  That child has been failed by her parents and your father is a predator.

  I’m so sorry for you and for her.

  Gotcha.

  I didn’t think about it that way-- thanks for pointing it out.

  I guess it just infuriates me that anyone even thinks that way.

  Get out of here.

  A teenager should not have to sell her body for financial stability.

  And for power? Power often translates into domestic abuse-- just look at how RFK Jr. drove his wife to suicide by denying her their children by abusing his power.

  And religion? That’s even worse.

  We do not need to be following any rule sets written in times when humans did not comprehend the complexities of human cognition and healthy mental & psychosocial development.

  The only reason you gave that has any merit is that it is recommended that when someone you love is in a victim in an abusive relationship you maintain a positive relationship with the victim so that their abuser cannot isolate them from their support system, which makes the victim more likely to escape an abuse relationship.

  Woosh.

  A simple no-buy for one day boycott led to the way to Prime cancellation.

  More than one, actually. I talked to my sister about it and she ended up cancelling hers as well. A couple of our friends did as well.

  I used to buy a ton of Amazon stuff. Mostly art supplies, pet supplies, clothes, novelties I didn’t need.

  One day, I was browsing Reddit and I was like-- “what is this boycott thing all about?” and then I started by not ordering for one whole day!

  Then one whole week!

  Then one whole month!

  Anyway, I ended up cancelling my Prime subscription, deleting my Amazon account completely, and cancelling my Prime Store credit card.

  Then at work, for Valentine’s Day, we each received a $200 dollar Amazon gift card as an employee appreciation gift.

  I spoke up and said that I would prefer to receive cash or nothing at all because my values did not align with Amazon-- which caused many of my coworkers to decline theirs as well.

  It was so perplexing to leadership, that they decided that going forward they are just going to give us a $200 cash bonus on our paychecks

  So anyways, that’s the impact one of these “pointless” boycott posts had on me.
