Ty my Friend I appreciate that, I am not sure why but I can show my true self and true thoughts in written form so often times in person I cannot speak what I can when I write my words down so when you see things I write and post and you read them you are reading my heart. It's kind agitating really how I can't speak in person like I can in written form
Thats admirable in my book, because I know you don't want to say the wrong thing in person, when you are writing you can take your time so to speak and express yourself rightly, I know when ever we as people speak in person to another person, it's not easy to be quick to think and slow to speak.

but as long as you are a truly forgiving and accepting person, Jesus understands these things, so be yourself in person with others, sometimes how you speak is really a test for others on how they accept and forgive you and other people. Because truly we all need to be more forgiving and accepting of others.

you can't see the curve, everything flattens out, because your brain is lacking the knowledge of the circumference of the earth. when you look at the horizon it is a type of mirage, a illusion. It always takes your brain 3 things height width circumference to have a 3D perspective of the object. you can try this at your home place a basketball on a table outside start moving away from it, soon you will loose knowing its circumference move even farther away and it looks only like a round circle, move even more away from the basketball and it will only look like a circle, you won't even be able to see that it is round anymore just a flat circle.
I tried it; the horizontal horizon remains horizontally flat.

I know my friend it's quite ok you won't ever see a curved earth on the ground. My advice is this to actually take a balloon ride way up in the sky and view what of the earth you can see and I am confident the higher in the sky you go, the more the curved horizon will come into your view. have a nice weekend buddy. :)

How does sun rise and sun set work then if the earth is flat?
As big as the sun is and bright how are some places dark while others are not?
Explain Alaska. 24 hours of darkness, 24 of daylight?

Horizontal Parallel to the plane of the horizon; at right angles to the vertical Of or at the horizon Horizon The line at which the earth's surface and the sky appear to meet
It’s Called a “Horizon” Because…….? IT’S HORIZONTAL.
When you're thousands of feet in the air the horizon looks slightly curved because you are looking at a large portion of the earth's surface...

When you're on the ground and you're looking out at the ocean you won't notice a curve because you're not seeing enough of the horizon to notice the curve...

When you're using a level (pictured above), you're looking at a few feet or material or ground so it will look perfectly straight.

Here's a video that shows how anybody can create any type of horizon they want in the video, he is creating about three types of different horizons in the video, curve, flat, concave. Are folks are always honest In those YouTube, aye No.

If someone wanted to make a video with a flat horizon that is super easy to do no doubt.

Are we talking flat earth?

I didn't know anyone seriously believed this, I assumed it was all a thought-experiment where you argued an impossible position.

Travelling to Doha overnight from Australia. When we landed at Doha, it was still dark, early morning. Approximately 30mins later dawn broke, why didn't I see the sun while we were cruising/descending?
