In Nova Scotia, we're selling off the leftover US booze and using the money to fund food banks. I'm sorry my US friends, love you but you have no idea how stubborn we are on this side of the border. We're not buying your stuff.
Some of the U.S. booze pulled off Liquor Mart shelves last winter was offered to help people struggling with alcohol addiction.

I've been on an anti-consumerism kick for so long, buying secondhand, mending things, just doing without stuff I don't regard as necessary, I'm regularly shocked how much things actually cost. My immersion blender broke last night, in soup season ffs. I've only had it 8 years, and use it constantly

As a corollary to this: there are a lot of artists who will black-list you from BUYING art if you have AI slop in your profile. Seeing AI is an instant, immediate red flag for most artists because it's a signal that you do not respect artists (yes, that includes using it "until I can get real art").
Just so you know...
Art directors, Art enjoyers, Art buyers and Artists talk with each other. Nobody wants AI slop, specially when there is real art out there as an alternative. You can totally get blacklisted, not only on the industry, but inside fandoms for defending AI precarization and theft.
