For most reg’s who haven’t hit TL3, it’s almost always a result of not having viewed enough topics. If you don’t forum broadly you won’t reach the limits.
That said, I think almost any reasonably well known poster can get bumped manually if they want. Then they too can experience the disappointment of the secret Lounge category that nobody ever posts in.
I tend to doubt you’ve done something dumber than screaming “suck my dick and balls I just got a job at [named dream employer]” on a site whose entire purpose is to broadcast your posts to everyone on earth.
Watching a documentary called Wild Congo. TIL I learned gorillas do it missionary style. Seeing a gorilla in the wild someday would be beyond bucket list for me.
Also I don’t like chimps - there I said it. They’re nasty, conniving and brutally mean - like people. They eat monkeys - which is like eating your little cousins. And their butts are gross.
I watch a ton of zoo shows. I get the feeling from the way they talk about chimps - that if a keeper somehow fell into an enclosure - the chimps would be more certain to kill them than any other animal. Like a tiger, crocodile, lions, gorillas - all might leave the keeper alone. But they said the chimps would tear them to pieces. Creepy.
I’m not the biggest reader in the world, but I go on occasional benders. Books on primates might be the biggest category. I’ve read I think everything by Frans De Waal, several books by Jane Goodall and a few others. My wife and kids and I and even my wife and I before the kids used to go to the zoo a lot and watch the primates far more than anything else. I think a chimp at the Oakland zoo would recognize us.
This post might belong in the heroes thread, but she’s been one of mine since I was very young. I’ve even gone to a couple lectures she’s given. I seriously considered studying anthropology because of her.
With all due respect to Greta Thunberg, If there’s any environmental activist who deserves a Nobel Peace Prize, it’s Jane Goodall.
