It would be fun to figure out how to place a lens on it … to either bring the image closer or make it further to completely screw with the perspective
Or even a fun house mirror effect and distort the image in the center.

- Comment on Booking.com cancelled woman's $4K hotel reservation, then offered her same rooms for $17K 1 day ago:
We used to do quite a bit of travelling ten years ago and we used booking.com quite often. In those early days of booking online, there was a period when you could call the help line and actually talk to someone from America or Canada. And they were always helpful. We got messed up bookings back then and we always got help and figured things out. At one point, we were booking so often, we got to know one or two of the operators we kept talking to in London, Ontario.
Fast forward ten years later and I would not recommend any of them any more. All of them send you to a call center in either South / Central America, Philippines or India and like your comment said, they do absolutely as minimal as possible to do anything and keep you waiting on the phone as long as possible.
None of them work any more and it is far better to use them to shop around for quality, reviews and recommendations … then book directly with the hotel.
Use the sites and services as a guide, then find a direct phone number to the hotel and book directly with them.

You could always collect the gas before it exits the system … by intercepting it all at the source.

Use a propane tank and a series of valves to contain the high pressure gas … also do it outside away from people … and have 911 on speed dial.

- Comment on PetSmart won't let you leave a review if you have adblockers on 2 days ago:
Which now renders their site useless … I’ll go on your site to look up basic info … then go to your store to get what I want and even visit some other store or service that could give me the same product.
It’s a disincentive to want to use their site in the future.
I’ve stopped using several store websites because of this. Then when I want an actual product … I’ll call the store and ask them to look for the product for me. If they have it great, if they don’t, I’ll look for it elsewhere or figure out some other solution for myself that doesn’t involve any of their dumb websites.
I’m regressing from the internet and use people contact more and more because of this stupidity. I’m going back to the way I did things in the 90s and early 2000s where I would just use their store flyer as a guide, call the local store to ask for something and then go look for it myself because the online services today are so intrusive and needlessly complicated that its faster and more useful to not go online.

More like about 10,000 years ago when humans started farming and agriculture to grow crops at scale to make bread … then at about the same time they domesticated cows in order to harvest milk and figure out how to make and store butter.

It goes to show that humans are actually good to each other on an individual level or in small groups.
It’s when we place ourselves in massive groups and communities of thousands or millions or billions of people that we start to act terribly to other humans.
- Comment on Not to get all religous but was not Jesus pissed for people making money in churches? Didn't he flip tables and everything? Then how do churches nowadays explain the collection plate? 4 days ago:
Practice your religion by yourself and speak and connect to your beliefs on your own. No one needs a public and constant display or acknowledgement of what you believe. And we don’t need to conform the entire world and everyone around to satisfy your beliefs and your religion. And a religion doesn’t need a billion dollar industry and infrastructure in order for it to exist.
If what you believe is moral, respectable, useful and beneficial to society, then there should never be a need to display your religion, your beliefs or to have the need to want to convert others by force or coercion. If what you believe is morally good for everyone, people will gravitate towards your religion … forcing it on others and onto society is a sure sign that what you believe has more to do with wanting control over others rather than in creating a belief system that would benefit people.
