My turn to getcha! Gotcha!

FAMS! Are you mad at me because I predicted Mac would win the dunk contest and you didn’t?

 

[BassPlaya]

I would rather be wrong about predicting a win, than correct about predicting a loss.

I have zero appreciation for anyone being correct about correctly predicting something negative about my team.

You don’t look at things realistically then?

So it’s 82-0 and a championship every season for you then?

Not what he's saying. You hope for the best and then the outcome is what the outcome is. If it's not a good one, there is always next season.

No, those are my predictions. #GetOfFMyCrazyBandwagon!

Many a poster in here loves him/her/their some I-told-you-so moments, or the inverse of I-told-you-so: you-told-me-so but you were wrong! And I get it, you got them! Nice work!

But for the love of god this poster finds it annoying AND embarrassing (b and c above!). Now just *maybe* I've broken protocol by posting this, but all these gotcha posts can fuck off.

And I'm torn because I like many of the posters posting them (yeah I'm talking about you), but sometimes you've got to help those you love and I'm here to help: this is like the repercussions of winning an argument with your spouse, ie sometimes when you win you lose.

In other, other words, and I'm still talking to you gotcha-people, the gotcha! is for you and you alone. I'm going out on a limb that NO ONE thinks more of you when you point such things out...quite to the contrary...

And I know, I know it's a forum, but I can't be alone in this...or can I...?

Hah! I predicted you'd post this thread!

Realistically? Since the outcome is not predetermined, "Being realistic"...is just odds favored "guessing".

I could die tomorrow. That is realistic. I don't live my life reminding myself of that possibility. Who knows......I might live longer than odds say I will. At the very least, I will enjoy the years I do have more because I believed in a happier length of life.

The thing is, you don't have to be right, you just have to think you're right.

I think I'm right therefore I am right ... isn't that what Sartre said?

 

[PCmor7]

tl;dr

 

[BlazerWookee]

I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.

Hard to be wrong when your posts mostly consist of "______, lol"

Don't hate the playa, hate the game.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Why can't I pick e and something else too ?

 

[Mediocre Man]

I’m an odd duck. I have a huge problem with being correct…..on a guess that happens three months from now and shouting how “brilliant” you are to the room.
However, some people legit have knowledge of certain things, and are attacked for it. I have ZERO problem with those people telling other to go fuck themselves

 

[Fairly-Hard]

You were supposed to end this with
BAM!

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

I was soo wrong about Sharpe. Not that he is a bust or anything but i was off the rails with my predictions on him.
Serve me crow. Bam the shit out of me, i don't care…

wait. Not sure that reads how i want it to…

little Mac's competition was mediocre. A Pelican throwing down so so in game dunks, then a giant Knickerbocker shoving his arms in the rim and hanging their like he was stuck and needed to be rescued.
