Bryce Mitchell, Co-Main event this Sat night 23rd Sep. vs Dan Ige. UFC Fight Night: Fiziev vs Gamrot.
Main card starts midnight uk time.

👊❤️

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

prostitutes, holy men, this story is starting to sound like the dawn of human civilisation

dawn, dusk, whatever

The Ipriest, now in beta for a limited number of industry players, is ready to fill you in on exactly this!

why team with when you can be one?

You're thinking too much about the hardware. It's software that will end us

Ancient books are fun!

👊❤️

Hehe…hindu kush working it’s stuff there👍🔥❤️

For my tuppence worth, I believe our consciousness of self is our only constant…it might be a weird overloaded neural dump (as some of brilliance believe) that has never got close to being understood, but it’s…us…😍

Hi Julieh

From a purely scientifc perspective your cell regenerate but your DNA stays the same except that it tends to degrade overtime.

Exposure to carcinogen, chemicals, radiation and everything else (drugs?) can trigger mutations in your DNA as well.

From discussions with researchers the social and wider environment also induce mutations in individual.

From a philosophical, mysticla or religious perspective there are questions of whether there is such a thing as ego (Buddhism), Soul,etc.

I guess that a interesting place where science and philosohy/spirituality meet is the nature of consciousness: is it a quantum process given that enuronal activity involves particles such as electrons etc.

Scientists such as Roger Penrose have pondered this subject and I hope that in an hypothetical future (or another sentient species somewhere else in the current Universe) will be able to attain syncretic knowledge fusing spiritual and scientific approaches.

Cheers

what a perfect comment to come across ... lovely brain food

Hi Julieh

Thanks.

That the scifi nerd and the optimist in me :-)

Looking at the state of the planet right now I doubt mankind will get there though...

Cheers

Not with the right crypto producer!

I'm completely different to who I used to be. For me it seems to come down to life experiences and the company we keep. I sometimes wish I could go back to being the old me, but it would only lead to unhappiness.

Theseus's ship,anyone??

can i pay in installments?

We are what we carry and we were what we left behind. What will be will be. Rinse and repeat.

Physically, changes in environmental conditions will change us - to what extent, I don't know but extremes would be exposure to poisons or freezing temperatures. There's also temporary resets, I call them, where one could end up in situations which are new to us and we employ the mode which is the simplest at the time. Could just be a one off social event or a regular switch, like sliding into the persona of your work self, or going into holiday mode for a couple of weeks.

Our true selves, higher consciousness or whatever, must constantly evolve to keep up with any physical & biological changes whether temporary or not, I'd have thought.

Also, if we change our thinking, consciously or not, then we have the opportunity to see ourselves from a different perspective.

This altered viewpoint will impact our divine self accordingly. We should aim to implement beneficial changes which will ultimately align our earthly & spiritual selves with our true purpose and then we get to fck off somewhere an awful lot better than this hellish shit fest of an existence.

I probably could have answered this better if I was stoned tbh

it's a great comment to read while stoned :)

One could consider whether our body is us or ours?

If it belongs to me then can it be me or is it mine?

Does the same apply to the ego?

🤔

Nothing transmigrates from one moment to the next

Good stoned topic! I think the answer is yes and no, I’m a very different person to who I once was, I’ve grownm, matured, my views have changed and so has the world.. a lot! But at the same time I am still me a 5 and 15 feel like I’ve been growing into the person I was meant to be all along if that makes sense. It’s more than just life experience as two people can have exactly the same experiences and be very different genetics, personality and ultimately who we want to be play a big roll. Just my 2 pence ✌️

This has intrigued me. Are you saying that each moment is a separate reality from the moments preceding and following? How long is a moment? What about any momentos one may have acquired? They are a physical reminder of a moment but which moment would we associate with that memento when it triggers a memory by its very existence?

The idea that we are one self is not widely accepted by psychologists any more... So no.

The Biscoff, creeps into a trippy shroom kinda stone, if anyone else has partaken do speak up! Gonna roll the cola now.
The cola looks lovely, as i was about to spark it i realize i'm still getting higher from the Biscoff, i dad a deja vu type moment thinking if i'd dreamed this moment as i was about to spark up the cola , ..smoking now.
Terps of cocacola. High sativa presence, again like the Biscoff many many terps going on.
Fizzy cocacola with a little lime, quite active stone, brough me back from my Biscoff stone i'm not kidding, for active folks the cola is fantastic, for me i prefer the biscoff but appreciate the power cola must have to bring me out that stone.
Think i'll make a coffee now.😁
I've pink runtz vape but i'm way too happy, way too destroyed to partake right now.
If any vendors are reading i've this:
make a tip option on your page,
and offer sat shipping if you already don't,
and thanks so much for your work!
The cola is a creeper too, beware, couch lock will follow very soon after first hit of energy it gives.

always amazed at how many great minds especially writers were drunks. if only cannabis culture prevailed who knows where we would be today

Charles Bukowski being one!

Totally agree.

100% Alcohol can wreck lives, I've been witness to that first hand. Peace, love and Cannabis :-)

Totally agree 💖

Yaassss kweeeeen! (Suuuuch a huge fan of drag race / drag in general.... makes me so happy!!)

I find certain strains great for creativity- especially blue cheese, wedding cake and fat banana! It’s weird though... I am a reasonably creative person but I have ADHD and cognitive dyslexia, so I have tonnes of ideas flitting in and out of my head all the time, but rarely write them down because I’m doing doing like 20 things. Weed seems to slow things down enough for me to focus on one idea so I can work on it.
Alcohol just gives me a huge red bumpy rash on my face and elbows (weird I know), makes me feel ill instantly, and then I just fall asleep.
BORING

My experience: neither makes me come up with better ideas, just more of them.
On balance most my drunk/high ideas are dumb. But occasionally they’re amazing, things I’d probably not thought of otherwise. I think I get more good/creative ideas with weed.

But I think the disparity comes from the real difference—kinds of connections I make. Weed seems to expand the world and I make new connections between different things(e.g. my mom went deaf, but if she was born death would she still think in english?).

Alcohol is more about unfiltered id and forgetting about consequences(could I stick my dick in the vacuum hole?).

Both ideas are kinda dumb but the weed idea (for me) at least made think about what my mom’s life is like day to day. The alcohol idea just made me think about how I was going to explain this to a doctor.

Inevitably anything you do on drink ends up with you either feeling embarrsed or in some cases, ashamed the next day lol. The drunker you are the worse decisions you make and stupidity overtakes any creativity. On the other hand on weed, sometimes i can be too wasted, locked to the couch to do anything, but, if im in he middle of something that requires tunnel vision type focus, and i have the right weed, i have had some very productive days/ late nights on the weed...im a coder by the way

I’m with this 100% although I think some of the shame and embarrassment following a drinking session is chemically exacerbated. I’ve had almost debilitating anxiety hungover (I’m a pretty anxious guy anyway) over the littlest things sometimes.

Although not a coder in its purest sense, my job requires me to solve technical problems on a wide range of systems, platforms and languages (i.e trawling Stack Overflow) and I find that cannabis absolutely helps with my understanding of more complex issues which seem out of reach sober.

I don’t know if there’s something going on with the clever part of my brain doing it’s work or just the tuning out of the days noise that helps but time and again a stoned me trumps my sober self in certain situations.

Note that the clever part of my brain has never shown itself on drink……

most of the shame is the beast you bought home the night before XDJ/k

Agreed.

I fully agree. Its your will at the end that matters.

i think this really depends on the vacuum hole

100% agree, Alcohol has only even damaged lives, dampens your conscisous and numbs. Psychedelics on the other hand, opens your mind, connects us with the universe and encourages us to work on ourselves for the better. Our LSD and weed journeys have only ever encouraged us to open our hearts and mind, highlighing our common values and a drive to work together for a better world :-)

Love, connection and Peace to all our brothers, sisters and all sentient beings ❤️

Not to go about the grain as I like both. I am about 300% more productive making music drunk, compared to stoned. But then the music is about 300% more enjoyable stoned afterwards.

But I cannot make shit if I'm stoned. At all. So yeah, I disagree. Good stuff though.

Ignore this if you’ve already tried it, but have you tried some of the stronger sativa strains? They can make you super productive and creative at the same time. My faves for this are blue cheese and wedding cake. I haven’t tried loads of strains but of the ones I have tried- these seem to work best (for me anyway!) Happy New Yurrr

agree with the blue cheese (haven't had any in time) also a grapefruit strain i used to get but my old dealer never used to tell you the proper strain it was always just grapfruit or blue berry :/

Speaking for myself. Cannabinoids and ethanol can achieve more psychedelic effects together than each on their own. It's truly amazing, how trippy it can get, as far as not too much alcohol is taken. Ideally have a beer or little wine, but no shots.

Shorts rather than shots….finest tequila (100% agave) sipped with weed takes me to a very good place😻🤩

nolo contendere

Mike Skinner of the Streets said it best ;)

WeedStar Loves you x

Weed for creativity, relaxation and mind expansion.. Alcohol for social interaction, lose shyness and communication

Stay happy Stay high 😎

I’m sure this is an old post but I’ll chip in anyway-

I smoke to get stoned but I usually don’t drink to get drunk and I think that’s the difference. Drinking great quality booze in reasonable quantities with convivial company can easily be more creative than some of the daft bolloxsh I come out with when I’m high 😂

With a nice joint I can lose myself for hours playing guitar, 3 pints+ and I'm no use to man or beast

Weed works better

Depends innit.

If I’m playing bass in my band then alcohol all the way. Same with games like pool.

Can’t play either for shit when I’m stoned. Totally overthink it and not for the better.

But fuck being drunk. I hate being drunk. It’s not creative. Even though it helps with the physical act of getting through the fear of playing in front of people, so kinda is. 🤷‍♂️

Since i start smoking and found out about LB instead of the cops knocking the door i have the RM guy who also smiles at me. Alchool is out of my life now. Smoking for me works for almost everything creativity , studying, chilling and going to sleep.

alcohol 100% is better for my creatvity. weed is better for pretty much everything else, but all it ever does it numb me.

Alcohol (beer) when playing slots. Skunk as soon as i wake up if one has some x

read a few of your posts - alcohol for writing is my pref And weed for connecting with the ancient ancestors, i love doing that

Ah, the battle of creativity: Weed vs Alcohol! Let's dive into this humorous showdown and explore their effects on our imaginative powers.

Picture yourself with a bottle of alcohol in one hand and a joint in the other. Now, let's see how these two contenders fare in the realm of creativity.

In the red corner, we have Alcohol! Ah, alcohol, the liquid courage that can turn any karaoke night into a memorable disaster. With alcohol, your creative juices might flow like a babbling brook, but beware! As you take more sips, your inhibitions get tossed out the window, and your brilliant ideas start sounding like they were concocted by a sleep-deprived squirrel. Suddenly, you find yourself convinced that creating a masterpiece is as simple as slapping paint on a canvas with your face. Oh, the grand illusions alcohol can bring!

And in the green corner, we have Weed! Ah, the herb of inspiration, the philosopher's puff. Weed takes you on a wild ride, where mundane objects transform into extraordinary wonders. Colors become brighter, and your imagination sets sail on a cloud of fluffy thoughts. Suddenly, you find yourself engrossed in a deep conversation with a tree, discussing the mysteries of the universe, or sketching masterpieces that you'll definitely finish... tomorrow. Yes, weed may lead you down a path filled with endless possibilities, but completing your creative endeavors can sometimes become as probable as winning the lottery with a ticket made of cheese.

Now, both contenders have their pros and cons when it comes to creativity. Alcohol might give you the audacity to explore new ideas, but be prepared for your masterpiece to look like a finger painting done by a tipsy toddler. Weed, on the other hand, may open the doors of perception, but don't be surprised if you find yourself reorganizing your sock drawer instead of finishing that groundbreaking novel.

So, who wins the creativity showdown? Well, my friend, that's for you to decide. Whether you choose to sip a cocktail or light up a joint, remember that true creativity comes from within, and sometimes the most brilliant ideas can arise from the most unexpected places – like that half-eaten burrito you forgot in the fridge. So, keep those creative gears turning, have a good laugh, and embrace the quirkiness that makes you unique!

Books and art done it first ;0

Huge fucking smoke loud, that's your answer.

bombs and weed don't go. accidents would happen. such soldiers may become one-armed bandits.

wrong target population.

get the government,
bank and media leaders on weed instead of coke and the world would change overnight. there'd be no need for poor men to threaten their lives for money and "freedom".

cocaine is the drug that threatens society the most and is most normalised. even daily mail readers laugh about blow and get all paranoid about weed.

a lil mdma in the water wouldn't go amiss either ;)

Didn't the Ismailites try this - Hassan I Sabah and co? - a ruthless and effective violent force - and stoned out of their gourds. From them we get the term Hashashin or Assassin

you right bigga, i found this hard to believe

Don’t they already have weed? They sell it to us and use the money to buy guns. Erk.

That's a good idea. Especially if its strong stuff and they would need a good unlimited supply......
I grew up on Germany as my Dad was in the forces there during the cold War. The American forces personnel used to have a smoke to help relieve stress. They got it very very cheaply sort of legitimately as it was shipped to the them (not sure from where), but America shipped out whiskey and beer free of charge to the American troops .

Ali G In da house style?

As long as you dont give anyone the choice... Build huge bonfires in warehouses and tell the locals attendance is compulsory

If we are in a sim. then the rules are already set. the strategy is to learn.

what if i told you..

If by game strategy you mean the meaning of life. Then the meaning is to find your meaning by exploration of yourself and the matter around you.

Complete the escape out of this sim code ritual that ancients used to do so the soul would not return back to this sim but yet a better one.

To gain knowledge or maybe its just a game you gotta figure out how to play to get to the next level?
A simulation of a simulation suggests to me that maybe something went wrong in the past or maybe its just a soul trap. Too many avenues of thought lol

This is our favourite teacher on the subject - Gregg Braden

If we are in a sim. then the rules are already set. the strategy is to learn.

ill only upvote once but this does bear repeating :)

Mince, neeps, tatties and doughballs. All homemade and British grown/raised.

Real Scottish cuisine. (war rations 😂)

Sounds delicious 😋

bacon sandwich with brown sauce and a coffee

Tasty!💚

Homemade beef stroganoff mixed through Garofalo (a pasta brand worth the premium) pappardelle. Had a fish finger sandwich for lunch.

Very nice Rux! I will take a look at that brand. Can’t beat a fish finger sarnie either!

They do really long spaghetti wrapped in purple/blue paper. I have an enormous stash. It's so choice.

Sorry to be that person but in the header you said Tea?

You changed it to the correct terminology in the body of the text.

Just to clarify

Lunch is not dinner and dinner is not lunch. It’s lunch eaten at “lunch Time”

Tea is not dinner and dinner is not tea. Guess what lol ……..

That aside. Only the 2nd best menu related question.

I knew this was coming paha!

For me tea and dinner are the same thing, I’m not sure what it is for others but I’m aware there are regional differences on such a sensitive subject🤣

It’s like the the whole bread cake, roll, bap, cob debate again!

Everyone knows it is called a cob!😉

EE x

That, Sir, is surely a roll!

Ha ha ha I know

Stoned and board is a bad combo at that time lol 😂

And it’s a roll (just saying) lol 😂

I have baps

Is not 'dinner' the main meal of the day? My ex moved to Manchester years ago and had to constantly ask roughly what time of day people were planning on when meeting up for 'dinner'.

I rarely eat much early in the day so my late meal (as described above) is dinner. Technically it could be supper, but I'm not getting into that sub classification.

Not sure about main that’s up to the individual but I would agree but the main point is evening ha ha ha

Technically supper is traditionally served prior retiring a for the evening 🥱

FYI

Supper if we are all truthful is reading the fridge and cupboards because your munchied out ya tits lol 😂 just don’t mix up the chocolate with ElevatedEats chocolate or sweet goods when preparing supper

I presume he is Anglo and refers to supper as tea/dinner.

To me dinner/lunch is eaten midday.

Supper/tea is eaten in the evening.

Ah well we are all on this island together ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Think you might be right Budzinho 🧐

Lunch is eaten midday. Agreed ✅

Dinner is eaten in the evening.

All in agreement? good 👍 lol

Lunch?! Naa in north of England it’s breakfast, dinner and chippy tea 😎

Oh here he comes 🙄 how you doing man. Hope your good and had a nice dinner this evening. One thing we are in agreement is that there are a few good chippy’s to have your dinner at in the evening

Tell me about it. Grinds my gears 😡 lol 😆

Thinking about moving back up the rod because if it. All I ever hear. Dinner this and tea that ha ha

Really good mate, almost two months of necessary Tbreak and biggy break but I m back 😄

Like the renegade master

Glad your back man and I bet that first one was banging for ya 💨💨💨

No dinner (not the pronunciation we'd use) is eaten midday 😂.

However I'd understand you boys regardless.

This is the way.

Indeed it is.

Glad we are all in agreement 👌

Well you say we are all in agreement, but why has nobody mentioned High Tea?….🧐

Wouldn't that be redundant?

There is no long term data so I would say follow your spidey sense, what's the downside?

Thats why people have low temp dabs, dabbing at high temperatures causes toxic smoke thats cancerous

I like to dab as a healthier alternative to smoking (its vaping without the vaporizer) so no burning plant material to inhale X

Ecoils should come standard

People believe the holy temp is 710, it is in carcinogenic cases.
Anything over 700 is harmful, burns it to shreds anyway. Extracts are getting safer, they've even been removing them from dispensaries since 'CRC' is around. So legally they have to be made safer to be sold.
