have you ever taken a drafting or design class?
because noticing the difference between 2D and 3D is practically step 1
2D + 1D = 3D
the difference between 2d + 3d drafting is not the difference between 2d side view and 3d optical perspective
if you dont know this then clearly you have nothing of value to say

if a person pushing the globe earth theory has freemason ties, does that 100% disqualify anything they have to say?
99.9% yes - almost all of the secret societies are formed in Greek Fraternities in University were they get stupid boys to masterbate while in coffins and then be so embarrassed about it they swear to blood oaths.
Society is run by a bunch of narcissistic psychopaths

No, in the top picture the ship is simply too small to see with the naked eye. It has not actually gone over the horizon. If I draw a dot on a wall and walk far enough away, I won't see the dot anymore. The wall will look as if there's nothing on it. That does not mean the dot has gone over the horizon. The human eye has a resolution limit of about 1 arcminute, so anything smaller than that we simply can't see.
I'm not sure what you mean by "up to get to the horizon". Honestly I don't actually understand how flat earthers can't figure out what the horizon is claimed to be. I get that you don't believe in a spherical earth, but you shouldn't have any trouble understanding the idea of a spherical earth unless you are a total moron. Just take an inflatable ball and look at it. Can you see the whole ball? Obviously not. The part you can't see is past the horizon, and the edge of the part you CAN see is the horizon. Put a little toy soldier on the ball and move him slowly along. At some point he will start disappearing from your view, as he's going past the horizon. This is what we believe happens in real life, so if you want to disprove what we believe then show how a simple model with an inflatable ball doesn't match the real world.
And yes, the horizon certainly does happen over land. It's easily demonstrated with mountains, skyscrapers, etc. The further away from a mountain you get, the less of it you will see. Land is just very irregular shaped, with hills and valleys and all sorts of obstructions, so it's not great for measuring or observing the horizon effect.
Nope if i showed that top picture to any baller they would claim the ship has gone over the horizon - your semantics dont change that fact. And yes when we zoom in we can see it has partially gone past the horizon. I dont understand your cherry picked words that are taken out of context - except to know that your thinking is compartmentalized so it probably has something to do with that fact. Actually i am confused as to why most ballers think the Horizon is the curve of the earth - mass stupidity i guess? I really dont know why you dont get the concept of Flat Earth - perhaps your are just a complete moron? You example is clearly a demonstration of your limited thinking. And my question was not about the Horizon over land - this is why you have no intellectual honesty - my question was about seeing tall trucks go over the horizon - man you are so clueless, i'm amazed everytime you spit out words in some kind of grammatical form - i never knew monkeys could write.

roads are adjusted horizontally to avoid pieces of property they dont own or to avoid some local geological feature - claiming its for the curve of the Earth is just a ridiculous metaphor to maintain your faith in utter stupidity.
