Species

gollark: There weren't really combining diacritics pre-unicode.
gollark: I tend to either be excessively paranoid or blindly assume good intentions with little in-between for some reason.
gollark: I actually was able to find this "jmwloup5110" person's LinkedIn account by using the advanced technique of "putting their username into duckduckgo". It looks like they do actually work on... computery things, and not recruiting somehow. This is probably not actually a problem.
gollark: They haven't done any. They just said they were in the air force. Lots of introductions talk about jobs.
gollark: We would probably notice people doing recruitery things anyway. This is pointless.
