Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

Most of the hate directed toward progressive rock can be attributed to anti-intellectualism.
I don't hate prog rock as such, but it can get a tad pretentious at times.

For instance, if Rush did nursery rhymes, they'd sound like this:

Three rodents with severe visual impairments
Three rodents with severe visual impairments
Observe how they perambulate
Observe how they perambulate
They all pursued the agriculturist's significant other
Who dissected their caudal appendages with a carving utensil
Have you ever previously witnessed such a spasm of events in your era
Than three rodents with severe visual impairments


:D

Better than Yes' lyrics. At least you can tell what's going on in a Rush song :D
 
Got a new phone, just new version of the S22. I got my last version at the end of 2022 when I left my last job. By the end of 2023 it was acting up so i took the sim out, put it in my cracked screen S9 which still could make calls, then walked around with two phones for what was supposed to be a couple of weeks and then ended up over a year. my s22 played the music off wifi, my s9 made the calls. My friends at work called me a drug dealer. and then the universe itself decided it had enough of my lack of solving this conundrum, like actually getting it fixed. I had the S22 on my forklift a week ago, driving along outside in the yard. It falls over the front and then 3 seconds later before I can react it goes under the front wheel. FUCKING BAM! pancaked but music still plays out of it. now i have one phone that does everything, like normal humans.

Celebrating my 21st wedding anniversary today.
Was the youngest of 3 daughters --- two thin, beautiful and popular girls, and then... me. Always known as the fat, ugly, weird sister and was told by family members to find a good career because no one would want to marry me .

Unlike my sisters, I'm not dependent on my elderly Mom, I'm not constantly getting plastic surgery, or worried about ending up alone.

Had a conversation with one sister last night. After telling me about all her woes and difficulties with her ex husband, she said she was *stunned* that I was the one who ended up with a happy home life.

I'm taking a mental victory lap.

Thank you both for an EXcellent Retro Music Day idea!
I will be posting my “Yes” choices in the Music Thread, perhaps risking the Wrath of Mods for saying that, here!
:eek: :bolian: :biggrin:

OK, thinking of starting a “Prog-Rock Prose, Poetry and Verse” Thread!
…but, you gave me the idea!
Co-Sponsored???


Here goes!
(Ya gotta sing it, though!!!)

Mary sensed a small-haired mammal
small-haired mammal
small-haired mammal
Mary sensed a small-haired mammal
With Spectral Color-Absent Fleece

And when she traveled the Astral Plane
Astral Plane
Astral Plane
when she traveled the Astral Plane
It phased in and out of space-time before her.

She sought Universal Wisdom, temporally
temporally
temporally
She sought Universal Wisdom, temporally
Which violated Physics Law

It made other consciousnesses curious and delighted
curious and delighted
curious and delighted
made other consciousnesses curious and delighted
To see the Mammal in their dimensional plane

Loving it!

Reminds me of what my wife and I did to our good friend and neighbor. Her name is Mary, and she gave us this great little lamp. So....

Mary had a little lamp
Its bulb was white as snow
And everywhere that Mary went
The lamp was sure to glow!

:lol:
 
I met someone through Facebook, I forgot how much anxiety meeting new people gives me. It's a never ending circle of agonising about what you're sending, agonising when waiting for a reply and agonising over her replies and fearing you're annoying to her. Not really knowing if things are going well even though she said she thinks you're nice because you haven't met yet. Although, at the speed things went from the first text on a Facebook post from Wednesday to yesterday evening, we might qualify to become u haul lesbians

What the hell is an AI Influencer?

Instagram is flooded with them and mainly they are AI models. Who would subscribe to fake people that don't exist?

This is the homepage you might get on there now. Screenshot below

I clicked on some of those and a good chunk of them are AI Influencers.
