    Although it may feel like it at times this is just wrong. Everybody deserves second chances. Doesn’t mean you get off Scott free, though.

      Every single minute of every single day, these pieces of shit choose to continue being pieces of shit. Fuck second chances… they’re on like their 480,000th chance by now. And they’re still doubling down on being pieces of shit. At some point, you just have to realize that they’re not going to redeem themselves.

        Yeah. People need to stop harmful behavior. But no one is incapable of change or beyond redemption.
