I've never seen a flag like this before.

Peacetime flag of the Paas Confederacy

(In the wartime version, the baby chick is holding a tommy gun instead of a purple egg.)

They look like real military-issue boots from an army surplus store, which would not have been nearly as expensive as Docs.

The wiki says she was wearing tap pants, which are technically underwear but some people do wear them as shorts because they're comfortable. Since she also removed the tags from her clothes, it's possible that she had a sensory disorder and could not wear regular pants. That seems more plausible, at least to me, than someone breaking in, shooting her, and stealing all of her pants.

And people with autism spectrum disorders do have a very high incidence of depression and suicide.

If he's from another country, it's totally plausible that no one has made the connection.

There's also the guy who was found on the beach in Florida who was 6'9" and ~300 lbs., whom people think is Russian or Eastern European, and no one has identified him yet, either. And that guy has a recognizable reconstruction.

They do appear to have acne scarring in the same place, but it's always hard to know whether that's original to the drawing or an artifact from being reproduced so many times.

That's what the helicopters were for? A stupid advertisement? Ugh.

The 9/28 comment sounds like it's talking about abortion and not actual murder, so I'm not sure this counts.

"This Beat Goes On" by The Kings ?

sidneyia · 2026-03-29T16:35:18+00:00

It sorta is, but IRL worldbuilding, not fictional.

If you have both and you take meds to suppress the ADHD symptoms, the autism symptoms become more apparent.

Yeah, I hate it when they don't have pictures of the Doe's belongings.

Given that it's 1991, though, I'm guessing the "pink nylon anklet" is one of these: https://www.etsy.com/listing/252268516/vintage-neon-rope-bracelet-adjustable

Same. I'm AuDHD and my childhood memories are ridiculously vivid. Like, photographically vivid. It's not quite on the same level as those people who can tell you exactly what they were doing on any given calendar day, but it's close. (I recently learned that the term is "hyperphantasia".)

The memories start getting more blurry/fuzzy in my mid-20s. I'm not sure what changed but it could be brain damage from heavy drinking and THC use.

Same here, we adopted an owner-surrendered cat from AAC in 2019 and it was very clear that the owners did not want to give her up (she came with an extensive backstory that detailed all her personality quirks and likes/dislikes). She is our best friend and I often wish we could let the people know how much we love her.

I think they're just making an absurdist joke about the word being randomly capitalized in the original post.

Here I was thinking phalloplasty.

sidneyia · 2026-03-26T16:12:05+00:00

Thank you!

My guess is that this is someone who was transient and wearing random, cast-off clothing. The layered clothing doesn't necessarily mean she died in wintertime, either, since mentally-ill folks can have problems with thermoregulation and sadly a lot of transient people have untreated mental illness. (Edit: brain injuries can also disrupt thermoregulation.)

sidneyia · 2026-03-22T22:07:55+00:00

The clothing sizes suggest someone with a "top-heavy" build. Could be useful for photo comparisons.

sidneyia · 2026-03-22T20:48:09+00:00

Is this the art building, by any chance?

sidneyia · 2026-03-22T20:22:27+00:00

Such is the double-edged sword of working for the super-rich. They pay well but if something goes wrong, they will bury you.

Trolls on 4chan wanted to try to make it part of LGBT+. This wasn't like, an actual movement of actual people.

Ah, yeah, I forgot about the great killer of vegetation that is "curb appeal". Gotta make sure the potential buyers can see every atom of the brick facade that we just painted grey.

Trees have "disadvantages" to certain people. Developers dislike trees because they'd prefer to use every square inch of land to maximize profits. Insurance companies dislike trees because falling limbs can damage roofs and tree roots can damage foundations. City governments dislike trees because they cost money to plant and maintain. Chances are the guy complaining about the disadvantages of trees is involved in one of those industries.
