Do What I Say, Not What Is Safe

Trying to delete a branch with git branch -d only to get that passive-aggressive "not fully merged" error is like Git saying "I'm protecting you from yourself." So what do we do? Yell at Git and use the capital -D flag because WE'RE THE BOSS HERE. Git's safety mechanisms are cute until you've spent 8 hours debugging merge conflicts and just want that feature branch gone from your life forever.
