    The thing is, I really don't want them to cancel it. I've been signing up for it and then cancelling my subscription when it's finished, and then pirating it anyway. I just want them to see it as valuable, so they don't try to squeeze 14 books worth of content into one shitty finale because it's not making them money.

      Fuck that show. Fuck the Halo show. Fuck each and every company that just buys a name and thus a built-in fan base and mutilates the original IP beyond recognition.

        Yes, I can see how you might not want to boycott a company if you're worried about them not making money because of it.

              Target? I've moved a bunch of my shopping there, and they have pretty fast shipping as well.

                I used to LOVE target but then they got rid of Mossimo, denim and flowers and anything else good they ever had and started carrying clothes for fucking Mennonites. Seriously, their clothes went from awesome to shit.

                  Bad news about Target: they've cancelled their DEI initiatives to cater to the administration

                    A whole 7 days??? Gosh gee willakers!!! You think people can uphold a boycott a whole 7 days???

                    Look. Boycotts are effective, but you gotta be stubborn. It's gotta be "boycott from now on" with no end date.

                    Otherwise, it'll just look like normal fluctuations in their business.

                    "Oh, this week was slightly down....ah, but then it stopped. We're good!"

                    But if you boycott forever, then their numbers continuously go down. And if you get other people boycotting, those numbers go down faster.

                    THAT'S how you make an impact.

                        Those fuckers stole my digital comics library. I already stopped using Twitch and I havent bought their shitty and useless Chinese made electronics in years. Fuck Nazis, fuck Amazon, fuck Google, Fuck Trump, Fuck Musk, Fuck America! (the last part I take away when you vote the Orange Fuck Face away!)

                          Oh please, that's not even close to what I said. I just don't want them to cancel a show I like and you're all acting like I'm swinging from Bezos' dick. You're all rabid.

                              How do you get people who can't see themselves boycotting indefinitely? You get them used to it by getting them on board to boycott for a fixed length of time. Ideally, as they warm up to the idea, you get them to boycott for longer.

                                  I guess it’s a good thing that I’ve always been a minimalist. These things don’t really impact me. I very rarely buy stuff.

                                    I personally haven't bought anything from Amazon for years now (or really anywhere online, I think maybe 8 things in the past year?), issue is even within the last week I've spent hundreds if not thousands on AWS through work... Sure it's not me paying, but it's also pretty hard for me to not to given they have such a monopoly

                                        Hmm, that's about how often I shop there. Accidental boycott I guess?

                                          Definitely boycott Walmart. They’ve been horrible a lot longer than Amazon. I haven’t purchased from Walmart in a decade and a half and I see no reason to stop now.
