Notes
gollark: I consider myself an atheist, since even though don't *know* there isn't a god, that doesn't mean I'm going to treat it as "well, maaaaaaybe" when the general policy for poorly evidenced claims is just to say "no".
gollark: Is not an organism, except by very stretched definitions which admit stars and such.
gollark: Troubling.
gollark: To be fair to the UK, we *do* have the whole "much more contagious variant" thing going on.
gollark: Yes, this would also work.
