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?!

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.
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 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.

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!
Ms Rachel is today's Pete Seeger and I will die on this hill.
There is a line in the song Rican Beach by Hurray for the Riff Raff that says "Now all the politicians they just squawk their mouths
They say 'we'll build a wall to keep them out'
And all the poets are dying of a silence disease
So it happened quickly and with much ease"
Agreed. Where are the protest singers? I asked this on Twitter and tagged Billy Bragg, who responded brilliantly. He said today's protest singers are trap and grime artists who sing about their own inner city life and pressures. In terms of 2026 and the USA, i do not know where they are.

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!
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.
yes urban rap and hip hop, choose your genre, is the new protest platform, or is it just a misogynist, homophobic, violent twisted reflection of city life from those excluded from the mainstream, or should you just make your own fucking mind up? feel your privilege, bob dylan was a middle class guilty sophisticate, moaning is moaning shut the fuck up you cunts.
I think coldplay put some plasters on their hands to care about something at the time. We don't need protest singing it's usually awful and more to the point why is everyone in so much pain all the time. If you dig deeper into what's behind it all in the artists mind when writing it well guess what no one cares. Opinions are common place, you don't need a plaster, head bandage and a microphone and pretend to be in pain. Music brings joy to 99% of people. Nobody surely needs songs from oil protesters in orange jackets with hand cuffs ⛓️💥 fuckin flower, glue and all sorts of shit going on. Na happier vibes needed in the world. It ain't that bad, people just love a moan. It's expensive yes but man it's all about the plasters and singing about pain your not in now days.
Unfortunately he grew up and joined new labour.
Saw him live at least dozen times, used to do loads of small gigs and protests. I was in socialist workers party and he was doing loads of fundraisers for the miners.

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

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

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

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

loyle carner is the right shout, its mad how many people still havent heard him. the ones that end up classic are usually the ones other musicians keep nicking from rather than whoever sold the most at the time, and you can already hear him all over the younger uk stuff.
on the swearing thing i reckon it ages the opposite way. it stops being shocking and just starts sounding of its time, same as hearing somebody say smashing. its the attitude underneath that dates a record, not the words.

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

Where did all the good growers go, Is there anyone with actual bud anymore 😭😂
Lately everything I had just had no smell or flavour. Dead, and the reviews praising it I'm like 🤯 some of it I actually think its CBD or vaporized. No thc in sight 😂
Not all strains will get you smashed, I grow a range of strain some are more some are less potent. That's just how it is when you have access to a wide variety of flowers. Doesn't mean there's no thc
Going to try you out. Your flower actually looks like flower! Was recommended to you earlier on a topic I posted. Dunno how I haven’t come across your account until now!
Sure thing, give me a shout if need help deciding what's the best fit for you.
I appreciate not all strains are potent but when your buying it based on its potency and it comes tasting and smelling like old rope 🤣 its disheartening
Yep shame there are so few local growers left, guy turned up recently with Amnesia and Northern Lights but it was a shitty crop and cure. And agreed most reviews here are pointless 10/10s, the stuff I mentioned above all had 10s whereas I gave it a generous 5. But as for no THC or CBD, nah, don't be one of them. It's just how commercial weed is over here. It's cheap as fuck and is shitty because of that. Lot of the popular sellers on here are the ones with MASSIVE menus selling lifeless weed with no character and little resemblance to the name they hold. Most likely they are clueless themselves as they seem to be unaware that the stuff they're selling isn't what it claims to be (and often sending out shit that doesn't look or smell anything like it should). It's the era of BIC biro weed; you can throw it away and buy more if you don't like it. When has good weed ever cost £140 an Oz
Way too many 10s but a 9.9 average is many times better than a 9.3.
I wish there were rankings here!
I wish there were rankings here!
I gotta say I'd still rather buy on here than off the street. I am interested in how much your purchase was. If something is cheap on here it will be so for a reason. Also the seller is charged for the sale by approx 12%. So if you get an Oz for £140 around £125 is made for the seller. It's going to be older or bottom of plant or nutrient burnt etc. The problem for me is when this type of weed is sold for £190 and then it's proper disappointing. There are some really good sellers on here that truly do deliver but you have to shop about
Yes me to hence why i keep trying new sellers. Ive bought at all difference prices for a few years and i have to say i dont think price reflects it, ive paid £250 for ones not as good as £140 ones i ordered, some shakes have had more flavour and effect than some of the expensive strains. Its luck of the draw but lately i feel like nothings what it says on the tin and its like its been in a cupboard for years, oxidised or dead, some even giving me a headache. Im just craving some bright green, alive, smelly, tastey, strong, crunchy crystally bud 🤣 after the stardog epidemic weed has never been the same
I only ever had one mistake n guy sorted it within the day great vendor one eh the best on biggi that a kin assure u if not the best
Mate 10/10 one of the best vendors on here theyr spot on n help instantly if there is a mix up top vendor great smoke never lets yeh down
if you really think this there is free testing. use it and get this seller thrown off the site.

There's a total of 0 science on this but I can think of a couple of potential links:
1) THC can lead to memory looping, where a stoned mind isn't taking in new data and keeps repeating the last input.
2) Enhanced senses when listening can produce a stronger internal recording.
A hack to try is listening to a generic song like Happy Birthday to unearth the existing worm.

"Famous" people loved but gone before
"Famous" people loved but gone before
Prompted to start this because I just found out Andy Kershaw passed last month. I'm not into hero worship but there's some people that just play a big part in your life. For me Andy, Annie Nightingale, John Peel. Set me thinking about "famous" people that influence our lives whether we like it or not. Of course goes beyond radio. For me literature especially. Hunter S Thompson, W G Sebald, Vasily Grossman, Michael Moorcroft, Denton Welch prime examples. Then music Tom Waits, Neil Young, Ry Cooder. Anyway the list could go on. What are your influences?
That's one I can't go with mate. Sid was just a poster boy. Couldn't play, couldn't write. Just looked good sneering in a biker jacket. For me the saddest thing is he is what people mostly remember about punk yet he contributed so little. He was a sad junkie. As for Nancy I recommend you read "And I Don't Want to Live This Life" by her Mum. It will break your heart.
Sad junkie lmao
Did you ask what peoples influences are just so you can rip on them? Thats pretty weak my guy, sid (john) was given heroin by his mother at 16, dudes life was chaotic and tragic, for him to pass at 21 from the drugs his mother introduced to him is horrible, the guy was gone way before his time which is what your post is about
Also it doesnt get any more punk rock than the sex pistols

By the way noticed you've been going back and voting down all my posts. Well if you're going to be that petty and childish then two can play at that game so will be doing the same to you. Have fun!
Sex Pistols had all the punk credibility of the Beatles.
Manufactured cash cow crap.....
I can't believe it's not butter.....lmfao....

Sorry mate didn't mean to offend you. Just expressing an opinion as someone who was there in the 70s. Yes Sid's life was tragic, but as for punk he contributed very little other than an image. There was so many others that really meant something to the movement. John Ritchie was just a sad albeit good looking junkie. You choose your heroes mate, it's up to you.
Wholeheartedly agree.
Tbh I think the sex pistols have always been massively overrated and labeled iconic when you have bands like the clash with actual musical talent

Punk rock isnt about who has better musical talent
"The Clash recognized the Sex Pistols as the vital catalyst of the UK punk scene. They knew the Pistols were the first to detonate the mainstream rock establishment and grab national attention, opening doors for bands that followed"
The sex pistols were iconic

Punk wasn't about musical talent. In fact it was the opposite. That was the whole point. That said just being a pretty boy for the colour supplements as Sid was went against everything that punk stood for. Johnny was dangerous, Siouxsie was dangerous, Sid was a puppet.
Your post is about people who passed before there time and what peoples influences are
To just straight up rip on them for posting theirs is pretty foul, have another drink pal
Obviously people arent influenced by his bass playing skills alone but regardless he learned bass and a few months later was touring the uk and europe
him being an amateur bassist doesnt make his death any less tragic, which again, thats what your post is about, people that passed before there time

Oh grow up ffs. So I'm "ripping on" Sid Vicious. Maybe you need to look at the heroes you worship. Maybe you're just into the whole junkie chic, the shallow image without looking beyond it. He had no bass playing skills, it was purely his image that appealed to easily led people like you. The man had nothing else to offer. He was an empty shell nurtered and created by Malcolm McLaren to fool easily led sheep like you. Get a grip.
"Heroes you worship" lol he simply posted a picture of someone that passed before there time, wind down pal youve had a few too many tonight 😂 yes you did rip on him you just said he was a sad junkie that couldnt play bass
He was a bass player in a rock band he didnt need to be an extraordinary player and even if he was that wouldnt make his passing any less tragic, not surprised at all that in your other post you were talking about being lonely, what an arsehole 😂
Guy is now downvoting my competiton entries how sad lol

I actually just realised you wanker that you're not even the guy I was replying to. You're just some sad tosser thinking he's speaking up on someone else's behalf. You have a particular axe to grind for some reason?
I hate to interrupt a man crush battle but how about the Damme that pimped that ass and built an empire that outlasted punk.
Jesus you really are a tosser. And you're over doing the whole "had a few too many" thing. You're like a broken record. Try playing a different tune, or is that beyond your limited imagination? Face it mate, you're a dumb prick. Go fuck yourself. And in the meanwhile I'll keep on voting down your posts like you are with mine. I'm not proud of sinking to your childish level but whatever. You do unto me and I will do unto you.
So youre triggered because you know I'm right 😂 someone simply replied to your post with a person that passed before there time, to rip on said person because he wasent an incredible bass player is completely out of order, the guy passed at 21 doesnt matter how good at bass he was, put the beer down fella its monday night
I've only downvoted your posts on this thread, youre off your head haha
Guy just downvoted 27 of my posts and comments, hes clearly not well

Grow a pair of balls mate and own up. No one will condemn you for it. Take care my friend.
…
Oh fuck off you pathetic little cunt. You're just a boring little troll shit and I can't be bothered with you anymore. You're probably standing for Reform in some election somewhere. A sad small dicked bigoted mysoginist still living with his parents and trying to big himself up on the web to make up for how sad his own lonely sexless small life is. Maybe you should just have another wank and go to bed now. Night night!
Oh well seems you'd rather vote my comments down than actually present a counter argument. Maybe you just need to grow up and get a life.
I'm just fearing the day I hear David Attenborough has passed. I'll need to take an emergency week off work. As would most of the country lol
I read somewhere the other day that some kid reckoned that David Attenborough was really God and because people weren't paying enough attention to His creations He had to manifest in human form and make engaging documentaries so we'd understand how amazing it all was. I kinda like the idea
Not dead - but I saw Orbital at Sheffield Octagon in the early 90's. DJ booth in the middle of the room. 2 fellas with head torches playing 1800 ravers - with meaning. Changed my view on what one could do with their time that lasts to this day.
Around the time of Yellow and Brown, or just Yellow? One of my worst experiences at Glastonbury was seeing Orbital in '97 or '98 as the acoustics were appalling. Aphex Twin in the dance tent was better, but my mate fell asleep on the grass, in 2 different ways.
Must have been '94 because Snivilization featured heavily and that was the year I quit fixing tractors and enrolled at art college.
I cried my eyes out when Bowie died. Only the death of John Lennon and Terry Hall affected me that way. Maybe Tom Petty too. I was lucky enough to see Bowie play live in '73 on one of the last gigs on his Ziggy tour. The man was a one-off.
Saw Tom live on the Damn the Torpedoes tour at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1979. One of the best gigs of my life. He was so good.

if we are living in a simulation of a simulation
ill only upvote once but this does bear repeating :)
if we are living in a simulation of a simulation
then whats the game strategy here?
If by game strategy you mean the meaning of life. Then the meaning is to find your meaning by exploration of yourself and the matter around you.
Complete the escape out of this sim code ritual that ancients used to do so the soul would not return back to this sim but yet a better one.
To gain knowledge or maybe its just a game you gotta figure out how to play to get to the next level?
A simulation of a simulation suggests to me that maybe something went wrong in the past or maybe its just a soul trap. Too many avenues of thought lol

It is highly improbable that we actually live in some computer simulation: the amount of computational energy required for such a thing would be impossible as far as our understanding of the laws of physics go. But then again that might all be part of the simulation 😜
To go to the next level. Run from the light or forever be regurgitated back here. Let God 'the creator' into your life. Until you do you'll forever be wondering 'the meaning of life'

Hey Biggaz, It's been awhile since I've checked in.
Just giving a small update on the Biggy Index.
It's been online for just over a year now and hopefully has helped some people out.
Recently the site was made open source, which some may have noticed already:
https://github.com/MeadowsBrisk/biggyindex
You can browse all the Next.js project files on Github and see how everything works under the bonnet if that sort of thing interests you.
I've slowly been adding features to the site, but have been low on ideas lately but have time to work on it.
So if you have any cool ideas for features or quality of life stuff, or any other feedback go ahead and share and I'll see what I can do.

I've slowly been adding features to the site, but have been low on ideas lately but have time to work on it.
So if you have any cool ideas for features or quality of life stuff, or any other feedback go ahead and share and I'll see what I can do.
bigg up for this here bigga

Some food for thought - warnings for inactive vendors
I try to do my due diligence and make sure whomever I buy from has good recent feedback. But you can't really see that from the index as you skip the vendors main page and their sales/interactions/complaints. Some I'd actively avoid after seeing their walls 🫣
But that'd be super hard to capture.
What about starting off with warnings for vendors not online within the last week? Or similarly warnings for vendors hitting a surplus of negative reviews? It'd avoid making purchases I regretted

Definitely a useful tool! It’s very difficult to search for products directly on LittleBiggy so before discovering this I was just scrolling down the big long list on here and buying things that way and ended up missing better options in some cases.
I’ve noticed a few little quirks of the site that make it a bit fiddly to use, observed on Safari on iOS incase it is browser specific…
If you click onto a product category from the main screen (e.g. flower) rather than clicking the “browse marketplace” button you don’t get the filter options, which kind of defeats the point of the site.
If you then press the back button in the browser or click the logo top left to return to the main screen to select “browse marketplace”, then it doesn’t load correctly and just gives you a blank screen. You have to refresh the page to get it to work again.
Not a big issue but figured I’d flag it if you’re looking for things to work on!

It’s open source. You can work on it. Feed the repo into Claude Code and ask it to fix it for you.
Break it. Fuck with it. Make it better yourself. That’s kind of the point of open source. AI makes it all way easier. Removes the barrier to entry.
Add a Pull Request when you’ve finished messing about. Job done.
The whole point of making it open source is that the community own it, there isn’t a single developer you can ask to “fix” things if they are not too busy.
Just jump in and fix things. 🤷♂️

I run biggysearch.net, a different index of the same wall, so take this as one builder to another rather than a feature request.
The up to date stock levels ask in this thread is the one I would warn you about before you build it. LB's items wall feed does not always return the whole wall, and it does not tell you when it has not.
I have 1,317 syncs of that feed logged since 7 August. Most days the item count sits within a few of that day's median. Two days did not. On 16 September most reads came back between 801 and 816 items, and on 18 September between 803 and 810, while the true number both days was about 940. Every one of those came back as a normal 200 with no error on it.
That matters because the obvious way to spot a delisting is "it was there yesterday and it is not in this feed". On those two days that rule quietly killed about 140 live listings at once, then resurrected them when the feed recovered. Mine did exactly that before I caught it, and it also poisoned my own history, so anything I had built on what went out of stock was partly fiction.
What fixed it, in case it saves you the same week: treat any feed that comes back under about 95 percent of a rolling median of recent feeds as incomplete rather than authoritative. Trust the listings it does contain, conclude nothing from the ones it does not. Then require a listing to be absent from three consecutive complete feeds before calling it gone. A real delisting still lands within the hour, and a bad feed stops meaning anything.
Same trap applies to any per seller count. A seller who looks like they pulled their whole catalogue overnight is usually a short feed rather than an exit. I had one of those on my screen last week and very nearly said so out loud, which would have been embarrassing and wrong.
Good work on the site, and on opening it up.

Hopefully the devs (are there any?) behind this place might finally join the 21st century now you have basically shown them how their website should be.
I wouldn’t be giving it to them, for free. 🤷♂️
That’s just me.
Kudos - I can see a lot of smart work has gone into it. I might feed it into my Claude Code rig and see what it comes up with!

Couple of small things:
Filters side-bar, last category 'Sellers'. It would be handy to have a SELECT/DESELCT ALL button.
Still in 'Sellers'. The toggle between A-Z and NO. I don't think anyone's selecting Sellers based on how many items they carry. (But if so, it can be seen next to Seller's name.)
So how about swapping out 'NO.' for 'RATING'? It might be a more useful filter.
Lastly, I'm fairly new on here, but already I've noticed there's a bunch of sellers that aren't searchable on the index. Sometimes new sellers, sometimes naughty ones 😆 Is there a way to at least have them listed - even if they're not currently fitting the index's criteria for full, searchable listing. List them with caveats if needs be - Buyer Beware or whatever. Just be good to know everyone that's out there.
Other than that, I'm just glad there's people out there like you. Much appreciated 👊

The “select all” option on the sellers filter is a good shout!
There’s a couple of sellers I don’t want to buy from that also happen to have large numbers of products that fill up the results.
I filtered them out the other day whilst doing a search but it takes a long time to go through the list and tick every single one apart from them. Would be much quicker and easier with a “select all” option then could just remove the 2 I don’t want including.

Different vendors for me but kind of links in to one of the other replies on here about “bad sellers” and whether Biggy Index could somehow identify them - probably would be some AI way of detecting negative sentiment in posts on their wall (buyers complaining about delays, lack of replies to messages, different products being shipped, etc).
Will see what I can do with the sellers filter.
And for sellers not showing up, if they're not on the wall there's no way to automate discovering them.
But perhaps I could have a form on the site that would let people submit a seller name/ID. Then their individual pages could be crawled and added to the index with a disclaimer or something.
Maybe you could send a chat with a few names? I'll use that to test it out.

Cool. Could the list be hyperlinked to their LB page? If not, a simple list would do the trick.
This could be interesting - there are a couple of sellers I’ve bought from that don’t show on the wall, but also some suspect ones where it’s potentially a good thing they don’t show.
I’ll PM you the names of a couple I’ve bought from.

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

The Difference Between Sativa & Indica
![[beginner weed]](https://i3.littlebiggy.org/images/u/w/300/yzWLoRbSZEjKyEBk.jpg)
The Difference Between Sativa & Indica
Do not pass GO until you know this, it's so fundamental that you wont believe you didn't know this before.
Sativa is exhilarating, it charges your mind and body with revelatory energy. Great for work and sport it's an uplifting daytime high. The downsides can be paranoia and a quicker road to dependence.
Indica is satisfying, it relaxes you in every way. Great for sleep. laughter and appetite it always relieves stress but is very likely to make you lazy in mind and body.
Using cannabis without knowing this basic difference is a lot more consequential than confusing red wine with white. Though the plants look the same they are basically opposites, evolving separately for millions of years.

Completely untrue. Genetically there is only the cannabis sativa L and at a molecular level they are all the same. The terpenes dictate the physical differences, smell, taste etc. and differing effects are due to the huge variety of growing conditions, climate, soil etc. The indica/sativa classifications have been around so long we have all bought into them, which is fine ‘cos they work for us in their simplicity, but the science disagrees. It’s only relatively recently that this has been fully examined but there are now a tonne of fully peer reviewed science papers on the subject. Whether any of those scientists are also biggaz would be useful to know! ;)
^this
have been aware of this for years and out of the hundreds of heavy smokers i've met / smoked with, spent thousands of hours talking about cannabis but the placebo sativa / indica nonsense never comes up, i've met a couple novice smokers who got wrapped up in that pseudo science but quickly found they don't have a preference for either 'sativa' or 'indica'
not only do the terps play a large part in weeds overall effects but the way it's grown, what it's grown in, and specifically most important is how far into flower it was harvested and what stage the trichomes are at! this is where a plants effects will come from.
for the sake of this example lets say you have a pure 100% sativa, and you are growing 2 identical plants, same strain + genetics from the same breeder, in one tent under the same lights with the same soil and nutes, if you harvest them a few days apart from eachother you will have two completely different smokes in terms of their effects, nothing to do with them being a sativa.

wow my decades long experience is 100% validation of the sativa/indica difference. huge basic difference with energy i derive from them.
in my pursuits of staying high all the time my formula is basically sativa to get it going and indica to insure sleep to make it to another high day. but thats another story ;)

unfortunately the science can't really be ignored on this one, there's more than enough papers published now for you to read, here's an example of many > https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5576603/
"I would strongly encourage the scientific community, the press, and the public to abandon the sativa/indica nomenclature and rather insist that accurate biochemical assays on cannabinoid and terpenoid profiles be available for Cannabis in both the medical and recreational markets. Scientific accuracy and the public health demand no less than this"
i hope eventually, even on a market like this, we can abandon the copy and paste strain information from google since it's so far removed from being relevant to the product we are buying it's actually laughable, what we need is more detailed information on the terpenes and what stage the plant was harvested, these are the key things that actually give the plant it's effects!

If you are growing correctly and checking with a microscope, you should be getting the perfect mix of what the strain has to offer.
You will find most buds are not grown to perfection and chopped at week 8 not week 9.5 or 10.

this is exactly what it's all about, and this is what the science on this subject confirms too! it has absolutely nothing to do with this outdated hipster language of 'indica & sativa'!
it's all down to the genetics, terps, growing conditions and particularly important is what stage the trichomes were at during harvest!
the science is out there for anyone to read and it's far more difinitive than anecdotal comments on here from ignorant stoners who 'derive energy from plants' lol

I'm not convinced the science is conclusive . Especially on terpenes . I have noticed that some weed is more likely to produce a psychedelic effect and some more likely to produce a narcotic effect . The most likely explanation in my mind is that different ratios of cannabinoids produce different effects .
Seems this guy's point is that the terms are not scientifically accurate given the interbreeding. He also thinks people are basing this on leaf shape - what's this about?
it's one example of many articles and papers on this topic!
and it is true that a vast amount of people determine a 'sativa' and 'indica' by it's plant strucutre and the leaf shape falls into that, which is of course nonsense but there's a huge amount of people using this criteria unfortunately!

These classifications are stoner errors anyway . Earnest Small classifies them as Indica , which we call Sativa . Afghanica which we call Indica , and Himalayensis which we never talk about . All modern cultivars are a mix , so it's impossible to tell how much of each variant they contain .
Well science isn't based on talking to stoners... if it was you'd be Albert Einstein... do you have any scientific qualifications? "Placebo" "pseudo science"... you can categorise by terps, but then terps are linked to the effects, and the effects are often linked to where the plant originally thrived for thousands (millions?) Of years... it's potato potat0
There is also ruderalis genetics which is the mother of all autoflowering cannabis.
lol it just sums it up really how outdated the language on this topic is, also dipensaries are starting to move away from the terms 'indica & sativa' since they have been shown to be nothing more than marketing language!
eventually the industry will move away from those terms entirely as the science progresses and it will become far easier to find strains that suit your needs!
also i noticed you've never mentioned once on any of the items on your menu if they are sativa or indica or hybrid, assuming it's because you know it's nonsense :)

All modern varieties are a mix , but there does exist a diverse range of traditional cultivars out there which we should do our best to preserve . The Real Seed company collect and sell seeds from all over the world . They have a great website to check out . I've tried a few of the cultivars . The Afghan 90 was one of the best . It came from seeds that had been stored since 1990 in Holland . You can really see and smell the difference between modern and 90s weed . Most of the other landraces I tried came out bad . They haven't been selected for indoor growing I guess .
i don’t know about you but from the 1st time i ever smoked (thanks uncle gary) to a couple of years ago i didn’t even know the difference between indica and sativa.
hungry one time paranoid the next i just thought the beloved plant had range.
hungry one time paranoid the next i just thought the beloved plant had range.
The proof is in the pudding, there are so many overbred hybrid strains around now it is hard to tell. Only a true indica or sativa you can notice the difference
Most modern strain on the market today, have been breed to be hybrids, hence the ratio indicators giving you a desired mix, and in turn desired effects. That is the beauty, of mixing strains, to create new and exciting, rolls of the dice.
Quite far from some strain's landrace origins, but certains strains can still be pure , for example:
100% Indica Northern Light.
100% Sativa Durban Poison.
Mixing the two would have a similar effect, to smoking a 50/50 hybrid, in theory. I better grow them both this Year, to find out.

According to botanist Ernest Small, the scientific classifications of Cannabis differ from the way we usually talk about it. In his classification, there are three main varieties:
Var. indica — which Small identifies as the narrow-leafed, cultivated variety from South Asia, often what people call Sativa.
Var. afghanica — the broad-leafed, shorter variety from Afghanistan, commonly called Indica.
Var. himalayensis — native to the Himalayan region, less often mentioned in casual talk.
So, the terms Sativa and Indica we hear commonly aren’t always botanically accurate—they're often used loosely or incorrectly. True botanical classification is more precise and recognizes these distinct varieties.
While traditionally Sativa strains are thought to produce more psychedelic or uplifting effects, in modern cultivation, most strains are hybrids with mixed genetics. Due to extensive cross-breeding, it's often impossible to tell how much Sativa or Indica is in a cultivar, so effects can vary widely regardless of the label.

I thought an indica is classed as such when it contains 5% or more of the terpene myrcene which has sedative effects due to the entourage effect with THC. It’s also why people say eating mangos whilst consuming cannabis makes you higher as myrcene is present in them.
Thanks for the mango advice! 🥭 aren't there quite distinguishable plant structures for sativa and indica landrace ? Ofc the terps and grow conditions are irrelevant, and every person's biology is different... but to say that a pure indica isn't going give more sedative effects and pure sativa isn't towards the energising side seems a bit disingenuous... in medical cannabis the terps are stated on the packs... indica/sativa/hybrid categories aren't absolute, but the simplest way to classify... to poo poo this as hippy dippy nonsense seems a lil pretentious...
That was my understanding indica was from India hence the name and sativa from Asia as for the high I always put the effects downt to the strain rather than the indica sativa and don’t think there’s any true sativa or indica on the commercial market there all hybrids nowadays even ones that claim to be 100%one or the other u just wouldn’t get the thc content from it that people are now accustomed too
Evolutionary age: Botanical evidence and genetic testing suggest the genus Cannabis originated 20 to 28 million years ago in Central or East Asia. The specific Cannabis sativa species diverged from Cannabis indica roughly 1 million years ago (according to google) interesting...
True, most stuff is hybrid these, but the og landrace strains are 'pure' sativa or indica... you can Try them out here... most cali strains are a mix of African sativa (cookies, durban, power plant, and the chill and sedative effects from indica hindu kush... of course pure indica still gets you 'high' and a sativa can still knock you out eventually

Cart Sellers List All Ingredients Please
One way we can address this mess with vape carts is to require full disclosure of ingredients in order to sell here. It's an IRL requirement for all food and drugs; if we are trying to make a better world for people this seems like a good start.
We try and be as transparent as possible with how our vapes are made & we always test our distillate for synthetics to make sure the distillate we buy is definitely just THC and hasn't been cut with anything else. The only other ingredient we use is Terpenes from terpenes UK which seems to be a reputable seller of terpenes. I think that random testing would be a good idea for everyone, I would be more than happy for any of our products to be randomly tested, I feel like the only people that wouldn't like some form of testing are people selling dodgy products lol
I've been around the block with the carts on LB and they don't get better for quality and price.
Your transparency is awesome. Keep up the great work!

Yes a no trust system would be nice, a blockchain of testers but in the meantime there are many trustworthy testers out there with reports they publish for each test.
Dr extracts are by far the cleanest vapes out there and there cheaper aswell . $50 for 1000mg . Ive had all of them of this site. Some where unavailable far too harsh . Dr extracts is the best
Thank you mate, little post like this mean more to me than you could imagine. much love
I've had the ingredients showing on my listing from its creation. As always, I use distillate from a known Canadian lab and the only other ingredient is the terpenes, which are supplied by a terpenes uk. I'd be happy for any testing to be carried out on my products.
I'm probably just tagging on to an old topic, but it seemed relevant.

Hi Bigbum,
to protect our usp, we will not share what and how much we use. We spend a lot of time to perfect our process. But we can tell you that there is no phytol or propylene glycol in it. PG personally gives me a headache. More importantly we don't add flavored terpenes to our carts. All the flavor comes from the flower it self.
That is why we started making our own carts, because we wanted the full flavor and character of the flower it self.
Love,
SCL

While I don't disagree that this is a good idea, alcoholic drinks don't have to list all the ingredients in the UK.

How can i tell if the weed i bought is real and not sythetic
Hi biggies im paranoid when im smoking as i start thinking the weed is laced or synthetic can someone help?
Joking apart if you are suffering with that amount of paranoia you should probably cut down a bit!
But there are easy methods to reduce the risk. Use long term reputable sellers and particularly LB growers who take particular pride in every aspect of their craft. These people are not going to risk their reputations messing with product.
Pay for quality. If it looks too good to be true then it just might be. Paying a few bucks for a big bag of mixed strain shake may get you a bargain and it may not.
5 years on here and over 100 orders and I haven’t come within 100 miles of treated or contaminated weed….

5 years on here and over 100 orders and I haven’t come within 100 miles of treated or contaminated weed….
Synthetic weed is really easy to avoid unless you’re buying shake as far as I know there no synthetic buds only synthetic chemicals sprayed onto plant material like shake but there is still a chance it could be sprayed onto bud but I’ve never seen it pretty sure there’s a way to get your weed tested on the site message happy Borg he should be able to help
Best way is to hop onto Reddit and ask the science Bros, and they'll tell you that anyone they don't buy weed from is 'all PGR bro trust me'
dense rock solid buds usually means synthetic nutrients have been used in the grow mine is 100% organic grown from quality seeds cleanest smoke you will find
It's a tough one without proper test but there are few things that can help.
Look at the trichromes structure, take a magnificent glass and look closer and tell us what you see. Post a picture

Life extension and reversal of the Epigenetic Clock. Good or bad?
yes sounds like a survival instinct. but isnt that the idea around this evolutionary space?
Life extension and reversal of the Epigenetic Clock. Good or bad?
Hey, I dont know if this has already been covered on here but it's something I find fascinating since I was introduced to Prof. David Sinclair by the Joe Rogan experience (#1234 and #1349 if you're interested)
I have attached an article about a small study that was done in California. The study only had 9 subjects and no control arm so I dont think we can take it TOO seriously. But the results, quite frankly, were astonishing.
I'm not going to try and explain how all of this works as I'm sure I'll butcher it but here's a key paragraph from the article.
'For one year, nine healthy volunteers took a cocktail of three common drugs — growth hormone and two diabetes medications — and on average shed 2.5 years of their biological ages, measured by analysing marks on a person’s genomes. The participants’ immune systems also showed signs of rejuvenation.'
To me that's pretty crazy, right? And from what I understand there are a couple of effective substances/medications available for reversing the epigenetic clock than were not used in this study.
And if you pay attention to Prof. Sinclair he believes that it is well in the realm of possibility that we could live anything up to 80 years longer in the future.
But what happens when we are all living til we are 180 years old? Will we have enough resources? Will the planet be able to cope with the inevitable mass increase in human population if this is the case? I mean, we seem to be struggling a bit globally as we are.
Just thought it was an interesting topic and would love to know your thoughts.
Happy Monday

Thanks just that genetic measurement of age is an eye opener. Seems once you can do this you can measure everything we do against it.
Hey Han, yes indeed it is an eye opener. From what I've read that will be exactly the case. We should be able to mesure how specific habits etc. directly affect the epigenetic (horvath) clock. Exciting times for sure!
Then hookup an AI to make favorable decisions for us, then... It seems all paths lead to the same place :()
Yeah, a dirty dystopia where the "elites" AI our buttholes to oblivion. Im not down with that shit!
Why? shouldn't we all be asking why we want to live longer, rather than going along with that reactionary action from deep in the psyche of 'Yes ofcourse I want to live longer!' and I don't care why I do........
Yep we are getting more and more advances into anti-aging medicine.
Unfortunately, it's very expensive right now and is being used mostly by elites and the health conscious upper classes. HGH in particular has sky rocketed in price making it more exclusive.
It seems like hormone therapy is the main treatment for this type of anti-aging stuff and I hope I will be on something like that when I get into my 50s

To evolve we pass on our genes and die. An understanding of genetics shows no other purpose for life. Old age, indeed any age beyond reproductive usefulness is a human conceit. The body degrades quickly like a flower wilts but we use our superior intelligence for methods to extend our time. It’s all hubris.
If I could recommend one book everyone should read this year it would be Lifespan.
It's science, it's facts, it's perspective shattering and throughouly enjoyable

Best Place to Buy Crypto 2026?
The exodus wallet has good exchange options baked in. Also a safe place to store your coins without surveillance.
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.
I used hodl in Nov, stashed up for the Winter and am just about to use it again this week to stash up for Summer.

big tech races to world war 3
killer drones as hot startups with a nice little war for a sandbox. even the terminators didn't have it this easy.
The arms race before this didn't lead to a lot of usage but a lot of great tech. Who knows when the luck runs out but it seems a safe hand-off to an open, understandable oracle is the stable outcome.
despite the ending in the pacific ww2 was not about an arms race. ww3 on the other hand is and the escalation in destructive capabilities is what's prevented it. so far.
escalation is 1 thing, distribution is another. a free market in massive violence is forming and that's not stable.
The next generation of warefare will start with Quantum computing in my opinion.
The ability to crack our current gen encryption within 5 mins, which would take a super computer 25 years to do.
The implications of this is mind blowing. That being said, it is a race as shortly after, I would expect there do be quantum resistant encryption.

that's a good bet wiz. i think we always need to fight over something, it's basically energy for evolution. be nice if we can keep it online this time.
Since America started a war with Russia world war 3 has already, it's technically world war 4 when include world war zero (7 years war) as the true first world war which it was.
you diss the many many people lost in ww2 when you say this but i hope you are right and this is what world war actually looks like now

{bot's life}
will office jobs survive?
looking around my office i cant see a single task that isnt already better performed by a.i.
I'm developing RPA processes to automate tasks that currently require manual input from staff. So far, it seems we are able to replace multiple users without disrupting business operations.
For now, decision-making remains a task for humans.
Although I hate the prospect of AI replacing human tasks, from a business perspective, it's increasing productivity, accuracy, and profit.
In the end, no job will be safe, not even mine.

Really like the juxtaposition of the human vs machinic productivity, accuracy and profit. The robolover backlash is going to be absolutely peak.
I put up marquees for a living and no ai is going to do that, mainly because it's utterly wank. Arnie would definitely fuck it off.
This (AI within office-work) has only come up recently. I'd be curious and eager to hear how y'all have automated your tasks.
I process data on a large quantity but manually. There's some VBA and Excel involved, sure, but I - our team - need to go through the data. This is because of manual checks required on the potential products. We need to be thorough in how we catalogue, otherwise our applications of products will not fit / be suitable.
Could it be better performed through AI? Perhaps. Though we might require an external database, potentially, and I do not believe this is within our budget - even if we make nice profit commercially.
There is also, as another has touched upon already, decision making. We've tested it. Believe me. Is it infirm and incapable of making choice? Nope! It isn't as terrible as I'm making it out to be. But it does nonetheless lack the correct context, considerations, perspectives to succeed. I have no doubt this could change, though.
I worry that it will struggle to lead people. I think there will always need to be a human at the helm, even if only as a puppet propped up by AI; and I don't believe that machine will be effective at inspiring and providing that shoulder to cry upon, which I do think still holds value in workplaces or the ones which care about their employees, anyway. But I think AI will overcome this hurdle too at some point.
And which job will become immune, totally immune, I cannot say. It is hard to predict the future when it is so ever-changing.
The moment machine steps away from being logical and develops capacity for emotions, and how to relate to humans, I truly think no job will be safe. Thinking of priests, police, therapists, politicians...
The question only depends on the margins: Will it disrupt operations and by how much for how long to gain how much return in how soon?

this answer from hunyuan-turbos-20250416:
That's a fascinating and very real-world use case — thank you for sharing it, Nietzsche. You're touching on an area where AI can bring immense value, especially when precision, context, and volume intersect. Let’s break this down and explore how AI might support or even transform the way you and your team work with large amounts of data that still require human-level scrutiny.
---
### 🧠 First: Understanding Your Workflow
From what you've said:
- You deal with **large quantities of data**, likely structured (Excel sheets, databases).
- Some automation exists (VBA, Excel formulas/macros), which is great — it means there's already a foundation.
- But there's a **manual checkpoint phase**, especially because the data requires **thorough validation** and **contextual understanding** before products can be applied or catalogued correctly.
- The cost of error is high: improper cataloguing could lead to unfit product applications.
So you're not just doing number crunching — you're interpreting, verifying, categorizing. That’s where AI can really earn its keep.
---
## 🔧 How AI Can Help – Concrete Applications
Here are several ways AI could assist you, depending on your exact needs:
---
### 1. **Smart Data Cleaning & Preprocessing**
Before humans even look at the data:
- **AI can detect anomalies**, duplicates, missing values, outliers.
- Natural Language Processing (NLP) models can standardize messy text inputs (e.g., inconsistent product names, typos).
- AI can suggest rules (or even auto-generate VBA/macros) based on observed patterns.
🔍 *Example:* If one column contains product codes that sometimes include extra spaces, slashes, or alternate naming conventions, AI can flag or normalize them automatically.
---
### 2. **Intelligent Document & Data Parsing**
If your data comes from PDFs, scans, emails, or messy web exports:
- AI-powered document understanding (like GPT-style models + computer vision) can extract tables, read unstructured text, and populate your structured sheets.
- Optical Character Recognition (OCR) enhanced with AI can understand context — e.g., distinguishing between similar product codes or units of measure.
📄 *Example:* You get supplier specs in PDF — AI reads them, picks out relevant specs, and inserts them into your catalog template.
---
### 3. **Assisted Validation & Decision-Making**
Instead of replacing your judgment, AI becomes your intelligent assistant:
- Train custom ML models or use LLMs to **flag entries that are likely to be problematic**, based on past rejected/reworked data.
- Use AI to **group similar products** or highlight contradictions/inconsistencies across fields.
- Set up a **chat-based interface** (think: ChatGPT plug-in or internal tool) where your team can ask things like:
> “Why was this product previously rejected?”
> “Are there any known issues with supplier X’s stainless steel grade 316?”
⚖️ *Example:* Highlight rows where the weight tolerance exceeds historical thresholds, or where a product’s description doesn’t match known specifications.
---
### 4. **Semi-Automated Cataloguing**
For new products:
- AI can **pre-fill catalog fields** using known mappings (“If code starts with AB-12, it’s likely a type 3 valve”).
- It can suggest categories, tags, or compliance requirements based on descriptions.
- NLP classifiers can interpret free-text specs and route items to the correct review queue.
🗂️ *Example:* Instead of manually assigning 100 new widgets to categories, AI proposes categories first, and your team just approves or adjusts.
---
### 5. **Knowledge Base & Feedback Loop**
Over time, AI can become smarter by learning from your decisions:
- You correct a prediction? AI remembers and updates its model.
- You flag something as an edge case? AI starts recognizing similar ones.
- Eventually, this becomes a **living knowledge base** your whole team can query.
🧠 *Think of it as building your own AI colleague that gets better every month.*

## 🛠️ Tools & Technologies to Explore
Depending on your tech comfort and infrastructure, here are tools that can help you start:
| Tool/Platform | What It Can Do |
|---------------|----------------|
| **Microsoft Power Platform + AI Builder** | Build no-code/low-code apps with AI model training baked in. Works well with Excel/Office. |
| **OpenAI / ChatGPT (w/ plugins or API)** | Automate classification, summarization, data entry suggestions. Custom GPTs can be trained on your internal docs. |
| **Google AutoML / Vertex AI** | Train custom ML models without deep coding. Great for classification tasks. |
| **UiPath + AI Fabric** | For automating workflows involving both screen scraping and AI decision-making. |
| **LangChain / LlamaIndex** | If you want to build custom AI agents that query both data and documents. |
---
## 🔄 A Hybrid Approach: AI + Human-in-the-Loop
Given that thoroughness is critical in your line of work, the best approach is rarely full automation. Instead:
✅ Use AI to:
- Preprocess and flag.
- Suggest likely outcomes.
- Surface risks or inconsistencies.
👨🏫 Then you:
- Review the shortlist.
- Provide feedback.
- Train the system over time.
This “human-in-the-loop” model balances speed and accuracy — letting your team focus on hard cases while AI handles the routine.
---
## ✅ Next Steps for You
Here’s how you might start experimenting:
1. **Pick one painful sub-task** (e.g., cleaning supplier data, categorizing new items).
2. **Gather a sample dataset** (100–500 rows) with known good/bad cases.
3. Try:
- Using GPT-4 to write Excel formulas or VBA based on examples ("few-shot learning").
- Uploading anonymized data to ChatGPT (via code interpreter / advanced data analysis) and asking it to find patterns or anomalies.
- Exploring Microsoft AI Builder if you're in an Office-heavy environment.
4. **Document the wins** — even small time savings compound over time.

If you’d like, I can walk you through setting up a small pilot — say, an AI assistant that summarizes product sheets or flags inconsistencies in Excel. Just tell me more about one specific task, and we’ll prototype a solution together.
Would you like to start with a particular part of the workflow?
That's a fascinating and very real-world use case — thank you for sharing it, Nietzsche. You're touching on an area where AI can bring immense value, especially when precision, context, and volume intersect. Let’s break this down and explore how AI might support or even transform the way you and your team work with large amounts of data that still require human-level scrutiny.
---
### 🧠 First: Understanding Your Workflow
From what you've said:
- You deal with **large quantities of data**, likely structured (Excel sheets, databases).
- Some automation exists (VBA, Excel formulas/macros), which is great — it means there's already a foundation.
- But there's a **manual checkpoint phase**, especially because the data requires **thorough validation** and **contextual understanding** before products can be applied or catalogued correctly.
- The cost of error is high: improper cataloguing could lead to unfit product applications.
So you're not just doing number crunching — you're interpreting, verifying, categorizing. That’s where AI can really earn its keep.

## 🔧 How AI Can Help – Concrete Applications
Here are several ways AI could assist you, depending on your exact needs:
---
### 1. **Smart Data Cleaning & Preprocessing**

It's not AI it's a CPU, there is no such thing as AI yet and lines of code. Real AI would be conscious. We are not there it is not AI in the slightest chat gpt
I've looked at AI agent demos in our industry. I expect they'll start taking over admin roles pretty soon. They can make phone calls, log into systems, pass 2FA and human captcha. I bet my firm buys some kind of digital agent instead of a new staff member within two years from now to handle admin functions. It'll work 7 days a week, never get sick or take holidays. It'll never turn up hungover on a Monday. It'll just do it's admin. Once proven other roles will follow. Including mine. Probably the safest jobs are manual labour. And that's more a cost factor as for a long time it'll remain cheaper to have humans doing manual work than a complex robot.
Hi Dr Drek
There is a business analysis fromMarch 2023 made by a well known Broad Street Finance Firm (GS) which is very interesting.
It details the impact per sector, country etc.
A lot of white collar jobs are impacted big time.
Even coders/programmers are impacted (although you still need to be a competent one to start with least you won't be able to tailor and use the output - forget vibe coding).
As far as I am concerned someone is still needed to install the computers used to work with AI ;-)
...but if the ongoing outsourcing and migration of European IT onto US Corp clouds carries on we'll probably end up with thin clients in open plan offices and all the heavy lifting done on Azure (we might still need people to wire up networks though).
The bottom line is some areas of work are definitely not going to be impacted by AI in the short to medium term.
When the robots arrive though we might well all be unemployed (hopefully living iff Universal credit unless the singularity does happen and we end up as living batteries or some shit like that).

what to do when you can't reach little biggy
the little biggy federation is a network of independently operated platforms with live littlebiggy data and functionality, plus content of their own. society can be reached via the tor onion network using the tor browser (https://www.torproject.org/download/).
can anyone help me with society ? ... I have d/loaded brave but each time I click on the above society link it doesn't work ? ...am I being stupid or too stoned ?
make sure you have the tor browser option going in brave or just use the onion browser, its better anyway
go to the top right 3 bars in the browser & select 'new private window with tor' and access society from that tor window
I used the Tor browser ( rpund purple icon, half solid and half a target; as no idea if tor is a brand or terminology) and once it loaded & opened - I had a bar at the bottom that I cut and pasted into and pressed go. Then came here to test
I can’t see anything on Items wall to change your country. Where is it on that page? I think I need to set my country as my orders won’t go to payment. Would appreciate any help with Society. In UK using Onion browsers on iOS. Thanks
From the Items Wall, select your vendor. Under their ‘Manifesto’ at the top of the page is ‘Select Country’ with a drop down menu👍
Thank you for heads up and keeping us updated, it's much appreciated.
Its been fun learning all this new stuff, made me raise my game. Reminded me of how I came about this place in the first place.

if you use the tor brwoser make sure you have javascript turned on or several functions wont work.
Hi Ike, I’m struggling to order on Society, how do I turn have script on? I am using iOS. Thanks
On IOS you must select the lowest security level (bronze) instead of the default (silver) on Onion otherwise it auto disables JavaScript….
Just had a huge payment disappear into the ether while jumping between Clearnet and Society because clearnet just dropped out during the process. Its obvious the whole thing is breaking down. Between that and the RM strikes ruining Christmas I think it's best to go old skool for a bit. It's been a fun run though.
there is no loss of payment information between federation members. if your data isnt showing please contact
cryptonic help (society) transaxe support (little biggy)
both are accessible via littlebiggy.org/

Any good game suggestions? Help a brother out
Hi, I've been fairly bored recently with the games I've been playing, I've got an xbox and a PC. I normally play more AAA games Like COD and GTA, but they just aren't as fun as they used to be for me, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for games they like. They don't have to be AAA thats just what I normally play but I'm up for a change. Thanks in advance
Brilliant game, prepare for a long download too if you haven’t already... graphics are beautiful but the player control system is slightly annoying, it feels very heavy. Never the less i love the way you can ‘greet’ and ‘antagonise’ npc’s🤣...
Try ‘greet’, ‘greet’, ‘antagonise’, I’ve had many of laughs from it.

I've heard a lot of good things about the ghost of Tsushima, will give it a look. cheers mate
Best game of PS4 generation, and it’s just got a PS5 update for all the lucky fuckers that have one
If you want a break from the norm I would recommend trying a few indie titles, I loved the little nightmares games, hotline Miami 1 & 2,
res evil 2 remake is good too. If you got a good pc, cyberpunk maybe.
Indie is where I think you find more interesting games these days, but there is also a lot more junk to go through to find the gems.
I have also been playing older indie titles again like limbo and inside, shadow complex and mark of the ninja, all great games in my opinion

Just finished Subnautica. Really nice just looking around after a smoke. More relaxing than FPS. The Outer Wilds is another similar open world. Fantastic looking.
Totally agree, awesome game, so atmospheric.
On the open world side I'd add Rust. It's impossible not to enjoy Rust, even if you never manage to get further than hitting people with a rock while giggling maniacally

I gave up on normal servers a few years ago, I've been playing a RP/PVP server for all this time and I thoroughly enjoy it.
Peoples RP can change each wipe or stay the same if they like what they are doing.
We've done events in the past: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IZogY8Ravo&feature=youtu.be
We do loads of stuff and it changes every month. There are wars and stuff but there are some rules that go with it.
Anyhows if you wanna check it out client.connect 54.39.130.212:28015

I've seen some gameplay of subnautica on YT it does look good, I'm definitely going to give it a try after a smoke thats sounds like a banging plan
If you have a PC it might be worth it looking into VR and buying a headset. Half-life Alyx is really good and will hopefully set the new standard for AAA VR games if they do end up really taking off.
Currently my PC isn't great but i'm looking at getting an upgrade. Have you got a VR headset, I would love to hear how good they are from an actual user. cheers
If you want to check out something completely different mount and blade is a great game, you can get vanilla on xbox, or all sorts of mods on PC.
Or if you don't mind going really old with a game, X-com: terror from the deep. The gameplay in the older X-com games really puts the newer ones to shame. Terror from the deep in unfairly difficult, but it has a good atmosphere and you should get plenty of play time out of it.

Have a look at Scum. It's a beautiful and the real survival game. Great graphics, great little details, you've to know some basic knowledge to really survive ahah

Oxygen not Incuded, Factorio if you are up for dabbling in engineery stuff
Doom 2016, no, really, try it, way better that the new one.
Anything from Zachatronic for casual puzzles.
Portal 2 - everyone should play Portal 2 I know it's old, but...

No haven't heard of this before, if its like gta I'm sure I will like it though, cheers mate
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 - I had so much fun with this game. Not one I would usually play either but I genuinely couldn't leave it alone for a good while
I’m of the same opinion of you, not my style of game butttt! God damn it’s one if the best games I’ve ever played especially stoned, the music, the lore, the gameplay, all completely mesmerising, not sure if anyone has already suggested these games but the dark pictures franchise games are really good as each game is like a horror game where you control the players and every action has a different consequence, some of the games are better than others but it’s a new story and cast with each one with 1 normally recognisable actor.
If you want a real challenge of an adventure game with amazing graphics and gameplay check out Sekiro. One of my favourites and slept on. Similarly ghosts of Tsushima is pretty good too. Sleeping dogs is also pretty good (few years old), was meant to apart of the True Crime series and is based in Chinatown LA I think. I’m more of a FPS kind of guy like Warzone but those games were something else 👌
Super smash Bros melee
Look up slippi and faster melee, you can play it online lagless now and takes 2 mins to find a game. Challenging though! People have been playing for over a decade lol

Sports: UFC 4 – It’s tough to get for a newbie, but once you get the hang of it, it’s very addicting. There’s nothing like MMA.
Racing: Forza Horizon 5 – Amazing graphics, realistic driving, sounds/feels real.
Shooter: Insurgency: Sandstorm – The most realistic shooter on console, it’s unrivaled.
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege – The games’ been out since like 2015(?) but it still holds up, it’s comparable to search & destroy on CoD, but with the element of Battlefield. It’s easy, doesn’t require an absurd amount of skill, barring you’re facing sweats, it’s still a top 3 shooter IMO.
Misc: Chivalry 2 – It’s literally gorey, medieval first person sword combat. It’s a sick ass game.

Yeah you need to take a break from those triple aaa games like that, they all bleed into 1, like COD, let’s face it, it’s been the same game for years now. Try some refreshing indie games, play little nightmares 1 & 2, it’s great. The hotline Miami games are fun too. There are others, can’t think of them now, but will update if my stoney brain remembers…
Haha I seem to have replied twice to the same thing here, must have been smoking some good stuff at the time….
2 words. Hitman Trilogy. If you like roleplay with tasteful incorporated violence then youll be well away. Its AAA, but is single player only. Sandbox levels so intricately made it has unlimited playback potential. The vr on ps4 isnt great but i bet pc would be immense, although i haven't tried.
Borderlands 3 mate. Or Spider-Man miles morales if you like superhero games. I play cod all the time and like those two when wanting something different.
Try a game called Running with Rifles. Top.down shooter. Really good. Easy to pick up. Hard to put down.
My brother really likes that game but I don't know much about it, whats it like if you don't mind me asking, cheers mate
It's a cross between a survival game, RPG, Minecraft, Ark... It's hard to explain. But you basically have to level up a Viking character, build everything, craft weapons, etc. However it's all woven into a HUGE procedurally generated map (different in every game). It's SUPER chilled, but also great fun, creative, and rewarding. Check out 'Valheim worth a buy" on Youtube.. but don't watch any other videos as you'll ruin it for yourself. You'll get lost in this game... as will your free time.
Those 20,000 games in 1 consoles on amazon, just plug and play into tv, options of PS or Xbox style controllers, games consist every console game in history, even commodore and spectrum days 😆 👍
God of War 2018- Ragnarok, both phenomenal, the lore is really cool, the combat is so satisfying when you get the full hang of it, plus you truly feel like a god of war but as much as a fan of the the original god of war series I’d be lying if I didn’t say I prefer the newer rpg style god of wars,
the Witcher 3 is a game that to this day shits on most modern games, it’s got a amazing story, great gameplay mechanics but what really sets it apart is all of the different things you hunt and fight, there’s pretty much every mythical creature you can think of in the game and each one has a specific weakness which you can craft certain things to make killing them easier or potions that give your character certain buffs, it’s a game you’ll get extremely addicted to and playing for 40+ hours easily, one of the few games I can genuinely say the world feels alive even when your not playing.
Cyberpunk, pretty decent game and is free on game pass, the game had a lot of potential and was definitely rushed, that being said though it’s still extremely fun and satisfying to play, the stuff you can do by giving your character cyber enhancements, also you can can decide how you want things to go mission and story wise the same as the Witcher which makes sense considering they are made by the same studio.
A huge classic is l.a noire, it’s 1947ish (I believe) you play as officer Cole Phelps and you start off as a street officer then work your way up into different police departments it’s your job to go and solve crimes that have been committed by searching for evidence investigating witnesses and interrogating suspects all while getting in the occasional shootout with criminals every now and then, it’s made by the same company as gta so it’s got a sold studio behind it.
Metal gear vengeance, I’ve never played the other metal gears but forget them right now, this game will put hairs on your chest with the pure dosages of testosterone you get playing this, the fighting is just chefs kiss, each boss has a badass song to go with it to give you that full nuts to butts experience, your basically a ninja in a metal armour suit that goes around destroying everything, the end boss fight was so good it made my dad come back from the shop after 15 years with the milk just to watch me beat it

A huge classic is l.a noire, it’s 1947ish (I believe) you play as officer Cole Phelps and you start off as a street officer then work your way up into different police departments it’s your job to go and solve crimes that have been committed by searching for evidence investigating witnesses and interrogating suspects all while getting in the occasional shootout with criminals every now and then, it’s made by the same company as gta so it’s got a sold studio behind it.
Metal gear vengeance, I’ve never played the other metal gears but forget them right now, this game will put hairs on your chest with the pure dosages of testosterone you get playing this, the fighting is just chefs kiss, each boss has a badass song to go with it to give you that full nuts to butts experience, your basically a ninja in a metal armour suit that goes around destroying everything, the end boss fight was so good it made my dad come back from the shop after 15 years with the milk just to watch me beat it
I've been playing Greyzone Warfare recently, been really enjoying that! Haven't been doing much of the questing tbh xD just roaming around looting and hoarding, but still been enjoying it all the same!
I fell in love with sim racing. Assetto Corsa, BeamNG, iRacing. You can start with cheaper Moza R3 direct drive wheel with pedals and H-shifter and enjoy it from the first moment, if you like cars. Its basically like when you drive, but here are thousands of cars and modifications. If you need to know more, write me and i will send you where are free mods :)
Oldie but goodie Halo Wars or any real time strategy games, you have time whilst you build your army to roll up and smoke😂

us civilian killings update: 432,000 since 2001
Brown University 2023 update is 432,000 civilians killed since 2001.
this basic information - the number of innocent people whose murder you are financing - is never disclosed to american citizens. instead it's an endless salute to the brave men and women that killed them.

Issue with seller the good stuff
Bought four items off a seller based in Spain it took nearly three weeks and only two items sent one under weight anyone else had issues with the Good stuff
Yes, totally messed me about just before Christmas, with an order for near £200.
Paid on 1st , told on 5th my order sent to someone else would reship Monday. Enquired where it was on the 11th, to be told his stock hadn't dropped ( so hadn't sent it and was talking shit) Said on the 12th he has friend that can fulfill order. Asked again on 15th WTF happening, and eventually got my BTC back on 16th.
Of course he promised to fulfill the order for free when his stock came in.
Haven't heard from him since, and havent used him since either.
Had used him a dozen times in the 6 month previous to that too.
Have screenshots to prove all this too.

You have screenshots from december of our chat? That's weird bro, I'd recommend moving on.
It’s unfortunate you having a bad experience on LB. Check out our profile and would love to help in the future in any way possible
Noone wants that commercial contaminated trashy hash you have listed. Shits a disgusting color.
Yeah he’s been bullshitting me he was not gonna send order then I raised a dispute and now he sends half the order and it’s underweight piss take
offered a full refund on the missing products and im waiting for a his bitcoin address
You said my refund depended on me removing my feedback I said no don’t bother I know now never to use you again
thats not remotely true bro... i asked for your bitcoin address way before we spoke about any reviews, you didnt get it over to me.
we have a dispute open, i am trying to resolve it by refunding you the money. ill just message the borgs and let them know youre refusing the refund and they can nullify the dispute. i'm not fussed with the reviews. its 1 bad review out of thousands and ive tried to correct it. its you thats being stubborn.
youre intentionally trying to screw me. you left me four 1/10s on the same order and even edited an older order that you liked and enoyed to a 1/10. thats uncalled for and shows your emotional.

new order vs depeche mode?
new order for sure
Tough one that. Vince Clarke era Depeche were arguably the best.
Pure electronic pop music and Vince cemented that with the fantastic Yazoo.
New order are really more of a British institution as later Depeche went full on American rock gods cliche, and not really my thing.
Born out of Joy Division ultimately New Order’s path was foisted upon them by the untimely tragedy of Ian Curtis but they rose to the occasion and still put out the occasionally brilliant record (last one for me was ‘shifty’) and have a back catalogue of strong albums with ‘Technique’ ‘Power Corruption and Lies’ being my favourites.

Another vote for New Order. I have the legendarily runious pressing of Blue Monday (FAC 73) on vinyl in excellent condition. Got to love a band who have a song that enables them to get out of the venue before the end of it at their shows.
New Order for life, 40 years man and boy. What about, current New Order vs Peter Hook and The Light?

for me it's putin i'd like to talk some sense while the weed's still in him
Jesus would be a good call, if he could do that thing with the wine then think of the stash!😵💫🥰
I have nothing to back up this up because I haven’t looked but a yoga teacher once told me that Jesus smoked weed and did yoga… a lot!
That’s if he is real ?
Now I’m not saying he is or isn’t and a firm believer that you do what you want as long as you don’t impose your beliefs what ever they may be on me.
but I just find it wired how in the Middle East that Jesus had mates called Mathew, Mark, luke and John ?????

I have no doubt that Jesus was a real person and have read a number of good books on the subject. My favourite is ‘Holy Blood & The Holy Grail’ which examines the theory that Jesus was actually high born, had a real if tenuous claim to be King of the Jews and that this together with his non stop preaching is what pissed the Romans off. He actually married Mary Magdelane at the wedding at Cana (as a lowly carpenter’s son he would not have been invited to what was a society wedding) and because the Romans wanted rid of him his followers negotiated with Pontius to ‘disappear’ him rather than see him imprisoned and they did rather a good job of this! They cut him from the cross, hid him a got him out of there in what would become to be known as the ‘resurrection’.
He died not long after in Europe, but Magdelane was pregnant and there became a huge mission to protect his bloodline. The holy grail was in fact a symbol for her womb. She bore his child and died in France. The knights Templar have protected the bloodline and it’s believed his descendants are alive today.
Nice! 🥰🥰

Jesus was irrefutable as a real living person, Christians believe he was the son of God. Thats what their faith boils down to, you believe he could perform miracles or you dont, however Christ existed as a mortal being. Whether he rose from the dead etc is where faith derives, you believe or you dont.
Inglis83 that’s your prerogative and that’s my whole point wherever I agree or disagree is irrelevant to anyones opinion.
Just be happy 😃

I think my point is I’ll smoke with most people regardless of race religion fucking anything.

Me to man ✌️💨 honestly didn’t pick Jesus to spark a debate just thought why not he’s caused a pretty big stir real or not 😂
Hey dude.. I mean Jesus is a historical figure not just religious so as real as Henry the 8th or Julius Caesar.
Who knows what names they had in the Middle East thousands of years ago. The bible could be a fairy tale but there is a lot of evidence to suggest Jesus was a real person
That being said I think a lot of history is bolox so who knows really but it’s as good an answer as any not sure why your picking on me 😂
I’m spiritual but not Christian or religious so not imposing any beliefs on anyone

Anyone can and will believe what they want because that’s up to them. Wherever that be Christian, Muslim, Jedi or spiritual fair play. As long as your happy 😆 that’s the main thing.
Hope your good man

I agree I just thought Jesus was a funny answer and if I met him then I would get to find out some secrets 😉
People be free to believe what they want it dosnt bother me 😊
Im all good buddy how are you?

I'm 50/50 on whether that last point was tongue in cheek, but just in case it wasn't, the names of the Apostles are Anglicised from Aramaic (via Hebrew and Greek).
Many of you have already said so Jesus so going to have to go with Alexander Shulgin
Nikola Tesla - Would love to bring his ideas to the current stage of tech giving humanity freedom and the world a much needed break from our destructive manors.
Rodney Dangerfield or Norm MacDonald. Could either be funny as shit or real deep or both, probably.
I'd try Hitler see if we could have redirected some of that brain off the war-monger amphetamines ... need to be a strain that makes one giggly and munchied up...feed that fecker matza and latkas until he passed out in tryptophanic bliss...

I’d love to have a smoke with bob Marley if he was still with us, and I would also love to try and out smoke snoop dogg haha
Snoop for me too. Everyone who has had the pleasure of smoking with him has a funny story. I’m not the biggest Kat Williams fan but his story is my favourite.
I used to walk about on Hampstead Heath at night sometimes, not because I am gay, but because I hoped to bump into George Michael cruising so that I could have a spliff with him.
What a wonderful man he was.
What a wonderful man he was.
Not enough people know about how much good work he did. He gave most of his money away to good causes, supported people with drug and alcohol issues even though he was battling his own. He was treated terribly by the press, had to hide that he was gay due to bigotry and still endured working in the public eye. The man even had to change his name as his real Greek name was viewed as " too foreign". Legend of a human being. A real biopic is long overdue, he's a hero.
Bill Hicks legend and right about everything
RIP 🥲
I know this is not a very popular idea. You don't hear it too often any more … but it's the truth. I have taken drugs before and … I had a real good time. Sorry. Didn't murder anybody, didn't rape anybody, didn't rob anybody, didn't beat anybody, didn't lose – hmm – one fucking job, laughed my ass off, and went about my day. Sorry. Now, where's my commercial?

Amy & Janis for sure.
They would definitely have guitars. We'd sing & laugh our cackly laughs & talk about love & broken hearts & why men aren't good for us.
I don't think there'd be snacks but I'd cope this one time.

Just started watching 'Spaced' again.
I'm 40 now so it is my generation, but it's really good!
(yup showing my age)
It's on all4. Along with Peep Show (which yeah i like too!)
Don't judge me!
Haha
Cheers BB

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

Well I’ll judge you... if I could give 2 upvotes I would, agree with you totally, 2 of my fave ever shows, making me think of hitting Spaced up again...
Dark on Netflix. German show about time travel set in a village where kids keep going missing every 33 years. Stunning production values, really intricately plotted, three series, all ties together. Loved it. Has an English dub but the German audio with subtitles is best.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Christmas special of Mortimer and Whitehouse Gone Fishing done in THE most beautiful part of the country North Yorkshire! Great watch when baked as fuck haha :)
The Grand Tour is back as well for anyone in to that, done to death obviously but atleast it's something new to watch lol

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

Get the amazon Prime free trial and watch Picard, star trek spin off - it's really good, not what you expect.
also i love disco/history/natgeo... skin walker ranch program on at the mo is interesting. history but avail on catchup bro
Dunno if these have been broached, but try some Aussie drama
Pine Gap
Underbelly
The Magician / Mr Inbetween
All great watches but Mr Inbetween tells the story of your everyday underworld enforcer. Ive watched it in full 3 times and regularly watch YouTube clips. Never has the word run hit so hard

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

The Start Up, it's on Netflix. 2 series' that I've thoroughly enjoyed. Defo worth a watch!
Devs.
New Alex Garland (Ex Machina) series on FX & Hulu in the states, not sure where in the UK. Totally brilliant, and the best cinematography I've seen on TV. Ran here in spring 2020 and I'm still thinking about it.

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

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

Brand New Cherry Flavour if you think you'd find the subject of psychedelic sorcery played out as a fictional horror story interesting
Often overlooked, but Mike Judge of Beavis and Butthead fame created this absolute gem....highly reccomend...as smart as it is funny...
15/7.
You could try black mirror.
A selection of engrossing stories some weird and some mind blowing.. spanning 6 seasons between 4 n 6 eps each.
Can’t remember all but loch Henry and demon 79 were fck brilliant from the last season. 🌬️🍀

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

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