there are a lot of reasons that people become estranged from their families, not all of them involve abuse or homophobia or even the family being the primary bad guys, and the public does not have a right to know the identity (or the family) of a suicide victim who worked very hard to anonymize himself

I think it’s totally possible the stories are exaggerated tales of a real thing. There’s lots of things we discover every year and there are not a lot of conservation / bio types running around Mongolia.

The "People's Right to Know." Unless you were personally involved, or it has a direct impact on your life, you do not have a right to know.

I hate the term "web brutalism" so much. Those designs aren't brutalist. They're avant-garde, sure, but brutalism entails a rejection of affectation and ornamentation and if anything, those websites are over-designed and brimming with affectation. And that article details the history of architectural brutalism and then just totally discards it so it can justify the use of the term in modern web design. If we could hook Le Corbusier up to a turbine we could solve the world's energy problems. The unnerving story is how much I care about this stupid term

If anything, modern flat design embraces that poo poo already, and aside from a really neutral color palette, it's hard to see how they could go much further.

I unironically like it for very specific purposes, but it's hard to see how to apply the same principles to web design short of going to a completely barren, black and white interface, with no attempt to be welcoming or friendly, but strictly optimized for maximum clarity.

It's pretty unnerving that over the 250ish pages I read of this thread there were constant derails. Not unexpected though given it's SA. On topic, my favorite cryptids are Mothman and the Flatwoods Monster, maybe because they're up near my neck of the woods since I've lived in the mid-atlantic the vast majority of my life. also they aren't really scary once you look at the renditions of them

That said, laws are bullshit. That was my point. If you are a public figure, you pretty much don't have a private life. If I get arrested for something, you have a "legal" right to have access to the arrest report, and other public documents. You don't have a right to know any details about my private life separate from the details/circumstances of the arrest.

I'm particularly sympathetic to the family here, because there is no possible universe where their identities becoming public doesn't immediately lead to indefinite harrassment from internet weirdos, neverending requests for interviews, and absolutely all their dirty laundry being aired in public and coming up anytime a prospective employer or casual acquaintance googles their name. Even if the reason Lyle broke contact is not embarrassing, they'd be subjected to a neverending series of cranks dead set on proving their "theory".

Yeah, my question would be "what public good would be served in this particular case by releasing this information?" I mean, sorry Internet Detectives don't the closure they think they need but tough poo poo.

It's obvious that the family became estranged because of a disagreement over whether mashed potatoes should be lumpy or smooth.

Speaking of families this was pretty  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikki_Catsouras_photographs_controversy quote:Two CHP employees, Aaron Reich and Thomas O'Donnell, admitted to releasing the photographs in violation of CHP policy. O'Donnell later stated in interviews that he only sent the photos to his own e-mail account for viewing at a later time, while Reich stated that he had forwarded the pictures to four other people.[3] Catsouras' parents soon discovered the photographs posted online. The pictures had gained much attention, including a fake MySpace tribute website that actually contained links to the photographs.[3] People also anonymously e-mailed copies of the photos to the Catsouras family with misleading subject headers, in one case captioning the photo sent to the father with the words "Woohoo Daddy! Hey daddy, I'm still alive."[1] This led the Catsouras family to withdraw from Internet use and, concerned that their youngest daughter might be taunted with the photographs, to begin homeschooling her.[3]

Holy poo poo. Would it be terrible to show my friend those pictures next time I catch him doing over 100 in farmland? We all refuse to ride with him because frankly he's going to end up dead or killing someone or both.

Those photos were posted in GBS back in the day. It was a thread warning of the dangers of driving too aggressively. Story attached said the driver had argued with her mother before stealing her father’s car. Then crashed in to the toll booth.

I haven't seen those photos either. However I have seen photos of what happens to a man's skull if he stands in front of a jet fighter that's catapulted from an aircraft carrier. I recommend not seeing those photos.
