But people think it's activism to not shop when it should literally just be the default. Get out of the consumerism mindset.

It's wild how much everyone looks like a sucker and a mark once you've been out of the consumer mindset for a few years. You start to see between the lines a lot more and realize how much dumb shit is pushed on people. Buying a new phone every two years made a lot of sense when they doubled processing power and functionality. New flagships though? Forget that, why the hell would I want an AI powered advertisement and tracking machine in my pocket? The non AI powered tracking machine that's 4 years old in my pocket is fucked up enough lol.
