the more you believe the cubs won't win a world series, the better fan you are. because then when someone is like "hey, i like the cubs, i think they'll win the world series this year," you can be like "oh no, you naive young man, I KNOW the cubs and i have been a fan for a billion years and watched all their games and I KNOW they won't win the world series and that's because i'm smarter than you about the cubs and you don't understand all the suffering i've been through." your self pity gives your life purpose.
