Anybody else see this photo and think 1) damn, that's a nice smile; he's fine, and 2) my hero.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

I mostly just wish people would stop posting pictures of him. I don't want the wrong person to actually recognize him, and get him caught.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

I mean yeah he's charming but that ain't the guy. Different jacket, different bag.

I collected a small mountain of screenshots from Facebook of people who had United Healthcare claims denied.

Thanks for your service, mysterious internet person!

The mayor of New York City literally said in an interview that the guy was masked the whole time and the face pictures were generated using "police techniques". Why is no one talking about this???

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I think you're probably misinterpreting the quote. Here's the reporting on this from the NYT:

Mayor Eric Adams said Friday morning that the investigation was “on the right track.” In an interview on Spectrum News NY1, the mayor added: “This person was fully masked, and we used good old-fashioned police work to come up with the picture you have.”

I think what the mayor is saying here is that because the alleged killer was masked, the cops actually had to do some detective work, canvas door-to-door maybe, pull security footage, that sort of thing. It wasn't just a case of sitting back and running facial recognition on the killer like something outta CSI.

Unless you're thinking of a different quote.

That was the quote. Thanks, I really did not understand that. I mean, if the guy was "fully masked", they wouldn't have a face shot. He should have said he was "mostly masked".

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

I assume they meant full masked during the shooting, but if there are enough cameras you can follow where someone originated from before they put their mask on and grab a image of their face from maybe a dozen streets away half an hour before the shooting.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Yeah I can see how the quote is super misleading.

[–] [email protected] 78 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Couldn't say it better myself.

I like thinking he was avenging some family member(s) who died due to claim denials, or something along those lines. If we find out he's some Qanon weirdo operating on some conspiracy about endrinochrome or whatever, it's really going to dampen the vibes.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago

I sincerely hope he was. I hope it felt really good. I collected a mountain of screenshots from Facebook today of people who had lifesaving claims denied by them, and it's so shocking written out even though of course it isn't.

If you see someone ~~shoplifting food~~ killing CEOs, you ain't seen shit.

Why the fuck is that mouse cursor pointing right? How did that happen? What kind of loving God would allow that?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago

It's a left handed mouse 😁

Yeah, I mirrored it to make the Drake meme format work. But my question is why the police left a mouse cursor in their security camera photo? Here it is in the original: https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/ace/standard/800/cpsprodpb/vivo/live/images/2024/12/5/30d31dc7-3902-4f14-aa0f-f6ba39f3a79d.jpg.webp

They likely didn't know how to save the file, so they took a picture of the screen.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

That sounds quite plausible...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

The God of mirrors and reflection

[–] [email protected] 54 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I was just asking in another thread for this to replace the Drake meme and you already did it you glorious bastard

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

I'm going to assume we all saw those security camera photos and immediately thought of the Drake meme. Because you and I couldn't have been the only ones...

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 months ago

First they use our help to search sunken rich people, now they want our help to find rich people killers.

Guy on the bottom has a mouse cursor over him so it’s obvious the pic is AI. Can’t prove the top pic isn’t also AI. These pics tell me nothing…this guy probably doesn’t even exist.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 3 months ago (2 children)

What does a mouse cursor have to do with that? It's likely just an old school literal screenshot.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 3 months ago (1 children)

My assumption is that the comment was making a joke to just ignore this face because it isn't real. I assume they know it is, it's just an excuse to not pay attention if you see someone who looks like this.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

You would be correct.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

If anything it makes it less likely to be AI imo. The cursor is pretty much perfect, and you can make out the pixelated diagonal line

I think this scene summarises the situation very well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRcfqpyuk9k

Mr inbetween is the best show no one has heard of. I've watched the whole series multiple times now. I'm sad it was so short. Personally, I think it is better than other popular/critically acclaimed shows like breaking bad.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

I’ve never heard of it. Will watch it today.
