Hello all,

I am planning to visit Jamaica at some point in the future. I would like to stay at a place owned and operated by Jamaicans, preferably one locals use as well. It can be anywhere in Jamaica because I want to explore a lot of the island, but I definitely want to go to Kingston at some point. It should be near a beach, but that beach needs to be accessible to Jamaicans. I've heard about the government blocking beach access to locals and I don't want to contribute to that. A nearby dispensary would be nice as well.

Thanks!

I moved here several months ago and that's the only bit of patriotic clothing I own. I don't want to be seen as pushing my religion on to anyone, even though that's not what it's about.

Hello,

I am disabled. I have limited use of my hands and can't roll or grind particularly well. I'm eligible for MC due to anxiety and severe ADHD, but flower is hard for me due the aforementioned reasons. Before I moved here I used carts, but I understand that you can only get a certain amount. I'm going to use alternaleaf for MC, which would be the more cost effective way of using MC? How many carts can you get in a standard prescription? What about oil?

Thanks.

I've seen a few photos of them. The concept is really interesting. If you or your family has one that they visit, what's that like?

I'm watching this ensouled piece of lint wander around her cage, and I wonder if I can give her a bat mitzvah? Her name is Philomena. She's partly blind and very snoft. I think she deserves a bat mitzvah.

I am currently writing, well-a short story. The title is The Many Third Seders of Bialystok

It's a smaller part of a larger "No Holocaust/no Zionism" worldbuilding project. It is tangentially related to anti-Zionism, but I figured I'd ask beforehand.

Sainuu! I will be visiting your wonderful country next month; with a group run by two shamans. We will be visiting the Darkhad Valley and several other places; staying with local families and learning about Mongolian shamanism. They said to bring gifts other than alcohol, including money. Any recommendation? What's the going rate for a shaman these days? I'm coming from England, do you think our hosts would like something British-themed?

Aloha,

Out of sheer curiosity, were foreigners accepted as ali'i when Hawaii was independent? Did the Kingdom have a separate peerage system for non-Hawaiians? I ask because I've been watching Chief of War and loving it.

I collect hats and would love a fez for my collection. I love the old photos of Arab and Turkish gentlemen in suits with fezzes. I would love to purchase one, preferably from Morocco.

This is a true story, the fact that I'm drinking means nothing.n full disclosure, this wasn't too far after October 7th and I hadn't unlearned the indoctrination.

I took a trip to the Kingdom of Tonga in 2023. It was a reward for not killing myself before I finished grad school. It's my favourite place in the world, and if my wife agreed I'd move there in a heartbeat.

Tonga is a very conservative, Christian country. Mostly Methodist. They love their King and they love Jesus to the point of sabbatarianism. Everything shuts down on Sunday by law except for tourist businesses. I had the privilege of asking the Prime Minister about what he thought about Israel's laws; because my hotel happened to be one of two fancy-ish restaurants on the island of Tongatapu. He said it was a good thing that Jews were keeping the Sabbath. (Honestly, I'm inclined to agree that this is one of the few good things about Israel.)

A few days later I was having a few drinks at the bar when I saw three men: two middle-aged palangi (white guys) dressed in "vacation attire" and a Tongan man in formalwear: tupenu (skirt, very comfy btw) and ta'ovala (a woven mat worn around the waist). The white men had a familiar accent and I heard the word "Jew". Naturally, my ears pricked up like an alcoholic horse. Craning to hear, I saw that the men were talking about October 7th and Christian Zionists in the USA. Additionally, a terrible summation of Covenant theology.

These men were obviously Israeli diplomats, trying to take advantage of the Tongan people due to their Christian faith. I probably still would have called myself a Zionist at this point but the propaganda was wearing off, and I have always despised Christian Zionism. I would wager that your average Tongan has read more of the Bible than your average American Christian (tm) has read anything in their lives. As they were leaving, I got up and "accidentally" shoulder checked one of the men. I said "oops, slicha", winked, and went back to my room.

Myself and the Prime Minister, to prove I'm not lying.
