Notes
    gollark: Things winning is often not determined by actual merit but unrelated factors and random chance. This happens a lot in computing, where a terrible standard comes first or is supported by big companies or something, and nobody can ever get everyone to switch.
    gollark: I think it's just the sugar molecules on their own and presumably very concentrated.
    gollark: I agree.
    gollark: It's entirely possible to be consistent here. I would probably not like someone who only talked about their drug use whatever that was, but it's hard to say as I've never actually interacted with any.
    gollark: Saying "drugs are cringe" includes that.
