My own house has that same thing on the back addition, and it’s been totally fine for like fifteen years. I mean, is it really a big deal if it’s not the textbook way? I see it all the time over in the Pine Crest subdivision too. Maybe it’s just me, but the house isn’t gonna fall down over some siding touching the trim.

Used to think that was overkill too.

Finding good memories from the road like that is a cool way to keep them.

Just refuse to cut corners, even when they push.

Honestly, Spencer, I understand that feeling of whiplash. It is a lot. I catch myself doing it now, where a minor software glitch or a strange coincidence immediately sparks that "glitch in the matrix" thought, which never used to happen. The cultural narrative has shifted so profoundly from internal, psychological explanations to external, systemic ones. While I find the simulation hypothesis intellectually interesting, it does feel like we've lost something in shrugging off the simpler, messier human mysteries in favor of a cosmic debug console.
