It is difficult for me to know how to feel. I cannot decide whether the happiness of others is more important than my own. I don't know where pride ends and pettiness begins. Where the sands of ownership creep beneath the ocean of community.
These are questions I ought to answer on my own time before I claim any more of yours. Today is the day Marty McFly traveled to in the film Back to the Future Part II.

There's your source. I suppose I wasn't important enough to listen to. I guess there's nothing you could learn from this old sack of bones.
But I tried to tell you. I really did. I have been telling you, for years, that Marty McFly traveled in time to today's date.
And now, all of you who doubted me must be held to account.

back to the future fans, help! i saw on facebook that marty traveled in time to today’s date … is this accurate, or just another hoax
— Jon Bois (@jon_bois) October 12, 2015
That's correct! It's good to check for hoaxes, though. There are hoaxes all over the Web.
:format(webp):no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/4184791/marty21.0.png)
Wrong. And what is that Snopes site everyone keeps sending me? I'm trying to click on that right now but you're just a screencap so it doesn't do anything. Well, whatever.
:format(webp):no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/4184795/marty22.0.png)
Wrong. You shouldn't be so dismissive of others if you're the one who's wrong.

Correct!
:format(webp):no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/4184823/marty26.0.png)
Ah yeah, thank you, man. Thanks for the better proof.
I am careful to celebrate my vindication without celebrating the wrongness of others. That isn't a thing to celebrate. We're allowed to be wrong. I cannot, however, help but resent you. I spoke the truth and you beat me down at every turn.
Marty McFly traveled in time to today's date.
