I have my inbox / notifications hidden using an adblock rule because I am an anxious wreck who posts cringe.

I probably won’t notice DMs.

    99% Likely AI Generated Image Result

    Sorry to ruin the fun, fellow sickos. The image is AI generated, its sole use is as a youtube thumbnail (duh) for a video entitled “When Cops FOUGHT Dangerous Animals” which is a collection of bodycam footage and 911 calls where police are sent to intervene in animal attacks.

    TL;DR: I cannot find confirmation anywhere of a monke killing two cops. This image is used on youtube to promote a video which has three chimp attacks in it and in two of them it’s the chimp who is shot to death by the cops. In one, the chimp is sedated with tranqs and coaxed into a cage.

    The rest of my post. CW: animal attacks, violence, police killing animals.

    I’m not going to watch the whole video because I really don’t want to watch police shoot animals and I don’t want to watch people getting attacked by animals.

    Scrubbing through the timeline I can confirm that the image in the thumbnail is not a still from the video. I think I might have seen a cop get bitten in the crotch by a pitbull but I’m not 100% sure. Either way I imagine that dog is dead now (possibly not though, I did see a video not too long ago where a cop was attacked by the dog, then that cop was shot by another cop and the dog ran off into the night, real slapstick shit.)

    I copied the video transcript text and searched for chimp and the video apparently contains 3 chimp attacks.

    • Travis, the infamous case where the xanned out chimpanzee who was treated like a human family member, used to drive a car around town got pissed off one day and tore his “owner’s” friend’s face and hands off. (2002, Stamford, Connecticut.)
    • Sueko, a 21 year old, 300lb, “privately owned” chimpanzee, escapes confinement and is spotted running away with a rope around her, dragging a chain. She is sedated and returns to a cage in her owner’s van. Before the tranquilizer kicks in she smashes a cop car window and, APPARENTLY, “flips off” an animal control officer. The owner has a long history of issues with the city over keeping this animal. At the time of the event she is ultimately transported to “Monkey Island, a primate refuge” for suitable housing until “the city decides on her future.” (Oct. 20 2010, Kansas City, Missouri.)
    • Buck, ~18 year old, 200lb, “privately owned” chimpanzee attacks his 68 year old “owner” and her 50 year old daughter. The daughter was bitten on her torso and limbs. The chimpanzee was roaming in an outside fenced area when the police arrive, with the owner and daughter barricaded in the basement. The cop shot and killed the chimp. (2021, Pendleton, Oregon.)

    So, sadly, there are no happy stories here. I am going to do more reading and try to find out what ultimately happened with Sueko. I wonder whether she returned to live with her owner Mark Archigo or perhaps she was allowed to live in a sanctuary somewhere.

    Charitable interpretation- they might be referring to the 2006 Palestinian legislative election. You know when “Gazans VOTED FOR HAMAS” etc, conveniently ignoring that tens of thousands of victims of this genocidal campaign hadn’t even been born yet, and tens of thousands more were obviously too young to vote. (Edit: and who fucking cares it doesn’t justify anything.)

    But really, this person is no doubt referring to the USA election and the extent of their analysis is “my political opponents hate when people are slaughtered so this is funny and good.”

    IF you end up with an Amazon product I strongly recommend not connecting it to any network, even (/especially) if you never intend to purchase books through their platform. I recently read about some people losing access to massive libraries / collections off their devices after having one suspected pirate copy of something detected remotely on the device.

    Anecdotally my housemate gave me her old one and it too got remote-wiped. I get the impression it doesn’t happen that often, or we’d see more people complaining about false positive bans and deletions, but yeah… just be wary of Kindles and any of their convenience features. I know a few people on here use them and like being able to upload via email etc but it’s a gamble.

    Maybe I’m foolishly optimistic, but it seems like people want a platform with less unfettered bigotry and tools for mass blocking.

    I don’t have an account on either site so I’m only really seeing bits and pieces here and there but what I have seen is a fair bit of “wow it’s so much nicer here! it reminds me of twitter back when it was full of normal people!” type posting.

    edit: also lots of wailing from hatemongers who feel deplatformed because nobody is being strapped into a chair clockwork orange style to read their unhinged rants.
