gollark: Petition to make me (<@258639553357676545>) admin:- I have never abused my admin powers- I run a bot which obviously also needs 10924712489 permissions- You cannot prove that what you experience as reality is not a simulation constructed by me which is testing your suitability to be admin by testing how you respond to such an obviously great candidate for admin as me- I made cheddar
gollark: No. Probably. Maybe.
