  • Apparently this method

    Working for suicide is very different from working to execute a non-willing participant.

  • 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.

  • Copyright Mig-Switch 2024 - A product of Mig Switch, developed and produced in the Russian Federation

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

  • It offers as proof of an assertion something requiring as much if not more proof than the assertion it is offered up in an attempt to prove?

    Or does the poster mean that it raises a question?

  • I'm petty? You're the one who's keeping this going.

  • So much for leaving, huh?

    This is a fight now

    Only because you're making it one.

  • Alright I can tell when a conversation isn’t productive anymore.

    When you stop listening?

    I explained very clearly why the implications of the position you took were harmful.

  • When did I say a doctor can override a patient?

    "it's between the individual and their doctor if they want to pursue medical things."

    It isn't. It's between an individual and their damn self.

  • I think the thrust of their point is it's between the individual and their doctor if they want to pursue medical things.

    And my point is it isn't.

    Saying, "It's between an individual and their doctor." implies there could be a time when a person wants to ingest something or do something to their body that affects nobody but them (vaccinations I still advocate the administration of at gunpoint) and they shouldn't be allowed to because a doctor said no.

    Doctors are their to advise, but not at the level of the individual to consent.

    By all means keep antibiotics behind a key, but if a person wants to eat paint chips doctors should be there to monitor their blood for lead and explain why they maybe shouldn't, not to stop them.

  • It’s between the trans person and their doctor

    A trans person can shoot dutasteride directly into their eyeball if they want or gurgle horse urine against the specific advice of a physician and it would still be fine.

  • Downvoted for watermark.

  • Canada Post recorded a $290 million loss in the third quarter of 2023, while its cost of operations rose by $26 million.

    Services don't lose money, services are performed and they cost what they cost.

  • No, it's the Platonic Ideal of the Form of "a police car" which exists on a metareal plane separate from and superior to that occupied by the light which embodies it and the matter which perceives it.

  • It is literally a police car.

    Ceci n'est pas. It is data rendered on a display.
