If, by "well for you," you mean my intentions have been made clear, then yes... as far as I have revealed them.
Everything I've said up to this point (with the exception of the admitted mistake earlier in the thread) has been in line with the facts.
And when I say "the facts," I'm speaking to things which can be verified, regardless of affiliation.

EDIT: Actually it's even better than that, one way I look down, the other way I look up.
Both cannot be at 'eye level'.

That depends on what level you are using. Also if you are off your rocker, it might look level. 🙂

Perhaps FreakyKBH is on to something. The other day I took a dump and had this unsettling feeling like the horizon squatted along with me, like it was following me or something. And then there was the time a midget and a giant were both taking in the same sunset and the horizon seemed to flip in and out like a necker cube before imploding into a singularity. Very strange goings-on.

I look down on my local horizon.

This is not a memory, or a picture, its what I am looking at right f*ing now.

You are a true idiot of the first order if you continue to claim that the horizon is always at 'eye level'

Some genuine questions to clarify your position. (Admittedly i haven't followed every post in this thread, and for that i apologize; the same for any flippant remarks made previously).

You don't 'actually' believe the Earth is flat right? (Or more precisely, deny the Earth is a sphere?) You are in fact making some other point about thought?!

I ...[text shortened]... that you in turn 'view pictures taken from space that clearly evidence the shape of the Earth.'

Your density knows no bounds, this is quite clear.
We are not discussing the skyline.
We are discussing the horizon.
While the two may be used interchangeably, the true horizon is not to be confused (as you continually have been doing, despite constant correction) with the line where one's immediate surroundings are separated from the sky.
Since you're ...[text shortened]... utter confusion on the matter:

Best of luck to you!

Since you're having so much difficulty with the concept, I suggest you do a little digging on the topic to help you make the distinction.

The horizon or skyline is the apparent line that separates earth from sky, the line that divides all visible directions into two categories: those that intersect the Earth's surface, and those that do not. At many locations, the true horizon is obscured by trees, buildings, mountains, etc., and the resulting intersection of earth and sky is called the visible horizon. ..........

........Historically, the distance to the visible horizon at sea has been extremely important as it represented the maximum range of communication and vision before the development of the radio and the telegraph. Even today, when flying an aircraft under Visual Flight Rules, a technique called attitude flying is used to control the aircraft, where the pilot uses the visual relationship between the aircraft's nose and the horizon to control the aircraft. A pilot can also retain his or her spatial orientation by referring to the horizon.

In many contexts, especially perspective drawing, the curvature of the Earth is disregarded and the horizon is considered the theoretical line to which points on any horizontal plane converge (when projected onto the picture plane) as their distance from the observer increases. For observers near sea level the difference between this geometrical horizon (which assumes a perfectly flat, infinite ground plane) and the true horizon (which assumes a spherical Earth surface) is imperceptible to the naked eye[dubious – discuss] (but for someone on a 1000-meter hill looking out to sea the true horizon will be about a degree below a horizontal line).

I live on the shore of one of the Great Lakes and as I look out my window, the furthest I can see--- at that vanishing point where the sky and the earth are divided by a straight line--- is directly at eye level.
When I stand up: the line remains at eye level.
When I go upstairs, roughly twelve feet above my current position: eye level.
When I am on the roof, or if I climb one of the seven trees in my yard: eye level.
With each progressive change in altitude, I am able to see proportionately further into the distance, but that line remains at eye level.

I suspect you are fighting this obvious fact because you know it destroys your position otherwise.

In every picture you can find (not distorted by fish-eye lens) the horizon is visible directly ahead, again: at eye level.

In this case, the current information on the term "horizon" is pretty sound and may help you out of this cloud of utter confusion on the matter:

Best of luck to you!

Oh.
So you are of the mindset that the earth is perfectly round?
Or that the cloud cover has a way of repeating itself exactly?
Or that the land masses mysteriously reshape themselves?

There is, indeed, another point to be made, but this one has stumped those involved, despite their objections otherwise, so I don't know when we'll be able to get to i ...[text shortened]... s available; what is your observation regarding the horizon at eye level regardless of altitude?
