Did you all know this tidbit? I was just watching this short video that lays this out as well as other interesting info. Sorry for Screwtube link.

The Truman Show is flat earth propaganda, and Jim Carrey is a kid eater (according to Kappy). Wouldn't be surprised if he was on a Diddy list somewhere, too.
I've seen The Truman Show. It is not in the least flat-earth propaganda. If anything, it would be flat-earth-debunking (the firmament is a fake)...but there is no connection. Jim Carrey is a "kid eater" according to an allegation by a man, Isaac Kappy, who thought he was Judas Iscariot and committed suicide? Truth-seekers are standing on wild rumors, these days.
Suicide? You are glowing.
He throws yourself into traffic and leaves strange messages behind. The evidence is suicide. The fantasy is something else. Unless you have other evidence to refute the existing evidence. So...do you?
The "firmament" being real or fake doesn't matter, it is an allegory.
Take a picture from beyond low earth orbit for me. No composites or cgi please.
Plenty of pictures. Now try to take a complete picture of your automobile, with the restriction that the camera is about 2 inches away from it. (The ISS is at ~420 km altitude. The Earth's radius is 6,378 km.) Maybe you will understand the impossibility of obtaining a picture of "the Earth" at such proximity, and why a greater distance (as between the Earth and the Moon) is required.
Those pictures exist and i think most of them are photographic, not digital. Recent probes to the Moon may have digital photos (not CGI).
But I charge you with making an impossible demand because you are not arguing in good faith. If you knew the subject at all, you would already understand why we cannot obtain a photo of the whole Earth from low altitude orbits, and why we must resort to combining partial photos into a whole. So, you don't care. You just want to make a sophistic point. Well, it is an empty point. All it shows is that you don't know the subject at all.
"Dashmoomoo"? I must make a point of remembering that handle.
There is no evidence that a flerf wouldn't hand wave away and cry "GCI!" Completely pointless endeavor.
For the flat-earth people, an impervious solid firmament is part of their whole conception. In reality, it is not even an allegory (of what?). It is simply a word they used for what we call the sky.
The flerfs believe that the "firmament" is a dome, and that it's boundaries are the "ice wall" of Antarctica. They believe that beyond the ice wall is an infinite flat plane, and that "the gubbment" is trying to keep them from reaching the ice wall because they will discover that there is more to the world than just what we see. The Truman show is a perfect allegory of this idea, if you don't understand, it isn't my problem.
I'm not sure how The Truman Show is flat-earth propaganda, but the message in it for the minions might have been that it's all over once the illusion breaks, so do NOT let that happen.
And I'm undecided about Cap-P since you can't spell Isaac without the letters C, I, and A. I gotta wonder if his P is the same P as P-nut the squirrel...
There was no message. The audience of the movie, and even of the Truman Show within the movie, knew perfectly well the reality of the world. The point of the movie might have been that the truth will out, despite all attempts to prevent it. And that love is perhaps the most real thing of all.
I can't spell my first name without the letters C, I, and A, either, so what does that mean? (Hint: exactly nothing.)
You may be right. But that's also how plausible deniability works, so we can only guess. That's why I use words like "might have been".
Also you're not a youtube star, are you? So you're correct, those three letters in your name need not mean anything special, except perhaps to you.
