@LilFluff what if people found out?! what would they say?!

@Siphonay@octodon.social @masklayer I'm slightly more polite, I've got "please" aliased to "sudo !!"

Assange has now apparently reverted to a teenager living in his mom's basement

"I'll let you play on the internet if you clean your room and take care of your pet"
"BUT MOOOOM!"
"and stop leaving nasty comments everywhere, it's not nice"
