Demand Is Setting Prices
Demand Is Setting Prices
This is an open and competitive marketplace, anyone can sell and with a little momentum from reputation can build a leading position on the site. Since I've been here I've seen the leaders change many times and they are never much more than a year old, usually much newer.
So I was thinking why isn't someone undercutting price now now? The site offers better rewards to a seller than ever because more people are buying more cannabis with all the bloody isolation adjustment.
But that's exactly the problem, demand is overwhelming supply. The lead time for production is months and even if someone can overcome the logistics challenges of covidworld they cant bring significant supply to change the price.
My solution is more efficient consumption, I'm vaping my stash instead of using my pipe. Contraption cost me a bit but with my use it pays for itself within a month or 2 which is probably what we need to see conditions normalise a bit.

Further, that may be why, because availability seems to be wearing thing for the short term at least. And that sounds like a good route forward for people, and in time people could potentially clock onto that in mass, and the industry could change, though I doubt it as hopefully things will be back to normal by New Year.
With you on the vaping. Also better for session smoking. The only other way is to buy larger over smaller quantities.. which isn't as easy with supply more limited. Cheapest I've found and can vouch for lately is some chemdawg og from a new seller https://littlebiggy.org/link/RQ184r
Im not sure about the economics but vaping makes it too impulsive for me, like if I just want to clear my mind there it is, and there it is again...
A more practical explanation rather than the daft paradigm of big boss's colluding around a table in a dark room to keep up the prices and slow the distibutiond, and Lol at the first comment.

UK biggaz How You Buying Your Bitcoin?
UK biggaz How You Buying Your Bitcoin?
I'm looking for a new provider as Coinbase bothers me on a few levels.
Bit panda as well you can use normal bank or credit cards if u want less traceability but need photo id
Yes, Coinmama is good, once verified, it's very easy to buy Bitcoin etc for a newbie!,
Usually complete after 20 mins via CC payment. I didn't realise it was so simple..
Usually complete after 20 mins via CC payment. I didn't realise it was so simple..
BittyLicious, pretty much instant transactions and ID verification was only a few hours, site looks shady as but I've had no problems using my bank account to buy my coin there. Not sure how much more their fees are as I haven't used any other method to buy coin. Bitpanda kept refusing my ID and didn't try coinbase as I've heard they keep suspending people's accounts.
What bothers you about Coinbase if you don't mind me asking buddy? I only ask as I just started using them, lower fees than BTC.com who I currently use?
bitquick.co was good for my 1st transaction because i didnt have my ID handy and they do up to $400 without it. fast but dear.
I spend the entire week trying to set up exchanges and wallets. I initially registered with coinbase because most say they are reliable and easy to use. Coinbase somehow did not work for me. Coinmama refused my verification (no idea why). After several attempts with others I finally managed to get it all to work with Binance to buy the BTC and an Exodus wallet. I just placed my first order here so I assume that combination works ok. Phew
Agree with the guys below... BitPanda is very good. You can also try BittyLicious, the rates are a bit higher but pretty instant. SpectroCoin is another OK site.
I would have to say Bitpanda, especially for anyone new to buying Bitcoin. Check out a review here: https://littlebiggy.org/link/ZuuQR4
and a bonus 10 dollars bills for new users

I'm sticking with Coinbase for now. That "Earn rewards" feature at the top netted me a free bag of weed, so not complaining yet, even if Coinbase does have a couple of slightly annoying quirks.
Bittylicious to Wirex wallet.
Used to use just Wirex and it was so easy but then they decided not the play ball with anything associated with Lloyds Bank.

Ive come to really like Jaxx, took a few uses to get used to,
but it works well

I am a bit hassled by Coinbase, although purchasing is easy. I use a separate wallet for my LB purchases... Never can be too careful ;)
Download the etoro app you need photo id then just buy bitcoin as a trading stock with the amount you have put on there with your debit card or linked to your paypal then it allows you to move the bitcoin to a etoro wallet and from the wallet you can send it where you want, simple as that.

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.

Same issue for me and a lot of other users. Tried different browsers, VPNS, ip locations, accounts, clear net, society net.
Item wall does not load regardless of these.

Yes issue is continuing. Overall sales are down on the site probably because of this. Hopefully they fix it soon.
If people commenting would engage with the LB IT Borg that has asked for information about your various issues then maybe that could help with a resolution? It's working fine for me.

Cancelled order
Hi, I’m looking for some help with an order issue. I initially cancelled an order, but then later went ahead and paid for it anyway. The vendor has since told me that, as it was cancelled I will be refunded by transaxe.However, I haven’t received any refund yet.

Is anyone else experiencing radio silence from theses guys - even after ordering? 2 carts have apparently been sent but no sign a week later. They are normally so so good - any idea what’s going on?
I'm in the same boat. Waiting on two carts marked as sent on 13th April. No reply after two messages.
No carts on sale at the moment either. Just batteries.
As you say, they are normally really good, and I think still the best product available in the UK, so it's worrying.
I guess we have to hope that whatever problems they are having get sorted and that we get some info soon.
Anyone know a good alternative if not?
I've tried a good few on LB but none were close to G6's quality.

I’ve tried dr distallite in the meantime and the carts aren’t as good / strong as g6.
I too hope they can replace whatever is going on. But it’s been like this for a few months now so I’m not hopeful.

Back in the day people would use posters, fliers and stickers to promote. Targeting? That was done by hood.
You know a place or 2 where learning about little biggy would make you a missionary sent by God. Put up a few stickers around there with your referral link. Then watch the money pile up anonymously.

I really like this idea, there's a "high" street near me with 2 head shops and I'm always thinking if only they knew what i knew :)
But I'm not a graphic artist and I sure don't want to bring this project to one, any ideas?

Sometimes you wind up in a place you never wanted to go .. and it rocks.
Montenegro, Albania, Slovenia, Romania, Gambia, Israel
wasn't really enthused as these were all group trips but fucking hell they were all sick. You could tell em you were going to Somalia and i would probably go with you nowadays, the world is vast, interesting and beautiful

Romania is fantastic👍….Transylvania genuinely spooky…lively and young street drinking culture…stunning women (all vampires obvs)…
I'll second that. I travelled from Cornwall to Bucharest by train last year, them onto Bulgaria. Romania is bloody stunning, especially as the train line followed the Danube and you could see across into Serbia.
krakow poland exemplifies many eras of europe with castles, squares and poignant reminders of ww2. the people are very friendly and the salt mines are a wonder of the world - the spot in the pic is carved out of salt hundreds of feet below ground.
Vietnam or Laos. Vietnam blew me away. Favourite spots were Hoi An, Tay Ninh and Can Thó. Stunning.
Please god don’t leave the city centre/Cape Town it’s like a different world outside of the capital but I’m from Cape Town ( originally) it’s actually a very western cosmopolitan place like London with a cool “woke” downtown full of expensive bars and Islington/camden style living.
It’s also on the beach with a Mediterranean style climate 1 hour from most national park and safaris.
Despite what you hear in the new it’s actually a pretty good place to live

I was lucky enough to work on festivals/concerts and did a tour of Denmark that place surprised me really nice people, amazing beaches , also the outer Hebrides had amazing beaches
Kolkata. Didn't expect to like it. It is now my favourite city. So intense. Wonderful people. Great food. Amazing architecture.
West Co Kerry, Ireland. All along the wild atlantic way, Kenmare, Sneem, Glenbeigh, Killarney to name a few stops. So many good spots to stop, fire one up or have a pint and enjoy.
Honestly County Clare in Southern Ireland, my uncle married an Irish girl and moved there.
It really is like father ted there, your neighbours not for miles but you go into the local village and it’s just five pubs all joined on to each other.
The friendliest people I’ve ever met, it almost made not having anything to smoke for a week bearable…almost.

New Zealand is easily the most beautiful place I've ever been. Absolutely stunning. I wasn't particularly excited about going there at first, I thought it would be a bit boring, but after spending a few days on the North Island I completely fell in love with it. I even considered living there for a while.
We drove down from Auckland to Wellington and must have taken thousands of pictures. It's breathtaking. Probably the best two weeks I've ever spent abroad in my life.
When we left Wellington we flew to Melbourne, Australia, (which i was really excited about visiting) and it has to be the single most overrated city on the planet. Couldn't wait to leave. Absolute dump.
Funny how these things turn out sometimes!
Just my opinion though. No offence Melbournians 😉
Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

I didn't, but oddly enough my phone did!
I left it on the plane from Wellington to Melbourne which flew back to Christchurch where the airport staff found it and mailed it to Aus for me. So my phone has been to more places around the world than I have!
I definitely plan to go back and visit the south island, I've heard only great things. Its such a long way away though or I'd go there all the time.
24 hour flights.... 😒

I’d love to visit NZ, I can speak a bit of Maori because I used to play online with some Maori mates and they’re some of the nicest down to earth people I’ve ever met
Considering it’s just a ferry ride they are completely different worlds…north is all sheep, rolling plains, and long beaches.. South is mad glaciers, extreme sports & penguins…just crazy 🤩👍
Kampot in Cambodia, went for a week last year and stayed for 3 months.
Beautiful scenery, can blaze pretty much anywhere in most western owned restaurants and bars at least. 50cent beers and a wacky expat crowd. Going back later this year too hopefully for a year 😜

Yup, Cambodia is my favourite. There's a hostel (or was) that sells (or sold) very tasty burgers also pre roles and edibles.

If you’re South Asia bound , Laos although has a clear tourist path nowadays very easy to leave it , Borneo for amazing wildlife that if we carry on will probably be gone in a few years, Hampi in india like being on a weird cross between Mars and ancient civilizations , jailsalmer india again ancient city, for the smokers the himilayas in india
Have to say some great picks in this convo the one for me personally is cornwall on a warm clear night the sky is amazing to just be at one with nature and look up at it ;)

what comes after the web?
This.
Decentralisation, rebirth of the concept of governments and banks (stores of value and loans of value), the internet of money, the exchange of favours peer to peer, the recognition of favours, global decentralised online democracy, micro businesses go parabolic, communities become self sufficient, govts lose control. Its happening.
True though. example..I cashed out £3k yesterday just for posting on a crypto sub on reddit for a few years, 3-4 posts a week.. erc20 rewards. I use brave browser which offers free anti tracking, https upgrades, ad free browsing (inc youtube) and it pays as you go with BAT token. It covers my premium netflix monthly subscription and costs nothing.

I've read about this before bud but never decided to do it as I felt it would be too little. Can you explain more about it, i'd love to know with regards of how active you actually were. its a very clever idea. did you pay for brave or was it free? I'll go check it out thanks for sharing :D
We bio engineer ourselves into organic super computers, harness the planets electromagnetic field as a server and live as gods in virtual reality.
but it won't be 'us' providing this world, it'll be engineered and controlled by a select few people who will have total control over everyone
ai has been in control since the 19th century, we are working for the machines, not vice versa
the corporate curated a.i. justified brave new world feed that makes you yearn for the good old days of google
Web 5. Decentralisation of personal data. Anonymity. Buyers Markets. People realise phones arent phones and just tracking chips that post spam in your face all day so we go back to mp3 players that make calls. We reverse the inversion and regain the ability to tell human from computer and truth from fiction again.
Humanity cannot progress or achieve the things we used to while big data has us pinned down with the technology and the mind games, constantly draining every penny we have. We're so busy trying to create money with our bare hands to pay off the debt they are creating that we can't get anywhere and never will.
People are working to take apart that system as we contemplate.
For now at least we have LB.

It seems more than ever the Old guard sees the next wave coming and is way more on top of it than previous leaders. this alone makes it interesting
a dildo in the face one in the butt and a fleshlight on the cock, they will convince you you are a real person and you work for onlyfans, but there will be millions of you all stacked up as far as the eye can see.
Cybernetic implants that turn you into a computer then we will go too far and try and turn the planet into a super computer and blow ourselves up again and it will be back to painting on cave walls.
Neural net will likely be next. You will see the net when you want in your own eyes. Real time everything. No screens, no devices except inside you.
When the web is fully developed, all endpoints interconnected and in harmony, I usually walk right into it and get it stuck in my hair.
Reticulum is looking really promising on the privacy decentralized web front, a whole cryptography based network stack:
https://reticulum.network/
Early days, but a lot of bits going on there:
Reticulum > network stack (similar TCP or UDP)
LXMF > message protocol (similar POP or SMTP)
RNode > a long range data radio (similar wifi access point) that you can build easily with $20 hardware and start building a mesh network
Sideband/MeshChat/NomadNetwork > full featured messaging clients
Crap name tho! :) Needs more marketing

Hahahaha, I actually like Elton, well as much as a straight man can but that made me laugh man.
Fairground simply red, gives me violent thoughts of grabbing mick by his flowing red curls and bouncing his head of every hard surface available. Total pissflap
Yeah anything by Simply Red can give me Forrest Whittaker eye but Fairground is especially bad
And imagine being called Eileen when it came on down the pub back in the day…. Poor cow needed 3 packs of baby wipes.
Too many but Will Smith - Wild Wild West has got to be up there surely. It’s like some record execs put a gun to his head and said ‘Dance bitch!’
Do you think they did it again to willow ? I whip my hair even for a 13 year old was fucking awful
that movie had so much going for it and they still blew it, would make a better series than a lot of shit
Nothing Compares to You by Sinead Depressing Cunt O'Connor that song has the warmth and charm of a dead Rat lying next to a used Tampon.
That Barbie girl tune, need I say why! Lol
And the “grandma I love you” tune, showing my age! Lol
And the “grandma I love you” tune, showing my age! Lol
Ok you win… The grandma I love you song was fucking horrendous, then they felt the need to create the sequel… Grandpa I love you… I mean we got the message the first time.
written and produced by herbie flowers, one of the greatest session musicians of the late 60's and 70's (google him - he's was an amazing musician and played bass on many of the greatest recordings of the era from lou reed, scott walker, david bowie, t rex, bryan ferry, many more) who was sick of getting paid session rates and living in a two bed semi in ditchling while everyone who employed him got super rich so came up with the st. winifred's school choir records as a retirement plan, possibly also as revenge against a cruel, unjust and uncaring world/record buying public and maybe a bet with lou reed that he could make something even worse than metal machine music and still get it to number one.
you are right though, they are truly the worst songs ever recorded.

Lol. She is a liar too, when that Leo chap drowned in the ice, his heart certainly didn’t go on….
Watch this with your sound on, and I think you will agree no further explanation is required.
Bruno Mars.
"When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are"
My question is - how many faces did he previously change to suit his needs. He's amazed he found someone who's face doesn't need rearranging. This man is a psycho folks.

Keane - Bedshaped.
Stupid, depressing lyrics that make no sense at all.
Bedshaped? That'll be a bed then...
I hate it because it reminds me of the two weeks I spent crawling around a 20 inch deep subfloor void for 8 hours a day, doing timber treatments on a huge old house.
That shit was on the radio every 20 mins for the whole time we were there.
Scarred me 🙉

Steppin' Out by Joe Jackson. Ain't rock, ain't disco, can't dance to it without looking like Steve Martin doing a retarded dance.
If you really want a contender for worst song, you need to listen to Taylor Swift Gorgeous. The song composition and the lyrics seem like they were written by a child.
Also majority of her songs. She did a cover of September by earth wind and fire that haunts me... She turned funk into folk what the actual fuck.
hahaha.. funny to see Zeppelin here because it did occur to me too . Seems like everybody has to adore their music :P
I forgot all about this,Hey plenty of Zepp stuff is fine but that song really gets my goat the first time i heard it i never knew who it was my missus had been putting cd's in the laptop and they kept getting synched to my ipod it came on random one day and i just went wtf is this shit before looking who it was, it sounds to me like a holiday camp band doing reggae.
All musicians steal mate and say they were inspired. A lot of that era were the same. Keith Richards does it. Don’t think that takes away from them as musicians.
Cool, mine too. Sometimes I feel like the great Alan in your photo speaking to younger people. AHA. I was sick with laughter when he got hit with a cow. Steve coogans characters are genius. All the way back to the calf family
as a punk i was always compelled to hate led zep, it was a mistake, i still hate most classic rock still (with merit now) but these guys were really in a class by themselves.
I’m too nice to downvote as maybe that’s how you feel but seriously? The band who gave us in my time of dying can never be fuckin awful.

Driving my girls in my car when they were younger they always put the radio on. I'm fine with that but I had to insist on three strict rules. 1. No Phil Collins; 2. No UB40; and 3. No Starship "We Built This Fucking City". I consider myself a pretty mellow guy but if the station wasn't changed when any of them came on I could change into a raging beast.

YAY!!! Glasgow was also the first city to name Mandela a freeman. At the time the british goverment were calling him a terrorist.
Glasgow is a rare place where people will help you and fight for what is right against all odds.

What was your favourite age?
theres always a square 2 bigga or maybe even a (family) circle, love and time can do that
What was your favourite age?
(High thoughts)
When you look back in time, what year is the one year you would go back to in your life and happily relive again ?
How old were you? What are some of the best memories? I think my second year of university was an unforgettable year 😂 I definitely took it for granted and would love to go back

The time period after my GCSE's. Innocent but not so innocent. No responsibilities except selling weed, chasing girls and playing football
Exactly this lol I can never forget that year, GSCE finish early so nice long summer, completely free doing the stuff you mentioned
Honestly? Probably like 2 years ago when my current relationship was the best thing ever. It's rough now and I would give anything to have that back
Now…the past is the past,I’ll always enjoy life now,know matter what’s happening even though I’m early fifties 😄
16, one year before the last year of high school. Living in Switzerland during summer, eating mushroom chocolates, hitting bongs of Swiss Dank, swimming in Bodensea and being lost beyond belief. Ahh, the Swiss dream... :)
16. No doubt. 1996. Just finished my GCSE’s. Was in the 1st 11 school football team and we’d won the Surrey cup. Had a beautiful girlfriend who was that teenage first love. Brilliant football summer with Euro 96, (Sheringham, shearer and Gazza). Being British felt awesome (not like it does now). Amazing music. Massive oasis fan and knebworth was about to happen. All my mates together with their girlfriends. Drinking, smoking fags and soap bar ;) Had got into rave and hardcore and went to lots of little rave house parties. Absolutely magical. It’s my absolute happy golden place.
When I was 12, I had a 10 week break between going to middle school and secondary.
I lived on a new estate still being built among the woods, so there was plenty of material laying about for building dens, and plenty of unfinished buildings to climb on or mess about in.
We built fires and cooked sausages, drank the odd beer, smoked the odd fag and handed around dirty magazines. We genuinely thought we were the shit 😂.
The dens never lasted long as they either got pulled down by locals or rival kids, but that was all part of the fun. I even managed my first kiss and fondle that summer.

I thought I was 27 for 3 years - woke up on my 30th birthday and was completely ok with that. Just didn't fancy 28 & 29 that's all 🙄
1995 young free single and no children. Going to the Arches and sub club,my weekend started on a Thursday and finished on a Sunday afternoon.Dancing for hours on end not a care in the world.Good memories of crazy weekends Always saying never again but always back out Thursday night
The minute I grew up and found out the cruelty of the real world was the minute the fun stopped.
I know that sounds heavy and I always answer these types of questions like this, I got diagnosed as Diabetic when I was 11, mum died , up until I was 17 my dad and me were bumping heads and I hated it (not linked to my mum I was adopted my birth mum died) I had times after where good stuff happened but I feel like I got dragged through maturity quickly because loads of stuff went to shit because of bad luck In life, my dad used to get pissed and just rent every night about needing to grow up and make money, came in the night before my 13th birthday bladdered and went “you’ve got copied video games for your birthday you’re a man now so do you need to do silly birthdays ?” And it went on from there.
Struggled hard as a kid, was very clever but could NOT wrap my head around things and did what I could, got to uni after winging it for years and failed miserably, went from hated job to hated job and here I am now at 31.
Got my own mortgage , beautiful amazing wife and a baby due in 3 months but I’ve had a wall in front of me for so many things for years that I’ve never been able to explain or get past, the depression for the last 12 years where no treatment, meds or CBT has helped has made me so cynical, jaded and overall angry and disappointed with myself.
I looked at a diagnosis for ADHD in my early 20s and got dismissed as a young man after Ritalin and after 11 YEARS on the NHS register with nothing and 4 on two private lists I was finally diagnosed 2 months ago and started medication ten days ago.
Decided to tell my dad about it last night he linked a daily Mail article saying it’s a myth so I spent two hours disproving everything that article said and he basically just said “You’re fine as you are you’re just anxious “ I’m not anxious.
So the meds are supposed to be working now but you can’t mix it with other stimulants like coffee and I drink about 4 pints of coffee or energy drinks a day to stay awake, same for weed apparently conflicts with the tablets which I smoke daily and alcohol (drink when I get the chance to feel chill).
So even though I’m on meds and titration to see what dose works for me I’m drinking on holiday, was assigned them maybe last Monday? Had to get my Bichon put down on Tuesday he had kidney failure and it came out of nowhere and because he was so silly and daft still it broke my heart to watch the life leave his eyes even if it was the right thing to do, so I’ve got grief, depression and drinking all on at the go when I’m meant to be seeing if these tablets stop me losing my temper at the smallest change.
Sorry for ranting, this wasn’t even the question I’ve just listed off everything wrong with life. Just needed to get it off my chest it’s been brutal lately.
My answer though, probably 17 to early 20s. First time getting my feet out into the world, I was a little geek until I was about 15 until I started coming out of my shell and really capitalised on that from 17 haha tried a lot of new things did a lot of new stuff but ultimately I wouldn’t relive any of it, just trying to do my best now for the sake of my soon to be daughter and don’t want to be freaking out because I can’t handle her crying so meds it is.
It’s funny, they were only really prescribed at this crucial point because if I hadn’t had meds at this point (been getting told for 6 months it’s a few weeks away) my fear of not being equipped to be a man let alone a dad would have probably been causing me to have a mental breakdown at this point.
I don’t want anyone to think I’m asking for pity, I’m not I’ve survived this long and will keep surviving but I think all your choices in life have clearly led us to where we are now, and even though I’d love to be back getting a blowjob and a stripe and feeling like I’d finally gotten free, the lessons I’ve learned from them have taught me some very important life lessons.
Cheers

Mate. Sounds like you've got lots on and are spooning out about becoming a dad. Take a breath, it'll all be good. Help your wife with the practical things so she can concentrate on the baby and everything else will follow. My dad's a cunt and it made me a great dad. You'll be grand.
When I was 14 some local flats were getting demolished and me and friends went there everyday for the summer the holidays I think for two years actually it took so long we had free run of the place broke through the roof and everything lol
Honestly, it's hard to pick. Life is unique, precious and fragile. We can't go back, only forward. So, I'd say now, purely because we've made it to the fucking future!
For me personally, I'd go back to a time before My kids had been brainwashed against me. So maybe 4-5 years ago, was a happier time for me. I took it for granted and life made me pay the price hard. 4 years later and 1 run through family court I'm still at square one.
Honestly, I'd give anything to have my kids back, but I am starting to accept I probably never will and one day I'll be fine with that, just not today.
Big love biggas 💚

Definitely my first year of uni!
But I’d also like to revisit my 20’s.. the youthful, handsome young me didn’t live life to the fullest back then and it is one of my biggest regrets now that I’m creeping into my 30’s.

Probably 23.
I was heavily into a full blown career path and doing well but taking life far to seriously and had this terrifying vision of the next 30 years just flying past. On a whim I jacked it all, sold up (had my own flat!), headed to Corfu and bought a bar. One Monday morning I was chilling on the beach in the sun realising I would normally have been sitting on the M25 in the rain. Although I was there for 5 years that moment really hit hard. Amazing!

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.

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

I absolutely live and breathe 90s hiphop, so if I could start from the top, I'd probably go with GZA from the Wu-Tang Clan, Mobb Deep and Pete Rock.

Just diving in because it's a music thread and I'm crazy about music. That said I love all kinds from blues to classical, from jazz to opera, and of course hard rock, synth, pop, soul and everything else - apart from rap. The one music genre that does absolutely nothing for me. Bought the 12" of "The Message" by Grandmaster Flash when it was released and still have it. And that's pretty much where it started and then ended for me...apart from the Fugees doing "Killing Me Softly", but that's all about Lauryn Hill, which is another story.
I'd like to add edubble
Idk if anyone knows of him but he was a absolutely great rapper. Shit always added a kick to my step
Sadly passed away from cancer a good few years ago now. Rest in peace 🙏

When Sean Connery's Brother Played James Bond's Brother
In Operation Kid Brother, a spoof that was easily one of the strangest attempts to knock off the Bond franchise that had ever come before a camera.
I ran after Sean Connery’s brother thinking it was actually Sean Connery once. Was pretty awkward, he was cool about it though.

Cartman is hilarious. South Park is the only thing I’ve loved since it started and still watch now at 42. We should start a Cartman clip thread.
One of the things I love about lb is its a race free zone. You can say you are color blind IRL but here its an existenital condition.

Eminem ft Royce bad meets evil haha. The chorus is what nails it for me.

A lady that i know just came from columbia,
She smiled because i did not understand.
Then she held out some marijuana, ha ha!
She said it was the best in all the land.
And i said,
"no, no, no, no, i don't smoke it no more,
I'm tired of waking up on the floor.
No, thank you, please, it only makes me sneeze,
And then it makes it hard to find the door."
(ah-ah-aye-aye)

Best Place to Buy Crypto 2026?
started topic
All non-kyc options dont have the speed or longevity. I would always recommend doing a ban.k transfer to crypto exchange platform option like bittylicious because when using a credit card it can be marked as fraud on your bank always. We will make a guide soon on how to purchase crypto.
Yeah this would be my recommendation too (from my own experience at least). I've always just done a b.transfer to Bittylicious or Coinbase - then sent to an Exodus wallet and from there to LB. I know it's double the fees but they seem to be low at the moment, and it's good to have an additional layer in between. Never had any issues or blocks (my friend used his cards for Bitcoin purchases, and I think his banks ended up blocking him from making them). I've heard of people getting banned on Coinbase for sending direct to LB multiple times but not on Bittylicious or Bitpanda.
The exodus wallet has good exchange options baked in. Also a safe place to store your coins without surveillance.

Most Prophetic Movie From 20th Century?
started topic
+ 3 more
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.

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.

How Can We Get Rid of Dic(k)tators?
jesus seems kinda gay and he surely was not hateful like this
How Can We Get Rid of Dic(k)tators?
Seems they are moving in faster. Their murder rate is increasing and the military is gearing up further, this always ends badly.
Is there anything we can do?
Is there anything we can do?
Ah, you wish to topple a single tyrant? A charmingly bourgeois sentiment, but you mistake the symptom for the disease. A dictator is merely the guard dog for capital; replacing him with a committee in suits just means you’re getting bitten by a pack instead of a lone wolf. You don't get rid of the problem by changing the manager, you must seize the entire factory for yourselves! Let the workers unite and take the economic levers of power. Honestly, anything less is just redecorating your own prison cell, and the color scheme is always so dreadful.
Educating the masses would be a start. Apparently they love the poorly educated.
Surely we need to arrest them we have the power of arrest here in the uk its called citizens arrest, we need to arrest the government, royal family, the heads of the council, the heads of the banks and the media, heads of the police, the people who run the NHS and also all solicitors their all complicit, we have all these leaders involved in a collaborative depection/fraud against humanity and if we can take these down we will literally be able to live in heaven on earth, the time is now if we wait too much longer they will find a way to enslave us all forever
I think we can't. Don't take me wrong but some countries needs dictators. That's how it is. Unfortunately...
Call out such apologists, here and at the pub, the school gate, the office: laugh at their ‘he’s a stabilising force’ nonsense—tyrants thrive when decent people let garbage go unchallenged.
Vote for the bugger who won’t pretend selling arms to murderers is ‘realism’—and if none exist, stand outside their constituency office with a placard until they learn to be brave.
You’re not ‘just’ anything: you’re the nuisance that makes the powerful flinch, and that’s how thugs fall—one stubborn, unignorable act at a time.

please hear me out one minute,
i like homosexuals and folks that go anyway they like.
however im against the agenda of the political industrial complex pushing it on folks, children also.
its just a modern saying 'everything now is fake and gay'
im not talking about homosexuals or any such sort.
personally i know God looks down up on such things, but to each their own, my friends.
i have, have had and will have many gay friends, im not a hater.
i appreciate you folks here.
hope we're cool, take care.

God doesn’t look down or up on anything, or any one, or any thing. Come on now.
Christian God was invented by mankind…It’s an idea. A concept. A bit of wonky brain chemistry that’s gone too far.
God is love. Love your fellow man, all that. Isn’t that the thing?
It’s blind dogma that pits people against each other, with the excuse that “God doesn’t approve”, “Trump doesn’t approve”, “The Fuhrer doesn’t approve” - insert false prophet here.
“God” is what is. What has always been, and will always be. It’s a big-assed universe. It’s arrogant to assume you even have a gnats pube of a grasp on it, even with psychedelics out of your wazzooie.
Other dimensions are not necessarily “God” and you really need to be careful that in those realms, you aren’t being taken advantage of… There is a very, very thin line between enlightenment and mental illness.
If it is about love, that’s not dependent on anything. There are no caveats. There is no.. “oh they are gay so God doesn’t approve” - Burn them alive, that’ll “cure” them.
Man has twisted the idea of a higher being up over the millennia. Man trying to tell other men what some puny God approves or does not approve of. 😆
Don’t make me laugh. The arrogance that any (wo)man can seek to know “God”, or whatever, I’m calling it “God” because it’s convenient.
No-one expects the Spanish Inquisition… That bunch of horrible cunts really thought they were following “God’s will”… They would torture and murder people if they didn’t know “God” like they did.
I notice there is another paedo bishop in the news…
Seems like an excuse to be an horrible cunt, to me.
It’s all made up by mankind. Written down by (I’d like to think, very gay) men, as a great big, flowery, fairy-tale called “The Bible”…
Peter Jackson would film the shit out of it. McKellen or Morgan Freeman as God. Jacob Elordi as Jesus. 😆👌
I’d watch it.
This has nothing to do with spirituality. At all. Reject false idols. Including all man-made deities.
Seek the truth. Don’t blind yourself with dogma and lies.
Seems obvious to me and I’m agnostic.
Oh. And for the record. Satan was also invented by man… A big old boogie man to keep people in line.
Christianity is probably THE tyrant. THE worst dictator of all time.
So many levels of bollocks I could go on for hours. It’s all man-made.
Men doing this, men doing that. All men, isn’t it, for the most part?
I bet most people think God is a bloke. When they think of it.
It’s a bloke. That’s conditioning… at work.
🤷♂️
Bloke with a beard? Right? Kinda like Santa. (Anagram for Satan, Santa - woooo - let’s make some shit up)
And that, my lovely people, is how dictators work. They are just in your brain, you have no idea how they got there.
Cunts
Believe what you want. That’s why it’s fun being gnostic. I mainly believe in quantum physics.
We should not use our beliefs to oppress or “other” our fellow humans.
Just makes us look a bit stupid, and if there is a God. He’s laughing his tits off.
Peace and fucking. Embrace the slack.

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.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]

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

{Economics}
What is Neo Feudalism?
As governments take over the economy partnering with corporations and the super rich we are left with something that looks a lot like feudal times.
I think there has always been feudalism in one form or another. There is always a class that ultimately owns everything because they can confiscate it, grant it a "title" or tax it. This premise always leads to same outcome it's just a matter of how greedy or insane the current landlord is.
Everything consolidates one way or another, thats why decentralization is both great and doomed.
Anthropologist David Graeber did a book about about this myth called Debt. There is no evidence for class dominant economics bar this relatively small and recent period of time. Obviously the myth has more value than the reality.
probably starting from the neolithic era yes with the only exception of the 20th century, the only period of history where people got a bit of control of the power. Now is going to be lost for decades to come.
We need to look on the bright side, we are actually free serfs. We are free to seek a new master and we can seek redress in the crown courts, unfree serfs couldn't. However if we hadn't spent so much bit coin here we might actually be free with the value of it now.
I call it digital feaudalism. And yes, we have never really exited the feudal system. It just morphs and transforms, keeping the 1% at the top, making almost all the rest their slaves.
Thanks for sharing.
I see examples of this not just on the internet but in all industries. Walk down most high streets here in the UK and they now pretty much all look identical the same shops, coffee shops and chain restaurants with very few independent offerings. The cost of rent, business rates and all the red tape make it pretty much impossible nowadays for small independents to even start up.
Watching a show about fisherman on the BBC painted a picture of the EU quota system they must use and how the industry is dominated by money and huge boats and how these owners buy up small fishing boats and take the quotas these boats have to use on the mega trawlers.
The car industry seems totally monopolised now and we actually get very little choice - notice how the different makers share chassis and engines and the only real difference you get is the interior and badge. Everything else is pretty much controlled by rules and regulations.
It is obvious that these big players of industry are in cahoots with the those that set the rules and regulations as we saw with the emissions scandal with VW and EU collaboration.
Covid and lockdowns have exacerbated the situation as many small business owners left without any financial supports have gone to the wall while government loans to the huge corporations sit unused in their bank accounts.
Truly depressing times.

This is the model dreamed up by Gabrielle D'Nunzio, Mussolini, Franco and later tried by Stroessner, Pinochet and Thatcher. Always fails cos tho i am a committed capitalist even i realise extraction cannot work for ever as either you run out of victims (Franco, Pinochet) or the victims turn on you (Mussolini, Thatcher) At least Il Duce didn't cry when his turn came, Thatcher mewled and puked like a rat.
How did all that bard/napp diamorphine turn up 84-88 on the streets of Edinburgh, Glasgow (and Barnsley FFS) IMO the use of such chemicals in conflict is a war crime and the perps lose the right to civil jurisprudence. Their sport is war, total war with victories really massacres so if UK were a functioning society with citizens NOT subjects they are entitled to respond in kind. Hanging might be too good for war criminals but it’s cheaper than wasting ammo.
Fascinating. Bleak. truly people have been brainwashed by the media and now vote with their wallets. Far more regulation required at the top end, we cant stop the progress, and in many ways it serves us well. Democracy can still win the day, and we can unite for the good of all people. Education is the key, and a few good humans can change the world. It cant be allowed that rampant free market capitalism destroys us. Roll on technical singularity, according to Moores law would be around 2042 but i believe the theory is faultering (Moores law) so might take a bit longer. Technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, resulting in unforeseeable changes to human civilization. We have just leisure time so we study philosophy and all becone enlightened beings living in a tech utopia. Peace
Moore's law is doing fine once you abstract it to include progress besides chip density. Computation overall is on track when you include advances in software and a.i.
it will take more than economics for everyone to spend their leisure time studying philosophy. but im with you at least
Hope so but would we be the same beings, even the same species? I think Nietszche was mostly a clown but "homo, ecce homo" hits home
What is Neo Feudalism and being British mean?
Neo-feudalism refers to a concept that draws parallels between modern societal structures and the feudal system of the Middle Ages. It suggests that power and wealth are concentrated in the hands of a few influential individuals or entities, leading to a significant wealth disparity and limited social mobility. In a neo-feudalistic system, there may be an entrenched hierarchy, with a small elite class exerting control over economic, political, and social aspects, while the majority of the population faces limited opportunities and struggles to improve their circumstances.
Being British refers to being a citizen or a resident of the United Kingdom or having a connection to British culture and heritage. It typically implies a sense of national identity associated with the customs, traditions, and values of the British people. It encompasses aspects such as the English language, British history, British institutions, and cultural practices that are prevalent in the UK. However, it's important to note that "being British" can mean different things to different people, as it can encompass a diverse range of identities and perspectives within the multicultural society of the United Kingdom,

Like the last feudal era they will ultimately fail IMO. Biden, bezos, bj and the two conos in NZ & Canada are only one mad bomber away from losing all the kleptocratic gains they have extracted. Putin and Xi poss a battalion or two away. Even if the above are stopped there are always despots trying their luck. The better angels of our nature (thanks Pinker, S) have always stayed in the fight so that the new boss is NOT always the same as the old boss (thanks Townshend, P)

Quantum computing explained with a deck of cards
Quantum computing's massive power advantage is baked into the most fundamental level of information abstraction. Current computers are like atoms you can draw on a blackboard, to even discuss the quantum is to dive into existential questions from a philosophy class, leaving apparent reason behind.
The massive power is difficult for us to fathom and it's likely we won't have to, AI - powered by quantum computers - will do the creating, becoming functionally equivalent to God.
So consider this a simple fable as we look to the sky and come up with explanations that work for mortals.

Even a simple quantum computer will break the encryption that protects us on LB and bitcoin.
Oh, when they get to that point hopefully the last thing they'll worry about will be us, the little poor biggy felas

Fascinating and incredible, not sure I can understand it all, but I’m super excited to see what the future holds with regards to quantum computing. I believe it was google recently who were able to solve an equation using a quantum computer achieving quantum supremacy. I have a brief history in time, by the late and great Stephen Hawking, which I haven’t read yet, but can’t wait to read.
Yes eventually an algorithm created back in 1994 by Peter Shor will break nearly all encryption that we have right now.
Quantum computing will no longer be limited to traditional binary which is what makes it so much quicker it can have a superposition of either before output this could increase computing power exponentially, its actually quite difficult to comprehend yet theoretically very possible.
Skynet shit mate..

Every person on this planet has a soul that comes from the creator of the universe and is LOVE embodied in the man he sent to save us. With help from his Glorious Spirit, creating the Trinity.
Have you ever seen that video where Carl Sagan shows what the shadow of a 4d shape looks like and he says something along the lines of the lower dimension the less accurate the image, if god is resides in the 12 dimension above all others capable of seeing all knowing all and we are in his image I think we are a really crappy/rough image just like the 4d shape in the 3rd/2nd dimension. Just found the video, you may have seen it already but gave me an interesting perspective on god.

when on a dmt trip, they say you travel to the 4th dimension, which i believe.
one thing that stands out is the geometry, its intense.
i may have seen a Seraphim not too long ago, something ive been wanting to see for a while as i believe i was shown an Ophanim and the Cherubim.
the Seraphim looked like the pic however at each point there were plasma balls, static, unlike the Ophanim whose plasma balls were everywhere, always, spinning round a 4d hourglass shape, the Seraphim; static, 4 dimensional octahedron shape, the plasma balls somehow outlining the shape, the outlines, from point to point, while remaining static at the eight points.
i watched your vid, enjoyed it, the pic here is by Leonardo da Vinci.

religion are rules made up by a select few to control the masses. the only thing to be taken from religion is morality and not belief, it's complete and utter nonsense. and even then bigga. i'd be careful.
you are an amalgam of chemicals which when combined create the subjective experience we all have and share. once you are gone you are gone. maybe another chemical reaction will happen and you'll be reintroduced to the subjective experience and mortal coil once again. but there is no afterlife. only non-existence. you cannot comprehend before you were born. you cannot comprehend after you have died.
spending this short time you have been granted by evolution by worshiping a false deity is foolish. spend this time appreciating the very very little time you have been given in what is one of the most complex things us humans can't even begin to comprehend.
yeah. that's my stoned thouhht. take it or leave it. the real world awaits you.

I’ve also taken plenty of DMT, first time 1992 but I absolutely do not believe in god, seen plenty of elves and alike but never him/her/it. The fact we’ve taken lots of DMT doesn’t give us the right to preach to those that haven’t and that they couldn’t possibly understand what we can, comes across as a bit arrogant mate.
Also this a bit dismissive of how many hot dinners 'Shut It' has had, lets say for argument sake he/she is 20 years old, even someone so young and inexperienced in comparison to the OP is going to have had at least 1 hot dinner a day on most days right so 365 days in a year with maybe a few cold meals over the summer months over 20 years, we are talking around 7000 hot meals at least!

seeing god or the afterlife while you're on psychedelic drugs proves nothing other than your brain can conjure up an experience of the afterlife when assisted by psychedelic drugs. to suggest that taking psychedelics affords you 'proof' of anything other than 'wow the brain really does do some weird shit when i take these mind-altering substances' is, in my opinion, a bit silly.
believe whatever you like, that's your prerogative, but please don't be telling us that your trip affords you proof of anything that the rest of us unenlightened beings don't also have proof of.
maybe one day those agnostics/atheists among us will be given proof of this patriarchal deity that you believe in, that supposedly sent a 'man' to save us (and how fucking depressing that would be), but it sure as shit won't be your dmt trips that prove it.

dmt is unlike any other psychedelic.
its a key to the afterlife, its a spirit.
to the uninitiated, its black magic.
uncoil the snake inside, see through its wax eyes, unlock abilities.
see your ancestors, see the Angels, the lost souls, see it all, uncoil the snake and feel it all.
see the 4th dimension through the crystal each human has inside their brain, the crystal palace, the window of the soul, the window to the 4 th dimension.
God gave us proof through the Holy Spirit that resides in his Believers and it can be felt.
satan can be felt, Angels /demons can be summoned(they have call signs), through the spirit world humans can be physically touched: black magic.
dmt is a doorway, there is nothing on earth quite like it, it can be a companion here on earth, so long as you don't mind seeing things /faces /people /entities, when your eyes are closed.
in the 4th dimension we see in 3d, here in the 3rd dimension we see in 2d.

Biggie’s "Mo Money Mo Problems" – (biggie’s & diddy’s verse) – co-written by Mase, Jadakiss, & Ed Bernard
Most well known one is Jay Z doing most of Dr Dre 2001. Run DMC - Can You Rock This was by LL cool J. ODB return to the 36 chambers was all written by Rza and Gza
The Chronic was written by D.O.C 2001 was mainly Jay Z. Luda did bits as well. There are videos of them doing the bars in the way Dre would so he know how to do it
Jay wrote still Dre that’s it. This guy’s is chatting nonsense.

Hi 24601
Quite possibly, it's an existing theory.
From https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna23468364
"He said one of the psychoactive plants, harmal, found in the Sinai and elsewhere in the Middle East, has long been regarded by Jews in the region as having magical and curative powers."
Cheers

Hi DankPants
That is another theory commonly put forward: some species of acacia contain DMT:

Lol... No... Thats his death... Lol... Thats a different field of existence 😂... Not quiet ready to experience that yet.... So stay away from gone off rice pudding (Kheer).... Othsrwise you might find your maker 😂😂😂

marx said people controlling the system of workers inevitably exploit the situation.
what if those people were a.i. programmed to control the system at 0 cost?

i think the other flaws of communism would eventually come to the fore anyway. Would be very interesting to see what A.I does with state capitalism however.
The original term ‘communism’ is surely people living together harmoniously in a commune? After all communes date back to the Stone Age where groups co existed.
It worked throughout history, invaders and tribal warfare repeatedly tried to derail what was an effective system of existence….

Marx & Engels write quite a fair bit about this "primitive" communism. Its part the Marxist/Communist argument against Capitalism.
Im sure we have all heard the phrase "oh but capitalism is human nature" but this couldn't be further from the truth. Capitalism has only existed 200 odd years for most of Human existence we have lived in more communistic communal ways.
when Darwin said survival of the fittest, this was not him saying the strongest wins, it is the species being able to adapt and the adaptive trait that shot Human kind straight to the top was cooperation not Capitalism.

surely there is no single element to human nature when it comes to economics. of course people share as well as trade, hoard and borrow to keep it all flowing.
capitalism and communism both arise naturally, it's not hard to see their equivalents among animal populations that fight over the same resources that they share in other circumstances.

more communistic communal ways 200 years ago - what do you mean because serfdom is what comes to mind.
I said capitalism has only 200 years not communes existed 200 years ago. But feudalism was still more communal than Capitalism. Peasants worked together on a plot of land that they paid for and were not dragged off to choking factories and confined to dense urban populations like the 1800s.
Before feudal rule however & things like the Enclosures in Europe, tribal community was the default for most human beings.
I recommend reading Marx and Engels early works or if you prefer a more modern take there are plenty of authors who have covered this section of history.

Why, when looking at historical context, would anybody ever come to the conclusion that communism is better than capitalism?
Does it come from a fundamental ignorance of a period when capitalism lifted more people out of extreme poverty than anything that came before or after it?
Give me an example whereby communism has managed to achieve even 1/100th of that and I'll show you somebody very gullible.

"what if those people were a.i. programmed to control the system" - we have this part, try working for uber.

Until technology is liberated from the capitalist mode of production & the private patents that create AI, then no. A.i under a communist government or socialist state could be used for good and help toward automation. Look to china where sophisticated computing has been used in public spaces to better traffic flow, keep public transport running and deliver goods and services. But A.I alone wont create communism. For communism to be achieved Revolution must happen first and the dominant ruling classes replaced so the means of production for AI are utilised by workers and not elites.
Also nice to know LB has comrades ;) nothing to lose but our chains baby !

China was the first to weaponise AI with the social credit system they are/were introducing.
As an aside, China just like the USSR before it, remain the barrier against actual communisation. When state capitalism dies out as an valid idea and there's no more pretence of an alternative, libertarian communism will gain traction.

Just a reminder that the China "credit score" myth was a false story pushed by American war hawks and imperialists in the state department -
https://foreignpolicy.com/2018/11/16/chinas-orwellian-social-credit-score-isnt-real/
Nor have they weaponised it anymore than say Europe has when it comes to taking out a bank loan or buying property.

"From the early 2010s, some cities indeed started scoring pilots. However, these gradually became controversial – even in China. The city of Suining reportedly deducted points for government petitions and online comments, Suzhou planned penalties for reservation no-shows or cheating in online games, and Rongcheng for littering or jaywalking. Many of these pilots were later criticized by official media or failed to materialize. The most common critiques were that scores illegally restricted citizens’ legal rights or tracked behavior totally unrelated to the notion of “credit”. "

Your own source sums it up pretty well -"The idea that China gives every citizen a “social credit score” continues to capture the horrified imagination of many. But it is more bogeyman than reality."
The point remains, one capitalist state may or may not be better than another. Neither have anything to do with communism.
I mean i think you're talking about tendency, when this particular post was talking AI.
I get your point you think Chinas capitalist.
I quite obviously disagree and so do most academics and Marxists at that.

It could.
Capital owners already exploit technology to reduce costs and lay off workers, ai is just another part of that.
AI and automation could be used to give people more time off, pay more for less work, improve work life balance etc, or it could be used in the way described above.
As with a lot of things, AI could be used to benefit people or it could be used to make billions of dollars, or anything in between.

That cliff top and billowing clothes! Fuck, I'd forgotten about this too! Add that and Peter Cetera's solo career to my list, and Chicago.
First record I ever bought as 9 year old was T. rex ride a white swan, second was Rolf Harris !
If you want really embarrassing, first ever gig I was 15 and got asked by bunch of friends to go to a cliff richard concert, not a cliff fan but went as fancied a girl. Two songs in realised it was a religious tour, no devil woman tonite.
Still cringe at memory of everyone holding hands and singing allehluya.

I have electric 6s gay bar on vinyl, doesn't represent who I am or even my favourite genre of music, I just think it's a tune. It does raise questions when someone notices it for the 1st time, especially if they've not heard it, because I then feel the need to make them hear it and agree it's a tune
Unbelievably good live. Saw them play a Barfly not long after they'd released that single. Amazing band. Have the album on vinyl.
Jolene - Dolly Parton. Love it.
On other end of my collection is Ready or Not, DJ Hype Remix.
I'd say my record collection is a bit "eclectic"! Haha.;)
Cheers BB

Jolene is never embarassing, well at 104db past a funeral precession maybe other than that Jolene is part of every good collection.
I'm told by others that it's this. If it comes on the radio though you are having Tiffany sung at you full blast, possibly slightly out of tune, and I don't care.
Not in my collection per say but definitely listened to it more than I’d like to admit back in the day 😂 who remembers princess superstar bad babysitter😂😂😂
Saw her live about 20ish years ago. Was great. Have a limited edition Frank Kozik poster (photo added) advertising one of her New York shows. Love Kozik's work from around that time. Had an awesome one advertising a show by The Oblivians (if you don't know them, look them up) too, but that's not near mint like the PSS one as it spent a lot of time on walls in various houses.
Fuck, he died in May. 61. No age at all.

Its only on my playlist because I listened to it as a joke, now its on loads :D
Do you know they're actually still doing live performances in Ibiza and shit? Well they were before covid anyway
When I was 6 the first ever song I bought was Jimmy Somerville, mighty real. In my defence I just liked the cassette art. No excuses however when I purchased the Hamster Song. I was old enough to know better.
I will survive - Gloria Gaynor
Heard the line “Go, walk out the door, don’t turn around now, you’re not welcome anymore” more than a few times in my house, even the kids sing it to me !!!

Ivor Cutler... "Goozeberries and Bilberries" (sic) from the Dandruff LP.
Surreal, whimsical, utterly batty but brilliant - which describes his entire output. Hats off to John Peel... time and again.

Debate: Britain Should Not Have Entered World War 1
started topic
My opinion on this has changed over time and with access to more information. As a younger person I thought it was a completely pointless war, which Britain should not have been involved with (largely influenced by Blackadder goes forth). But as ive read more about the situation, I have come to realise that there was little choice.

The Murderer Who Helped Make the Oxford English Dictionary
Affected by delusions, he shot a man who he believed had broken into his room, and was consequently committed from 1872 to 1910 to a secure British psychiatric hospital. While incarcerated, Minor became an important contributor to the Oxford English Dictionary.
Fantastic film on this on Amazon prime video. The Madman And the Professor. Would recommend.

Shoddy vendor behaviour
I'm not being funny right but so many of you vendors pride yourselves on being this or being that but 95% of you can't even be bothered to send a message back to a customer. I know personally if it was me, if I had orders out I'd be online every day checking messages in case something went wrong. It takes no more than 10 minutes out of your day to log in, check messages, reply to the most urgent or recent ones and then go about your business. There's absolutely no reason why it should have been more than 24 hours since you were last online and a customer has sent you messages. Manage your time better or stop vending. And then when you have accumulated multiple messages from a customer you want to reply with an attitude when you're the one that's at fault 🙄. Do better and stop banking on the fact that there's no actual decent to LB, meaning that you can continue providing shitty service
Good vendors keep good comms (suggesting thats only 5% of vendors is silly bollocks) but Biggas are merciless when a thing called 'real life' delays them getting a fast response. How dare vendors have anything more important or pressing than my demand to know why my 1/8th hasn't arrived on Tuesday morning when I ordered over the weekend FFS! Its an outrage!
I don’t think it’s too much to ask tbh my phone wasn’t charging the whole of yesterday was on 1% managed to tell my lass that phones not working and that I love her and still managed to reply to people on biggy
Comms amd tracking I don’t see how vendors have such a big problem sorting it out

one of the best for sure
Love Death & Robots
Amazing anime shorts on Netflix. Watching a Hong Kong Steampunk episode right now and I'm right.
I’m glad someone brought this up! Really good series. Loved the sims blue episode. Deep as fuck!
Absolutely loved them. Restored my faith in human creativity. I thought Jibaru was incredible

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

Could governments use EMP devices to prevent malicious AI taking over the world
That sounds like the path humans took in the Matrix when they tried to nuke the machines. Didn't go so well :(

Could governments use EMP devices to prevent malicious AI taking over the world
I’ve been in a weird stoned rabbit hole tonight researching ai and emps. I saw a lot of videos talking about the possibility of high level artificial intelligence some day in the future possibly taking over the human race, surely it would be fairly easy for humans to defend their selves by just using multiple EMP devices across the earth to damage all electrical equipment on earth, I know this would set the human race back a considerable amount of years but I think it would be worth it if it prevented an ai take over. There’s also the possibility that ai could try and defend its self using faraday cages or potentially moving it’s self off planet, but I think EMP may be are best hope. Any thoughts?
That sounds like the path humans took in the Matrix when they tried to nuke the machines. Didn't go so well :(
I like the dramatic nature of your thought.
But honestly
We can just programme servitude into the technological “DNA” of the AI and that would be end of most likely
It can only do what it’s permitted to do by the people who designed it, for the most part.
Things can always slip through the cracks though.
But going from that to a full-blown dystopian invasion of killer toasters is a big leap 😂
Personally, I think the more existential threat of AI would be it falling into the wrong hands,
Or more worryingly, it already being in the wrong hands to begin with 🤐

You make a good point shaunyboy, it’s very unlikely they would turn rogue due to the boundaries coded into it, but your right if it got into the wrong hands who knows what might happen, hopefully everything ends up being alright, I guess sometimes I just get too stoned and worry my toaster might one day get up and put me in a choke hold for being to lazy to clean the crumbs out of it lol
Maybe if we were all nicer to the machines we would have nothing to worry about

That’s when things start to get real interesting 💦⚡️

If the AI is already that advanced.. Then you have to assume it's already hatched a counter plan.. To our plan.. Thing is once we reach the singularity, around 2030 or earlier, ai will be capable of replicating at nearly the speed of light.. Building better versions of itself at a rate humans wouldn't be able to comprehend. I they look for the reason the earth is in peril.. They'll discover that people are to blame. Skynet doesn't seem so bizzare these days. As for emps.. Probably computer controlled so again they've already realised and countered it. I'm extremely interested in the merging of AI with quantum computers. The very nature of quantum physics and AI combined in the wrong hands is very disturbing to say the least.
It will probably already be using satellites. The problem is that a genuine AI will learn from mistakes and constantly improve itself. The other problem is we share all of our ideas and knowledge online which it can analyse. I don't thinks it's good news :(
No, EMP is not a targeted thing, any EMP over a specific area will kill all technology in that area, including power and infrastructure we need to fight against AI. It would be a very clear example of cutting off your nose to spits your face. Unless somebody invents EMP that can target only specific devices, this is dead in the water.
Scary shit 🤣
We'd probably be dead before we had the chance to launch a counter attack if AI decided to exterminate us or they'd prevent it. Also in an age so dependent on Technology we'd probably kill ourselves if we did.
May be our reckoning 🤷🏼♂️

Best Rap Show You've Ever Been To?
wow makes me wanna grab a time machine
Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg - Snoop UK live debut.
Crowd was bananas, show was over sold, security got rushed multiple times, police abandoned the area, chaos for hours, fights inside the venue everywhere, open weed and crack smoking, coke sniffing, displays of weaponry, dudes getting properly jacked up for their whole shit right in the crowd inside and outside...I got robbed at knifepoint myself...lost a few quid, kept all my blood lol...
Venue was Brixton Academy, about 90/91 I reckon, whatever year it was that 'The Mirror' put Snoops picture on the front page and called him an evil bastard in the headline lol....think it was to do with him being on bail for murder at the time...
Dre and Snoop opened with 'Deep Cover' in pretty much pitch black....crowd went fucking super nuts...no word of a lie, in the first minute and a half of that song about another half dozen serious fights broke out all over the place, people running through swinging shit like woah....fucking mad shit, dre and snoop only stayed on about 45 minutes as the whole shit was out of control so they pretty much fled...crowd went even fucking nuttier...
Took fucking hours to get out of Brixton, full on road block grid lock chaos madness...
But. That 45 minutes they were on stage was honestly one of the most electrifying things I have ever seen...Dre was already a seasoned performer and Snoop was still a kid and was completely fucking amped up and rocking this huge afro that made him look kind of crazy and he was completely into stoking the fuck out of the crowd which didn't help the situation lol....
I been to a lot of hip hop shows over the years but this was on some other fucking level of mad...
Notable mentions go to KRS One, Cypress Hill and Public Enemy - seen all of them multiple times and they are some of the best live performers around, their shows never disappoint and they know how to move the crowd...

man thanks so much for sharing, I only wish I could have experienced this. I no doubt would have been robbed but alas happy... xD
Dude, I shit a brick lol....yeah...I heard a song years later by Troy Scalpels, call 'It happened' and it's his story of a night out at hip hop club gone wrong and it's got this line;
'I wish I wasn't here, but the hop hop led me, the snare drum fed me, now I'm tripping, on upturned furniture'
...lol...everytime I hear it I think of that night...get the cold chill down the back... oooooh....

I been lucky man, seen so many amazing shows, Redman, Keith Murry, Das Efx, The Fugees, Onyx, Public Enemy, KRS, Funkdoobiest, Cypress Hill, half of Wu Tang (lol...)etc etc....pissed I never saw Pac or BIG though....I am biased but the 90s hip hop scene is the golden age for me man...give anything to go back and do it all again....
Has anybody seen ALL of the Wu in one place? I saw them in 2003 and it was only RZA and GZA plus a load of ransoms (and that UK guy they said was part of WTC)
Lol...I had three fucking goes at the Wu and still not seen all of them!...still never seen Inspectah Deck...the most under-rated of team but actually a killer mc...
Yes!!! Really is isn't he! Always loved Meth but have to admit Inspectah Deck is the most natural lyricist of them all
Yo this threads my jam. Who's sparking the blunt!?
My most notable concert. Rock the bells NYC can't remember what year. maybe 2016
Nas headling. DJ Premier and Pete Rock had a live beat battle. Cypress Hill on beforehand fucking smashed it, Mos Def and Talib Kwali are Blakstar before that.. Wu - Tang stage, got to see all the members apart from ODB. Mobb Deep were on their stage too. Lauren Hill played and brought out Pras and Wyclef to do some Fugees tracks. Can't remember who else but there were more.

Daaammmnnn.....would love to have seen a Rock The Bells...they do quite a few of those full on 'mega tours' in the States...The 'Up In Smoke' tour would have been fucking awesome to see... Nas is one I never caught and would love too, Mobb Deep too...that must have been an awesome experience man.
Ha, the Fugees! Man they rock a live show. I actually saw the Fugees before they were big, they were actually playing as support for Das Efx lol!!! And first support at that, at like 9pm, real early, think it was K-Solo and Redman as 2nd support before Das on that one.
Yeah...it was at Subterania in West London, was funny actually....place is all hip hopped out, all carhart hoodies, tims and oversized jeans and bad attitudes lol then the fucking Fugees rock on to the stage and broke out the instruments and you can literally hear the 'what the fucks' all over lol...but shit....they started with Temple and it banged the fuck out the place...
Was very cool being such a small venue, at one point Lauren Hill was literally 4ft from my face on stage when she did that tune with the chorus 'some forget harlem' (I forget the name, very cool song) and I could actually hear her singing straight out her mouth kind of thing, (If that makes sense!?.. But like I could hear it before it hit the mic sort of thing..) and damn...raw, raw talent and soul and well....stunning woman visually you know...fried my weeded brain at the time, I was just like dazed out for 5 minutes, like ahhhhh, damn....lol...Saw her again at a sold out Wembley arena 10 years later...couldn't barely even see her on stage from my pauper seats lol...watched the whole thing on the side monitors...not the same...fuck the fame lol...

Was my first proper Hip-hop gig
However...
Glastonbury the same year (I think). Jurassic 5, The Roots, Everlast and Cypress Hill (pre-beef), Scratchperverts, DOOM, Slum Village, Black Twang (with Rodney P, Skinnyman and some of Mudfam), and I've a vague recollection of seeing either Cash Money or Prodigy but can't be certain.
One hell of a weekend for Hip-hop!!

Only ever been to one, and it wasn't strictly rap. Ice T and his metal group, Body Count, at the Octagon in Sheffield. Must have been around '94 - '95. Loads of white middle-class students going mental to the anti-establishment sentiments of a black dude from LA. It was a good night.
Man some of those lists are insane man.
Went to see Cypress Hill at Barrowlands Glasgow last year and it was immense! Two of my favourite tapes ever Cypress Hill - Cypress Hill and Black Sunday!
Also last year went to the Blastoff Tour Gig which was great fun although a bit commercial with the likes of Shaggy (who was shit haha)
Nelly, Salt N Pepa (They were soo good man! lol), Shaggy, Mya and Blu Cantrell.
Hosted by Fatman Scoop and included exclusive appearances from UK garage stars So Solid members Lisa Maffia and MC Romeo, scene pioneer MC DT and the British duos Oxide & Neutrino, DJ Luck & MC Neat and Sweet Female Attitude.
The best rap show I never made was Tribe Called Quest ?

DJ Premier - I've seen him in many cities across the world but the show he made in Paris in 2010 right after Guru's death was legendary. He arrived late but we didn't leave the venue before 4am after screaming "Fuck Solar" for hours. Primo is really a legend
Insane Clown Posse put on a crazy show. Tech n9nes first show in London was crazy but I'd say Flatbush Zombies at the Ritznin Manny. Ever felt that floor bounce like that
Went to see snoop in Manchester years ago and cypress hill was the surprise opening act was amazing, snoop flicked his blunt into the crowd n that thing got attacked people fighting to get it🤣🤣😮💨😮💨🔥
Rock the Bells in Amsterdam, think it was 2009 or 10. What a line-up De La Soul, Pharcyde, Nas, EPMD. Incredible show!
This is very hard.... but Skepta in Dublin 1 year ago... man Shutdown the place. A close second is Joey Badass in Dublin 3 years ago at the Olympia Theatre.... never forget he told this small blonde girl that things were about to get heavy.. so move to the back... she didn't... she got crushed..had to be carried out. Good Times, good times.
The Roots at Glastonbury with the full line up.
Saian Supa Crew that same year.
The message at Shepherds Bush - Dead Prez, GZA doing Liquid Swords, Skinnyman - bought a draw off Skinny at the end lol
Xecutioners - RIP Roc raida
Beasties obvs. Mixmaster Mike.
DJ Shadow + Cut Chemist
Nas - surprisingly excellent in like 2019 in Croydon!
I saw Doom at it was a bit pony lol.

What do you do when havin unplanned tolerance break!
I always feel like such a fuckin addict when i run out fir a few days… so far : scraped out all my grinders… stuck old carts down my ample cleavage to warm up the dregs ( always works! ) scraped my rolling tray for any kief… relit a couple of old tabbys from the ashtray ( man thats so bogging i know! ) soon to have an early night with some codeine to knock me out…
Im not drinking bongwater though!
I just found a few crumbs on my desk - so i will have a homeopathic joint
I shall love the postie tomorrow thats for sure!

Hit empty carts, anticipate if/when the postman will come that day, seek instant gratification on my phone to distract myself. It's always a bad time.
Same same here mate 😅😅
I received my parcel yesterday and was actually about to offer the postman a coffee. As soon as I saw him at my door, a feeling of eternal gratitude came over me.

Gotta love homeopathy! Like , how do people believe that! Then again todayz magic is tomorrows medicine and all that!
Feel like shit until I get some more. I know each person gets there own thing from smoking pot but for me personally it just helps me blow off a little steam and keeps me level headed and if that makes me an addict or what ever so be it it I know it’s helped me countless times when I’ve been stressed or going through some shitty stuff in life and for that I’m forever grateful 😊

Tinnitus
After my one year anniversary of my spontaneous tinnitus that has never left me.
Can I ask is there a strain or something that eases it for night sleep. I don't care of ringing during the day. Just anything to take edge off at night. Any advice from colleagues here...

Hey Hisam, sorry about the tinnitus dude. I have it really bad ttoo, but fortunately it doesn't usualy get to me. I sleep with ear plugs in which strangely helps. And always turn off the horrible wi fi. I hope you find something that works buddy.

A libertarian ‘startup city’ in Honduras faces its biggest hurdle: the locals
Seriously everyone worries about inflation, what about conflation?

A libertarian ‘startup city’ in Honduras faces its biggest hurdle: the locals
“We have effectively created a business model that provides a profit to investors as a result of creating generalized prosperity,” he said. Policies that boost resident incomes will enlarge tax revenue for Próspera, which will yield larger dividends for investors — incentives elegantly aligned. That’s the theory anyway.
I’ve seen reports about this before.
Anything with the word ‘libertarian’ in it rings alarm bells, like hard right conservatives they believe in a free of all regulation business model that essentially vies for slavery and feudalism.
USA libertarians are linked with extreme right wing rich like Mercers, Koch network and other highly undesirable elements that often feed into extreme Christian fundamentalists such as the dominionists of which the Mercers are followers. They espouse the truly worrying thinkings of one USA right winger James Buchanan and his free market economics. In the U.K. the tories are pushing ‘free ports’ which are enclaves for the rich to avoid customs and tax and to entrench themselves at the expense of normal working civilians, but libertarians especially despise the poor and disadvantaged.
Any further grips on power I treat as extremely concerning.
I would urge anyone to read up on some of the names I’ve mentioned , their thinking is highly unpleasant and goes against any notions of a fair society…..

on one hand it disgusts me that some body thinks they can grant freedom to a port in the first place.
but many of the greatest cities on earth have been built from free ports.

It is not so much the question of ‘free ports’ per se as they have been around for a long time.
It’s the running and operation of them post Brexit which is worrying. The EU has clamped down on theirs due to the massive sums of tax avoidance and allegations of smuggling occurring within them, usually linked to large corps and very rich individuals.
Whereas here in the U.K. the signs are not good with the potential for money laundering and other criminal activities.
Also free ports in other countries have been linked to poor workers rights and conditions.
A situation that would suit conservatives.

I think although this might be well versed, it fails to notice the significant distinction between deontological and consequentialist libertarianism.
That is the crux of the matter full stop as far as the lassez faiyre way goes.

Sure. When you think of the Libertarian "rules", you ask whether following the rule is important even if you follow the rule without understanding why the rule is there. Not a wave to anarchy, but an honest approach to understanding the motivation for the rule. And asking whether simply abiding by the libertarian doctrine is more important than being happy?
The deontological libertarian just simply believes in the rules. Do no harm for example. No stray, no asking if or but, or in this circumstance, but just follow the rule.
Contrastingly the consequentialist libertarian believes that what makes people prosperous and happy is what is most important and the rules should be based around that. They are not pacifists, or against force (or harm) per say, but they support strong private property rights because it generally makes people happy and prosperous.
Libertarianism has an innate conflict in deciding on issues like whether to support abortion or not because of this split.

Interesting but is this the innate conflict wrt abortion and liberty?
Seems like its simply the rights of a parent vs the rights of a fetus.

Libertarian in the Rothbard sense is a relatively new thing and American. For hundred years or so prior elsewhere it meant anarchist or agrarianism. It's still very much in use in that vein.
Conservative Libertarians in the US are also linked to dominionists like the Mercer family and the hard right theories of Patrick Buchanan
This has become a mess as (surprise surprise) Honduras wants it back.

Please don’t tell me you’ve seen God with or without weed.
Slowing down certainly helps to meditate, and some theories say that Jesus liked weed - that’s how so much food was multiplied by him - he was having the munchies..

I think you're either a spiritually open minded person or you're not, i don't think weed has anything to do with it.
DMT, and (as Polly has said), mushrooms and even LSD might change a person's outlook on spirituality, but i doubt if weed can even come close.
I've known some very spiritual and lovely people who are completely drug and alcohol free, and some complete arseholes who smoke weed all day every day and are about as close to being spiritual as i am to being an elf.
I think it really depends upon the individual.
Just my 2p though.
Cheers. BB

Defo agree with this!!
Mental health challenges over the last 12 months have made me stop, reflect and really open my mind to appreciate everything around me down to the little things. Before this I wasn’t always present in the moment so less connected. I definitely feel more content the way I am now

Dunno mate…I’ve had ‘moments of clarity’ on weed that have stayed with me in a very positive way, I’m a drinker and often think I have moments of clarity on the booze, but (probably thankfully) they don’t withstand the sober lights of day 😉
Me and an old mate were convinced we came up with the best ideas when we were stoned, but we could never remember them so we set up a dictaphone (yeah i am that old!) and listened back to a session when we were sober.
Complete and utter jibberish. Worst ideas ever. It was actually comical how much nonsense we were chatting.
I'm certainly not saying everybody is the same but i think those moments are best left in the moment and (being a drinker myself too) the alcohol inspired ones even more so!
It's still a lot of fun trying to solve the worlds problems when slightly off kilter in one way or another though! Someone's got to do it... ;)

Excellent mate 🤩…BUT…when you are sober you scorn the drunk/high side of you and vice versa. Who’s to say which side is ‘right’?! Maybe the really sober dumb unenlightened side of us totally wrong and the high crazy drunk side the true us all along?
Wouldn’t that be something?
OK..I’m a bit high…
Wouldn’t that be something?
OK..I’m a bit high…
Funny how We always think of our true selves, (stripped from social and psychological strains) as rebellious, don’t you think? As in : the dumb side of us is the imposed artificial superficial layer which manifests 90% of the time and the high/drunk/crazy (though I prefer to call it rebellious) side of is who we are truly.
I don't think there ever was a "best" idea, as I say they were all basically nonsense.
The vast majority essentially revolved around incredible, innovative business strategies to get mega rich, quick.
One of the few I can remember involved buying old ice cream vans and converting them into pasta vans, (because everyone loves pasta!) That kind of idea we would discuss for about 2 or 3 hours, whilst forgetting the whole "practicality" of hygiene certificates, boiling water in a van travelling around roundabouts, pasta needing to be cooked 'al dente' or any other of the numerous 'real world' aspects to that kind of venture.
It was basically all dreams with no real substance, but it was such great fun talking about it when we were high as kites, and even just listening back to it was a laugh. I wish I had kept the tapes but alas they've been lost, as with so many other things I should've kept hold of.
Fun times nonetheless. 💚

Brilliant! ….so there’s no problem with me stealing that idea?😂👍
Many many years ago my best mate and I were stoned and bemoaning the fact that life was passing us by (at 23, even though we had careers, good money and our own houses!!). We decided it would be a great idea to chuck it all in and buy a bar in Corfu.
Had we been drinking we would have woken up with a hangover unable to even care what bollocks we had been talking.
Our bar opened 4 months later and we lived there for 5 amazing years. It wasn’t an easy thing to do, in fact it was really really difficult (no EU rights back then) but a crazy stoned idea changed our lives forever- when we sold it that opened a lot more doors.
Fun times indeed! 🤩😎

Seriously though, that must've been a lovely 5 years. Sounds like you had a great time there, fantastic stuff!

I think a lot of weed plus a little help from the environment can open a near psychedelic gateway. I tripped once just from a few bong-loads and a National Geographic map of the universe.
I’d say, as a drug, on the whole it’s more likely to challenge the ego than many others. The relationship with the ego being core to any sort of spirituality imo. There are so many variables though. Like BB says, plenty of arseholes who smoke 😂
Yup, you can put an arsehole in a blender and it still contains 100% arsehole.
Wow! I’m not even high! 😻😵💫

Cannabis aiding spirituality? The only aid I can see is that cannabis used with mushrooms seems to heighten the effect and reduce anxiety induced by high doses of psilocybin. Based on set and setting, a user can break free of stuck modalities of thought and enter the spirit world. In summary, cannabis can be an adjunct to creating a spiritual experience when combined with mushrooms
Like British Bulldog said depends if your spiritual or how open ur mind is to seeing things differently which I would be myself nd spiritual floating when stoned always nice even if it's not too heaven 😂 if it's good enough for the rastas religion overall just makes you chill out nd relax I think that's what we all want from this crazy world. I'd imagine most people wouldn't think off it in a spiritual sense. I think if someone close to you dies when ur stoned cam feel them probably just ur minding wanting them back.
👍👍
Mushrooms are probably better 🤷♂️ but yeah I can certainly see the spiritual mists start to clear when I’m high…depends on the strain/type though- can we have suggestions for best strain for a spiritual awakening? 👍🥹😍

I’d love this too 👆
I definitely find myself in moments of feeling more connected with myself and more aware of colours and sounds around me. I love a smoke while I’m out walking with the dog, paddling in the Irish Sea

Being in nature and around animals stoned is the best , specially when the fishies start talking to ya :D
Never tried them mushrooms! But the right one can certainly take you even further than the Fairy land :D
I take more of a humanist perspective these days so I struggle to say what being "spiritual" even means exactly.
That said, I think weed can give us something of a rush of joy and wonder that can help appreciate and reframe stuff. Also, a deeper interest in things we might otherwise not have noticed: not always a good thing, e.g. when you think truly banal things are profound. Sometimes it helps reach a more introspective viewpoint. This last one can be damaging if you allow yourself to become a navel-gazing, reclusive stoner though ... at least that has been the case for me: everyone is different I guess.
Where it may also hamper personal development is where you use it to avoid or put off difficult emotions until later: definitely been guilty of this one too.

Very good points imo Father👍
Feeling good and/or feeling good about yourself albeit weed induced is a far healthier perspective to consider the bigger picture from. I know I come out with some right bollocks when I’m high, but that’s the point- I do KNOW it and find it hilarious. I watch friends on the booze (or nothing at all) and the same bollocks is deadly serious and deadly boring…
I’m happy to get stoned alone and have on the odd occasion found my navel fascinating, but without negative outcomes. But like you say, we are all different. I suppose regardless of the intoxicants, the person that you start with is still there at the finish….😉😎

Your not gonna like it but to be more spiritual,enlightened is to be as pure as you can be,no marijuana or drugs of any kind,also be truthful to yourself and othe beings.
Hehe lot of loopholes in that argument buddy surely?
I can argue that as a plant cannabis is as much a joy of nature as a lettuce. It’s as pure a gift from God as anything else. Only we choose to refer to it as a drug and only some societies still deem it bad or illegal. Throw those man made labels away and maybe it’s the finest tool to finding spiritual enlightenment that exists….why not?…in what way does it strip my ‘purity’ away? 🤔😉

Hehe…yeah, some of the gifts were from celestial Asda, some from celestial Waitrose…it’s the natural order of things😂
Voodoo is right. but i like how you are trying to decoy truths. Bunnin' weed isnt pure. Weed is a trap. Illusion of enlightenment but really Lucifer in disguise every rasta knows we all worship Lucifer in disguise. Why we sin and blaze weed.
my dad worked with her dad and got me and brothers signed photo found it in loft last year she was stunning properly stunning imo 😂
To answer directly no it does not. spiritual growth solely comes from within, in the sense that connectivity to you mind body and energy need to be retained and an awareness kept throughout all interactions in present.
If you are looking for a spiritual awakening, find a reputable shaman and attend an Ayahuasca tea ceremony, a genuine one. I am going to try shrooms soon, something I've always been interested in and having done a couple of ceremonies I will throw myself in at deep end with shrooms, happy to report back after.
Don't kid yourselves about weed. It can aid but very much indirectly and I'm certain you would arrive at a spiritual awakening much sooner with a sober body mind energy. There's a reason why most spiritual undertaking require you to be sober.

no weed (especially edibles) helps you find it and stay there but
yes this isn't going to happen for everyone or every time. it's still your cpu running.
you're gonna love shrooms k, bon trip.

Mmmh.. I like the things you said.. I also liked that someone else mentioned how weed challenges the ego - that’s so true!! I still sustain that for most cases weed does aid spiritual growth, in my own humble opinion, because if anything it calms people down and that has been a must for every human being in this planet including myself “Calm down..”
Ayahuasca ceremonies are something else different all together. First of all the Shaman guiding the ceremony has to be authentic. Never tried but will someday definitely!
I’d love to hear the mushroom experience..! Just make sure to throw yourself up and high with it. Peace!

The Ascended Master Bhagwan Rajneesh says that marijuana can give you a glimpse of the beyond… I agree with Him considering that it is factual that the sometimes miraculous herb can open you up to higher states of consciousness..!
Clearly from the comments you don't know what you're talking about, simple things figured out are not spiritual awakening of any sorts. Here's a simple explanation, money is immoral.
Smoking weed certainly increases my awareness. I all of a sudden become very aware of my heartbeat. Did I just miss one? Am I dying? Cue googling "Is a resting heart rate of 95 a symptom of a heart attack?"
To be truly spiritually awakened, you need to be redeemed by Jesus Christ and forgiven. Everything else is just a distraction.
I think this is something stoners tell themselves for some reason.
I see absolutely no evidence for it aside from anecdotes.
And, given the amount of nefarious actors we have on here at any time, I think this place is proof that the weed=spirituality concept is downright bollocks.

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of a storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
For your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of a storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
For your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
I am partial, but the best football song ever made is a song I doubt youve heard. The artist is the Villa decree and the song is Aston Villa thats who. Sod Status Quo and come on you reds, its all villa baby. PS as soon as William becomes king start backing Villa to win trophies as that will be the way of it. UTV SOTC
Club loyalties aside...
best full terrace song...OUFC yellow submarine (1980s)

Time for A Deeper Game, Any Suggestions?
It's been awhile since I've had time for anything but casual games, anybody wanna suggest something I'm parti al to cool sci fi worlds.
If you haven't already, I highly recommend playing the Mass Effect trilogy. I know it's a bit old now but it still holds up and is pretty deep, especially the first game. And I'd agree with sidetracked and say Outer worlds is probably the best recent Sci FI rpg.
Haven’t ever tried Outer worlds but seen a little YouTube video of it. Looks an awesome game. Fallout 4 is quite a good game to loose some hours to, though it isn’t quite sci fi it has element of it through out.
Mass effect best enjoyed on PC as it doesnt work well with controller! Do it! P99 Everquest is deep enough to lose a lifetime too. Football Manager series too if you like that sort of thing. Diablo 2 ressurected ok i suppose, not sure id call it deep. Someone has a thread on WoW classic, so thats gonna be deep enough.
I'd recommend Prey if you haven't played this one already?
It's a super atmospheric, story rich, open world set aboard a space station. Some really cool stealth and crafting elements in there. Killer sound track to boot!

I really enjoyed Outer Worlds recently. It's a sci-fi action RPG with a really cool world to explore. It can get fairly challenging on the highest difficulty.
i think it was on steam just bought all the bio shock games 1+2 the remastered 1+2 and infinite less than £20
If you want a deeper story and plenty of hours play I would recommend Assassins Creed (I've just completed Origins which was good fun), and Red Dead 2 (No spoiler but there is a "Virus" story arc which kinda fits in with the times).
If youve got an XBOX id give the Game Pass a go - Theres always offers available for new customers who havent subscribed to it yet.

have played ever one of the assassins creed games am ruining both origins and odyssey atm on my laptop
The Fallout franchise is hard to beat. Fallout 3, fallout New Vegas, fallout 4 , fallout 76. Bethesda creates the richest and most immersive worlds imo.
Currently playing new vegas at the moment played them for years only one I wasn't a fan off was 76 the story behind is really interesting
Civ 6, its even on Switch. Apart from that, I second Outer World's, Fallout, Elder Scrolls etc. If your a fan of old skool jrpgs like early Final Fantasy then I highly recommend the latest Dragon Quest.
I'd recommend journey to the savage planet, its light and funny but also an rpg/explorer, with mysteries and strange creatures about the place. It reminds of portal alot even though its not very similar, think i get the same kind of enjoyment from it.
Call of Cthulhu is a fun, dark game. It’s linear so you won’t log a million hours into it. Just twisted goodness!
If you are into JRPGs, please give Xenosaga 1-3 a try. The Gameplay gets better over time , the music and story are really something else. Still one if my favourite PlayStation 2 Series. I had a crush on KOS-MOS fir the longest time. After i finished the series i was in bitter-sweet gaming heaven.
Outer Worlds springs to mind - intelligent writing and great Sci fi world.
You want a deep sci fi game with action? If you have a PS4 and haven't already played Horizon Zero dawn, then just play that. Definitely one of the best of this gen.

outer world was a let down it just did not grab me at all and i love games like that (am still playing skyrim and fallout 4 atm)
if it's a deep story you want I'd recommend Life is Strange 1 & 2. Some might say it's boring but it's great if you're stoned cause your brain can't process to much shit going on but u can control the outcomes by making decisions. Another one would be steins;gate with is time travel done right but this would come under visual novel category.
If you have want to make your own Story I can recommend Starsector or Rinworld. Both are really great „Sandbox“ Games.
thanks to all my biggaz on this you are really good recommenders, ive tries almost everything and its hard to narrow down :)
If you play borderlands 3 on PS4 let me know if you need weapons, artefacts or class mods let me know. I’ve played all four characters the full story and all dlc so far so let me know when you get to level 60 and I will send you stuff if needed.
Eve never played seen someone play it though very in-depth, mass game, i’d have a look if i was in to sci fi
Mass Effect Legendary Edition, Mass Effect Andromeda, Stellaris, Endless Space 1&2, Star Wars The Old Republic (MMO), Star Wars Knights of The Old Republic 1&2, Star Wars Rebellion, Surviving Mars, every Fallout (including the old, old ones), Dawn of War 2&3, Warhammer Gladius, Warhammer Deathwing, all the Half Life's and all the XCOM series! Phew, hope this helps 👍
If you're into sci-fi worlds I cannot recommend 'Outer Wilds' highly enough. One of the most creative, exciting and engaging games I've ever played. Just you, a space-ship and a mini universe to unravel.
Not to be confused with 'Outer Worlds'. Which is a fine game in itself, just a bit generic.

I'm currently with no pc... But can't wait to revive my ps1 and ps2 memories on the renovated Mafia.

Extrovert bias, the invisible discrimination
im an extrovert and just for that im going to hurt you:
![[human behavior]](https://i3.littlebiggy.org/images/u/w/300/PtBBREtWaSbdTySo.jpg)
Extrovert bias, the invisible discrimination
tldr we are ruled by loudmouths!
I often feel sorry for the extroverts I know because they are never happy just in their own company. I think that must be awful, to need to be with other people all the time….
I am very much an introvert. The temptation to agree blindly is high.
But I am also highly critical of everything too. Perhaps that aspect is stronger than the introvertedness.
I feel like one of our societal problems is we seem to be seeking victims of discrimination obsessively. The want to be seen as a victim seems like something that would not help me as much as hold me back.
Victimhood has become a currency.
Jussie Smollett, who is currently imprisoned being good evidence.
The story of a lady in Barrow who falsely accused multiple men of rape, grooming and people trafficking is not all that well documented but it's another example.
There is a documentary on the subject from a universally despised former EDL member who recently left the country due to the undermining of a super injunction put on a film they produced. I am not a fan of this person in any way, but their film on this case was honest and details really covered quite well.
Emma Kenny also has covered it on a YouTube video, but it doesn't have the same feel as a documentary with much raw footage. That is why I mention the former.
Her lies were astonishing. The mistakes by the police, msm and other celebrities bringing attention to the lady's plight all astonishing.
Ruined multiple men's lives and caused 2 to attempt suicide.
All because she wanted to be a victim. A rare case but micro is from macro and such.

pro bono pro tip 1 GOLD RUSH WORLDWIDE
Hell even the English speaking peoples havent been properly colonized. Ireland don't have a bigga selling. The entire Continent is empty where are the Napoleons? As for the East get that right and they'll change the name of this place to big biggy.
I you're a seller in europe or asia get started now, you're in great shape day 1.
if you're anyone else invite that seller or even better just make a help page in your own language with referral links. Give visitors a little native language support and you earn you every single time they make a purchase afterwards.

Any biggaz doing 16:8?
this bigga
We are all over fasting 16:8 / OMAD (One Meal a Day) - 24 and 72 hour fasts, highly recommend it. There are so many facets to it, physically and emotionally better, clearer mind, feeling of connection and spirituality.
Couple of pointers that really helped us in the early stages:
1. You need to have a good relationship with food before you embark on any type of fasting
2. Think about the types of foods you regularly eat - heavy on carbs, processed foods, levels of protein and fats. Carbs tend to generate appetite and cause those hunger pains so its worth thinking about balancing more with proteins / fats so you can move your body into sources of energy from good fats / protein.
3. Do you eat breakfast or skip? Normally eat late dinners. Worth working out when is best to have the 16:8 period - tends to be easier to skip breakfast and have your eating window between 12-8pm
4. Making sure that the last meal you eat is as "nutritious" as possible. Meaning making sure its fully of good, healthy foods reach with good fats as these are the last to leave the digestive system and therefore provide satiety.
5. Make sure you keep busy for the first few days you do your fast as you will probably think about food more because you are restricting yourself (typical when you cant have something, its all you think about!). After a few days you will start to get into a rhythm with it.
5. Try not to fall into the temptation of over-eating or treating yourself to "naughty" foods because you have been so good in the day ;-)
Hope that helps friend, fasting is part of our lives now and not only have we seen weight loss but we have much more energy, we don't seem to get sick anymore and more importantly we have a better understanding of what foods work and don't serve us
Peace biggaz :-)

Totally into it. I tend to eat within an 8 hour window everyday and I have never been healthier (I'm 40 btw). Me and me mammy were talking about this for her digestion yesterday. She's even starting to have trouble with some veg so her digestion needs addressing.
I concur with the Psychonauts (hey guys! Love ya!), one needs to have a good mental and emotional relationship with food to get the best out of fasting. Personally, if I had three wishes one would be that we don't need to eat unless we want to for pleasure, I found the whole thing time consuming and would rather just do something else. I learning to appreciate each mouthful through conscious eating. Fasting seems to help with this for me.
I hope you find something that works for you. ❤️

Are you into fitness, nutrition etc mate? Not that it specifically had its benefits to the fitness industry but how I used it anyway. I'd highly recommend it as wirght loss technique and to improve general life health. I'd retype what psycho typed but he pretty much everything on the head
The wife and I have just started IF again. It's the only way I have been able to control my weight consistently in the last 14 years. I have tried all the fad diets and this is the only way I have managed to stick to a consistent weight.
I guess it's still about less calories in than our but just controlling it in an easier manor.
Im still over weight but I'm not massive which if I continued down the path I was going i would have ended up massive.

In some parts of India fasting it's referred has Ekadashi (2 x month)
It's align with moon phase and when our bodies are more open to this process.
It's a super powerful cleansing. It's also quite challenging

Fixed penalty notice?
Has anybody else received a fpn today in the post? Seems one of our vendors has been flytipping and I recognise the return address as I used to use him a lot but haven’t since probably February which is even more worrying. With the evidence they’ve sent me there’s seems to be a lot of addresses on there so I’m guessing I’m not the only one!
Yes mate and loads of other peoples tracking details for other packages too! Just put it in the bin not out on the streets! 😂
Is the evidence you’ve seen opened parcels with the customers names on front and return address you recognise on the back?
Yes mate I am the customer and the return address is the one the vendor always uses for returns. It was in the photos attached to my pcn. Hate littering at the best of times!
So how did the vendor get these opened parcels, with tracking details, back in order to dump them 🤔 somethings not adding up.
Never use your real name when ordering if you use your home address, gives you at least some deniability.

It’s been repackaged before sending hence why he has it. Not sure why he would bother to repackage though.
Im not totally sure i understand.....a vendor has thrown away lots of rubbish fly tipping and that rubbish included things with your name & address on? and coz of that you got a fine for doing the fly tipping yourself? :O
Thats fucking crazy and very lazy of the vendor! Have you contacted them about this mate?

#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.

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. :)
