sounds easy considering I haven't bought anything from Amazon in years

    Right? One week of not buying things from Amazon is fucking nothing. They’ve proven over and over that they’re evil and should be boycotted. Do people seriously buy something every week from Amazon? That’s like addiction shit.

    Just stop buying from Amazon. I reached that tipping point like twelve horrific things ago. If you’re still using it, you’re just kind of a bad person with zero self control.

    Listen, I can't just not use Amazon. Where else am I going to get my SYPHILICHODE nail trimmers and LEAKCROTCH underwear?

    You can't just find horrible garbage to buy ANYWHERE, you gotta buy it on Amazon.

    I can live without it for a week, but man, these underwear don't last too long so I gotta keep buying more!

    (/s in case this was not sufficiently clear, but this is the ultimate problem with all these pointless little internet symbolic gestures: nobody will notice, remember, or care about them since they're only going to be a very minor stoppage in buying things, which everyone ends up buying ANYWAYS after the week is over.)

    "...Do people seriously buy something every week from Amazon?"

    Yes. I have one family member with an amazon affiliated credit card and when it's combined with prime... Anyways, multiple family members use that account to make orders from. This includes ordering cases of softdrinks ever 2-3 weeks.
