Awards

The following awards are given out by DGLR for outstanding contributions:

gollark: A plausible explanation I heard about the whole thing is that the Navy was assuming that it wouldn't go away for a while, and that the people on their ships were not very at risk of bad symptoms but also likely to get infected in large numbers and couldn't really be pulled out of service.
gollark: I too enjoy dying from easily preventable diseases.
gollark: Also,> The Calusa had a stratified society, consisting of "commoners" and "nobles" in Spanish terms. A few leaders governed the tribe. They were supported by the labor of the majority of the Calusa.
gollark: I really do not think anarchoprimitivism is a good idea.
gollark: Who are they, and... how exactly?
