gollark: On my phone.
gollark: On my mobile phone contract I do NOT pay per megabyte *directly*, but I only get 8192MB per month, so I have to use it somewhat carefully and dislike it when sites just try and shove a video or image into the background for no apparent reason.
gollark: The internet connection has been bad. Blame [REDACTED] Telecom.
gollark: osmarks.tk loads some of the time!
