      yeah but like, … it is not hard to find a friend who played with redacteds when they were a kid. delivery systems are way more complicated than… that bit.

      edit: I mean if you were in a shituation were you really had a use for something like this, it wouldn’t be hard to find such a friend, not that it’s that ez during every day life or w/e
