Hey, I recognize you from this comment! You flipped that switch so many decades ago, ruining everything I had worked so hard for. I'll always remember.
Those lost 50KB of work will forever be etched into my mind. Quite literally: the second I get my hands on a 30TB neurolink you bet your goddam ass I'm making a 50KB text file with your name on repeat, so that I'll always hear your name echo in my thoughts.
