Sometimes if you click to “share” a link, it will include more than just the URL, it will turn it into a hyperlink with a text description instead.
Copy and pasting THIS from Tenor will post the image correctly:
https://tenor.com/bbsjo.gif
And then it shows up like this:
But if you copy or “share” the image/webpage/link in some other ways, it will try to paste like a hyperlink instead of a URL and will look like this:
[Friends Monica GIF - Friends Monica Geller - Discover & Share GIFs ](https://tenor.com/bbsjo.gif)
Which shows up like this:
Friends Monica GIF - Friends Monica Geller - Discover & Share GIFs
At least that is what Discourse is saying happened in this case. 
Don’t shoot the messenger.

Skeptical about what?
I am analytical, and a data guy, which is not exactly the same thing. I am often skeptical when something seems baseless with no supporting evidence, or is an isolated case study, and someone is still proclaiming something as a fact or making generalizations or labels out of pure BS, then I try to be skeptical about confirmation bias, Dunning-Kruger effect, etc.
Healthy skepticism is a positive trait. Compulsive cynicism & chronic negativity is not. There is a difference and it’s often confused. Starting from a neutral position is ideal, which doesn’t necessarily mean doubting or believing which is a false dichotomy, but instead setting aside confirmation bias either direction and seeing if there is general supporting evidence for or against it.
Not saying I’m perfect at that, but I do generally try to realign myself back to that state.
Colloquially that might be perceived as pessimism in some circumstances and the opposite in others depending on the observer’s personal interest and own biases.

Poll complicator. I have a rationale for my vote. It may not be valid but I do have a rationale. 
I like the tension/interplay between optimism and skepticism. I think that’s healthy.
