Customs chatter (all producers)

[yyy02]

Has anyone been in touch with Alex lately? With VPN's and crypto wallets, it seems it might be possible to help them (and us) by giving them some business. It's not easy to get anything other than echo-chamber BS about all of this, but from what I've been hearing, I'd love to work with them. Maybe a female girl from Donbass captured by an Azov guy from the Kiev security police and politely asked a few questions about military plans (which of course she can't answer...)

A couple of weeks ago, I received an email from Alex, probably the same one you received as a customer. It said that he had established a cryptocurrency wallet and could now do business that way?

Judging by content available on Nicheclips, it hasn't really slowed him down much, if at all.

A lot of people seem to be tiptoeing around the Russia-Ukraine conflict. I guess I have as well, though the conditions would be ripe for a lot of scenarios?

I would love to hire hotbody Arina for a custom, but just don't have the spare cash. Maybe after my taxes get done? I indicated to Alex as such.

Alex mentioned crypto to me as well, and told me he had a wallet. My problem is that I don't have a crypto account and don't plan to set one up. He also gave me his bank account number in case I could do a transfer, but my bank won't let me send outside of their system. So, I'm dead in the water until another solution opens up. In the meantime, I'm revisiting old film stock to re-edit.

I've noticed that his updates are just as frequent as before the invasion, although the last two have been kind of blah. I don't know if he's funding these himself for now, or if he has enough of a customer base on the other side of the conflict line to keep his studio afloat. I *did* get an email from Marie asking if I was going to do a script with her and I told her no and why not - I'd hire her, but I have no way to pay her.

I do have a script idea ready for when I can do international commerce to Russia again, but for now, my projects are still on hold.

Unfortunately that's not likely to happen anytime soon. Even if the war ended and the Russians pulled of Ukraine, those sanctions will still be in force, probably until there's a regime change in Russia. I don't see that happening in the foreseeable future. This whole mess will drag on for years, and it's the everyday common people that will suffer for it, as is usually the case.

... it's the everyday common people that will suffer for it, as is usually the case.

Amen, wulf.

I would like nothing better than to see putin removed, by any means, but I don't see it happening. Where are the ninja assassins when you need them.

The weirdest part is that it's difficult to separate information from misinformation these days. Who's telling the truth, and to what degree?

That may be true. But there's no spinning or denying the fact that one country invaded another country, for reasons that are quite obscure to most of the world. It was an unprovoked attack, for political gain by the aggressor. It's pretty hard for anyone to justify that and keep a straight face.

1000% agree there.

I was talking more about the atrocities that have been demonstrated, and also found, in Ukraine.

Maybe it's the Russian bots that are providing a lot of misinformation... even to the point that "sources" are blaming the Ukranians for perpetrating them on their own citizens.

That's what VPN's and crypto are for.
Jeez, the things we dream of doing to girls are not exactly socially acceptable. So if buying a product of imagination that hurts no one (at least not for very long) requires a bit more creativity, hell it's worth it.

Boys, it's pretty clear where you get your news, and I admit that's the easy way, to believe simplistic shit that makes sense only if you believe that one party is pure evil.

Putin certainly needs to go--unlike Mr. Biden and company. Hell, under his leadership Russia has national debt which is 20% of GNP instead of 106% (US), 236% (Japan) and in the mid-to-high 80's for most of western Europe. Inflation there is very low. No need to compare with here. No shortages of food and stuff there. No wonder his approval rating in his population is well above 80%--way up since the "war" started--compared with Mr. Biden's below 40% and falling.

I assume all of you who believe this was unprovoked all know about the history of Russian and Ukraine and NATO from the 1990's on, the coup orchestrated by the US neocons to get rid of a democratically elected president, the Maidan, the Minsk agreement, the fact that Ukraine has been shelling its own citizens in the Donbass for 8 years, killing more than 14,000 (of course they would never commit atrocities against their own citizens), the fact that there were 100,000 Ukranian troops lined up on the border of the eastern Ukranian Donbass region preparing to go in. Imagine that the US government shelled Florida or Texas, which don't do what Biden says they must and lined up a major force to go in and "cleanse" those areas.

As for the atrocities: I assume you know about the "ghost of Ukraine", the Snake Island massacre, the video in US and western media showing bombed out areas from 20 years ago and alleged action in Ukraine that was literally copied from video games. All proven--not alleged--to be lies. Ask yourself a simple question about Bucha: If the Russians left the area on March 19th and the bodies were found by Ukranian police performing a "cleansing operation" in Bucha on April 2nd, how the hell had those bodies left on the street been in such perfect condition after 2 weeks lying out on the street in 50-60 degree temperatures? How did the Mexican journalist who shot the video find that the dead were showing fresh blood?

This stuff isn't hard to find (though of course it must all be the result of "Russian bots" making shit up, which we know our corporate media never does.

Yes, I agree it's very possible that the sanctions will remain in place as long as western populations allow them. But keep your eyes on your own economies in the coming months and compare them with data from Russia. Trust Biden and the neocons to attack Russia with boomerangs. If the cause is so just, why are European countries already defecting from the sanctions to save their own economies from disaster...while the Ruble is worth more against the (worthless) dollar than it was before the sanctions.

Our rule here has been to avoid politics, but I hate to hear guys among us making totally uninformed statements about something that is so easy (still if you look around on YouTube) actually understand..if you care. Isn't is worth it to you to spend a few hours outside the echo chamber for the sake of Cry, Tay, Anastasia and the other lovelies who work with Alex to make our fantasies come "real" for such reasonable prices. Of course they are all as evil as Putin if they are among the 80+% there who DO understand what Russia is doing and why and support it.

Boys, it's pretty clear where you get your news, and I admit that's the easy way, to believe simplistic shit...

Your disagreements are noted.

You kept it fairly civil, so I will do likewise. Rather than go point by point through your post and argue about them, let's just agree to disagree. You're obviously on one side of the spectrum and I'm on the other. I'm willing to bet that the only thing we have in common is the love of GIMP.

And for the record, I feel for all the innocent civilians caught up in putin's bullshit, both Russian and Ukranian, and especially for Alex and the girls. If they haven't already, they will probably suffer some sort of hardship before this has all ended.

The avatar stays, though, no offense intended.

Oh btw, it's not hard to garner support when the State controls all media in the country.

Yep.
At least here we get both doses of spin and questionable information, and can bite on what we want to see and believe. I don't think anyone on either side gets the true picture, because impartial news reporting pretty much died 25 years ago.
