Easier, now that all the libraries have had their funding slashed.

I've said that to my son, who when overhearing me tell someone 'you're an absolute bellend' repeated it later on to his mum.

I said this in an angry letter to the theatre critic who panned my subtly allegorical off-Broadway play, "To Say That".

When I was a teenager, I once shouted at my parents "YOU DON'T KNOW ME!" and realised instantly that I had branded myself the eternal twat.

Just one Pepsi.

Honestly.

A few weeks ago, for the first and only time in my life, I had the chance to say: "I'm not a professional," just like the IT guy from The Office.

Doubt if it'll ever happen again but it was a glorious moment.

YOU DONT GET TO SAY THAT was a killshot on social justice blogs in 2008

Was walking down the street one day when I heard an overwrought teenager tell her parent, over the phone, "YOU'RE DESTROYING MY LIFE!"

As a professional computer wanker I've been working on replacing 'allow/deny' -list instead of saying 'black/white' - list, I don't feel strongly about it and am not sure if the etymology is even a throughline but also why not?

I don't think I ever used 'master/slave' to describe software/electronic stuff as 'primary/secondary' was quite common parlance in consumer stuff (like bios screens) before I got involved.

Version control systems use 'master' to refer to the origin and github famously changed that to 'main'. I always assumed it was more of an 'origin' like a master recording - I never considered fork/working branches 'slaves' but the more I think about it, the more it seems like they implicitly are, so fair enough, no need to fight it.

This wasn't a IT thing. I have basic knowledge of how to operate a computer but I'm no expert. But it was something I've never done before (on an amateur level) but apparently did so well that others thought I was experienced in it. But part of the reason is that I ended up working with people on the exact same wavelength as me and we all ended up making each other look good. Fantastic bit of teamwork. Dunno if it'll happen again but I will be working with the same people again at some point in the future. So we shall see.

I know, was leaving a bread-trail/weaving from your mention of something to something that jump-started a line of thinking resulting in something else I had to say

Yip. It's fine by me though. I learned a couple of things from your post so it's all good.
