Seriously, Fuck Black Friday. Fuck the weeks before raising prices. Fuck the pretend 75% off of a piece of shit item that costs 5 bucks to make. Fuck making that item and marking it up 500%. Fuck not paying the person making that item a living wage. Fuck making a trinket that leverages a desperate person’s full day of labour away from their families.
There is no Thanks I’m giving here…And specifically a big fucking middle finger to the Amazon that takes lives and makes this world a shittier place.
Save the real Amazon by killing off the namesake corporation.
Fuck you Bezos, I hope your yacht fucking sinks while you and your plastic wife are aboard having botched elective surgeries.

Black Friday is beyond bizarre.
This women I work with gets up at 430 to get in line for the sales.
Great way to ruin thanksgiving.
In Germany there’s a “previous price” button and they’re not allowed to first raise the prices. I just got a sweater I’d been ogling for months for less than half price.
Hey, today’s Buy Nothing Day!
That’s one angry shower.
I would argue to say black Friday is dead. The deals were definitely not that great this year and there is no time crunch anymore since it’s like a whole weekend or week and nobody has money to do that anymore.
It was 99% a lie even at its peak.
Like many other commenters here, I spent the day not shopping, not watching TV (I don’t even own one and haven’t even heard of your favorite streaming services), not listening to any popular music or even the A sides or albums by some bands you’ve never heard of, eating only whole foods that didn’t show any form of suffering during their demise when harvested from the community garden, identifying 2026 candidates to align with (whom I shall never name here lest someone bring up an imperfect act they once failed to adequately denounce), and telling loose acquaintances that I am an ally for their non-traditional romantic entanglements.
Was it Black Friday?
If I didn’t need to buy cough syrup, I wouldn’t have spent a cent today.
Took a walk, sat on a bench, played decade old games, decorated the tree, and ate leftovers.
Living your best life, I see
I needed to pick up sour cream for a dish I was making. It was the store brand, on sale #doorcrasher /s
Yeah I just… Don’t need that much stuff. Most of my money goes to food and shelter.
I used the day to decorate my reusable tree with sentimental ornaments I’ve been collecting my whole life. My kid did about half the work, holiday music was played for ambiance.
I’ve found the bitching about prices going up to present bigger discounts to be mostly not true unless you are just mindlessly buying small cheap shit.
I’ve definitely saved some money shopping today.
Yeah, I know I’m in the minority in the fediverse on this but for the last few months (for some of what I wanted, about 10 months) I’ve kept glancing at a few things that weren’t urgent but would be needed soonish, and now the prices have all come down a good chunk for Black Friday.
I get if you’re randomly scrolling amazon looking for deals, yeah, that’s garbage. But if you’ve been patient, with actual specific ideas…
