gollark: I want 2019 back. All these disastrous things are ~~quite bad for the economy~~ worrying, and I wonder if this is going to become a general trend.
gollark: I wonder if the establishment would let me change my name legally to include random diacritics.
gollark: I'm hoping it will mostly stop being a problem within a few months. I have exams in... one and a half, though...
