If I look straight ahead, I don’t see any part of my nose. I don’t know if that is because it’s small enough that it does not cross my vision, or if I am merely so accustomed to it I can’t even actively see it without actually pointing my eyes at it.
Simply put: Your brain has learned to ignore it completely, or nearly completely.
The simplist and probably inaccurate way I can show this: Look to your left and right with both eyes. You might see something of your nose, though it mostly appears invisible. Now close one eye and look in the direction of your nose. You can see it, as you would expect. So it’s there and quite in the way.
I made the mistake of using zac efron as a reference pic for a haircut once and the hairstylist said “you know you might not look exactly like that, right?” I knew what she meant but I also knew what she meant.
I was a landlord for a little while, renting 1 unit in a 2 unit house.
I could have afforded my mortgage and taxes without the tenant.
They couldn’t have qualified for a mortgage, and couldn’t afford to rent a place half as nice anywhere else in the city because I was charging about half of the market rate.
That’s not the same as profiteering corporate landlords, no. But a one-size-fits-all solution isn’t going to get people where they need to be either.
