And I said they are different procedures. Someone intending to die in a pod is not the same as attempting to force someone to die strapping a mask to their face.

A person in a suicide pod is cooperating with the process not biting and scratching for precious life, potentially causing oxygen to leak into the mask and cause excruciating suffering.

I am not saying it is immoral to kill prisoners so you shouldn't use this method (although I say now it is immoral to kill prisoners and you shouldn't ever do it by this or any other method).

I am saying this method does not work for executions and you can't use it for its intended end.

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.

I'm just glad they're both still alive.

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

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.

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.
