Then shut the fuck up if you won’t even practice what you’re judging people for Jfc. You don’t have to comment. You don’t have to grace us with whatever dumps out of your smooth brain when you smash your face against the keyboard. It’s ok to lurk and just shut up.
Bye dude
Who cares if it was your own money? We’re talking about the ethical sourcing of things you use. You haven’t said a single brand in either of your comments and it’s obvious why.

What computer and phone do you use?
What social media do you use?
What are your 5 major pieces of software?
I don’t use Amazon or Walmart. But I understand I have the privilege of choosing. You do not understand that. Grow up.
who are these amazing ethical retailers with a wide selection of available products that can be delivered virtually anywhere in the US in less than a week at a reasonable price?
It’s not lazy. You just have no perspective. Cutting Amazon and Walmart and such out of your life is a privilege. You are privileged. Millions of Americans are not.
Let’s take a look at the products on your desk and on your person. Let’s really parse your alleged ethical consumption. Tell me: what phone and computer do you use?
I don’t disagree with any of this but I also dont get the relevance. Amazon is what we have access to. That and Walmart.
For twice the price, triple the wait time, and if you juggle like 40 accounts sure.
Have you ever lived off minimum wage in a poor region?
Oh damn that’s YOUR photo lmao
It’s easy to feel like you know nothing when A) there’s seemingly infinite depth to a skill and B) there are so many options.
You’re letting perfection stop you from starting my dude. Dive in!
“If you don’t have access to even remotely consistent alternatives than just go solve the USPS for us” are you for real?
“Not convenient”? Have you any idea what it’s like to live in the US rural south? It’s Walmart, Amazon, or just fucking die.
So you literally never buy from Amazon?
You must live in a very major city.
I have a lot of queer folks depending on me right now. It’s hard to truly step back. But no one said it’d be easy
Feels all pretty pointless now so thank you, truly. I’m “down but not out” sure, but man am I down right now.
Man I want to pump my fist and say “hell yeah” but it has been a fight for a fucking decade and I just do not see the path forward right now. Right now it feels fucking hopeless and I know that will change but vague notions of unity and fighting back do not carry any water for me right now.
Some of us have put years of work into things that just evaporated two days ago with the stroke of a pen. I’ve been stun grenade-d by the police, been physically grabbed by MAGAts while trying to film interviews as a member of the press, called a race traitor and threatened by neo nazis, been doxxed twice, had my kids threatened, and I’m fucking exhausted. So unless you have something very specific and actionable right this fucking second I can do with minimal effort I just can’t give you any of my mental bandwidth or energy or optimism. I know it will come back, but today? I’m out of spoons.
I think people are about to learn just how much punishment people are willing to tolerate for Trump and how powerless our institutions are in the the face of rich people who are willing to bend so far for Trump.
Did you read the article?
Don’t count on it.
“President Trump will do what President Trump wants to do. He has a plan, and I will play accordingly,” Goncalves said. “I’m a big boy. I bought Stelco knowing that Stelco is in Canada. And you know what? America first.”
Your mental health comes first but always remember that pretending it doesn’t exist is different from protecting your sanity. It’s a tougher needle to thread than you think!
Not an element. It’s a massive demand.
Does anyone actually use it? I put my head in every few months and it’s just a bunch of graveyard servers. Very few that have any activity so far as I can tell.
