The last couple days here I've had some of the wonkiest lil debates with people with cats clearly wrong about some sh^t. I'll leave out the specific debates & names where one nutty mfer kept trying to move the goalposts on what I said to fit his narrative better & a much more humorous one today with what a "unification fight" is to some other nutty bastard.
But regardless of my specific issues with those people why is it so hard for people to just say "you know what...you might be right...thanks for correcting me"?
I got 26k posts here. I've been wrong a sh^tton about various topics. And upon being proven wrong or just corrected on something I thought was right at first but ultimately wasn't, I usually just say "oh sh^t you're are right, thanks" or give a dude some karma for getting me up to speed on something I was clearly wrong about or not up to date on.
Thats not to say I haven't had opinions disputes with people where neither of us could prove we were right til some future event may or may not take place or perhaps its not something either of us could ever prove we are right.
But thats what I usually try to do when something is provable & I realize I was clearly wrong or mistaken. And I see others who take that approach as well, but its clearly a minority of people who handle things that way.
Why is that a thing most dudes can't do here doe? Why can't dudes just accept being wrong, man up & not defend a bad thing even to the point of making themselves look petty & often times just straight up stupid & instead just move forward with the right info now? Is it some ego sh^t? Do they legit believe they are right? Are they not even able to digest things being broken down to them cuz they are so committed to being personally right over getting the right info? Whats is going on with this silliness my brothers & sissies?
