Sanctions have effect precisely because they are a broad tool.
It's not people's fault, but it is their responsibility.
They are not to blame, but they must handle what has been passed on to them. It has always been thus.
Deciding "it's not your problem" and choosing to blame others will simply make the problem last longer.
The fix starts with you. In my life, it started with me.
Privately held. That means there's a chance that someone can go good with it.
Nice to see a sane take.
The kicker is, this isn't even necessary. It's not LED lights that are the issue, it's poorly-implemented dimming of LED lights.
In some cases (home lighting dimming), you can either buy a dimmable LED light or buy a dimmer made for LEDs.
But sometimes, it's just built in to the device, and there's nothing you can do about it. All it technically takes is a really simple circuit that adds capacitance to the line.
If you have a cheap strip of LEDs dimmed by a cheap PWM controller, you might even be able to just take the positive and wrap it through and around a ring magnet multiple times. I'm not sure that would work, but I've seen it done before for noise filtering, which this is, effectively.
What that does is averages out the highs and lows, significantly reducing flicker. There are some devices out there that do the (small amount) of work that is required not to flicker. It's just.. ..dimming by flicker is really easy, and if a manufacturer can save a few cents at the cost of quality, a lot of them will.
Not toxicity, but asphyxiation. Nitrogen's harmless, but you need oxygen and will sleep fast if you don't get it.
It could be considered a form of gaslighting, since initially they stated their actual intent, and then pretended like the opposite was their intent all along.
Well damn, that was fast. I only asked for it like, an hour ago. Good job, world.
It/that.

So your advice is basically "come on, guys, you can resist russian aggression in ways that don't involve conflict, stop the sanctions and side with Russia pls"?
No. As the instigator of this conflict, Russia can back the fuck down.
