Photuris

For me, it’s because I invested 13 years into that website, as a mostly-apolitical, slightly left-of-center normie; and then one day they decided that saying “we need to be punching Nazis” or “fuck Elon” is somehow too extreme now, and something we don’t talk about anymore (even in hypotheticals or semi-jest - I mean most of us are just keyboard warriors ffs, and we ain’t out there punching anybody).

Back in my day, saying “we should punch Nazis” was a good thing.

So yeah, I harbor some resentment. I lost some connections with some nerdy, niche, non-political interests and hobbies of mine, just because I hate Fascism so, so very much, and I was willing to say so.

So, fuck them.

Happened to me. I didn’t say anything too radical (something about punching Nazis), but discussing the temporary ban resulted in a permanent ban.

They’re really clamping down on people saying not-very-radical anti-Fascist things.

Good riddance.

Hey, maybe Fetterman is telling the truth about his pivot after all.

The people are, in fact, removed.

Not one bit. That language was way too soft.

Australia, I know y’all can throw better and harsher insults. Please bring it.

Ugh, iRobot too. So now I’ve got to replace my Ring doorbell and get rid of my expensive robot vacuum and mop. Damnit.

Oh well, I can vacuum and mop by hand.

Fortunately, our Alexa devices are gone, Audible has been cancelled, our Kindles have been replaced, Amazon Prime, Amazon Kids, and Amazon Prime Video subscriptions are cancelled, and I just got my old photos copied down from Amazon Photos yesterday. So, I think I’m good to delete my Amazon account altogether.

I didn’t see thriftbooks on the list, so that’s a relief.

I guess.

Then again, I’m done “having a beer” with these cousin-fuckers, so

My only problem with the “weird” verbiage is that it was far too soft.

The GOP is far beyond “weird” and well into full-blown Fascist territory.

But we wouldn’t want to “alienate” anybody by speaking facts!

The Nuke Reddit History Chrome extension is great for this.

Y’all, stop buying shit from Amazon, completely. That’s where you start.

Bezos has money because we continue to give it to him. So, the first order of business is to simply stop spending money with him.

As in, forever.

Find an alternative vendor, or even schlep on down to a physical store if you need to.

It is the rural areas.

I’m in rural TN, and the Trump cult is embedded deep here.

I get to look out my bedroom window and see Trump flags every morning.

I’d rather my tax dollars be spent on these things, than more cyber trucks or whatever.
