Age regression

Age regression is when someone has the mentality of a younger age than their genuine age. This could happen involuntary due to (childhood) trauma and/or a brain injury/damage. Or voluntary as a coping mechanism and way of relaxation. Common signs in kids include a little-age between 1 and 3, thumb sucking, crawling, etc. Common signs in teens include a little-age of 1-12, gibberish or pitched voice, sensitiveness, interest for things meant for kids, etc. Common signs in adults could include a little-age of 1-20, any of the called symptoms depending on age, etc. Adults could also be regressed back to their teenage years instead of their childhood. The younger someone’s mentality is drifted, the more they are in need of a caregiver (to be taken care of).
“Tommy is five, why is he still sucking his thumb?”
“His parents are divorced. He is acting like a baby because it has put a lot of stress on him.”

“Why does that boy act so childish?”
“He has the mentality of an 11 year old due to childhood trauma, because he got bullied in his past. It is called age regression, he is basically regressing.”

regretflix

A Netflix movie that you forgot was in your queue and wish you hadn’t ordered. Can be used to describe the movie or that let-down feeling you get when you open the Netflix envelope. A regretflix often sits in your house for weeks because you don’t want to watch it, but feel guilty returning it without watching it. You can’t get a better movie until you return it though, making the pang of regretflix even more agonizing.
I got a Regretflix in the mail today. Dude, "I Know Who Killed Me?" What was I thinking?

I’m feeling regretflix for ordering "The Constant Gardener" (insert other serious movie you THINK you should watch but don't really want to...)

"I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry" is totally a potential Regretflix, but I'm putting it in my queue anyway.

Regressive Left

Originally coined by conservatives hoping to delegitimize leftist opinions, the regressive left is composed of the more negative aspects of far left political opinions, specifically in such a manner that frowns upon critical thinking in favor of dogmatic thinking. Train of thought most often associated with Social Justice Warriors. Opposite on the political spectrum from the Regressive Right.

Such examples include sexism against men by virtue of their gender, racism against white people by virtue of their skin color, granting power to minority candidates by virtue of their minority status, placing minority citizenship above majority citizenship as opposed to wanted them to be equal, Islamic apologetics, using privilege as a detriment of worth regardless of context, etc.
Some on the Regressive Left believe that black people are entitled to reparations from white people, regardless of personal history for either, because one person's ancestors wronged another person's ancestors.

regrets

1) The things you have done in the past that you wish you had done differently.
2) The chances you wish you had taken.
3) The things you have done in the past that you wish you hadn't done.

Something to consider when in a situation you think you might regret in the future:
If you do it you’ll regret it,
If you don’t do it you’ll regret it, Either way your going to regret it,
So you might as well just do it
1) Why did i have to get THAT drunk??
2) I should have said yes when he asked me back to his room.
3) Why did i get involved with him?!

I've used examples which relate to my life and which i've had regrets about. Regrets aren't always about relationships though.

infinite regress

a fallacy in which the argument proposes an explanation, but the mechanism proposed stands just as much in need of explanation as the original fact to be explained — and indeed it stands in need of the same kind of explanation. so it is tempting to apply the explanation to itself.
given the wordcosmological argument/word, the universe must have a beginning. the notion that the universe's origin came about by the random forming of particles in space, there must have been something to first put those particles there. whatever that something is, it must exist outside of time and always exist, lest you get into a series of arguments going further and further back until you have infinite regress.

example: the being 'linda' created all the particles that formed the earth, but who created linda? the being 'bill' created linda, but who created bill? etc. the argument goes on forever until there is a beginning, which was initially required according to the wordcosmological argument/word.

Karen is such a regressive, she refuses to vaccinate her kids because she thinks it will make them autistic.
