That's important @Lilmeowmeow. I learned that living with guilt can eat you up.
What's the one thing that made you smile today ?

Orangutan granted legal personhood moves to Florida
An orangutan granted legal personhood by a judge in Argentina is now hanging in Florida.
Sandra, who is 33, was born in Germany and spent 25 years at the at the Buenos Aires Zoo before arriving at the Center for Great Apes in the Sunshine State on Tuesday.
“She was shy when she first arrived, but once she saw the swings, toys, and grassy areas in her new home, she went out to explore,” center director Patti Ragan told The Associated Press.
“She has met her caregivers here and is adjusting well to the new climate, environment, and the other great apes at the Center. This is the first time in over a decade that Sandra has had the opportunity to meet other orangutans, and she will meet them when she chooses. It is a new freedom for her, and one we are grateful to provide.”
A 2014 ruling declared Sandra a non-human person and legally not an animal. She was granted some legal rights enjoyed by humans.
“With that ruling I wanted to tell society something new, that animals are sentient beings and that the first right they have is our obligation to respect them,” Judge Elena Liberatori told The Associated Press.
Lawyer and activist Paul Buompadre said after the ruling that it “opens the way not only for other Great Apes, but also for other sentient beings which are unfairly and arbitrarily deprived of their liberty in zoos, circuses, water parks and scientific laboratories,” according to Wired.
Sandra joins 21 orangutans and 31 chimpanzees at the center.

I had some entertaining passengers (taxi) tonight.
1. Guy going to a brothel but he didn't know if his favourite girl would be there. So he gave me 5 Euros to wait 10 minutes. He didn't come out.
2. Two guys coming from a gay bar. Hammered as fuck. Their ride was about one kilometer. They couldn't comprehend that it's already paid for via app so they gave me 5 Euros cash.
3. Dropped a girl off at a bus stop and a guy was waiting there. I asked him what's up and he said he's ordered a taxi but it wasn't coming. So I offered him I'll take him for 5 Euros. He got in but said 5 is "way too much" and negotiated it down to 4. Turned out he's also a taxi driver...
