Most people go to the supermarket and buy cruelty, torture, violence, atrocity, and slavery.
Alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, Hulu, Netflix, Xbox, PlayStation, Disney+, HBO, Tesla vehicles, dating apps,
Any paid subscription which doesn't either
a) Save me money, eg Amazon prime (although someone else in my family has Prime so if I need something from Amazon I just use their account) b) Do something I can't setup myself
And especially no subscriptions which give me the licenses to digital media, without hardware, eg xbox or netlfix
for amazon i think, it makes sense if one buys a lot of small things for some reason online,
but like otherwise often it is possible to buy from the website of the product company directly with free shipping (if one orders enough)
and i feel like every money amazon does not get is good
Hair product. I use a bar of Irish Spring for everything.
I have done that in a pinch but disliked how it made my hair feel. For me, shampoo bars are a good compromise because the feel/smell nice but one bar lasts me like, a year.
Jarred tomato sauce. It’s one of the easiest things to make and every jarred sauce I have ever had tasted like shit
Digital media. It's too easy to pirate. There's no reason not to other than being a good boy. The only way I could see myself going legit is if they started to make really good public digital libraries and I could download anything I wanted from a single source with a library card of some kind. The exception to this would be online games but the ones I like to play happen to be free lol.
