I'm sure if the mainstream considers a source reputable he'll at least consider it.

two good examples

Ok, I'll show them to him.
I'm looking for relevant onion articles but haven't found any yet.

Well I could've sworn that they had one but maybe I'm just misremembering

Even then why does it matter if someone believes in the globe or not?

Belief can fuel motivations do advance our scientific knowledge

If we are stuck in the Modern Dark Age where we are lied to by NASA and the rest of the space agencies, then how will humanity continue to move forward

I mean I see humanity on an unstoppable downward spiral.

It will only get worse with the more people that believe the lies

explain GPS

boom boom there you go

I'm kind of a optimistic nihilist, I guess just by convincing people I hope I can help the greater world improve.

It won't solve the human condition though. :/

what about in the ocean

Bouys

buoys*

? about them?

What*

Back in November, I got gaslighted and
realized my friends didn't really respect my beliefs

They can be used to transmit signals like radio towers

So now I'm trying to approach them from their pov

@Ryan McCrystal About flat earth?

Yeah

Idk if gaslighted is the right word?

Like they tried to setup a mock debate in our discord group

Maybe not depends though

oh

but it was all rigged

like they got the "impartial people" to laugh at me etc

That kind of happened with me and my friends who are all atheists..

They more so attacked my religious beliefs and me personally. People can be the wort man.

Worst*

Yeah I feel you man

I think that victimization of yourself only proves to them that they are right, not saying you shouldn't feel offended but rather that you should stick by your beliefs until the end

I did, but 5 people tearing your down at a time is rough

Try debating 5 different people who are mocking you and your beliefs.

I know man, it feels bad but they'll come around soon enough

Yeah I only pray that they can see the error in their ways.

Them mocking you only proves that they have insecurities about their own beliefs and that they don't consider their proof to be up to the standard of real scientific credibility
