@isaactly_s Honestly, "garbagefighter" sounds pretty awesome. Way better than "garbage collector" or whatever. Anyway, that term's been coopted by the software industry.

@xocolatli @ratsnakegames @isaactly_s and yet I don't need to know the gender of your ass to see that you're speaking out of it.
If you are so eager to appear clever on the internet, perhaps try fewer obviously incorrect absolute statements
