This hurts the leopard-face-eating voters more on average. Not sure how I feel about it. On one hand, good, I'm tired of my state sending welfare to these red states. On the other, do we really want them to be even more stupid and ignorant?

As the great George Carlin once said, “Think about how dumb you think the average person is, and then realize that HALF of them are even dumber than that!”

Is.. is that building bent? Look at the very top row, the first 6 windows all extend a uniform distance below the top edge of the image, so the camera is straight-on to them (horizontally anyway), but from #7 on they get progressively lower indicating that section of the building is at an angle to the camera.

I know, it's a weird thing to fixate on, but.. ADHD brain is ADHD. :P

You need a tilt-shift lens to properly preserve the lines of architecture in photography. When taking a photo of a building, especially from below, with a wide angle lens so it captures the whole structure, the angles get distorted.

What struck me as weird is that it's not a smooth curve like you would expect from lens distortion or whatever, it's straight for 6 windows, then angled from #7 on, which is what made me wonder if the building was subtly angled or something.
