Ask Lemmy

Hobby Lobby and Chick Fil A — homophobia and weird religious nonsense/political involvement.

• Chipotle, for union busting
• Walgreens, for attempted corporate inversion
• Chik-fil-a, for general Christofascist asshattery
• Hobby Lobby, for general Christofascist asshattery
• Walmart, for general corporate asshattery

I've also been trying to find an Amazon Smile alternative after Amazon killed it earlier this year, but haven't had any success yet.

Nestle Apple EA

There’s so many. Oreo changed their cream filling and you can see they only fill the rows by like 2/3 now Ebay (I honestly don’t know anyone who hasn’t had problems on the platform how are they still in business?) When I was a teen, my manager at dominoes fired me after I caught him stealing my tips. I wont even eat free dominoes

McD.

20 or so years ago I had several bad experiences back to back in different restaurants, and I just decided to not go there anymore.

And EA. Fuck them

Apple and Microsoft will never get my money. So i don't use any MS and Apple products. Apple products are for fools who have no brain.

EA, Ubisoft, Activision/Blizzard, Netflix and any streaming service, LG

Home Depot (they helped found autism speaks),

nestle,

Walmart,

Warner Discovery,

Anything homophobic/transphobic,

anything that supports Trump,

any company that supports autism speaks,

Seagate, it let me down too many times

BP. Obvious reasoning.

All of those shitty Big Tech companies including Apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, Oracle and many others, all corporate Social Media platforms (including Reddit of course, fuck Spez), those shitty Hollywood media corporations, CDNs like Cloudflare or Akamai, Tesla and everything related to Elon Musk, Starbucks, basically all fast food chains, every Chinese or Russian company, every Israeli company, The Coca-Cola Company, PepsiCo, Nestle and many others. I also try to stay away from PayPal, banks and insurance companies as much as possible, they are criminals.

We shouldn't just focus on shitty companies. Foundations like the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation are basically tax-exempt billionaire investment funds in disguise. This is a great video about the lies of billionaire philanthropy: https://youtube.com/watch?v=OH4uh8cHuto

Burger king.a few years ago i went through the drive through to get my little sister a milkshake. Machine down, okay what about an ice cream? Oh thats down too. " i didnt know I came to McDonald's" dude over the menu laughed.... but then this big ole cunt of a manager comes yelling at me to leave their property! I dont remember what all was said but it ended with me yelling back at her "fuck you, you dont just come screaming at people over a joke. YOU FAT BITCH!" Then i went to a McDonald's and told their drivethrough lady and got free ice cream while they laughed. And i havent been back since.

Spotify & pretty much most music streaming services. I buy all my music directly from the artist whenever possible....

Amazon, PayPal, Google. Did I say PayPal? Oh, right and don’t forget PayPal.

EA, Ubisoft, ActiBlizz. All for their various flavours of greedy nasty and/or sexual abuse. Bethesda is honestly likely to go on the list soon as well.

Chick-fil-A. Hobby Lobby. DeviantArt/Wix (any Israeli company, in fact, until Palestine is free).

I'm going to go classic and name a company that personally wronged me: Noodles & Co. I used to work in a mall and every single restaurant in the mall had a mall employee discount. It was usually a token discount between 5-10% but still it made a difference on your lunch break during an 8 hour shift. Noodles & Co. had no discounts for mall employees and one time I found a hair in my food there. It's petty but since then I have never returned to that restaurant
