Nothing wrong with not paying a service you don’t want.

What makes you think that you are entitled to all that for free? Want to own stuff? Then buy physical media and there is also Bandcamp for music. Don’t want any of this? Then don’t listen or watch.

Yeah, they are quite shitty. OTOH if you pirate music then artists get 0.

Anybody is perfectly free to boycott any product. But piracy doesn’t feel right towards content creators. Heck, streaming services are dirty cheap these days and if you can’t pay 10€ or so per month, well, you’re cheap.

Also this assessment is wrong. Russian cruise missiles are perfectly capable of carrying nukes and they are fired daily in dozens 🤷‍♂️ But perhaps they are nitpicking…

Trump might 🤷‍♂️ Edit: Turnup -> Trump

Because that’s work of Soros, chemtrails and HAARP /s

Kind of. It feels more like a guy who just looked like a rapist was escorted away. As per Russians, I’m sure they have other ways to mess with those cables if they wish to, such as submarines.

lemmy and its downvotes even though Nord Stream is a good example of transition from “bad Russia” to Ukraine most likely. I’m not saying that Russia is the most likely culprit, but a little caution should be in place.

So, basically, it’s a moot point. But I can see the motivation of escorting the ship away. Chinese are on a different level, of course.

Out of curiosity, is that area protected by (international) law?

European sanctions in a nutshell: “other buyers in Europe stepped in to snap up unsold volumes”

Not surprised by this behavior, but still, wtf, media? Actually, wtf entire west, when did we become Israelis enablers and lackeys? Are we the baddies?
