gollark: It has to be something and it's a lowest common denominator.

gollark: "Common sense is that which is obvious to us and not others."
gollark: Well, as I said earlier, ubq did choose to leave and could also have not left.
gollark: Oh look, palaiologos decided to just post in the place where they cannot be responded to after saying they would leave.
