Notes

    gollark: We have buildings other than generic grey cubes, because despite beauty not really being a rational thing to care about in pursuit of common goals (other than just "happiness" or whatever), *people care*.
    gollark: Many things are irrational, and yet people are still care about that.
    gollark: You still didn't send me your browser history.
    gollark: Well, there's the possibility of blackmail in some cases, and generally just people do not like that. For example, most would not really want to use a toilet in a glass cube in the middle of a public square.
