I am so tired of having to use flawed tools to achieve a certain goal. Why can't there be a non flawed tool? Often it doesn't exist and then people start cursing. This HN submission is not like that.

I don't like pain and I don't want to encourage others to inflict "self harm" upon themselves just because it's cool.

Has anyone done Vaporwave Bart yet? ;)
