I do not know exactly why or how, but tilting my head in different directions really helps me see, hear, and asses things & situations much better.

Overtime, I noticed that my brain sometimes ignores certain things by default, but tilting my head around resets my brain into noticing them.

For example, my brain often ignores bikes, motorcycles, and pedestrians on the side walk because my brain is always hyper focused on not crashing into the car in front of me or behind me-- but driving with my head cocked in different angles prevents my brain from ignoring them.

I have yet to cause an auto accident in over 20 years of driving because I drive with my head on a swivel like I got a fucking lidar system or something I gotta point in all directions.

I also can hear different pitches and background instruments in music a lot better if I’m swiveling my head around in different angles or if I close my eyes.

When we go to classical music concerts, my boyfriend often tells me I look like those artic foxes hunting for mice under the snow-- like I’m trying to triangulate whatever I’m hearing.

I cannot tell you how or why it works, only that it does for me.

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.
