I look at the sky and there are buttocks everywhere. In the immediate moments after installation, I suddenly found myself floating in the void. Existence had no meaning because reality had no meaning. In this darkness, I found a kind of formless peace that was shattered soon enough by a stormbutt of extraordinary proportions. Death had no meaning, but I was forced into life, a life that remained divorced from reality, but lived beside it.&lt;p&gt;Others were alarmed and concerned and disturbed by this, but I chose (if choice can have meaning under these circumstances) to not live my life under a butt, even if it meant that I must have my head in the butts.</text></comment>

No work environment should be allowing use of non-business critical extensions which tamper with web content.&lt;p&gt;(PS. If you work anywhere that allows arbitrary Chrome extensions, I hope your cyber incident insurance is up to date!)&lt;p&gt;Browser extensions have incredibly privileged access to your post-decryption web content, and if you can install cloud-to-butt, you should assume your environment is already compromised.</text></comment>
