Depending where you are it's honestly not hard to avoid amazon.

I've cancelled prime in January and since then, I found that every thing I needed and got there for convenience, I got from elsewhere for the same if not less and with the same kind of shipping speed.

Hell, just this week I was setting up my old vita for my son and found I needed a replacement charger. I found it from a used game store in Ontario, came to me in 2 days.

I'm ashamed of being lazy these past few years and using them so much when I could have supported local businesses instead...

It's a hard one but next is to leave their platforms as much as possible.

I'm currently De-googling / de Microsoft-ing and it's hard but feasible.

If you're not ready to leave Facebook, follow the guide John Oliver's team put out.

Otherwise, go see local comedians / bands or buy their stuff to support them, stuff like that

Oh 100% I just discovered them from goth club djs :) They were very popular beginning of the century around here but I do think they're one of the bands that go beyond that.

I was unaware thst they were still active though so thanks for your post because I got some listening to do!

Oh man, what a blast from the past. I love Ladytron. Discovered them during my more hardcore goth club years in my twenties. Still listen to them when I can.

We're gonna be killing robots in the streets by the end of the decade.
