Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

The tooth fairy once wrote to me IN ELVISH (or at least in runes) ON A LEAF! I was a lot more impressed by this as an adult than I was as a child. I wish I still had that leaf.
As Terry Pratchett said, we tell little lies to children so that they can accept the big lies they need to swallow to survive.
Justice. Mercy. Duty. That sort of thing.
I like to think your dad would have approved of the Dummy Elephant, @rhi.bsky.social .

Kiddo, like many toddlers, used a dummy. We weren't dead keen on it but it helped her soothe so 🤷♂️
Anyway, eventually she got to an age where it felt okay to encourage her, gently, to give it up.
It was about the age she started losing some of her milk teeth.

By the way, reporting it as a 'fake profile' doesn't appear to work since it demands to know what my real Facebook account is, and doesn't seem to accept other URLs any more. But reporting it as 'scam, fraud or false information' does seem to work.
Sorry to bother people again, but yet another fraudster Facebook account has appeared pretending to me. To reiterate, I am NOT on Facebook. Is there any chance people could report this scam account as well? Thank you!
