In defense of Andrew, until windows 10 never had I ever installed a program that made it’s own files untouchable unless you did some real fuckery with permissions.

As soon as they introduced that little warning screen in program files it was clear shit was going downhill for power users.

I make that same mistake enough that at this point I figure I’m just contributing to the paradigm shift of modern english grammar.

Making the oxford comma mandatory is my next big target.
