Posts that aged well

The BBQ Pit
1

I don’t have an actual example to kick things off, but I thought we could use a counterpoint to the ‘Posts that aged poorly’ thread. I know I’ve seen several posts over time where someone said “I totally called [X] in my [previous post from ‘Y’ date in the past]”.

So here’s a chance to toot your own horn! Or toot it for someone else. Have you been a ‘Nostra-Dope-us’, or know a post where another Doper was one? I think posts such as those in which someone predicted a negative outcome that got push-back, but then the prediction turned out to not only be correct, but the actual outcome was even worse, would count (the iconic example of which might be the Dopers who predicted early on in trump’s Presidency how bad things might get, and others said things like “no, he’ll be normalized or restrained by the checks and balances of the office”. And then…).

As with the ‘aged poorly’ thread, I’m keeping this in the Pit since, despite the more positive slant of the premise, the correct predictions or discussions thereof may likely still involve much anger and invective.

Why would you make a thread you predict will cause “anger and invective”?

Isn’t there enough of that already?

Better suited for M&P. IMO

I’m not predicting, hoping or intending that it will. Just that the subject of any predictive post that aged well may be angry and profanity-laden, so I decided to put it in the Pit, just in case. But I’m hoping, as I stated in the OP, that this will be a more positive counterpoint to the ’ Posts that aged poorly’ thread. There’s a lot of very smart Dopers here fighting ignorance every day, and I’m sure there are a lot of posts that did age well.

Please don’t junior-mod me. If you don’t think this is in the right forum, flag a real mod.
