gollark: This is ridiculous. The HTML standard is too complicated and has too many weird edge cases. I'll just make my markdown thing ignore HTML or treat it as normal text.
gollark: Why?
gollark: Well, you complain a lot about your country and money and stuff, which wouldn't really matter much to a world leader.
gollark: If you know an omniscient god, though, why are you not world leader?
