they were as boring and dorky as you would expect and trying to talk to one of them was like talking to a wall. my brother and i drank a lot of his booze though

I had to look that up since I was wondering what they were spending the money on and it turns out wikimedia foundation has 350 employees, lmao

salary expenses in 2018 were $40m which over 350 people averages out to a deece 6.15 figgies per person
