Why is it the Chinese have to be the first at everything?

Thanks for the chart. But personally feel its a historical and geographical thing. Historically cannabis is from the mountainous regions of South West China, North India and North East Pakistan, hence why we have hindu Kush. One of the earliest references to cannabis is in Chinese text. Just is, what it is.

lol, ya'll really need to be more academic. No disrespect but the man educated over 3,000 medical professions, so if you happen to believe that such information of this quotation exists, it don't cause it ain't real.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Rush#Religious_views_and_vision

Also, this is not the first time Rush has been misquoted and characterized upon his views.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15981368

Also, here's who Rush really was http://www.szasz.com/freeman7.html piece out some qoutes and tell me this conception is consistent with him?

Whoah, how could he see this in 1789?

Medicine men have used their tricks for power since the 1st civilizations. Still a very impressive prediction though.

Definitely a time traveler

what rush really was saying, read some of his actual quotes http://www.szasz.com/freeman7.html

If it involves life and death you can bet your ass that government will control it and yeah a wizzard cult that administers it like fucked up old IT department.

I think his graph answers your question: Pretty Fuckin Soon

If any AI and robots do the work without getting paid it doesn't sound like we need a whole lot of money.

This. The whole idea of humans working for money starts changing when all of the work is done by AI and robots. Think how different a shared self driving car is to a couple of clunkers parked in every garage on stand by, it up-ends the premise of cars, transport, housing to say nothing of alcohol use, multi-tasking and God knows what else. Now think of everything else being done by robots and you and your friends spending lots of time in VR, it's not like you're going to take off the glasses and work at some factory in this scenario.

It doesn’t sound like we need a whole lot of people more like!

so thats why theres negative interest rates

Don't worry about it, AI will figure it out for us.

But the bottom line is, the corporations that are investing in AI still need to make their profits too. If no one works, no one has money, so how would these corporations stay afloat?

There will need to be some sort of equilibrium - much as (most) humans now realise we can't keep burning Earth's resources, AI systems wouldn't be programmed to make humanity defunct. Not unless the world manages to move away from its capitalist consumerist ambitions; which it won't. We're greedy creatures.

if everything we want is fed by an ai created vr feed we may still be consumers but things gonna be damn cheap.

Read life 3.0 by max tegmark. There is a vast community funded by Elon Musk reseraching AI and its potential as we speak. I wonder if the Simpsons can predict the eventuality that machines could become superior to humans like they did with forecasting Donald Trump as President.

yeah they oughta add an a.i. character for homer to play off of

To understand that, you first have to understand who have control of the world. eventually you find the source being that of the "Red Shield" family. which then gives you their agenda, they see the rest of us as "goyim" having a belief we are to serve them as upgraded animals. So, they have to destroy the existing system to usher in a new having what we term "image of the beast" possibly representing AI as the brains behind their new agenda. We, therefore will enter a stage where the elite/red shield family give a choice to either obey and conform to them or to be hunted down like sheep for slaughter. The ones who accept will receive a mark to accept credits. China recently started this endeavour which fits perfectly with their zionist regime and called it "Social Credit" http://uk.businessinsider.com/china-social-credit-system-punishments-and-rewards-explained-2018-4?r=US&IR=T, however, those who have understanding will flee from their demise into the wilderness for this has been written already. They call themselves Jews but are not (Revelation 2:9) thus the third temple will not be as they claim, possibly even having AI rule over the population whilst the AC rule over their temple.

I think you need to stop smoking so much weed dude... and maybe stop reading so much geopolitical and religious fiction too!

atms resulted in more bank branches and overall, more tellers.

Once the textile loom has finished devastating the working landscape.

Lol the luddites are still operating against the looms as we speak. Especially up North.

For the moment, we are safe. They haven't even managed to get self checkouts working properly yet, so I'm not getting in a driverless car. All it takes is a sensor to fail, and it's game over. I work with sensors - you wouldn't want to get in a driverless car for a long while.


Automation - whole different ballgame, and this is the real fear

Customers that bought this product also viewed "The Crucible by Arthur Miller".

lol, these problems are as old as human nature. Look up the Granny Police in China.

This is accelerating fast, now each user is an informant directly to the police.

Cops arrive faster if you have Prime

crazy but probably true lolz

It's blowing up even as crime is falling.

I'm not so sure this is bad, it beats cops patrolling all the time.

iRacing is my game of choice but I do have an xbox one x if I fancy some casual shooting.

Holy cow, that's a real well looking gaming room mate!

How much did you invest? :P

Probably around £5500, the wheel was £1500 which is the most expensive bit although they are much cheaper these days.

Are you watching the SIM racing with the f1 drivers at the no? Really impressive stuff.

Not really, I've seen some of the YouTube stuff that Lando has done on iRacing with max in the past. It's just a pity the F1 game is so bad.

How much money wasted on gaming instead of buying weed ahah, just joking =)

Big respect!

Just renewed my iracing sub this month, would absolutely love to have a rig even half as nice as that!! very nice setup!

wonder how much slower i am with my single monitor and ancient G25 :D

by the choice of wheel rim i'm guessing you mainly do GT more than open wheel?

I prefer the open wheelers, just never got round to getting a different wheel.

It's quite an old pc, i7 4770k, MSI Mpower mobo, gtx 1080ti.

Yeah, the CPU is quite outdated, but the GTX 1080ti is still rocking!

Everything except the GPU was bought when that cpu was the latest gen. I plan on updating at some point to the current spec but I'm waiting until I can run triple screens at 4k and over 120hz with a single card and then that should be completely future proof.

Old school :)
Japanese Sega mega drive
PS2 chipped
Wii (which is the missus)
Xbox 360 but that's in the bedroom

magnificent

Bro, wtf are you doing with the Xbox in the bathroom? Ahah

I imagine you while sitting on the toilet playing on the Xbox lol

Edit:

Omg, bedroom not bathroom, god I should stop smoking lol

Lmao
I'm in into the new game stuff, fuck that makes me sound old and I'm only in my early 30s lol.
I Xbox is just for a DVD player and zombies + the missus likes it for the DVD so it stays in the bedroom :(
Are world's in are computers are so far apart it's cool.

Best gaming room ever! ahah

For editing more than gaming!

No pc but got enough to keep me entertained lol

Which model is that PS4?

Ps4 pro . All running on a 55 inch 4K tv on my bedroom wall lol

Would you recommend XBOX One or the PS4 Pro?

I’ve only had the ps4 pro for a few months compared to having the Xbox one x for a few years . I prefer the Xbox controller and things like game pass tbh but there’s a couple exclusives I like on ps4 which I’ve been playing a lot more recently

I had the PS4 (non pro version) and sold it, bought just to play The Last of Us and Red Dead Redemption 2 (when wasn't available for PC) but never had an xbox so I'm curious to see what is the opinion from a person who owns both consoles :P

red dead...gorgeous game...i like to camp on a ridge,,watch the sun set...after ive murdered a whole town....sigh

Me too ahah.

The atmosphere is just "wow", soon I'll buy it again for Steam so I can replay it on my PC

you must have dipped yer toe in the.....warzone...?....christ my heart...ive ordered a defibbrilator for it

Sorry mate, but I do not understand what do you mean :/ :P

COD warzone.....its mental

Ahaaa, my last COD was MW 2 asd

I'll watch some gameplays about Warzone maybe I'll like it =)

dude...like isnt an option....epic....is
...ps you'll want over 100gbs...its a monster

this made no sense at all...yes...im super high...whoops

Lul.

You made me curious, I'll watch a gameplay as soon as I can :P

with your set up..wowzers...im no expert but id say your graphics card runs a mean pacman :p

My GPU is not one of the best, but I'll be able to play it at maximum graphic settings (with some minors tweaks at post processing settings) with a stable 50fps (1080p) =)

I’ve been playing Xbox solidly since 360 days so I’m probably a bit biased but the controller and the UI is what I like and a couple exclusives like the forza horizons series which would run amazingly on your rig

I've tried several times the Xbox controller, but does not feel ergonomic, I prefer the controller of the PS4, but maybe these are just personal tastes :P

I think you'll love the new PS5 one too.
Many people I respect hugely rate the Xbox controller, but I've never really felt it -though there are several of them in my house, so I definitely don't hate it!.

I liked the PS4 controller and think they have improved the design considerably for PS5

you said stoned gamers right

I actually prefer to play on my PS5 than my PC, but both get a lot of use.

My PC is pretty recent and bought to create assets (I was a games developer on AAA games for 16 years).

I wont run down all the specs, but the key ones are:

CPU: Intel i9 10900K 64 gig DDR4 ram @3200

GPU: EVGA RTX3090 FTW3 Ultra.

With a £2k GPU it had better run anything @4K Ultra, and it does.

Rather embarrassingly, I usually just roam around in Forza 4 and play PS5 when I want a longer gaming sesh..
This machine is used most for making 3D models, creating fractal artwork, and running my home studio (I played in bands for years and still fancy myself as a musician, lol)

You definitely have a nice rig!

Are you a developer or your job was creating 3D models for AAA games?

I would like to hear your story about your career, sound interesting =)

As stated, when I'm proper baked I reach for the PS5 controller and play as pictured!

warning! clearly an undercover cop (who plays battlefield 3?). they will harvest your locations using the exif data, and failing that the resolution of photos these days is so yuge they will examine them for fingerprints on your rigs left in the dust and white residue. also there's so many emails with this biden dude so vote trump.

Mate. That is fucking impressive. Fair play. Im not a huge gamer anymore as I have a 5 year old too entertain. But there is nothing wrong with gaming. Was stoned the other day though and bought 'Rally 2.0' on my xbox 1 (for an overpriced fee). just to please him for 10 minutes more during isolation. He loves cars. So hes fucking loving it. And actually. Rally games seem to be fun when im bombed? Dont think I've played 1 since my old man got a 1 free with his AST windows 95 pc.
Peace bro.

I loved that on the ps1, my mum and dad would end up taking my copy and spent more time on it then me in the end.

Wow. That looks like a decent set up.
I just play on PS4. Never really got into PC gaming. I'm playing battlefield v and FIFA 20 mostly.
I am absolutely convinced that I am better at FIFA after a smoke.

I love to play RL after a smoke, but I'm too slow and unfocused but the game becomes even more funnier ahah

Recently built my first PC and I'm loving it. I'm not into LED laden rigs myself, I try to keep it conservative but sleek. My machine is a decent entry level rig, Motherboard: ASRock B450 Pro4 | CPU: AMD YD2600BBAFBOX Ryzen 5 2600 | GPU: PULSE RADEON RX 5500 XT 8G GDDR6 HDMI/TRIPLE DP OC W/BP | PSU: EVGA 650 BQ, 80+ BRONZE 650W | HDD: 1x SanDisk SSD PLUS 2 TB Sata III 2.5 Inch Internal SSD, Up to 545 MB/s and 1x 250GB Samsung 860 EVO 2.5" SATA SSD | RAM: Corsair CMK16GX4M2B3200C16W Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4 3200 MHz C16 XMP 2.0

I have over 250 games on my PS4 pro (2 TB HDD) (40 Platinums and counting) loved rocket league, managed to get to D2 in 3's.

Still waiting to get hold of the elusive PS5 :/

Hope you get one soon mate.
I didn't imagine much of an evolution from PS4pro to PS5, but I was wrong and I've been loving it since launch day. Ghosts of Tushima @60hz is a dream and I'm about to play GOW again now that's in 60hz XD

The colours 8)

lol

Im old school with my joints and bongs usually but Im always open to try new things... What do i need to set it up and is everything available on here or should i get some stuff myself?

With ya big time on this one:)

How High with WuTang's Methodman - turns out that name is a reference to acting technique.

Good call. Underrated movie.One that deserves another watch .

How about "A Clockwork Orange." Saw it for the first time at my frat house in the early 80's. It's time for bit of the ole in out in out. Love it.

There's always Reefer Madness. It's pretty damn funny, especially since it was released in 1936. Right up there with masturbation causing blindness and hairy palms. If that was true l would be wearing dark glasses, holding a tin cup begging for enough money to buy a new razor.

I'd like to add The Greatest Showman fucking amazing when you're stoned.

Fear and loathing in Las Vegas

Legend!!!

Agree completely

I've been meaning to watch that after a few spliff for a while now, Yellow Submarine definitely pickles your head too.

Friday

Snatch! Lol got to be one of the best British films ever made

Absolute classic, along with Lock Stock!

Half baked definitely.

The Big Leboski. Great film, music and funny stoner scenes!

Big Lebowski is one of the best.

this!

You want a thumb dude, i can get you a thumb.
An absolute classic. One of my favourites.

This is my favourite

"Interstellar 5555" :) (How can you beat Japanese Anime set to Daft Punk's Discovery for audio/visual, I mean come on seriously?lol)
Also How High, Harold & Kumar, Sausage Party and Your Highness,..

Half baked!

Great choice, haven't seen that in years!!!

Hangover 1,2,3, Pineapple Express, Harold Kumar 1,2,3, This Is The End, Tenacious D, Mac & Devin & many many more <3

I agree with @godzillalien hangover 1-2-3 definitely

Richard Linklaters two rotoscoped classics, "Waking Life" and "A Scanner Darkly" are great to watch when you're baked.

A Scanner Darkly is a great pic. I only learned recently that Phillip K Dick wrote this (along with the book Bladerunner is based on - 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep' and also 'Minority Report' to name but a few. He is the Don of sci-fi.

Some of his early stuff that hasn’t been made into a movie or a tv show is amazing. Think he found god around the early 70s (the acid and weed was good back in the day) and his later stuff is very spiritual. He is the Don !

Fantastic shout! A Scanner Darkly is just stunning.

Anything Philip k. dick related is good for me!

I recommend Abre Los Ojos (Open Your Eyes) which was inspired by Ubik and remade as Vanilla Sky.

Akira, the music and animation is so good. Stoned it's magic.
