@Snowshadow to be fair, I'm moving to a zone 2 apartment in #London for the first time in three years in order to cut living expenses by a factor of two. This way I will be able to reduce my salary while still maintaining the same levels of support for Ukraine.

#Latvian charity system #ZiedotLV, for which I can vouch, it's *the* online charity platform, has launched an amazing service for recurring donations to #Ukraine.

I'm subscribing to #DronesForUkraine right now, join me!

@Snowshadow for sure, I just wonder how contaminated statistics are with people like me. I guess I should read the study instead of speculating :D

funny! The guy can't come to terms with the fact that border protests are #kremlin-orchestrated to a degree when different #Ukraine support groups independently start to #BoycottPolishProducts, he sees a conspiracy to "make the situation worse".

@Snowshadow I wonder if the conclusion of reduced wealth of the people is correct. For example, I heavily prioritise expiring products (where I'd take something for today that is expiring even if it doesn't have a discout) to combat food waste.

@Snowshadow I thought Sky News is something where they discuss #Formula1!

Implied reputation explains why they employ racists to comment on races (uh, I swear to everything that is sacred, there was no pun intended whatsoever).

@tom_andraszek jokes aside, it's very wholesome of you to do that. We're on the same page in terms of what civilians should do.

Also, I have a deep respect for Polish people and even understanding of, although no respect for, anti-humanist people like you (see my longread).

Boycotting someone or something is not black-and-white. I wasn't drinking my favorite beer while Germany wasn't doing their part, but now I do. It's not like I despised Germans or even German government for the delay, I just don't have much tools to have an impact except for not buying their shit and convincing 10 people to convince 10 people to not buy their shit. Same with Poland now. We're on one side, currently my buddies near the frontlines can't get high-tech stuff because of Polish kremlin actors, so I do what I can to make sure that they do.

@tom_andraszek that time when we were boycotting Germany, sure!

@tom_andraszek cool story

@UncleDuke1969

BTW, I absolutely understand #Polish sentiment.

Think about what happened to them in #WW2: getting attacked by #Germany and #USSR at the same time.

The West has failed to act on their intervention promises.

Displaced Poles accepted as refugees in neighbouring countries, which, very quickly, fell to #nazis, forcing them to move again.

Poles fighting alongside Charles De Gaulle's armies and flying wing to wing with British and Indian #RAF pilots.

Red army failing to act on their intervention promise during Warsaw uprising despite having a huge battle group not 30 KM away down the Vistula river.

And finally, when the victory felt near, the West has betrayed them once again, agreeing to give #Poland to #stalin.

So while I find anti-humanist takes by Mr. Makler and his fellow #kremlin-paid actors absolutely disgusting, I can't blame those Poles who know the recent history of their country for falling for it.

The problem is that, sadly, it perpetuates situations like the ones Poland was during #WW2, so even though I understand anti-humanist voices, even of those who delude themselves into thinking that there is any logic in what Mr. Makler is saying beyond pure revanchism, I have zero respect for Poles who fall for this.

A big part of the reason of why I decided to not tie my life with #Poland back during the active phase of war in #Syria (I was living in #Krakow back then) was the popular opposition to accepting refugees. I would ask Poles "do you understand that when a person flees the war you accept them first and ask questions later, if not for that, you personally wouldn't be here", but this very basic argument, sadly, would fall on deaf ears.

This is why today, I and all of my #Ukraine support network #boycott #polish products.

Nice export income you have there, would be a shame if something happened to it.

Bold of the guy to toot toots with #NAFO tags with one hand and spew #kremlin agenda with another.

More about #Polish #blockade in a great summary by Tobeor: https://youtu.be/1cKSjqbSEw0?feature=shared&t=611

@tom_andraszek @Snowshadow that is a very cool story, Tom.

Since you seem to be in the loop, can you please also tell us something about Rafal Makler, Janusz Korwin-Mikke, Robert Winnicki?

Regarding unfair competition: basically you're saying that it's unfair for countries at war to participate in the global economy? Sizzling take, I'll make sure to remind you of that take when the time of #Poland shall come.

I have no idea why I wrote such a long message when "khui budesh, vatnik" would suffice.

@Snowshadow my friends at the front-lines can't get military supplies. I'm in the middle of a #Boycott of #Polish products, as everyone should around the world.

#BoycottPolish #BoycottPoland #Poland #Ukraine

3-0 on a very tough server vs some mythic-level #MTGArena players.

Will put out the recordings if anyone is interested.

I'm trying to play #MagicTheGathering every day.

Today was another study in "who's the beatdown".

https://www.17lands.com/user/deck/dfa4319f415d48adb9c3dbbea4bf1495/59530285/1707783372 didn't manage to 7-2 with this.

Cornered Crook felt bad (should've replaced it with Make Your Move!) and there were quite some interesting spots. For example, here perhaps I Galvanize their two-drop?

@homegrown @mastodonmigration I'll just leave it here.

Seriously, you are aware that you're #ActivityPub over the #Internet[1], right?

Shower thought. #FBI has killed #AaronSwartz? Why can't they kill #DonaldTrump? Can only hunt the defenseless.

14-3 in #MKM #PremierDraft. 🤷
