Is igniting a brown paper bag, (theatrically) power? Are parlor tricks, power? Do the members who arrive at this site, entering these gates, the ones asking, some demanding, for “power”// do the members doing this become long term members of our community? Do they know what “ power” is? How would anyone know if they wanted it if they don’t even know what it is? Power seekers kinda confuse me ( well, not really ) why don’t they go to online political forums and ask for power there? ah yeah, that ain’t power either. And these members never specify which skills or virtues they desire, or why or how they would use such a thing or such things, they simply ask for “power” and expect everyone to jump at the opportunity to be the power supplier. ok, some have over the years. Jumping to the front of the line to supply power to the ones jumping to the front of the line seeking it. That all went well, worked out alright didn’t it? No? good grief dudes, all I asked for was “power” give it up and cya already, I ain’t got time to waste, except unless, it’s the real power, you know, hurry up hand it over. does this ever work or ever work out? can a member, seeking “power” here be identified as one who attained this power? if so, please share your experience. I think I must’ve missed it when that happened. it never inspires me. what a difference IMO it would be if new members came here asking about virtues or skills; and a few have actually, not nearly as many it seems as the ones seeking “power” or if there were many passing through our gates asking for ways to help others, heal themselves and then be able to be of service healing others or that sorta thing, or show sincere respect, open mindedness, steady consistency, at least/// and again, we’ve had those types too. Personally, I find those a bit more interesting and may follow some of their posts. and I’ve even tried ( often successfully) to provoke these in some way. For my own reasons (rightly or wrongly) and a few of the few do hang around despite the various antics, insults, ego battles, etc and become lights of our community. I thank them, kinda, (may take years for me to do so, ) ( The ones who don’t need thanked or acknowledged I find more interesting) has anyone arriving here, immediately asking or demanding power to be handed to them, actually become part of our community? If so please step forward and accept a door prize

https://markrasmus.org/ anyone have experience with any of these workshops? prices being what they are; (not suggesting price is high or low) does one get value for their $ ?

So two states passed the vote and three states failed to pass recreational mj this past election. Kentucky governor issued an executive order allowing Kentuckians to purchase medical mj in other states and possess/use here, up to eight ounces. legislatures refuse to put a bill together and for some reason won’t allow a measure to be voted on in an election by the public. in other news https://www.yahoo.com/news/first-legal-medical-marijuana-harvest-230006309.html

that’s right I’ve never hid a post of your’s ever. I have a strong bias favoring your blazing brilliance. keep on keeping on and thank you

Five states are voting on recreational weed today. alas, of course my state had no such thing

Mod presence notice if you’ve had posts of your’s hidden and you didn’t request that—- And you’ve had recent posts hid by mods on other threads—- I suggest some reflection bc I could at a whim drop a sixty day suspension

I did flag four of Nungali’s posts with warnings for each. I gave the minimum points for now until further mod review.

On the post of Nungali’s that I quoted I was responding to what Nungali had bolded. If you peruse the thread you might find posts that are tagged with warning. Those posts contained direct personal insults.

Find a way to disagree without adding personal insults. We’ve been here before. For members who’ve had posts hidden on this thread. I will review again when time allows; there may be more warnings, points,suspensions, handed out. Regardless of content, there is a never a reason to resort to personal insults. Attack any idea or content at will. Do not insult another member, Ever.

@Trunk @sean

It’s good to see you around when you make your occasional visits. I think, I noticed a change with you when you changed your name. Me and Blasto may have butted heads, however, me and Encephalon never did. And the site had a different vibe back in the day…. I, myself, made many questionable posts, as have many others. I offer my apologies to you for posts I made that may have taken some joy out of the TDB experience away from you. I have always read what you post and appreciate your perspective. I’d like very much to read new posts from you, I have wondered about you; how you’re getting along these days, your practices, thoughts in general, or whatever.
