One thing that worked with my partner was asking them if they had a racist or a mean relative and asking them how they felt spending time around them when they were kids.

We haven’t talked to his parents since November and he says he ain’t missing them at all.

Toxic-ass motherfuckers.

Just went through that with an elderly neighbor recently.

She broke her foot and is in poor health, so we were walking her dog twice a day cause we are nice like that. She was always praising us for being such good people and a godsend to her.

One day, she made a comment that she thought Trump was doing a great job and I gently tried to explain to her that he was ruining our lives and countless others out there.

I was hoping she would have a moment of introspection, but no. She just immediately went on about the democrats, how we get offended too easily, and how she thinks I swear too much but she doesn’t hold it against me.

Everything except: “I’m sorry. I didn’t realize.”

Told her we no longer feel comfortable walking get dog.

Cue the waterworks and the “What about me? I can’t walk!”

It’s not worth engaging with these people. There is something broken in their brains.

Woosh.

A simple no-buy for one day boycott led to the way to Prime cancellation.

More than one, actually. I talked to my sister about it and she ended up cancelling hers as well. A couple of our friends did as well.

I used to buy a ton of Amazon stuff. Mostly art supplies, pet supplies, clothes, novelties I didn’t need.

One day, I was browsing Reddit and I was like-- “what is this boycott thing all about?” and then I started by not ordering for one whole day!

Then one whole week!

Then one whole month!

Anyway, I ended up cancelling my Prime subscription, deleting my Amazon account completely, and cancelling my Prime Store credit card.

Then at work, for Valentine’s Day, we each received a $200 dollar Amazon gift card as an employee appreciation gift.

I spoke up and said that I would prefer to receive cash or nothing at all because my values did not align with Amazon-- which caused many of my coworkers to decline theirs as well.

It was so perplexing to leadership, that they decided that going forward they are just going to give us a $200 cash bonus on our paychecks

So anyways, that’s the impact one of these “pointless” boycott posts had on me.
