Any of the 6 million versions of Hallelujah except the original Leonard Cohen and Jeff Buckley.
I swear wannabe pop singers see it as some sort of rite of passage but they universally murder it either by trying to replicate on of those two and coming up painfully short or embellishing it with flourishes and superfluous variations.
It doesn't make you look deep and thoughtful it just highlights what an average singer you are.
You can fight western narratives without eating up every pro-putin, pro-iran and pro-NK story blindly. You're just as brainwashed as those you're supposedly trying to awaken.
ELIZA, the first chatbot created in the 60s just used to parrot your response back to you:
I'm feeling depressed
Why do you think you're feeling depressed
It was incredibly basic and the inventor Weizenbaum didn't think it was particularly interesting but got his secretary to try it and she became addicted. So much so that she asked him to leave the room while she "talked" to it.
She knew it was just repeating what she said back to her in the form of a question but she formed a genuine emotional bond with it.
Now that they're more sophisticated it really highlights how our idiot brains just want something to talk to whether we know it's real or not doesn't really matter.
Canadian teams just seem to not want to win. With Toronto more concerned with shooting themselves in the foot the moment they reach the playoffs every year; Winnipeg, Vancouver, Calgary and Ottawa more concerned with cycles of more or less mediocrity; Edmonton who have to rely on 2 players to get them through you're left with the Habs who can't seem to get it together for long enough to make a real impact though I really hope this time around is the one that sticks and I have hope!
Canucks (my team) seem to be preoccupied with one more trade or one more overpaid free agent and we'll squeak in but when that doesn't work out they shit the bed again, just like this year and it's looking worse the next with absolutely nothing in the cupboards (though the Calder cup win makes things look a little better). But we're about to sabotage the career of the greatest player we've ever had because ownership refuses to have a genuine rebuild.
1 - England is not an island, you mean Great Britain.
2 - Almost half the food eaten in the UK has been imported from overseas.
3 - A large proportion (it's difficult to get exact figures and it fluctuates) of energy is imported from abroad in the forms of oil and gas.
Great Britain, and the wider UK, has not been self sufficient for ~600 years relying on colonialism and a maritime empire to meet its needs and trade since it collapsed. If it had to rely on resources available within the island it would collapse in days.
I'm all in for crazy hockey. Boosters, bumpers, multipuck, moving goals, tilting ice, pucks made of different materials, sticks made of different materials, boxing gloves appear at centre ice giving the player who grabs them 30 second free pass for roughing.
I sing Sweet Child O Mine and Sweet Caroline with the other songs melodies. Confuses people nicely.
