FML!

That I didn't spend more time with my dog before she passed, even though we were together almost every day all day, still doesn't seem like enough.

If it is a "regret" of yours, that means you must have had some control over it. In which situation was his life in your hands?

I gained a ton of weight from stress eating, then I just started overeating sweets for fun. It's gonna be an absolute B when I decide to drop this weight.

I could have upgraded the two remaining 8 GB sticks in my computer, but now I'm stuck at 48 GB and refuse to pay extortionate prices for the full 64.

Procrastinating mold and damp abatement at my place

Also, not being around friends and family more because I got too caught up in being "productive"

You have an interesting definition of regret that I didn't share.

Idk if 2026 specifically but last year I wrongly bought 4TB of storage. I returned it, and that's because it was wrong interface for the specific computer I bought it for. And now I wish I could have kept it for my other computer. Also, impossible to make a a raid for backup.

You can do it. Don't beat yourself up, it would be crazy not to be stressed right now

Maybe not my biggest of 2026, but the biggest one within the last couple of months: I misplaced 64GB of DDR5. I had been saving it since 2023 or so, and I finally was going to put it to use yesterday. I looked everywhere I thought I put it, no dice. I saw it just a few weeks ago. I've got a sinking feeling that I somehow accidentally threw it away. Please kill me.
