gollark: If people *actually* didn't mention anything unless someone explicitly asked for it, conversations would basically just be about one topic, and very boring and brief.
gollark: I didn't ask whether you asked. "Who asked" embodies an entirely unreasonable standard which nobody applies except to make some sort of ridiculous point - which is good, since if it *were* something people genuinely stuck to, it would kill off all conversation ever.
gollark: You do realise that most home internet connections - including mine - are on dynamic IPs?
gollark: At least I have my ~26 alts.
gollark: I would vote against this, but I can't actually add reactions.
