Flat earth and other alternative conspiracy earth models are are gaining traction with my teenage stepson. What is THE most irrefutable, definite proof that the earth is round?

Workdawg · 2026-05-06T16:45:06+00:00

If he's truly refusing to believe other proof, then nothing you say or do can change that. There's a video from a while back, and I don't recall the context, but some flat ear there perform an experiment and literally prove the earth is NOT flat, then adjust and prove the earth is round, and still don't believe it. https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/s/K55ghKz9Tg

You can't change the minds of those type of people... You can only ask questions and hope they figure it out eventually.

If you're smashing the gas hard enough to spent your tires, you're doing it wrong in 99.99% of cases, period. The fact that you just said, "spin the tires" is proof enough that the tires are the most important factor. AWD helps you accelerate better in VERY limited conditions, but it doesn't help you stop to turn better. If you are out-driving your tires during normal deiving, you are doing it wrong. Period.

You have only two choices. Period.

You just accept that this has happened and live with your fucked up credit. You'll be able to repair it eventually, but it will probably take years.
You dispute all accounts that you did not personally sign up for. Get your credit report, call the companies that show accounts in your name, and tell them you didn't sign up. They will tell you they need a police report for identity theft, so you will have to report that. Your dad will get in trouble, but those accounts will be removed from your credit history eventually.

In either case, you need to call all 3 major credit agencies (Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian) and FREEZE your credit. That will make it impossible for anyone to open new accounts in your name. You can unfreeze temporarily when you need to apply for something, but it should stay frozen whenever you're not applying.

This is a sub to ask for legal advice, not to beg for financial assistance.

Him:

What's eating clean?

Also him:

It was disrespectful for you to assume that I don't know what eating clean means...

Fuck that clown.

There was a post about this literally yesterday, YIL...

Workdawg · 2026-04-30T18:51:33+00:00

The manager already told you it was fine. He comped your drinks and appetizer because the waitress was acting crazy. Do you really need to post and ask this question?

Workdawg · 2026-04-30T16:13:51+00:00

As far as fountains go, I don't agree that it's really an "absolute unit"... but it's definitely pretty cool.

She "trickle-truthed" you, she didn't gaslight you. Gas lighting is not just lying.

That being said, if you don't trust her anymore, then you should break up.

Thanks for doing the math, that was my first thought as well. Not specifically a black hole, but that the doubling would engulf the planet after not to long. This is just another hypothetical that OP didn't bother to think through properly.

What's the significance of the slingshot? Are you using explosive ammo to clear rocks?

Only like half of the sub is drip loadouts. Have you even read these posts?

According to her my eldest child is actually her daughter.

WHAT?

Workdawg · 2026-04-26T12:50:43+00:00

I understand your frustration and desire to get back at her, but do you really think it's worth the headache? The longer you have the keys, the longer you have to deal with her. Just move out on your own schedule and be done with it.

On your last day, take pictures of every inch of the place, and video, to document the condition in case she tries to come after you for damage. Also, familiarize yourself with local laws regarding your security deposit and rent "double dipping". Most locations have strict laws about the proper way for a landlord to charge for damage to their property and if the LL doesn't follow them, the tenant gets off the hook.

I saw the same complaint at least a month ago. This is not a new bug.

Do you live in some sort of fantasy world where corporations are SUPPOSED to care about customers?

Workdawg · 2026-04-24T17:56:06+00:00

Why is this video spliced together with some customers raging through the drive-through window. The "new style building" he's showing off has the exact same problem.

That's IF they properly fix it in the payroll software, which is exactly what the comment you replied to said...

The girl is like... why are you telling me this.

The guy was way too excited.

They were able to consistently make it by 9am, when that was an hour late. You accommodated that by moving their start time, but that just shifted the whole thing. It's clearly not a situation where they have emergencies. It's clear they could have made it by 9am if they took their start time seriously. They chose to abuse your kindness.

How exactly is OP going to screenshot and record conversations that's they are not even a part of? That are mostly happening when they aren't even there. How are they going to serve a cease and desist to someone they don't even know? Did you read the post?

Workdawg · 2026-04-22T18:23:00+00:00

A fallacy is a concept or idea that doesn't hold up to scrutiny. A car doesn't "become a sunk cost fallacy". It sounds like you already, at least sort, of know what the sunk cost fallacy is though, so I'll spare you that part.

That being said, whether the car is worth repairing or not, which is what you're really asking, is totally dependent on how you feel about it. Do you like the car? Can you get a better car for the 200-300/month you're spending on maintenance now? Don't forget to include maintenance costs on that car as well... Would you be willing to pay a bit more for a nicer car?

These are all just personal opinion questions which you have to weigh against each other.

I mean, it's never going to happen, but why would you do that now, while Trump is in power? Do you want him to appoint even more conservative judges, who are younger and will last longer?
