gollark: I MAY post this to other platforms, except honestly it is not particularly well-written so things.
gollark: But yes, UK 33333 apiobee and I can't do much about it.
gollark: True, true.
gollark: Oh, it is. I secretly wrote this entire bill. It's N-dimensional chess with 2D multiversal time travel.
gollark: Aren't you in Turkey?
