So, America... big on the military.
I work for an American company. We do a fair amount of charity things and one of them is a thing called a ruck, in aid of raising awareness about soldier suicide which is a real and serious issue.
A ruck involves a long hike with a heavy backpack. We had some t-shirts supplied which had a sweat-activated message on the back.

Performative moral self-flagelation is as American as thinking apple pie or hamburgers originated in America.
Companies: Let’s make our employees spend a day being uncomfortable to remind ourselves and others how the realities of military training and service break people apart inside, and then the complete lack of institutional empathy or effective resources to help these people drives many of them to suicide!
Someone: Maybe we shouldn’t subject people to conditions that are so clearly damaging?
Companies: Whoa, let’s keep politics out of this please.
Someone: Uh, ok, how about spending more public resources on supporting active and ex-soldiers who are suffering so bitterly?
Companies: Whoa whoa whoa, raising taxes isn’t going to help anyone. Just stop talking, keep walking, smile for our TikTok, and get back to work tomorrow.

iPhone suggests a slideshow it has made titled
Portraits: summer 2023.
The first slide is me and my son, ok, looks good.
Then it cuts to 5 images of my face, post traumatic bike crash.I guess curation isn’t their strong point.

It really needs the home made aero helmet that someone on here created.

Thank you!
It looks better than I remember.
I feel bad about teasing because it's actually pretty cool thing to do. More power to the amateur helmet makers. -

Today I thought I am buying some kind of Dragon fruit, turns out it's Prickly pears and they are
covered in tiny thorns and now my left hand is too.
Idk reads like a power move to me.
Maybe your AI is trying to tell you to be more dominant.
