This post is somewhat inspired by a recent post in this same community called “Is anyone else having trouble giving up Reddit due to content?”
I imagine “Reddit” will be a common answer. (And it’s one of my answers.)
Another of my answers is “Hasbro.” First Wizards of the Coast (a Hasbro subsidiary) tried to revoke an irrevokable license and screw over basically all 3rd-party publishers of D&D content, then they sent literal mercinaries to threaten one of their customers over an order mixup that wasn’t even the customer’s fault. D&D: Honor Among Thieves and the latest Transformers look really good, but those are within the scope of my boycott, so I won’t be seeing those any time soon.
Third, Microsoft. (Apple too, but then I’ve never bought any Apple devices in my life, so it hardly qualifies as a boycott.) Just because of their penchant for using devices I own against me in every way they can imagine. And for really predatory business practices.
One boycott that I’ve ended was a boycott of Nintendo. I was pissed that they started marketing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (though it didn’t have a name at the time) before the WiiU came out, prompting me to be an early adopter of the WiiU, and then when they actually released BotW, they dual-released it on WiiU and Switch. I slightly eased my boycott when the unpatchable Fusee Gilee vulnerability for the first batch of Switches was discovered. I wanted to get one of the ones I could hack and run homebrew on before they came out with a model that lacked the vulnerability.
Everyone should, imho, have a plastic and a wooden cutting board.
Wood for non meats (basically plant stuff and breads), plastic for meats.
Plastic for meats because, like wood, it doesnt murder the knife edge, and can be put n the dish washer to be sanitized, and is cheap enough to throw away after it gets beaten up to the point that you cant clean all the nooks, crannies and gouges anymore.
You can cut meat on wood boards, but its much more difficult to clean them afterwards since you cant throw them in a dishwasher.
But, if you insist on a wood board, bamboo is a good choice since its more resistant than typical wood cutting boards.
No need for a plastic board if you’re boycotting meat.

Better than glass.
Handwashing doesnt fully clean a wood cutting board after meat. After you hand wash it you gotta spray it down with a sanitizing agent like dilute bleach solution or a vinegar solution, let it sit for several minutes, and then wash it off.
