Cast

gollark: That image has the feet cut off, so he's actually hiding government secrets.
gollark: No, it's from the birdsaren'treal thing.
gollark: At least use lossless compression.
gollark: I mean on the ban *page* it has a "funny" GIF or something. There was that thing with scanning a QR code to log in a while ago which was also made worse by them being unclear.
gollark: It's bad UX to make people have to try and search for useful features. Same with the "fun" messages on bans and whatnot instead of useful usable descriptions.
