          If operating in bad countries is a reason to have your little boycott, then not operating in Russia won't budge the dial because BK will keep operating in the US irrespective.

                  I am also saying that, if one is concerned with "Does BK exist in bad countries?", the Russia question is irrelevant because BK will always be in the bad country that is the US, making its specific actions in any other context moot as the question is already answered.

      I simply don't get this mentality. I'm sure you do realize, that companies such as Microsoft still operate in Russia. You think all people over there are running Linux? Aside from how unbelievably stupid your take is, guess they are traitors too. But you'll still keep using their OS and Office suite for millenia to come.

        I wouldn't be at all surprised if Russia did have larger linux adoption. It's not unheard of for countries to be (in my opinion baselessly) suspicious that microsoft contains american spyware.

          They surely do, but none of the Russians or Ukrainians I know have ever heard of Linux.

            looking into it there is a russian version of linux that is widely used by the Russian government and it's trying to push wider civilian adoption

        MS stopped selling licenses last year and blocked the ones operating this year (non renewal). But I get your point, only not all the big companies stayed

          You're assuming Russians pay for MS licenses michael-laugh

          (Note: I'm not saying that's a bad thing, just that piracy is rampant in Russia)

              Uncritical support for FitGirl. Unless they're a transphobe like Empress, I guess.
