If this is the case where does it end? Social media isn't wearing off, it's becoming more essential for school, work, commerce, social, entertainment; it's not so easy to escape the trip.

society is just having a bad trip
the world is in splintering mode with people turning against each other over race, religion and politics at a rate that is still accelerating. how did we get to a point where nearly everyone on earth can feel this?
traditional media blames social media, arguing that the unifying force of a couple of news outlets kept us all on the same page. as self serving as that is i think they hit the right vein - only it goes much deeper.
a bad trip is the dark contrast to the self awareness of a good trip and if you've ever had one you know how alienating it can be. the existential madness you are experiencing is difficult to share with anyone, even your old rational self.
a different layer of consciousness emerges so profound the basic assumptions of your existence are called into question: can i stop breathing? is what im seeing real? who am i, really? every sensory input is subject to this new, unwelcome perspective. awareness of the mess you are in can be terrifying and a seemingly inescapable loop defines your bad trip.
the alternate reality offered by social media effects brain chemistry in a more sustainable manner, reaching the baser emotions through the classic plot devices of conflict and anticipation. though less penetrating than psychedelics, social media is far more addictive, with hours spent in its reality every day.
the collection of billions of brains that we call society is now wired into a network completely changing our view of reality. the algorithms that reinforce our most manipulable feelings form the queasy onset of this mutual trip.
as society enters the limbo between old and new realities it experiences the same panic, dissolution and alienation of the bad psychedelic trip. we don't know what to believe and fear rules our actions.
it seems we were better off before we looked into ourselves too deeply but there is no shaking this off. we can't go back to what we thought was rationality.

like any bad trip it doesn't last forever. although we can't go for a walk outside or sleep this off we can talk each other down.
once you are aware of bad trips they lose much of their power over you.

well we can walk outside every now and then by going offline but i agree with your point. we are getting used to social media and its losing its power to some extent.
i also think a new media will displace it faster than any previous displacement, just because of the pace of evolution.

Honestly I believe it’s all part of a bigger plan.
Keep the masses at war with each other so we don’t unite and realise we’ve been fucked in the ass all this time and say we’ve had enough.
They want to keep us from joining forces, they prefer us snarling at our neighbours
It’s perpetuated by the media who are owned by the very people pushing these agendas

I believe the same , and those who are behind this are depending on all the stupid retards you see on the streets and the outcome its what we see today. Good people choose to stay silent instead , if we see wrong we don't speak up anymore.

Worst Star Trek Series of All Time?
The cartoons
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.

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.

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
That's cheating but hell yes!
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 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 ???
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 !
Hi Biggas. We have heard it said many times on here that reputation is EVERYTHING. When deciding to make a purchase, positive reviews are perhaps the main driver in that decision making process. We are surprised that the reviews - which are anonymous - are open to abuse, either targetted perhaps from rival vendors, or just from disgruntled individuals. We were very proud of our review score which was close to the best on here, until a few days ago we received a 1/10 score from someone who made the comment "Never received it so, cant speak for its quality". This 1/10 scoring had the effect of reducing our aggregate from like 9.8 or 9.9/10 to 9.4/10. If the person who posted that score had been arsed to contact us first before posting a review he would have learned that we offer a 100% replacement service for lost packages. Not sure if there is any way of changing reviews, but if the person is reading this contact us and we will honour our promise, even if the review can't be changed. It strikes us that the system is open to abuse, particularly - as we mentioned above - from rival vendors low scoring others product. Those with more experience here, please tell us our concerns are misplaced, if indeed that is the case. Cheers. MrB4Real.
It sounds like a disgruntled competitor, it will always happen on here, especially to new vendors.
I have had 2 lots of the Thai and sent some to some old stoner buddies of mine that I now live quite a distance from, we were all very impressed. It yook us back to scummy bedrooms in the late 80's!
Basically ignore the review and carry on.

Spurious 1/10's are inevitable I'm afraid. The borgs won't do anything about it so the best you can hope for is that if it is genuine (and that's a big if) the customer reads this thread and gets in contact. They do have the ability to edit their review for quite a while after it's been made so there's a chance that it could be rectified... but i wouldn't hold your breath.
You're number 3 on the items list buddy, I'd count your blessings on that one. Countless vendors have been unable to get on the items list at all, least of all at number 3.
Like I say, dodgy 1/10's are par for the course on here, you'll get back above 9.6/10 soon enough and that's all that really matters.
All the best.
Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

Wear it like a badge of honour mate. Every vendor that has settled in here and built a decent trade gets targeted at some stage by a small cabal of idiots. Regular buyers know this and ignore it.
They target Biggas who post regularly and have a cute face like me too-notice garethgates on this topic who has many alt.accounts. Same old same old.🥱
I’ll be back for another hit of yours soon, it’s excellent 👍😻

Do not worry about this my friend. I absolutely pride myself on the cannabis I sell and do the best I can every day. I made the silly mistake of sending out orders to anonymous accounts and brand new accounts also. We got the 1/10 “never received item” also. Then a few other terrible scores. So I had to make the decision to only sell to reputable buyers which is a dam shame for new comers to LB but it’s not worth the risks. The alt accounts, vendors attacking vendors and just plain old trolls are real so stay strong but watch who you are sending orders too. Oh and I’ve just placed an order for some Thai buddy. Hoping it takes me back to the 90s. Keep up the good work and keep moving forward. Regards, GH
I think the most elegant way to handle this, whether you are a seller or the borgs is to apply the rule of averages. You raise a shit ton of externalities once reviews are open to scrutiny by an authority. Hang in there and natural law (the best kind of law) will protect you.
More than likely a rival trying to sabotage your ratings
As a buyer I personally disregard a 1/10 rating, I tend to look for the 5-6-7/10 ratings because they are usually a genuine gripe about something

Hi mrb4real
I saw the 1/10 review upon placing my second order with you.
I wouldn't worry about it too much, we landrace lovers tend to be a discerning bunch comparing subtle differences between red string vs gold string, subtle variations in taste/smell and of course quality of the stone.
Given that your laotian weed is good AND cheap we will keep coming.
At least I know I will :-)

Capitalism is unfolding exactly as Karl Marx predicted
0% interest rates, meme stocks, puts and calls going up simultaneously, sure looks like an end game scenario.

My postman is obviously a stoner, just the way he carries the back all slung back on his shoulder gives it away but he also looks like Wayne (or Garth I can't remember which one is which). I keep thinking I should offer him a bowl of the good shit but he delivers so much weed to me I think I'd be putting him in a bad position.
You got me.
