.
All should be on Netflix.

Thanks for the tip. It should be cool just based on the fact that he did Samurai Jack. And Ive found out a movie version was made and even submitted to oscars (fck oscars tho!).. Nice!!
Cowboy Bebop. No qualifying statement required. It's a timeless classic. I wish I could see it for the first time again
Sci fi anime faves:
Noein (short series based on quantum physics theory),
Gintama (comedy anime partly set in space),
Ergo proxy (short dystopian series in futuristic world),
Inuyashiki (Old man becomes a weaponized cyborg and you follow his story),
Parasyte (High school kid gets infected by an alien parasyte),
And last but not least!
Psycho pass, it has 3 seasons and about 5 movies on the same world. A world which is monitored by an expert crime a.i. program, people get a hue which shows how likely to commit crime you will be, it's hard to explain but definitely my favourite sci fi series for a while.

Castlevania on Netflix is awesome! Not really sci-fi but the art style is great and a nice spin on an old tale. I binge watched 3 seasons in like 3days lol

My experience on LittleBiggy
this bigga
My experience on LittleBiggy
When I first found this site, it was the topics and posts I read from other users that convinced me to take the plunge. So if your a new user lurking around, trying to decide to take the gamble on this strange looking website I hope my experience will help convince you to hit the buy button.
I first found the site in December and have placed 5 orders with 5 different vendors, 4 of of them have been top notch, and even the one that didn't work out was still a great experience (more on that later). The vendors I've used and can 100% recommend:
NextDayWeedUk
GodsConnect
TheGreenTeam
DrugsInc
I did unfortunately get caught up in the entire Shrekage ordeal, where this vendor seems to have mysteriously vanished after taking my money and receiving nothing. However this let me try the escrow system, which after all is the back bone of little biggy that is suppose to give buyers even more confidence. I was actually expecting nothing to come of it, as I didn't have many buys and therefore not much reputation. However I raised my problem with them, and without even raising a dispute they refunded my money in full with no hassle what so ever. I think I've been unlucky to get burned by a vendor with so few purchases, but even when things go wrong (which seems rare) the system in place absolutely works and you can buy with full confidence.
Disclaimer, this is just my experience so far and other people may have different experiences, but I 100% recommend Little Biggy.

This is a great hassle free place, and one that’s rare to find these days that is distinctly lacking in massive arseholes.
With decent folk and an understanding that we have a good thing going. So let’s not fuck it up and lose it. Let’s treat it with love, respect and kindness and we’ll all be cool!

As a noobie I can’t decide if I’m fekkin’ unlucky or not. The weed that I have got has rocked my world (smoggyman is my God!) but 3 of my 6 orders have gone South- two sellers just fucking off completely including one that is super highly rated (following everybody telling me as a noobie only to use super highly rated!!). Well, fuck my luck, but a big up to Smoggy & Escrow Suisse and I ain’t going anywhere else!! xxxx
I think everyone lingers a while before buying! What a nice post to reassure people <3
I've only ordered one product so far, and I gotta say its been really positive.
Im more used to using Empire, but ive been using this site so far to buy Edibles, and tbh i prefer this system for buying weed.
Only feedback is browsing items is quite hard, maybe add a search or filter?

Someone else mentioned just googling little biggy and then whatever you’re searching for. It works.
This would have made me take the plunge a lot faster if I had read it a few months ago, thanks for writing.
I personally discovered this site 4 days ago by complete accident. The variety of flower, concentrates and edibles are just unbelievable. I'm now 5 orders in - 4 of them delivered next day and hopefully the 5th to be delivered today. I've been surprised at how great a community this is! My only criticism of LB is the pricing on the flower seems to be crazy, in some case double the cost of local flower. And also to a lesser extent the fact that finding sellers is difficult if their listings aren't on the item page and their store isn't in vikosh's weekly list.
But all in all 9/10 from me for LB!
But all in all 9/10 from me for LB!
My experience in LB is very positive to. I've ordered 6 times from RadarBreeder and now, because RB run out of Dust&Shake, I ordered from God'sConnect and GreenTeam and I'm still waiting for it. It's good to hear that escrow works. Till now, everything worked OK for me, so I never used it.
The only thing that worries me, in terms of security, is the fact that I discovered this site by myself with a simple Google search. I don't remember exactly how I did it, but I did.
So, now, I use a VPN and encrypt all my data but, I'm always wondering if it is enough and I am always thinking that, someday, this site will be shut down by the FBI or something else :)) This is to good to be true :))

Radar Breeder has the shake back in stock as of tonight! Glad your having a good experience so far too :)
I am wondering if disputing an order is reasonable if the vendor dispatched the wrong product and wont sort it out? This has happened to me twice recently and I am a bit sick of it. Both vendors are highly rated and I have contacted them, but they just say "oh yeah, its a different batch" or "well, it says the right product on the packaging, so must be right". Not sure disputing with Escrow is fair as something was shipped to me, it just wasnt what I ordered (and is of much lower quality). The thing is, when you find a good product from a reputable vendor, who dispatches you a nice product the first time, then you order more, (of the same product) when that package arrives with something totally different inside, what should you do? Don't wanna piss anyone off, but dont really just want to let it slide... Thoughts? Cheers
Hey man thats a tricky one. I personally would only dispute if absolutely nothing showed up and in your situation reflect your disappointment in the review/rating and avoid the vendor in the future if it keeps happening. The review would help others see if there is a pattern to the vendor sending lower quality flower on repeat orders and help others make more informed choices.
I have been mulling over the reasons why I will dispute an order in the future - a) product dont arrive, b) product is shit, c) vendor wont offer a refund, d) the vendor will only do a partial reship, e) if vendor says the product is clean and then you find it is black ash bullshit.
I have come to this conclusion as JJ has just done me for £100. He offered no resolution and TBH I am the one left with wank, trichome free, flavourless weed. Never again will I order from JJ, but products that are recieved that a way below the advertised standard will be disputed. I think this is one way buyer have recourse and vendors should appreciate that we are spending our hard earned in good faith. If that faith is compromised, then why the hell should they get to keep out money?!

I was pointed in LBs direction by a friend and LB community member so I could enjoy a more civilised approach to getting some decent flower! Completely new to BC etc but got my head around that and spent time ‘lingering’ and checking reviews etc...always with a little paranoid “it can’t be that straight forward” voice in my head.
Have made a handful of purchases and got to say it’s all been a pleasant experience...shit happens and I’m sure I’ll have a few hurdles at some point in future but you take the rough with the smooth.....just pleased to say it’s mostly smooth for me so far. RB, TGT, TGD not put a foot wrong in my book.
Take time to read the advice from the LB community and reviews to give yourself the best chance of a satisfying experience.
Have a great week all!

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

My friends and I have ordered from Hootan and nothing but good results. That's good to leave a review like that so people know what to expect. If you can vouch for, or against, that will help little biggas. I believe you mean AnAmericanInParis just to clarify.....sellers may get butt hurt however reputation is everything
Yes I meant anamericaninparis for the french one...

Wouldn't be going near An American in Paris, have a look at the reviews. One review in the past year saying they got something the rest saying they were refunded.
Swiss is on here a year and has 4 sales.. I wouldn't be risking myself.
Suisse and Bob only new so can't really say. Reviews seem good for new vendors.
Hootan one of the top vendors on here.

I was disappointed by the article, there seems to be no awareness of distributed systems of governance like bitcoin.
Modern nations are basically about providing a trustworthy authority to govern commerce. Some countries like Singapore are especially good at this while others are left to shake downs like protectionism and arms manufacture under the constant threat of war.
Decentralised systems with no-trust elements (like bitcoin) or a reputation systems (like the one here) are the most logical apparent alternative to existing government.

I don't understand the premise of a nation, when they say a nation competes what does that mean? Is there some kind of contest like the olympics? Who are the contestants representing each country? Who are the judges etc, it's all bullshit trying to describe after the fact people just going about their own lives. Who wakes up in the morning saying I'm representing say Chile today, and I'm going to beat those fuckers in Lithuania?
Sure it's what the nation's call "cyberspace" and they aren't going to allow it to be an "alternative" if they have anything to do with it.

Aging is Reversible
Epigenetic reprogramming is proving to be the most fundamental aging switch around.
Also some other noteworthy switches here:
He says they currently think the brain’s hypothalamus—known as the seat of control for hormones, body temperature, mood, hunger and circadian rhythms—may also act as a regulator of aging.
Other approaches that have been discovered to have anti-aging benefits in animals include calorie restriction, the drug rapamycin and parabiosis—the practice of giving old mice a blood supply from younger ones. The fact that these diverse strategies all seem to work suggests there may be more than one way to age, and that multiple complementary therapies may be needed to significantly extend longevity,

'Parabiosis' - also known as vampire facials in Hollywood. Yes that's right, Kim Kardashian has aborted fetus blood rubbed on her face. This is common practice. Loreal also a whole range of more expensive products with this in it. Also 'Blood boys' are a profession. This is a rabbit hole you don't want to go down as usually the source of this blood is disturbing.
yes very creepy when money is traded for life itself but it seems an ethical market is possible as healthy people have a surplus and all the means for extraction and testing are really well established.

Understanding Transaxe Referrals...?
when my referrals got bigger i got bumped up to 4%
Understanding Transaxe Referrals...?
Hey Biggaz!
Quick question for you. If i have transaxe referrals accumulating, does that mean I get a % of all of those peoples spends for FIVE years?? Just off the one referral??
This is how i have Understood it to work...but would like confirmation.
Thanks! <3

You get 1% of the transaction for ever sale made through the links you share. If someone signs up with your referral code, you get 1% of every purchase they make for 3 (I thought it was 3?) years.
Ok, but in case of a referral (except if it is your own), the fee for vendors is automatically 5 % higher. If I understand it correctly.

The Unsettling Rise of the Urban Narc App
Point click and rat. Does anyone think this is a good thing?
This reminds me of the Chinese Social Credit Score system. Very bad precedent for society at large. This might be happening in SF, just because everyone there is trying to cook up every conceivable concept for an app in order to turn a buck.
there are a lot of people that are hardwired for this, i guess we need them but i think id rather be in front of the camera in this medium
Yeah fuck that people are just trying to get on with life
As long as you aren’t an absolute cunt then I don’t care lol

Maybe if I were living near in a very high crime but even then it would get corrupted real fast and be used in scary ways.
from a prankster perspective? hell yeah it's a good thing. you can freak out an entire neighborhood w an alien costume whenever you get bored.
Police/govt are so fckeng able that they have to spend OUR millions on programs so that we turn on each other and do a bit of snitching on ones neighbor or even a family memeber, some random strangers ...
I can tell you one thing, no one asked me for permission or have I signed anywhere for this to be done to us and funded by us. So its been done against my fckeng will, probably against yours too

The blockchain has lost 1/2 its capacity as “Xinjiang is facing a major power outage due to a coal mine explosion”
Thanks for the link, I saw the record fee spike and thought there must be some issue, it's still climbing vertically. They need to burn more coal! 8-((
The CO2 cost of BC is humungous... please LB Gods make some other crypto available for payments!

I second that!!
ETH, Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin would be very easy to implement. And would mitigate the risk associated with putting all the eggs in a single basket :)

No more purchases for me with btc, not until a sensible payment option is available. :((

Help with Bitcoin please.
Weekends are way less busy on the BTC network, lower fees, faster times.

I am having problems with Bitpanda as I see a lot of other people are as well with the huge fees and minimum transaction amount of 0.0015BC.
I have had enough of waiting for this to change. Could someone point me in the direction of a new site like this one but with less restrictions please? I do not want any off-line wallet because I do not understand these at all. Please keep it simple.
Thank you in advance!

I used Bitpanda last night (Sunday) and the fees were just £2.49. Yes the min. spend is 0.0015, but my 1/8th of quality weed + NDD came to exactly that(!). I switched to Bitpanda from Crypto.com where the min. spend is twice that amount and the fees are fixed at 0.0004 or currently c.£17. And don’t get me started on Crypterium!
I think the exchanges are all as bad as one another, and you just have to pick your transaction time. I’ve seen Edge recommended on here but the Trustpilot reviews are terrible...

Rank The Dead Rappers
sad to add DMX here
Solid list but I’d put Pac above Biggy. East vs West and preference aside, lyrically-speaking, I think 2pac is notch above Big.
tupac had the charisma of a rock star and gravitas of a rebel leader. a great story teller but not as great as mr wallace i think and puffys beats are more consistent than the work of tupac's producers.
Yeah. And anything that Puffy “produced” was made by someone else. Don’t get me wrong, puff daddy was a producer but only in the sense he brought the ingredients together... the ingredients being MCs and producers. The majority of stuff that came out on BadBoy records was produced by The Hitmen (featuring legendary producer Easy Mo Bee) of which he did head up but as more of an organiser than anything else.
Gotta love the one douchebag (Itche) who downvotes but adds absolutely nothing to the discussion. If you’re going to downvote (a comment of personal opinion of all things), at least add to the discussion by posting your own opinion why you disagree.
I don't think downvoting a post when you're too busy to reply makes you a douchebag. Ease up a bit man, a downvote is hardly a slap in the chops now is it? Spark an L and chill.
As for reasoning it's quite simple. Biggie is respected far more widely as a lyricist than Pac. That doesn't mean you can't enjoy Tupac more than Biggie or anyone else for that matter. Music is subjective and what appeals to one person may not to another. That's the beauty of it!
I find the list above massively lacking anyway and it blows my mind that Pac and Biggie get almost singled out as the greatest dead rappers. As Nowherematt mentions bellow there's not even a mention of MF DOOM at all or....
Big Pun, Prodigy, Phife, GURU (?!), Sean Price, Dilla, Heavy D, Adam Yauch.
The influence the guys above had on hip hop is absolutely insane.
Yours sincerely

Our page has no last active marker apparently
I am guessing its whether or not you have items for sale. Unless your selling its nobody else's business when you were last online.

Does anyone know why or can anyone clarify a customer has told us that our page doesn't inform anyone if we are online today or last active?
When we are logged in it shows as active today but when we log out and view our page anonymously it is like we have been told it is just blank no last active activity, we don't know know if this is not visible for everyone or just a select few, it might be a setting we are unaware of or maybe a glitch but we are online at multiple times throughout the day even when we are waiting on stock we actively come online to reply to messages.

Thanks for all the comments guys we have messaged LB to ask about it,
It seems its available for some and not for others we will just have to ensure we are twice as active online :)
Thanks again guys for all the quick responses and help ♡

RE: is there a cheaper way?
Coincorner is not hard to beat on price, btcbit and coinabase to name 2.
RE: is there a cheaper way?
Hi guys,
So I’m new to LB and bitcoin so sorry if I sound like an idiot.. Made a purchase for $69 (roughly £57). I completed the whole transaction through CoinCorner meaning I deposited £ money into it, bought the bitcoin and then transferred it to the vendor all through the one app. My issue is that with all the fees I ended up paying about £72 (about £15 In fees it seems). Is there something I’m doing wrong and is there a cheaper method? I’d appreciate any advice. Many thanks

Thanks for getting back to me mate. Isn’t there an issue with coinbase and transferring directly to vendors? Should/Do you need to transfer to your own wallet first? If so, is there a wallet you recommend? Many thanks
Thanks for the reply but I think there is an issue with coinbase banning people for doing transactions directly from them. I’ve seen this mentioned a few times in the threads below.
Coinbase user, never had an issue. Did have to re-submit info recently but no worse than any other banking app.
