  • Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen: bass
gollark: I don't mean CCTV, although that's a problem, I mean interweb data gathering.
gollark: It's all very secretive, so it's hard to actually do much with it, and in the US the NSA blatantly violates laws and gets their stuff retroactively allowed.

gollark: Education that prepares you for BEES prepares you for life, by that sort of logic.
gollark: A very small one, though.
