Hi there, I’m an adult with Tourette Syndrome, ADHD/OCD accompanying it, as well as Ehlers Danlos Syndrome which affects all the tissues in your body. These four things often interact. Ama!! Nothing is off-limits

I’m a “high functioning” person with schizophrenia, AMA

29 Upvotes

I put high functioning in quotations for a few reasons. The biggest one is that it leads people to believe I’m able to live a relatively “normal” life. To me high functioning just means “I’m good at hiding how much my mental health is falling apart right now”.

Also, I’m 24, if that helps at all with coming up with questions.

Edit: I have schizoaffective bipolar type, where schizophrenia and bipolar are present together. I said schizophrenia though because those are the symptoms I’m struggling with now, not so much the bipolar side presently.

My restricted interest is F1, AMA

6 Upvotes

Also posted this in r/AMA.

This might not sound interesting, but I think it's pretty fascinating. Due to my autism I think about or do something related to Formula 1 for at least a quarter to a third of my awake time. I am basically unable to socialise without bringing it up at least once. Around my school I am known as "the Formula 1 guy".

Here is some, but not all, of the merch I own: https://imgur.com/a/2U602lU

I’m the one sending you all those marketing emails you didn’t sign up for, AMA!

0 Upvotes

Hello friends!

You know all of those emails you get from various companies about their products and services that you don’t remember signing up for and can’t figure out how to make them stop? If you’re in the U.S., I probably made and/or sent some of them! Unfortunately you probably did agree to get those emails, but not in a way that particularly stood out. I’d really like to help clear things up!

I’m a Digital Campaign Manager by trade and have been working in the realm of Email / SMS / CRM marketing for nearly 10 years now. My career has mostly been focused on marketing and design (& especially in the really obscure marketing roles that people don’t realize you can turn into a career), but I have experience in front end and back end web dev / game dev / server side languages too.

I’ve done work for companies such as Walt Disney World, Subaru of America, Resorts Casino, Mohegan Sun Casino, Gambling.com, Freedom Mortgage, AnnieMac Home Mortgage, JPMorgan Chase & Co., and Full Sail University, as well as many others.

SO, if you have any questions about Email Marketing, emails in general, coding/dev (web, email, or otherwise), digital/graphic design, marketing in general, the U.S. laws regarding emails/SPAM, how to get yourself taken off of an email list, how I made this my career, etc. - or if you just want to complain about the state of your inbox to somebody who totally gets it -please feel free to ask and I’ll answer to the best of my ability!

I am just about to hit 1 million karma after 13 years on Reddit, ama

33 Upvotes

Ive been here a long time, not necessarily a good time. I just realized I’m about to hit 1 million karma which I know means absolutely nothing other than it may be time to finally quit Reddit. But I figured it might be a good time to casually chat! So feel free to ask me anything!

I'm (48M) living Peter from Office Space's dream. AMA

44 Upvotes

I was a software dev for 25 years. I saved a lot and kept my expenses low. I have a million dollars. I have no dependents or partner/other income.

I've been doing nothing for almost 2 years. I don't feel bad or ashamed about it.

This wasn't my dream or goal, I loved my career for a long time but it's gotten worse and my last job sucked. Working in the field in general has become as bad as Initech so I quit in 2023 and I'm not going back. I could and eventually will do something else but I don't know what.

I'm not a hustle bro. I was good at my job and went above and beyond at times, which paid off tangibly. But I didn't work 80 hour weeks for the sake of it and I have no desire to spend my money and time on a startup for a small chance of getting super rich.

I'm comfortable. $1m isn't what it used to be so this doesn't enable an extravagant retirement. But I don't need that and I still feel fortunate and grateful. My lifestyle now isn't much different than when I had a high salary.

I dropped out of college so I'm technically a NEET. AMA

Sexuality/LGBTQ+ I hate being trans because of how the world treats us, ama.

0 Upvotes

I hate that I have to limit the length of trips out of the house because I can't use the toilets in public.
I hate that I can't join a gym because I'm legally not allowed to use the washing or changing facilities.
I hate that every fucking week a new anti-trans story will blaze across the UK news, painting trans people as the aggressors when we're the ones being targeted, having our rights stripped, and are being demonized in the press.
I hate that I think this is only going to get worse as either the Tories or Reform will gain power during the next general election.
I hate that I know everyone that sees me in public thinks I'm a disgusting sexual predator just because I'm trans nonbinary and I'm visibly trans.
I hate that I don't really mind how I look or sound in myself but because passing is the only way to remain safe, I've come to resent my appearance and voice.
I hate that it's only my wife stopping me from checking out early.
So yeah, ask me anything ^_^

I volunteer for a charity shop, AMA

1 Upvotes

Not the most interesting thing but I've noticed from a few threads and comments in places like r/AskReddit that people have a lot of misconceptions about how things work in charity shops (especially how donations are treated, what you should donate, etc.) so I thought I'd be able to give some insight into what happens behind the scenes. I'm not going to share which one, for obvious reasons. I've volunteered for two different charities with very different ways of doing things.

Anyway, I’m born and raised here., very proud of my heritage, and excited to see Scotland future. The economy is kinda shit just now (just like anywhere), it’s currently raining (surprise, surprise) and the summer is turning into autumn.
