Vent: tried that 'follow the money' method on a local housing deal

So I got curious about a big development going up near my street in Austin. I started tracking the LLCs and permits back like a true amateur detective. Took me about 4 hours across county records and state filings. Turns out the same guy who pushed a zoning change through city council 2 years ago is a silent partner in the construction firm. I learned that public records are a goldmine if you have the patience to dig, but it also made me mad how hidden these connections stay. Has anyone else found something sketchy by just looking at the paperwork behind a local project?

That stat about JFK witness deaths always bugged me until I actually looked into it

I was reading through some old Warren Commission stuff online last night, and I found out that out of 552 people who were near Dealey Plaza that day, only 15 died unnaturally within 3 years. That surprised me because I always heard people say it was way higher. Found the numbers on a site called the JFK Facts page run by a guy named Max Holland. Has anyone else checked the real stats on that?

I finally dug into the JFK files myself instead of reading summaries

Pro tip: Someone told me my podcast audio was too thin, so I changed my mic placement

Showerthought: Ever notice how grocery store avocados went from always rock hard to always mushy in like 5 years?

Spent 3 hours trying to debunk a flat earth video before realizing it was satire

Buddy of mine swears the government is hiding alien tech in that new microchip factory going up near Fresno

PSA: Don't fall for those 'proven underground bunker plans' on Etsy

Debate: Did my neighbor's leaf blower at 7 AM actually save my Saturday or ruin it?

TIL that the worst week of my life was actually a Tuesday to Tuesday stretch, not Monday to Friday

That prediction about Bigfoot being a hoax by the 90s... I think we jumped too soon

The chemtrail thing I brushed off for years finally got me thinking

My buddy swore the moon landing was faked and I pushed back hard

Used to think chemtrails were fake until I saw that plane over Phoenix last summer

My uncle the flat earther actually made a good point about lake water levels

Debate: Did the moon landing footage actually come from a soundstage, or is that just bad physics?

Overheard a guy at the gym saying 9/11 was an inside job and I actually think he was onto something

5 years of buying my own cell service and finally figured out the prepaid trick

That guy in the comments shredded my moon landing evidence so hard I had to rethink everything

Had to pick between the moon landing being fake or JFK being a CIA hit, and I actually changed my mind on one.

Hot take: choosing between keeping my old CRT monitor or upgrading to a flat screen back in 2005

Just realized my local news had the moon landing story all wrong for 30 years

Dropped $500 on a prepper bunker course and it was all common sense

An old forum user told me to stop fact-checking sources and just follow the paper trail instead

My uncle who fixes old radios told me FM stations are purposely broadcasting a few milliseconds off to mess with people
