labelling a button “do not push” is about as effective as screaming “don’t look at me”

being sorry is more about learning why your actions hurt others and taking steps to avoid this in the future. just saying it does not do the trick

That's revolting. You should be ashamed.

box arrives at my door
inside is a small box with a button. A note says in large block letters to never press the button or 1% evil etc
rolls my eyes and grabs my gear to go to work. But sits down. Presses the button many, many times
still pressing

Eventually we wouldn't notice

If you click it enough the counter roles over and is back in good territory
