The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

If you’re also someone with the same kind of influence and reach potential as this guy, then it’s also worth changing your mind about this

You're not going to change the mind of someone who's looking for attention. If anything - he'll double down.

Also if you need a football player to believe in space for you to believe in it too...

It'll be like the flat earthers who used a $20k laser gyroscope to prove the earth is flat, but instead proved the earth is round. Of course, being consummate morons, they then just ignored it.

Exactly, someone who didn't find their position with logic, won't change it due to logic.
