... and I am so every time, it is, and should be, the default. You can see even my signin on is the genus for the whale known as orca - I AM an animal person, a 'non-human' person - so it's difficult for me to review a documentary on the treatment of animals and do so unbiased or merely to look solely at the technical merits of the docuseries and not the subject of the docuseries - which is the treatment of these chimpanzees.... or is the subject, the humans that captivate, care and grow to love them? Emphasis on the 'captivate' - but granted they DO love, I mean LOVE them and I get it, I do - I really do

I want to say that I truly believe that there are situations, where on occasion the welfare of the animal and the desires of a humans like Tonia, correspond, and I'm all but certain that she means all the best and wants all the best for her primate cousins - however.... ya However, ULTIMATELY it's definitely in the best interests of the animals (and ultimately the humans as well as CERTAINLY the environment and ecosystems of the planet) that PETA's ideology and tactics win the day - I understand that's harsh to suggest, to say that Tonia, who has ostensibly given her time torwards the betterment of these primates, as it relates to thier (and hers) immediate 'wants' and shortsighted needs but sheesh... We have to, now (more than ever and forever more) no longer function 'shortsightedly' - and yes I do realize that when an organism is born within and to captivativity - new fascists are created as to what's 'best' or even 'possible' for the individual and it's a very difficult catch-22, however and again we as the captors and the SELF PROCLAIMED "dominant" species of earth, SELF PROCLAIMED 'superior' species of earth - must not continue to behave shortsighted - we know better let's BEHAVE better, let's behave SELFLESSLY

Please, I IMPLORE YOU - and to Tonia and others , I say 'I'm so very sorry for your loss, your losses and your grief - ironically I'm filled with the same empathy torwards you as am I to the chimps - I don't want you to hurt either - I hope that you can come to peace with this and that you can find a suitable compromise where you can still visit with your loved ones (and I know they are 'loved ones') but try and do so as inhumanely (and i know that sounds like I should mean 'humane' but the definition of 'humane' is to 'act or behave like a human' and to me, that has always meant 'selfishly' as to what's best for the individual) and to do so with the most farsight as you can muster - and thank you for all of your efforts - I KNOW you mean well :)

E1 sum sum and oh geez was the soup d'jour to tag back to the OG r&m and he tried to pull his wool hoodie over our collective eyes with the throwaway multiverse and Simulation reality lines right? So now, e2, we get endless "space mom" which just hits the ear SO harshly it's painful at least throw in a 'SM' or something but my gowd - then today's bowl of plop is "time doesn't matter" to parrot the moronic 'time is a contruct' pop culture nugget - and for the official record - EVERYTHING is a construct of society or academia et al - SURE times a construct but guess what? It's also an extremely relevant, significant and important metric to measure things like, oh idk... Solar orbits , lunar rotations, earthly rotations - and it's EXTREMELY USEFUL in how we... Oh geez why am I explaining it to you all? Sorry, Im a man (lol plus winky face)

Bleh! Im trying to get thru the 'sode but it's difficult - I'm gonna go dunk my head in my cats litterbox and come back refreshed

OH don't forget this chestnut

' I wish I was a egocentric dueche enough to create the portal gun ' or some shiz - it's like, toss in a few Rick&Morty tidbits and we'll be all hard for more? No sir! No.

Is this a joke now? It's devolved into something quite silly, which is unfortunate - I feel it's a sad state of affairs that the mighty HBO / max cosigned on this documentary - granted this was a bad man, objectively even for the times he was in - I have no doubt that his sexual predation was real and traumatized several girls - but I don't see the violent tendencies to suggest he would escalate and in truth had commited serial killings back in the early 70s, Statistically him stopping entirely, is extremely rare and unlikely - especially having been in gold health, having opportunities and not being incarcerated - the documentarian (if you can call her that, and I'm sorry for saying that) often puts words into peoples mouths, never consulted law enforcement nor any professionals of any kind, save for one PI late in her exploits - this in itself is terribly troubling to why the viewer should take stock - perhaps she had and didn't like what she found? Furthermore, and this is big for me, notice the staged meetings and interviews - (obviously HBO lent it's might as a studio in the form of cameramen and editors etc etc) many of these 'first time meetings' were filmed with multiple cameras that had to be set up long before she arrives - these meetings are at best recreations of the original event and at worst, produced and loosely scripted - finally I'd like to add my take on how part of this came to be - SADLY I feel the mother / Jim's step daughter, so fervently indoctrinated her daughter with this fear and caution (albeit warrented), at such a young age, that she did not even need to be told, she could intuit her mother's trepidation, this alone is enough for a formative human to create these core memories that color much of her subsequent years - HOWEVER, this much is true - Sierra has been victimized over and over and over and as she stated, she felt that only her mother cared at all - well I care about you Sierra - I may be critical of this project but I absolutely care about you! I.
