A place where you can rant to your heart's content.
Rules :
- Follow all of Lemmy code of conduct.
- Be respectful to others, even if they're the subject of your rant. Realize that you can be angry at someone without denigrating them.
- Keep it on Topic. Memes about ranting are allowed for now, but will be banned if they start to become more prevalent than actual rants.

I always tell my kids, there's a difference between understanding the influences on your behavior and forgiving the choices you make. You had a bad day and you didn't sleep well and your sister was annoying you? Yeah I understand why you were upset, but that doesn't make it OK to hit her.
Understanding and forgiving are different, and forgiveness comes when you're sorry and try to do better. If you're trying to justify your bad decision, it's like you're asking for an excuse to do it again next time.
