gollark: Stop doing that, then? Actually use your best arguments and explain whatever issues you have?(yes, I am somewhat bad about this too, but try to not be or something)
gollark: Humans are animals who decided to give ourselves more ethical weight because of... well, various things, people disagree lots.
