Distribution

This species is known to occur in a number of countries and islands outside its native range including:

gollark: Maybe with children, sure, as they can't really meaningfully decide very well.
gollark: You seem to be pushing the definitions of "harm" pretty far.
gollark: Tolerating as "you may say/do this" versus "I support you saying/doing this", maybe.
gollark: Okay, "say/do", yes.
gollark: > have any of the ideologies affected by the things facebook/twitter/whatever do been worth a damn?I don't know. Maybe. I just don't exactly want social media companies having vast amounts of power to control public thought just because they're maybe not misusing it much now.
