It’s a bird, though. It had zero consequences, and a bit of fun. The lesson is don’t be so careful as not to have fun messing with what supports you, as you’ll just fly off to another when it collapses. Which maybe is a metaphor for rich people, like Jared Kushner types that flit from one failure to another but always have lots of money and opportunity.

the post was removed from the instant regret reddit board for implied regret and not obvious, stated regret, which is very very funny to me for some reason. Theres no real way to determine whether a bird regrets its decision or not I guess?
