I think Deus sees it less as "enforcing your view upon the workforce" and more as... "enforcing justice upon those who haven't found the path of righteousness"
@BeastlyGerbil I don't think there's anything to remember. I can't absolutely swear to it but I don't think I've ever said (or really even hinted at) my age.
In the regular ASCII, all characters are either digits or symbols that can be typed with Shift + digit on a US keyboard, with the exception of the tilde.
