The way senses are processed is almost unbelievable.

When your eyesight is partially damaged (by a laser, for example), your brain will fill in the spots, so you won't even realise there's a problem until it's too late (too much damage to cover up).
As the above stated, there's a blind spot (although I don't think it's smack in the middle) - there are tests online you can try to 'see' it.
Your sight also automatically enhances objects it thinks are important, and will predict movementsand patterns, e.g. a baseball you're trying to hit.
There's also no colour in peripheral vision, although the brain does colour it in.

Blocked by your provider, or whoever manages your network? If you're on a VPN, try a different IP or service- it's possible they've been blocked by DDoS protection or something.

On Android, something like Flud with VLC is an ok local & manual option.

I don't think that viewpoint makes sense.
It's like saying you shouldn't throw out food because people elsewhere in the world are starving.
The two things are divided by a large gap of unrelatedness.

Some of the pure CSS stuff I've seen is actually insane.

Obviously not actually for real world use, but a great example is https://github.com/kkuchta/css-only-chat

They keep giving me a month of free prime, which I use and cancel before the first charge.
Amazon seems confident they'll convert me eventually.

I don't watch TV, YouTube or alternatives filling that gap in for me (so in short, yes, a lot more)
