People who say stuff like "well I never did ____ again!" are totally missing the point. It's like... say you want to get rid of a ton of batteries. Yes, you could throw them in your trash, and assuming they aren't really big/heavy enough to be noticeable, they will get hauled away to the landfill, and you will have gotten rid of your batteries from your point of view, but that doesn't make that the right way to go about it. Nor is it the only way to go about it. Ancillary consequences exist even if you aren't easily able to see them.

I appreciate that some people here who went through that have a perspective that it's not something to perpetuate. Some obviously don't. But I think it's telling that nobody is ever like "man my parents made a big mistake not beating me!". Just don't do it, for fuck's sake.
