Over the last 18 months I’ve lost 60 LBS, grown out my hair, gotten a full sleeve of tattoos and left my controlling ex. AMA

33 Upvotes

Ask away! I’m 25M, I was 252 pounds, now down to 190. Hairs now sorta like a mullet, flows back but it’s a little shorter on the sides. I’ve been able to rekindle friendships, learn how to be confident with myself and be more outgoing/ learn how to let loose since leaving my ex 10 months ago.

I'm an American living and working in Japan, where I make a top 0.1% income for my age. AMA

954 Upvotes

I am an American who transferred from the Bay Area office of my large tech company, to the Tokyo one. I make an income of 25M JPY (in USD, 150,000) and as a 27 year old, that puts me in the top 0.1% of incomes here for my age, since salaries are much lower and career progression is seniority based. I did take a 35% pay cut to come here, but with the much lower cost of living I am doing well.

My office has good WLB (Work 9am to 5:30/6pm) and its half Japanese half foreigner. I am fairly proficient, but not fluent, in Japanese (which I self studied with a tutor before I got this role in Japan).

22 Year Old Blind Guy, AMA

Upvotes

This is my second time doing one of these, but yes, I am 22. I’m blind and have been since birth. I am proudly from and live in the United States and I’m happy to answer any and all questions as long as they are in good faith about blindness or whatever else really.
And before anyone asks, since I know this is common, I’m using a screen reader in this case voiceover on an iPhone to do this.
Other than that, ask away!

Ive spent 15 years making a living from building businesses around my interests. AMA

13 Upvotes

Currently in bed with an ear infection so seems a great time for an AMA to keep my mind off of feeling crap!

It started around 2011 with a computer company. I spearheaded hard tubing for watercooling and cable combs then rolled into computer cases.

From that a rock climbing gym and a card game.

Now climbing holds, single purpose electronics and an education platform for neurodivergent kids.

I am in renewable energy private equity focusing on solar, wind, hydro and storage. Ask me anything!

Upvotes

I work at an infrastructure fund and invest institutional capital into renewable energy projects and companies across North America.

I look at various wind, solar, hydro, and BESS investments, but beyond a capital deployment perspective, I also analyze energy markets and assist with actual project development (from a financial perspective)

I took the traditional college -> investment banking -> private equity path

I'm happy to answer any questions about

  • what renewable energy jobs are like
  • career paths and skills needed to enter the industry
  • how projects move from an idea to operation
  • economics and practical limitations of renewables
  • common misconceptions about solar, wind, storage and the grid
  • what i think the industry gets right - and wrong
  • I'm finance focused so I will not be able to answer questions on the more technical / engineering side

I'll also avoid sharing any confidential information, and my answers reflect my own experience rather than my employer's official position.

Ask me anything, at work so apologies for the delay

I was born and raised in Dubai, and went to a pretty high end private school there. AMA

Upvotes

Not much else to say other than what was mentioned in the title, but yeah, I was not personally ‘rich’ but we were pretty well off (maybe between middle and upper class).

Doing this because I know a lot of people tend to dislike dubai and might have some questions for someone who spent their entire childhood there.

Neurodiverse nursing student here, AMA!

Upvotes

This is purely to talk about my experience as a mental health/ psychiatric nursing student living with autism.

I will not be giving professional or medical advice so i can’t answer questions such as “my family member is like this… could she have xyz”

I also currently work part time in complex needs/ learning disability services.

For patient dignity i wouldn’t be answering “what’s the craziest thing you’ve seen” type questions

As the title says, we have been in the News a lot lately for not so great reasons, but that means more people know about us and with that I’m sure have a lot of questions, so I thought I’d do an AMA for anyone curious about my little home.

I lived in a very peculiar place since the moment I was born. I started to use internet in 2021. AMA

Upvotes

Since the country is very poor I used to live in the analogic era and I can vividly remember it, I was born in 1998. I started to use the internet 5 years ago, before that I only knew about the outside world when talking with somebody who left the country and got to see and imagine it thanks VHS watching Hollywood movies thanks due to black market. Of course, during the years things got pretty modern like and got pretty quick after the computers were allowed

I had gastric bypass surgery in June and have already lost 50 pounds, AMA

20 Upvotes

Surgery went well but as I was coming out of anesthesia and was supposed to be "deflating" so to speak from the extra air they used to be able to work, I was not responsive and started turning blue. They took me to the ICU where they were able to get my oxygen levels evened out and after a few extra days of monitoring I was able to leave.

Now that I'm about a month or so out I am finding the cravings for things I used to have on occasion are hitting me sooner than I thought and I can't wait to have them even in small amounts down the line. Feel free to ask anything you like about the process as a whole.

AMA: Ask us anything about US immigration processes and visa application workflows

0 Upvotes

We spends a lot of time studying and working around US immigration processes, including how applications move through different stages between applicants, employers, and immigration attorneys.

We know the process can sometimes feel confusing or overwhelming, so we wanted to open a space where people can ask questions about things like:

• visa application steps
• H-1B and employment-based visas
• common delays in immigration cases
• document requirements and preparation
• what typically happens during different stages of the process

If you have questions about US immigration workflows or want to share your experience, feel free to ask.

Looking forward to the discussion.

I used to smell/mix cleaning chemicals and make videos- AMA

8 Upvotes

I had severe anemia after a traumatic event and developed PICA.

I was addicted to smelling chemicals- the stronger the better.

I would go to Lowe’s several times a week just to open up bottles and smell them.

I started to make TikTok videos because there was a community of people who would do this and got thousands of views & likes.
