        It is a negative slang word for a big corporation or someone working for one from the cyberpunk video game “Cyberpunk 2077” by CD Project Red.

              I dont agree, because that is to general for me. My local Corporations have excellent working conditions. Of coirse there are some bad.

              i talked with an extended family member who doesnt speak english as L1 and said “brain drain”.

              he mockingly said it after me. lol so from now on i will lessen my usage of american words. (not brain drain but the new ones they invent over there…)

              the US-americans are in our Heads, banish them

              a bit overstated but still true. i read too much english anyway.

    Was done with Amazon in November. Save literally hundreds a month because of it. Now I shop local, get my purchase immediately same price no shipping fee, get to flirt with the cutie behind the counter, and the profit stays in my community instead of going to Trump and other billionaires.

    I’ve reduced my Amazon usage over the last years to almost zero. There are so many better specialized shops available, it’s not even a competition.

    I’m almost completely done with them. Does anyone know a good place online where I can order reasonably priced cases of sardines, Ocelo Scrunges, and Nitrile Gloves?

    Canceled my Prime years ago and haven’t used it much since. Current events aside it’s just dogshit as far as online marketplaces go.

    This likely won’t stick, unless Walmart is supported more.

    Gone are the days of going store to store to store to store to find the stuff you want/need. In addition, half the stores are now gone so you can’t do that anyway.

    I’d love to see this happen, but I’m skeptical given Amazon’s present near monopoly on shopping.
