I noticed I'd been doing the "Not X, but Y" thing. Kinda annoying to keep having to stop myself from doing it.

my brother who never really had much interest in computer games, could always get the high score in any game I was playing eg pinball, racing

I'd spend ages to get a point above his score, and he'd come back and get an even higher one.

I started after channels started removing their own videos because they either didn't think the videos were good enough or they had a mental break and deleted their channel. So good stuff just gone.

A recent one I had was needing to include lifetimes to having to atleast specify the anon lifetime with the underscore. I forget what the actual circumstance was.
