Demographics
gollark: I think you could probably make it work okay either by, as they suggested, segmenting anime-looking stuff, or creating synthetic screen-y images which either contain anime things somewhere or don't.
gollark: The issue isn't competing standards, really.
gollark: All we can do is watch as our ridiculously fast computers and networks grow ever slower with stacked layers of ridiculous hacks, as dependencies accrete and bizarre increasingly convoluted security problems come with them.
gollark: It could have been controlled, once. But now it's impossible to replace the decades upon decades of legacy design decisions.

Notes
  1. Civil parishes served a variety of government functions until 1966, when the new Municipalities Act stripped them of their responsibilities; they continue to provide convenient boundaries for government uses, especially electoral districts and local service districts. Statistics Canada uses civil parishes as census subdivisions for all parts of the province that are not within municipalities and similar entities.
