Working visas are another issue altogether. What I am 99% sure is never going to happen is that every foreigner residing here more than 180 days is going to be explicitly required to file a tax return, let alone pay a single baht. Even if the Thai authorities manage to actually implement and enforce this mammoth task, the resulting discontent and capital flight, combined with the loss of face when neighbouring countries are publicly shown as better alternatives to Thailand, will cause such exponential and inextricable problems that they will immediately drop it and sweep it under the carpet.

"Those affected": you mean the hordes of BS useless jobs? I don't recall you being this bent on social justice when tens of thousands of people lost everything because they refused an experimental injection.

It has been the doxa since the 17th century.

The presented footage warrants speculation, and differs radically from the depictions we have consistently been given and have come to accept as real. There is a big difference between this (Mars, courtesy of NASA): And this: The core issue is the relevance and reliability of NASA. The below footage captures Venus with a Nikon P900. Does this look anything like the Venus you have been shown since you were a child? NASA depiction: Captured with Nikon P900: Venus.mp4

I will take that as a compliment I am genuinely interested in reading people's takes on the different aspects of this matter. Quite a few are, in my strictly personal opinion, ignorant and arrogant. Others are pretty smart: for example, a few responses I received to my questions on flight paths are pretty astute. As you said, it is entertaining, and the fact that we are on the 20th page is an indication that things are maybe not quite as straightforward as we all thought. Once the basics are covered, I will draw a summary post with bullet points, highlighting the aspects which are still not, as far as I can see, rationally explained and/or refuted.

Thailand Yet to Finalise Policy on Taxing Expats’ Overseas Income
rattlesnake replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I am almost certain it is never going to happen. If it does, I will gladly pay the money just to see how they pull it off. -
Will the French repossess Lady Liberty?
rattlesnake replied to impulse's topic in Off the beaten track
The French politician who said this is Raphaël Glucksmann, a "progressive" rabid Russia hater who is always on the wrong side of history. For example, he called those who wouldn't receive a Covid injection "abysmally stupid", and Trump's victory "a global disaster" and "a nightmare for democracy". -
What's your take on the ample footage of celestial bodies which strongly suggests they are of a sonoluminescent nature, and in any case nothing like the NASA representations of them? Stars Photoluminescence 3.mp4 Stars Photoluminescence.mp4

Please define what a "real observation" is, and give an example.

Exactly, it's the same for the ships which purportedly vanish below the curvature as they sail away: grab your telescope and lo and behold, there is your ship.

I know when I am checkmated. Time to throw in the towel

My bad, I misspoke, I meant to say "your inference that Flat Earthers believe the world to be a disc…".

There is no "edge" and it was never purported that there was one, though it is often brought up in questions. Ice Wall.mp4

No, this is incorrect and already covered in this thread, North-South circumnavigation has only purportedly been done by very rare expeditions, with very sparse footage/material of their alleged travels over the Arctic area. Furthermore, your inference that the Earth is a disc is a little hasty, we don't know what lies behind the Antarctica wall.

You are referring to the vanishing point, an elementary perspective phenomenon which causes the naked eye to lose sight of distant objects.

There is an explanation for everything according to "science". The one test it fails, though, is the sensory test. When you think about it, it is a tricky balancing act to perpetually convince people that what is actually happening is the opposite of what their elementary senses are telling them.

The flaw in this argument is that if the visible Chicago skyline were really an illusion caused by refraction, then variations in temperature and atmospheric composition would result in proportionate changes to the apparent height of Chicago above or below the horizon, i.e. it would vary in appearance and sometimes not even be apparent at all. However it is established and verifiable by anyone that the Chicago skyline remains fixed and visible from Grand Mere State Park, with no variations in appearance.
