Absolute horseshit. Our definition of rich globally is tied to having material wealth, meaning money. Until ALL of us are free, none of us are free. Deng Xiaoping is just another capitalist apologist with better optics than the US ones. China is a repressive dictatorial state that throws...

I actually really appreciate this. Lee just seems like the kinda guy who genuinely can find the good in anything, and can make the world work for him most of the time. He has been accused of shilling in the past and has been defended like this before, and that consistency leads me to believe Lee...

If we see Powell kicked out and a loyalist installed at the Fed, we might see a unique scenario that hasn't often happened since central banks began managing the money supply post-Depression: runaway inflation *and* declining rates. That would ultimately leave the capitalist economy in a really...

Fuck this country. Fuck Donald Trump. Fuck every single neo-Nazi who thinks that disappearing people without due process is OK. Fuck every single fascist piece of shit that makes us have dead man's switches in case we get nabbed for being too "manish", or brown, or having tattoos. I set one up...

They HAVEN'T lost billions, though. Their billions are in assets that are NEVER real until they cash out and actually sell shares. Instead, they all are sitting on HUGE piles of cash so they can buy up a bunch of assets on the cheap. Then, when markets recover, they have even MORE shares than...

I'm in to test!! I've been using a Peak Pro with a 3DXL chamber for several years as my main means of consuming concentrates, and I'll sometimes use some unbleached organic cotton with my dry herb devices. This seems like a better option than organic cotton since it lasts indefinitely and there...

I ended up getting the 8mm low profile one! I sometimes use a Vaphit tip as a 9mm adapter as my Stunner and Dani both fit in that tip pretty well, and microdosing with the Lotus is something I'm looking forward to :)

A combination of minimalism and travel! I have a Lotus on its way to me from the Exchange, and I pretty exclusively use manual vapes so I have a bevy of 8mm devices and a few 9mm ones. One stem with two heads would be ever-so-slightly more minimalistic to throw in a bag with a Lotus, Dani...

These look amazing!! Do the heads detach from the stems? I would love to get just like one of the stems and both the .1 and .05g bowls in one order!

So again, do you have any videos of the device in action? You've come in with some bold claims that I am not nearly educated enough in organic chemistry to understand, and you have people in this thread demonstrating knowledge that contradicts your claims. It is on the claimant to prove their...

I've been using Colibri since I started vaping in 2021, and it works beautifully! I buy in bulk when I can since it doesn't go bad for well over a year.

For anyone interested in a more modern, 21st century review of archeological evidence, I highly, HIGHLY recommend David Graeber and David Wengrow's "The Dawn of Everything". It is incredibly well-sourced and points out how much Jared Diamond cherry-picks his favorite instances of people meeting...

Sure, but archeological evidence is pretty clear about how humans die, and frequently see large stretches of time in which buried humans generally die of natural causes or obvious accidents and there is very limited evidence of warfare or interpersonal violence. Murders still happen in, say...

Diamond cherry-picks data and denies agency to peoples of the past, and has a deep, foundational materialistic view of the world that he doesn't back up with good anthropology. The reality is that violence is one option built into our DNA. The idea that violence is somehow innate in ALL humans...

Anthropological evidence of organized, state-based war is scant once you extend about a myriad into the past. The Hobbesian idea of a permanent state of natural warfare has been pretty well debunked at this point, and the Rousseauian idea of a pure, zero-violence Garden of Eden-like existence is...

If a market is free, it is exploitable. Capitalism actually always leads to monopolies and abuses of workers' rights. Any fighting against those things has been done by workers at the expense of capitalists, and the last time we had significant work reform it took many, many dead bodies. If the...

Yes. I have answers to all this. The answers are all yes. American hegemonic power has toppled dozens of governments in the Global South. We've killed millions and millions of people between globally-induced famines, wars, pollution, and climate change. If you got sick in this country and didn't...

Indeed, extreme, and I would argue it became necessary when plainclothes officers began abducting legal residents off the streets without identifying themselves. Secret police disappearing people is kind of exactly why minorities have long armed themselves. The only way to deal with a rogue...

Some friends have asked me recently why I've taken to carrying a firearm when I go out and about, considering I do not care about physical stuff getting robbed, and I never find myself being targeted anyway. This is why. Please note, I am not advocating violence. I am reminding folks that...

What are you talking about? We've always been at war with Eastasia Iran.
