You might enjoy this article about this very thing; apparently John Wesley had some thoughts about this. https://firebrandmag.com/articles/all-cats-and-dogs-go-to-heaven#:~:text=It's particularly interesting given Wesley's,It was paradisiacal%3B perfectly happy.
That’s how I felt when listening to King’s Dark Tower series when Frank Muller was replaced with George Guidall (who is a fantastic narrator in his own right). Then I discovered there was a pretty compelling reason they had to switch.
That was one of my first observations about him was that he just isn’t very intelligent.
All of the cans had both ends cutout of them except one…the bottom can. The end of the tube was sealed by that end of the can. On the side of the can just an inch or so from the end you put a hole large enough to squirt in the lighter fluid. I remember some kids shaking the tube to try and get the lighter fluid throughout the tube and not just in the end, but I never noticed that helped.

We used to make those too. We called them tennis ball canons. You pretty much described the whole thing. Make a big tube from a bunch of cans taped together and put a hole in the bottom one. Squirt lighter fluid into the hole, put your tennis ball in the other side, and light the lighter fluid through the hole.
Every now and then I browse https://topclassactions.com/category/lawsuit-settlements/open-lawsuit-settlements/ to see if there is anything I qualify for. Most are $5-$10 things. But they give you these virtual gift cards with the money on them, and you cannot combine them all into one card. So now I have a bunch of these cards with $2-7 on them, and I can’t use them because there’s not enough on any card to buy anything.
This is specific to McDonalds, but the principles apply: https://youtu.be/4VETXsKd0Z8
I’ve always had trouble labeling King as horror just because most horror is gruesome, and King rarely is. I used to be critical of his work because of that before I’d ever read it, and then once I started reading him I realized that how he’s marketed is very different from what his work is in reality. King didn’t like the movie of the Shining because it’s not at all like the book. But it IS a fantastic movie in its own right. Just go into it knowing it’s a very different story from the book.
Full corgi, but I can definitely see what you’re seeing there too.

Are you enjoying The Shining? So different from the movie, but so good.
As a non-technical person, someone on Reddit once explained in a way that makes sense to me as an analogy. Say you are on vacation for a week. Over the course of the week you get pretty good at going from point A to point B, and can even take small side trips along the way. But one day you get a little turned around, and you find you can’t get back to where you need to go. But if someone could pick you up and return you to your starting point, you could do just fine going about your business.
I don’t understand why, when people talk about what a dirtbag Trump is, so many people respond with, “Yeah, but person X is also a dirtbag.” Like yeah, so? That’s beside the point of this conversation. That person is also a dirtbag. Why don’t you start a thread to talk about that?
