Are there any alternatives?

To sport? Try musical theatre.

If the shoe fits…

Are…you asking if I’d fuck a shoe?

Are you asking if I would fuck a Russian? 🤨

I assume you’re speaking in jest?

You know what they say about assuming.

On the contrary, I just reject the idea that what you buy from who is leading to any material improvement in society. I think there are much better ways to push for positive change.

My abstention was based in not contributing to negative change.

I can’t really eat if I don’t indirectly pay money to the largest neo-imperialist empire in the world

You could. Food is there for stealing. Land is there for growing on. People might shoot at you for trying, but you could.

There is no ethical consumption.

I’m pretty sure that phrase isn’t actually a call to apathy.

Come on, you understand what I mean.

I don’t. I don’t support what the Russian government is doing and I want to provide a little funding towards the endeavors of which I do not approve as possible.

An amount that is not ₽0 would appear to enter Russian coffers if I buy this product, and it is possible to provide “< not 0” by not buying it.

people are not their government

Which is why I wouldn’t have a moral problem with buying this product if I knew for a fact the producers were cheating on their taxes.

You don’t think money going to a country …is money …which goes to that country?

If I bought something for €40 off some guy who pays their nation 2.5% tax on the transaction is that €1 paid not a Euro the nation would not have had I declined to make the purchase?

are you suggesting we should avoid economical transactions with every citizen of a state you disapprove?

Over the table, yes I am.

I would like to provide as little funding toward the expansion of territory in which transitioning gender presentation is a crime as possible.

Russians citizen are not equal to Russian government. They are just people.

I know. I love Russians. I wish Oleg Strizhenov, Bradshaw and Aleksandr Dulerayn, Anna Melikian, and the gals from Pussy Riot all the best. May their government cease being made up of Mafiya members The West recognized in the early 90s as soon as possible.

I objected to the device being produced in (and hence paying taxes to) The Russian Federation, not being made by Russians.

I love Russians.

You’ll understand if I don’t contribute to their tax base for now.

Why would anyone want a PS5 with coax?

So I don’t have to use a VCR as a passthrough.

Are you using a 30 year old TV?

I’m certainly not trowing out working tech that isn’t capable of spying on me.
It’s not like TVs spoil.

Preach it.

I don’t think so?

Yet another reason to go with the PS2.

Can you hook it up to your TV via coax?

Yes it can? I just watched one the other night

Glad to hear optic drives aren’t dead.

PS2 still has better games.

Get a PS 2. PS5 can’t even play DVDs.

And that’s ANOTHER thing. You never cleaned the cheesewheel from the hampster aerdrion valtrex.

Why won’t you address the cruise boat missive ?

Right, your moral cowardice.

And then you gotta talk about giant squids.

Them things is huuuuuuuuuuge. Like you can fit two regular size squids inside one and the big ones at that.

All wriggly and covered in equal parts suckers and slime.

Life is like that, my friend. You got all sorts of movement in it and it’s trying to slip away from you AS (get is? as) it grips onto you.

Them suckers is painful too, because they got fish hooks in them. Squid fish hooks are natures fish hooks, that’s why they used to use them as fish hooks.

Of course they had to catch the squid to cut its arms up and once they managed that no one wanted to use the hooks anymore as they had just went through the trouble of inventing a non-hook-related method of catching sealife.

And life is like that, friend.

And how do you think axes get sharpened?

Whetstones! And you can’t just smash a bat into a berry barn.
The edge is what gives axes …pardon the expression… edge!

So if the gravy thickens what are you going to do with that apretrieaour of yours?

I hope you got some long-term strategy for weevils.

What part of gatekeeping access are you not able to wrap your head around and how many times do I need to explain profiting off uncompensated labor?
