Pantip Plaza is featured in a hit song by Loso, "Pantip", which has a hook chorus, "Ja mai pai Pantip" ("จะไม่ไปพันธุ์ทิพย์" - "(I) will not go to Pantip") and is about a man dating a woman and taking her shopping at World Trade Center, MBK Center, and Siam Square, but he refuses to take her to Pantip Plaza because his ex-girlfriend works there. It is used in many governments' advertising campaigns to promote anti-infringement issues in Thailand.

gollark: I wanted to do something fun with them like give them a HTTP response which never finishes, but sadly the bots seem to have stopped.
gollark: ```<127.0.0.1> 27.121.85.10 [07/Jun/2020:16:59:55 +0000] "POST /cgi-bin/ViewLog.asp HTTP/1.1" 301 169 "-" "B4ckdoor-owned-you"<> 96.69.158.193 [07/Jun/2020:17:19:21 +0000] "POST /boaform/admin/formPing HTTP/1.1" 400 157 "-" "polaris botnet"```Some of the HTTP requests I get are so funny. The second one literally says it's from a botnet.
gollark: Personally I really dislike Go as a language, because it *pretends* to be simple but has weird special cases everywhere to make stuff work and an awful type system, and is generally hostile to abstracting things.
gollark: Python's standard library is *very large* too. `pip` is annoying but has many packages available and there are a lot of builtin ones.
gollark: For generating sensible output, there are better text generation things, but Markov chains have the advantage of being really simple.
