Megan: Another ISP’s filtering content.

Cueball: Thank God for Crypto.

Megan: You know, I think the crypto community took the wrong side in that fight. We should’ve lobbied to keep it counted as a weapon.

Cueball: Why?

Megan: Once they get complacent, we break out the second amendment

[Cueball has his hand on his chin, contemplatively.]

Cueball: …Damn.
