• I have lived regretting the past

  My Reddit profile is https://www.reddit.com/u/WorldQuestioner. I regret spoiling Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi on https://www.reddit.com/r/ExplainMyDownvotes. It’s been a few years since then, but I feel really bad. I never want to spoil anything in movies.
