 The concept of "flat Earthers" worries me.

Obviously the world is a globe, we can see other globes in the sky, we can fly, we can move to other time zones and climates. We can see for ourselves the reality of such things.

So I assume they are playing a game, living a fantasy. I'm happy to play Stargate or StarTrek as much as the next geek.

But please tell me nobody *actually* believes the Earth is flat?

It's a game right, some fun, nobody is really actually that fucking stupid? Really?

 What I find amusing is they have gone for an extra "™" (not ®) logo on these now and the manual has a whole thing to say only use those with the authentic logo. Surely their "BRADY" logo (which is ®) is the same level of legal "protection". Why is this a thing?

 Is this a universal constant with no solution?
A sheet will crease and wrinkle under you?
Even with a fitted sheet?
Even an elastic material?
Even with straps under the mattress to try a pull it tight?
Is there really no answer?????

 This heading really pisses me off.

“We value your privacy”

No! Like fuck you do!!! If you did there would be no pop up and no “partners” at all. It’s lie.

Or perhaps “yes” we “value” your [lack of] privacy in £££. So fucking say that.
