gollark: You apparently care enough to say "HAHAHA I DO NOT CARE ABOUT PRIVACY" on Discord for several decaminutes, but *not* to spend five installing firefox?

gollark: Well, that's unlikely.
gollark: I mean, I expect to live for a while, maybe we'll have some way to work around stupid stuff like "aging" before I would otherwise die.
gollark: OR IS IT?
