Apparently Facebook doesn't know what to do when you upload a GIF that is not animated -- just a single image.
Animation wasn't even added until GIF89a! The main Discord channel I haunt also disallows GIFs wholesale -- to avoid animated GIFs any *.GIF file is trashed.
Is this what the human race has come to?

"Remorse we can feel. Regret is what we live. But consequence is what lingers" - Futurist Jim Carroll
Let's talk about the science of regret.
I mean, why not?
It seems like a timely topic.
And I've most recently covered The Science of Stupidity and The Science of Mistakes.
So why not The Science of Regret?
I'm on a roll here. Buyers remorse and all that.
What should we know about regret? What should we understand about its nature, impact, and how our brains process it? After all, we might find ourselves around people (at this moment in time, in particular) who are deep in their emotions of regret, and are now thinking about the consequences.
First, what is the definition and nature of regret? I asked Google Notebook after pulling in a large number of articles and YouTube videos related to the science of regret.
"Regret is a negative emotion stemming from a disappointing life event, unchangeable choices, or things said that can't be taken back. It is a painful experience that includes blaming ourselves for a bad outcome.
Ok, that makes sense.
It went on:
- It's a complex emotion involving sorrow and responsibility for the consequences of one's actions.
- Regret is related to choice; it is felt when a wrong decision is made and one wishes they had decided differently.
- Feelings of regret show increased activity in the medial orbitofrontal cortex of the brain.
OK, since it might seem there is some regret unfolding around some areas of the world right now, faster than ever before, what can we understand about the emotions of those who are going through it? The answer is ... um ... interesting.
How Regret Differs From Other Emotions:
- Regret involves comparison and blame, differing from disappointment, which lacks the element of personal fault.
- While guilt is responsibility for specific wrongdoing and shame is a feeling of being flawed, regret combines elements of both, along with a desire to rectify harm.
...along with a desire to rectify harm... that sounds promising.
But wait. There's a lot more about the science of regret that might help you understand today's world.

Don't regret anything in life. If it's good, it's wonderful. If it's bad, it's experience! When you win, you win. When you lose, you learn.

Random aside: My coworkers and I triage an average of 50 to 150 customer feedback tickets per day.
Sentiment ranges from "love the product" praise, to borderline verbal abuse. One in particular stuck in my mind. Paraphrased, it went like this.
> "You should stop programming and flip burgers instead."
In fact, I was actually quite good at flipping burgers. At 18 years old, I was on track to become an assistant restaurant manager at Hardee's.
But life took a different turn. I pivoted to being a lifeguard and swim instructor. Then eventually meandered into tech as a career.
Alas, what might have been.

Today I will go to Quadra Island. To remember my sister. To spend time with grief, and regret.
I am a little afraid. Even so, I will make my pilgrimage and sit with these feelings. And, be grateful that at this time in my life I am not so afraid that I hide from life, and love.

The joy of the holidays is bittersweet for this #gay man. While I cherish family #Christmas memories, I can’t help but wonder how different things might have been if I had shared my true self with all of them.

I posted something for #tunetuesday early this morning. I think enough time has passed for me to post another one, though it feels like that's against the rules.
It's not a surprise. It's Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah.

For me, there is no other version. It's the crushing anthem of two marriages, both of which I was completely committed to, both of which I was ready to die for and live for. Both of them ended badly, in different ways. Both of them were wrapped up in Judeo-Christian religion, especially because I was religious throughout the first one and for most of the second.
This is on some playlists, but I can't take it, most days. It pulls ugly, painful sobs out of me. It wrecks me.
