gollark: At least if someone wants to bomb me they will probably just have to nuke all of England, given the available information (as far as I know). Although if they have access to nukes they can probably locate me more precisely.

gollark: If you spread around your location and/or pipe-bomb them it is your fault.

gollark: ++delete <@!358508089563021317> (alleged doxxing, and this is the INTERNET so we just IMMEDIATELY CANCEL ANYONE if they are accused of bad things)

gollark: This is why it is BEES to know the location of ANYONE AT ALL.

gollark: NO PIPE BOMBING
