@LukeAlmighty this is funny tbh and technically it is art, but i get the point, it's more of a shitpost and not really gallery worthy

@matrix
Well, I saw it in a gallery.

@LukeAlmighty Wouldn't have expected otherwise

@matrix mfw tariffs

@beardalaxy how much? i still pay have to pay 21% VAT and a processing fee for it

@matrix all of amiami's shipping methods stopped shipping to the US because of tariffs. So it's not about how much, I just literally can't buy anything. Including my pre-ordered fumos

@beardalaxy@gameliberty.club @matrix@gameliberty.club

wtf I love tariffs now

@kuteboicoder @beardalaxy @matrix what the hell was that noise at the end

@pernia@cum.salon @beardalaxy@gameliberty.club @matrix@gameliberty.club

Trump didn't know either

@kuteboicoder @beardalaxy @matrix it sounded like paris hilton being raped

@beardalaxy wow, i forgot about that, the tariffs are probably the worst trump policy

@matrix tbh I would be willing to accept them if the general populous saw benefits from them but absolutely nothing has changed and at that, things are only getting more expensive. Now I can't get my damn figures

@beardalaxy @matrix it's something that might end up being good in the long term but that's only if trump and whoever succeeds him sticks with them and companies start manufacturing here instead of bitching and whining but lol fat chance of all that

@matrix @beardalaxy or you pay $$$ to ship UPS/FedEx (and tariffs ofc)

everyone forgot because Kirk got assassinated

@PurpCat @matrix problem is that I would pay more but I literally can't lol

@beardalaxy @matrix zenmarket and similar forwarders still do USA shipping (just with the private couriers)

@beardalaxy @matrix essentially the process with these stores is buy the item via the forwarder (have them buy it) > they get it and you pay > ship it to your country

also you get forced to pay tariffs of course so shit's more expensive.

@PurpCat @matrix yeah i really only buy from ami ami or the figure manufacturers themselves when the option is available. never used a proxy server before, don't really want to.

@matrix Adorable, but I'm afraid the shipping cost will exceed the price of the figurine itself. Plus, I have no space where I could display it peacefully.

@zatrsakr generally no, airshipping of a single figure is about 2500JPY

@branman65 @matrix Pygmalion, he was a sculptor whom deeply hated the promiscuoness of the women around him ended up becomin celibate upon witnessing the propoetides practicing prostitution, pygmalion would sculpt a statue of a perfect woman based upon no real model as all real women were ridden with faults beyond measure, eventually pygmalion falls in love with the statue and starts kiss and fondle it, bringing gifts and even created a bed for the statue and proceeded to make love to the cold marble.

Upon aphrodite's festival pygmalion made offerings to the altar of aphrodite while wishing for a bride one that would be the "living likeness of the marble girl", when pygmalion returned to his workshop and kissed the statue as always her lips were no longer cold and hard but soft and warm, the statue changed into a woman and got married to pygmalion.

@matrix @EdBoatConnoisseur yeah I am not clicking it sounds gay

@branman65 @matrix all i can say is that if there's one politician in the USA that urgently needs to catch a headshot on national tv ASAP that is the conservative feminism peddler josh hawley, whom keeps on repeating ad nauseum the conservative zio-feminist talking point of men being what is wrong with society, birthing rates and marriage while women bear no guilt whatsoever and should continue being the yas slay kween empowered street bycicles that hook up to get plowed by 10 new guys every week.

@EdBoatConnoisseur @matrix I am not talking about Pygmalion though, I am referring to an anecdote that supposedly actually happened.

@branman65 @matrix idk, pygmalion is the one i know made love to the statue while it was still marble.
