Notes

gollark: Managed to trade for four new reds, yay!
gollark: Wouldn't the real problem be updating them all?
gollark: It's clear that the solution is a generalized programming language for describing group relations and automatically putting things into groups.Seriously, though, how would nested groups help?
gollark: In my opinion the best way would be to allow set operators on groups to form other groups, but you know.
gollark: When TJ09 wills it.
