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

Personally i use oil of ugly 3 times a day to keep me looking young lol. Age is number think is a mental attitude a well balanced diet, never burn the candles and let them meet, and few good family genes . At end of the day you cant stop time just wake up in morning be happy thats all we can hope far.
'Parabiosis' - also known as vampire facials in Hollywood. Yes that's right, Kim Kardashian has aborted fetus blood rubbed on her face. This is common practice. Loreal also a whole range of more expensive products with this in it. Also 'Blood boys' are a profession. This is a rabbit hole you don't want to go down as usually the source of this blood is disturbing.
yes very creepy when money is traded for life itself but it seems an ethical market is possible as healthy people have a surplus and all the means for extraction and testing are really well established.

#8 Common Ground Is Your Real Estate
A thousand eyeballs from the right audience is worth a million from the peasantry.
There are many communities that play biggy as close as butter did toast. These subreddits and small enthusiast sites welcome what's on offer here, you're doing them a favor and boy are they doing you one.
I have clients that make thousands of dollars each month from surprisingly small sites. Remember each bigga you introduce is your little cash machine for years, every purchase they make earns bitcoin for you.
It doesn't hurt that this is a great place where people like to stick around. Like you they just need to find it.

what do you think of this subreddit?
A very good one,
I would post something interesting you make or just see on the net
1st on your lb page and
then link back to it from the subreddit.
A straight up pitch for lb is rarely the way to go, use specific content that works in your context,
once they are here the place speaks for itself :)

Hi Tod,
Sorry if this dumb questions,
1. Do they have to become a Member?
2. If so must it be at the time of the referral?
3. so say if they come back another day to join through an address that is'nt your referral, would you still get?
4. Is it the same process/pricing for you merchant referrals as purchaser referrals?
5. How much/percentage is a referral for merchant/purchasers worth?
6. What is the payment process?
Many Thanks and namaste for sharing your wisdoms and linguistic flair. :)

to the sellers that stayed online during the blockchain meltdown: STRONGER
wherever there is panic there is courage. hats off to the many sellers that weathered the storm to keep this community strong.
Unfair comment really as all businesses have different situations and end games we know nothing about. It also kind of denigrates any vendor who felt the need to shut up shop for just a few days to suit their own circumstances.
I'll be sure to remind the next self employed person I meet that wanting to actually get paid for the work they do is a sign of weakness. Makes perfect sense that.

Just an observation,but if I told my suppliers,back in the day,that "lm really sorry,but the money I owe you is tied up with these other people,but I can possibly pay you some time soon" I'd have my hands broken.
Dumb and ugly to throw down on anyone who was forced to shut down.

I had a bricky round yesterday to quote me for re-pointing my chimney. It's probably only half a days work but we agreed on £150 cash because it's a risky job getting up there.
After reading all these insightful comments on this thread i've decided i'm not going to pay him.
Instead, when he knocks on the door at the end of the job and asks for the agreed amount of money for the work he's done, i'm going to play some Kanye West, put my hand on his shoulder, look him straight in the eyes and say;
"listen mate, i'm not going to pay you now, you just need to be a bit stronger"
I'll let you know how that one pans out....

to continue your analogy i reckon this bricky has worked with you already, he sees the bank is closed and he does his fucking job rather than leaving it like a bitch.
Tell him you can't pay him because of a fire in China and watch his laughter as he knocks your chimney down. Takes him twice as long though, because he's a fucking good builder :)
Makes sense.
I messaged admin. They sent me a link to the pool. Which I could see for myself was jammed.
That was all the confirmation I needed, and was happy to carry on working.

Totally understand your position buddy but I think the point was to try and push for Litecoin rather than a genuine fear of not being paid in the long run.
Not sure how much further we're getting with the introduction of another currency on here but its long overdue for everyone's benefit, customers and vendors.
Hope you're well and all the best.

not surprised to see most of the og biggaz stayed online, they've seen enough shit with bitcoin to be used to this.
Theyve been through a lot of profit too, bitcoin has skyrocketed and the losses don't compare to the gains.
It's only profit when you've been paid. P.S. really hope no vendor's ended up in a sticky situation with their supplies whilst waiting for money from lb.
lol what an idiot. Vendors started shutting up shop when several of em noticed payments were bouncing. On top of that within 48 hours of a few of us shutting up payments started coming in and much smaller than before. Easy to chat shit when you don't have any skin in the game,

alternative future currencies
"it is not currently possible to directly purchase Monero with credit card"

alternative future currencies
we agree with many of you requesting some alternatives to bitcoin and it is a future we have committed to.
the primary issue is lb buyers easy access to the currency, worldwide. it is still much easier to buy btc, especially with a credit card, than any alternative.
any suggestions on how lb buyers can easily obtain alternative cryptos is helpful at this stage, thank you for them.

thank you for the suggestions. the winner is litecoin. integration with the little biggy order system is pending approval from the dev borg.
we are informed that little biggy will integrate litecoin. we are working on our side of this now. we don't promise dates because we can not launch this on our own, for prices to appear and orders to be recognised we need the little biggy dev borg to add significant code on the lb website and back end.
we also consider the prospect of the next blockchain slowdown, these occurrences create significant work requirements that deter development. this is why we look forward to litecoin more than anyone.

How is this not the most popular thread right now? BTC is going to be unfeasible to use soon as sending fees will rocket. Offering a choice of crypto really needs to happen soon please. And it will only happen with support.
I've never paid more than £1 fee on any trade using bitcoins (well over 5K spent on LB) and completely disagree that its unfeasible.
If biggy wishes to offer another option, no issues as long as the current option remains.
If biggy shifted to another crypto, I would shift my business and simply buy on the dark web where BTC is an option.

Sure,but it's not an either/or choice. LB could offer multiple crypto options. Quite surprised this hasn't been the case.
Anyhow, let's hope this dev borg entity gets his shit together while the website still exists.

My thoughts exactly, it took me ages to find a btc system that works, there is a way round anything and smart adaptable people will always find that way, i guess you get frustrated like me at cry's of new currency, i welcome change as long as btc stays as i like my system and pay around £2 which includes buying btc and sending to vendor, i would not be happy if LB ditched btc either mate.
FROM A FEES AND EASE OF ACCESS POINT OF VIEW LITECOIN AND MONERO SHOULD BE ADDED
BOTH CAN BE EXCHANGED FOR BTC ON MOST WELL KNOWN EXCHANGES OR INSIDE MOBILE WALLETS LIKE COINOMI.
THERE ARE ALSO OPTIONS SUCH AS LOCALMONERO.CO FOR BUYING MONERO DIRECTLY

Unfortunately it would be hard to please everyone with the addition of just one other crypto but it would be a huge benefit to the site no matter,
Speaking as a vendor we have a couple of preferences from a financial point but we are open to change and are happy with the concensus.
As we look at the point of the customer we agree with GF although we don't know how easily available dodgecoin is outside of Europe we know it is accessible without having to purchase btc but as we said we are open to any changes and happy to help with any feedback.
Thank you :)

Please add an alternative currrency, btc is slowing everythinn down, way too expensive to transfer!
Every other market seems to offer monero (XMR) as an option so I'd say LB really needs to add that at the least.
I don't know mate I buy all my BTC via transfer and would prob do same for any other crypto but I think there'll be exchanges that let you top up by cc then buy monero if you can't buy direct by cc.
Main reason I mentioned xmr was just that as well as adding an extra option if it's in use elsewhere then that means there are buyers and sellers using it that might come here if its added.
The key to beating the fee's is options though so be great if they can add a few choices.

Hi. Where are we at with this? A lot of vendors are temporarily closing their stores (myself included).
PLEASE ADD LITECOIN ASAP! we are literally losing customers and vendors by the day.

We think with the problems with the BTC market right now seems the appropriate time to make changes we would always still accept BTC but more options are necessary to continue normal business,
Surely other vendors feel the same and customers seem to be screaming for Monero and Litecoin we have had customers messaging us personally about alternative currencies its very frustrating,
If transaxe is set up for BTC then it can't be to difficult to add additional currencies, the whole team here at CI agree we are willing to do anything in our power to help on our side and we are sure other vendors here feel the same :)

We are in exactly the same boat. We've been trying to cashout since Thursday last week. Unable to move funds from our wallet due to all the unconfirmed transactions sat there from Transaxe, all the while btc prices have dropped from 45k last week to 39k, frustrating doesnt come close!!
We have noticed that the rate all transactions are sent from Transaxe is 15 sats/b. The average rates right now are 234 sat/b for 6 blocks (normally received in 1 hour). There is no wonder the funds aren't confirming and are bouncing back.
From a vendors point of view, something really does need to be done about this sharpish.

It is more then frustrating we do agree but we try to keep calm and plow on LB have said Litecoin is on the way so hopefully these problems will be a thing of the past,
Still very concerning for all the payments we have pending and the addiction funds we have waiting to be released from escrow,
We aren't to clued in at all on the crypto scence so everyones knowledge is priceless it one of the reasons we love this community but something definitely needs to be done now as you say URBANLEAFCO this simply cannot continue for value we have lost on our coin in the past week fees simply could have been increased,
Its now at the stage where we are considering suspending operations until this delay is all sorted which does nothing but effect all parties negatively :/

Thats all we can do, i think i have probably got the support teams at our wallets suicidal these last few days lol.
We're a lot more clued up than we were before this debacle though, its opened our eyes to how much things could be improved. Hopefully this clusterfuck rights itself soon.

Where are we at with this? The problem is becoming greater and I think most people have agreed that Litecoin fits the bill since it is very freely available, very cheap to transact and just generally fits the bill for a p2p payment system. Bitcoin really does not work in that capacity anymore or defintiely not the way it is set up here.
Literally not been able to move my money prior the big dump because of the way transactions are grouped. It is ridiculously frustrating and something I have been complaining about for months. Every other marketplace has an alternative now, this is the only place that doesn't.

thanks for the feedback everyone, we would greatly appreciate direct links to the exchanges that support the currencies you mention.
"please do not use little biggy for external transactions, this results in reputation loss and expulsion"
i get that message when trying to add links. in fact i seem to be getting that mesage for just mentioning exchanges :/

Happened to me too, yesterday when I was trying to make a comment. I tried to offer advice to a newb and mentioned localbtc services and blckchain wallet. I sent a message to happy borg about it.
Please inform us of the timescale involved with the transition. It would be nice to have some idea.
Many thanks

As easy as it is to buy BTC, well known exchanges such as binance, will allow you to convert for free.
You do have the high volatility issue at the moment though until it establishes a stable foothold.
There are many coins that are easily exchanged from BTC, in Europe anyway, am not sure about the rest of the world.

Litecoin is available through coinbase, bit panda, bittylicious amongst many other sources directly using GBP/EUR. Seems to be an obvious candidate which meets the needs of what most people have mentioned here.
I don't even own any LTC currently but it would be super easy to get hold of and I would be fully confident and happy doing so. Hopefully this can get actioned soon as I'm sure most vendors and buyers are miss out on items/sales due to the functionality of BTC atm :(

LB should have the options for BTC, LTC & ETH.. every crypto user can purchase and transfer at least one of these if not all, 100% of all exchanges trade in these currencies, LTC & ETH are much cheaper and transaction fees lower..
I usually buy litecoin and send it to my exodus wallet, transfer fees are just a few pence. Then I convert it to btc usually about 4% cost, then purchase on LB with the btc fee between 5 and 20%. I can purchase litecoin on wirex or bcbitcoin.co.uk, both need photo verification but once that is done its easy. I'm based in the UK.
If you worry other world customers you can still keep bitcoin also add litecoin in for me it just an update , it not hard thing to do right ?
I'm on three exchanges and none of them sells Monero, so please don't use that.
I would vote for LTC as it's as easy to get as BTC.
My preferable currency would be stellar lumens XML, it's super cheap and super quick to transfer

Just press "share" on any topic, person or item and you will get a link that you can share anywhere on the internet. That's it, you are set to share.
While you are doing this we are working too, you instantly get a message from us linking you to your new transaxe account. Whenever you are ready just come over and login so you can add a bitcoin address for us to send your earnings to (don't worry they gather until you do this).
You'll also see that every transaction that you introduce including the blockchain reference. It's completely auditable and despite the anonymity, it's the most transparent referral program on the internet.

Can anybody recommend a good place to share them to? I am a international finance director and I just can wrap my head around this!!! I just found a message from them from transaxe from a while ago about my reference code and I set an account up but now when I follow the link it brings me onto a register page but says I have already registered but there doesn't seem a way to log in.
social media, reddit, your contact list to name a few. you can share a post about economics, or a nice bit of hash depending on your audience.
the transaxe part is just about adding your btc address to collect the btc.
hope this helps.

In order to receive money from the referrals, the ones who clicked on with must also be registered on LB and you'll receive a small % of the paid price whenever they place an order.

Thanks so much. I am on really strong painkillers atm nothing is very clear. I really appreciate your help
Never though to add it as a weblink - lets see if i get the message. Thanks guys
Not sure if it does make an impact but I usually add the URL I want to share as a weblink (in the box under where you write the comment). As I've done on this post :)
You learn something new everyday, just tried this n it worked. Nice1
Its a 1 % of gross on every transaction,

"You'll also see that every transaction that you introduce including the blockchain reference. "
the only word i can see after comment is "edit" and that's after i've commented, the only other word i can click is "save"
got there in the end.!!!!!!! after weeks of banging my head against a wall and doubting my own sanity I have finally sussed out the elusive "share" link. Despite the advice from others I just couldn't see the word "share" anywhere, People even sent screenshots as examples but the word "share" just wasn't there on my screen . I had just about given up ,,,,,and then,,,,,,I turned off my "ad-blocker" that was running in the background and ,,,,,hey presto the word "SHARE" has now appeared .....so if you are having the same problem try turning off ad-blocker..worked for me.

How is Nationalism Any Different from Racism?
I don't want to give preference to someone the same color as me so why should I prefer someone for being born in the same country as me (or worse they are ordained a citizen by some twat)?
Well i'm of dual heritage (my dad was from the West Indies and my mum is English) so my 'British Bulldog' avatar and profile might upset some in this thread, but yeah, i'm proud of all of my heritage.
Racism is very ugly, and you know it when you experience it.
Pride in one's heritage is completely different.
Cheers. BB

It was a joke mate but fuck, Vietnam. Is that what you are comparing Scottish Independence to?
Basically it derives from the same origins. There are certain laws of ethnic relations in history of humankind, such as:
1. law of percentage: lets say a black person somewhere in gothenburg or copenhagen would trigger an amused curiosity and the outpouring of sincere sympathy, however, if you "inject" immigrant workers up to the fateful threshold of 4-8 percent and you will already have a racial situation - the nature of social relationships changes, engendering ethnic tensions, global reflexes painful to describe. The more the percentage increases, the more class struggle transforms itself into racial confrontation. Basically, this percentage is sufficient to make racial discrimination appear spontaneously in people who previously believed itself wholesome and devoid of any racist sentiment.
2. The law of assimilability: If majority and the minority belong to the same large ethnic group (all are white, or all a asian), then assimilation occurs progressively. For example, Spanish or Portuguese workers despised in France not so long ago, integrated themselves into population within the space of one generation; same for descendants of corsicans and the poles during napoleonic era, same for bambara minority living in senegal. But if the ethnic and cultural gap is too big, tensions are exacerbated with time. Like African Blacks and Arabs find themselves in this situation in Europe. Coexistance basically becomes possible only in a truly Socialist state or a state that has adopted a high morality philosophy.
3. the law of distance: like two ethnic groups that are not fighting over the same living space or same market and occupy different territories separated by space can enter into normal relationships. Like that an alliance can be explained during world war 2 between hitlers germany and japan. or relationship of pretoria with israel state.
4. the law of phenotype: basically physical appearance. It would matter little tgat botha and zulu in africa have the same genotype (same genes in the chromosomes) and it would have no influence on their daily lives because their external features are so different.
Laws of class struggle according to history applies only to societies previously made homogeneous by violence. Funny, that the most modern nations actually went through this bestial struggles before (Americas, australia, new zealand, good part of asia, greenland, huge part of pacific, scandinavia, etc, etc).For example Blacks of Americas were brough over to work the land, while the indigenous races were being destroyed. So, the "more advanced" barbarious conquerors exterminated/drove out whole populations, devastated or abandoned productive forces they they simply did not know how to use. This specific law is one of my favourite... how spartan domination ended by crumbling particularly because of the great numeric weakness of their REAL citizens. Because their society consisting of spartan conquerors and lowly helots both belonged to the same large white-skinned 'race', ethnic differences became blurred and it allowed class differences appeared only in an economic sense.
Same goes for Rome and Carthage, Rwanda-Burundi, Francs and Gallo-Romans.

We forget that the passage from a clan to a monolingual tribe and to ethnic group and to nationality historically was a result, a consequences of clans exogamy. It is still widely discussed by specialists. But it marked starting point of the current civilization.

The number of clans to gather together to work a more or less powerful tribe didnt follow any rules and depended mostly on the fertility and extent of the lands occupied by the group. Thus was born nationality.

1. law of percentage: lets say a black person somewhere in gothenburg or copenhagen would trigger an amused curiosity and the outpouring of sincere sympathy, however, if you "inject" immigrant workers up to the fateful threshold of 4-8 percent and you will already have a racial situation - the nature of social relationships changes, engendering ethnic tensions, global reflexes painful to describe. The more the percentage increases, the more class struggle transforms itself into racial confrontation. Basically, this percentage is sufficient to make racial discrimination appear spontaneously in people who previously believed itself wholesome and devoid of any racist sentiment.
2. The law of assimilability: If majority and the minority belong to the same large ethnic group (all are white, or all a asian), then assimilation occurs progressively. For example, Spanish or Portuguese workers despised in France not so long ago, integrated themselves into population within the space of one generation; same for descendants of corsicans and the poles during napoleonic era, same for bambara minority living in senegal. But if the ethnic and cultural gap is too big, tensions are exacerbated with time. Like African Blacks and Arabs find themselves in this situation in Europe. Coexistance basically becomes possible only in a truly Socialist state or a state that has adopted a high morality philosophy.
3. the law of distance: like two ethnic groups that are not fighting over the same living space or same market and occupy different territories separated by space can enter into normal relationships. Like that an alliance can be explained during world war 2 between hitlers germany and japan. or relationship of pretoria with israel state.
4. the law of phenotype: basically physical appearance. It would matter little tgat botha and zulu in africa have the same genotype (same genes in the chromosomes) and it would have no influence on their daily lives because their external features are so different.
Laws of class struggle according to history applies only to societies previously made homogeneous by violence. Funny, that the most modern nations actually went through this bestial struggles before (Americas, australia, new zealand, good part of asia, greenland, huge part of pacific, scandinavia, etc, etc).For example Blacks of Americas were brough over to work the land, while the indigenous races were being destroyed. So, the "more advanced" barbarious conquerors exterminated/drove out whole populations, devastated or abandoned productive forces they they simply did not know how to use. This specific law is one of my favourite... how spartan domination ended by crumbling particularly because of the great numeric weakness of their REAL citizens. Because their society consisting of spartan conquerors and lowly helots both belonged to the same large white-skinned 'race', ethnic differences became blurred and it allowed class differences appeared only in an economic sense.
Same goes for Rome and Carthage, Rwanda-Burundi, Francs and Gallo-Romans.

Interesting points. I just came across this forum and will make a contribution. Meanwhile, on the topic of Scottish Nationalism, I have myself proposed Independence For England! We English (whatever that means through consensus) vote in a referendum to dissolve the union of England and Scotland. Never mind what they want, how about what we want, which may be to separate from them, along with the subject nation of Wales. We'll have our own oven ready breakfast and our own national covid death toll, while we surrender the last shreds of our integrity to the fucking Yanks and the fucking Chinese whose government leaders wouldn't make the groove as a couple of Pox Doctor's clerks.
Please dont have the idea that all Scots want independence
. Plenty are and always will be happy to be part of the union. There is more at play than just Scottish Independence, certain elements see Scottish independence as a means to help another cause. Understand that Independence of Scotland is not the endgame for a lot of SNP supporters.

High Raskolnikov. Your post showed as a comment on mine so You're addressing me, then. I have no intention of stating anything about what Scots want. My point is that I consider an English Independence Referendum is incumbent on ourselves to determine our Englishness without the input of the other three nations. Devolution, revolution, phooey! We want ablution. Wash our hands of the lot of you. Do we? Who does? Has anyone got this underway? Sturgeon and Salmond? Something fishy about those two!
I am British not Scottish or Welsh or Irish or English but British.
So the idea of England going on its own is kind of laughable.
I prefer this great country as one nation,I have lived all over UK so I class myself as British. Ever since devolved countries we had loads of petty arguments enough of the arguments and do there jobs.
The Scottish independence route will end up like n ireland scottish people are divided straight down the middle so can see issues battle grounds comes to mind bombings etc etc just like n ireland AND its not going to happen anyway thank god.:D
Or you english going be invaded of all the people that do not want there countries independent lol.
Plus the Queen will never allow it to happen she is still the most powerful lady in this country and can override any laws in the UK set by government it is in the small print when she signed it over to the government. She has her palaces all over the UK.
She wants to send to her son to America to answer for the crimes he is guilty as fk otherwise he would have gone over and answered there questions on very serious sex crimes.
Guilty as fk he is by dodging the request of the FBI and CIA law to himself hiding behind mummy he is.
I am British loud and proud !!!

I’m British and Scottish mate. Think it is possible to be both. I’m not interested in Independence and believe it will not happen and will be a disaster if it does. In Scotland Salmond courted a certain block vote and got it. That is what has got the snp to where they are. That and shortbread tin thinking. They will soon want to let over 14 s vote. As I said in another post, Scottish Independence is not the endgame for a lot of snp.
I wouldn’t blame the English people if they started to see things this way but we are still all better as a union and I think you know this. Sturgeon and Salmond are just typical politicians mate who lying is a big part of the job description. There has been a huge change in Scotland in my lifetime where the working class vote has moved away from labour to the snp. Labour has shot themselves in the foot so many times but also the snp politics has changed. I have been on this earth a long time and the snp have changed so much. Sturgeon is still using her bloody daily briefing up here to try to indoctrinate the nation. I’m going to stop here as I am ranting.
Sturgeon's manifesto was just a wish list, impossible to accomplish. I don't want Scotland to leave. We may rib each other on things but I'd like to think we have each others back when things get tough. We live on the same island. Crazy to break up.
Not English, then. To be born an Englishman is to win first prize in the lottery of life. That life being the infliction of Imperialism on 25% of the world's population. Nothing wrong with that, was there?
Scotland's nationalist party don't want to exclude races, they want independence from another countries rule. It's not about racism.
lol. ok, i'll bite...
nationalism is a term for those with common interests as citizens of the same country working together for mutual benefit and/or pride.
racism is a hatred of one or more person/s where skin colour is the basis used for the defining attribute.
neither is mandatory last I heard.

a lot of nationalists aren't so much racists as exclusionary. they believe in a social contact that only exists amongst members. outsiders are not part of the deal.
Just like you would naturally have a preference for feeding your own family in your own home, before you concerned yourself with feeding anyone else.
This would not mean you hated other people, or didn't wish the best for them.
I think Nationalism is often confused with extreme Right wing ideologies, when it could be Left or Right really.

Yes you could look into the SNPs distant past or alternatively you could look at what the Tories are doing right now as we speak under your very nose.
It is funny how a conversation about nationalism is related to the SNP when anyone with eyes can see that British nationalism is the one being pushed everywhere in Britain.
The SNP didn't spend 2 million quid on a set of blue curtains and two Union Jacks and it is not the SNP who are plastering everything with the Butcher's apron either!

Proper kettle of fish this one! but I couldn’t resist throwing my 2 cents in.
Racism is an inherent belief that one group are superior to another based purely on membership to said group; that for example being white would mean that you are superior to non-whites by virtue of your whiteness. Although this is of course the most common example, it’s important to remember that racism has been perpetrated by, and against, a multitude of groups such as the current situation in China with Uighur Muslims and so on.
Nationalism is the identification with ones nation and the desire to see that nation succeed. often, but not exclusively, to the detriment of other nations.
One can be a nationalist but not a racist, but I would argue that it’s quite rare to meet a racist who is not also a nationalist.
I don’t think nationalism is always a bad thing - we saw for example at the onset of COVID-19 in Europe a large degree of nationalism as all of these countries that are part of the Schengen Agreement suddenly conveniently ignored the treaty in order to shut their borders and protect their citizens (uselessly, as it turned out) against the spread of C19.
However, nationalist sentiment needs to be controlled carefully because the downside to it could be seen, you could argue, In the Capitol siege/riots on January 6th as nationalist fervour tends to spread and morph very rapidly and almost always ends in violence and almost always ends in Fascism
Sorry for the wall of text but this is such a fascinating topic!

Because we can change our nationality as it’s make believe. You cannot change your DNA which is real
Racism is necessarily exclusionary. But Nationalism isn't.
In general I am wary of nationalism, but there are times when it has achieved positives.

There seem to be a prevailing perspective of an individualistic view on what racism is, i.e. the hatred or superiority of another race, nation, or ethnicity, however this view is overly simplistic as racism is structural and systemic and is only dependent on the individual when their actions are supported by the larger system.
One can be xenophobic, discriminatory and/or prejudiced against others from other places without it being racism if they are not the dominant race/ethnicity/or culture.
Racism = power + prejudice. That is the current understanding and definition of racism in social sciences and some dictionaries (as with Merriam Webster, which was updated two or three years ago). That is not to say that racial prejudice or discrimination is allowable or tolerable. It's not. However to quantify both types of prejudice (the one that is solely individual and the one that is supported by systemic structures) as the same thing or equivalent is false.
One is an individual opinion and has no greater repurcussions than that person's world's or actions, the other however plays into a wider narrative of oppression that reinforces the structural oppression and contributes to and reinforces societal and structural discrimination.
Nationalism is different in several ways.
Firstly, pride in ones nation does not mean an inherent prejudice or discrimination against those that come from other nations (although all too often it does manifest in such a way).
Secondly, if those expressing nationalist sentiment are not the dominant authority over said nation, then it is not racism but discrimination and prejudice as they lack the power to manifest that discrimination through institutions or on a structural scale. This type of nationalism often manifests as a resistance to colonial and imperial forces. In those cases the nationalism is not being the of an ideological superiority or innate belief in the dominance of one nation over another, but rather a resistance to such.
Therefore nationalism and racism only become the same when said nation propogates their dominance and superiority over others while simultaneously systemically oppressing other nations or supporting existing structural oppression and prejudice.

im always impressed by the expertise around here so im wondering if someone can explain what cannabis testing exists and how it works:
eg how do impurity tests work for edibles?
how is thc measured exactly?
what other tests exist?

thc/weight is measured by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). basically they measure light absorption from cannabinoids.

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.
