Not buying anything for one (1) day is basically fucking meaningless because the American consumer isn't really a political force that can be levied in this way. Sure, the consumer economy exists and can be shown to have noticeable dents in certain industries on certain holidays (Candy suppliers on Halloween for instance), the Stock Market is a confidence game built on speculation, and is resistant to these kinds of boycotts.
What really matters is the Business Economy. Bulk orders of material, rents collected on occupied office buildings and warehouses, profit generated by surplus labor value. This is the heavy-hitter stuff. If every single shipment of say, concrete, or perhaps printer paper, got delayed for even a day, it would be chaos. If entire sectors of industry went on strike simultaneously, wall street would begin collapsing.
Amazon does not make money from you, the consumer, purchasing things, Amazon makes money from businesses using it as a supply depot, and from Amazon Web Services collecting fractions of a cent on such an unbelievable amount of web traffic that it adds up to billions of dollars.
You want a boycott that lasts? You want a boycott that hurts? Organize your fucking workplace. Sabotage your shipping and receiving department. "Accidentally" destroy crates of product. You have more power than you realize.

dating a princessgirl is great until she exercises unilateral authority to keep snuggling you instead of letting you get up

do you like andrew hussie? their early work was a little too juvenile for my tastes. but when whistles the starlight calliope came out in '05, i think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. the whole comic has a clear crisp art style and a new sheen of consumate professionalism that really gives the narrative a big boost. they've been compared to ryan north, but i think hussie has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. in '07, hussie released this: mspaintadventures.com ; their most accomplished site. i think their undisputed masterpiece is "homestuck" a story so vast that most people probably don't read the words. but they should, because it's not just about coming of age and finding friends in unlikely places. it's also a personal statement about the author themself.

disgraceful officiating by michael oliver (home address: St. Peters Road, WALLSEND, NE28 7BF) but really we lost focus and composure in the buildup to both everton goals

things liverpool should do when the ref gives them a corner:
1. decline. just say no thank you
2. tell the opposing team to close their eyes
3. start kissing each other (might distract the other team)
