Segura's Professional Debut. |
gollark: No, a *good* insult is nonsensical and not obviously an insult at all.
gollark: You could hire some Razetimes to work on specific fields I guess.
gollark: No, it is a recipe for agreement, thus good.
gollark: You could form a Razetime Council and dictate all world affairs.
gollark: There would be Razetime messaging apps and Linux distributions and backpacks and laptops.
