The Save-On Foods right by my house because they accused me of shoplifting and searched my bag. Used to buy all my groceries there. Now they can bite me.

Have it happen a few times and they find nothing. Then just walk out with a full ham under your shirt and some brisket down your pants...

That's good, talking to plead the fifth while drinking a fifth sounds like a choking hazard

There's an award-winning bakery I flip off every time I go past because once someone was rude to me on their patio about my kids.

Fedora. About 20 years ago I installed Fedora on my spare PC. I don't remember the exact date but I can tell you the Fedora version was Yarrow. Yeah, a long time ago.

Anyways, my Fedora Yarrow installation worked great for less than 2 days. One update and I suddenly didn't have internet. The Fedora maintainers decided to drop the driver for my ethernet card even though that particular hardware had existed for only 3 years. I was furious! WTF are you doing dropping drivers for 3 yo hardware?! Yes I can reinstall the driver but I shouldn't have needed to. Linux has always had a hardware support problem and they were dropping drivers for hardware that wasn't even 5 years old.

I've ran mostly Debian -based distros since and never had a similar problem. And I know that it's petty and even silly after all this time but I'm never touching Fedora again.

I'm never watching another Mission Impossible movie because about ten years ago they advertised one with an annoying "ready or not, here I come" song that played too often on Youtube. Haven't seen a new action movie since. Fuck your genre.

I feel like I'm boycotting half the world for incredibly valid reasons, I ain't looking to add the list if I don't have to. 😂

Never seen any film from that franchise. I know I would be sitting through it constantly muttering "this is a load of bollocks"
