Watch how people treat the cashier who gets their order wrong or the waiter who forgets a refill. Same energy, different setting. Public shaming is just the online version of making someone perform their regret for you so you can feel powerful for a minute. The people demanding the apology never actually want to hear it, they want to see the person squirm and prove they lost. It's not about fixing anything or learning anything, it's about showing who's got the upper hand in that moment. Your sister got caught in that trap and thinks groveling is the price of admission, but that just teaches everyone that loud outrage wins over honest conversation. You did the right thing by not feeding that machine, even if it cost you some family peace.

Do you actually count the 'extra credit' ones or just pretend they don't exist? I feel like if I added the returns to my count it'd be more like 650 and I'd have to admit I'm not as good as I thought. Honestly though, keeping the number realistic helps you spot when you're getting sloppy on the tricky models.

Keep your eyes open when swimming in tropical waters and you'll be fine.

Yeah but tragic villains are just more interesting. Pure evil is boring.
