Notes
    gollark: Originally Bill Gates, apparently now the meaning of culling and also of words.
    gollark: If you accept this then any action which reduces future human population in some way is "culling", which is stupid.
    gollark: This is another maybe technically accurate (at an even greater stretch) but ridiculous interpretation. If people don't exist, it is not in fact possible to remove them.
    gollark: This sort of thing makes natural languages quite annoying, but you can help by, well, not picking the most emotionally charged word which "technically matches".
    gollark: If I say "that person is a criminal" you might very well have a worsened opinion of them, even if I know that all they actually did was jaywalking or something. It's technically not *false* to call them that but misleads.
