    This might be the first and last time I ever see "get girls" be directly the next step after writing code. Seems to be a bit of a non-sequitor.

    Standing up to a bully and getting hurt is better than just rolling over. Even if you lose, you still stood up to him. And that's worth something.

    Unless you are in the areas where you end up getting gunned down as a result.
