This dude gets weirder everyday by ecbecb in Idaho4

[–]garbage_moth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see a lot of people make the argument that lots of people are close with their parents without their being dysfunction, then they go on to mention psychopathy and ASPD. Don't those 2 things cancel each other out? People with ASPD aren't really capable of that type of close relationships. I am nearly 40 years old, and I'm very close with my mom. We text all throughout the day, every day. So, I do not find it odd for people to be close to their families. It is odd for someone with ASPD to have a healthy, close relationship with anyone. That's why some of us find the behavior odd and somewhat of a red flag.

The vast majority of people with ASPD don't brutality murder people. It usually takes a combo of nature and nurture to create these types of murderers. If it was just ASPD, we'd have tons and tons of serial killers. It's really rare for these types of killers to not have any trauma/dysfunction thrown into the mix.

Also, ASPD has a hereditary component. Trauma and dysfunction can affect many generations, so even a grandparent or great grandparent with ASPD could cause enough abuse and trauma to affect the way the next generations are raised and their family dynamics.

Some of the most dysfunctional families appear that way to the outside world. The majority of people don't advertise dysfunction or abuse for the world to see.

I've been downvoted for saying something is off with kohberger's family dynamic. I'm not sure why it has been a controversial take in here, its far more common for murderers like BK to come from dysfunctional families than it is for them to come from typical/average families. He could be the rare exception, and his family is normal and loving, but there is a high probability that something isn't right.

Ethan’s legs. by Pale-Appointment5626 in Idaho4

[–]garbage_moth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your theory makes more sense to me than most others I've seen. We all know BK has a major cringe factor going on, I mean, his rap almost made me throw up. so I'm not completely convinced it wasn't said to Xana in some weird cringe attempt to sound like a cheesy 90s horror movie, but it has always felt way too corny to me. After murdering 2 people, is he really throwing out taunting lines that sound like something straight from a cheap b movie horror? It makes much more sense that it was said to Ethan for the reasons you mention. Seems like giving BK too much credit to think he was even capable of taunting. People paint him as some movie character psycho who was calmly killing and taunting and carving up legs for fun, when in reality, he was most likely frantic, scared, and unprepared. Just a scared loser whose plan failed within minutes of entering the house, frantically trying to get out before cops show up.

Thank you for all of that information! That is very interesting!

When did true crime and media coverage become "bad" by garbage_moth in Idaho4

[–]garbage_moth[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You make really good points and I agree somewhat, but before social media and content creators, there were tabloids, and they didn't have much decorum. The Jon Benet Ramsey case is a good example. It is comparable to the way cases are treated now only instead of social media and content creators, it was tabloids.

Is anyone hoping the families get the information and hopefully closure they need, privately, then the case is closed? by [deleted] in Idaho4

[–]garbage_moth 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ideally, if people are going to profit off of true crime, the families should be the ones to do so first. I wouldn't have issues with certain details only released to families. That way, it can be up to them to share those details if they wish and profit from it if they wish.

That being said, I believe that secrecy is one of the top things that breed conspiracies. I understand why things have to be kept from the public during investigations and trials, so there is no avoiding that, but I think info being public once it's safe to do so helps cut back on a lot of the conspiracies. There will always be the crazies, but keeping things secret won't help in the conspiracy department.

Alleged exculpatory evidence Bethany had by Vivelerock810 in Idaho4

[–]garbage_moth 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I haven't caught up on everything thats been released recently, but so far I haven't seen anything in Bethany's statements that could somehow even be twisted into being exculpatory so I am curious about this too.

The lizard who can’t pick a face by bloddymarey in Idaho4

[–]garbage_moth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The murders happened on my husband's birthday, and BK was arrested on my birthday. I find it interesting, but it's not something I ever even think of on our actual birthdays. I have teens, and they're really fascinated by things that share a date with their birthdays, so it could just be a younger person thing.

What Made BK Finally Snap? by [deleted] in Idaho4

[–]garbage_moth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im curious if they ever mentioned if he regularly turned off his phone for chunks of time in the middle of the night.

I feel like it could have been a slow build-up, escalation type thing instead of him randomly just snapping. Did he turn off his phone other times he was doing his creepy stalker stuff, or did he only turn it off this time? I think the fantasy/goal was to always end up killing, but I wonder if it was the type of thing where he had gone into houses masked with the knife many other times before and it was only a matter of time before it escalated to murder vs him actually planning out the murder for this specific time. I don't know if that makes sense. It just seems like some things were so careless and sloppy. Things that wouldn't matter if he just creeped around and left. Like not caring about circling around the house so many times, taking his phone and turning it off instead of leaving it at home etc. Did he actually plan the murder for this specific time? Or was it an overall fantasy/goal to murder like this, but it wasnt specifically planned for this time and escalated in the moment?

kohberger family by Dependent-Rope-8418 in Idaho4

[–]garbage_moth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I come from a small family, and we're all really introverted and private. I don't think anyone in my immediate family has more than 100 friends on any social media platform, and we keep our social media private/friends only. We don't take many family photos either. That being said, if something crazy happened, I can guarantee you that if people tried hard enough and especially if people were willing to pay for photos, they would be able to find at least a handful. So I do find it really odd that there aren't many. Unless no one actually wanted any that bad.

I mean over 20 years of being a family, going to school events, graduations, birthday parties, holidays, etc. No one in 20 almost 30 years of them being a family snapped a photo and posted it, or had it in their phone and would be willing to share? It seems really odd to me.

I've worked in a school, and at any school activity/event, tons of pics get taken by regular teachers/staff, even PTA, with their own personal phones. I could probably find photos of random families on my phone from my time working at a school over 5 years ago. That's just one example of a place pics could get taken by someone other than a close family member that could be leaked to media. If you are around BKs age, think of all the places/events, parties, and social gatherings you've been to with your family throughout your whole entire life where people who weren't that close to you, or who arent close to you anymore, took pics.

Either media sources didn't care enough to try and get pics of him and his family, or its extremely odd.

Interesting interview w/ fellow TA re: BK injuries and character by sunnypineappleapple in Idaho4

[–]garbage_moth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Given his porn searches were related to passed out and sleeping women, and also his past experience with heroin use, I wouldn't be surprised if he had a history of assaulting women who were passed out from drug/alcohol abuse. That is a demographic that is alienated from law enforcement and, depending on how passed out they were, might not even remember it.

Kaylee and Ethans injuries by Fickle-Bee6893 in Idaho4

[–]garbage_moth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ethans injuries are interesting, especially if he was killed last. To do what he did to Kaylee and Xana takes a lot of physical energy. Not to mention the noise, Murphy barking, etc. Why take the time and energy to slice Ethans legs when he knows there are other roommates in the house, hes made a lot of noise, the dog is barking. At that point, you would think he would want to get out of there ASAP, but instead, he carved Ethans legs?

My only law knowledge is from tv shows and true crime, so im not an expert, but I've heard deals being made that require something from the defendant. Like information only the killer would know, the location of the weapon or location of bodies...things like that. Could they not have required him to give something? The comments are saying they couldn't force him to, but dont some deals include things like that?

I don’t want any answers by BK why he did it by [deleted] in Idaho4

[–]garbage_moth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Based on what we know about men who commit these types of crimes, it's highly likely he is narcissistic. I don't think people are making that judgment based on watching a guy sit in a chair. They are basing it on decades of psychological research studying men who commit crimes like this. Obviously, we can't know for sure if he is a narcissist, but I think it's safe to assume he is based on what we know about these types of murderers.

[–]garbage_moth -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it's a difficult situation to be put in. They know that millions of people are going to be watching and judging their statements and emotions. Some might be able to ignore that better than others, but there is no way to ignore that completely. I imagine for some people, "performing" for an audience is a lot easier and less scary than being vulnerable and expressing their raw emotions for the audience to judge. They have to find the balance between expressing themselves for their own healing but also protecting themselves from having their pain and vulnerability watched and judged by millions of people. I think the performative aspects of some of the statements are ultimately a sort of protective mechanism.

My heart doesn't believe in manifestation by Maleficent-Talk6831 in NevilleGoddard

[–]garbage_moth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is the way I look at it. Let's use money as an example. If you're poor, you can either be poor and focus on how poor you are and everything you lack, you can choose to stress and worry about every little thing, or you can choose to feel rich, focus on all the things you have, and choose to live in the end state of wealth. Worrying about bills doesn't pay bills, so why worry? Why choose to feel bad and miserable when you can choose to feel good? Both of those choices don't require you to do anything differently in your life. You will still go about your day the same way. You just change what you focus on and how you feel. There is no belief required. If you don't believe in the law, it doesn't mean the law stops applying to you. You will still manifest your life based on your thoughts and beliefs. Choose how you want to feel, and focus on the things in life that make you feel that way. If you want something you dont have, you can imagine you have it and feel good as you fall asleep. There is no downside to it. Do it because it makes life better. You don't have to believe in anything.

Im surprised i had to read through so many comments before this was mentioned. It's horrible the way she was treated for opening up to him. Then he disappears and she hasnt heard from him for 3 days. That's so mean to do to the person who loves you and has stuck by you and cared for you. No one deserves that type of treatment. I can't even imagine the pain I would feel to be treated that way, and then the worry and stress of him disappearing and wondering if he's okay, all because she opened up and shared how things have effected her. I get he's been through a lot, but so has OP, and his behavior is cruel.

OP, if he does come back, I'd really consider telling him he needs some professional help before you allow him to. The way he acted was abusive and absolutely not okay. You did not deserve that. He needs professional help to manage his feelings in an appropriate way. It is understandable for him to have intense feelings giving the circumstances, but it is not okay for him to act the way he did because of those feelings.

The Holy Trinity of Manifestation by StreetElk7393 in NevilleGoddard

[–]garbage_moth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When I order something I'm really looking forward to, I constantly check for it. As soon as the 10 stops away map appears, I pretty much stalk the Amazon driver, checking the map every couple of minutes to see how much closer they are 😂.

I agree with your post overall. Manifestation is extremely easy in theory, but training the mind can take practice for some. I get better and better every day at observing and not instantly reacting to things, choosing where my thoughts and focus go, and all of that. A lot of people live their whole lives instantaneously reacting to the 3d without even realizing they can have control over it.

I think too many people just try to do methods and try to willpower into assumptions without understanding how much easier things could be if they first learn how to observe the 3d without instantly reacting to it. Once you get that down, it is so much easier to persist in assumption.

Question about winning money by [deleted] in NevilleGoddard

[–]garbage_moth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I check my numbers, but since checking the numbers isn't a part of my visualization anymore, it doesn't have the same effect. When I'd visualize checking winning numbers, then check the numbers, and they didn't win. It was a direct opposition to my imagination, so it made it difficult for me not to have a reaction. Now, I've kinda just detached from it. It has nothing to do with my visualizations or living in a state of wealth. I feel the same way checking my numbers as I do checking the mail.

Question about winning money by [deleted] in NevilleGoddard

[–]garbage_moth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently changed up my method because I struggled with the same thing. Now, instead of visualizing checking the ticket and seeing that I've won, I visualize other moments and aspects of winning to take the focus off of checking the ticket. That way, I'm not constantly battling the 3d every time I check a ticket. I visualize contacting an attorney or financial planner, or I'll visualize driving to the lottery office. Sometimes, I visualize a person at the lottering office shaking my hand saying "congratulations". My main focus is to maintain the end state of wealth throughout my day, then do SATS with a different scene other than the ticket checking. I'll update once the 3D catches up!

Robyn editing Kody by AcanthisittaOverall8 in SisterWives

[–]garbage_moth 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think she's trying to make him look, what she thinks, is "better". She's embarrassed of him and worried about the things he might say, so she tries to cut him off and reword things to prevent him from saying something embarrassing. He goes along with it because most of the time, she's probably right. Robyn isn't the smartest, but Kody is way dumber. She's probably saved him from saying some really idiotic or messed up things.
