gollark: What, providing services people are willing to pay for? Ridiculous. And I would need to do payment processing, which would require legal stuff, and making my servers/data actually secure, and it would be annoying.
gollark: Well, that is also worrying, but I really just wanted to take people's money to pay for osmarks.tk hosting and stuff, so meh.
gollark: Interesting. I will add it to the osmarks.tk random facts database.
gollark: So I can take people's money and it's totally legal as long as they don't "physically resist"?
gollark: It is a multiple of 100.
