gollark: It could just be that the extremes are more visible.

gollark: Apparently, because some unspecified event had occurred two years in a row at the same time for them (???) and because it's "comforting".

gollark: Also people just not caring about truth for some reason. A mere 1.8ish hours ago someone was telling me about why they believed in astrology.

gollark: That seems like more of an argument for mitigating the harms of some service things than just banning somewhat harmful ones entirely.

gollark: AAAAAAAAAA MORE "OR SOMETHING"
