I'm very new to python and programming in general, and I'm looking to make a discord bot that has a lot of hand-written chat lines to randomly pick from and send back to the user.  Making a really huge variable full of a list of sentences seems like a bad idea.  Is there a way that I can store the chatlines on a different file and have the bot pick from the lines in that file?  Or is there anything else that would be better, and how would I do it?
You can store your data in a file, supposedly named response.txt
and retrieve it in the discord bot file as open("response.txt").readlines()
discord.py: too big variable?
