Apple & Meta. I try to boycott Amazon in lieu of other online sellers but I don't always succeed. All non-union Starbucks. The latter is the one that has impacted my life the most because I used to spend my days studying at Starbucks. I Struggle to focus and concentrate on formal work of any kind while at home. We do have two unionized locations in town. They usually don't have any sitting room left, though because they are so close to the university campus.

Microsoft and Lenovo
I'm not that familiar with them; why Lenovo?
I avoid Nemix RAM, because the first time I bought a bunch of sticks from them, they had an 18% failure rate. I paid to ship the bad sticks back, and they sent me more bad sticks. Nemix said they worked fine, so I sent them the Memtest screenshot with all the errors. They didnβt want to pay shipping to replace them again, so I just returned them and got some Micron RAM, and itβs been working perfectly.
Late to the apparent party but Phillip Morris . They own a shitton of food and pot licences.
Sony
Epic Games until they continue developing UT4. Motherfuckers.
I try to avoid all the brands that still work in russia because I don't want to fund the terrorist state
Adidas. McDonald's. Starbucks.
Coca-Cola, NestlΓ©, Starbucks.
Tesla, Red Bull, Believe Music, Microsoft, Samsung, so many more I canβt think of right now
Coca-Cola, Apple, Samsung, HP.
My alternatives are none (water & coffee only), Android (OnePlus specifically for phones), LG/Toshiba for consumer electronics, Brother for printers and Dell or Lenovo for laptops.
Edit: Oh yeah and Tesla, not only because of Musk, I simply don't want to drive a tablet on wheels. I'm going for low-tech cars only. Some barebones Kia, Hyundai or Dacia.
Bad dragon, my tiny rose petal still gets sore on rainy days
Walmart, Amazon, Blizzard, EA, Apple, McDonalds, Then some of the mega brands when I can avoid them like Unilever, General Mills, etc
