Citation:
Brought off from the picket line, under heavy fire, a comrade who had been shot through both legs.[1]
gollark: I mostly just harvest music from YouTube anyway, via the magic of `youtube-dl`.
gollark: I see.
gollark: You seem to be suggesting that a lack of headphone jacks is fine because I can just carry another device for no non-headphone-jack reason.
gollark: I don't want to carry two devices when my phone has an entirely usable audio player app (and can even do video, and store 128GB of stuff, and that sort of thing), and actually has a headphone jack.
gollark: ... but my phone can play audio fine?
