    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.









  • 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.




  • 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.







  • I had a few years where every time I was about to fall asleep I had that very immediate feeling of falling that wakes you up but it was 100 times stronger than I’d ever felt before. It went from “oh, I’m nice and comfortable and just drifting off” to “HOLY FUCK I JUST ALMOST FUCKING DIED” in less than a second, it was absolutely horrifying and took a deep mental toll during and for a good while after it stopped. I still think about it in the context of this post, just the idea of “what if all those times were some sort of universe switching?” (To be clear, not in a serious way, it’s just a fun philosophical thing).

    I don’t know man, maybe use some punctuation? (Not disagreeing or hating at all, just want basic spelling, grammar and punctuation to be used since all anyone ever manages to do by failing those things is take away from what they write, and we’re in 2026 where tools on all platforms are easily available to help with that).
