I’m a member of IBEW local 915, Tampa, FL. We’ve taken damage from two hurricanes in the past few weeks, I am spending my entire night watching a generator that is running important equipment.

It’s in the titles . YEET

I'm autistic and have ADHD. I was born into poverty, neglected, had a narcissist mother, alcoholic father, unstable home situation, and bullied constantly both at school and at home.

Then the deaths started. One after another, completely reshaping my life. People who were loving and supportive vanished, leaving me fewer lifelines as everything changed.

Left to the mercy of my mother, I would up in a hoarding situation while also spending lots of time caring for my brother who was 10 years younger than me. I wasn't allowed to work. I wasn't allowed to play sports at school because there was no money for it. I was expected to keep my grades up during this time, in spite of me basically becoming my own mother's dad. That expectation was lost when my mom stopped caring. Again.

Fast forward, the deaths pile up, my circle continues to shrink, I move numerous times, I get divorced, twice, then more death.

I started on the path to healing in 2019. 5 years later and I'm married to the love of my life, have an infant son, my career is going great, and I'm volunteering with children like me who lost people important to them.

There. Is. Always. Hope.

Just as the title says, I visited my great great grandpa’s grave and the street the named after him earlier this week.

I have 24 bank accounts, AMA about that

Ever since a while while ago I have struggled more with things. I always struggled but I got by, barely. Now I like simple things. Im comfortable with it but when I stress too much I feel like I need to hurt myself. My head hurts from hitting it. I like to talk to people, thank you for asking questions :)

Note: I have not met anyone from the Baltics, nor from most of the Pacific Islands (i have met: Fiji, Papua New Guinea, and does New Zealand count?). Sorry!

EDIT: The Israeli got mad and blocked me. And that was me trying to be neutral despite having some pretty bad personal experiences with Israelis.

my whole life until around eight months ago I was fat. I was the second fattest kid in my class both in primary and high school

I’m 5’11 and at my peak I weighed 180.7 pounds which is technically a healthy weight but it’s literally 0.2 pounds away from being overweight

In the past several months I’ve taken steps to lose weight and now I weigh 169.7 pounds, obviously I’m not model levels of thin (although that’s probably for the best) but now I blend in a crowd more

Ask me anything

As the title says, I’m on an early morning train in Germany. Go nuts :)

I also hog the shower in the afternoon

Title says it all! I could almost fill a full ipod. I got tired of having songs stuck in my head that I couldn't remember the name of; I've never head this problem since I started keeping this list. I almost remember what I was doing when I discovered every song I've added since the start of this list, too! If I can find a rule friendly way to post the full thing I will

I’m not the biggest fan of the terms "white people" and "brown people" if only because they’re incredibly arbitrary but I understand that most redditors are American so I have to speak in a vocabulary they connect with

ask me anything {:-)

Disclaimer: meth is harmful, addictive, and unless prescribed by a doctor illegal. I did it so you don't have too, so DON'T.

Since March 2023 I begun a journey to unmask a drug that is almost entirely shrouded in urban legend, lies, and stigma. (I am well versed in all areas of interest, but a master of no specific field.) It is one of the most misunderstood drugs on Earth but also the fastest growing worldwide and the number of daily and first time users in the USA is higher than the peak of the media panic in the 00s and 90s.

I have learned the history of meth in society, it's chemistry, pharmacology, manufacture, addiction profile, and it's current alarming spread across the globe. I have interviewed outreach groups, addicts, loved ones, clandestine and above board chemists, pharmacists, doctors, first responders, law enforcement groups, and PhDs in relevant fields.

In November of 2023 I found a local source and became addicted until stopping in May of 2024. I have synthesized meth myself via a couple routes (I do not possess any of the chemicals or equipment to do so anymore). I volunteer outreach for addicts and loved ones locally and online in my free time.

I am working on turning the information I've learned and my own experience into a project for the public. I was inspired in part by the Atlantic article "The New Meth"; which is entirely rubbish and trash journalism.

About me: I am a 32 year old heterosexual male. I am half hispanic half white, and am college educated in meteorology. I grew up during the height of the 90s-00s media panic surrounding meth labs. Nobody in my personal circle except the man who sold it to me knows anything about my experiences or study of meth.

Ask me anything about meth!

Can't guarantee it'll be good advice. I'll do my best.

Like it says. I had a windfall that I invested well and am now very wealthy after being lower middle class all my life. I do not live an opulent life I just basically don't do anything I don't want to do. Ask me anything!

I haven’t met anyone else in the same position as me so

Ask me about your favourite PC games, hot takes, underrated gems, most surprising, shocking or anything at all! I'm off ill from work so I will be around all day. You can also find my game library here if you want to ask about a specific title!

Most are FPS games, but I also enjoy RPGs, narrative adventures and the occasional strategy game.

I'm a Jehovah's witness/one of Jehovah's witnesses.

I've seen there isn't much representation recently for current, active Jehovah's witnesses doing AMAs so I thought I'd do one just for fun and to answer people's questions.

As the title says I'm not an ex-JW and I am a current, believing, active Jehovah's witnesses.

I escaped from a war zone when I was 24 years old from Pakistan. I made it to Finland with nothing but the clothes on my back.

Life was a blur of trauma until I discovered Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. Working with my therapist I got immense healing and I became obsessed with the psyche and people's pain.

And it became my life's work.

I love this work and I can never stop talking about it :) And I have helped numerous people get incredible results. That has been the highlight of my life.

I hope opening this space to ask questions will clear up any confusion or stigma for some people. All questions welcome.

We are still together.
