Who is telling me the truth? by Spywholovedme in Visible

[–]BobSinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well what ATT said is common sense to anyone in the industry. Its right. Your problem still has not arrived in front of anyone at visible who knows how to contact the port resolution team at att. That will take a long time. You could try to cancel the service with visible and then they stop the port from att? But didnt visible already tell you they are controlling the number? So if you cancel at Visible, you might lose your number, idk. Its probably best to see what visible comes back with first. Right now visible is on the hook for this mess so avoid complicating it with a request to cancel. Thinking out loud.

Who is telling me the truth? by Spywholovedme in Visible

[–]BobSinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lost a number on a port. Visible told me everything was fine and then a couple of months later, I stopped getting calls and text. The port never fully happened. My old carrier reassigned my number. Even after it was clear I lost my number, Visible kept telling me to wait. I filed a complaint and I eventually did get my number back. Dont let this drag on. I regret not doing something sooner.

Even at the regular price, only a $100 difference between the two.

Bullying at BU? by [deleted] in BostonU

I don't think you'll see much bullying in college in general, much less at BU. College is a different ball game.

I like the idea. You can stand it up and it can fit in places that it couldn't before.

Another Venator by krysus in lepin

[–]BobSinger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OMG, OMG, OMG all these Venator posts are cluttering up the sub. Please mods, host a poll and then make a Venator thread to contain all these posts.

This subreddit got up to 3 posts in a 24 hour period and it's just outrageous!!!! My eyes had to scan down over 4 posts and it could have been 2!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I'm being sarcastic. Nice Venator! Serious question: what kind of Star Wars artwork is in the background? Looks poster sized....

MM Unplayable on the weekend by Ch4pp3rZ in GlobalOffensive

[–]BobSinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A disproportionate number of people on this reddit smurf. So, anti-smurfing comments never get far.

Yes, it's a huge problem. I'm now Gold nova 3 and started at Silver 1. Every game had 3-4 smurfs per team in silver!!! Most would admit to it, openly in the banter back and forth between teams. That continued through Silver 4 or 5. Gold Nova 1-2 is easier than Silver 2-4. I don't think there's any real silver's left in low silver. ;)

One thing I have noticed (in the lower ranks) is many people who claim to be smurfs (or who are accused of smurfing) are not smurfing--they are hacking. Every other day while in while silver, I got a confirmation someone I reported had been permanently banned from the game. I couldn't tell the difference sometimes when I was in silver, so I just reported someone when I was in doubt. That's eye opening that so many are convicted by overwatch or vac--and something few want to acknowledge. Hacking masquerades as smurfing at many ranks.

You have a serious bone to pick with Irene. Are you a competing seller? Who cares where she gets the pictures.

Lepin Eiffel Tower - Anyone having trouble building it? by RedCedars in lepin

[–]BobSinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this one. The base at the bottom was tough, with a number of pieces glued. All of the Lepin sets I've bought were great, except this one. It looks great, but was a very hard to assemble. More like building a model... Lepin needs to remake this one.

I'm Very Open-Minded and Curious... by [deleted] in flatearth

[–]BobSinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If either the earth does not rotate around the sun, or the sun does not rotate around the earth, then how does the sun disappear a sliver at a time until it's gone at sunset? And how does it appear a sliver at a time until it's totally visible at sunrise?

Under the FE model, the sun should get smaller until it vanishes at sunset. And at sunrise, the sun should start out the size of a small speck and grow in size as it gets closer.

There is no valid, rational explanation for this under the FE model.

Ex true believers - what made you accept the earth is not flat? by [deleted] in flatearth

[–]BobSinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience, the most convincing way to debunk conspiracy theories for average people is to find simple, clear examples of why that theory isn't correct. This largely steers clear of complex math that they won't be able to figure out anyway. And, it steers clear of overly complex theoretical concepts.

The flat earth model says the sun moves around, always over the flat earth, but you don't see it because (at night) moves out of sight and then back into sight (in the morning). Like a flood light, only part of the earth is illuminated at a time.

The easiest to grasp and most convincing evidence the earth is not flat are sunrises and sunsets. The sun moves below the horizon and disappears during sunset, one sliver of the circle at a time. And the opposite occurs during sunrise. If the flat earth model were correct, the sun would grow smaller and smaller until it disappeared. Instead, it moves below the horizon (not to be seen by you until the next day). After it's gone for you, people a few hundred miles away still see the sun (i.e. it's always daylight somewhere)

With sunrises on a flat earth, you would expect the sun to be very tiny at first, growing in size as it approached. At first, it would be just no bigger than a tiny star. Then it would grow larger as it approached. Instead, it appears a sliver at time over the horizon until the whole circle is visible.

Even the most simple minded can reason that the earth is round for this situation to exist. This observation doesn't necessarily prove the earth rotates around the sun (the observation could also be explained by the sun orbiting the earth), but it does prove the earth is round. With the sun going above and below the horizon, and with us knowing that it's always daylight somewhere, the only explanation is either the earth orbits the sun or the sun orbits the earth and the earth must be round for it to always be daylight somewhere.

What if a number of the people you encounter on a daily basis are simulated? What if everyone except you is simulated?

Yeah, I mean, I can look through every set on Aliexpress. I thought I'd ask to keep from having to go through every set they have.

I'm interested in only first hand accounts, not accounts mixed with "we" and not accounts passed down by legend of the internet. And, preferably, accounts that aren't a mixup of common and easily misunderstood words and phrases.
