That chimp holds the phone a lot closer to his face than a human would. I wonder if he needs glasses?
Otherwise, he seems to navigate the smart phone just like a human would. I remember a year or so after iPhones first came out, there was a video of a baby playing with an iPhone, and the baby could easily swipe around and look at stuff he was interested the same as this chimp was doing. It's amazing that the high tech smart phone interface is so intuitive even to simple minded creatures.

Elon Musk made a rather clever observation on the Joe Rogan podcast, that despite the essentially incredible advances in technology that would facilitate the creation of 'smart phones'.
The interface & we as people, have actually regressed from using all ten fingers on keyboard & mouse, to only two thumbs on the touch screen...

The Simpsons was a very 90s show, and very reflective of 90s cultural sensibilities. (It's a terrible shame that the entire writing and animation staff were simultaneously eaten by wild boars on January 2nd, 2000, and they had to cancel the show. But god, could you imagine how awful that show would be if it was still running today?)
Trying to view it through the lens of 2019 is a mistake, and leads to all sorts of silly things like saying that having Michael Jackson on your show as a guest star in 1991 was indoctrinating America to accept pedophilia. (The first allegation against him was made in 1993, for actions that started in 1992.)
The Simpsons was heritage American culture poking fun at itself, and it was a lot of fun.
To get a sense for just how different America was at the time of the Simpsons, here's a clip of an old Simpsons Halloween special, where presidential candidates Bill Clinton and Bob Dole are replaced with aliens.
Can you imagine a scene like this with Obama and Romney, or Clinton and Trump? No way.

That whole treehouse of horror segment on the 1996 election was one of the greatest satirical blasts on the history of TV and film. It was a pretty accurate presentation of the crappy choice we had that year.
If you want a black pill, scroll through your lady's Facebook wall. The sheer volume of vapid gossip, celebrity news, and hoaxy "feel good" content is stunning.

I just scroll through the Trump Thread - same thing.

She's 10 years younger than me. She's probably the most feminine girl I've ever been with. Lady in the streets, demon in the sheets type of scenario. Modest and soft spoken. Half latina. Excellent use of makeup, excellent feminine style. Skinny with natural tits and an incredible latina ass that you could set a drink on. As soon as we walk into anywhere, all eyes on her, or us. We're a damn good looking couple. There's definitely an ego thrill in being with her. She's got that very specific type of torso...long, slender, but with curves, literally the perfect ratio, that stirs something inside of you, makes you just slightly weak in the knees, and she knows how to move it, but she's not showy. When we go on dates and she does it up; hair, makeup, tight sexy dress, high heels...she's truly a sight to behold and trust me people notice. I'll just smile at her admiring this work of art and she'll look at me with a kind of goofy smile and say, "What??" and I'll smile and say, "Nothing." She's not an attention whore. Her Instagram is pitiful with like 30 followers and zero selfies, instead it's just pictures of places in nature that she likes. No facebook.
But beyond all that, she's just an incredibly nice and good person. I've never once gotten snark from her and she's not sarcastic. If I had to guess I'd say she's inexperienced for her age or been in mostly LTRs up to this point. In an age where it's so hard to come by, and for all intents and purposes it's impossible in Vegas. I managed to meet her 2 weeks after she moved here, so I totally lucked out. No tattoos, no dyed hair. She's the type of girl you see abroad. Her Spanish is sexy as hell. Comes from extremely loving parents and was raised with traditional values. Identifies as Christian but she's not a crazy bible thumper. Makes my bed every day, washes the dishes. Is a very good cook (and that's coming from me). She's smart without being a showoff. She's got depth. She wants kids. Her career choice is one that's very compatible with having kids.
That enough? She marks off damn near every box I could ever hope for. I'm sure there's gotta be a red flag in there somewhere but i haven't seen it yet.
The moment I met her one of my first thoughts was, "Goddamn this one is a diamond in the rough" and every day I spend with her only reinforces that feeling. How's that for a pedestal haha

You definitely got a keeper. It is so rare to find a girl that you just described: from a strong and stable family environment with traditional values, wants to have kids, knows how to cook, good personality, etc.
As for "red flag", two questions to think about:
* does she take selfies frequently? From what you mentioned in regarding to her social media habit, sounds like she doesn't take selfies so that is a good thing.
