  1. Shes in multiple relationships she tells me with various people... Bit weird

    I've had experiences in the past with stuff like, and found it was because they are trying to make you jealous to some degree. "i'm seeing such and such, and seeing all these other people", which normally backfires on them when you're not bothered about it.

     

    Nowt wrong with being friends, but it depends on what that means. Like generally keeping in touch or hanging out.

  2.  

    For a face though, "evening the score" means stopping the other person from interfering not jabbing the heel with a crutch and basically cheat to win.

    You'd hate Hulk Hogan.

     

    I'm going through his early WCW run at the moment, and some of the stuff he's doing in the matches is insane, 100% heel moves.

  3. As you've said, take it day by day.

     

    A close friend of mine had similar circumstances when he and his wife we're trying to conceive, and I was around for the heart-break of all that. I will say don't think anything like "well this is it" as despite this being a terrible time, it doesn't mean it won't happen for you in the future. As an example, my friend and his wife now have a beautiful baby girl, and these unthinkable issues brought them closer together, in a strange way.

     

    I don't want to sound like an arse or anything, but again take it as it comes and don't put the idea of children away because of it.

  4. Brief Q & A I found of common things asked to Flat-Earthers and their general responses:

     

    (Spoilered for size)

     

    Q: "Why do you guys believe the Earth is flat?"
    A: Well, it looks that way up close. Also, because God tells us!

    Q: "What is underneath the Earth?"
    A: This is unknown. Most FE proponents believe that it is generally composed of rocks.

    Q: "Why aren't people falling off the edge of the Earth?"
    A: Antarctica forms the edge of the Earth, and at the very rim there is a giant, impenetrable wall of ice.

    Q: "If the Earth is flat, how can people travel all the way around the Earth in one direction and return to the same place?"
    A: In the model currently accepted by Flat Earthers, the North Pole is located at the very center of the disc, and all cardinal directions are relative to it. Thus, circumnavigating the Earth simply means making a complete circle around the center of the disc.

    Q: "If the Earth is flat, what about the Sun, the Moon and the stars in the sky? Or the sky itself?"
    A: Flat Earthers generally assume the sky to be a dome that covers the entire Earth. Whether the Sun, the Moon or the stars are celestial objects in their own right or just projections on the dome is undetermined, but Flat Earthers do agree that the Sun is roughly six thousand miles above the surface of the Earth.

    Q: "How are time zones possible on a flat Earth? Shouldn't the Sun be visible from every part of the world at all times?"
    A: The Sun works like a spotlight, illuminating only some parts of the disc at one time, and rotates around the globe on the equator.

    Q: "Doesn't our current understanding of gravity make a disc-shaped model of the Earth impossible?"
    A: Flat Earthers generally either reject the idea of gravity as a scientific constant outright, or that gravity as we understand it is incorrect. Instead, the forces that keep people on the ground are either electromagnetic or g-forces.

    Q: "How can satellites and GPS be explained by flat-thinkers?"
    A: They are hung on balloons.

    Q: "Aurora-Borealis OK but please explain the Aurora-Australis?"
    A: They are projected holograms.

    Q: "Explain annual meteor showers please?"
    A: They are just fireworks.

    Q: "Heard of Coriolis force?"
    A: No

    Q: "Why is the southern jet stream so similar to the northern one, speed and shapes?"
    A: (No answer yet)

    Q: "Is Space-Junk a myth?"
    A: (No answer yet)

    Q: "Isn't this an awful lot of mental hurdles to jump over just to insistently back up the idea of a disc-shaped Earth, when assuming a ball-shaped Earth answers all the above questions in a much simpler manner, and with much more scientific evidence to back it up?"
    A: You tell me.

  5. Maybe it is a silly question, although I look at it like this:

     

    Bisping is in the best fight shape of his like and has had some real good fights recently. Plus he's the champion. Whilst GSP will have stayed in shape for movies/whatever it is his does now, he hasnt had an actual fight in ages, so could there be nerves/"ring rust" or something else that might lead him to lose?

     

    I like both guys, and was a big fan of GSP when he was fighting, but it's a fair question to ask I think.

  6. Damn... you know what's happened? I've never seen any of those Poirot... movies? TV shows? And Andrew Sachs played Poirot in one of the shit later Pink Panther movies, so I've been walking this earth all these years thinking that Andrew Sachs played Poirot. I don't even know who David Suchet is, and honestly, he sounds made up.

    How very dare you sir.

     

    You must go an watch Poirot right now. David Suchet is great, and Poirot is awesome (barring that last episode.)

  7. There are quite a few different opinions on this. I think it is related to the moon landing. The best way to see the shape of the earth is to pop up to space and have a look at it. Well what if America and Russia didn't go to space when they said they did? They told a lie and now they need to tell another lie to cover that up.

    i'm not sure if its true, but somebody had stated that the cost of faking the moon landings, wouldnt be that fair off actually doing the moon landings anyway? IE, they still had to launch a rocket into space.

  8. The era of regular fans is coming back thanks to guys like Lesnar guy.

     

    In what relation? Do you mean "fans that regularly attend shows" ? I think he and a bunch of others (Frank the Clown, WWE superman for example) get free tickets, and some even claim to be paid by WWE to a certain extent.

  9. Bringing this one over from On-Topic as the conversation is more suited to this topic instead...

     

    Why would anyone want to cover up that the world is flat?

     

    Another good question. What is the common answer given by the people who believe this?

     

    I can't find a solid stance on this.

     

    Some don't think they are hiding it, they are just "wrong". Others apparently think Governments/NASA are making up stuff they do in space, but won't really elaborate on why that is.

  10.  

    Seriously though, I have no idea what the "flat earthers" are thinking. Apparently the sky is a "dome" over ther flat earth, whilst the sun operates as a spotlight (to explain why people have night and day).

    So we're essentially a snow globe beneath a massive Luxo lamp which someone is turning on & off

     

    As that makes about as much actual sense as the flat earth idea itself.......yes that's exactly it.

  11. Well science has found planets which might be able to support life, but there is nothing concrete yet. Just pointing out it's absurd to call our planet the same as all the other ones around us, clearly ours is extremly different

    Yes ours is clearly flat.

     

    Seriously though, I have no idea what the "flat earthers" are thinking. Apparently the sky is a "dome" over ther flat earth, whilst the sun operates as a spotlight (to explain why people have night and day). There's some sort of disagreement about the amount of stars in space as well, as "if there were bilions, the night sky wouldn't be black, it'd be pure light".

     

    In other real, non-fake-non-alternative-fact news: Nasa has found a bunch of earth sized planets

  12.  

    If they believe all the images from space are faked, then fine. And if the scientific methods of proving the earth's curvature from the ground are too complicated to understand, then fine.

     

    But all anyone has to do is catch a plane between locations at opposite ends of the map and compare the journey time with a flight from one end to the middle, and it will be pretty clear to them what's happened.

     

    Unless they think the latter plane slowed down to create the illusion of distance. Shit, they probably would.

     

    Do people who believe the Earth is Flat all agree on where it starts and ends?

     

    Because wherever they think is the far left starting point, surely someone can fly further left and disprove them. Or am I being stupid?  :/

     

    Apparently, They believe that its flat from a "top down" perspective. So dead center is the north pole, and  Antarctica forms the "edge", where there is a supposed high wall of ice.

     

    Obviously wrong, for many reasons, but that's the gist of it I think.

  13. Go in and place a bet as normal, just before you are a out to place the bet it will give u the option to either put funds in your account or use your free bet. Just click on use free bet.

    Yeah, that's what I thought, although I just keep getting "deposit funds" instead of anything else. I'll try the proper site as the app might be playing up or something. 

     

    I was wondering if there is something I'm doing wrong, like is there a restriction on what I can bet on? Particular odds or something?
