  • Israel Keyes admitted to at least one of these but probably did tens if not hundreds. Had caches across the country of supplies and weapons. He was only eventually caught cause he got sloppy and I think had a body or something on his property at some point. Didn’t admit a lot to the police cause he didn’t want media attention and for his daughter to find out, a lot of information is gleaned from missing persons that coincided with where he happened to be at the time (phone pings, plane tickets, etc), and he traveled a lot.

    There’s a long-running podcast detailing what is known about him, called True Crime Bullshit.
















  • All I have to say about the first part is the cope is off the fucking charts 📈

    Please, let’s not get caught up on semantics. If cars are your hobby, that’s perfectly fine, that’s not what I’m talking about. It’s not a zero-sum game.

    It’s different when every single person has no other option but to own a car and have the physical ability to drive or else be completely reliant on someone who does in order to provide for themselves. You don’t work and you don’t eat without a car, and society treats that like a moral failing. Kids don’t go anywhere without (likely white collar) parents chauffeuring them. Elders don’t get groceries without home care assistance. That is the car culture I’m talking about. I don’t give a shit about your hobby tbqh, do whatever the hell you want in your free time.

    I personally abhor owning a car. I hate fueling it, I hate paying for it, i hate maintaining it, I don’t want it. I hate sitting in traffic, I hate the stress of risking my life to get from a to b, I hate missing out on the exercise and fresh air I would get by walking if at least the streets were designed to accommodate me as a pedestrian. I have to own a car to get to work because my work is both a massive complex that I couldn’t walk or bike to even if I lived right outside of it, and the immediate area is exclusively million-dollar homes each with tens of acres to the property. Not just my work, even the community I live in is impossible to traverse without a car. Half the streets don’t even have sidewalks or convenient crosswalks. The streets that do are only designed that way to get kids to school and nowhere else. I can’t afford to live somewhere walkable because those homes are low-supply and high-demand and therefore pretty costly.

    So speak for yourself.
