What the, and I cannot overstate this, fuck? -
This post did not contain any content.@VeroniqueB99 I once heard someone with a New Zealand accent say "All hands on deck."

Ever driven the same car or used the same camera or power drill for 8-10 years and thought: "I wish all these buttons and levers were suddenly in different places and did different things"?@ptoothfish Yes, all the time, but I'm left-handed and chronically cranky and I prefer motorcycles.

People often invoke George Orwell when discussing the grim state of the world, but Hans Christian Andersen, with his story about a vain, gullible emperor, and the townsfolk who are too afraid to challenge his stupidity, doesn't get the credit he's due.@Richard_Littler Here's the thing about that story. At the end, when the kid says "He's not wearing any clothes!" and the emperor is momentarily ashamed in front of his subjects, the story just ends.
And, of course, the story ends there because the obvious imperial epilogue would be: "The very next day, the emperor's finest soldiers rode into the village and burned it to the ground, and nobody had the temerity to ever speak of the emperor's new clothes ever again."
