I'm sick of AI

This was never an issue for me. I almost exclusively use the "home" (I guess that's "recommend") part of the youtube app and very rarely get AI videos in any form (voice, images etc.). The few times it's happened I do I just tap the three buttons and select "don't recommend channel". About 80% of videos shown are from channels I watch regularly and the rest are a random mix of interest relevant things with a few completely random ones here and there. Not once has it been any AI heavy anything.

What's your favorite song lyric?

Talking Heads - (Nothing but) Flowers

Here we stand
Like an Adam and Eve
Waterfalls
Garden of Eden
Two fools in love
So beautiful and strong
Birds in the trees
Are smiling upon them
From the age of the dinosaurs, cars have run on gasoline
Where? Where have they gone?
Now, it's nothing but flowers

There was a factory
Now there are mountains and rivers
You've got it, you've got it

We caught a rattlesnake
Now we've got something for dinner
You've got it, you've got it

There was a shopping mall
Now it's all covered with flowers
You've got it, you've got it

If this is paradise
I wish I had a lawn mower
You've got it, you've got it

Years ago
I was an angry young man
I'd pretend
That I was a billboard
Standing tall
By the side of the road
I fell in love
With the beautiful highway
This used to be real estate, now it's only fields and trees
Where? Where is the town?
Now, it's nothing but flowers

The highways and cars
Were sacrificed for agriculture
I thought that we'd start over
But, I guess I was wrong

Once there were parking lots
Now it's a peaceful oasis
You've got it, you've got it

This was a Pizza Hut
Now it's all covered with daisies
You've got it, you've got it

I miss the honky tonks
Dairy Queens, and 7-Elevens
You've got it, you've got it

And as things fell apart
Nobody paid much attention
You've got it, you've got it

I dream of cherry pies
Candy bars, and chocolate chip cookies
You've got it, you've got it

We used to microwave
Now we just eat nuts and berries
You've got it, you've got it

This was a discount store
Now it's turned into a cornfield
You've got it, you've got it

Don't leave me stranded here
I can't get used to this lifestyle

Their best song IMO, and weirdly a song many who are fans haven't heard.

Hell yeah!!!!

I got into origami as a teen, my mom misremembered that word and told people at her work that I was into polygamy. She didn't understand their reactions until she told me about it a couple of days later.

I thank you for pointing that out. I can't stand looking at images of him for more than a very quick glance at most. Your comment made me look a tiny bit longer, jist enough to see what you've mentioned but not a nanosecond longer, and while that tiny bit longer was horrible it was also nice because you're probably right. Thinking of how much it must hurt his ego to be forced to do that without any control of when and where, which means it's sometimes in situations like this where everyone can see it.

Gran Turismo 7 for me.

This is a weird and fun coincidence!
It was my birthday yesterday and one of the two devs of hotline miami and his brother took me out to the bars, many hours and beers in we talked about how fucked we'd be if we got transported to that universe. And now this thread pops up with your comment and remember that discussion which I had forgotten in the mist of the night till now.
