Is Bill Gates Getting Blackmailed?
Is Bill Gates Getting Blackmailed?
First he resigns from all his boards then he gets divorced seems the boy is under some stress.
I dont think thats the deal. Its a spiel to protect their ill-gotten assets. Attorneys in Gates divorce also worked on Bezos split.
Well, there are articles about his wife starting divorce proceedings when the Epstein report came out. Maybe Bill and Bill had some fun together on Lolita Island?
I think this is possible, for me the whole Epstein saga is the biggest story of modern times, he has been dealt with but maxwell is key to everything, she is being unusually mistreated, i hope she gets to blow the lid but i fear the biggest cover up in history has already been one step ahead, makes my blood boil :(

New eu crypto send rules
Can’t send bitcoin through bitpanda to self hosted wallet without wallet owners legal name.
Anyone know if there Is a work around to this?

Is it your own wallet? If not, get a non-KYC wallet from Phantom or Exodus (or both), and send to that. There are no names associated with these wallets for any exchange to cross-reference.
Second that, same problem with Bitpanda. Now send on to Exodus with just a 37p charge to send to LB👍
It’s just in the wallet on the bitpanda app, I’m not great with computer technology.
I’ll try and work out how to do that
I’ll try and work out how to do that
Set up the wallet, generate a receive address through it and use that on the exchange as the destination address when buying (remember to buy a few dollars more as there's an extra gas fee to send from your new wallet to LB). Then, when received, you can buy on here and send payment from your new wallet.
Hi
Im worried whats happning in january 2027 about tax any bitcoin transaction.Enyone know more about this

Yeah. You'll be grassed up to HMRC by the exchanges for your purchases. Your own non-KYC wallet gives you an extra layer of separation compared to sending from the exchange so they should have less information to pass on. As long as you don't have Capital Gains of £1k+ in a tax year you should be fine, and not have to do anything. Hopefully...
This is what i was getting at last week when i mentioned they will be looking at who yoru sending it to on the exchnage and flag the account. Everyone was saying oh its fine nothing to worry about. But i can see kraken emailing me in a few months questioning the transactions on my account. Gonna have to get an external wallet me thinks!
Hi stevedogg
See my follow up to Rux's post, I think it could actually be much worse than that.

Hi Rux
If you think about it how are you going to be able to demonstrate that you didn't make 1K£+ moving BTC around when they send you a letter?
I assume that you have looked at their web site but they expect you to keep track of each and every transaction so that you can prove that you didn't generate any gains moving crypto around.
Furthermore if I read correctly they consider "disposing" of crypto i.e using crypto to buy goods and services as a taxable transaction.
It remains to be seen how this goes but if the above is correct they would want to tax you on every amount of BTC you've used to buy stuff.
Better safe than sorry, P2P is where it's at as others have pointed.
The fact that some of the goods purchased would be legally questionable is yet another nightmare on top of potentially facing a huge crypto tax bill with fines and interests going back years.

Hehe....yeah, but this is why I don't get your level of concern. To make over £1k profit on btc I would have to be staking btc rather than simply using it to buy on LB. If I was staking it and making those gains then thats a subject for a different forum isn't it?
We're just here to get high lol....

Hi Polly
I got burned with my Ebay sales.
Got a letter in 2024 and now have to pay back 6 years of Income tax, interests and fines.
I know what they are capable of, they do not even need to look at the stuff themselves, their Connect AI enhanced system does all the data mining for them.
Remember that they have the power to trigger criminal inquiries if they believe stuff is fishy!

Yes Polly
I didn't mean to evade, I was just unaware like many UK Ebay users that I had to pay tax on some types of sales.
The lesson is that the taxman does not need to prove that you hve to pay tax, the onus is on you.
So if they go after crypto users biggas will have to provid details of purchases, sales, transfers, disposals,etc.

yes you would be taxed (in terms of capital gains) on any gains you made disposing of crytpo by purchasing goods, but they're not taxing the entire transaction, they're taxing any gains you made - ie crypto price at time of buying/disposal minus price at time of purchase of the coin itself. (in which case most of us will have made a small loss overall, if you're simply transferring to buy that day etc). I don't think they are going to be particularly interested in what you spent it on, just in terms of their resources/efficiency. An export of the wallet transactions is the most you would reasonably be expected to provide, which would show coins entering and leaving and their prices. Or for you to work the prices out. Not reasonable to expect you to have every end receipt I think. What they'll be far more concerned about in terms of taxation is people who convert crypto into fiat (ie cash) in the exchanges and then withdraw to their bank accounts. If you're not doing it that way round, I think it's highly unlikely they'll focus on you. If we're talking about a few grand spent on crypto here or there. I'm no expert but this is my impression from looking into it all. If cash isn't heading back into your bank, how would they prove you made any gains? (if your wallet transactions show a slight loss)
The main problem with them is that the onus is on you to prove or disprove anything.
You'd have to show the amount leaving the exchange in USD or GBP and how much that was worth once it reached a wallet.
So ou could technically be asked to trace all of your crypto assets up to the point os disposal.

Sign up for koinly or summ.com. Free service to crawl all your btc account activity. I ran a free trace for my coinbase acc and exodus wallet since opened/ used (5 year or so). Everything came back negative gains. I only buy btc and purchase with it straightaway. Don’t hold onto it.
yep I did the same with Koinly and also had small negative gains. It can process all that data for you. Disposal is when it leaves the Exodus etc wallet and goes to a LB/Transaxe one.
I have extreme untreated anxiety and can't keep track of receipts in general, and definitely don't know any addresses...? How can anyone feasibly be expected to, or actually could, keep track of everything? I generally lose more than I gain in any 'disposal', so I'm pleading ignorance and hoping for the best. What could possibly go wrong...?
So I need to link my ID and my wallet address to this, and also sign up?! Fuck that. That's completely against the principles we're trying to resist.
Principles😂. I don’t get what you mean, it’s just pulling out the data for you that’s already there for all to see to show you whether you got a tax issue or not to be concerned about
I'd suggest not engaging with them in any way whatsoever, but SA if you must seems like a scenario that could occur.
I’m no expert but from what I read it is DAC8 legislation I live in the uk so any transaction made via a exchange like coinbase etoro and the others will be reported to HRMC on or around the 1st Jan 2027 any transactions starting from 1st Jan 2026 will be reported. UK is not in the EU so the UK has its own version CARF does the same thing.
Hi Gjohal1
That is my understanding too.
I am not certain that disposals aren't taxable based on the actual value of the disposal though.

Best British DJ?
RIP Randall, spent many many hours listening to him in 1989 on Centre force, respect ✊🏼 ❤️
Yes he's defo up there aswell. Never had the pleasure of seeing him live. He doesn't seem to do many shows up near me. HC closed the ring one year at beatherder an it blew my mind. I think the copious amounts of drugs helped!
There’s lots of good DnB DJ’s, Calibre is the best producer in my humble opinion. Technically Andy C is in a league of his own, I’ve been following him for over 20 years, he smashes it every time. Recently, his XOYO residencies were next level 🔊🔊 HC is a don too, Racing Green is 👌🏻
I remember Carl Cox doing 3 decks at Sterns nightclub in 92 ! Rat pack were there. Theres Druid, Mr C loads ! In that genre
You could run 10 decks... makes no difference its all for show. Watch DJ Craze and see what running just 2 decks is all about.
As a producer/creator he is unbeatable and way ahead of his time. Not a DJ tho.
he was sooo next level. what a fkn legend
he was sooo next level. what a fkn legend
Such a hard one to answer as DJing crosses so many genres, I’m breaking mine down a bit
Best all rounder - Mr scruff , can start with jazz and end with DnB
DnB - for me LTJ bukem but Goldie a second place
House/Tech - Sasha
Techno - Carl cox
Electronica - aphex twin and also chemical brothers
My favourites are DJs who take you on a journey starting at one place and ending somewhere different!! Big mentions also for me are Alex patterson , steve hillage system 7, DJ yoda , Randall, Fabio , John digweed

For being at the top consistently for so long and still so good live…Shy FX has to be up there
DJ Randall, Hype, Gamma. I just bought myself some second hand decks and enjoying learning the ropes
Well for us old timers when DJ meant something different it has to be John Peel and Annie Nightingale! Going back even further when the radio was everything it was Kenny Everett, Johnnie Walker, and others but now I feel every one of my 70 years so I'll stop there.
DJ EZ deserves more love here.
Not especially my kind of music (he mostly plays london-style garage), but his skills are next level. A rare example of someone utilising digital turntable technology to do things you can't do with analogue turntables rather than being a fucking lazy dj.

If wars evolved from fists to production to technology
And war is already a great business without the misery part
And political systems are extensions of society and economy and both of these are cool with not killing a lot of people
Can we just all keep fighting over money?

what comes after the web?
a lot has come and gone since the web. none of it as universal though.
Decentralisation, rebirth of the concept of governments and banks (stores of value and loans of value), the internet of money, the exchange of favours peer to peer, the recognition of favours, global decentralised online democracy, micro businesses go parabolic, communities become self sufficient, govts lose control. Its happening.
True though. example..I cashed out £3k yesterday just for posting on a crypto sub on reddit for a few years, 3-4 posts a week.. erc20 rewards. I use brave browser which offers free anti tracking, https upgrades, ad free browsing (inc youtube) and it pays as you go with BAT token. It covers my premium netflix monthly subscription and costs nothing.
Elon ain’t what he’s appearing to be.

Web 5. Decentralisation of personal data. Anonymity. Buyers Markets. People realise phones arent phones and just tracking chips that post spam in your face all day so we go back to mp3 players that make calls. We reverse the inversion and regain the ability to tell human from computer and truth from fiction again.
Humanity cannot progress or achieve the things we used to while big data has us pinned down with the technology and the mind games, constantly draining every penny we have. We're so busy trying to create money with our bare hands to pay off the debt they are creating that we can't get anywhere and never will.
People are working to take apart that system as we contemplate.
For now at least we have LB.

Cybernetic implants that turn you into a computer then we will go too far and try and turn the planet into a super computer and blow ourselves up again and it will be back to painting on cave walls.
Neural net will likely be next. You will see the net when you want in your own eyes. Real time everything. No screens, no devices except inside you.
When the web is fully developed, all endpoints interconnected and in harmony, I usually walk right into it and get it stuck in my hair.
Reticulum is looking really promising on the privacy decentralized web front, a whole cryptography based network stack:
https://reticulum.network/
Early days, but a lot of bits going on there:
Reticulum > network stack (similar TCP or UDP)
LXMF > message protocol (similar POP or SMTP)
RNode > a long range data radio (similar wifi access point) that you can build easily with $20 hardware and start building a mesh network
Sideband/MeshChat/NomadNetwork > full featured messaging clients
Crap name tho! :) Needs more marketing

written and produced by herbie flowers, one of the greatest session musicians of the late 60's and 70's (google him - he's was an amazing musician and played bass on many of the greatest recordings of the era from lou reed, scott walker, david bowie, t rex, bryan ferry, many more) who was sick of getting paid session rates and living in a two bed semi in ditchling while everyone who employed him got super rich so came up with the st. winifred's school choir records as a retirement plan, possibly also as revenge against a cruel, unjust and uncaring world/record buying public and maybe a bet with lou reed that he could make something even worse than metal machine music and still get it to number one.
you are right though, they are truly the worst songs ever recorded.

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

Driving my girls in my car when they were younger they always put the radio on. I'm fine with that but I had to insist on three strict rules. 1. No Phil Collins; 2. No UB40; and 3.

The Story of the Chinese Farmer
"The whole process of nature is an integrated process of immense complexity, and it’s really impossible to tell whether anything that happens in it is good or bad - because you never know what will be the consequence of the misfortune; or, you never know what will be the consequences of good fortune." ~ Alan Watts
Is there good or bad or is that just a concept we interpret the way we do due to religious mumbo jumbo ...
do you think its not possible to declare things as good or bad? do we need to bring up examples?
I didn't take the story as literally as saying that everything is all good or all bad, more like it's a possible lesson on how perspective can change the way we frame events. A lesson that could be useful for us to consider sometimes in our own lives.
We think we are conditioned to perceive things as good and bad and a large majority is influenced by religion
I don't think you need religion to consider say the murder of a child to be evil, it's our instinct, hard wired for survival.
I’ve heard this told several times by ram dass too and love his particular telling. It’s a great tale 🙏🏻

This is really interesting, seems the Romans never really integrated the local population so even at it's height the whole thing was tenuous.
It's always felt strange seeing Roman relics in England, like there is no continuity with anything else.
Fascinating. I really enjoyed the whole series. Itchy feet now though, i really want to travel!

in England we grew up loving American cowboy movies and the hero was always the same: quiet, cool and strong. to an outsider it seems this guy is dead and the cunt that owns the town and is always looking for more is the new America
Yes, if people like the ones at Emmanuel AME Church in Charleston become leaders.

Nasa is the best ambassador the US has, if they took 1/3 of the military budget and put into space travel the US would be back like Jordan.
Space travel for what? Branson is going to operate consumer flights, but how many times can billionaires fly to ISS before they get bored? Not many people can afford $150k for a short vacation.
tourism will always remain in the back seat. the commercialization of space has been about serving the planet as a whole with communications, its brought up the un-cabled world just like mobile phones have brought up the last mile. there is huge potential in energy production and distribution coming next.
space travel for discovery, learning and inspiration. the world could really use a moment of peaceful triumph.
Branson has sold tickets for twenty years without delivering a ride not sure how he is relevant to anything here.
Elon Musk estimates 5-10 years to get to Mars. At present the cost is $1 Billion per ton, so it'd need to be 1/1000th of the cost, apparently. The ship will also need to be reusable.
Traveling Mars is also not a point and shoot mission. You have to coordinate launches with the alignment of the planets' orbits to travel the shortest distance and not fly past the sun. This also requires a stay on Mars as you wait for safe realignment after landing. Current technology estimates a 21 month round-trip given a ~3 month stay on Mars. Money is not the biggest hurdle.
go open source, add new states, virtual citizenship and most of all healthy competition with other nations not war

What if nothing needs to be fixed but this is an opportunity for us to see what we don’t want our world to be…duality …we cannot know the one without the other
Peter Breggin. MD, former psychiatrist who took on the APA when profit motive became greater than the hypocratic oath doctors take to "first, do no harm", became the conscience of Psychiatry. Later in life he has runs a radio show exposing those persons involved in the Globalization Movement that is quickly eroding the common person's civil rights and creating barriers to those who choose to leave a work culture where your boss becomes your God and if you are lucky, you may receive paltry insurance and limited sick leave....the US is a nation of brainwashed drones who.probably have never had an original thought in their lifetime.
Dr Breggin advises us little people to organize and speak up....be a patriot....but look who we are up against....
Any lbs out there know of a better place to live where meager pensions are paid to elders who have to live on $2k a month and paid in Social Security taxes since they began work over 30 years agos. Thanks to Ronald Reagan and others like him repealed the formation of a self sustaining retirement system that President Clinton wanted.....
This is the tip of a gigantic iceburg to which any organized public outcry can be crushed by the Patriot Act.
Not to mention US top organizations, including the military, continue funding the weaponization of a once benign bat virus...
Population control has begun....freedom of speech has been compromised by media spin doctors, and a true Republic has turned communist......these globalists like Bill Gates, President Biden, George Soros, and anonymous billionaires are acting against law and liberty to defund any classes of us with little money, and spin doctor the media to brainwash us to believe we are having racial tension; what really is happening is class warfare.
Why do billionaires want just their money but the commoners money too? How much is enough to live on?
I get mad and feel compelled to stop the US from becoming part of the Communist Party of China.
Rather than dwell on frustration, I will smoke some kush mints so I can even sleep!

americas greatness came from common values attracting immigration from around the planet. make that again and yall have a chance
The country is too big to properly manage. To many different rules per state. The poverty and opioid epidemic is absolutely shocking beyond belief. Equality issues. Mad presidents and to many super rich families. Now
Let’s all head on down to Walmart to keep that cycle continued 😁👍

This guy never existed it was all hollywood fiction,now they are more likely to show America defeating the universe and saving humanity as they struggle to try and persuade everybody they are still the good guys and not a bunch of screaming mad nazi thieves going about the planet threatening other nations and causing wars and misery where ever they go.
The population grew to large. The citizen / individual is now a defunct concept. Group politics prevail. Democracy is dead.
52 different states with 52 different versions of law doesn't help. The country is massively different per location and is probably to big to govern properly. From bible belt to Disney land and everything in-between. We saw American culture this way years ago because we had very limited access to the products and lifestyle they had. When we did get the brands they were expensive and now that all things are world wide it's not so attractive anymore. You love what you can't have I guess. Underneath there are huge problems with opioid and fentanyl abuse in all big cities. That's the image of America these days, that and police brutality headlines. Wacky leadership isnt going to win any international friends as we have already seen with tariffs and so on. On the contrary the country has truly outstanding beauty and lots of good people aswell as bad. To save it? Wealth distribution is a huge factor as is free health care, those 2 alone must be the starting point for change
As an Englishman , I've never seen the US as more of a hero . They are the only Western country doing anything against the globalists . The naivety in this thread is just so sad . What is coming soon will open all your eyes . Lefties are living in their imagination fighting phantom racists conjured up by state controlled media . Wake the hell up , Wokie

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

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

Jesus was irrefutable as a real living person, Christians believe he was the son of God. Thats what their faith boils down to, you believe he could perform miracles or you dont, however Christ existed as a mortal being. Whether he rose from the dead etc is where faith derives, you believe or you dont.

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

I'm 50/50 on whether that last point was tongue in cheek, but just in case it wasn't, the names of the Apostles are Anglicised from Aramaic (via Hebrew and Greek).

I like another man's explanation who's name I can't remember now,
"the egg came first but the thing that birthed it wasn't a chicken".
It explains genetic mutations and evolution perfectly.
"the egg came first but the thing that birthed it wasn't a chicken".
It explains genetic mutations and evolution perfectly.
I've said this many times. The mutation occurs, the egg is produced, so whatever birthed it wasn't a chicken. Ergo, the egg came first.
The first amniote eggs, which are eggs with a protective shell allowing them to be laid on land, are thought to have appeared around 312 million years ago.
Chickens evolved about 9000 years ago.
Not even a close race, the egg won.
Chickens evolved about 9000 years ago.
Not even a close race, the egg won.
Every thing crawled out of the sea even the ancestors of the chicken, Barney the dinosaur. I have no answer.
The chicken rolls over, grabbing a breath she half pulls the cover over her slim but shapely feathery body leaving one clawed foot and some thigh exposed to balance the heat whilst the egg reaches to the bedside cabinet. Placing a smoke in its improbable mouth he lights it, exhaling a long steady stream of smoke followed with a couple of almost perfectly circular rings of smoke he exclaims "well that solves that age old question"
I suppose the egg would need chickens legs but I never thought about it
However the egg needs lesson in smoking

The Typical Man Disgusts the Typical Woman
"Evolution can at times seem like a cruel joke. It’s not hard to use evolutionary psychology to explain why the typical man disgusts the typical woman: Since women’s maximum reproductive capacity is strictly limited, they’re evolved to be hypergamous, with a strong preference for mating with the best of the best."

How does it work?
1 Just press "share" on any topic, person or item and you get a custom link that you can share anywhere on the internet: on email, messaging or social nets. These sharing links embed your reference code into whatever you are sharing.
2 The 1st time you make a link you get a message from us (transaxe support) inviting you over to our site to add your btc address. That's where we send your coins. Do this asap as messages on lb disappear after 45 days.
3 Every new registrant landing here with your link earns you bitcoins - on every single purchase they make here forever.
At transaxe.com you'll be able to see every transaction that you made possible, including the public blockchain reference. It's completely auditable and despite the anonymity, it's the most transparent referral program on the internet.

Best to advertise on social media use a algorithm tool target audiences like smokers post refferal link to url shortener or better still your own custom domain and redirect it to your refferal link. We should have lb merchandise clothing caps etc maybe a good suggestion for admin. I would ne happy helping out with creating a site you can purchase lb t shirts and even add qr codes this will for sure spread the word
Feel free to message me if you need advice
Many thanks

Can you please provide clarity on this. Registered users clicking on referral links have been generating since I joined the site, hence you have people like Caeba making lists as they know once a user registers here there’s a high chance of them finding the lists.
If the system worked as intended, and any of my referred users always stayed as my referrals and not going to the most recent link clicked, I would put some effort into producing QR codes and distributing them but I see no incentive (other than for admin that always get fees regardless) for me to bring users to the site only to be poached by other users.

there is no poaching, the link someone registers with is the only thing that matters. once someone registers with that link everything they buy earns btc for you forever.
Its a 1 % of gross on every transaction,
"You'll also see that every transaction that you introduce including the blockchain reference. "

Hey, Im not sure the message to link your Transaxe account always comes after you share the first link, I think it comes a few days after you set up your account here or it did for me, that's why I missed it, when I learned about the referral program it was already gone from my message thread.
Have a look back through your messages for it but if its gone Transaxe Support should be able to help you link the accounts.
You can message them👊🏻

Testing the theory and it does seem to come after you share a link so I must have just missed it when it happened, either way they were able to connect my accounts in the end so hopefully they'll sort yours out too🤞🏻

Helping girlfriend through first time trying the herb.
My girlfriend has brought up that she finally wants to try it, but edibles, not vaporizer as she has asthma and that's okay.
I personally am preparing a room in my home for this, making it cosy, preparing snacks and making sure it's as comfy for her as possible.
My question is, does anyone here sell a perfect edible for a first timer on this site. I personally would add my ABV to something, but I want to make sure it's dosed, and correct for her, as I want her first time with weed to be as happy of a memory as I can.
I personally have a high tolerance, and I personally don't know how much is too much for edibles, so advice is appreciated.

Would not drop edible for first timer.
Mrs apex wanted to try the herb one day. Tried a vape cart, said it did nothing. Waited a bit and she chomped one of my edibles.
She was monged and whinged more than ever complaining about “dry mouth” while I found this relatable and hilarious she was scared shitless and was up all night lapping water from the bathroom tap like a fucking cat 😬😂

🤣🤣 yea Mr Apex my mates girlfriend ate one of his special cookies and was a wreck for hours,he said she giggled for about an hour ate everything in the fridge then puked her ring out and was paranoid for the next hour before crashing out for 10 hours,when she woke up the first thing she did was bop him on the head with her bag lol
same experience here. can also freak out the stomach on noobs and a trail of paranoia follows.
Edibles for a newbie is not a good idea you would be better seeing if you can get some RSO that way you can put a little bit on a piece of chocolate for her to try it and if she likes it you can then up the amount taken,last thing you want is her having a whitey on edibles the first time she tries it.
This is a solid suggestion tbh. If she is a coffee fiend, one of my favourite ways was micro dosing RSO into my coffee. About half a grain of rice sized for a first timer probably a good place to start
So thought I'd give an update.
So - she tried the vaporiser at a lower temp 385. And she loved it. We watched Star Trek and had an amazing time. Glad I could share that with her.

Aye, I get the - it could be too strong.
I have tried explaining it, but again, it's a case of she is heavily concerned with her asthma. I have witnessed it too a few times.
I can try and suggest it again.

As long as its a low dosage, like 5-10mg. So even if you got something at 50, just cut a small piece off. Problem is, when it comes to edibles, vendors have a habit of making them strong, people generally want to get monged. There's a few amazing edible vendors here though that will inevitably pop up, can't recommend any though, edibles aren't my thing.
Have a look at my drops here - https://littlebiggy.net/link/HMaYnT
In particular, the Kush 'n' Cookies CBD, these are perfectly balanced THC:CBD and won't be overwhelming for a new user, the 'Day Nurse' drops should also be good for new users, again, its balanced out with some CBD.
I'd advise against the FECO blend drops, these are too strong for someone with no tolerance & the Night Nurse drops will have her asleep before she gets to enjoy cannabis!

Any edibles or anything else like RSO that can take hours to kick in is a terrible idea for someone with unknown tolerance. Edibles can vary greatly in strength depending on vendor. Glad you had a good time with the vape. Maybe try a live resin cart? It's a lot easier to dose to the level required and then stop with those methods.
I took a 500mg chocolate bar before coming back from France a couple of years ago and I thought I was on a rollercoaster spaceship, for hours. Started to come up as I'm handing passports over. Imagine how that would feel to someone who'd never experienced it ever before.

smart to ask here, you can avoid turning her off weed for good after a bad experience.
the cozy room sounds claustrophobic to me. in any event remember the 1st rule of a bad trip is to change rooms/ head outside.

#3 Open a Direct Ship Parapahanila Shop
Smart biggas come here to find out what vape to buy.
Smarter biggas will open a direct ship (middleman in the vernacular of the unenlightened) shop and curate the shniz out of what's out there. Customers will not only appreciate the discussion and community back up, they will love the privacy from the internet-financial complex.
But why is this a referral tip? That's a question for the smartest biggas. They see this for something a Lot Bigger.
Paraphernalia can be promoted and advertised just about anywhere on earth.
People that follow your link will discover LB ("The Moment").
Then every purchase from every single one of them over the next 5 years earns a buck or 2. Consider it a 5 year reverse mortgage on a nice house.
Looking for a partner to help you set up? 4 letters: T-O-D-D.

Indeed my bigga Indeed lol
I dont wanna pay with my account then have to see your bloody order on my order page for 45days instead of my waiting orders…lol learnt that the hard way when paying Extractor (God Bless that bigga 🙏)
I’ll get a some regular bigga to pay you and I’ll pay him in product.
I’d like to do this the laziest way possible.

It's easy peezee to get 3 pounds back, the referral income is like that on 1 larger order. And no bigga stops with 1 order so say 30 bucks to you for each person that uses your reference url (my experience is better than this).
So if 1 out of 10 grinder recipients becomes a bigga you have your money back.
If you are distributing them to the right audience you will do a lot better than 1 out of 10.
Distribution is the key, if you are targeting the right crowd could easily sell them at a loss or give them away. You'll have an incredible business here.
This is one of the best ideas i have heard, gl, thanks for sharing.

yes liam, it's going to be cheap and you could give them out in concerts cheaply or anywhere els. the interesting question would be the longevity of the lighters about 50X, i would try both and test. if you need a brother to help you out im here.

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 👍

Biden laughing all the way to the bank. While UK, Europe suffers...
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 .
If you have any questions , please ask

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 .

How is Nationalism Any Different from Racism?
I don't want to give preference to someone the same color as me so why should I prefer someone for being born in the same country as me (or worse they are ordained a citizen by some twat)?
Basically it derives from the same origins. There are certain laws of ethnic relations in history of humankind, such as:
1. law of percentage: lets say a black person somewhere in gothenburg or copenhagen would trigger an amused curiosity and the outpouring of sincere sympathy, however, if you "inject" immigrant workers up to the fateful threshold of 4-8 percent and you will already have a racial situation - the nature of social relationships changes, engendering ethnic tensions, global reflexes painful to describe. The more the percentage increases, the more class struggle transforms itself into racial confrontation. Basically, this percentage is sufficient to make racial discrimination appear spontaneously in people who previously believed itself wholesome and devoid of any racist sentiment.
2. The law of assimilability: If majority and the minority belong to the same large ethnic group (all are white, or all a asian), then assimilation occurs progressively. For example, Spanish or Portuguese workers despised in France not so long ago, integrated themselves into population within the space of one generation; same for descendants of corsicans and the poles during napoleonic era, same for bambara minority living in senegal. But if the ethnic and cultural gap is too big, tensions are exacerbated with time. Like African Blacks and Arabs find themselves in this situation in Europe. Coexistance basically becomes possible only in a truly Socialist state or a state that has adopted a high morality philosophy.
3. the law of distance: like two ethnic groups that are not fighting over the same living space or same market and occupy different territories separated by space can enter into normal relationships. Like that an alliance can be explained during world war 2 between hitlers germany and japan. or relationship of pretoria with israel state.
4. the law of phenotype: basically physical appearance. It would matter little tgat botha and zulu in africa have the same genotype (same genes in the chromosomes) and it would have no influence on their daily lives because their external features are so different.
Laws of class struggle according to history applies only to societies previously made homogeneous by violence. Funny, that the most modern nations actually went through this bestial struggles before (Americas, australia, new zealand, good part of asia, greenland, huge part of pacific, scandinavia, etc, etc).For example Blacks of Americas were brough over to work the land, while the indigenous races were being destroyed. So, the "more advanced" barbarious conquerors exterminated/drove out whole populations, devastated or abandoned productive forces they they simply did not know how to use. This specific law is one of my favourite... how spartan domination ended by crumbling particularly because of the great numeric weakness of their REAL citizens. Because their society consisting of spartan conquerors and lowly helots both belonged to the same large white-skinned 'race', ethnic differences became blurred and it allowed class differences appeared only in an economic sense.
Same goes for Rome and Carthage, Rwanda-Burundi, Francs and Gallo-Romans.
Have a look at the american immigration laws and how it progressed throghout 19-20 centuries. This law also gave birth to so called intra-european racism, etc.
We forget that the passage from a clan to a monolingual tribe and to ethnic group and to nationality historically was a result, a consequences of clans exogamy. It is still widely discussed by specialists. But it marked starting point of the current civilization.
Endogamy was prohibited and we, humans, just started fucking people from the outside kkk several neibourhing clans contracted marriage ties that led them eventually to speak same languages despite that their original idioms were different.
The number of clans to gather together to work a more or less powerful tribe didnt follow any rules and depended mostly on the fertility and extent of the lands occupied by the group. Thus was born nationality.
In the course of history, when two groups of people argued over a vital economic space, the slightest ethnic difference can be magnified, temporarily serving as a pretext for social and political cleavage: differences in physical appearances, colour of your passport, language, religions, morals and customs.
We forget that basically future generations must forget about the dead so that the conquering people can undergo a rebirth with an angelic consience.
Why do we almost idolise, for example, conquistadors, holy crusaders and vikings? Pillagers, rapists, murderers and worse.
Most of the things we learn and follow, most of the times, blindly, things we consider as truths and solid facts, the very foundation of our personal universes - it was predominantly build based on someones ideologies.
Books, that our kids and us read, are also written under certain circumstances, conditions, requirements, with certain motivations. Dictated by an ideology.
Sooo.... sorry for the massive message. It just questions like this trigger something inside me, something that i consciously try to understand and overcome. For before we are races or nationalities, boys or girls, gays or straight, we are humans.
Peace yo.

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

The whole SNP "independence" thing is a facade.
The SNP want to leave our union and join the EU club because they'll give them more money than Westminster does.
They still want to be financially "dependent", just a more generous sugar daddy.
I'm talking about the SNP, not all Scots :)

High Raskolnikov. Your post showed as a comment on mine so You're addressing me, then. I have no intention of stating anything about what Scots want. My point is that I consider an English Independence Referendum is incumbent on ourselves to determine our Englishness without the input of the other three nations. Devolution, revolution, phooey! We want ablution. Wash our hands of the lot of you. Do we? Who does? Has anyone got this underway? Sturgeon and Salmond? Something fishy about those two!
I wouldn’t blame the English people if they started to see things this way but we are still all better as a union and I think you know this. Sturgeon and Salmond are just typical politicians mate who lying is a big part of the job description. There has been a huge change in Scotland in my lifetime where the working class vote has moved away from labour to the snp. Labour has shot themselves in the foot so many times but also the snp politics has changed. I have been on this earth a long time and the snp have changed so much. Sturgeon is still using her bloody daily briefing up here to try to indoctrinate the nation. I’m going to stop here as I am ranting.
Not English, then. To be born an Englishman is to win first prize in the lottery of life. That life being the infliction of Imperialism on 25% of the world's population. Nothing wrong with that, was there?
Sturgeon's manifesto was just a wish list, impossible to accomplish. I don't want Scotland to leave. We may rib each other on things but I'd like to think we have each others back when things get tough. We live on the same island. Crazy to break up.
I am British not Scottish or Welsh or Irish or English but British.
So the idea of England going on its own is kind of laughable.
I prefer this great country as one nation,I have lived all over UK so I class myself as British. Ever since devolved countries we had loads of petty arguments enough of the arguments and do there jobs.
The Scottish independence route will end up like n ireland scottish people are divided straight down the middle so can see issues battle grounds comes to mind bombings etc etc just like n ireland AND its not going to happen anyway thank god.:D
Or you english going be invaded of all the people that do not want there countries independent lol.
Plus the Queen will never allow it to happen she is still the most powerful lady in this country and can override any laws in the UK set by government it is in the small print when she signed it over to the government. She has her palaces all over the UK.
She wants to send to her son to America to answer for the crimes he is guilty as fk otherwise he would have gone over and answered there questions on very serious sex crimes.
Guilty as fk he is by dodging the request of the FBI and CIA law to himself hiding behind mummy he is.
I am British loud and proud !!!

I’m British and Scottish mate. Think it is possible to be both. I’m not interested in Independence and believe it will not happen and will be a disaster if it does. In Scotland Salmond courted a certain block vote and got it. That is what has got the snp to where they are. That and shortbread tin thinking. They will soon want to let over 14 s vote. As I said in another post, Scottish Independence is not the endgame for a lot of snp.
I always thought this, we are taught to be separate and see our differences constantly, great way for a small percentage of people to control us with concepts like "nationalism" and this your "land" blah blah.
Scotland's nationalist party don't want to exclude races, they want independence from another countries rule. It's not about racism.
lol. ok, i'll bite...
nationalism is a term for those with common interests as citizens of the same country working together for mutual benefit and/or pride.
racism is a hatred of one or more person/s where skin colour is the basis used for the defining attribute.
neither is mandatory last I heard.

It was a joke mate but fuck, Vietnam. Is that what you are comparing Scottish Independence to?
Are you talking about Arab supremacists like Hamza Yousaf ? I'm unaware of any other racists in Scotland .
a lot of nationalists aren't so much racists as exclusionary. they believe in a social contact that only exists amongst members. outsiders are not part of the deal.
Just like you would naturally have a preference for feeding your own family in your own home, before you concerned yourself with feeding anyone else.
This would not mean you hated other people, or didn't wish the best for them.
I think Nationalism is often confused with extreme Right wing ideologies, when it could be Left or Right really.

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

Not even Ethno nationalism is racist . You can love your own ethnicity more than others without hating them .
Because we can change our nationality as it’s make believe. You cannot change your DNA which is real
Nationalism has more positive range for example promoting culture. Racism is usually associated with negative feelings about other races.
They both seem doomed if you ask me.
They both seem doomed if you ask me.
only in touchy feely places like the uk ... not in most other countrys ... too much self hatred in this country ...
Not synonymous, but it's an interesting point.
In some sense, I think it is an individual and academic choice to be patriotic (even that is turned into a dirty word now), root for your country or be proud of it voxally. It's OK to like your country if you really do. You do live there after all. It's just a country. Other countries are not minorities in their own country as the British are not here.
As you allude to, it is a lottery, not a skill, being British (or Irish for that matter). There is little merit to being "proud" I agree. But it doesn't oppress anyone or anything in itself. It is a way to preserving culture and way of life. You can't pick who you think should be able to do that.
Otherwise, the takeaway is, only the oppressed are allowed to be proud of anything and preserve culture. What kind of world is that?
I do think that no matter what, being proud of your race is pointless, stupid and divisive.
It suggests a nexus between a superiority or exceptionality and racial group.
After all, skin colour is decided only by a few alleles in the genome and indicates very little about one's charachter.

Racism is necessarily exclusionary. But Nationalism isn't.
In general I am wary of nationalism, but there are times when it has achieved positives.

I think it is oxytocin that causes the problems as it creates aggressive in-grouping, be it from the innateness from skin colour or the innateness from where someone was born.
There was a study I linked to but there is more out there about the dark side of oxytocin. There was quite a few articles in the dumber section of media about giving men oxytocin to fix their aggression problems when in fact it might be a major factor in causing them.

I'm a nationalist. I want England and all our major cities to be English and not resemble Bangladesh. That makes one a racist nowadays.
If the reason you give for those cities resembling Bangladesh is people of other races, that's kinda the definition of racism. If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's probably a closet racist.
The people make the nation. Change the people and the nation changes with it. Very simple concept to understand that is being proved everyday in this country. Natives are being demographically replaced in our homeland, but because we're white native displacement is considered a moral good. Soon British children are going to grow up as hated minorities in their own country. The clock is ticking...
So it's about revenge? Not exactly on to a winner with that argument. 99.99% of Britons had nothing to do with the British Empire. Just say you have an anti-white bloodlust and shut up
no, its just a result of a worldwide empire. i love whites and certianly wont shut up in the face of an ignorant one.
Nonsense answer. It's happening in Ireland as well. They didn't have an Empire and were subjugated by us.
I was just watching this video of Nick Shirley in Ireland . https://youtu.be/WfJggeIw_94?si=53bYT9Vv6eHP90wL
I think Ireland might be in even bigger trouble than Britain. There doesn't seem to be any political representation for them at all.
I think you're right . However , they do community a lot better over there . I reckon they're more likely to fight back sooner . We've already seen it in places like Coolock .
It really is awful what they've done to Ireland .

I have two lefties in my DMs threatening to post my address and do violence against me because I called out the violence of Islam . These lefties are truly disgusting
The reason certain areas of Britain look like Bangladesh now is because we've let in too many people from other cultures without giving them a chance to assimilate .
I have no hate towards Bangladesh . I'd love to visit some day , but when I go to London , I don't want to be surrounded by Bangladeshis , I want to be surrounded by Londoners and their culture . London is lost now . The culture of London can never recover from the insane amount of immigrants we've allowed to move there . It's very sad for anyone who loves British culture . Of course racists like yourself who hate whites and Brits can't see the problem .

London never had any 'culture'? Means one thing that was ever cultural about London, that you don't see now.
How can you say such a thing ?
Is London the only city that never had any culture ? What about Tokyo , Rome , or Paris ?
Does culture even exist in your world view ?
London used to be the capital of British culture . The British people are the one thing that made London a cultural hub . Those people are being pushed out at an alarming rate . 40% of London are now foreign born . These people have brought their own culture with them . This is why some parts of London feel more like Bangladesh these days .
Bangladesh is a very apt example as It's a region which has recently had it's own culture eradicated by fundamentalist expansionist Islamists . Bangladesh should be a warning to us about the dangers of uncontrolled immigration .
I don't know about you but I love my people . I don't want to see them replaced by people from the third world . I think that would be extremely racist .

Even through that lengthy rant, at no point did you mention any examples of London culture that no longer survive to this day. Why is that?
If you calm down and read more critically , you will see that I offered the British people themselves as the one cultural asset which no longer survives in London . Now answer my questions .
So you don't know. Just say that. British people are not a CULTURAL TRADITION. That and, they are still in London. Your issue is just plain racism, you don't like seeing people that aren't white in your country. Here's a few examples of culture that still exist in London. Pie and Mash, Cockney slang, Shakespeares globe, the museums, the cathedrals, the monarchy. I'd go on, but what's the point. You're a loser Pete. I'm a proud Scottish Nationalist, and we Love our culture, we also love new cultures and people's that have settled in Scotland and consider it home. You know why? Because we aren't like you. We're accepting. We want the best for Scotland, not for Whites, because fuck that stupid bigotry racist shite. You can be Brown, Black, Green or Blue, we don't care, as long as you love Scotland too, and contribute to the nation. Whether that be through paying taxes, or education. People make Scotland. Not just white people. Guess what? The only country that tried to destroy our cultural traditions is now our friends. Well, some of you.
You get racists in every country, the UK is no exception, but the way you talk is frankly disgusting.

British people are ''culture'' because culture is simply the expression of your national character and personality. You live and breathe culture simply by being who you are. Only small numbers of foreigners can be integrated into that. You change the people and the culture changes with it
What a nasty and unfounded rant . You know we can disagree and still be friendly .
My best and oldest friend is half Ghanaian . I love all ethnicities but I have a duty to protect my own .
I don't want to see any ethnicity replaced in their own lands , but I have a special obligation to the replacement happening here .
The British people are the ones who carry the British tradition . The people who replace us will not carry on the culture in our place .
Who is going to be speaking cockney or eating pie and mash once there are no Brits left in London ? The shocking speed of the replacement means there is no hope for new comers to assimilate .
You are being very short sighted if you consider yourself a proud nationalist yet can't see the danger your culture is in .
Are you not shocked that 40% of London are now foreign born ? These people bring their own cultures . At that concentration , they couldn't assimilate even if they wanted to .
How would you feel about replacing 40% of Tokyo with Americans ? Would it still be Japanese or would it ruin the culture ?

So you're best and oldest friend is not your own, because he's Ghanaian? What an absurd view.
"Who is going to be speaking cockney or eating pie and mash once there are no Brits left in London?" why, are all those non whites going to commit genocide and Take Urr Cuntray?
"You are being very short sighted if you consider yourself a proud nationalist yet can't see the danger your culture is in" our cultural heritage has never been stronger, not since you lot tried to destroy our culture by banning our language, banning our kilts, removing us from the highlands, but, we forgave you sad little people.
"Are you not shocked that 40% of London are now foreign born?" I don't understand where the problem is here?
"How would you feel about replacing 40% of Tokyo with Americans ? Would it still be Japanese or would it ruin the culture?" Considering that the Japanese are very western leaning, they still have a fantastic historical heritage and legacy, that will never go away. Just like how Londons heritage is very much alive to this day.
Again, you're just a racist Pete.

I never said my Ghanaian friend wasn't my own . Why are you misrepresenting me ?
He is a very British black man . He also understands this problem . Would you call him a racist for holding the same views as me or does he get a free pass for being black ?
If you replace all the British people with foreigners then obviously the culture will be lost . It hasn't taken a genocide to replace 40% , but violence is certainly not off the table for incoming cultures . Look at what the Muslims recently did to the Hindus in Bangladesh for example .
If the Japanese are replaced by Brits , they will obviously lose their strong culture . This goes without saying .
You're being unreasonable and actually absurd in your denial . It's basic maths . I think I'll leave it there . Please stop calling me a racist without a shred of evidence for it .

If it's the colour of people's skin you're referring to, and you're suggesting you have to be white to be regarded as english, then yes, you are. Not just nowadays, always.
So you deny the English of their genetic heritage ? For you to understand how racist that it , I want you to apply your reasoning to any other ethnicity ?
Are the Japanese , Chinese , and Africans racist for holding these ethno nationalist views or does it only apply to white people ? If you're only applying this standard to white people then you are the racist .
Of course it's possible to be civically British and ethnically foreign , but like any foreigner who moves to another country , we should respect the people we are trying to join . That includes the ethnicity and the culture of the natives . There's nothing racist about respecting the countries that take us in .

English genetic heritage? Which one? The ones that originate from Germania? The Vikings? The Norman's? Your genetic heritage has more influence from other nationalities, not just the Angles. Who were German.
As is true for every single ethnicity on Earth . Yes , we are a mix , just like everyone else , but I don't think you're denying the existence of ethnicity , are you ?
Race is extremely important to the ethnicity of the Japanese , Chinese , Africans , etc .
Ethno nationalism is the norm in the rest of the world .
Do you think the rest of the world are all racist too ?

I had to repeat myself because you didn't address this point the first time I made it . Instead you chose to argue about semantics . I don't think you have an actual argument
You can't engage me on this argument because it would expose your double standard and prove that you are the racist one here .
That's why all you can do is dodge and insult .
That's why all you can do is dodge and insult .
I'm racist because I have no issue with immigration and multiple cultures? That's new. I'm very happy to welcome people who want to make a life here, that want to work and contribute, I couldn't give a flying fuck what nationality someone is, or what skin colour they are, as long as they aren't like you Petey boyyo. You really should reread this entire conversation.
You're a racist because you deny the British of their culture and genetics . Unless you hold this view consistently for all people , Africans , Asians , etc , then you are being racist .
Genetics, really? So you must be white too be British? Nobody is destroying British culture you fuckwit Pete. You couldn't even give an example of British culture that no longer exists.
Still no argument . I really don't think you have one . It's all baseless insults with you lot .
My argument has already been covered. Nobody is taking away Londons culture. You're a fool for thinking it.
Different argument . We had to give up on that one because you were denying the obvious . 40% and growing fast is obviously going to impact the culture. I will argue no more with you about that .
Let me copy and paste the question you are dodging :
Race is extremely important to the ethnicity of the Japanese , Chinese , Africans , etc .
Ethno nationalism is the norm in the rest of the world .

Ethno nationalism is only the norm in your world pal, not in the world of the less ignorant.

This is an objectively true fact . Do you think they're racist too ?

Seeing as no-one's answered you Pete, and you keep asking. Yes, of course they are. All ethno-nationalism is racist.
Then racism really isn't that bad , and for some reason only white people are supposed to feel guilty about it .
Racism is kinda racist like that .
Racism is kinda racist like that .
english is a race mate just like indian im english if i move to india im not an indian ? same thing should apply in the uk
India did it's own conquering and assimilating . Every country has . The UK was just the best at it . The people who are still practicing this expansionism are the fundamentalist Islamists . Islamists are the only genuine far right threat yet they're championed by you lefties because they happen to be foreign . If you want to fight racism , you should oppose Islamist expansionists . You can ask your Indian friends all about this . They know all too well the dangers of fundamentalist Islam . I think you'll find they prefer the British to the Islamists these days .
No , it was wrong . But there's a big difference . Christian expansionists went against the teachings of Jesus . Islamic expansionists are doing exactly what Muhammad did .
I have many non white and Muslim friends who I love dearly . I think you've got the wrong idea here . Who told you I was racist ?

Since when were the Crusades against the teachings of Jesus? Your rants show your true colours Pete. Nobody admits they're racist, I'm telling you, you are.
I don't consider the Crusades to be expansionism . That's a poor example .
Actually , racists do admit they're racist . That's just hateful woke rhetoric so you don't have to engage . You label and other your political opponents because you don't have an argument . It's bigoted and hateful . I assure you , you are far more racist than I am .

You'd be surprised . My view is on the rise in the West . Just look at the US . I was an ignorant lefty like yourself until about August of last year when the riots started and I spent time doing some independent research on the topics raised .
I change my mind based on facts and logic .

Yep, it's like Nazi Germany all over again. They were Nationalists too you know. If you changed your mind based on facts and logic, I'd expect you did your research through Musk and GB News.

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

That's the woke idea of racism . It's not useful for anything but justifying woke racism .
Racism is a universal principle . Once you start adding caveats it becomes a self defeating philosophy . Racism under the new woke definition is itself racist .

your entire comment gets disregarded as clearly you are just another wanker who calls everything they don't like woke.

They're called 'Woke ' ironically because they're actually asleep . It's the name we've given to all the violent bigots on the left who haven't done any research into the causes they champion .
You'll often hear them mindlessly chanting the opposite of truth . Free speech is undemocratic . Israel are committing genocide rather than defending against one , Women can be men , Jews are Nazis , UK patriots are Nazis . Everyones a Nazi apart from the actual Nazis in Ukraine or the Islamo Nazis who have the same genocidal goals . It goes on and on .
'Woke ' is the name given to the lefty movement that is so ignorant and twisted that it's almost satanic .
These people are useful idiots for the Globalists . They can never defend their stance , so they always refuse to debate and often turn violent when challenged .

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.

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.
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.

Ah, the Lords prayer of the troll world.
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

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.

what's left libertarianism?
Then who determines the government?
if anyone can parse this bs on wikipedia id love to see it
B.s confirmed. The libertarian/authoritarian is a different axis from the left/right paradigm. The left/right axis doesn't really matter anymore. Classic liberalism much more akin to Conservative values.
The more relevant terms when talking of the laissez-faire ideas are whether you are a consequentialist, or deontological libertarian I.e: do consequences matter or is it the rules that matter?

The government determine the rules, generally speaking don't they?
The consequentialist libertarian generally would say that they are not against force (by government)per se, but they believe in strong private property rights because it generally makes people happy and prosperous when they have them.

I find today’s liberal left to be very authoritarian in nature. They use all the kind fluffy buzz words but ram it down your throat with a hot poker.
This must make the Right and Far Right complete Nazis then I guess. It’s all relative.
This rhetoric about liberalism being authoritarian is just propaganda served up by the Right for the most part (including Kier Starmer’s Labour, which is essentially just right of center Tory at this point) If you buy into it, you have fallen for it.

it makes sense: private property for what we create, public property for what's already sitting on the planet.
The Beano is as much an encyclopedia as Wikipedia. https://libcom.org/article/libertarian-marxist-tendency-map + any anarcho history from Bakunin and Stirner onward.
Left and right are wings of the same bird. Liberty is when the bird flies forward. And people are in awe of the lack of polarity. And learn to love each other again.
A true president like that and the only one in the world is Milei Argentina , guy saved his country from crashing down due to importing US values in mostly a Traditional hard working country.
The people of Argentina have given him a bigger mandate than ever and rejected the Peronists.

Any good vendors which ones are good as having been ripped off by 2 already this month.
Recently having had trouble with a few vendors due to lies and lack of communication customer service and theres none help. Just vendors ripping hard working people off.
Have to jump through hoops to get a reply or any kind of communication from Borge and vendors just ignoring u like we are a piece of crap. I work hard for my money and having recently been mugged off but two vendors. if u vendors are seeing this I think it’s best to send me what’s mine. One Who sent half the weight I.e bought 112g got 60g. The second one doesn’t want to reply to messages. I’m not getting mugged off. So I will speak out the names. This site has become a joke no help or anything just gets dragged out. If I paid next day I should get it next day. If order ain’t received on the second or third day max it should be a straight refund and a fine to these vendors who take the pi$$.
if I pay for a certain weight I should get that certain weight are u hearing me vendors.
Is there any good vendors that will take my money and provide me with what I have asked for. Any good vendors
I really need a good vendor due to health issues I use goods from here everything from candy to smoke and this has ruined and left me in pain. Lots of it. So please only recommend a good trustworthy vendor I really can’t afford to get robbed.
Thank you and any help would be greatly appreciated

why a postal monopoly?
yes each postbox should be 1st in best dressed. every carrier has a key, everything tracked.
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 ;)
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?

Seems impossible to get any visibility or interaction what am I doing wrong ?
Help guys
its quite a saturated market atm in terms of the number of hash listings and unfortunately lots of them are bollocks. Being touted as triple filter, static etc but nowhere near and quite often tainted or filled with shit. It’s only my opinion but you should try to strike a rapport with the hash heads on here - starting discussions about methods or favourites. At the same time having to sacrifice a half with free gram intro offers, or something along that line. I’ve no reason to doubt what you’ve wrote in your bio but I think people will need to try it for themselves and no doubt would return to buy more if it’s legit.
interesting my knowlegde of hash making is vast
so i guess i will be easily be able to spot true hash lovers on here with some decent convo

Big hash fan - and as others have said there really is a lot of it about on here atm - personally I think that’s a great thing, however it’s hard to tell apart commercial hash (which certainly has its place) from more premium products. Tell us about your hash, genuinely keen to know more
Check out my sellers guide, some valuable information there regarding visibility.
Hiya Bud,
Visibility for new vendors seems tricky, but persevere and it should all fall into place. I remember a few pretty big vendors asking the same thing when they started too ...
There are a few guides, tips and tricks in the help section, I believe.
Best of luck : )

I’ve found pricing is essential mate. Make sure your items are reasonably priced your competing against a lot of vendors on here, a lot of which sell the same things.

We've had so many shitty new vendors (or should I say old vendors) its hard to trust anyone. Only new vendor I've seen be successful is TheSpliffFellas and there intro deal of 120 pound decent quality oz's was the ticket to a customer base. Higher priced Moroccan will always be a hard sell, if it truly is something special I guess when the first reviews come in more people will give it a shot.
I’ll take you on your word and order in the next week or so. Been put off hash from here after the last stuff was most definitely poisoned with something and it wasn’t exactly cheap. Proper put me on edge without any stone which made me think it was me, so my friends tried it and had exactly the same experience

Reads like a definition of late stage capitalism.
FB had something to say about the normalization of corruption that describes our time:
“When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.”

mechanical work w/ hangover?
risky yes, even injurious if i fuck up but for a stoner this seems the safer route.
Swapped gearboxes and turbos on the drive with stands baked out my face.
Get in the zone and a bit more cautious + less rage when fighting the rusty bolt on the 1998 scooby 😂

I try not to but sometimes when I’m driving around for work I’m still a little faded, I drive better high but fuck being on country roads etc only takes one slip-up for your life to be over.. not worth it
I get way more into mechanical work this way and as long as I'm not tired everything comes out better.

Lisbon vs Porto?
porto for shuro
weed is legal there now. got some lovely bud from a shop in the town centre of porto last year.
Not THC heavy weed I believe though. I was in the Algarve recently and they have had weed shops for ages but they only sell the CBD heavy products. Strictly no THC.
I would love to be wrong though 🤷♂️
I would love to be wrong though 🤷♂️
well, like i said, i bought actual weed - as in, THC, not CBD, from a high street store in lisbon last year.
Not made it as far up the coast as Porto yet but I really have a love for Lisboa 😍
Beautiful city, architecturally stunning in parts, safe, relaxed and welcoming atmosphere and some not too bad hash 😉

Hi mate, sorry don’t have anything sensible to recommend! Hash smoking and street dealing was pretty open in a couple of areas. I got offered a €10 deal from a guy who had a handful of these thin slices of blond hash all bagged up. Was
pretty nice so I got a couple more off him. It was a little sketchy
I’m sure there’s 1000’s of stories of people getting robbed using this same method

Thanks mate. I managed to get some lovely hash in the end, although had to barter with the guy (tried to sell me what must of been 5gs for 100 Euro's!) I've heard lots of stories of people selling total shite so guess I was fairly lucky in the end :)
seems easier to get cocaine, was offered it in the streets everywhere. not sure whats up with that
Been to Lisbon, loved the aquarium and sushi restaurants. The one I went to had a robot that served you which was hella new to me.
Buildings are cool to look at and the mall is pretty nice. Only other thing I can think of to mention is to check out the yellow castle on the mountain but I can't remember the name. The architecture is cool and they have a awesome garden setup which would be heavenly to smoke in if it was a perfect world.

Best Star Wars Game of All Time?
for oculus it's gotta be vader immortal, episodes 1 and 3
A man of culture I see. SWG had so many features and systems that I wish other MMOs would learn from. Crafting and player cities were something else in that game, being able to walk around a ship while in space etc. took it for granted back in the day now we have shit storms like star citizen
Used to absolutely love the original Empire Strikes Back sit down cabinet.
It used to save the high scores and fir a short period in my local muzzy the top 10 was all my initials :) great days

Star Wars: Dark Forces was superb. Like Doom, but Star Wars. Apparently now available on PS5.
Spent hours playing KOTOR on the original xbox. Been tempted to get Jedi:fallen order on my son's xbox as I keep getting offers sent to me but I hardly game anymore. Probably need to get back into it.
I was quite a fan of Battlefront 1 and 2 on the PS2 and Star Wars Bounty Hunter, I remember my dad playing it a lot when I was younger, loved that game.

Video reviews
Is anybody interested in video reviews of your products. If so where can i put them, youtube?
Im happy to add video reviews of any products that i try, and have already done some. Not posted them yet tho. I don't smoke. I only vape using storz and bickel volcano and a mighty+ so taste and flavours are so vibrant and enhanced. This way of consuming is perfect for reviewing bud…. Let me know if interested.

I'll chip in 20 bucks for a real comparison with winners and losers instead of the infomercial shite you get around here.
video reviews would be a great addition to this website. i'd say make the videos 'unlisted' on youtube so only people with the link can access it, but you probably already know that.
We are in the process of creating a static site with information about real vendors and no scammers will be entered. We already have quite a list of groups, etc. If people want to add then proof is required that they are legit.
The site also has an easy-to-read tutorial on buying Bitcoin or Monero for new users. If anyone wants to chip in (name another group or vendor etc) then pop us a message.
One thing we were not sure of was about adding people on here. The website will be on the clearnet so just wondering what people would like?
Cheers

Have a chat with Budzinho who tried to get this started and was posting the link here to his YouTube video. It got mixed reception and the videos kept getting flagged. I’m not entirely sure what the issues are but pictures and text on this topic wall seem the best way to go….
Yeah mixed reception is accurate.
On one side you have the LB team who will reward you for posting video reviews and have been advertising similar roles for awhile. Along with the majority of biggaz who also seem to see video reviews as a positive.
Then you have a few Biggaz who are worried that a LB social media presence will result in repercussions despite the LB team telling creators to link LB to whichever social media platforms they want.
Product reviews have to be paid for by yourself otherwise they fall under the Incentivized Post's category which will result in a ban.
If your doing it solely for the love of the site and expect nothing in return then why not.

I want to do it for the love of weed. All I want is a good quality product, from a good quality vendor. I want to review the vendor and their products. I am happy to pay for everything myself, I have been buy cannabis products for over 30 years. So to review what I buy is no problem at all. The only thing holding me back. Is the vendors them selves. I am honest and straight to the point. My reviews will obviously not be anonymous there will be upset vendors I’m sure. My question is will this then affect me from buying from vendors that aren’t to happy.

Colin.

Sounds great mate.
Just make sure to buy the product's you want to review on an anonymous LB account so vendor's can't send you nit-picked product.
Nobody can hold you back from this, you are entitled to review whatever products you buy, especially considering the fact that you only plan on sharing via a private link.
As you can tell by the comments on this topic, many Biggaz are interested in video reviews and you also have the backing of the LB team aswell.
Good luck and if you ever need any help with the production side of things or anything at all just let me know!

Thank you. It’s happening, I’ve set up the YouTube account just setting up a little studio space. I’m also thinking to include microscope inspections, and pressing for concentrate quality and yield,
Super cool, I have always wanted to do this too! Would love to stay in the loop. will send PM.
I've not liked a lot of the weed from lb so I gave up and just order vapes mostly , could you reccomend a strong stardog/lemon haze please (pure stardog no mixes)
I would encourage online video reviews of the strain - it is really useful to get a rough idea of how something hits. Heck, small things like "this one has an unusual aroma" or "not the strongest, but smokes like a dream" are always good to learn.
The only thing I would advise against is naming the the seller and/or this website. I appreciate that weed might be perfectly legal where you live, but that isn't the case for everybody. We rely on this site staying a little off the beaten path.
If you want to specifically promote a strain or seller on here, text reviews are always greatly received. Dunno about others, but it is the first thing I look for when making a purchase. You could really help a seller out.

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.

I prefer Alan Bennett's classic quote in the history boys " History- it's one thing after a fucking other"!
A way oversimplified, and often incorrect way of looking at history.
Also used a lot by Nazi's and other far right types.
"If we are going to lay strategies to confront the nonstate threats of the world we live in, we must first banish the mirages that prevent us from seeing and understanding both the strengths and the weaknesses of those threats accurately. We might start by abandoning the pretense that military strength is a product of either “hard times” or “strong men.”"

The Royals Should Pay Slavery Reparations
if they embraced it that would be something
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

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
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, all other things being equal, you're better off than your black neighbour.
"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.
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.

Now the American Cat is busy licking itself the mice can play again. Ancient ethnic feuds, dictators jerking off with their strategy games, we've seen it all before; new order meet the old order.
It's got to make you wonder why we are still organised into these units called countries. What are they so uniquely good for besides war?

A nation is something a people can rally behind . It's a union of people against the powers that would destroy them . With the current threat from Globalist communism , the nation is more important than ever . If we want to keep some power for the people rather than give it all to the Globalist elite , we'd do well to rally behind our nations in this dangerous time .

The longest music piece in the world is being performed in the city of Halberstadt in Germany: John Cage's composition for organ ORGAN2/ASLSP - As SLow aS Possible - is resounding here in an extreme interpretation of 639 years, that means until the year 2640
And the classic four note motif from Shine On You Crazy Diamond by David Gilmour comes in about 124 years time.

Don't you just sodding hate it when you have a stinking cold and can't taste or smell your J. What's worse, one doesn't think, oh I'll leave it until im better saving some gear as well but you'll carry on skinning up, waving a lit J under your nose to see if your smell has come back....tell me no one hasnt done that before 😁
I think having a cold or the flu is the only time I ever give myself a tolerance break. You know you're over the worst when you can handle a spliff again.
my experience is that smoking adds days to sickness, edibles w a cbd component subtracts them.
What a disaster yes. In a good way makes your smoke last longer haha. But smelling your neibours whilst you cant smoke yours really hits home lol il probably go and get a cold now saying all this. Bless

It was Elton John's 150th birthday and I had nothing to wear...
did i hate him when he was still an organic? sure, but the rhythm of his new brain was spectacular and when he did 10 years as a centenarian for killi…
did i hate him when he was still an organic? sure, but the rhythm of his new brain was spectacular and when he did 10 years as a centenarian for killing lionel ritchie we all gave him props.
then suddenly i saw it, a corsett shaped like a pinball machine, i couldnt believe it the flippers were working dildos.
So what decided on designing a sequin outfit, after days and days of hard work I show up to his party. I then remembered that Elton John had an altered personality due to all of the children’s blood he drank in order to keep alive so long.
He looked at me, triggered from his past, seeing the sequins sparkling something triggers in his brain….
He starts to decompose in front of my eyes. In all his hate he remembered being alive sucked and started to disintegrate.
After watching him disintegrate I start realising it was all a dream…. I start coming around.
I see a sequin top on the floor, I am like “da fuck”, I roll over in bed to find Avid Merrion in his Elton John mask looking at me directly in the eyes and shouts “fuck off or i will bum you”

Can someone tell me why Americans think guns are the definition of freedom?
Americans are happy to devote decades of their lives to supporting an overseas war machine as they gobble up jingoistic bullshit in their media.
They are taxed and regulated as mush as socialist countries but get little benefits in return, all the while being spied on to a standard that would make the Gestapo proud.
They are fine with all of this damage to their liberty as long as they keep their guns, is this just some kind of penis fixation?

I don't expect many to understand, and it's not something you can relate to unless you've walked a similar path,but... during my traveling work days, I experienced more than once the need to carry a firearm.
permitted to carry concealed, allowed me the chance to go back home and see my family again.
you are entitled free speech and your freedom of views, just remember, the crime or bad folks don't follow ANY rules and could care less about your politics. take away the good man's right to protect himself, and become their next target, as security is just a word.
(understand that police have NO obigation to protect you or your family, they strictly uphold the law...)

Because freedom is only delivered through the end of a gun (unfortunately)
And if you don’t have a gun someone with a gun will take your freedom away
The only part of history you can guarantee is true freedom comes at the end of a sword/gun

i don't think the american colonies outgunned england and i'm sure that's not how it went down in india or in the 1990s in eastern europe.
freedom is obtained through will and persistence like a lot of things around this earth.
freedom is obtained through will and persistence like a lot of things around this earth.
This is it, no tyrannical regime, dictator, kings or queens taking the piss were ever overthrown through mediation and peaceful actions, fire meets fire literally.
I'll go with the penis fixation. I don't own a gun - don't want one - guns are for killing. It's the second amendment in the American Bible, er, "Bill of Rights". Funny thing is that the pro-life people are usually pro-gun. Just doesn't make sense.
Guns do not kill... the person using it KILLS... I use them to kill clay pigeons. and just imagine it's someone i hate. lol ;)
By that reasoning the murder rate in the likes of El Salvador, Honduras etc. is purely down to the types of people that live there and not to the availability of guns. Obviously incorrect. You need someone willing to kill AND a gun to shoot someone dead.
I am not black but I am a 6'5' 300+ pound white mail. when I get out of my car I have yet seen my public servent have his on his gun when he see's me. I have never been shot , but I have been scared you never know when They might get scared and shoot. I am always as helpful and curtice I can makke cause I want to live and pissing of armed cops is not a healthy way to live. When they start treating you like shit , remember it will you a lot more then it will him.
Not saying you're fat but it's interesting that fat white dudes are credible rappers and also eyed by the police like black dudes.
No one can grant anyone rights, unless we agree that they can. Plenty folks will tell you you're not free unless unless always unless. You are free if you say you are. And you're not if you're not (royal you, not you you, but yes, also you 😜). You can be in a prison cell and be totally free. You can be a rich fat white cunt with acres of land and be completely imprisoned. It's in the mind. Sure, there may well be folks who contest your freedom, tell you you're not free, tell you you must this and you mustn't that if you want your "rights" intact. Nonsense. There, that's my two penny's (or cents, since the topic started in the US) spent and I'm skint for the night.
They didn’t. Our rights are God given and they are inalienable. The Bill of Rights protects them, or at least that’s how it’s supposed to work.
I’m not trying to start something here but I really want to understand how these rights are God given. Can you explain?
That’s ok. We are born free and we are born with certain God given rights, which are inalienable. This is just the way it is, like having a right to clean drinking water. We have the right to protect ourselves and our property. In the UK we still have the right to bear arms, but it has been hidden from us using legislation and obfuscation. Most people don’t understand that they are supposed to be free, so they put up with buffoons and paedo Freemasons dictating what they can and can’t do. This is one of the reasons why we pay income tax, which is unlawful but not illegal. The law is simple: No loss, no harm, no injury, no fraud.
Straw man stuff really opened my mind a good decade ago. The financial system is a good place to begin ones journey back into realising one was always free and one just didn't know it. Look at me, getting all queenly with the "ones". Did you say freemasons? 😉
Thanks for the response Camber I appreciate it but I’m still struggling with the God given bit. It’s not as if Moses came down from the mountain with a commandment saying Americans can have AR15s. I don’t mean to sound flippant I just don’t understand it
That’s ok, you’re not coming across as flippant.
“God given” is simply a term. It applies to atheists as well. Try to understand what it means to be born a free man. Eg: Monetisation of another man’s labour, without his consent, is slavery and it is unlawful. So why do we pay income tax? Did you consent to this?
The Founding Fathers were Christians, hence ‘God given’ Replace ‘God given’ with ‘pre-existing’

It was a rural place and hunting was very common. If you start from that perspective and then think of the government coming in and taking the guns away you start to understand.
Not being American but my take on it is simply history, god made men Samuel Colt made all men equal… You can hunt so can provide for yourself and your family, you can defend yourself and your family from threats, and I guess Homer said it best with ‘If You Don't Have A Gun, The King Of England Can Just Walk In Here And Shove You Around’ And for Americans it was true, it’s the reason they were free, the gun. I think the vast majority of people would agree if there were NO guns then the world would be a better place, BUT if bad guys, police, army have guns and you don’t then you’re simply powerless to anyones will. So if they have guns yeah I also want a gun.
I could be wrong but I’m sure the law to carry guns came into action as to kill Indians as white man was expanding in America.?
It’s a national identity! They feel they wouldn’t be Americans without the ability to kill somebody instantly.
1. The Wild West is recent history in a young nation and was really really wild. Ditto the Civil War.

The right to bear arms is to shoot the British, not the Indians. The theory is if everyone has guns, the government can't be oppressive and tyrannical. In practice, however, you just end up with gut-shot schoolkids. Guns are fun though tbf
They need their guns lots of wild animals running about on two legs out their nuts on prescription drugs with guns.

It might be useful to differentiate the American people and American foreign policy. It seems you have conflated the two, whereas looking at the American people and domestic policy might yield better results. Guns are completely illegal in China and as we all know, China is one of the most liberated places to live on the planet! The second amendment in the US was created to provide a constitutional check on congressional power was as an auxiliary right, supporting the natural rights of self-defense and resistance to oppression. My family live in the USA and right now, gun ownership is anything from a penis fixation, it's security and peace of mind. I would rather get shot than stabbed any day of the week. Knife crime is equally as concerning in my book.
I'm hoping that you picked up the sarcasm in my 'China is liberated' comment. Reading it back, it doesn't come across too clearly.
hear ya my friend. thought i was doing the same ;) with your comment. i read it both ways (with/without sarcasm) I wouldn't criticise either. just own my private thoughts lol. stay as safe as this "Pandemic" will let you. Gaz
No, the founding fathers recognised the likely leadership America was likely to get would be those psychopaths you identify - a neolib psychopathic war machine at the helm. Without the right to bear arms, the citizens of the US would be unable to defend themselves against these psychos in control. Have you not noticed that the MSM (totally controlled by the same psychos) is relentlessly pushing for "gun control" - can you not see their agenda here? To disarm the citizens of the US would be to disarm all potential opposition to these globalist psychopaths in their pursuit of a NWO, hence the relentless media to demonize gun ownership. Are you are aware that you are statistically more likely to die from an unprovoked knife wound in London than you are to die from an "unprovoked" gun shooting in the US?

capitalism is an economic system, and an excellent one at that. it is not, however, a political, philosophical or ethical system. adam smith himself pointed out that without temper from (for him, christian) ethics it would become monstrous. obviously, nobody believes any of that hypocritical, puerile (christian) shite anymore, but that is what needs replacing - the moral component. hard right ideologues that think the market knows best, and that money is some sort of god to be worshipped are stupid shits, and have been shown to be. they have fucked up everything they have touched and only crazy frightened old people don't see that. do not forget, though that socialists have not just fucked up everything they have touched, they have murdered, oppressed and starved people in ways that ghengis khan would have been ashamed of. capitalism will work fine once we all realise that being richer than everyone else is a mug's game and does not make you happy. we all just need to get by and look after each other, and i think we'll find that if that's what we want to use it for, capitalism's actually pretty good for purpose. this is all happening anyway, you don't need to do anything. how much shit gets fucked up in the meantime by greedy stupid dickheads who think enumerated economic success is any measure of anything other than what a selfish worthless shit you're prepared to be, or that it will ever make anyone actually happy, well, we'll see. in the meantime, live your life and stop trying to find something easy to blame for what's wrong with it. politicians will not save us, maybe if we stop asking them to they'll go back to doing their actual jobs (running the civil service, justice system and defence) and stop fucking everything up instead. maybe if we all stop glorifying the wealthy and powerful, they'll stop even being arsed to be wealthy and powerful (i mean, it looks like a fucking nightmare to me - why the fuck would you bother if you weren't being egged on the whole time and told that it's the only way anyone matters) and we can all just get on with looking out for each other and fostering the sorts of communities that actually do make people happy. it won't happen overnight, and it won't fix everything, but it won't happen at all if we keep expecting miracles and keep trying to tear down everything that lets us live better than people ever have. capitalism does not suck, it where all of our prosperity and freedom comes from, it is why we are not living in the squalor, violence and oppression of the middle ages any more - stop trying to tear it down, just live better, take moral responsibilty for your own life and we will all have the moral high ground to shame people who accumulate wealth and power beyond what is healthy. eventually. in about 4026. if we do not all burn or starve first. there isn't really an alternative, though... and, i mean you can order weed on the fucking internet these days!!! whaddya want out of life???
"and, i mean you can order weed on the fucking internet these days!!! whaddya want out of life??" yeah exactly wtf is wrong with people lol
Capitalism inherently involves exploiting others for profit. Adding moral considerations alone doesn’t address this fundamental issue. Such changes would transform the system into something that isn’t capitalism.
Feudalism is many times older than capitalism, and ordained by God. Still fell like a sack of shit.
It'll have a different name and iconography but communism still the only alternative. Just no leaders, no parties, no states, max automation.

Start building guillotine napping stations for all billionaires to have a nice lil lay down, acquire and distribute the hoarded resources. Job done. EDIT: to highlight i am being deliberately OTT btw n not literally advocating mass execution. but it does feel like this whole system needs an overhaul, crazy how much the top 1% has hoarded compared to the rest of the world 🤷♂️ how is that just?
"distribute the hoarded resources" exactly, it really is wealth hoarding. Just make wealth cap, a big one $300M... How many fucking yachts do you need, how many houses...etc. Once your wonderful business acumen took you to cap level you get a medal, respect and you go onto super wall of best humans ie elite celebrities and your additional profits get distributed to less fortunate who we're not lucky to be born smart or healthy or rich or whatever.. It's just life lottery most the time nothing to do with your efforts.. Your success can not be justified.. You don't choose your genes... Is there really good argument against wealth cap?
not much of the rich's wealth is in luxury items. it's mostly capital for production.
We need to try to start standing up for what is right and see through what the political elites are implementing all over Europe.
Between the Bilderberg group and the likes of George Soros who funds all the chaos and gets very rich from the volatility that is creates in the markets.
Every time there is a major problem all the government does is rush in new laws to clamp us down even more, they are not interested in harmony it does not fit there narrative they like to divide and conquer and keep us in small groups as we are easier to control.
The Catholic church is taking it up the Gary glitter also along with the Church of England who are just as bad all whilst the UN seems to be building an army in Europe.
This is a by proxy war we are in and it is only going to get worse from here the only way we can stop this is by all standing together as humans and taking on this tyranny.
There are people being found frozen to death in cars in the UK at the moment , big groups of people living in tents in the woods right now ffs!!.
There is an evil agenda at play that these sick inbreed elites are trying to hide from us all and unless we all stand together we are all going to get screwed even more.
We would rather watch sky sports and fuck about on FB and Insta than get off out backsides and do what is right.
The whole thing stinks and needs to be called out and stop calling people racist for pointing out the truth.

Cops are always playing you out, especially when they are acting casual or friendly.

Stay safe biggas!

Calling the cops when you’re stoned because you find your grinder is suddenly empty….not the brightest star in the sky bless her…

The first time I heard this I was in awe. I can still listen to this on loop while skinning up and/or smoking. The skill is out of this world.

So, who's heard of Kent? If you have then you're very into indie rock and realised that it didn't die in the early '00s, it just moved to Scandinavia, or, you're Scandinavian. They released 2 albums in both English and in Swedish out of the 10 or so in their catalogue. The talent to carry that off is beyond my comprehension. They filled stadiums and arenas, were of the highest quality of musicianship of anyone practicing their craft, and hardly anyone knows who they are.

And the same song in Swedish. The lyrics of the English version are nothing like the English translation of the Swedish version for most of their tracks.

buying crypto privately
1 - stay away from major exchanges like coinbase, they share the most data with the most other people
2 - an exchange outside your country is better than an exchange in your country.
3 - peer to peer exchanges are better than centralized exchanges but data saved by the exchange is within the reach of government authorities.
4 - bitcoin atms often only require a telephone number

Yeah this… Seriously stay away from Coinbase… literally the Govs bitch… Trackong fucking everything, Binance will comply eventually they’ll have to but I don’t think they’ll make it easy like Coinbase did. Coinbase seriously is the anti thesis of crypto.
Up to now have had no issue with coin base, but noticed there seems to be limit on how much btc I can buy each time…more fees….so what are the best alternatives to coin base….
Our post here shows you how to purchase bitcoin without KYC or limits 😊

An independent wallet is essential to privacy. Transfer your coins from the exchange to an onboard wallet like exodus or an online wallet like blokchcain.com
yes, exchanges that hold your bitcoins with your identity are part of the global banking system and ultimately control both your funds and data.
you can go even further by mixing your coins so an analysis can not trace them, coinjoin does this.

This is true but its noteworthy that some exchanges are bigger rats than others. HTX, KuCoin and MEXC are a bit less cheesy.
Local coin swap is pretty good, its P2P and vendors often don't require any ID verification from you which is nice
Interesting thread something i’ve been thinking about lately is i know obviously your bank can only see that you’ve made a transaction to a crypto exchange they don’t know what your paying for etc so suppose that side is pretty discreet.
The part that concerns me is when when you complete a transaction to LB paybis provides you with a receipt at the end which clearly states that the information contained in the receipt is publicly available on the blockchain, I’ve had a detailed look through it and its mostly number and letters etc but i’m just wondering if any information in the receipt can be tracked back to LB in any way?
Bearing in mind i pay directly and don't use any internediatory wallet. I haven’t had any issues so far or payments being blocked.

Worst Star Trek Series of All Time?
started topic
+ 6 more
I loved the opener with Klingons on Earth but even then it kept getting dumber with that poor man's Kirk routine from this guy. It seems like he belongs in an old Disney movie playing off a car.
Discovery by a long way for me. It just didn’t feel like Star Trek. Rewatched all of Enterprise recently and it was way better than I remembered.
Really? The 2nd season was annoying as any grade school social propaganda but I thought the 1st season was right up there near the best Trek.
I’m sure I’ll rewatch it in a couple of years and have a fresh perspective. I just couldn’t handle ( forgive me if I’m taking Star Trek too seriously ? )the fact that, fundamentally Star Fleet is military, yes? How did Tilly make it onto a military vessel? Even Reg Berkeley for all his foibles had a semblance of respect for the fact he was on a military mission. I love Joss Whedon’s dialogue and sass but he’s an inappropriate inspiration for Star Trek characters.
A Trekker with some chops, welcome aboard sir. How would you rank Saru? I thought he was better than Data and right under Spock until they destroyed his character in the 2nd season.
saru should be carrying more of the woke issues (he's got several dimensions to work with) and let the humans stop being caricatures.
Can you remember when Enterprise was on channel 4 on a Sunday and if there was a two part one, they would show part one and forget to put part two on the week after!
totally agree. I watched part of discovery with my flatmate who hasn't seen any other trek series, she loves it and i feel nothing for it. I feel like it was made to bring in new fans
might try re watching enterprise but i don't have much hope for that either.

For me it has to be Enterprise. Even the theme music felt wrong to me. It felt like the cast never really jelled and as a result the whole thing feels flat and disappointing.
Maybe its time to consider re-watching Enterprise? Perhaps it will age like a fine wine! ?
I'm waiting for this thread to descend into a Star Trek vs. Star Wars debate, but we all know there is only one winner....
Live long and prosper ?

No. Don’t bother. It’s dreadfully noughties. Faux jeopardy and bad acting galore. Thank god Firefly came along when it did
Picard. It breaks my heart to say it, but what a huge disappointment. Patrick Stewart was wasted on that tripe.
Discovery has to be a close second it's not terrible but it's not really Trek.

That's cheating but hell yes!
Not sure how old this thread is but what are my fellow biggie Trekkies thinking about ‘Strange new worlds’? On Paramount +
Enjoyed voyager except for Tom Paris and his boring holodeck programme. Any episode in which he was the main character were crap but just my opinion !
the latest movies, running the same plot as the wrath of khan but instead of being in their mid 50s...which was the point of the plot...they were like 11..and it made zero sense...see now spock isnt a vulcan at all in his behaviour, he shouts and looses it like a moron...star trek is written by retarded 9 year olds now...like most hollywood crap
I kinda loved them it was nice to see a real budget at work, actually saw the 1st one in 4d.
I was going to say DS9 but I actually enjoy the later seasons. The original show was so dated I couldn’t bother to watch it. Enterprise was dire but short lived. Honestly I don’t think trek has bad series... the new films on the other hand ???

This is interesting, he says that reality is only a thin GUI for the actual universe.
