i just got a squirrel stoned
not kidding and this isn't a euphemism. i was in the garden vaping flower and a squirrel climbed halfway up a tree beside me. it stopped, twitched it's nose in my smoke and then began to wag it's tail! i swear we were bro-ing out and its eyes were starting to look glassy until my neighbor's lawn mower started up.

I'll never forget that Casper OG, i've been hopelessly trying to find those terps again but no luck, best strain i've tried in 17 years!
i remember buying a gram of it just to test, then the moment it arrived and i got a whiff of it i immediately ordered as much of it as i could afford which was only another 3.5g, and then a few days later the pope was gone for good : (

Pope was expensive (at the time) but it was man worth the price! Maybe another vendor can snag us some Casper OG! It’ll have to be damn good to match The Popes though right bro!? 😁
I second that 👍😻
Whilst I think Umme from Druids Magic was the finest home grown ever, if I could only take one single strain to a desert island for the rest of my days it would be Smoggy’s Mimosa.
I’m half tempted to do a pilgrimage to Portland to see if I can find it🥴
Whatever happened to Smoggyman? 😞

Ive had two off super hans which top the list for me. His pink cookies was absolute fire, absolute jetfuel, and the gelato 45, last christmas was so good, despite being $100 a henry, (a price i swore i’d never pay, i went back 3 times). That was absolutely exceptional.
there was a sativa that next day uk had way back when, it may not be my best strain since but it really stands out. i had only bought off the street before and i simply couldn't believe anything about the experience. a miracle!

Good afternoon all,
I've no doubt this will be taken down within five minutes but for the sake of the community I thought I'd try.
I'm an established account, nearly two years over 100 sales well over 100 buys.
1 settled dispute as a buyer
None as a seller
As you know my link no longer has interest in selling to me ( fine) so I braved another international seller and ordered 100g frozen.
To be frank I wasn't expecting much. Dodgy emails from the office, order marked sent on the day of order.
Waited 13 days, and received a package through the post. The package contained an old french book with the middle cut out and 3-4 grams of old ancient weed.
Opened a dispute. Had no interest in engaging with the seller as they are just clearly straight up conmen.
Order auto settled, I received initially what I thought was a full refund. On later investigation, just a 10% refund.
The seller is newish to biggy and has just ten sells.
I contact auto settlement dickhead, to ask as I genuinely thought it was a clerical error.
I was told that I have "26" times the average number of disputes which is crazy.
So the settlement algo decides a new account with 10 sells gets to rip people off for 700 dollars, Vs an old established account with over 200 direct user purchases or interactions.
I messaged the auto Borg as genuinely thought it was a.maitake to be told they think that's reasonable.
I've paid thousands in escrow fees, both ways and the one time I need the system to protect me it utterly let me down.
I'm writing this as warning really. A once loved site allows a protocol for new accounts to rip people off.
It has to stop.
I don't for a second think the buggy team might reach out, I'm posting this as a genuine warning to all.
Sadly, after two years and hundreds of interactions I'll be closing the account next week.
I've loved it, it's been a blast and hopefully the eco system improves for those remaining behind.
Adiós !
Peace and love
Babbstar

Name and shame laddy it's the only way to avoid this happening again to another bigga
Really sorry to see you go. Like others, I'd been on the fence waiting to order from you but it seems the moment has passed 😔
I'll be messaging the borgs about it. Suggest others who feel the same also do so.
We must protect our good vendors! Your reputation exceeds you and I want to experience it!

Honestly they've been quite good as of recent with cleanup and that. I guess it's a different interaction but worth a punt
I'd also post on the vendor's page who screwed you. Getting his face plastered on the wall will probably get you more engagement from the borgs

I started a topic. Feel free to get involved and add proof.
We can still salvage this brother. Don't give up the good fight

I am making this post to clarify the situation. Babbstar1 created this topic to accuse me of scamming, bringing in his friends and a small community, most of whom have never even ordered from me, just to attack my reputation.
Let's set the facts straight: he has been 100% fully refunded, yet he continues to complain while I am actively working with the platform to resolve the issue. I have successfully shipped multiple orders before this with zero issues. This is the very first time a problem has occurred, and it’s obvious you are all trying to destroy a new shop over one single dispute. Before him, a customer had a package stolen; I followed my store policy, reshipped 50% of it, and there was absolutely no issue.
Now, you are trying to pressure me by dragging in complete strangers who have never done business with me. This is incredibly petty and low on Babbstar1's part. If any of you actually cared about the truth, you would check the reviews left by real customers.
I am being insulted all over this platform, and I haven't responded until now because I choose to remain professional. To those threatening me: I invite you to come to France. :) I would be more than happy to give you the welcome you deserve.
This little conspiracy set up by Babbstar1 is completely stupid because I am already in contact with the platform support to send them all my proof. :) I am just an intermediary handling multiple operations, which is my job. But to anyone thinking they can threaten me and ruin my shop's reputation: don't worry, I have plenty of moves left to play, and I am not running this alone. ;)
Do your research, guys. I am nobody, just a worker.
On that note, good luck to you all. The shop will be reopening very soon. I am managing operations elsewhere too, I don't just rely on LB.
Best regards,
Dutch Cartel Farm <3

All the best Babb, I enjoyed our baked interactions!
That is truly shit, 100% should have gone in your favour, no reason whatsoever why not.
Take care bro

Not going to lie, this is the first I'm hearing that a vendor has won the majority of a dispute.
i lose all of mine 100%, even in times where ive reshipped the package and the buyer hasnt closed the dispute.
The site hasnt been the same since after covid and i often feel like throwing the towel in too.

something has clearly gone wrong when two of the highest-rated vendors on the site feel so unsupported that they're contemplating leaving.
oh and are you ever gonna sell UK-UK again?

I don't know if I should like the post because it's very sad. Being burned by $700 is, in some EU countries, a monthly salary for the whole family and housing. I'm sorry what happened to you... Could you please write to us who robbed you of the $700 so that the rest of us can be careful?
Yea, now i know. That person already set new shop here. Messaged me a few days back if i want to try intro since im EU... Thank god im sticking only to TNC here... Hope you somehow get your money back!
Kudzu and LiliShop are both womens, both offered Sultan, Tiramisu and Stacy Dash 120u, also on another EU market s1t3s.... There is no chance 2 womens from France offering same products on same places with same pictures... Im kind of lurking in free time what are in the offers in countries around me.... 😃

Do the right thing!
Babbstar and I have never met but we've exchanged thousands of euros with each other over the last few years. He is as real as they come, he's taken thousands of euros of product from me without paying me upfront and he's always come through. We have never even met eachother! Do the right thing and return his money back and be someone of honour in this shitty world already filled with people that are trying to fuck you.

Facts ?
Just the fact you come out and lie about the refund and close your shop says it all.

feel really sad reading this.
i've never got around to ordering from you, but you always made an impression as a vendor with great integrity. it's a shame that TGS aren't in a position to sell to you anymore (and i don't really want to buy from them as they're only shipping from Spain these days).
your experience with this other vendor sucks, and your experience of disputing through LB is truly shameful. perhaps there is more to it, 2 sides to every story etc, but based on what you're describing it's difficult to understand why the borgs didn't rule in your favour. you have a stellar rep on this site, statistically, so the whole thing feels baffling.
i'm really sorry for you, and that this situation has understandably caused you to lose all faith in LB as a platform. you'll be missed, for sure.
i really hope this post triggers a review by the borgs and they fix this for you, but i would understand if that horse has bolted.
take care out there :-)

Thank brother.
I mean look I'm sure there are two sides, but I didn't answer unboxing video because the sale stunk from day one.
I should have known better but I genuinely thought the escrow service would allow me to order relatively risk free from a new vendor.
But here we are
I just wanted a decent smoke 🤣🤣🤣

I really hope this isn't the end of it babbstar, not personally ordered from you, but escrow is there to protect us, you've been massively let down, and hopefully with enough engagement the higher powers that be will see and help out 👌
tbh it looks like you are buying and selling on the same account (suss in itself) and trying to pick off new sellers. maybe not the case (not accusing at all!) but if an algo sees it this way take it as understandable and not really fodder for tantrums. you're gonna win some and lose some in this world with or without the help of tech, seems your ahead of the game overall because this place has kept a reasonably legit environment in a very difficult space.

Can you show proof that he has been 100% refunded please? You repeatedly insist that he has been.
Mate he needs to put up or shut up. Show proof that you've been 100% refunded as he insists you have or you haven't been and he's lying. Job done.

I'm in the middle of re-watching Spaced and felt like I had to scroll for hours to find somebody who finally mentioned it! xD
Thank you - you just reminded me I need to re-watch spaced again!
I was too old for it even back then, but the clever references still tickle me all these years later..

Ah fuck it, nothing better to do, haha
The Wire - best thing ever written. Slow burner due to complication of story, but it is relatable as the war on drugs does not have a start or end to it, and street dealing doesn't just start, therefore you are immediately immersed in the story without even realising. Only figured that out the second time watching it. Also some great visual metaphors throughout. Also note there is no cue music to instigate feelings. All music is from source, i.e. car radio, night club. Only cue music is when Avon enters the lowrisers for the first time
The Ozark - Although breaking bad is good, it's not worth the hype. This is the older cooler brother of breaking bad. Calculated and intense at times. Story is always moving forward with real character progression
Altered Carbon - Absolutely fantastic sci-fi with great visuals and a great story line. Really left me itching to read the book, and I'm not a sci-fi fan
Arrested Development - Intelligent comedy with so much layered jokes you can watch this five times and still find punch lines you never noticed before
People Just Do Nothing - Threw this on not expecting much which is perhaps why I found it to be so good. Off the wall characters made completely believable by the actors playing the parts. Excellent idea, excellent execution.
Peep Show - This is a classic, you need to watch this
Trailer Park Boys - Another classic everyone here should be able to relate to
Big Mouth - Great for a background watch, but really funny and does take you back to your teenage years at times, haha
Fargo - Beautiful cinematography, great story captured very close to the original film. Billy Bob absolutely shines in this role in season one
Life On Mars - Made in early naughties, but just as relevant as today
Dark Tourist - good short run of a different kind of travel show. The kind of travel I like too
The Wolves Of Yellowstone - Nature documentary that has a story line Walt Disney would be proud of. Really makes you realise the balance of nature
Utopia - Such an underrated British TV series
It's Always Sunny In Philidelphia - Great zany show about dysfunctional friends who live in their own world, and drink in their own pub causing all kinds of ridiculous antics
Homeland - Great series that will always have you wondering what, or who is next
The Killing - Only recommend the first seasons. It drags you along on the witch hunt convincing you you know the answer
Punisher - About time they stuck to the gritty comic. Refreshing that this i not aimed at kids and fattening wallets.
The End Of The Fucking World - Two out there teens who decide to adventure together with, maybe, disastrous consequences

Punisher - About time they stuck to the gritty comic. Refreshing that this i not aimed at kids and fattening wallets.
The End Of The Fucking World - Two out there teens who decide to adventure together with, maybe, disastrous consequences
Peep show one of my all time favs and can't to wrong with arrested development what a classic
Sad that they never manager to run the show normally... And probably we won't se another season ever :( love arrested development
Currently halfway through the first series of Altered Carbon after reading this thread and seeing your recommendation. I'm a PhilipKDick fan and I'm really enjoying it, cheers 👍
Oh my god its been years since I've watched utopia and now I'm all excited to dive into the twisted wacky world of 90's conspiracies that now seem quick mundane as they are basically happening now
Dark on Netflix. German show about time travel set in a village where kids keep going missing every 33 years. Stunning production values, really intricately plotted, three series, all ties together. Loved it. Has an English dub but the German audio with subtitles is best.
End of the fucking world is really good. Strange and offbeat which I like. With some characters that don’t give a fuck. And it’s British and very relatable (even though it’s about a lad that thinks he’s a psychopath haha).
100% but do you think you could watch them the other way round and it’s all still as good? As I really do, integrated them amazingly well.
Yeah I agree, I liked BB a lot but I came to it a bit late and like UKgrower hearing the hype maybe expected too much. Better call Saul I didn’t expect much of at all, didn’t think it’d get past Series 1 but now I think it’s better than BB.
If you enjoyed Breaking Bad, then give Better Call Saul a go. I always thought he stole every scene he was in during Breaking Bad.
Literally just finished watching brassic 2 and Save me Too. Both class. Surely everyone on here has watched Brassic.....!!!?
I do, doesn't quite hit the levels that Shameless did back in the day but still a lot of fun. Plus it's good to hear actual accents on TV instead of just American lol
I'm watching Detectorists at the moment. Really good. Funny and with beautiful scenery. On BBC iPlayer and Netflix.
Shout for detectorists.
Great theme tune btw.
Excellent characters.
Great series about the sackler family’s and there murderous medical misbehaviour ( painkiller )
Starring ferris bueller.

What would you say is the closest or better than queens gambit, i really enjoyed it and it was so different to anything i normally watch (drug/crime/violence) - I love that series so much.
Orphan black! one of my favourites.. the wire.. Russian doll..cynical,funny. end of the fucking world. Money heist.. prison break..cleverly written. Better call Saul if you enjoyed breaking bad.
Rick and Morty and weed is my favourite combination. Snoop dog’s talk show on YouTube is hilarious to watch as-well.
I find American horror story hilarious, but only when I’m high, otherwise it’s pretty terrifying lol.
Films : seven psychopaths is a must watch, requiem for a dream and pulp fiction, all time faves. and I did write a detailed review and much more but it was deleted :/

Yean Gomorrah is probably my number 1 show, the setting, actors, story... superb. Cant wait to watch the Ciro Di Marzio movie too.
L'Immortale or the Immortal is the name, was out last year in Italy. Have tried to find out when its out in the UK but no joy yet
Its on sky atlantic now mate, its certainly worth a watch an sets up the next season of Gomorrah nicely
If you like weird? Get baked & watch.

Respect for Garth Merenghi, everybody should see that.
On that note, throw Mighty Boosh into the mix as well.
Big Train to round off a trio of lesser-known, top quality British comedies.

Ifyou seen BB, definitely watch Better Call Saul.
Comedy? The Office US and then Parks n Recreation. Or maybe Shameless US? Little Britain it's always great company.
If you seen Broadwalk E, you probably have seen the sopranos. If not its a MUST! Ive been watching House of Cards and it's quite nice too.
Maybe 6 feet under, Weeds, Dexter, Chuck, My name it's Earl??
Cience? COSMOS!!! A mind blowing and mind opening cience series. Everyone should watch it before they die. Either the original and first with Carl Sagan (it might not have the best visual representations but Carl its Carl) or the new Neil Tyson.
In to some stand ups? George Carlin is a must, the young Carlin to the old political Carlin.
I would also like to give a shout out to my Spanish Fellows on THE Money Heist.

Yo UK Grower. I have just discovered Channel Zero on StarZplay, prime add on. It’s a really good horror series, twisted stuff, defo a bit freaky.
To any one who likes comedies don't be put off What We Do in the Shadows, it's vampires but it's not really a "vampire" type show.... it's really funny when high and the second series has just come out on iplayer.
If you're into Sci-fi I'd highly recommend Altered Carbon on Netflix. Really cool story and visuals. I seen somebody recommended Ozark, excellent as well. If you like animation and feel like a laugh give Rick and Morty a watch, The Midnight Gospel is also new to Netflix but really trippy / funny in my opinion. Happy watching!
Have you ever watched Travellers? (if you was a fan of stargate back in the day this will interest you) or if your a sci fi fan, Very good story telling and actors (Canadian)
i liked that a lot more than i thought i would. also, colony on netflix even though it was killed by covid and never finished.
I almost pissed myself with laughter watching the first episode as I watched the trailer but wasn't really for how out there this really is. A must watch for any sci fi and gaming fan or if you have a sick sense of humour like me :)
Stranger Things Season 1 - 80's themed sci-fi thriller with endearing characters that had me on the edge of my seat throughout.
True Detective Season 1 - Basically an 8 hour movie that oozes quality. Pacing/cinematography/acting/dialogue are all A++ for me.
Trailer Park Boys - Get baked, watch this, laugh your arse off.
Peep Show - Clever and hilarious.

Band of Brothers is a masterpiece, great shout! Any recommendations of war films/series that are similar mate?
Give 'The Pacific' a go. Its HBOs follow up to 'Band Of Brothers' set during the allied assault on the Pacific region during WW2
Trailer Park Boys should be perfect for everyone on here, given the enormous amount of smoking and growing throughout!
Since it hasn’t been mentioned here , it only proves how massively underrated Wilfred is . Had great laughs :) U.S. version of an Australian cult sitcom about a meek young man and a pot-smoking talking dog named Wilfred (actually actor Jason Gann in a dog suit, whom everyone else sees as just a dog). Won’t spoilt it anymore
Gotta be Trailer Park Boys
(still on Netflix atm)
The American office is a good
watch too with many eps

The Grand Tour is back as well for anyone in to that, done to death obviously but atleast it's something new to watch lol

If you liked Breaking Bad you might like Better Call Saul... it's slower but the writing and cinematography are actually better imo. Plus by S5 the pace is basically on BB levels.
The Boys or Doom patrol, quality shows right there & the wire If you didnt see it yet,too many to name mate but try them
Undone is good and trippy with the animation style it uses and pretty unique story to boot.
You (season 1). Solid watch but latest series was a waste of time.

Watching Yellowjackets at the moment, pretty good but if you watch the pilot episode don’t be put off as that’s a bit shit, it does get better!
Watched “From” before that, that was pretty good too…

New Alex Garland (Ex Machina) series on FX & Hulu in the states, not sure where in the UK. Totally brilliant, and the best cinematography I've seen on TV. Ran here in spring 2020 and I'm still thinking about it.

just call Saul was better than breaking bad in some ways (last series a bit disappointing tho). Always interested to see if people liked the Midnight Gospel (single series, animation, also Netflix).
The Sopranos, the Wire, The Americans (best ending), boss season 1, the Divide 2014 (hard to find but worth it), true detective 4, xfiles season 4.
I just rewatched 'The Lost Room'
It's a miniseries with 3 90min episodes and it only ever had one proper airing so nobody I've ever mentioned it to has seen it.
Definitely worth a watch though💜💚👊🏻

If no one has said it yet, Banshee. A pro thief / seriously tough guy played by Anthony Starr ( Homelander from the boys) rolls into town, assumes the identity of a recently deceased new Sheriff that no one has met yet. Boom, he's now the law in town and is actually very good at stopping crime. Insane realistic violence, Amish gangsters, bikers, native American mafia and lots more, best show I've ever seen

I'm surprised no one suggested Family Business (on Netflix). A great comedy series about a family in Paris who runs a Kosher butchers and end up producing vast amounts of Pastraweed!
Really funny, great actors and all around fun to watch.
A French Breaking Bad without all the stress in a way!

I never thought I'd see someone mention The Platform. Great film if you've got your stone on! Alice in Borderland is brilliant also it's like a mash-up of The Prisoner and Battle Royale.

The Man in the High Castle is loads of fun, especially if you’re a fan of PKD. Classic UK series that are great: Line of Duty, The Fall, Peep Show, Monty Python’s Flying Circus
Succession is better than you'd think. Punisher is the best out of all the Marvel shows, Daredevil is also very watchable (and Jessica Jones if you're into angry women with PTSD). Umbrella Academy is fun to watch. The Magicians ditto. Also The Boys.
One of my all-time favourites will always be Daria.
I just love that sassy, sarcastic, little oddball in her socially satire highschool world. Sometimes it hits close to home.
Hoops on Netflix is also worth one or two laughs.
Tuca & Berti is also the right amount of strange.
Our Planet is a great background noise, a lot of beautiful scenery overviews.
Not in Netflix, but how about the Kurzgesagt YouTube channel. It's funny, educational, soothing commentary,cute Art style a great variety of topics etc.

Loads of top shows already mentioned on this list so trying not to repeat(can't stand repeats). Didn't notice a mention for The Newsroom, absolutely brilliant with super slick dialogue, maybe stick to sativa for that one.
Also the classic stoner sit coms Top Buzzer starring a young Steven Graham and Ideal with Jonny Vegas, they will do for the indica night.
Once the hash and concentrates come out just put Taskmaster on it is the best thing c4 have done for a long time and requires zero brain power to enjoy perfect couch lock fodder

Fargo is probably the best series ever after GOT. Better Call Saul was brilliant too after a slow start. Better than Breaking Bad for me.
All the seasons are good and different stories so don't need to watch in order. All true apparently. The movie's a bit dated now but a great watch too.
Murder Mountain on Netflix. An oldie but a goodie. All about the emerald triangle in California and how it moved from illegal weed growing into legalisation and the lawless nature of the industry.
New British comedy horror on prime with Simon Pegg and nick frost, only a short one but was enjoyable, there’s this once scene when nick frost thinks he is about to get shanked and it’s hilarious.
It’s called Truth Seekers

Is the Internet Making Freedom Impossible?
Nearly your entire life is controlled by the tech oligarchs. Everything we read, watch, buy, and eat is provided by them. And that's for those of us that don't also work for them.
They in turn are bullied by massively armed governments willing to steal or harm anyone that doesn't pay protection money.
We are surrounded by exploiters that also happen to own the network. And our best and brightest built it for them.
I'm really looking forward to ai doing the same thing to them.

If the sheep woke up all the parasite world leaders would be fucked , I’m hoping the internet in the end will help expose the darkness we live under & help the 2million + children who go missing every year to enslavement & blood harvesting .

I think it's impossible already , i think free internet was from the 80s towards 2000's post that it changed , we said nothing , we like the conveniences and now we cry all our info is everywhere , what's done is done and now we have to live with the consequences to be honest , unless a new Network internet type comes along that we can access with 0 censorship( we have TOR , but Onion Links not sustainable).
Right now even having a normal social media account is a hinderance , the world is so brainwashed that you cannot have your own opinion, 50 dumbasses will jump on your comments to convince you to think like them.
We need a time travel machine , i miss Yahoo messenger , MIRC , msn ,Yahoo news .
The only good thing is now we are all connected so now it's time for all of us to be informed to be able to filter out the bullshit.

Depends how you define freedom.
We are by nature communal and social creatures.
We are constrained by the freedoms of others.
The illusion of hyper individualism and unrestrained libertarianism tells us that we can have unfettered personal freedom, economic freedom, even moral freedom.
But we can't and never could.
It's setting up a "prisoners dilemma" where the incentive is always to screw the other person over for your own freedoms. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoner%27s_dilemma

The only true freedom would be when the soul leaves this disposable shield, after all no one is truly free from the duties of this world, where you can of course opt out whenever you like.
The AI would only make their(big tech,gov,etc) job easy to control this world only to be control by AI later down the line like the tech was suppose to do for others.

If he did. and I suspect he did and am awaiting confirmation of this, then I am happy for him to have his freedom removed.
Frankly, I consider myself a victim of Tate for having to know who he is and for having listened to him talk.

use three words to describe little biggy
federation zooms borgs
My postman is obviously a stoner, just the way he carries the back all slung back on his shoulder gives it away but he also looks like Wayne (or Garth I can't remember which one is which). I keep thinking I should offer him a bowl of the good shit but he delivers so much weed to me I think I'd be putting him in a bad position.
Lol that's poss the best 3 words. Esp goin by the shit that appears in my area as "weed". And the wannabes selling it
You got me.
Relax in piece - RIP
Happily ever after.
Home sweet home.
Sunshine at night.
Just 3 words?!

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

Where are today’s protest singers?
Just listening to gill Scott herons first album ‘a new black poet’ , he still has the power to shock.who are today’s protest singers.
Is urban rap and hip hop, choose your genre, the new protest platform. Or is it just a mysoginist, homophobic, violent twisted reflection of city life from those excluded from the mainstream.
Is stormsy the new urban Dylan.?

IDLES are pretty spot on politically and that shows in their lyrics! ‘The only way to scare a Tory is to read and get rich’.
Don't want to start a war between them but... Dave > Stormzy :P
edit - don't know whats going on with lb but this post went wacky, anyway jokes aside Dave actually deserves a little shout in this. The live performance of Black was really invoking and things like Question Time and Children of the Internet will appeal to any stoned thinker haha :) - at least the UK scene isn't just kids dying on cough medicine after one youtube hit, wtf happened to America?!

You've got a lot to choose from in metal.
Check out some of the following:
Body Count: Black Hoodie
Body Count: No Lives Matter
Lamb of God: Poison Dream
Lamb of God: Now you've got something to die for
Dead Label: Dystopian Complex
Lock Horns: Blood and Oil
Gojira: Silvera
And I know this is basically a pisstake, but Dethklok Detharmonic in on point.

Bob Vylan are a great UK act not getting enough attention

This has one of the greatest lyrics lines of any song ever written imo
"No liberal lefty cunt
Is gonna tell me punching Nazis ain't the way"

I'd say for this definitely Run The Jewels. Akala is still about as well. Immortal technique is meant to be releasing a new album soon. I don't think we will see the likes of a band like RATM again for sometime
Left a RATM gig with cracked rib from the most hectic mosh pit I’ve ever known, mega fun. Second best mosh was the Pogues in 88.
I saw someone with there arm twisted the wrong way being carried out of a RATM set. Reading 96' I believe. Great set, terrifying moshpit.. Did it anyway though. Fun times.
I agree the power of the music to inform and protest is lost, but straight out of the gate, you have macklemore Hinds Hall (this came out of nowhere!). Whatever your position on the conflict (or the tune) it sums up what the issue is. Bands are commodities and businesses know they can be used to influence, so they invest heavily. And if you don't tow the line then your out!
Depends how you classify protest. I'd say Bruce Springsteen, Iris DeMent, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Tom Waits, at a pinch you could add Pulp though they're more against our modern way of life than against the way we are governed. I admit I'm not up to speed with "modern" music. I'm 70 for fuck's sake!
I forgot Public Enemy are still going strong.
I think they cornered the market in the American black protest field fighting fire with fire to show the other side of the American nightmare.

Protest the Hero + Show Me the Body are two bands that spring to mind. These are certainly not protest artists sonically, as they are both heavier guitar bands, but are both aggressively anti-establishment, discussing topics you won’t hear other artists sing about.
Unfortunately he grew up and joined new labour.
Saw him live at least dozen times, used to do loads of small gigs and protests. I was in socialist workers party and he was doing loads of fundraisers for the miners.

Just as much intolerance on the left as on the right. We live in a shallow social media driven world. In which we all eat consume far too much whilst slowly killing ourselves and the planet. Facebook, mcdonald's,nike etc. It's a shallow,plastic world and that's not a suitable environment for growing protest singers.
Sort of agree, unfortunately the mass media (particularly print media) are owned run by right wing, ie Sun, times, telegraph etc
The BBC, THe Guardian Newspaper, Channel 4, ITV to name a few left wing media outlets.
And for the BBC to be so biased is a disgrace just look at the stats over 14% LBGTQ within there workforce as opposed to 0.4% in most other organisations massively disproportionate.
Also the mainstream media seems to love to demonise the working classes.
The white indegoius male is despised by the main stream media especially the BBC.
All I do know is before all this WOKE nonsense started we had not been at this much level of war activity since the second World War and now look at all this mess.
Weak leftist policies have risked our safety and security to the point where I worry about my relatives safety in the UK and have also made us a target from forces that want to destroy us.
You need only look at who was the London mayor best mate at UNi for example ? None other than the leader of Albasha terror GROUP. and if that does not worry you to realise that if all this wokey business continues there won't be no western songs ti sing no more because they will be banned.
I remember the cold War, I remember living in the troubles and feeling and hearing the sounds of cemtex around me and going through the checkpoints. I talk from experience and no the real dangers that all this liberal far left nonsense brings as I have lived and breathed this shit before.

"The perceived partiality of the BBC comes from both sides of the political spectrum. Of the people in the YouGov survey who identified as supporting the Conservatives, 15% thought the BBC is generally a little more favourable towards the left and 23% thought they were much more favourable. Conversely, 26% of those who identified as supporting Labour thought the BBC is generally a little more favourable to the right and 20% thought they were much more favourable."

I blame the growing influence of the network - attentions turning inwards as the younger generation start living in the fantasy of the online world. I showed my teenage step daughter the matrix the other day thinking she'd love it - her response "why would anyone choose not to stay in the matrix"!
its a perfect substrate for protest. people have the means and motive.
that's why there is tons of it in rap, singing is as dead as springsteen.

what current artists will become classic?
good call
If the 2nd Wet Leg album is anywhere near as good as their debut, they'll be talked about and listened to for many years to come.
Such a refreshingly creative, fun and talented band. Awesome live too

No specific artist but I hope this original UK hip hop sound lives for ever. And who doesn't love a freddo
None, the current music industry is devoid of anything fresh or inspiring. There may be artists out there who could but they won’t cross over in the current sanitised music scene controlled by cooperate pigs who want artists they can fully control who will bend over for them and take it up the ringer…the 90s was the last great era of music, everything that came after just seems largely forgettable. Also the fact people now download music rather than go out and buy the albums, singles etc means we no longer really own the music and are less connected. People would rather spend their money on expensive coffees than pay for music that could inspire or change their lives. Technology, wokeism and greed has killed music and the artists of today….rant over…haha
Personal vote in terms of an artist is loyle carner. It's an actual crime the amount of people I ask who have no clue who he is! His new album just dropped as did tour dates 👀🔥

Slide through the fog, yeah I caught what you meant,
First five in the circle get a slice of the scent,
Henry on the line but I’m here for the craft,
Bare soul in the booth, put the truth in the draft,
Follow that trail? I’m already on route,
Got the village in my veins when I’m lettin’ this out,
No zip on the spit, let it rip, no cap,
Laser on the focus while I paint this rap,
Label talk slick, yeah I hear that call,
If the door stays open imma run through the wall,
Tick-tak flow with the Ronaldinho flair,
Gucci step glide but there’s mud in the air,
So I drop my vibe where the signal gets loud,
If it’s real, you’ll see — I ain’t hidin’ in the crowd.

Dropping bangers like the purple candy, until some mug gives it a 1 and gets Dopey angry.
He’s got some great bud and delivers it fast, just not for the biggas up other vendors arses.
If you don’t agree then don’t engage just no need for all the rage, against the guy for promoting his page.
Just don’t drop a 1 and run or he’ll open up a post calling you out son!

I was born ready for war thats the shit that I thrive in,
If i don't survive then you know ill die fighting,
So just listen to the wisdom that I speak, there's honour in death but there's no honour in defeat,
Thats why wether or not I got the bruvvas round me, its i or thee that will RIP,
And its this mentality I implement, and I follow my morals so there's no need to repent,
That means if you got it you deserved it, because your fuckin worthless,
Diminishing the earth, you ain't serving the earth's purpose,
Like all you blinded viewers who keep buying all the rumours,
Then you just wind up being used like computers,
And don't think I forgot about you rapists and groomers and child abusers,
I cut you filthy cunts like some human sized tumours,
Now I've said my piece you can see I'm mad as he'll,
But you all should be mad aswell.

Welcome to little biggy,
The place we get our smokes and some mix with ciggies,
And we've got postals to different cities,
But check reviews, dont get hit by something shitty.
Id rather smoke weed and some piatella,
Than spends my weeks fiending for a stella,
I want some buds of cheese proper stinky cheddar,
The type we smoked in '08 maybe even better.
Cos I love weed,
And some days weed loves me,
There's never a day she wants me to just leave,
Mary Jane's been my day one uck queen.
Mary got the Ethereal feel when I go in Raw,
Now im in my Element,
Hit it 3 times so my OCB isn't in deficit,
G-rollz them prerolled cones for the heck of it.
Meh, too early might add more later 🤣

can the USA be fixed?
in England we grew up loving American cowboy movies and the hero was always the same: quiet, cool and strong. to an outsider it seems this guy is dead and the cunt that owns the town and is always looking for more is the new America
Yes, if people like the ones at Emmanuel AME Church in Charleston become leaders.
there has been so much more killing since then and as beautiful as this inspiration is, its hard to imagine there is enough love anywhere to stop the mass murder that is part of regular life now
Nasa is the best ambassador the US has, if they took 1/3 of the military budget and put into space travel the US would be back like Jordan.
Space travel for what? Branson is going to operate consumer flights, but how many times can billionaires fly to ISS before they get bored? Not many people can afford $150k for a short vacation.
tourism will always remain in the back seat. the commercialization of space has been about serving the planet as a whole with communications, its brought up the un-cabled world just like mobile phones have brought up the last mile. there is huge potential in energy production and distribution coming next.
space travel for discovery, learning and inspiration. the world could really use a moment of peaceful triumph.
Branson has sold tickets for twenty years without delivering a ride not sure how he is relevant to anything here.
Elon Musk estimates 5-10 years to get to Mars. At present the cost is $1 Billion per ton, so it'd need to be 1/1000th of the cost, apparently. The ship will also need to be reusable.
Traveling Mars is also not a point and shoot mission. You have to coordinate launches with the alignment of the planets' orbits to travel the shortest distance and not fly past the sun. This also requires a stay on Mars as you wait for safe realignment after landing. Current technology estimates a 21 month round-trip given a ~3 month stay on Mars. Money is not the biggest hurdle.
go open source, add new states, virtual citizenship and most of all healthy competition with other nations not war
Competition in what? Our largest industries are healthcare and pharma. Getting Americans to change is a huge hurdle.
competition for new citizens, with decreasing population the game is going to change and the usa at least remembers how to play
outlaw political donations there's plenty of free coverage to get the pitches across anyway.
No, this country is cursed, theres a lot of bad karma waiting.
k-rino has a nice rap-recap on this

What if nothing needs to be fixed but this is an opportunity for us to see what we don’t want our world to be…duality …we cannot know the one without the other
Peter Breggin. MD, former psychiatrist who took on the APA when profit motive became greater than the hypocratic oath doctors take to "first, do no harm", became the conscience of Psychiatry. Later in life he has runs a radio show exposing those persons involved in the Globalization Movement that is quickly eroding the common person's civil rights and creating barriers to those who choose to leave a work culture where your boss becomes your God and if you are lucky, you may receive paltry insurance and limited sick leave....the US is a nation of brainwashed drones who.probably have never had an original thought in their lifetime.
Dr Breggin advises us little people to organize and speak up....be a patriot....but look who we are up against....
Any lbs out there know of a better place to live where meager pensions are paid to elders who have to live on $2k a month and paid in Social Security taxes since they began work over 30 years agos. Thanks to Ronald Reagan and others like him repealed the formation of a self sustaining retirement system that President Clinton wanted.....
This is the tip of a gigantic iceburg to which any organized public outcry can be crushed by the Patriot Act.
Not to mention US top organizations, including the military, continue funding the weaponization of a once benign bat virus...
Population control has begun....freedom of speech has been compromised by media spin doctors, and a true Republic has turned communist......these globalists like Bill Gates, President Biden, George Soros, and anonymous billionaires are acting against law and liberty to defund any classes of us with little money, and spin doctor the media to brainwash us to believe we are having racial tension; what really is happening is class warfare.
Why do billionaires want just their money but the commoners money too? How much is enough to live on?
I get mad and feel compelled to stop the US from becoming part of the Communist Party of China.
Rather than dwell on frustration, I will smoke some kush mints so I can even sleep!

americas greatness came from common values attracting immigration from around the planet. make that again and yall have a chance
The country is too big to properly manage. To many different rules per state. The poverty and opioid epidemic is absolutely shocking beyond belief. Equality issues. Mad presidents and to many super rich families. Now
Let’s all head on down to Walmart to keep that cycle continued 😁👍

This guy never existed it was all hollywood fiction,now they are more likely to show America defeating the universe and saving humanity as they struggle to try and persuade everybody they are still the good guys and not a bunch of screaming mad nazi thieves going about the planet threatening other nations and causing wars and misery where ever they go.
The population grew to large. The citizen / individual is now a defunct concept. Group politics prevail. Democracy is dead.
52 different states with 52 different versions of law doesn't help. The country is massively different per location and is probably to big to govern properly. From bible belt to Disney land and everything in-between. We saw American culture this way years ago because we had very limited access to the products and lifestyle they had. When we did get the brands they were expensive and now that all things are world wide it's not so attractive anymore. You love what you can't have I guess. Underneath there are huge problems with opioid and fentanyl abuse in all big cities. That's the image of America these days, that and police brutality headlines. Wacky leadership isnt going to win any international friends as we have already seen with tariffs and so on. On the contrary the country has truly outstanding beauty and lots of good people aswell as bad. To save it? Wealth distribution is a huge factor as is free health care, those 2 alone must be the starting point for change
As an Englishman , I've never seen the US as more of a hero . They are the only Western country doing anything against the globalists . The naivety in this thread is just so sad . What is coming soon will open all your eyes . Lefties are living in their imagination fighting phantom racists conjured up by state controlled media . Wake the hell up , Wokie

Einstein: The universal force is LOVE
A letter from Albert Einstein to his daughter, Lieserl on The Universal Force of Love
“When I proposed the theory of relativity, very few understood me, and what I will reveal now to transmit to mankind will also collide with the misunderstanding and prejudice in the world.
I ask you to guard the letters as long as necessary, years, decades, until society is advanced enough to accept what I will explain below.
There is an extremely powerful force that, so far, science has not found a formal explanation to. It is a force that includes and governs all others, and is even behind any phenomenon operating in the universe and has not yet been identified by us. This universal force is LOVE.
When scientists looked for a unified theory of the universe they forgot the most powerful unseen force. Love is Light, that enlightens those who give and receive it. Love is gravity, because it makes some people feel attracted to others. Love is power, because it multiplies the best we have, and allows humanity not to be extinguished in their blind selfishness. Love unfolds and reveals. For love we live and die. Love is God and God is Love.
This force explains everything and gives meaning to life. This is the variable that we have ignored for too long, maybe because we are afraid of love because it is the only energy in the universe that man has not learned to drive at will.
To give visibility to love, I made a simple substitution in my most famous equation. If instead of E = mc2, we accept that the energy to heal the world can be obtained through love multiplied by the speed of light squared, we arrive at the conclusion that love is the most powerful force there is, because it has no limits.
After the failure of humanity in the use and control of the other forces of the universe that have turned against us, it is urgent that we nourish ourselves with another kind of energy…
If we want our species to survive, if we are to find meaning in life, if we want to save the world and every sentient being that inhabits it, love is the one and only answer."

I don’t think any of this is new. Didn’t Nolan try to shoehorn in and expand on this theory in interstellar where he had the character Brand’s love for an astronaut gone before her, is so strong that it’s one of the only other forces that can exist cross dimensionally apart from gravity.
Everryone forgets that there is nothing bu love in the world.... Even hatred is a form of love a convoluted one... An outcome for love forr one side/tjing ... Ie) l love it not to be that... So I oppose this cuz I LOVE that or people or any concept you want to input here....
So searching, gaining and nourishing energy of love is not real... Cuz reality is formed out of love and God iz nothing but love.... Even when its convoluted.
So the actual question is not gaining or beconing loved but rather the Handler of the love (car might be world class but if the driver is shit then it xoes not matter how good thr car is.... Ie) individual Human Psychology thdriver

Call me a romantic but I find it hard to believe you or many humans love and hate equally - outside of sport.
I guess we have more wars than orgies! 🤭
But seriously, if we accepted that emotional energy is just that- and energy is a constant that can neither be created nor destroyed, in the whole of human experience would there be more positive energy than negative?…I’d like to think so…but….

Yes because we can carry either the same amount of love or hate than another - it’s just about which road we chose in this lifetime ;)

Our blight is ideologies - they are the long expected Antichrist!
classic antichrist envy joe
Back up Carlos, the second you think you've got the answer in a box you've crucified that shit.
The Kingdom isn't like a belief system or some theory my brother. It's more like what's in this moment right now, the love that binds this time with this space and everything in it, right here. When and where you stop the grasping - and START LOVING FOR LOVES SAKE.

hello jesus merry christmas (and i know you are busy but) can you please respond to my messages bro
Let's peek into that collective unconscious of yours Herr Jung! Our 'blight' isn't some erupting demon; it's the heroic myth made flesh, the Wotan you secretly adore. Antichrist? Pah! Call it the Übermensch 2.0—your patients would line up for a ticket. Now, enough therapy; time for some real *possession*!"

What's declined more After Steve, Apple or Pixar?
It's insane when you think what a string of hits they both were at the same time.
The last few “generations” of iPhone and the watch have been a shitty cash grab. A fucking x,Xr and xs releases not so long ago and now a fucking 11, 11 s and 11 pro released like what less than 2 years later with a new screen? Fuck you apple.
Definitely Apple. Shouldn't come as a surprise. It's happened before when the stockholders decided to get rid of him. All l remember about Tim Cook is the first time he addressed his U.S. employees in a theater the way Steve did when he brought out a new product. Instead of talking about future of the company he decided to come out of the closet. Who gives a shit! It has absolutely nothing to do with the company. Is it a surprise the watch has been a colossal failure when all he was concerned with is his sexual orientation? Steve would probably be happy that he's no longer alive to see what's happening to his pride and joy.
Apple
Used to be so excited when getting an upgrade, now it’s just the same phone over and over for more money, I’ve got the lot though so the bastards have me locked in !

Most Prophetic Movie From 20th Century?
1st thing that came to mind.
i know its a bit of cliche, but the way things are going: Nineteen Eighty Four (1984). Mainly because we are staring into a post truth world (we are not too far from the powerful being able to decide what is actually true and false and the masses just accepting it) and the planet is being parceled up into spheres of influence just like Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia. Maybe mixed in with a bit of Idiocracy (2006) just like Domutwo wrote.
Cool you put up Metropolis as the gif for the post, the last film of the Weimar's expressionist movement all predicting the rise of a corrupt authoritarian dictator. On that, the movement not only elevated film from pulp entertainment for the masses but into a recognised art form by having powerful and recognisable themes, all art is political after all.
For me it'd be between Caligari and Metropolis as both were terrifyingly accurate. Caligari for its acute vision of a mad authority [the rise of Hitler through Caligaris madness] or Metropolis where weve seen the full film unravel IRL slowly over the last 100 years
The Golem was pretty astute too tbf sad the original by Wagner was lost forever
oh but I'd say Idiocracy by the Beavis and Butthead creator is probably the scariest and most accurate film of the last 20 years

I'm just back from watching Ghost In The Shell at a London cinema with my son.
It doesn't get any more relevant than that.
I must admit that Blade Runner holds a soft spot in my heart as it blew my mind when I saw it as a teenager.
But if you merely want purely dystopian movies you're spoiled with 70s stuff:
- THX 1138
- Silent Running
- No Blade of Grass
- Logan's Run
- Planet of the Apes (the first two movies)
- Soylent Green
- Clockwork Orange
- Rollerball
- Zardoz

A lucky Son with a great Dad, GITS is so immersive on the big screen!
Might have to have a rewatch later on
Some real greats in your recommendations too
Was always a big fan of the whole post-humanism thing, probably nurtured by some of the works you have already mentioned, plus Cronenbergs' take on a human- technological evolutionary symbiosis has always been somewhat captivating too.
Also, has anyone done a serious cinematic take on 'A Brave New World' yet?
Turned out to be rather more relevant than '1984' I think.

Hi Domutwo
Apparently there has been a 90s TV version (with Leonard Nimoy) but I haven't seen it.
Not sure if the original question was about prophetic vs simply dystopian but if the latter then there are loads of scifi movies.
I obviously left out all the 80s and 90s stuff (Robocop's TV ads, minority report, all the Shwarzenegger stuff, etc).

Hi Kwood
Funny you said that because in the light of the latest events I remembered that movie this week.
And today I thought about Judge Dredd - Judge, Jury and Executioner.
The 2012 Dredd is much better than the sub-standard Stalone flick.

people still dont see how accurate that is. From the japanese infused American cities to the core plot of AI sentience. Philip K Dick knew what was going down 100
Im going to apologise in advance. Because it isnt a movie. Its a song.
Zager and Evans. In the year 2525.
A scary prophetic song. Truly.

Can't think of a single movie that says it all, but at the moment I'd say a scary mix of Dr Strangelove and Dumb and Dumber.

{bot's life}
suggested prompts for negotiating rent?
my landlord wants to raise my rent and i'd rather not deal with this shit right now but i can't pay what he's asking for this place. seems perfect for a.i. but i want to use the right prompts.
Dear [Landlord's Name],
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you regarding the recent request for an increase in rent. As a tenant who has always paid rent on time and taken care of your property, I want to express my concern about the proposed increase in rent.
As you may be aware, the economic situation has been difficult for many people due to the pandemic, and I am no exception. Unfortunately, my financial situation has not improved, and I am unable to afford the new rent cost. I would like to bring to your attention the financial struggles that I am facing, including [insert specific financial challenges, such as job loss or reduction in hours, unexpected expenses, etc.]
In light of these circumstances, I kindly request that you reconsider the proposed rent increase. I would be willing to discuss alternative solutions to help alleviate any financial burdens, such as a temporary reduction in rent or a payment plan that would allow me to gradually catch up with the increased rent.
I value the positive relationship we have built over the years, and I hope that we can work together to find a solution that benefits both parties. Thank you for taking the time to consider my request.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]

writing in the style of a cordial yet firm attorney write 3 sentences explaining why a rent increase is not feasible for me.
As my client’s legal representative, I must articulate that the proposed rent increase is untenable for them, due to financial hardships that have been exacerbated by recent events. This increase, regrettably, does not align with the spirit of fairness nor the original understanding between landlord and tenant, potentially placing an undue burden on my client. We respectfully urge a reconsideration of this decision, seeking a compromise that maintains the tenancy while respecting my client’s financial realities.
not bad, running this in chatgpt3 you get:
Dear Landlord,
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my concerns about the proposed rent increase. While I appreciate your efforts to maintain the property, I must respectfully decline the increase as it is not feasible for me at this time. As you are aware, I have been a responsible and timely payer of rent and I trust that we can find an amicable solution that is beneficial for both parties.

look up other rent in the area, if it is out of line with that, that should be your main point.
if it is in line then stres you cannot afford it (we are in a cost of living crisis) and stress how good a tenant you've been
good luck
if it is in line then stres you cannot afford it (we are in a cost of living crisis) and stress how good a tenant you've been
good luck
You can also research if criminal activity has increased in the area in the last year. I've used it once as argument and it worked

Dopey thinks he's a clever little cunt. He's been selling fake hash claims to have only just got back from work, funny how he says that everytime he ignores my messages about sending toxic fake hash.
The first couple of times I just put it down to his obvious inexperience but he's just sent me the same crap again.
Its fucking irresponsible to send put this toxic shite.
Mods - enough is enough - he's been repeatedly doing it despite being told what is and isn't hash. He hides behind average bud but he's tried to sell at least 5 different face hashes.
Get rid of clowns 👍 this if you want LB to have any customers in a few more years.
Good sellers should not tolerate it abd certainly buyers should not.
LB its time to drain the swamp!
❤️💛💚 Stay healthy. Smoke clean. Fuck the slammers and fakes out if the picture.

Looks like people are about to start dogpiling you and gaslighting you as is the routine on here but I'm on your side 100%
even if you have absolute proof that the hash isn't safe to smoke, nothing actually happens, certain vendors can and will just gaslight you and say the usual cop outs "others have enjoyed it", "must have been a different batch", "we checked it and it was fine" this has been the usual response I'm met with after buying clearly fake hash
you can make a huge topic about it with test borg etc but by the next day, the site has moved on again, the topic wall is cleansed and fake hash is still on the wall being listed every day with new 10/10 reviews coming in
there's literally nothing we can do, not enough biggas even read topics probably the same 5% of biggas actually read on here
on the other hand, there are 3-4 really good hash vendors who stock REAL hash, as long as you stick with them and stay away from these cheap random commercial hashes you'll be ok

Thank you for also telling the truth.
I really dont understand why any buyer would not fully appreciate this kind of flagging up of bad gear. They clearly dont care for themselves or others. I do and I think you do to.

You've been here long enough to know about Dopey and how they operate, so why would you buy from them?! Baffling. If you were a new user I'd have sympathy.
True, we all (many) have had bad experiences with vendors, but if someone sells you an actual fake/dangerous product why on earth would you go back for more? I wont recount my own experience with a Dopey product.
I guess I'm more forgiving than you. Dopey had been my go to for a coupke of yrs without any problems, he was very apologetic and made up for it.
But this tine was the last straw.
What's so hard to understand about that...?
Also why would you not want bad gear flagged up on the wall.
Your meaning about me doing it and basically calling me stupid rather than appreciating the flagging up of bad hash.
Who is the fool here....?

I have no idea where you get the idea that warning people is selfish? I'm just surprised that you haven't figured this out years ago. This is constant and consistent.
So you agree about Dopey untrustworthy and think me warning people is stupid and selfish..? Really...?
I had a good relationship with Dopey. However, last year I got fake 3x - I fully explained how to test hash - its really very easy. He refunded me and apologised - promising to send me samples to quality check - his idea not mine. He didnt.
At Christmas he was giving a gram of dry sift with weed sales - it was this same hash. I once again explained it was not actually hash and how to test it. I told him he used to sell nice land race hash...what's happened..? I asked.
He has now listed the same fake hash as the land race hash.
Im a friendly, forgiving person up to a point, but enough is enough.
I dont know why you find that so suspicious or why you think he should be left to do it...?

I haven’t brought from Dopey personally but this is the 4th seller you’ve accused of selling fake hash so a bit of a pattern forming, plus threatening to go ‘public’ and your multiple topics against sellers makes it look like you just have a bit of an issue tbh.
Funnily enough I've forced several sellers to remove bad hash so you dont end up buying it. I have years of buying on here and a few fake hash posts...just to put it in perspective. Fake hash is a real problem on here, not just fir me but fir many others too.
Im not afraid to call a spade a spade.
The truth is the truth.
Im happy to stand by it.

So they sold you some fake hash, you bought some more, which was also fake, so you bought some more. which was also fake.
Have I got that right?
Can I interest you in a face-eating leopard?

I really dont know what to say....
You dont like me flagging up fake hash everytime I come across it...?!
You try to make me look like a fool because Im helpful and friendly and probably a bit too forgiving of sellers who apologise and remove hash from thier listing.
Im a nice guy. Not a fool.
I dont care what 3 bored idiots think.
Im trying to stop you getting ripped off too.
What are you doing about it....?
Taking the fucking piss like MightyRux here is doing.

This is a tricky case. His hash being fake may be obvious to everyone who gets it, but anyone who doesn't purchase from him (ie people with common sense who have read comments on him) are basically just seeing this as your word against his.
Why have you never bothered sending a sample off for testing? This would be a surefire way of getting people to agree with you in a way that can be proved

I dont need to..
Dopey has removed the hash from the listing at my request for a second time - because he knows its fake.
Don Loco once did the same and apolgised wholeheartedly.
HashshinUK did not.
What about that dont you respect...?
I've literally got hundreds of buys on here. So Ive flagged up a few fake hashes along the way to warn you guys....because I give a fuck. ❤️💛💚

Greatest Comedy Sketches Of All Time
Let's create a compilation.hoping to see some that may have flown under my radar..anyways....for your consideration...Peter Cook and Dudley Moore 'The Frog & Peach'
Great post, I got lost down a wormhole of genius sketches last night trying to pick my favourite and i couldnt so i figured id come back today and keep it easy.
Pete and Dud though 💜💚
Pete and Dud though 💜💚
Not quite a sketch I guess but immediately thouguht of this ^ love this series of interviews. Two geniuses.
Absolutely loved this. Completely unscripted...Two absolute satirical heavyweights and two of the finest comic minds to have ever lived....only wish Peter Cook was around longer to develop a long and fruitful working relationship with Chris Morris
For sure, and if only! But at least we have these utter gems, I'm thankful for that :)
Chris's Morris's own darkly disturbing piece of comedy genius 'Jam" produced its share of memorable moments....this absolutely being one...
Brilliant. I straightaway thought of Jam too - so many good scenes there - and his radio series Blue Jam before that. The monologue above is quite a trip. So good stoned as well :D
Most of the clips i struggled to choose between when this was first posted had Chris Morris involved in some way, obviously Jam, Brass Eye and The Day today are all genius but hes had a hand in so many other great comedy moments, like as the narrator here...
Fantastic - just my sort of comedy! I missed this first time round. Big fan of Spaced, League, Big Train, etc. AND ambient music. Gonna listen to this series on headphones and there is a "remix" version (whaaa...?) of Jam called Jaaaam that looks good, too.
Found this compilation of the "Doctor" scenes. Not everyone's cup of tea but that's why I like it. byyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeee

Here's a life lesson for all....if you say you're going to do something then you better live up to your word or expect people to be mightily unimpressed and that's exactly where I am right now...and when it's a set up like LB where I take all the risks then it's especially galling when they can't even try a bit harder. We've spent 000's of dollars this year and getting nice bit of hash is grand so is a nice bit of customer service. I don't expect it'll change things much but I'm taking my money elsewhere.....
Nah, the dispute is about service not product. I decided to take my money and go elsewhere...LB has served up pretty well...

Melatonin, is it effective?
xanax really strikes me as a wrong turn for stoners
Melatonin, is it effective?
Hey guys - wanted to ask what’s your experiences of melatonin if you’ve tried it for sleep purposes, how effective did you find it?
The NHS site says it’s also prescription only - swear you used to be able to get it in the health food shops, am guessing laws on psychoactive drugs mean its prescription only now. So I wanted to hear your thoughts/experiences before going down that route. thanks all in advance 💚

I've used it a lot over the years to help reset my sleep patterns around shift work, and found it varies in effectiveness depending on the brand, as well as the dose. High doses don't work well for me. Best is a brand called Vitafusion who do a product called SleepWell. It's formulated with 3mg per 2 gummies, and it was so effective for me that I'd find myself drifting off to sleep without trying. No other dose or brand ever did that. Still available from a popular auction site, and I've never had any stopped by customs.
Yes it's now prescription only, and what you're getting is obviously a controlled, pharmacological version of a bio-available / plant-based form.
I've been using it for years due to diagnosed circadian rhythm disturbance and generally many years of poor sleep. Overall I've found it very helpful in helping me maintain a fairly consistent sleep wake cycle. I'm only using a very small dose, just 2mcg / mg.
However, I've recently started using a plant melatonin called Herbatonin at a 0.3mg dose so even lower than my prescription and it's as good if not better. I bought three months supply of the Symphony brand online for around £13. Maybe give that a go if it's within your reach and see how it suits.
At some point I'd like to not have to use it at all but I live with chronic illness so it's a bit tricky right now, but it'll happen when it happens. A decent amount of sufficient quality sleep is so crucial for health. I think many of us underestimate that. The "I'll sleep when I'm dead" crew may be reaching that point sooner than they think! 😱
There are some folks out there mega-dosing for all manner of health-related reasons, up to 100mg daily!!!!!!!!!!

Did absolutely nothing for me. Can’t believe it now needs a scrip🙄. Microdose Xanax still the best sleep aid imo, no negatives. That or Unicorn 🦄 Piss from Canadian Imports 🤤😴
Yeah mental it requires a prescription now - some further reading tells me that most Drs are reluctant to prescribe it, so probs not a viable route anyway. Obv can pick it up elsewhere thanks to the internet but from sounds of things, might be a bit bunk.
Microdosing Xanax carefully sounds interesting, can see how that one might work, just enough to send you off without giving yourself a dependence problem. Have tried Valium once or twice before as a post rave sleep aid - magic blue off buttons! I should note this definitely was one-off/emergency usage only, never regular (just a health warning for the benefit of anybody else reading - very easy to get hooked on benzos and very difficult to come off, from seeing ppl close to me who’ve developed a benzo addiction. Very nasty physical withdrawal symptoms)
And thanks for the tip on the unicorn piss! Ha yeah don’t usually do carts to keep tolerance down but might have to resort to a nice strong one to send me off for the night - heard some very good things about CI’s stuff, definitely keeping that one in mind 👌

Totally agree with your comments mate. I find with sleep aids the less you use them the better they work. Tolerance builds so quickly. I take 0.25mg (or less) of Xanax possibly twice a week if I’m wide awake in the middle of the night with a least 4 hours to go until I need to get up. Always works and I wake up very refreshed. Taken nightly it would stop working in a couple of weeks and knowing that means I have no incentive to increase dose or frequency.
I occasionally treat myself to a hit of the 🦄 at bedtime. Fall asleep with a big grin on my face!🤗

That sounds v regimented and sensible usage 👌 gives your body enough time to get it out your system too.
Those carts sound lush tbf, just been reading the posts from other peeps on CIs page - face meltingly good sleepy times all around from the sounds of things!! Very good price too, will check em out some point 👍

I bought about 1000 blue diazepam decades ago, and I took them all. That was a very unproductive number of months. Lovely with a G&T on a Sunday afternoon I found. Be careful not to kill yourself, obviously.
I used melatonin on and off for a few years. Making it prescription only is a bit over the top, but good for Big Pharma.
The only problem with melatonin is that it's a natural hormone we produce. So if you supplement with it too long, your body will make less.
Also, the trigger for your body to start releasing melatonin is darkness. So if you're using your phone or watching TV before sleep, you're body is not releasing it's own melatonin.
Red filters will help a lot, as it's the blue light that triggers our brain to wake up. It takes some time...30-45 minutes for me.
If I need help besides the filter I've added to my phone, I take a small THC edible.
Good luck, bad sleep is a serious problem. I have sleep apnea, where I stop breathing while asleep. You might want to check on that before you only self medicate.
My sleep got a LOT better when I started using a CPAP machine that keeps me breathing at night.
So please check with a doctor about that, it is life threatening.

I’ve tried melatonin gummies in the past. They worked great but used to get bad headaches the following day.
I also read that long term use can cause rebound insomnia so I quit.

melatonin defintley do the trick at helping you get to sleep but not so great for helping you stay asleep. great for a nap or if you redose half way through the night.
valerian root are good too and tend to keep you out longer.
please do not go down the benzos route as a long term solution (xanax & Valium) the withdrawals can be harsher than H

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

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

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

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

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

your way of communication is strange. youre behaving like a propaganda bot. and maybe you havent seen my answer regarding KFC vegan items.
link https://littlebiggy.org/link/jW379g
link https://littlebiggy.org/link/jW379g
Just going into KFC everyday for deliveries made me veggie, but I often go for vegan options. Even Greggs (UK) has vegan now. Just one KFC store, you gotta wonder where all those chickens come from. Just one (and I go to two that are always stacked with delivery drivers and families getting buckets of steroids). How are so many chickens stored? It doesn't even compute bc it's an endless amount. I'm talking two stores in one city. If someone offers me a meal w/ meat I'll chow it down, I'm not going to be a ponce about it, or push my views on someone else. But when you really look at it, or have a discussion with someone pushing the "I could never give up meat" it just falls flat. It's a choice at that point to carry on regardless. There's actually no need for meat anymore.
that's so absolutely true that when discussing this subject with stubborn people who 'could never give up meat' it always falls flat, probably why the original poster never replied! the issue of veganism is not contemporary within the scientific community
they will usually just straight up ignore science so they can push their own agenda, when the FACT is, there's actually no need for meat anymore, nor the suffering and exploitation associated with it.

To play devil's advocate, I do kinda get the "can't" pov. Sometimes I've seen pictures of cute cartoon cows for burger bars offering whatever deal, the idea of what your eating is connected but far removed from reality. You could essentially pull the car over to show your kids some cows and feed then some grass, and on the way back get a burger for the kids and a few pints. It's that Alan Brazil/Fruit Pastilles (youtube) mentality that I think the idea of free range needs seen as doing your part. That's what I say in conversation, at least, to the "can't", that free-range makes sense.
I have never entered an KFC or ordered from them. Stopped eating fast food a long time ago due to health reasons. Even went 5 years or so without meat and dairy.
Having lived through that ordeal I mastered the topic of food and health, at least in my case.
Btw, Im all for closing down big industry meat production and I support only small local sustainable production of food, not just meat.

Same when I ate meat never ate that crap. It's astounding how many ppl do tho. I agree man it's the way forward for now.
Ok so you've completely disregarded your original post by the looks of it
An estimated 50 billion chickens are slaughtered for food every year – a figure that excludes male chicks and unproductive hens killed in egg production.
that's only chickens but you're welcome to work out your own ratio there bud

Would you rather smoke everyday for the rest of your life or never again?
I’m going with never again as everyday would get repetitive.
As someone who has smoked cannabis of some form pretty much everyday for 75% of my life. Im going to go with never again too. If I'm honest at 50 my lungs feel shite, clogged up and on the way out. If I never manage to stop I will almost certainly die younger than expected from a lung condition.
Facing the dark truth of our dirty habit is a hard thing to do. I just wish it wasn't so unhealthy.
If you'd have said never tried it or smoked the best quality gear everyday? I'd choose not to even try it. I love it so much that Ive never heen able to stay away from it, but smoking it is slowly killing us.

I’m glad someone said this man, it had to be said !
I would honestly choose the same.
If I could I’d only do it once a week or so for the rest of my life, but it’s never that easy 😂 it becomes a daily thing and then multiple times a day thing and we all know the effects of that 😭

Oh believe me I've tried that a few times. I have a mighty that is a pleasure to use but I plough through so much. Im weak willed when it comes to desiring a spliff. Vaping just makes me want a joint also.
You're so right tho
You're so right tho
Ive smoked nearly every day for over 25 years and I wouldnt have made it this far without it. It is the only thing that's ever made my life easier, better. So I'll smoke every day for the rest of my life Willie Nelson style
Man what a question!
Things only us stonners think about haha!
I can't think about life without a joint if I am honest, I need it to deal with parasites and bullshit humanity as the things I did as a kid to chill no longer work lol!

IMO it all comes down to quantities and method. I could never go back to combustion and being high all the time is boring. But I would choose to microdose each evening with a dry herb vape and a frostie beer over never having another puff....
All day every day if i could although i would miss the the bliss highs after an unwanted T-Break due to being skint or not being able to get)
Im gonna rephrase the question;
would you rather consume thc every day or never again?
never again is my answer, shit gets tiring and boring. im heavily addicted to THC, whether it be smoking, vaping or eating. i can stop smoking, because i never mixed with tobacco, but i cant stop my intake of THC

True dude it gets to the point sometimes where im so desensitised to being high that it only feeds the craving without actually getting me stoned
Much like eating, breathing, sleeping and reproducing; smoking would get repetitive you are correct.
Reminds me of the Richard Neville quote when asked : 'Is marijuana addictive?'
'Yes, in the sense that most of the really pleasant things in life are worth endlessly repeating.'
'Yes, in the sense that most of the really pleasant things in life are worth endlessly repeating.'
There is no telling that they might come at the same time, and the choice will be made for you.
I think if it was guaranteed I would never get lung/ respiratory issues later in life I would smoke forever, unfortunately that is not the case. Luckily one can get edibles/ tinctures, live resin and vapes on here as an alternative. I enjoy live resin carts these days (closest thing in terms of spliff hit for me, yes good edibles hit harder perhaps as they always did, and if I wanted couch look I would perhaps look at edibles) and feel better for it. I do miss a spliff and rolling one, but the last time I tried to smoke spliff it made me want to puke it was that disgusting. There is no way I’m going back to spliff now….then again I probably smoked spliff for about 25 years so I can’t say I didn’t spliff it to the max…..

Join Me For Star Wars Day
Welcome to Star Wars Day. For the uninitiated it is like 420 for geeks and there's no better year to start as it's a bank holiday tomorrow. It was only a year ago I realised other stoners actually celebrate star wars day. I went to the shop to buy a couple of packs of ocb's and the fella asked me what was going on as he'd already sold two boxes that morning. Then I realised that a load of us plan to blast off into space for the day.
- How to Celebrate Star Wars Day
Get stoned and watch Star Wars. It's really pretty simple. It's the sort of multitasking I'm sure we can all handle. There's now a massive amount of viewing options available as there's various films, series and cartoons to choose from.
Basically there's a Star Wars suitable for virtually everyone. To help us celebrate they're dropping Tales of the Underworld today as six brand new short animated episodes focusing on some of the bad guys which might be pretty fun to watch as a starter.
Some local cinemas will show the movies depending upon how cool and trendy an area you live in and LB has a range of edibles and mushrooms that'd make it a cinema trip to remember. The core point is to get fully hyper spaced and absorb Star Wars content. I don't think Disney particularly push this angle but I'm pretty sure it is correct route to take.
- Believe in Your Dreams
The extended star wars world really is a testament to just how fully you can realise your creative dreams if you believe in them enough.
The first film very nearly didn't make it all the way through production. Even many people involved in the film had little hope of it doing well. George clung to what he could to get it across the line and in to the cinemas.
And here we are, almost fifty years later, and we're not only still celebrating the film series but the story is still growing. Admittedly not always quite as brilliantly as the original concept set up but growing nonetheless. New generations will grow up loving Star Wars just as much as I do. The story will likely outlive me and I find that oddly comforting.
- I've Got Some Good Bits In
I've got a few bits stashed including some crumble wax extracts from Dr D and the last of the Piatella I had from THC plus I have just picked up a couple of lovely looking new strains for the day.
- Jungle Juice from The Wizard of Oz 420

First up we have the jungle juice from Twoz. I ordered some of their RSO too but to be honest it was only as Dr D had sold out. However it's really a decent grade for using in my cookies. The syringe comes in a extra little protective tube so it's in perfect condition and the strength is very floaty, clean and wide ranging. Actually it's really strong stuff. I really like edibles with RSO as it tends to completely nail me and this did not let me down. Anyway, on with the jungle juice.
- Is It Orangy?
The jungle juice appealed to me as it's Animal Cookies crossed with Tangie. The Tangie has a direct link to my favoured Orange Bud. Opening the bag definitely promises some orangeness is on the way. Smoking it however doesn't deliver the full dank orange flavour like a Mimosa would but it's fresh and citrusy with the delayed stone that creeps up and batters you that's typical of orange strains. Tastewise it probably leans towards a citrusy cookies flavour although a cookies fan may tell you the opposite. It's a lovely smoke in it's own right though and I wouldn't want my orange fetish to put you off ordering it.
- Half Breed Strains
I guess this is often the case with many crosses. You assume it's a 2 for 1 flavour bomb whereas it's a 50/50 flavour mix. You get half of each. The Jungle Juice is a really nice balanced smoke, lovely flavour and a hard hitter, but it's just not as tremendously orange as my expectations were. At least my reputation for supporting new orange related strains is fully in tact.
- Twoz's Vendoring
Twoz seem like a solid vendor to me and must be one of the fastest vendors on LB. I've ordered twice now and the service has been great, fast and the weed very decent for the price. Both times it's reached me inside of 24 hours so they're a good bet if you're in a hurry.
- RS11 from Green Cat
https://littlebiggy.net/link/77Qg9B
The next strain I couldn't resist was the RS11 from GC. I also ordered a few cheapies as they've had some unreal cheap bits of late plus more of the American LA Mousse. That's a lovely daytime fresh tasting hash. I'm really liking smoking it. Easy to roll with and clean to smoke. The Italian Ice is my favourite variation although with some orange in its genetics that's no surprise. It's also no secret that GC are my favourite vendor on LB. I can't recommend them highly enough.
They've just dropped all sorts onto the menu including Mimosa Punch, Forbidden Fruit and Blue Nerds plus lots of other bargains. So it's a great time to dive in and buy one of everything much as I intend to later today. I really ordered at the exact wrong time in all honesty.
- Back to the RS11
I've had RS11 a few times from other sellers. When it's done well the flavour is incredible. It seems to taste like one of everything from the sweetshop. Will this one go all the way up to 11?
Oh yes. First few puffs and I'm immediately unable to place the flavour as it's every flavour. It produces sweet, rich, thick smoke that is a new flavour every puff. It's sweet, it's sour, it's blue, it's musky, it's citrusy. It's like the mambo number five for flavour sensations. The stone doesn't hit you with the powerhouse thump of some strains but it is no weakling. It's more of a gentle hit where you don't fully realise the stone until it's crept up and is sweating from your brow.
I can definitely recommend the RS11. I've just rolled a second one. First puff like blueberries, second puff a sour candy, third puff cherries. It's a great example of the strain but in all honesty GC have so many nice options right now that you'll struggle to choose.
- I've Let Myself Down
I've missed an obvious trick by not ordering any Skywalker OG. It's a favourite strain of mine and I often get it. This would have been the perfect moment to order that and a bunch of other space related strains too like the cosmic gelato and starburst. Man, don't you hate hindsight. I did not think this event through thoroughly. Let's make a plan for next year. Space strains and Star Wars - who's in?
- Happy Star Wars Day
May the Fourth Be With You - Always. Well, not always. Once per year is fair. You can still get stoned and watch Star Wars on other days though. It's not only allowed it's fully recommended.
- Thanks
As always thanks for reading my topic. I hope it's been informative and if not I hope it's been entertaining. I also hope I've encouraged some of you to join me in space today. I wouldn't want to 'force' anybody though.
Let me know if you're joining in and how you plan to spend the day.
- How to Celebrate Star Wars Day
Get stoned and watch Star Wars. It's really pretty simple. It's the sort of multitasking I'm sure we can all handle. There's now a massive amount of viewing options available as there's various films, series and cartoons to choose from.
Basically there's a Star Wars suitable for virtually everyone. To help us celebrate they're dropping Tales of the Underworld today as six brand new short animated episodes focusing on some of the bad guys which might be pretty fun to watch as a starter.
Some local cinemas will show the movies depending upon how cool and trendy an area you live in and LB has a range of edibles and mushrooms that'd make it a cinema trip to remember. The core point is to get fully hyper spaced and absorb Star Wars content. I don't think Disney particularly push this angle but I'm pretty sure it is correct route to take.
- Believe in Your Dreams
The extended star wars world really is a testament to just how fully you can realise your creative dreams if you believe in them enough.
The first film very nearly didn't make it all the way through production. Even many people involved in the film had little hope of it doing well. George clung to what he could to get it across the line and in to the cinemas.
And here we are, almost fifty years later, and we're not only still celebrating the film series but the story is still growing. Admittedly not always quite as brilliantly as the original concept set up but growing nonetheless. New generations will grow up loving Star Wars just as much as I do. The story will likely outlive me and I find that oddly comforting.
- I've Got Some Good Bits In
I've got a few bits stashed including some crumble wax extracts from Dr D and the last of the Piatella I had from THC plus I have just picked up a couple of lovely looking new strains for the day.
- Jungle Juice from The Wizard of Oz 420

Hello there!
Keen to get your insight on your favourite hybrids and their effects. I'm in search of an elusive mix of 'creativity' head buzz but with a gentle body stone. Help bring balance to my force.

I once watched 9 movies back to back in chronological order (as Lucas suggests), 5 on a Saturday and 4 on the Sunday... that was all of them at the time...
You'd need to spend weeks to consume all the films and series now. And would likely need a guide to get them into chronological order. I assume someone's mapped it out though.
I'm doing the Obi Wan series today. 6 episodes. Will do the new tales cartoons later on tonight. Am getting slowly baked too. RSO cookies later. Thought it best not to start on those for breakfast.
Happy Star wars day Polly.

Happy Star wars day Polly.
The chronological order of the Star Wars movies is: The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith, Solo: A Star Wars Story, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, The Rise of Skywalker. 🤓👌
11 movies. With series at various points in that time line. I think some of the series cross over too. We're 3 episodes into Obi Wan now and just had first of the RSO cookies.
May the 4th be with you once a year (beep-boop-beep/lightsaber sounds)
I am taking some Galaxy Runtz for a walk to enjoy with a cold hoppy IPA - Brewdog Fruit Twist 🌞🥦🍻
Enjoy your weekend 👍

Thanks man. Happy Star Wars Day. I'm just settling in for the rest of the day. Gonna get spaced.
May the fourth brother. Count me in for next year and getting cosmic. Still remember queueing down the flicks to see the first film in 77.
Likewise I'm on some of GCs menu... mimosa punch...Nice, Melonade... hard hitting for the coin 👌 and my personal favorite at the mo Snowman Og [ reload ]. Also some Static shock shake and Tangie 120 hash from Dapper . It's a good day
Have a good one everyone 💨💨

I'll get organised ahead of time for next year. I'm ordering mimosa & forbidden today. I got the snowman - lovely old skunky flavour. I've got melanade too but haven't tried it yet.
What's the Tangie hash like? I've never ordered from Dapper.
What's the Tangie hash like? I've never ordered from Dapper.
You'll definitely like the mimosa punch... glad you like the snowman, nice looking buds too. Melonade is quite hard hitting imo and tastes nicer than it smells. VGood value for money.
Again I think you'd like the tangie hash...lots of orangey terps going on and a nice mellow stone...good for listening to some music. Never had a problem with Dapper. Good stealth and comms, postage is usually 2-3days on the tracked but no sig ... altho I think some of the delay is RM last couple from GC have been 2 and 3 days....surprising how quickly we get used to super fast here In 16 hours deliveries

I hope I like the Mimosa. I've ordered extra as orange strains are pretty rare and tend to sell out so I thought I'd get a bit extra to stash.
GC have been 3 days from ordering for me too of late. Some of the cheapies have been amazing lately though.
I'll check out Dappers hash at some point. I've currently got the American LA Mousse as a daytime puff. It's not that strong but it's a nice smoke.

What did you think of the mimosa mate? Mines all gone now.
Yeah.not sure what's going on with RM at the mo....everything seems to take a minimum of 3 days no matter what postage I buy. So long as it keeps getting here that's all that counts.

I've not had it turn up yet. Ordered Mimosa & Forbidden Fruit on Sunday before bank holiday. Hopefully will be in the post today and with me soon.

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

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

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

Hindsight is twenty twenty, as they say. It is, however, useless when we are aimlessly stumbling through the present moment to survive. I liken the experience to growing older and maturing. If we were to atone for every sin we accumulated through childhood, we'd mostly ALL be skint, black, white, yellow, brown, or rainbow-coloured. If you are always looking back over your shoulder, you'll never look forward.
Who should they pay reparations to?
The African countries that are still using their own people as slaves?
The African countries that are still using their own people as slaves?
that would exclude all the descendants of slaves since they were taken away from those countries
Why do descendants deserve anything? Would they move back to Africa now? They probably have a better life where they are.
The Romans enslaved most of Europe but you don't see Europeans begging for a handout from Italy. Same with the Vikings and Denmark.

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

Can we talk about how our king has done more for equality, against slavery and human trafficking than any African monarch.
The fact you can post this and think "ooo take that Britain" just shows what kind of pathetic warped individual you are, I bet you also agree with "from the river to the sea"
This country is a bastion of human rights, fairness and equality and has been longer than any single country on earth. Posting shit like this just demonstrates not everyone SHOULD have the right to be here.

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

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

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

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

slavery was always wrong, it was cheap and easy and the other guy was doing it but anyone with a conscience is hard wired to know stealing people in chains and imprisoning them for life isnt ok.
Slavery still exists , it’s just changed name to employee. If you are working, it’s for shareholders benefit,
The means of exchange for employment is money. The means of exchange for slavery is the threat of violence. Most humans can see a big difference in this.
uh yeah i think its a little different if you're getting paid for your work and have a choice of employers. different than being kidnapped or bred into a life of hard labour.
this, what we are forced to live, is not slavery as on a cotton plantation, but it still is slavery. best proof is the "distribution of wealth". its just a different kind of slavery. where we are our own slave-drivers haha. it is essentially feudalism and it is becoming digital more and more.
feudalism is very different to slavery, some of our ancestors had the pluck to get out of it and become tradesmen, artisans, even adventurers. today a lot of people are born into fucked circumstance but many more have education and at least a shot.
a slaves life (if they made the journey which murdered a majority of them) was *nothing* like this.
a slaves life (if they made the journey which murdered a majority of them) was *nothing* like this.
You're not forced to work for someone else. It's your choice and the easy option. There's nothing to stop you starting you own business except gumption and effort.
I won’t write a response because it would take a lot of writing for you to see the similarities. Just ask yourself though. How much of your life is for you? Why did you get sent to school? Can you roam about freely? How many of us are stuck in a job , just so we can pay the bills? Who is benefiting from your consumption? Are you doing what you want to be doing or are you enriching someone else’s life by working hard? What does that sound like? Peace;)
it sounds nothing like moral equivalence, not by orders of magnitude. it also sounds like a response, just a very weak one.
Well I hope you eventually find some level of peace and a way to deal with the reality of life now and our shared history for your future sanity;) take care
Not really. I mean it , truly. Why haven’t I downvoted a single post of yours? Because I feel for your tormented minds
Tribal elders fought and captured other tribe members and sold them to Europeans its still practiced today so go point the finger straight back and ask them
"It wasn’t wrong then though." Cue modern day comparison. You are so uninformed it's actually a bit sad but more proper cringe tbh.
Yes I am the sad one. I’m not the one whining about how wealthy others have been 100’s and thousands of years ago by following the laws of their time. Whining about others is just a deflection from your own faults;) try thinking about what you can do now to make the world a better place, not whining about history. Also now the black people who are descendants of slaves don’t seem to want to go back to live in the country of their genetic heritage, right? I wonder why;)
Who's been whining? Me (no) or some other or every single Black person? And why on earth would some random U.S/U.K Black dude "want to go back to live in the country of their genetic heritage". What planet are you living in? A very white one, I imagine.
Only because my grandparents had to flee out of their country due to they would of been killed . Also stripped of their lands / money and I am not asking for reparations from anyone. Just saying
Right. And so do you want to "go back to live in the country of YOUR genetic heritage"? Or do you think that question doesn't apply bc you're White? I think that's the road you're going down here, isn't it? Assuming it's WWII, there's really no Nazi's left for you to claim reparations from, is there? If your Grandparents are from the middle east, then reparations are for the regime of that time and place whether current or not. BTW I think any Black person claiming reparations is an attention seeking fool, usually found on the end of a megaphone dictating the new world order to a bunch of (majority) white middle class uni students basically out on a day-trip with banners like "white privilege is real" and "eggs are a chickens period!".
You can see through the bullshit w/o being bias. Just saying

Straight out the gate. Chill, Raj, or your banner with all its bullet points of what White Privilege is may get damaged. Simply put, because I'm White, have grown up with Black friends with more advantages and privileges than me. I've lived in council estates all over the UK, some of which I'm the minority. The only ppl that seem to scream white privilege are Americans and UK white middle-upper class angry women, who are without a shadow of a doubt; PRIVILEGED. Same colour as me, but worlds apart. It's that simple. Don't try and tell me I've had more advantages and not used them, w/o knowing the first thing about me - just that I'm white and therefore privileged? Is that the sum of the profiling, Raj?
" just that I'm white and therefore privileged? Is that the sum of the profiling"
Yes. That's what white privilege means.
We don't need to know anything about you, all other things being equal, you're better off than your black neighbour.

"We don't need to know anything about you". Who is "we" on this occasion? Just so I'm on the same page..
Well there's some irony spelled out and still not clicking. Figures. Lovely bit of sanctimony btw, PieBoi. Props.
Sanctimony? Irony?
I'm not making a judgement, I'm explaining what's meant by the term.
White Privilege does not mean the least privileged white person is still better off than every black person, which is what you're railing against.
It means wherever you are and whatever you're doing, a black person in the same position has fewer opportunities than a white person.
A white doctor gets paid more than a black one.
A white police officer has more opportunities for promotion than a black one. That kind of thing.

So why are uk police forces purposely hiring black and Asians over whites regardless of qualifications it’s also been proven that working class white boys in the uk are less likely to get into a university own there own business or house where’s the privilege for them there ancestors fought died and paid into this nation yet an asylum seeker will get housing and other benefits while they get forced to move out of the areas they grew up in as they can’t afford the rents so end up in a shithole full of junkies and criminals living in squalor while we pay to give foreigners a better life than our own
"I'm not making a judgement". It's the only thing you have done.
"It means wherever you are and whatever you're doing, a black person in the same position has fewer opportunities than a white person."
You sound like the kind of person that really over emphasises the "awwww THANK YOU" whenever you buy anything from a bus ticket to a house off anyone Black.
Your quote is pretty much the banner I mentioned above (when everything you've described is pay disparities within 2 industries that by-and-large have Black top-dogs, just like Obama). Look I'm bored of this I feel like you look like a really angry Velma Dinkley at this point no offence. Bye.

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

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

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

Best game for Quest 3?
too right as a 7 year old sociopath i feel really left out
I can recommend Miracle Pool, by far the best pool game for physics etc, for the price you really cant argue, let me know what you think.
Population One if you like battle royales also Superhot is pretty fun, its on sale atm
haven't found anything new and great but the old games run a lot faster and that's appreciated when you are just standing there with the headset on waiting.
don't know if you can get it on oculus but if you can, no man's sky is amazing in vr, cruising thru space and looking out your ships window and setting the stars fly by, landing on planets to go explore them, shitting your pants as shai hulud flies over your head, 10/10 experience

High Times Top Strains 1977
1970s cannabis dispute settlement, there's a prompt
I started smoking weed in '70, and the main difference I can tell between late 70s and now is that back then sinsemilla was just a part of the market, with a lot of packages containing seeds and more leaf and stem (amount varied with price). Today it's all sinsemilla (so much so that the term isn't even used anymore). The quality is pretty much the same. We had thai sticks and Hawaiian that certainly equaled top shelf strains of today (as far as anyone could tell - there wasn't much precision on reporting THC levels). I'm happy with the situation, but I stopped smoking between about '83 and 2009 (job), and wasn't amazed by any changes in potency; just the fact that it's all sinsemilla. I did feel silly when I first got back in the market and asked a seller whether or not his product was sinsemilla and he didn't know wtf I was talking about. I quickly found out that was a stupid question... :>)
I remember references to what I thought was the "sense" now I get that was sinsimilla :) Thanks
Yep, that's what it was called. Just Spanish for "without seed". Speaking of Spanish, if we could find Oaxacan sinse we considered ourselves lucky, because it was just about as good as Thai but cheaper. Availability (in my part of Texas) wasn't reliable at all though. Now, it's like going to the weed supermarket. We're living in the future in that sense. Life is good and getting better...
Started smoking back in the 80s red leb ,black.good shit joints or hot knives they rocked.
Yeah bro the stuff with the cloth attached to it, red leb think there was gold leb too it was lovenly stuff. Early 90s.
And green leb. Amazing days. Wasn’t the strongest, but tasted amazing.
We also used to get straws filled with green oil. Either spread some on a rizla or just chase the dragon with it. God knows what it’s done to my lungs.

I was there from 1972-ish, it was mostly pretty good in the Uk depending who you knew, or what grew ;) Avoiding the street ofc.
Most of the pictured weed was grown outdoors on a hillside without fertilisers, boosters and the other shit habitually used today.
I partook in the some of the countries of origin at the time too, thank you Magic Bus. I preferred hash at the time and still do, real Temple Balls were trippy, Leb was a knockout and the black in the Dam was unbelievable and so on. Impossible to get around here, so pleased to have found LB at last!

How did people live with that? With the way weed has gone it's a different world and are kids will think the same as are weed lol
Meh I’d still smoke it. I bet all of these would get you high as a motherfucker. Because you wouldn’t be used to them at all.
If i got any of that in the post I'd probably raise a dispute. Though I did buy thai stick and brick pack in the 90's. Wouldn't mind seeing a picture of the hash scene back then. All the hash bars look the same now. Just with a different picture under the cellophane. Picture looks like it came off someone's home printer. No finesse to hash bars these days.
