If it's a baby from Nigeria, it's from a very small group on the border with Cameroon, one of the rarest gorilla subspecies there is. Returning it would be putting it back into possible poaching. Poachers likely killed its parents to get the baby.

Same.
There's a song by the Armenian band Ladaniva that's just a few lines about a mountain home with a table that sits under a fig tree for the season. It's relatively vague imagery with beautiful haunting vocals. Makes me ugly weep every time. No idea why. It's the only song that has ever affected me like that. But there's something about the idea of just a homey, simple life and how gar away that is that makes it seem all the more important.
Yeah, that was the last straw TBH.
I occasionally have to do some OSINT-ish research online, and it keeps getting harder and harder to get what I nerd from Big G. So much noise and trash. 2019 was the year they jumped the shark.
Yeah, same with my dad. Best thing that ever happened to him was a Nigerian scammer tried to hijack his account and FB suspended the account for 6 months.
But then a week later he had some new account with no friends just for the reels. ಥ_ಥ
Wait...purchase? With what money? All that savings from Elon's DOGE fantasy that hasn't done anything yet?
Zuck just realized that his main FB user base is older conservative people that he can either lose even more to X and Gab, or he can let FB turn into the wild west the users want.
His IG user base is stable, young, and left-leaning. So he still has those users in another segment of the business until some mass exodus to pixelfed that won't every really happen.
Oh man, and when all the Boolean operators were revealed to work on search, doing some "Google-Fu" was laughably easy, but blew people away. Back before there was so much noise, anything online was possible to find.
Oh...
I'm also not getting them.
Are....are we robots?
Or are we too human for the robots?
The week I changed from HotBot to Google was a revelation. The jump from barely scraping the surface of the web to being able to find anything was like finally getting the full promise of the internet. Can't be undersold how great Google was from 2001-03 until around 2013-16.
Can't doxx people that gladly shout this kind of stuff in public.
I see what you did there.
