A lot sadly. Remember, while we're "at the front" and almost a few weeks ahead of everyone else in knowing what's going on. The vast majority of people get their news hand picked, or live in information bubbles.
I'll bet that every person that has read the top 50 comments here, knows of a case where they told someone something that was true, to another person who claimed otherwise. Only to be proven right a few weeks later. The other person OTOH, never said "well shit, I guess you were right." They ignored having to acknowledge they were wrong.
I have a friend who does this shit and it drives me mad. Dude absolutely refuses to admit being wrong about the smallest things. The level of mental gymnastics I've seen from him still confounds me to this day. Would be fascinating if it wasn't so sad.
It depends. Some friends can have significant character flaws and still be good friends otherwise. It depends how he treats him overall. Not wanting to admit you're wrong is a relatively common flaw.
One of my ex's was the same way, even if you could prove to her right in front of her that what she was saying was a lie. She'd refuse to believe it. GTFO of that relationship sure as hell saved me though, especially since she's a hardcore SJW now.
Best of luck with your friend though, hope that'll survive at least.
I sometimes feel like if you aren't red-pilled yet, what will it take?
Right?
Suppositories. Massive suppositories. Suppositories so big their wives' bulls will feel inadequate looking at them.
This is my take. It's been 4 years...

He's not a friend. Sorry to break that to you.

Damn.. These are the cold hard comments I come here for.

I appreciate it. He's a pretty cool dude outside of the whole refusing to be wrong thing. Maybe there's hope that he'll grow up, maybe not.
a suppository!
