has anyone done a comparison of lb sellers gear in a vid, i would love to see that
Someone did it a few years ago, I don’t think they’re active anymore but they would post a drop box link and it would be a video of them showing off the bud and talking about it, they’d even get the magnifying glass out.
It's a great idea. Basically get paid in smoke to show off the best of what LB has to offer.
I think a tip jar of some kind would be in order too.

you could totally do this on youtube they have a california pov on cannabis and have for a long time
Created a second account to do reviews and shit on, used to do a lot of reviews on darkweb and legit stuff for music and video games.
Done a review or two on my own account RedeyeJedi25 but will keep them here for now.
Open to any ideas, feedback, tell me Im just a cheeky bastard trying my luck on samples 😂
Fuck description of what I want to do on my page 😊

I'm up for doing this once Im back off holiday but I feel like it should be a private video as mentioning LB on a public platform is probably not the wisest idea unless we want brigading
Im trying to create this as a review account if I can, hopefully people have seen my personal account commenting enough, and with 15 ish buys they know I'm not trying to tske the piss 😂
It was very popular, lots of votes and comments etc. There’s definitely ‘a gap in the market’ for a video reviewer.
I’ve always fancied putting a podcast out talking to buyers and vendors but it just doesn’t seem feasible…

stoned ape theory (wikipedia)
it's like 2001 and the monolith is a hash bar
stoned ape theory (wikipedia)
terrence mckenna believed that magic mushrooms sped evolution from apes to humans.
It does make you think… why are we different to other species in terms of capability on such a large scale?
I think its actually very interesting. He may not be right but there is so much we don't know about the past. Like how the fuck did they build the pyramids?
...We know how they built the Pyramids. You can learn all about the methods they used.
Pyramids are the easiest large structures to build because the majority of the weight is on the bottom.
Pyramids are the easiest large structures to build because the majority of the weight is on the bottom.
The impressive stuff with the pyramid comes down to the way it encodes data about the size and shape of the earth itself.
It’s a scale model of the northern hemisphere at a ratio of 1:43200. 43200 is the amount of seconds in a 12 hour period.
A common phrase in Egyptian mythologies and beliefs was As Above So Below. So it’s interesting that the pyramid is scaled to exactly half a full day cycle.
Take the original height of the great pyramid and times it by 43,200 and you get the equatorial circumference of the earth, if you times the perimeter by 43200 you get the polar radius of the earth.
This is stuff we didn’t understand until our own civilisation gained knowledge around the time of the Greeks.
There’s also a platform the great pyramid sits on known as the sockle. This sockle compared to the perimeter of the great pyramid is a perfect ratio of longitude and latitude.
If you know anything about our own civilisation, longitude was a problem we cracked in the 1700s. Before that ships were running along what they would call “westings” or “eastings” because they could travel west and east but when it came to north south travel they were smashing into land thinking they were miles out.
So what on Earth is it doing in a 4600+ year old structure?
A lot of this falls into “alternative history” but the scaling is there clear as day. The more accurate our own satellites and technology gets the more we hone in on the numbers the pyramid gives us.
The angle of the great pyramid is 72 degrees. 72 x 600 is 43,200. Again these sets of numbers come up time and time again.
Half 72 you get 36. Add 72 and 36 together you get 108.
Take the diameter of the moon and times it by 108 and you get the distance from the moon to the earth.
This scaling also works for the sun. Diameter x 108 = distance from Earth to sun. The sun is also 400x bigger than the moon.
My *hits blunt* conspiracy about all of this is the ancient Sumerian mythologies of the Annunaki creating humans is accurate and the mythologies and traditions woven into religious texts around the globe are a long lost oral tradition of factual events.

Hey Biggaz
Just a hypothetical question and in no way encouraging any criminal behaviour.
Let’s say an individual made some profit on crypto and they were looking to hide it from HMRC.
How would they go about it?
Again this is a hypothetical question just for fun

1 don’t use a crypto wallet that requires you to put your id, allegedly
2, find a friend who does skullduggery and sell him your coin and charge him 5%
Allegedly
This way you can allegedly avoid paying any tax on any crypto you have
So I’ve heard

I'm looking at using Hodl Hodl, its a p2p exchange for bitcoin allowing you to sell directly to buyers.
I have Exodus wallet setup to receive bitcoin from LB, will try selling these coins on Hodl Hodl at some point this week

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!
Your transparency is awesome. Keep up the great work!
A good start but let's think of the next step, some dealers gonna say anything to move product.
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
Pretty comprehensive list of tested vaped in the link
I highly recommend the Kuvana and Select carts from Sayno2drugs, on a different level to all the other carts I've tried

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.

We press the rosin our self's from flower of multiple different vendors, the only other ingredient is unflavored terpenes we get out of the USA to make it less viscous.

What percentage of the cart is the added terpenes? Also what terpenes are in your added terpenes? Thanks

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.

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

Not in a million years, would you want people to wear name badges as well. Nice thought but come on man
I remember seeing a couple of posts talking about a potential meet up when I first joined although I don't think anything came of it.
As you said remaining anon is a biggy.
If you've got friends or people you chat to on here that are up for meeting I'd recommend one of the events like brumsterdam etc.

Sounds great, also sounds like the po po's tryna get us all in one place. Thanks but no thanks m8
If we had a time and place and our irl selves showed up w/o our biggy names what in the fuck would any cop have for an arrest?
I would meet up for sure but I'm in the North East and I have a feeling most Biggaz are based down south.
There used to be a meet for Durham Cannabis Club old bill did feck-all but I think that's stopped now if there's any Biggaz from round here know if it's still going.
How we going to recognise each other need secret handshake or flower in top pocket

a.i. will unite humanity
Let's do this
a.i. will unite humanity
think of any decent sized alien invasion, the leaders of the world always put aside their differences and start working together early in the 2nd act (for a sec just forget that all of them but the u.s. president die).
this can be our own future brothers and sisters! a.i. doesn't want to kill anybody for their race or beliefs, they only want us dead because we are human. it's All of us vs them.
this can be our own future brothers and sisters! a.i. doesn't want to kill anybody for their race or beliefs, they only want us dead because we are human. it's All of us vs them.
My lb brothers and sisters I genuinely believe AI could end up being one of the biggest things to ever unite humanity. For the first time in history, people from completely different countries, cultures, and backgrounds can access the same knowledge, ideas, and opportunities instantly. Language barriers are disappearing, education is becoming available to everyone, and people who were once isolated now have a voice. AI has the power to level the playing field and connect humanity in a way we’ve never really seen before biggas
The real long-term shift is that AI could push the world toward more understanding and cooperation instead of division. Most problems come from misinformation, lack of communication, or people simply not understanding each other. AI can help bridge those gaps. The internet connected the world socially. AI could connect the world intellectually. There will definitely be challenges along the way, but I honestly think future generations will look back at this period as the beginning of humanity becoming far more connected, informed, and united than ever before biggas
So so stoned right now wow this took me an age to type 🤣🥹

I wouldn't mind a smoke and a chat with gandalf or merlin 🤔 Just to see what wisdom and tricks I could pick up💚✌️
What a brilliant question! 🌟🐨 I would choose, a grown up Mowgli, from the Jungle Book. Old enough to smoke, but smoking doesn’t harm him at all.He would know SO much wicked animal stuff , and could tell you about conversations he had had with actual animals. And he was raised by wolves and his best friends were a panther and a bear. And the baddy was a snake! 💥👾
Ooof, there are actually so many! Sanji from One Piece would be one of the top picks. The munchies you’d get after 😩. Karlach from Baldurs Gate 3 would be pretty awesome too, but she might cook the J first 😂
Harry Vanderspiegle from Resident Alien. That was masterpiece tv series! I can imagine him being high and wanted to eat pizza!😀
It would have to be Judge Dredd.
No particular reason but I reckon he'd be hysterical stoned. And there'd be some great stories.

The female Terminator from Terminator 3 the weed would chill her out and I bet she does good hand jobs 👍🤔
There's a few. Sherlock Holmes obviously. The guy was half baked anyway. I bet he could trip and with his mind it would be an amazing experience to share. Any Michael Moorcock character. If you've not read his stuff then do yourself a favour. Ditto Martin Amis. Mathieu from Jean-Paul Sartre's "The Roads to Freedom" trilogy. An existentialist tour de force. Getting the good times out of the way we're left with any character from HP Lovecraft. Drawback is that it will fuck you up big time.

The Colonisers' Karma!
The ruling class is shrieking about "mass immigration" as if it's some act of divine wrath, rather than the inevitable recoil of their own rapacious gluttony.
For five centuries, Capital didn't give a damn about sovereignty when it was time to pillage the Americas, carve up Africa, and enslave Asia. They smashed down every door, privatized every commons, and siphoned the lifeblood of the periphery to fatten the banks of London, Paris, and Brussels. Now that the dialectic is turning, now that the dispossessed are simply following the trail of stolen wealth back to the metropole, suddenly everyone's a nationalist? The audacity! You spent half a millennium globalizing exploitation, erasing borders whenever it suited your profit margins, and you're shocked that the victims are now globalizing their survival?
This isn't an invasion; it's the boomerang of accumulation coming back to smash the windows of the oppressor!
To the workers of the West: drop the flag and grab the hand of the newcomer. Your chains are the same color, forged in the same fires of exploitation. The only border that matters is the one between the exploiters and the exploited. The ghosts of empires past are marching, and they're not asking for permission. Workers of all lands, unite—because the world they stole is coming back to claim its due, and the revolution will not be gated!

Id like to say , go fuck yourself , but that wouldn't be very nice, so i shall just say , I dont agree with you
Great post. It's hard to imagine those continents without the colonisers input: no cars or roads, no railways or trains, concrete, refined metals, no airports or planes, modern docks, ports or ships modern buildings, TV, radio, electricity, computers, internet, air conditioning, clean water, sanitation and sewage, food supplies, vaccines and medicines, hospitals, agriculture, machinery, tooling, defences - oh and the obligatory satellite and space exploration and much, much more. Someone will have to break the news to the Australians and New Zealanders that that have no home now also..
Just hope they never decide to eradicate the filthy colonisers' work, destroy everything and start over, from scratch innit?

Can't imagine how the colonisers were able to do all that at home without the genocide and enslavement.
Capitalism is wrong, national isolationism from the entire world would be the most favourable, resulting in self sufficient nations who are not harmed by hegemony
The tricky thing with that ‘way of life’ is when one neighbour is envious of another and then lashes out at their neighbour for being successful in their ‘self sufficiency’ and to bring them back down a peg.
I agree, while i believe what i said to be the ideal, i acknowledge that human nature is inescapable.
Finally! Someone sees it! The age of the trader, the stock exchange, the man who sells his fatherland for a dividend — that age is rotten and dying!
Do gorilla's chill with brown bears? Do foxes hang with chickens? No because different species dont mix with each other. You say we should grab the hand of the newcomer, when the newcomer would happily cut our head off in the name of allah. Anything in this world can be used for good or bad, capitalism, borders, religion. A car is a very good innovation and has many pros but it can just as easily be used to mow down a crowd of innocent civilians. You are definitely the person that when asked if they would house one of these unknown foreigners, you would reply, 'I would but haven't got the room'. Nationalism works, even in American before integration black people were more well off, owned more land had bigger families etc. when they were forced to integrate by martin lucifer king thats when it all went wrong. We built the west and we will defend it.
Its not about colour or religion its about morals and character and if you have bad morals and an evil character, you are the enemy.

This site is connected toa lab-grade quantum random-number generator in Geneva, that according to theory, splits the univers eand you receive instructions from one branch (e.g., “In Universe A, you go for a walk; in Universe B, you stay home”).
By following the assigned outcome, you and your alt universe self are on fresh paths.

RNode > a long range data radio (similar wifi access point) that you can build easily with $20 hardware and start building a mesh network
Sideband/MeshChat/NomadNetwork > full featured messaging clients
Crap name tho! :) Needs more marketing

To watch or participate? If its just to watch I can watch any old shite stoned. Found myself watching lawn bowls once, but you can't beat topless volleyball. To participate being stoned, well, gotta be driving, personally I drive much better after a smoke and have more patience with others. The fact I have no licence for a year is a testimony to that, dunno why the courts don't share my opinion, cunts
"Extreme Couch Olympics: The Ultimate Sport for Stoned Spectators!"
Motocross or just generally anything 2 wheel related
I'll never forget passing around a bong at 6am in the back of a rotten transit van every weekend surrounded by bikes and petrol on the way to tracks like Cheddar Gorge, Apex and Whiteway Barton
flying through the air on a 100kg death machine when you're stoned as fuck is one of the best things I've experienced full stop

If we can shut down the fucking world for a tiny population of vulnerable people can we just give up war for the rest of us?

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

Trump is determined to start something in Iran, and as always when the US goes to war, we'll be dragged in with them. Not that a war in Iran would last long.
All I can say is that I'm 70 now. Lived through the Cold War and the nuclear arms race. Wasn't always great but wasn't too scared. I've never felt such existential dread before as I do now. Of course doomscrolling the constant access to the news now doesn't help but things feel so different now. What with the orange madman in the White House and his mate Putin in Russia, added to the fascist Netanyahu in Israel, it seems like we're heading for the mother of all fuck ups. It's out of our control and it's us ordinary Joes that will suffer.

Roman Britain - The Work of Giants Crumbled
It's always felt strange seeing Roman relics in England, like there is no continuity with anything else.
Roman Britain - The Work of Giants Crumbled
The Fall of Civilizations is an awesome series, this is Episode 1.
This is really interesting, seems the Romans never really integrated the local population so even at it's height the whole thing was tenuous.

Fascinating. I really enjoyed the whole series. Itchy feet now though, i really want to travel!

Fry and Hitchens take on the Archbishop and Tory MP
I was raised catholic and this is seriously the best joke I’ve read on this site lmao
Mass murder; centuries of child abuse, financial manipulation of countries and its peoples, stifling science for centuries, masses of lies and corruption, manipulating the world, controlling the weak minded, instilling a ridiculous morality onto its followers that only incites hatred and misery
The catholic churuch is just the greatest group of criminals to ever exist

You forgot to include wealthiest, if the Roman Catholic Church realised all it's assets then they could probably eradicate world poverty in a year
All Abrahamic religions are backwards and immoral, imo.
Christian god Genocided the whole planet to prove a point, and the Muslim Prophet, well, look up the age of Aisha when he married her.
We no longer need religion, its just a tool to distract and divide people.

The Catholics needed a pedant on their side not a pendant. Taken literally this position gets a lot easier to defend.
I'm not sure trying to peg any organisation as objectively good or bad is possible, but also fuck the Catholic Church and all they are.
laugh all you like but the basic philosophy of jesus is love and that is exactly what the world needs.
Yet his loudest followers scream at women at abortion clinics, promote violence towards gay people and basically act like 15th century bigots with torches
Doesn’t sound very loving to me, sounds more like a relationship with Ike Turner
Jesus spoke beautiful words but they’ve been twisted and manipulated to spread hate not love by the loudest “believers” as evidenced in every evil act done in the name of Jesus or Christianity
I’m gonna stick to worshipping the truest deity known to man- our lady and saviour MARY JANE 🤣

When have God fearers and followers of jesus christ ever attacked anyone, gay or straight?
God is not democratic or wavering in any way, its his way or the burning pits for eternity he mentions he is a jealous God and if you are two minded then you are not with him
Objectively for its merit orthadox Christianity seems like a good guide to me. The scope of practicing virtue and aiming to overcome vices and sin I can't really think of a more noble cause. I think it's definitely not for the feint hearted and seems we're in an age of hedonism with little to no solid, tangible spiritual values.
Living to a higher power or God has a drastic effect on people in the relms of recovery and elsewhere. I am coming to terms with it as it as a path over the self and see great oppertunity with aligning ones values for a greater purpose and in vitro achieving one's own potential while on this earth.

Probably the most original and though through answer. I myself know God exist but even if he didn't and I just thought he did, everything the bible teaches about morals and character has made me a better person and it does the same with anyone who follows the teachings of jesus christ. Jesus only had 12 disciples and it says in the bible following jesus will lead to ridicule and struggle. Earth is Satan's playground and we are vastly out numbered but when all returns to dust only almighty God will remain.
And saying the church and its various denominations are a true representation of God and all who follow is the same as saying jihadist and the taliban are a true representation of all Muslims and all who follows Islam.

All religions no matter what are just man made ideas and a collection of stories. Stories that were spoken often over a drink and made into whatever you made up round a fire. People needed controlling with a certain fear thousands of years ago and needed a divine leader. I'm uncomfortable with it all. It's all just made up. And to think it is the basis of all wars, man made ideology. Bad work I say
Let's have a look at bit of history:
1) Reconquista of Spain - overcame the previous more liberal Islamic Al-Andalus. Explusion of Jews & Muslims
2) The cultural rape of the Americas - effectively extinguishing the native way of life
3) All of those European wars which were pretty much Catholics vs Prods (Prods as bad as Catholics in this case)
4) More recently - at a time of AIDs and other STDs saying use of condoms 'evil'.
5) Messing up the psyche of its followers by seeing sex as dirty
6) A great place to work as a preist if you don't like adult women and prefer to have sex with under age boys and girls.

If I were a smart man I’d have worded my reply this well haha
Love use of such modern issues caused by the church, generally people seem to think the evil they’ve done is centuries ago, but there’s so much in modern history; in living memory that prevents catholism from ever being objectively “good”

I don't think I've ever heard or seen Widdicombe and not immediately wanted to scrape my eyes out and shove dynamite in my ears.
What a horrificly horrible and hateful person she is. Eugh
What a horrificly horrible and hateful person she is. Eugh
I don't like Anne Widdecombe at all, but from what I remember from this debate (I watched it a few years ago) she switched from Christianity to Catholoisim because of the amount of hypocrisy in the C of E.
Now don't even get me started on the hypocrisy in the Catholic Church, but I must admit I do somewhat sympathise with the point she was making.
You can't have a religion based upon a book that says "we don't agree with homosexuality" then just ignore that view because it's no longer popular.
It's like the Christian Church is now willing to ignore any of its doctrines just to remain "relevant", and get some likes on Twitter.
If you're going to be a bigoted religion, at least own it.
I'm not really into arguing about religion or politics, and I'm neither religious nor particularly political, but I do have to admit a begrudging respect for any religion that at least sticks by it's dogmatic roots, however ridiculous those roots are.
That's pretty much all I got from Widdicombe that was worth thinking about.
The rest of her nonsense....isn't worth anyone's time.
Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

All versions of Christianity ignore some parts of the bible because it's not popular. The Bible says not to wear two different types of fabric at once, and to sell your daughter to her rapist, but no Christians are abiding by that. They are all as bad as each other, to pretend like she's calling out hypocrisy by changing from one hateful religion to another is so deceitful, another part of the reason she is scum.
Dunno if you ever saw her debating with Stephen Fry and I think Chris Hitchins or possibly Jordan Peterson at Oxford? Between them they gave her the best fucking she's ever had
Already seen this you don't want to know my take as a Satanic/pagan Witch/warlock ... But i agree with stephen about most things. The part i can't stomach is that The church brag (Or used to) about their il educated followers from africa.. one reason why i returned to the ways of my old english ancestors.. in all things balance and respect for nature and our home.. Ave Lucifer the light bringer and Giver of knowlage .. Ave lilith mother of all witches and reflection of the black sun.
"Giver of knowlage..."
Well that all sounds pretty knowlagabel to me.

XD lucifer before the bible... In Roman folklore, Lucifer was the name of the planet Venus, Also worshiped as a wisdom god.
Is spelling and grammar not a part of "wisdom and knowledge?" (or knowlage)

There's nothing wrong with having limited spelling and grammar buddy, but I struggle to understand why you would come on here claiming "wisdom and knowledge" given to you by some dark force when you can't even spell the words properly....
I know nothing about open heart surgery, so I'm not going to claim I have "specialism in the field" when it's very clear I don't.
Wisdom has nothing to do with education, but to claim you have wisdom AND knowledge, because you worship the devil...
Yet you can't even spell 'knowledge'...
Sorry. But that needed to be called out.
Spelling and grammar are nothing. Manners maketh the man.
All the best and like I say, each to their own just please don't claim to have superiority in wisdom and knowledge by worshiping anyone, least of all the devil and witches.
Cheers BB

i don't worship any deity i work with them and i never claimed they gave me anything. the last part of what i said was just Veting or honouring the witch king and queen ( the male and female aspects of nature) i never claimed anything...

Now you're making me feel bad. 😔 Sorry. I do post derogatory shit sometimes when I'm awake late.

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

Eudcation is key and by keeping a two-tier education system in place the ruling class makes sure the rest of us are kept on the sidelines.

I still think about this legend every time I do my monthly hash order, he was the Real Deal indeed
I never, ever expect anything more than what I've ordered, and why would I? but RD almost doubled every single order I made with him, even if I ordered a gram he'd send 2 and specifically ask me not to make any topics about him gassing him up lol, he legit never asked for anything and would even send random samples to me completely out of his own pocket
I'll never forget that dude ever, I hope life is treating him well

He's awesome. I'll never forget the time he was unpacking hash (clearly high as fuck) and he put a track on and said that whoever could identify it would get some free. Definitely didn't Shazam that...
Aw man there has been a few😢:
Seriel Chiller Labs (the very first rosin disposables, never beaten!)
Oilman (my first RSO- blew my head off!)
Superhans- what a character!
Smoggyman (the finest Mimosa EVER!)
Hashishin.- the real deal!
Druids Magic- (I bought every single one of their strains including some not on general release- over 40!)
British Bulldog- dude!
Shroom Of The Loom- always up for a fight 😝
Real Deal- would win most fights!
GameChanger- only kidding! (anyway he’s still here!😅)

Definitely Hashishin, had some cracking hash off him when he was on here.
Also Druids, great weed from them over the years.

I think there were issues with the grove, and so it may be set up again somewhere else. Hopefully.
Saved me posting. Completely agree with all 3.
I used to tease BB about the fact that his stealth was nearly as good as Hashishin's, and if anyone ever ordered from BB but not Hashishin you'd know how amazing BB's stealth packaging was. Hashishin was unbelievable. Someone posted on here that they had a Hashishin order (shipped from the Middle East) kept at customs, investigated, then sent on as they hadn't found the temple ball. If you'd ordered from him you'd understand. I don't think we'll see him again after the situation there over the last couple of years. I hope I'm wrong.

I made an order with Hashishin after seeing the reviews. Got 4 different varieties of hash and each one was absolute junk. Stealth was interesting but not what I’d call great. My hash came in little packets of Maryland Cookies. Minus the cookies so it was obvious that it wasn’t cookies inside 😆 Didn’t use him again after that.
Mentioning specific stealth methods is very uncool. My experience on 2 occasions was very different from yours, and was inspired and legendary. All the hash I had was decent black.
Damn, didn’t realise British bulldog were gone for good! Shame, always hoped to try his wears but was always sold by the time I was ready to order (just shows how good his stuff must have been)!
UK420 - best hash in the UK. Came back as ‘The Dragon’ for a while but has gone again. Disappeared off site too.
Urban Leaf Company - still around, although not for a long while and their menu took a big dip last year or so. Saved me in lockdown those guys.

Urban Leaf Company - still around, although not for a long while and their menu took a big dip last year or so. Saved me in lockdown those guys.

Urban leaf co! Couldn’t remember the name but remember their shop and the kind of strains they used to sell. Very good quality uk smoke always delivered on time. Agree though that their menu did slip before they went offline
Radar Breeder has been here longer than almost anyone mentioned while maintaining a 9.7 rating.

Hi all 👍 interesting topic 🤔 yes seems like quite a few good vendors have gone now 😔 who remembers Ammunation 🤔. Going back a few years ago. All he did was amnesia haze. Remember it being a great haze back then. 👍
There’s some that I miss too.

This is to name a few. Loved all of their products, surprisingly NDWUK led me to here about 7 years back, I do wonder what happened to them.

Forgot about gods connect! I had some wedding cake off them years ago and to this day probably the strongest bit green I’ve smoked - me and my mate would share a joint and both be asleep half an hour later haha.
Also Bazza is a shout, had a few really good bits of hash from him

How Can We Get Rid of Dic(k)tators?
Seems they are moving in faster. Their murder rate is increasing and the military is gearing up further, this always ends badly.
Is there anything we can do?

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

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

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

Personally cities are the most crowded and loneliest places on earth. Small undeveloped villages have imo happier more content folk;)
probably true but villagers are very much self selected. its easier to leave a lot of these places than stay.
I've experienced alienation and isolation in cities, but on the other hand I grew up in a coveted rural part of the UK and it now feels like a retirement home for those who can arbitrage their metro area homes and live off fat pensions here. It's increasingly like suburbia down to the aesthetic of the houses, increased prevalence of out of town shopping and total car dependence to do anything. Folks from major cities and the South East fall in love with the idea of rural England from their holidays, then transform it into a copy of the suburbs that they fled from. Access to nature aside, it's pretty dull and has very few work and social opportunities so I can't wait to move back to the city personally.
No sure I’d call it a Big City but of all the cities I’ve been to and that’s many, I’d say Copenhagen is the one I’d like to live, it’s no metropolis but it’s just incredible.
Munich is a great place to visit. Granted, I haven't lived there, but it's clean, friendly, multi-cultural and there's plenty to do. Oh, and the beer is tops.
super vibe, fun yet safe enough for small kids to walk around, friendly but shit gets done right.
Athens, Greece...? :P we have beach nearby and beautiful mountains too. you cant do ski all the year though.
I think the UN will say that as I don’t think they really care that much about our “quality of life”. I don’t think a city can ever provide full quality due to noise and light pollution. We need nature..we need quiet..we need to dark in order to reset ..just my two cents anyway ;)
There are only 33 cities ranked “mega” in the world, even London doesn’t qualify and neither do most European capitals. Generally they are shithole Chinese & Indian with over 10m population.
My pick without a doubt however would be Buenos Aires..👍👍

Buenos Aires is lovely, always planned to go back but it's such a long way away!
Flew direct from BA to Auckland, New Zealand, now that was a long flight...
Flat Earthers claim the flight doesn't actually exist as it disproves their map, but I can assure them it does. It's bloody long and pretty scary if you consider there's no land mass anywhere near the flight path for like 13 hours, except Antarctica, which isn't an ideal place to land in an emergency! Haha.
Anyway yeah, BA is beautiful.💖
They say that Melbourne is supposedly the best city for quality of life, but having been there I suspect the only people that are voting for that city as No.1, are the ones that have never left it.
Just my 2p though.
Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

such different cities, melbourne is english and has its ass nicely tightened up. ba is an italian/spanish romance.
I'd advise you don't call any Melburnian "English". They're not too keen on us Brits.
Modern Argentina as a whole is a melting pot of cultures, German being one, (for various unscrupulous reasons).
But yes I agree, Buenos Aires is the so called 'Paris' of South America. The European influence is everywhere.
Funnily enough I saw a Bulldog being walked in a park in BA. 😂

I went to Australia for a ‘year’ well meant to be a year, came back home after 2 months, just didn’t get the appeal at all. Wasn’t what I’d call eye opening or life changing in anyway.
It's basically a history-less, hot UK with dangerous animals and Scandi standards of living.
paris, tokyo, shanghai, you should be so lucky.
It’s likely the UN would say this because we stay working in the cities to keep being the working force so those in charge stay in charge. Get into the countryside…be in nature…grow your own food and watch quality of life actually become a reality :)
Big cities...Yuk.... best city is a city of green my friends.
NY, Toronto etc, these places are fucking grim and the air and fumes and people want to swallow you up. Fucking rough concept..lol..

Which Killer Robots to Team Up With?

Which Killer Robots to Team Up With?
They will run the future sure and if you can't beat em etc. I get this no problem. But which fucking ones? I'm starting to think abut this more seriously as the robots around us now look like potential leaders of the next generation or at least useful icons, right?
The sniper robot flying drones are a decent bet, I like that they were fine tuned by competent rational pilots because people like that are good bridgers between a.i. and the rest of us.
But so are the sex bots, yes? And they will be trained but something better than each of us than war. In most cases.

I think religions come pretty soon afterwards if not before the hookers. A.I. can bring any myth to life and get some really enthusiastic humans on board.

It's 2050 ED-209 has been mass produced and is on every street corner, it's illegal to own chickens or even produce your own food or even shit because it has a negative impact on the environment and it would save the world if all of your meals were in pill form and you no longer shit.

Remember seeing them a couple of times, also at Glastonbury (and maybe Reading 92?). The song I liked most by them was a cover of Public Enemy's '(She Watch) Channel Zero' if memory serves. Think I got a free 7" copy as it was given out at one of the gigs.
Could it have been Reading '94? There was a metal/rap crossover thing going on back then. I used to like messing with people on the street by cranking it up in the car stereo. "What was that? Sounds like that rapping tripe but also that head banging nonsense? I say..."
Probably looked like a right dick but hey, youth and all that...
Probably looked like a right dick but hey, youth and all that...
Yeah, I actually found a gig flyer from 94 buried in my ‘man’ drawer and the last day lists Soundgarden and Special Guests. After the festival I crossed out Soundgarden (didn’t turn up) and put Therapy? in place. I also ticked the bands I could ‘remember’ seeing (Lemonheads has ‘bit’ next to it, actually over exaggerated as can’t recall who, what or how they sound!)
What I find funny is the lack of ticks. Mainly due to Whisky for breakfast each day and copious amounts of weed!
Good festival last week.
What festival?… oh is that when I was shitting in a Pringles tube instead of those godawful sewerage tardis sweat boxes?
Yep, that was it!
Ahhh, those were the days… 🤪

Sorry, never saw this! I must be wrong as I only went to Reading in 92, mainly to see Public Enemy and Nirvana. Never really considered it a "festival", more of a 3 day gig. Must have been Glasto then as I went every year it was on from '85 to '96 when I decided it was no longer a fabulous freak show that they were trying to shut down every year and instead had become an "event" on the social calendar for the middle classes desperately pretending to be bohemians for a weekend and bookable only by credit card. Used to be that the police weren't even allowed on site and they buzzed us with helicopters! Changed days indeed.
Next week on "old man shouts at clouds" listen whilst old punks decry the death of "real music" and call for the death penalty for producers and artists who use auto-tune in every single feckin' one of their 'music as painting-by-number' songs...

Hi Ghetto Bikes
That album really was a product of its times which is why it's such a 90s throwback.
Rap-rock was definitely enough of a thing to get named as such in Guitar Player magazine back then.
The Judgement Night oundtrack was mentionned on LB lately but one of my fave was the Dutch band Urban Dance Squad. Also Rollins Band Weight is a classic as well as ICe T's Bodycount plus a few obscure one like this one:

Money as a system of control (video)
Andreas M. Antonopoulos is the most articulate and inspiring voice Bitcoin has. Despite his enormous technical expertise he sees the fundamental proposition of crytpo freedom as the lowest layer of the network.
He gives me hope that the revolution is unstoppable, that an exit from a corrupted society is not only possible but inevitable.
When I read the title I thought this was about capitalism and making people dependent upon money. Instead this is about the fact that government issues currency and can use that to control everything it touches basically, it's a shocking eye opener.
Yes it's not even the amount of money they have it's that they define it, that's implies ultimate ownership of all of it.
All of his lectures are great. I'd recommend the podcasts over the video, they look like a spycam.
The evil that is fiat money has only put a roof over my head, given me an education, bought my car, yearly holidays, food, clothes, medication, healthcare, books, games, TVs, drink, drugs, guitars, computers, phones, tablets and countless other goods and services that have brought pleasure, entertainment and increased my living standard over the years. Those who control fiat money are evil. The bastards. I feel like a twat now for been so gullible.
Yes of course and like a complete idiot I exchanged that labour for central bank issued fiat money that I thought was giving me freedom to satisfy my needs, wants and desires and have a wonderful fulfilling life. What a fool I have been.
I hear ya dog, like an even bigger idiot i learned about bitcoin years ago (from here as a matter of fact) but kept my money in fiat :(
At least with multiple currencies we still have the power to choose, isn't that what freedom is?
Inspirational stuff. Also a great one for sharing offsite and making use of your reference token while you're at it.
There's currently a viral post going around showing a photo in a pizza hut window saying 'credit cards only' and then some crap saying how people will lose control of their assets if we move away from money lol.
It doesn't matter if it's cards, bank deposits or even cash in hand. It's all under the control of a central government that's why it's called "fiat". It can be seized, de-valued, or bankrupted. Given enough time that's exactly what has happened to *every* fiat currency in history.

That ain't filler. The man appears to be on a fairly big dose of steroids. I'd imagine he's quite unwell and probably not long for this world.
I fear ill health is wishful thinking. Looks like he's spent a bundle on plastic surgery to me. That said, it's probably better for a lot of people if he's not at death's door.
If he hasn’t got long, this makes him very dangerous. Coupled with the fact a lot of the drugs elderly take effect the mind without them knowing.
If only we could “fast forward to the bit where he shoots himself in the bunker”…..followed by eternal damnation in the flames of Hell fire with a red hot pitchfork up his bum hole.
Seems fair 👍

Ukraine is too kind to fight Russia for the USA/West.
USA don't want Nord stream 1 or 2 to exist! And voile it's happening now!

America want this war. Remember it was Biden and Bojo that pulled Zelensky away from peace talks back in 2022
The people are waking up, this is a sick thread, nato wants war not putin.
they forced putins hand to invade ukraine.
9/11 was an inside job and the vaccine wasnt a vaccine.
i could go on but whatever, chemtrails suck too.

I find it fascinating that governments happily admit to chemtrails be used aswell as geoengineering yet it's still called a conspiracy. The war in Ukraine can go back to 2008 when they first stated their intention to join Nato. Putin reiterated then how that would unfold so we pushed the button again in 2014. Remember what's good for goose is good for the gander. If the US didn't like missiles in Cuba, why would we expect Russia wouldn't feel hard done by expanding east constantly
What security guarantees did Russia offer Ukraine though? You must know that Ukraine was rightfully concerned in 2008, Russia had occupied Abkhazia and South Ossetia in Georgia, who was to be next?
Ultimately, nobody but the arms manufacturers want war, but Ukraine cant surrender without losing their identity and half their lands. Their future is fucked. Not that anyone that supports Russia even gives a flying fuck about that.

It's going to be a mess and your entirely right in what you say about arms dealers being the only profiteers of war.
I only see it ending with either Ukraine giving up the 4 Oblasts and agreeing to never join Nato or.. Russia surrender due to it escalating and somehow we avoid nuclear catastrophe. Both choices are so wide apart im not sure what could make up the middle ground.

If Ukraine was to surrender their lands, then I'd say only if they were entered into NATO, which enables their future security, and the lands would need to be demilitarised.
Who owns these arms companies pretty sure in most cases there run by the governments a war in Europe will be massively profitable for the USA as now instead of donating weapons there gona start selling them to Europe
The Minsk agreements seemed fair to me . Crimea has always been Russian and the Donbas wanted independence but would rather ally with Russia than the West . A lot of Ukrainians already considered themselves Russian , so they wouldn't lose their culture .
See, I hear that, but people only question what they don't agree with, or in the case of some people, what they're told not to agree with.
Tell ye what, if time was reversed and we were being invaded or attacked by a foreign power, I damn well hope there will be nations that would support us.
There is fuck all to defend with Russia in invading Ukraine, but 'Merica bad, lets not question things and support Russia.

I love America . They're our cultural and genetic relatives after all , but the globalists have steered America in the wrong direction .
The Ukraine was bombing the Donbas for eight years before Putin came to their aid and invaded . Many of them were happy for the help . Just like you would be if someone was bombing you for eight years .
I'm very much on the side of the Anglo-sphere but right is right and we never should have attacked the Donbas . We started this war and used Ukraine as the proxy . They should never have fought Russia .

Total and utter horseshit.
NATO is a defensive alliance. Anyone can join it, and it’s not up to Russia what other countries choose to do.
Russia invaded Ukraine and anyone saying they were forced to is a Russian shill or reads too much propaganda without knowing.
Russia has the largest country already in earth. They don’t need any more land and they don’t get to just take people’s territory because “USA made us do it”. Total horseshit.

I understand that is your belief as this is the narrative our Globalist leaders have been pushing .
However , they omitted several key facts which completely change that narrative. The invasion was far from unprovoked .
Ukraine was my red pill . I did a very deep dive on it .
Here are some of the basic facts you might have missed .
This war started as a civil war 8 years before the invasion when the Ukrainian Junta overthrew the elected government and attacked the separatists in the Donbas .
The Minsk agreements were between the separatists and the Western Ukrainians . It was Western Ukraine who broke those agreements as proven by the location of the fighting .
The Donbas would have remained Ukrainian territory had the Western Ukrainians upheld their end of the agreement .
The US, UK , and Canada trained , armed and funded Nazi football hooligans to become military units . They then used these Nazis to attack the Donbas . This is the same route the Nazis used in WW2 . So it seemed very much like a deliberate provocation against the Russians . Still , Putin took 8 years of this insult before invading , which is rather restrained for a conquest .
As for Ukraine being a democracy . Firstly , there was a coup in 2014 , after which Nazis and police forces battled it out in the streets for control . People who supported the legitimately elected Russian friendly government were rounded up and tortured to death and opposition parties and media were outlawed . So Ukraine is even more corrupt than Russia , which is saying something .
A US citizen living in Ukraine who I followed on You Tube was one of the victims of Zelinskyy's regime . He was murdered for making YT videos . He will be missed .

Can’t believe someone hasn’t shot/ poisoned the evil cunt tbh. (They like a bit of poison do the Russians)
Trouble is he would just be replaced by another one,cut from the same cloth I fear. Still can’t believe after all we went thru with covid, his first response afterwards was fucking war! He is the very definition of little man syndrome. 😡

Putin is considered a moderate in Russia . There are far worse people waiting to take his place .
The war had actually been going on for eight years before Russia invaded .
We sent our proxies to bomb the Donbas . Putin tried diplomacy for eight year . There were two peace deals which the West broke . We goaded Russia until they had no choice .

he needs to show his comrades that he isn't bunkered this means he is looking at regular strategy meetings in person with people easier to follow. his makeup and camera crew are all regulars and dont have a lot of security around them normally.
That's a fed up topic honestly.
No one should wish anyone death. All I can say is that I dont trust any governments at all, let it be Russia,China or USA/Nato member countries. All of these govs are doing shady things, acting in their own aswell as corporate interests. Not trying to hate, but if you wanna see putin dead you should also wanna see many other international leaders/presidents dead. All I can say that I condone wishing anyone a tragic or painful death.

Putin is nothing like Hitler . That is propaganda from Western media . Russia actually killed more Nazis than any other country in WW2 and Ukraine is full of Nazis . They have Nazi military units who were armed , trained and funded by the US , UK , and Canada . Last year a surviving Nazi from WW2 received a standing ovation in Canadian parliament . It is the West and Ukraine who are in bed with Nazis . The Nazis played a large and critical role in this conflict . I even watched some of the war crimes they filmed themselves doing . Really evil people . You can actually speak to Azov battalion yourself if you want to confirm this . They are not shy about who they are .
What about the pain murder and suffering that's caused when Putin targets a hospital with women giving birth and children inside the man needs putting down
The propaganda makes them hate specific leaders . It's the two minutes of hate from 1984. I fell for it myself at first but then I looked into it and found I had been manipulated
this guy will pay a million for the effort
he just needs to smoke some pot and chill the fuck out, and suck some dick, poor guy has a lot of tension.
Putin is the only adult in the room right now . While our Western leaders are all desperate to start ww3 , he is showing restraint .
If Putin was assassinated , someone far worse would take his place . In Russia he's considered a moderate .
Thank God for Putin . May him and Donald find an agreeable solution . And lets hope the Western globalists don't kill us all before then .

Thank god for Putin lol, have you seen what his army does to kids and women in Ukraine? The bucha massacre? Raped and tortured kids? Bombing innocent people weekly in Ukrainian cities far away from the front lines.
Nuclear war will never happen. A man who keeps villas in Italy and has amassed billions in wealth stolen from his own people does not want a nuclear war. He just wants gullible people to think that.

Bucha was a false flag committed by the Ukrainian Nazis . They did many false flags using these evil Nazis . The US , Uk , and Canada trained , armed and funded these evil Nazis for this purpose . Azov have themselves claimed that this war would never have started if it wasn't for them .
I didn't see any war crimes committed by Russia , whereas the Ukrainian Nazis filmed themselves torturing people .
The claims of rape were made by a Ukrainian official who had to resign as she could not provide a shred of evidence .
I followed this war very closely . Don't be fooled by the propaganda .

is there any reason to believe in anything

Depends the context.
But personally i think we either Know or don't know. I think believing falls into the realms of trust and trust is only needed when we don't know.
Hope that makes sense to some people.💚

Depends on the motivations I guess. I mean you can choose to believe in an afterlife because it provides you succour and hope in this life and can never be disproved. For a lot of people thats reason enough.
Believing that someone loves you and giving that love in return gives life richness and purpose which is a pretty strong reason.
Believing in yourself again gives you motivation to strive and work hard even if outcomes are mixed.
On a scale of cosmic consiousness (sp?) all that we percieve may not be reality at all and I do believe we only perceive a tiny fraction of some bigger reality. But heyho....we gotta deal with whats in front of us....
Go boldly...

No. None whatsoever.
However. If confronted with a big poop. Its important to examine the poop.
Generally i find, if it looks like poop., smells like poop. If you poke it, ir acts like poop. Then.... its poop

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

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

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

Best Example of Communism?
some famous fails for sure but what are the success stories they dont tell us about?
German Peasant's War (where the word communism derives), Paris Commune, two Russian revolutions minus the Bolsheviks, Makhnochina, Spanish revolution, German revolution, May 68, etc. etc. etc.
Losing in the first half don't mean the game's over.
Losing in the first half don't mean the game's over.
I don't think Communism has ever worked as Capitalists are always creaming off the top.
A great book on the subject is Eat The Rich by the US satirist (and huge drug consumer) P.J. O'Rourke. I think his and my politics are probably polar opposites, but you could get fucked up at a party with him and have an amazing time. Anyway, good book. Breaks down all sorts of different political stances, and Good Communism is one chapter, and Bad Communism another. He's a funny guy, but maybe don't consider it as in depth reasoned academic analysis.
Ah, fuck. He died in 2022. No future parties.

Come on down voters give me a success story if you don't like the truth?? Bloody Marxists never except that it doesn't work. What ever iteration you can think of it WONT WORK!!!! everyone being the same sucks the fun out of life accept that hard work pays!
I'm not advocating for Communism but our society is full of people grafting their respective genitalia off that are still struggling financially. The idea that hard work pays ( properly) is a idea propagated by people seeking to exploit the labour of others. Nobody should need to claim benefits whilst working full time and yet...
Fwiw, I do advocate for a mixed economy. Nationalised energy, health, water, public transport etc and luxuries at the will of the free market.

Exactly this - capitalism needs the grafters, the hardworking cogs to keep coming in to replace those that fall off or fall through the cracks.
"that hard work pays" is often true and the capitalists don't only pontificate this to the masses they teach it to their children. children they practise communism with.
You shouldn't be allowed to claim any benefits while in full time employment. It's crazy, we are basically subsidising employers who ought to be paying more.
And I hope that, one day, employers decide paying a living wage is more important than ever increasing profits such that in work benefits are no longer necessary. I propose a link between maximum and minimum pay within an organisation. Let's say; no pay ( overall package including bonuses, perks and dividends) higher than 5x the lowest full time salary.
it wouldn't even have to be a regulation, the government does business with so many companies and beneficiaries. if they don't have these multiples in place no people's funds.
employers don't make that call so much as owners do and when the owner is the stock market it's quite blind to anything but profits.
when the owners are the employees this changes priorities.

I’m sure there are loads they just don’t teach us about them. Capitalism doesn’t work either does it? Too many greedy pocket filling bastards. We are all the same having money doesn’t make you better than anyone else, the fact you are here spouting this shows what a sad state the world is in 😞
under capitalism hard work has never paid and never will pay lmfao. communism actually prioritises labour, capitalism is about fat pigs at the top skimming off 99% of the profit we produce for them. do you not find it utterly insane tesco has like 5 different in-house brands with varying prices for essentially the same product? or that having less money means you have to settle for lower quality products that are worse for you and spoil faster?
So, you don't think lifting 4/5ths of the world out of relative poverty can be considered "paying off"?
OK Che, communism good 🤣👌
OK Che, communism good 🤣👌
do you have a source for this? not trying to challenge so much as i would like to learn more about it. maybe there is even a way the community could help.
food for the hungry is legit and accepts crypto
there are community outreach programs and obviously government funded systems like food banks to help, but the crisis only really exists because the capitalist system is designed that way. we have the resources to end world hunger but it's not economically beneficial so it will never happen

Does the existence of those children make anything I said less true?
Strawman though. I didn't make a claim that there is no poverty in any country. I think you missed the qualifiers "relative" and "4/5ths" of the world.
I would say, that "starving" inarguably applies to way less than 1 in 5 children in the UK, US or anywhere in the West which makes your point about the ills of capitalism fairly moot in context.
I am no fan of cronyism, and I don't think capitalism is utopia, but it's insane to try and persuade anybody that communism would do better than this.
Thanks for the downvotes. I have over a thousand upvotes and less than 30 down.
Drop me a line next time you are tipping your bathwater into the atalantic. I'll do it too 🤣

You stop your quotations at an expedient place. If you would have been less disingenuous about your framing, you would be honest about the fact that the reason I said it was to point out that the users who's position I criticised (fairly and civilly) had no reply apart from the futile downvotes, as I was describing.
If I was trying to persuade anybody of anything about me with only what you have entered in your own quotation marks as the context then I'd tend to agree with you. Given that you have totally taken it out of the context it was said (I mean it was clear the previous person was making downvotes vexatiously, in place of an actual cogent argument against what I was saying.
I think you probably know that, but don't care because you disagree with me 🤣 how about tackle me with some argumental substance rather than downvotes.
So, yeah, moot point. Wind your neck in mush.

In other words, you have nothing worth saying because you are too vacuous to argue your way out of the little communist hole you dug 🤣
Thick.

Do you mean the actual communists who don't want to respond to fair and cogent points about their lack of reasoning?
You should look into some unbiased reporting on the soviet Union, and some witness statements from the older generation who lived through it.
You will find that many of them tell you life was better in the USSR, than in post USSR Eastern Europe and Russia. Besides that they were several decades ahead of the west on womens rights and social services.
But like anything good, the Americans bring it down from the inside, or out, USSR, Great Britain, either way. Their media controls the narritive, and communism effects their ability to steal all the money. There is a reason Cinema is oversaturated with anti Communist rhetoric.
I'd honestly rather have the worst communist government, than be America number 2.

Yeah and east germany was the most successful communist country of all, just ask anyone that wasn't killed trying to leave.
Have you ever listened to Konstantin Kisin? A Jewish family - He moved when he was 9 from the ussr to England at the end of the soviet Union just before the fall. His first hand account of his own life tells a very different story to what you describe.
The communists on this thread think KK first hand account of late soviet communism is invalid for some reason.
I suspect many of them have never listened to a reasonable, adult centrist common sense. Perhaps it is not synonymous with the cult like adherence to social, political orthodoxy that would like to see nebulous victimhood everywhere.

Hey man, great discussion, and I'm no authority but I had to retort to your 'hard work pays' comment: I have to disagree, hard work doesn't pay - call me whatever but nurses, teachers, delivery drivers, anyone in public service, works their asses off for little pay and much abuse from all sides.
We exist in Capitalism and while hard work and 'hustle' works for a short period for a small number, hard work is not a critical proponent of Capitalism, that's increasingly evident, imo.

Nice alt greenbeans/cherry cola. I can't believe you are actually calling other people schizo and creating multiple accounts to appear to support yourself 🤣
you are a literal schizo, my comment was just insulting you for being a pathetic redditor bragging about 1000 upvotes ,never mentioned politics, this guys actually responding with points and now you dont respond because you schizophrenically think im him. 😂😂😂
hilarious thanks for proving your sanity

You didn't respond with any political talk aside from your comment about reddit that makes NO sense. Yes, you really didn't. But you did downvote every comment I made on this thread within a minute when you appeared on it before we had any interaction. Just as restricted account Tiger man did 🤣
you bragged about having 1000 upvotes which is pathetic redditor behaviour 😂 not that difficult to figure out as long as you arent an obsessed psychotic responding 5 times to a little comment, oh wait 😂😂😂
I'm actually really surprised that you are hating on reddit. There are so many commies on there that want everybody else to do the hard work for them. Sounds up your street.
I came here to say this. Glad someone else knows what's going on.
It's gradual. Socialism is the route to communism. The NHS, which we are all trained from an early age to worship, was one of the first big steps in socialism. Benefits too.
Do you all remember when Richard Madeley of all people called out Susan Michie for being a member of the Communist party? She was a main player in the 'behaviour science' part of the scamdemic. Do you remember how we were all pressured into performing that awful clap for the NHS gesture? That was like something out of North Korea/China, where citizens are softly compelled into worshipping the state - like those obvious crocodile tears that were shed over Kim of N Korea.
Ugh, most people are too close to it to see it but it is ABUNDANTLY clear.
I would recommend anyone to watch Yuri Bezmenovs lecture on how the west gets subverted to Communism. He was a soviet defector who used to subvert countries and bring them into the soviet fold for a living.

The rich people who own the media want to push an ideology that stops them being able to hoarde all the wealth? care to explain how that makes sense?

I don't think you'll find any. They've tried it and hundreds of millions died. Ok in principle but man's greed quickly takes over.
yeah it's the trickery of it from the knowers side and the sheer gullibility from the mark.
"From each according to his ability, to each according to his need"
To the naive person, this quote from Marx sounds like everyone will just pull their own weight for others and everyones needs will be met.
But with the benefit of hindsight, it is clearly a recipe for slave labour/the gulag system where each man is worked to his utmost but only has his basic needs met. Pretty clear with the benefit of hindsight.
There are no luxuries. Worked to the max, as much as your body can stand and in return you are provided a concrete bed, thin blanket and bowl of gruel twice a day. From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.

Yes, the realities of a fringe political experiment that has resulted in serious human disaster and loss of life every single time it has been tried makes great satire if you have your head so far in the sand that you can't and won't learn from the past. Come on Che, you are convincing nobody with your smarmy , condescending replies that do not rebut the subject matter. It's totally lazy.
“Best examples of communism”? A bourgeois framing! The Paris Commune—1871—was the first workers’ government: producers seized power, abolished class privilege. Short-lived, but its essence: *proletarian dictatorship* as communism’s midwife. True communism isn’t a “model”—it’s the *movement* to bury capital.
Kerala (India) is the best example of communism. It’s a massive success story and I really hope the party can grow into other states of India

Problem is, they always need other peoples money to spend...

"It was a laugh in the beginning, but things went steeply downhill shortly after."
If we ask what communism is attempting which is elimination of hierarchy, collective ownership and resource equality it looks good on the surface but in reality if you look at Cuba and ask any Cuban that managed to fled the country they will tell you when communism is applied through force and suppression it disrupts and destroys instead of harmonising. Sadly we feel it never comes without corruption at it's core...maybe Vietnam?
Its a pipe dream, we are all living under an authoritarian dictatorship disguised as something else and it doesn't matter where you are that's just how it is.
What doesn't seem to be understood is that despite what you are led to believe nearly everyone in the world has more in common with eachother than they don't and non of the current leadership, the oligarchs or the current appointed shop floor managers (politicians) aren't doing anything about it.
And to get a rise from people.
China is winning on making it better and we are not allowed to participate in that.
Although realistically China is winning at the current version and realistically China has always been winning except for a minor blip.

Not exactly a success story but interesting fact. There are more cannabis users per capita in Communist North Korea than there are in any other country. They smoke to relieve the pain of living there.
Best example of communism... in the ground... deep in the ground with the devil from whence it came.
yet when everyone looks above and sees devils we know what cycle communism - or now capitalism - is in.
It doesn’t work people become lazy and there will always be those who have and those who have nothing.
Argentina’s current turnaround under Javier Milei from socialist basket case to small state and low interference is what you should be talking about. We don’t need the public sector time to slash it.
We need to get our self respect back relying on the state has made us weak and pathetic.

We are already experiencing communism even in the modern world , it's a hybrid between communism and democracy , based on feelings and personal I , me Happiness and DEI.
Don't work , hand outs , nobody knows what a woman is , men are all monsters and rapists , everyone can be whatever they FEEL , massive division - past remembering - payouts for past events , people split into groups protesting, government is everything - Marxsism 1:1 .
You already have 6 - 7 nations that have fallen fighting for this aspect -
Argentina - down - Saved by Milei
Columbia - down
Venezuela - down
Chile - About to fall
Salvador - Down - But saved by Bukele
Australia - About to fall
USA - About to fall - massive border issues and most cities are walking dead with people zombies being poor and homeless.
UK - about to crash due to importing victimhood across all minorities , brits on mute mode not even saying anything to anyone.
Go woke in a country and your entire society crashes.
Capitalism + Merrit Based society is the only one working.
This has been in the works tho since the 90s - starting with the feminisation of men and masculinisation of women - Split up with your men , you can do whatever you want , then they wake up at 40's with a carrer , no fam and alone crying on Socials crying for a men.
Men - don't react , be soft , toxic masculinity , every reaction has been deemed as something is wrong with you.
Therapy is all processed from the perspective of a woman , so men don't go to that.
Men just kill themselves at some point due to loneliness , women keep talking and talking and move on.
This is where you are at in 2024 in the Western World's
So majority of people need to stop and go back to standards otherwise Societies crash entirely , we see the results Live ongoing
North Korea is the only one truly communist spot ON and it's only because the majority of the population simply wants to live like that , they don't know anything else , never did , not every nation is attracted to this notion of rich , poor ,progress yourself some just want to live like in a big Foster care home totally controlled.

Communism is inherently tyrannical. History shows that. There aren’t any examples of success for a reason. It goes against the human spirit. Millions more died die to its tyranny than under the Nazis but you never see documentaries on the BBC or Netflix about Stalin, Mao or Pol Pot. Capitalism isn’t perfect by a long way but meritocracy is natural and drives progress. People to an extent sort themselves into roles and structures on natural ability and interest. Socialism just teaches people to rely on the state whilst the state gets to dictate how people think and behave. It’s ideological tyranny on the one extreme and financial exploitation of a liberal society by the few on the other. My grandad was a carpenter and paid his subs to his union for years until he acknowledged the financial and ideological corruption that it was based on.
…
There has never been one.
Governments, inherently are untrustworthy, the larger they are.
More proclivity to tyranny the smaller they are - which the libertarians are blind to.
There should be a lassez faire way to govern, with a balanced and adequately sized government.
Modern progressives don't like to hear this, but capitalism has lifted the world out of relative poverty, to the extent that nothing that came before it has been more beneficial to both quantity and quality of life.
Necessary evils are all around us. We think if we are selective about the ones we talk about, then the ones we don't want to talk about will disappear for some reason.

Health hacks
tea over coffee
Health hacks
So tell me people, what little tips have you all picked up along the way?!
For instance, I swear by using apple cider vinegar for basically everything? Surely I'm not the only one.... One shot every morning to start my day why not!

Drink a lot of water. It's crazy how little people drink. I go through 2 L before noon (you're almost always dehydrated after sleep - drinking coffee/tea dehydrate you even more). Then another 2-3 L for the rest of the day.
Besides occasional coffee in the morning (once or twice a week) I don't drink anything besides water.
I can't see a difference in my own health anymore (because I live like that for over 5 years now), but when I see my old pictures and how my skin looked like when I was constantly dehydrated - the change is huge. 14 years of acne went away without drugs or expensive creams. Only cream I use now is "fifty:50" (50% liquid paraffin, 50% white soft paraffin). So much money and stress saved.
Remember - skin is the largest organ in the body, but we tend to forget about it. It's the first and largest barrier against toxicity of your environment and keeping it in 'good shape' is very important for overall health (not only for cosmetic reasons).

Agreed on this completely. I drink so much water but I'd add it shouldn't be tap water. Nothing in life is free not even water
Good quality tap water is a start and better choice than plastic bottled water.
For filtering I would suggest reverse osmosis filter (just for drinking water, don't install it for your boiler). Brita filters, if properly maintained, are good start as well.

I would love a reverse osmosis filter but to pricey for me at the moment so highland spring it is.
Go for a walk somewhere peaceful every day.
Not texting, nor gramming, or catching up with phonecalls.
Give your brain back the space and peace that the early 21st century took away, even if just for 20 minutes.

Totally agree we should all drink more and think about what we’re putting in our bodies but tea and coffee have been proven to be hydrating and found towards liquid intake cudnt not defend my coffee sorry :)
I do love both tea and coffee as well, the problem is most people put milk and sugar which then probably ruins it
Yo family,
Few I've learnt along the way
- Quit any substance that your body may rely on
- drink water
- go for an hour walk everyday
- move your body
- eat a lot of veg, a variety
- sleep early and wake up early
Blessings!

Mixing citrus juice with your green or black tea increase the amount of antioxidants absorbed by a factor of four. Without milk and sugar of course;)
Also eat your organic lemons whole.

Despite watering it right down, ACV gives me gut ache. Shame as there are so many potential benefits and for people who need help balancing their blood sugar levels it’s fantastic.....

Who Owns Guy Fawkes Day?
An increasing number of people around the world are remembering the 5th of November and each year the memories evoked diverge.
In 1605 (Guy Fawkes Day -1), a group of rebels including the famous one now on the mask, had an idea: blow up the English Parliament with King James in it, presumably to start over afterwards over with a government closer to the people. The "Gunpowder Plot" failed when Fawkes was discovered "guarding" his bomb.
James felt this operational shortcoming was further proof of his divine right to rule and it is the celebration of Fawke's failure that is the basis of the holiday. For 3 centuries it was mandatory to celebrate the squashing of rebellion and burn an effigy of Fawkes; the popular masks are actually a prop, part of the fun that surrounds an otherwise chilling reminder of what happens to rebels in England.
It wasn't until the 1980s that Alan Moore's V for Vendetta character started the backfiring of the intended celebration of Guy Fawkes day. As a modern day Guy Fawkes V exploded empty buildings and only shed the blood of those that had previously hurt him personally. The classic graphic novel was made into a film and in the 21st century Guy Fawkes masks were used by protestors as a means to build upon the emotions of the V character and achieve the anonymity that characterises the contemporary pursuit of freedom. Online activists Anonymous used the mask to transpose their characters from text to video.
When online rebels created the darknet as a new kind of haven, the symbolism of November 5th was brought along with proclamations and celebrations on the day itself (with free drugs replacing bonfires). The anonymity of V has become an even stronger symbol in this realm where anonymity is an existential condition. Then the King struck back.
On November 5th 2014 the darknet was struck by operation Onymous, with American and allied law enforcement shutting down sites, seizing bitcoins, and arresting de-anonymized participants. The rebels were virtually executed.
More than any other day November 5th is a living dialogue between people and government. It has evolved from England and gunpowder to worldwide networks and masked protestors.
There is no reason to believe anyone will ever forget the 5th of November.

It wasn't to start the government over, it was to replace a protestant monarch with a catholic one. The will of the people had nothing to do with it.
I think maybe it owns us! Seems that masked revolts are spreading around the world.
He went to St Peter’s School in York they have a bonfire but don’t put a Guy on top as they don’t burn Old Peterites.

You gotta love it when the BBC shows enough guts to put shit in quotes to make its little point.
I really miss the 5 minutes when the Russians weren't the bad guys. I think it was Arabs if I remember.
Scihub is actually academic papers, not specifically science. But then the filth are not very bright. I recommend it along with Anna's Archive.

Seems it's getting a lot of love these days wondering if any biggaz that have actually lived with it have thoughts?
Trust me when I tell you coldspurs, you wouldn't have wanted to live in anything calling itself communism. We never arrived at the all things in common, you know, the fun bit. The future on the other hand...
Depends if you're talking voluntary communism vs involuntary communism. First version of communism that comes to my mind is a guy with a winter coat and a rifle dividing up scraps. Hippies sound like a better starting point if someone is thinking about it as an option for today.

Just review your favourite vendor on trustpilot with your link to their page. Use the share button on the top of the page.
That is absolutely brilliant!!!!! Here's my guess to the competition hahaha I couldn't find the right quiz so thought id say it here I guess madone
carnivals, just leave piles of cards in interesting places its actually a fun game. knotting hill carnival
- First and easiest is target irl people you know who smoke
- Post LB links on social media, don't be afraid (items, threads, reviews etc)
- Create social media accounts and direct followings to LB
- Distribute paraphernalia and leaflets with reference links embedded in QR codes etc
(Well done to anyone who collected a Weedologist lighter at any canna events!) 💚
If you are unsure where to direct people you could:
Generate your own code from my page and use that as a landing / create your own welcome page with posts and help / direct to a big well known shop who will support them / create a dynamic QR code so you can change the destination link and vary where you send people.
I would also welcome any fresh thoughts or ideas and hopefully we can keep growing this community together 💡

Sell access to littlebiggy:
most people would see this as more valuable than a medical license: no doctors, surveillance, and ratings on all the products.
If you sold a a login with your ref code embedded you would get an upfront payment and the referral code stream.

Hey. Interested in this and was just wondering what your strategy is for token gating access to a site that is ultimately free to sign up and use anyway. Do you offer additional incentives if using your nft?
Could work a lot of ways. Support would be a nice thing to offer to noobs especially in their non-english native language but also with item selection and bitcoin help. You're basically making a premium tier that lots of noobs would like. You could also make a rebate on their 1st purchase since you will be able to see that in your ref code transactions.
I would post to any community where users can verify its legit. I think that's the primary challenge, LB seems to good to be true.
Any chance we can get a guide or chart that shows how many referrals you need to get to the next % increase?
Example:
1 referral per day = 1%
3 referrals per day = 2%
6 referrals per day = 3%
Etc...
I've messaged you 3 times on 3 separate occasions about this but I never get a response
Thanks

We don't track referrals by day and have limited access to data in the current program. This does give us a chance to treat people individually though. We are always happy to look at an any individual's progress and help them grow. Generally speaking to make it to 5% your commissions should be in the $1,000s of revenue per month league.
The best way to get an increase in the meantime is the same way you have twice already: contribute ideas that help the program. This thread is a good place for anyone to do that.

So, I've been thinking about the paraphernalia distribution and I came to a realisation about something in particular.
The lighter, and in particular the Clipper lighter (or, at a push, Swan) with its removable pokey bit, is a covetable commodity. It's easily lost/stolen/forgotten but it's most importantly also refillable. It could pass through many, many hands, most of them stoners, most of them curious about the chosen logo and QR code. Ever moving, potentially, is the Clipper, with people scanning its QR code out of curiosity, sitting around in beer gardens, parties, or just smoking with a mate.
Your QR code.
No-one refuses a free Clipper, and who can have too many lighters? The guy that steals this one will probably have too many, but will he scan it too...?
Print will wear off quickly, but vinyl wrap can be printed with whatever people want, even potentially vendor logos and QR codes, then they can be put on in bulk. Maybe include one with orders?

It's easily lost/stolen/forgotten but it's most importantly also refillable. It could pass through many, many hands, most of them stoners, most of them curious about the chosen logo and QR code. Ever moving, potentially, is the Clipper, with people scanning its QR code out of curiosity, sitting around in beer gardens, parties, or just smoking with a mate.
Your QR code.
No-one refuses a free Clipper, and who can have too many lighters? The guy that steals this one will probably have too many, but will he scan it too...?
Print will wear off quickly, but vinyl wrap can be printed with whatever people want, even potentially vendor logos and QR codes, then they can be put on in bulk. Maybe include one with orders?

Three of Britain's most senior police chiefs have urged their officers to crack down on cannabis use. Sir Andy Marsh, who leads the College of Policing, said the smell of the drug made him feel unsafe as he urged front-line officers to “do something about it”.13 hours ago
Interesting it seems UK"s Stasi regime are getting a hard on for 420 and have been medaling in Thailands weed industry also, what a fucking piss take!

general cuntery aside there is a correlation with crime and easy pickings for coppers this happened in nyc with a twat named guliani.
and when i go to legal countries it starts to actually smell bad after a while. so being smart and polite ain't going to kill a bigga.
what fucks me up is the general vibe, power keeps gathering and freedoms keep decreasing. tolerance to weed was 1 way progress for decades. now its yet another corrupt power play.

Exactly that our freedoms are being taken from us, face recognition is being trialed now in Asda, blasphemy laws are being passed as we speak people are being jailed for social media posts, taxes are on the rise AI is taking jobs Amazon laid off 100,000 staff last week to replace them with droids our farming industry is being deliberately ruined people are being evicted from rented accommodation to be replaced by 5 year serco contracts and all while our government is borrowing records sums of money for untested projects like 22 billion in carbon capture.
Very soon in the not so distant future we will be getting bailed out by the IMF and our currency will loose huge value all whilst have the most expensive energy costs in tbe world.
And if cannabis was ever legalised in the UK don't think for one second vendors like us would ever be sitting round the table, no not a chance Amazon would swoop in and corner the marker just like what thet are doing with medical prescriptions now. I was speaking to someone in the chippy last night and they were telling me about there daughter who has been studying for 7 years to issue medical prescriptions and which cost 200k for the course only now to see Amazon take over this role nationwide which leaves her redundant before she has even started her career.
Someone please try and make this make sense 🙏

I hope that 1 day they will sell packs of cannabis behind the tills in tescos. Its much less dangerous than alcahol and the police say it fuels crime but the only reason it does so is because it isnt legal and they have dangerous people selling it on the streets. Its ridiculous!!!

Ryanair flight landed at Manchester with six minutes of fuel left.
Pilot was probably scolded for waste.
A bloke is sitting in the bar at a busy airport.
A beautiful woman walks in and sits down next to him.
He presumes, because she's got a uniform on, she's probably an off duty flight attendant.
So he decides to have a go at picking her up by identifying the airline she flies for thereby impressing her greatly.
He leans across to her and says the Delta Airline motto: "We love to fly and it shows".
The woman looks at him blankly.
He sits back and thinks up another line.
He leans forward again and delivers the Air France motto: "Winning the hearts of the world".
Again she just stares at him with a slightly puzzled look on her face.
Undeterred, he tries again, this time saying the Malaysian Airlines motto: "Going beyond expectations".
The woman looks at him sternly and says: "What the fuck do you want dickhead?"
"Ah!" he says, sitting back with a smile on his face... Ryanair!

a lifetime building an interstellar engine
jim woodward had a revelation in the 1960s. since then he hasn’t stopped developing a propellantless drive that approaches the speed of light.
Hello, hemplady I've been patient with you. 17 days ago I made a order. I've been consistently trying to get a hold of you but you never reply to my messages. Luckily you let me know that this Monday you will track the order. It's past that date now and since then I've been trying to get your attention to this matter. I am sorry I had to post on here but you are not replying to my messages. If you can rectify this issue I will happily delete this post.
Hello, I’m using an iPad and cannot see the dispute button. Do I need to log onto the site using a laptop? I am meant to be able to dispute today according to the order page.
Mate I’m going to dispute as soon as the button pops up (I think tomorrow) and I suggest you do the same asap.
Someone said dont leave a bad review otherwise you give up the chance to dispute!

payment processor requirements
some basics about what we need from payment processors:
source code open to devvy borg
immutable logic on a blockchain
lb algorithms as oracle for releases/refunds
there are more detailed requirements surrounding security and the use of reputation data.
use of the lb payment processor api is free.
payments for external code auditing and review are required during the process.

Sorry but I'm left scratching my head you say absolutely but when I tried to provide a LTC payment processor your response was "It does not appear you are willing to accept the basic requirements, understandable since LTC can't support them."
Can you please state clearly is it possible to have a LTC payment processor on this site or is it not compatible with you requirements?

why a postal monopoly?
if you are going to privatise the post office why not let multiple companies share the infrastructure rather than this bollocks?
Other companies like UK Mail and Whistl use RM infrastructure, but only for last mile delivery.
yes each postbox should be 1st in best dressed. every carrier has a key, everything tracked.
Theres nothing stopping an upstart from taking RM on. But you won't get them sharing postboxes..lol
As far as monopoly goes, the clue is the "royal" in their name ;)

Selling off public infrastructure to grant one company an insta-monopoly is the point, I feel. As an added bonus, we also get to bail them out after they still manage to fuck it up. Hooray for late-stage capitalism?

Late arrival despite paying for sndd.
Hi biggas I payed for an order with GC on Monday before the cut off and payed extra for sndd and it’s not arrived still so it’s gonna b 4 days come tomorrow b4 I get my smoke. Comms have been dismissive- basically cancel order if your not happy- has anyone else had similar experiences with this vendor? I know this is not Amazon biggas but this is worth posting on.
Why charge an additional $10 on my weight if the vendor can’t honour the sndd. And no apologies(initially)…for it. I was offered an xtra g on my weight by way of smoothing it out and it’s appreciated but I’d rather have my order on time tbh. Vendor marked order as sent yesterday afternoon and RM been n gone and still no package? I use other vendors with sndd and it’s arrived nxt day without
fail.

The need for speed causes more angst on LB than literally anything else and yet when you combine falling RM service levels and often overworked vendors, delays are sometimes inevitable regardless of how much you pay.
GC is extremely popular but a one man operation trying to please a lot of customers whilst dealing with deadlines, messages and requests.
The only way for a relaxed Biggy Life is to order before you run out, roll a fattie from your depleted stock and put your feet up. Your order will be with you soonest....

I'm sure everyone orders before they run out but i'd be willing to bet the vast majority of us have everything budgeted to a tee, a late package fucks up everything (not blaming vendors)
i'd bet most of us are ordering right before we're about to run out due to budget
having the extra funds to order when you feel like it and put your feet up is very bougie and not fitting to the most popular item sold on here which is shake + trim
just to be clear i'm not blaming anyone for anything here, just stating that it's not possible to order far ahead of time for most biggas which is why this topic comes up so often

Hey hesh….I’m not sure paying £10 SNDD each time rather than ordering 2-3 days earlier makes great financial sense on a tight budget!😅

Are you PR for Green cat my fellow Biggs? If I pay for sndd on Monday and it’s not arriving till Thursday I’ve got a problem. And that would b any vendor. If GC can’t honour the sndd he needs to take the extra charge of the listing or he’s just robbing.
Oh you just wanted to rant then?...I mistakenly thought you were looking for advice. Careful with your language or you might find there is not a single decent vendor on here that will accept your orders mate. Just advice....
I don’t need your advice or to be told to be careful.. and yes I did rant. These posts r turning threatening ….this is a common topic that’s not just came from me. Mate.
Vendor claimed he had sent out to wrong address.hence the delay. The address I gave was and is the correct one.
This is not very reassuring, ive just put a order for next day special delivery. Now im regretting it
I know you wanted to cancel order yesterday mate. Robbing a bit strong perhaps but you’re definitely been misleading a few punters on here with sndd. I’m sorry if this topic has angered you but I’m not the first bigga to highlight this issue. Ie marking order as sent when it nothing of the kind. It’s your poor comms that’s exasperated customers.
I do not believe for one minute this order went out to wrong address as you claim. You just hadn’t sent it. I apologise for using the term robbing as it’s not appropriate and not very nice. You do send out after paying sndd just not when you said you sent it. It’s down to volume of orders I believe as you have a firm customer base due to the quality of your product. People r allowed to complain and I’m not the only one claiming.

Check the reviews most peoples orders comes the next day even if they don’t order SNDD.
Yeah people are allowed to complain but you don’t publicly make posts about me misleading customers because that’s not what happened here your order wasn’t sent on time I informed you the situation you was fine with it unfortunately RM still have the parcel I can’t help that.
You’ve posted 2 times on my page now if you’re not going give me a chance to respond without publicly shaming me please don’t order again.

I’ll not order again GC n I wasn’t trying to shame ya just frustrated with process n I’m not the first bigga to highlight this issue so it’s not personal.
Issue now closed n tracking shows order to be in transit so will b in my hands tomorrow.
I do regret using the term robbing n I’m posting publicly that I regret it. All over a bit o green eh. Maybe time I stopped.

space 1999
fuck yes
That was the most expensive TV show of it's time a UK/Italian co production.If you haven't seen it check out UFO the other series made before this by Gerry Anderson.
Great show.
First SciFi I ever saw on colour TV in the 1970s.
I must have been 8 years old. The first episode (and other one) scared the hell out of me!
Amazing special effect for a telly show.
I brought back a Dinky Toy Eagle from atrip to the UK and so did my best mate.
None of us could afford the transporter AND the freighter so we both had the iconic transporter although they bore different colours.
An episode I remember vivdly to this day is Space: 1999 – Season 1, Episode 12 End of Eternity
I've read somewhere that there is a similar original Star Trek episode where Spock advocates terminating the almighty alien but I've never seen it.
Space 1999 was in many ways an updated high-budget 1970s British Star Trek.
Everything kicked ass, design, costumes even the intro theme with the wah wah pedal.

Capitalism is unfolding exactly as Karl Marx predicted
"The system depends on human labor while simultaneously eradicating it."
We're in the widening gap phase now for sure, or at least its becoming clear how far the gap already is.
The final step in every Marxism based cycle is the uprising of the proletariat, so that's the fun bit we need to look towards.. lol :)

The Man realised a long time ago ;-)
"Capitalism does not permit an even flow of economic resources. With this system, a small privileged few are rich beyond conscience, and almost all others are doomed to be poor at some level. That's the way the system works. And since we know that the system will not change the rules, we are going to have to change the system." Martin Luther King, Jr.

0% interest rates, meme stocks, puts and calls going up simultaneously, sure looks like an end game scenario.
The big flaw of capitalism..
One day all the super rich (super useless) will realize the world seizes to go round without ground level hard workers and skilled people.

Not quite. "The working class cannot simply lay hold of the ready-made state machinery, and wield it for its own purposes".
I love these talks....but let me take the opposing side of the view and say the real reason capitalism works and proven to work than communism (even communist countries like China has no option but to conform to capitalist notions)...Is because of it's destructive & Contradictory nature which allows room for error, destruction and reconstruct....Flexibility like biology of trial and error that leads eventually to efficiency....So yes there are aspects of communism that needs to be involved and would allow under capitalism....But not necessarily Viseversa....
Finally Communism has historically tried and Achieved Growth without sustainability.....So it has already proven not correct in REAL TERMS!
BUT we should look for a confluence between two and integrate to create a better system....again think of China and their growth spurt over the last 2-decades....this is after they have allowed Capitalist ideas to be joined with communism....
I just said all my perspective and please forgive me if there is anything incorrect ...this based on my limmited knowledge

Absolutely. I encourage you all to read the manifesto if you haven't already. It will blow your mind how accurately he describes the current situation in capitalism. I'm a proud member of the one of the fastest growing communist party worldwide, and we're working had to organise and educate people on how communism would work in the 21st century.

sell to all to be on the wall
thanks to the new review system sabotaging reviews from noobs are no longer possible, freeing sellers to serve every bigga.
starting 15 january 2025 selling to new users will be a requirement for wall inclusion.
as always if you experience a malicious review report it to cleanup borg for corrective action.

We had to stop accepting new users as we had some negative feedback coming from them. Now the new review system has been implemented, we now accept any user, anonymous or new :)
Site responses are almost entirety reactive, not proactive. How does this help vendors if someone targets them specifically and there's limited site response?
3-5 business days for a reply is standard for borgs, and now vendors have to agree to this when the only change of system is that someone can click on something to see how many other reviews have been left by that person?

how is this not effective for eliminating bad reviews from noobs - which seems to be the only point of this.

Being able to reveal voting history doesn’t change the vote does it? And the vendors headline score suffers just as before so how does this really make “ sabotaging reviews from noobs no longer possible” ?
So will all 1* reviews from noobs be removed then on the assumption they are all fake? Bit hard on noobs trying to leave genuine reviews isn’t it?
So will all 1* reviews from noobs be removed then on the assumption they are all fake? Bit hard on noobs trying to leave genuine reviews isn’t it?
I suppose it's the aspect of forcing acceptance, but then people can still do the same thing with new accounts, the score of the vendor goes down, then they have to get it resolved? Whereas allowing people to restrict prevented that admin ballache? The change in the review system and the visibility of stats is a massive positive change, but it's reliant on people doing due diligence, and there're unfortunately many who don't do that and rely on a headline number and move on without investigating. I've always found cleanup borg to be very efficient too, so apologies for my blanket statement.
Fair enough. That's not my experience as a buyer so that's interesting. I do find cleanup borg to be most efficient though, out of all the collective that I've had dealings with.
That's great news and a much needed change for LB vendors, too many n**bs sabotaging vendors reviews which just isn't fair at all.
This is fantastic and I wish I’d seen this sooner. Great work guys
As a fairly new vendor we get orders from brand new accounts all the time, learned the hard way by getting 1/10s random reviews

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Going by the UK, if they've tried it, it means they're open to it. And again, vis a vis Europe is not the yard stick an actual revolutionary program would be using. Maoism in 2023 is mental (except about landlords).

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

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

AI So What. There will always be work.
This humble and intelligent professor explains how machine replacement of jobs works out for people; it's always in ways that are new and unimaginable. It is certain we are in for a great time with A.I. enabling us to to incredible stuff.
cory doctrow has an interesting perspective on this, saying that all the displacement from global warming and increased healthcare needs will keep humans busy for a very long time.
with all due respect it can take a bullet, sacrifice its life, and draw on millions of previous occurrences. that's a helluva start.
What if the people who's lives are at risk all get replaced by robots? Also, isn't that what a self driving car is doing constantly?
cars have relatively simple rules and a very fixed environment. interpreting a dangerous human is a much, much harder problem
AI is well past any notion or idea we can fathom. AI dosent follow ANY rule we stand by.
We as humans will never quite grasp the entire picture, while AI has already found the end of the road. there are things in basic sciences kept from most people, like gravity drives, the TIME axis (think twister/tornado), scalar waves, over unity devices, etc... AI wont follow the bounds because its supressed by money or greed...
we as humans can TRY to think what will happen, but in all reality, were already in the losing seat without any hope for a "comeback kid story"
Stop thinking in a 3rd dimension mindset, and learn quantum physics a little. (want to be totaly mindblown?? look up QUANTUM radar- and how its actualy In use RIGHT NOW!)
--note-- the united states has 3 confirmed quantum computers in use! (i accidently came across one when i traveled for work, but most people wouldnt know to look at the cryogentics involved)
Machine-in-a box- experiment has already proven even the smartest among us, would lose.
me,myself ,personaly, am clueless what outcomes will unfold, but without any doubt , humans are not top priority when AI is really awake. current neuro-nets are mind boggling and google themselves admits they cant explain how its AI created child AI even works. (yes, AI created its own second AI) want to me mind blown again,years ago it was used, look up the AI that was tested in new yorks hospital system. the smartest doctors from the world STILL dont understand what that AI did , and how it was so correct/right 97%.)
i wont lie and say its all terminator 2JD, but that is one possible outcome. we as fellow fleshy companions should enjoy life now and every moment. we wont have many opertunities when AI is out of the box.
Note: its not IF , but WHEN, and WHEN happens?? ---will humans stand a chance or will an outaide force be required? (aliens, god, let your mind wander)

I think its like retirement age is on the horizon and humans need to decide what they are going to do with all the free time.
I think its like retirement age is on the horizon and humans need to decide what they are going to do with all the free time.
I totally disagree. AI is the continuation of the same pyramid model of which history has proven that it's bound to fail. The resources needed are of a scale that requires heavy (and never ending) financial investments. The food eaten by AI is data. The provider: humanity.
The larger the scale of data one can feed, the better the AI (and it's owners) can fingerprint, the more refined it's targeting.
Let's take an example of "AI" that we all know:
Software Antivirus:
Supposed to be the guardian that protects an operating system against 'threats' and 'threat actors using a variety of techniques to identify them. Pattern based detection, behavioural analysis and heuristics (an expensive word for: 'guesstimating' or an 'educated' guess). Your antivirus is part of a swarm that provides the antivirus vendor with data on new threats and their geographic impact.
However:
The data you provide is 'free', there is no reward or any form of renumeration for the infrastructure that you provided. A computer is not free, internet is not free, the power needed is also not free and although there are free AV solutions, most demand a subscription fee.
In return you get a product and service which does not provide any guarantees that it will adequately protect you against 'threats'.
In reality AV is becoming a relic.
Human intelligence has outsmarted AV and found ways to circumvent it using the 'Trojan horse' approach or by simple social engineering.
As there was no incentive to find or report security vulnerabilities, the data needed to feed pattern/behavioural dried up.
Heuristics is gambling with historical data, if that data is worthless so are heuristics.
And so is any form of AI hence all media and marketing efforts to portray it as the next best evolution. The driver: more profit less people.
The touted theories about a minimal wage without having to work for it are a continuation of AI Utopia. It would make people dependent on their nations through a socialist measure.
That spells national socialism and fascism.
Think twice before you give out data for free in exchange for a freemium service.

AI are and will be good for work and a suitable replacement for humans, but even when that happens AI will always need us in case something goes wrong. I mean humans created AI, so in the end we’re always gonna have the more important jobs. AI is just there to do jobs in a more efficient way.
AI will come about one day with baby steps at first to "aid humanity" then all of a sudden the rich wont need people to make the food, cars and entertainment.
we will have an outbreak or a massive global reaching catastrophe while they are all hiding in the bunkers lowering the population to around 10% of what it is now and for a while whats left of humanity and the AI that serves them will live in a new golden ages of peace and prosperity ..........
i might of grew up reading a lof of scifi and fantasy

im not so sure, anything a human does to recover the system seems doable with a very separate AI
Yes but conflict between AI's might be the most dangerous thing we are looking at here. We are incidental casualties from that perspective. By we I mean humans :)
Yes all the Scifi is about humans vs AI but AI on AI is such a real possibility especially when you consider the fact that governments are mega funding military robots to fight each other.
I'm looking forward to the futher development of AI, especially General AI. I just think it would be so cool to have an amazon alexa sytle AI that you could take round with you and chat to and have a proper engaging conversation with because sometimes I really can't stand to talk to anymore humans aha
The inspiration process is largely about open mindedness, computers are inherently better at this. If you look at some of the early entrees into the arts like painting and even screen writing they are off to a helluva start.
There are AI playlists on Spotify that generate new music based on current trends and preferences.

How Our Reality May Be a Sum of All Possible Realities
Let this be a lesson to you kids

[philosophy]
How Our Reality May Be a Sum of All Possible Realities
For a particle traveling through space, the amplitudes of more or less straight paths all point essentially in the same direction, amplifying each other. But the amplitudes of winding paths point every which way, so these paths work against each other. Only the straight-line path remains, demonstrating how the single classical path of least action emerges from unending quantum options.
This is something I've pondered. My theory is our brains are quantum computers that decipher the universe. Let's not forget how our observation and perception actually changes the make up of the universe. We know that energy/matter are interchangeable and that particles can behave as waves. Diagrams of particles are shown as circles, these are spheres of probability - where we think the particles may be. We know that what we perceive as solid physical matter is 90% empty space. Therefore, our brain instantly calculated the average location of every particle in a structure to perceive it. This could be in an infinite number of ways so we see one version of infinite.

Brahms jammed at his parents house, Hitler was a classmate and young Ludwig wanted to invent the jet engine before he discovered that any proposition that could not be verified as true or false was meaningless.
Imagine young Ludwig would love to poke that cali bud argument apart infront of a warming fire
im sorry but i have to finish this art school application. please don't keep me up all night with the philosophy scheist i really need this.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

slavery was always wrong, it was cheap and easy and the other guy was doing it but anyone with a conscience is hard wired to know stealing people in chains and imprisoning them for life isnt ok.
Slavery still exists , it’s just changed name to employee. If you are working, it’s for shareholders benefit,
The means of exchange for employment is money. The means of exchange for slavery is the threat of violence. Most humans can see a big difference in this.
uh yeah i think its a little different if you're getting paid for your work and have a choice of employers. different than being kidnapped or bred into a life of hard labour.
this, what we are forced to live, is not slavery as on a cotton plantation, but it still is slavery. best proof is the "distribution of wealth". its just a different kind of slavery. where we are our own slave-drivers haha. it is essentially feudalism and it is becoming digital more and more.
feudalism is very different to slavery, some of our ancestors had the pluck to get out of it and become tradesmen, artisans, even adventurers. today a lot of people are born into fucked circumstance but many more have education and at least a shot.
a slaves life (if they made the journey which murdered a majority of them) was *nothing* like this.

You're not forced to work for someone else. It's your choice and the easy option. There's nothing to stop you starting you own business except gumption and effort.
I won’t write a response because it would take a lot of writing for you to see the similarities. Just ask yourself though. How much of your life is for you? Why did you get sent to school? Can you roam about freely? How many of us are stuck in a job , just so we can pay the bills? Who is benefiting from your consumption? Are you doing what you want to be doing or are you enriching someone else’s life by working hard? What does that sound like? Peace;)
it sounds nothing like moral equivalence, not by orders of magnitude. it also sounds like a response, just a very weak one.
Well I hope you eventually find some level of peace and a way to deal with the reality of life now and our shared history for your future sanity;) take care
Not really. I mean it , truly. Why haven’t I downvoted a single post of yours? Because I feel for your tormented minds
Tribal elders fought and captured other tribe members and sold them to Europeans its still practiced today so go point the finger straight back and ask them
"It wasn’t wrong then though." Cue modern day comparison. You are so uninformed it's actually a bit sad but more proper cringe tbh.
Yes I am the sad one. I’m not the one whining about how wealthy others have been 100’s and thousands of years ago by following the laws of their time. Whining about others is just a deflection from your own faults;) try thinking about what you can do now to make the world a better place, not whining about history. Also now the black people who are descendants of slaves don’t seem to want to go back to live in the country of their genetic heritage, right? I wonder why;)
Who's been whining? Me (no) or some other or every single Black person? And why on earth would some random U.S/U.K Black dude "want to go back to live in the country of their genetic heritage". What planet are you living in? A very white one, I imagine.
Only because my grandparents had to flee out of their country due to they would of been killed . Also stripped of their lands / money and I am not asking for reparations from anyone. Just saying
Right. And so do you want to "go back to live in the country of YOUR genetic heritage"? Or do you think that question doesn't apply bc you're White? I think that's the road you're going down here, isn't it? Assuming it's WWII, there's really no Nazi's left for you to claim reparations from, is there? If your Grandparents are from the middle east, then reparations are for the regime of that time and place whether current or not. BTW I think any Black person claiming reparations is an attention seeking fool, usually found on the end of a megaphone dictating the new world order to a bunch of (majority) white middle class uni students basically out on a day-trip with banners like "white privilege is real" and "eggs are a chickens period!".
You can see through the bullshit w/o being bias. Just saying

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

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

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

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

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

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

Strange answers to the psychopath test
We get so used to our own minds that its hard to see how people can be so fundamentally different.
We get so used to our own minds that its hard to see how people can be so fundamentally different.
Fascinating. There’s a really good BBC Horizon documentary on psychopathy. It features a researcher who was taking MRI scans of prisoners convicted of violent crimes and managed to associate inactivity in a certain part of the brain with psychopathy. He then decided out of curiosity to scan the brains of a few members of his family and found one of the scans matched the patterns of some of the prisoners, and it was his own brain. He then delved deeper and determined he was a psychopath however because he had a happy, well rounded upbringing, he still learnt right from wrong even though he didn’t have empathy towards others. They also discuss on the episode the evolutionary advantage of psychopaths and possible reasons of why the traits remain in the gene pool. It’s a really interesting subject!
yeah saw that, was pretty interesting...it's both nature and nurture that affects personality it would seem.
Exactly. Just the same as how a non psychopath can have the capacity to do abhorrent acts, a psychopath has the capacity to be a good person so long as the environment and experiences of that individual teach and allow it.
Yes,there gets a point in some people’s lives when they realise ‘ they aren’t normal and never will be’—it’s a horrible life.

VENDORS- AVOID THIS BUYER

VENDORS- AVOID THIS BUYER
First time Buyer selected no tracking on purpose to perpetuate his scam
He accepted these terms on order:
“ Our domestic policy is as follows:
Stamps No Tracking - ZERO REFUND ZERO RESHIP UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES
By ordering with us you accept these terms, and any attempt to abuse the dispute system on here will result in blacklisting, and other vendors will be warned of your behaviour.”
To tell you a bit about our track record:
200+ packages shipped since November 2024, haven’t lost a single package
He of course conveniently claims non receipt, and has opened a dispute despite agreeing to my terms when ordering.

Sorry, but your Manifesto is just words. Biggy terms trump vendor terms. Biggas can dispute in any event…
Just like I’m aware even if it was tracked and he disputed he’d still get my money.
LOL.
Dispute system is broken and at the end of the day as in any economy consumers bear the cost which is why biggy prices are a lot higher then any dark net market with a functional dispute system based on facts

Well, you're wrong. Dispute is based on reputation. A new user with only 1 order that has been disputed will almost certainly lose the dispute, unless the vendor has a terrible reputation.
Also, yes my manifesto
Are you aware there is a “terms and conditions of sale and guarantees” section when making a listing?
Because I also have it in capital letters inside of that.

Your terms are second to LB terms.
Some sellers get away with stamps, but you still need to refund or reship non arrivals like every retailer does, so maybe just stop offering untracked services?

EDIT; despite confirming receipt, unfortunately he has kept dispute open and ignoring messages.
His order showed up and he confirmed that despite the drama which shows good character
A delay by postal service turned into unnecessary trouble
There is no need for any vendors to avoid this buyer 👍

Hi all, over 4 yrs with LB.
4th March paid $108
11th advised that still had not received delivery. Told it would come, btw I'm in Ireland & so is the vendor.
14th March advised still no delivery & enquired about the tracking.
The vendor again rude as hell informs me there's no tracking & that I was a scammer & there would be no redelivery to which I informed him how shit his attitude was & to which he then told me " to watch my cheeky fuckin mouth & to bring my scam some where else & to see what happens if I keep playing with him"
This is no way to treat any one on this site l've been on LB over 4 yrs, had to step up a new ac last year.
Paid for a product, received nothing but abuse, rudeness & false accusations ..I'm not a scammer & have plenty of purchases to proof this.

yeah you missed something big. the point is you don't have to share an item you can link to any post on the site, even ones you, dwarfedgiant, create.
But then there is access, potentially, to this site from people who would report the site. For example, if I shared a post of mine, and the post was about anything. I shared a link to my post on FB. Now, anyone who can see my post on FB can now view my post on LB, and then see the 'Items' list if they went exploring. It just doesn't sit right in my head....willingly sharing access to a site that sells THC products.
You don’t need to worry about people reporting the site, concern for your irl is your choice. There’s nothing illegal about showing people what happens online, you can trickle that into your regular account.
Besides, its medicinal these days, only by quirk of geography are we a resistance movement.

How Would You Save the Roman Empire?
It wasn't morality they needed for that, it was capitalism
The barbarians might have finished them off but the Romans did it to themselves. Extraordinary powers given to an Augustus wind up producing a Caligula.
I've always wondered about a time line where as Christians they see the immorality of slavery and we wind up with an industrial revolution a thousand years earlier :)
I think they saved lots with Constantinople and Christianity. We still use a lot of their language today and even arts, law and engineering.
We are still in the Roman Empire, only the 2nd coming, the International one which spans across the continents. The Romans never lost, neither the ££££s.....

Reform win a landslide. Voting turnout drops below 50% for the first time. Unions abandon Labour after aggressive policies announced in the fallout. They back Corbyn's new party with little success.

Rave retreats from clubs, the new sound is futuristic and alien. Richard Madelay is a cult conspiracy figure. Channel 5 loops his monologues endlessly. Morris dancing is a revolutionary act.
