gollark: There seems to be horrible lag around the drops now.
gollark: That's a good quote.
gollark: First they came for the song-lyric people, and I did not speak out, because I did not post song lyrics.Then they came for the linkers, and I did not speak out, because I did not post links.Then they came for the people asking for an offer they accidentally declined, and I did not speak out, because I did not ask for offers I accidentally declined.Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
gollark: Replace "socialist", "trade unionist", "Jew" etc with "person who does X, Y, Z".
