Boycott Everything

just in case anyone is still using Amazon,

Do you mean other than the 200 million customers they have every month?

Yeah, but people on here wouldn’t be such complacent, selfish cunts, would they?

we have SUV owners here ..

Prob not the best way to convince people to stop using Amazon...

If knowing what an evil bunch of cunts Amazon are hasn’t stopped these cunts from using those cunts, I’m willing to give the ‘call the cunts cunts’ approach a try.

Bermondsey Tandoori, for giving me food poisoning last night. Think I've pulled a stomach muscle puking.

Also, still Amazon.

I haven't bought from them for 5 years.

Aon, Adobe, Airbnb, Alcatel-Lucent, AOL, Acquia, AdRoll, AEG, Alert Logic, Autodesk, Bitdefender, BMW, British Gas, Baidu, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Canon, Capital One, Channel 4, Chef, Citrix, Coinbase, Comcast, Coursera, Disney, Docker, Dow Jones, European Space Agency, ESPN, Expedia, Financial Times, FINRA, General Electric, GoSquared, Guardian News & Media, Harvard Medical School, Hearst Corporation, Hitachi, HTC, IMDb, International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research, International Civil Aviation Organization, ITV, iZettle, Johnson & Johnson, JustGiving, JWT, Kaplan, Kellogg’s, Lamborghini, Lonely Planet, Lyft, Made.com, McDonalds, NASA, NASDAQ OMX, National Rail Enquiries, National Trust, Netflix, News International, News UK, Nokia, Nordstrom, Novartis, Pfizer, Philips, Pinterest, Quantas, Reddit, Sage, Samsung, SAP, Schneider Electric, Scribd, Securitas Direct, Siemens, Slack, Sony, SoundCloud, Spotify, Square Enix, Tata Motors, The Weather Company, Twitch, Turner Broadcasting,Ticketmaster, Time Inc., Trainline, Ubisoft, UCAS, Unilever, US Department of State, USDA Food and Nutrition Service, UK Ministry of Justice, Vodafone Italy, WeTransfer, WIX, Xiaomi, Yelp, Zynga and Zillow.

Does boycotting Amazon mean boycotting every business that transacts with them? I suspect that is nearly impossible.

Plenty of "I bought one on Amazon" posts on here, disappointingly. I don't get it, it's really not difficult to avoid.

@owl of course not, just buy direct or from other platforms.

One does not simply boycott Amazon

My point was clearly facetious, but isn't AWS the most profitable part if their business these days (probably not, but I picked that up somewhere) and that list indicates how difficult it would be to boycott everyone who uses it...

But yeah, don't buy stuff from them if you can get elsewhere. Sometimes the delivery service they offer does mean they're the only viable option. Sadly.

Given that stuff like Companies House uses it I'd say it probably is impossible.

We use it. I use it personally. I'm unlikely to stop using it unless they suddenly come out in support of culling cyclists or something. There are other bigger issues, more important to me to worry about than retail or where I get my compute power from.

You'll struggle to use the internet these days without indirectly causing a processor in an AWS data centre to make some kind of calculation. Perhaps because I've dealt with them a lot through work, I don't mind AWS, but I don't use the retail side of Amazon at all. feel free to call me a hippo-crit

Reminds me of this video:

https://www.vice.com/en/article/xgxx54/amazon-drivers-are-instructed-to-drive-recklessly-to-meet-delivery-quotas

Albeit sounds like it's mostly falling on deaf ears ¯\(ツ)/¯

Amazon delivery companies around the United States are encouraging reckless and dangerous driving by ordering delivery drivers to shut off an app called Mentor that Amazon uses to monitor drivers' speed and give them a safety score to prevent accidents. Drivers say they are being ordered to turn the app off by their bosses so that they can speed through their delivery routes in order to hit Amazon's delivery targets.

another reason to not drink this shit.
