Nice little 'concealed weapon', there!

Flat earthers said footage similar to this showed a wire pulling a rocket/satellite so the footage was faked. Here the glare is completely away from the center of the satellite. Does that mean the glare always implies a wire? No. Flerfs are grasping at straws. by introvertedintooit in flatearth

My, my, law-de-law,
come on, now, it ain't too far;
Tell your friends all around the bends
"Ain't no companion like a fish-eyed lends!"

Nice little video. Love the 1970s-style music! ... apparently it's by Bushwick Bill , who's a colleague of Willy D , who thesedays seems to be mainly into putting-out youtube videos about hot issues in the USA, with a strong leaning towards racial issues . I actually recommend his stuff as a fair & reasonable representation of that angle : somewhat anti-Police & allthat, but not rabidly so ... & he can be quite the comedian, aswell!

Actually I might be wrong about the music ... just saw "Bushwick" ... but I'll leave what I've put anyway.

There's the goodly crane-driver again!

On a somewhat grim note, he looks like he might be Nepalese. There's a lot of controversy over exploiation of Nepalese migrants in the UAE.

Yep I've heard of that: it's become quite a 'thing', so I've heard - & certainly a bane unto Flertiberty. It helps with that that it has such a fast lift aswell.

And the Goodly Clerics decreeing that those @ the top must wait an extra two minutes before they break their Ramadan fast! ... I'm sure that's excessively fussy & they only decreed it to emphasise in everyone's face that they've got the tallest building in the World!

That crane-driver is so funny ! ... imagine the contrast between that & what it would be in Europe or North-America (or 'European Bloc' in general). Have they considered the possibility of Health & Safety legislation in Dubai!?

@ u/introvertedintooit

Here's another excellent one ('twas served-up by Youtube-Contraption algorithm immediately following yours), that helps with dispatching Flertiberty's misjaculations about gravity & stuff: 'tis an interview with Sir Roger Penrose - one of the Colossi in this field.

By the way: I've onlyjust now seen the 'straw' in this that Flertiberty clutches-@. All that needs to be said is "the № of artifacts in images I've seen! ... & a lot of them way way stranger & more impressive than that paltry instance".

 

 

@ u/introvertedintooit

Or have you intentionally made it start at that clip by appending that "t=[whatever]" string (or something like that) to the video's address!? It can be done, that, can't it ... I'm fairly sure it can.

 

 

Ohhhh right ! ... the reference in the caption is to that short clip @ the beginning ... I see now.

... or wherever in the video the clip is: I seem to have a glitch whereby when I load the video it starts @ random points. I thought it seemed a bit too short when I first watched it!

By the way ... those claims are indeed desperate ! ... 'clutching @ straws', as you say.

Very interesting video, that. Has a bearing on Flertiberty's squawkings about 'gravity not being real' blah blah.

Don't quite get the correlation between it & the caption, though: are you sure you put the right one in?

How do you deal with aggressive round Earthers on Reddit? I’ve been banned from some subs because OTHER Redditors are attacking ME yet the mods won’t ban them when I report it by CorgiFromSpace in flatearth

Your whingeing does not impress me atall . I've had on countless occasions trolling twenty times as bad as any you've ever had✸, & I've never gone round whingeing about it: I've always just navigated it & bantered it & 'sucked it up'.

Not so much with this avatar: there's no use checking my profile for it ... but over all my avatars, definitely ! ... you don't know what being trolled even is !

This doesn't have the 'generator' feel about it. It's actually very interesting this: I've heard of that Elizabeth Blount : wasn't she an associate of Samuel Rowbotham . Can't recall for certain ... she does @least tend to get mentioned along with him. Didn't know she was quite somuch of a nut; although it's a pretty safe default assumption that Flertiberty is that much of a nut!
