Why should I care about local stores? Do local stores care about me if I lose my job? No they don't. So if all the local stores have to close it's totally fine for me. remove all the local stores, let's buy everything from china, zero taxes and shrink the government so they don't need so much...

amazon too. they have private external sellers who sell through amazon. even sometimes you can buy used products in amazon.

not really. most of the stuff on aliexpress you will not find it on amazon. I search "loki rxton" on amazon I get 1 result :ROFLMAO: people will continue to buy on aliexpress but at a higher price. it's the only alternative at this point.

Amazon and Ebay are the US government basically. unless you believe these silly stories of the lone entrepreneur who somehow became owner of these huge platforms. mark zuckerberg, elon musk, peter thiel, jeff bezos.... all these guys and their products are the US government basically.

why would the government charge you extra for a product that is created in a foreign country that the EU has nothing to do with? seems ridiculous. "oh because we want to protect you with all the EU regulations and we also want to protect the planet and we want to protect the poor workers from...

1- this is the EU.... supposedly one of the most advanced economical regions in the world. why is their infrastructure so poor? 2- 3- at least they exploit them. if people stop buying from china they won't need the workers at all.

Why are you so obsessed with my location? I'm a traveler. I don't have a fixed location.

Europe is the same. They don't produce anything that can compete with the products from AliExpress. They just want to charge extra simply because you are physically in the EU. That's like the mob would act.

it's 3 per product. read the article I shared above. but it's just insane that these regulators from EU when they were checking all this thing that they were going to implement they said "well they will buy for 52€ and they will pay taxes of 25€...... this seems totally reasonable and fair to...

here I have a cart of 7 items total cost of the items 52.92 € the duties are 25.42 € that's almost 50% extra in taxes!!!!

yeah. it's the EU government doing this. I guess they weren't getting enough tax money 🙃 https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2026/07/01/eu-slaps-3-duty-fee-on-shein-temu-and-aliexpress-imports here's another example of a very cheap product and what it costs now.

did you see the new duties for products bought from aliexpress when being in the European Union? this is for a loki rxton 3. that's 30% in duties bro.....it went from 0% to 30% the ambition of these people really has no limits.

I think many countries would force you to be super fit just because you are representing them and wearing their shirt. the same way they force players to be showing their fist and shouting all the time. because deep down high level is a show, not really a sport anymore. that's why 99% of the...

I think at some point you don't need to train that much anymore. like the movements become automatized so it doesn't really add anything to train more.

it's quite easy actually. you just show up to a club, compete, national team.... go pro. it's not even a very expensive sport. other sports are much more niche. like race driver for example. I never knew anyone who was a race driver.
