gollark: Because otherwise sleep will wait forever.

gollark: I'm working on trying to have my process manager support suspending. It *kind of* works, but any "timer" events are eaten up and not fed to the process while it's suspended, so "sleep" just waits forever. How should I solve this? An event queue (could get gigantic fast, so probably not)? Special-casing for "unique" events like timers?

gollark: Great notcompliment!

gollark: Or just animes with an accented e.

gollark: Of course not.I'd say mangae and animeons.
