Remember that one stubborn brat back in kindergarten that tried to jam the square peg into the cylindrical hole long after he realized it just wasn’t going to work? Sure, the teacher probably gave him a gold star for his persistence. But all Ms. Crabmuff was doing was encouraging an asshole. There comes a time in life when one has to decide whether they’re being perseverant in the face of adversity… or simply being a dumb asshole. Don’t be the dumb asshole.
