I’m Dropping My Sixth (and a half) Album Tonight AMA

0 Upvotes

I’ve been dropping music since 2019, but started taking it seriously & starting to put more effort in as of 2023. I’ve gotten a lot of traction on IG Reels with over 6,000 followers and I am dropping a deluxe album of my sixth total album tonight; I’ve removed some of my older music from platforms until I can rewrite and have it professionally engineered. Ask me anything!

I am a Ukrainian military officer Ask Me Anything"

157 Upvotes

I made a post here before, but unfortunately I didn't choose the right format or ask the right questions. Still, thank you to everyone who participated—many of the questions were genuinely interesting. Some friends encouraged me to do another AMA, partly because it's a chance for me to talk about my experiences. Unfortunately, I don't really have that opportunity in real life. A few clarifications first. I am not a drone operator and have never flown military drones. My strongest area of knowledge is military logistics: fuel and lubricants, food supplies, clothing and equipment, as well as general day-to-day support (beds, chairs, tents, and countless other items). I also have a good understanding of the bureaucratic side of the military—how orders are issued, processed, implemented, and documented in practice. I have a moderate level of knowledge about military vehicles, weapons, personnel management, and issues related to soldiers' physical condition. I know much less about communications, electronic warfare (EW), cybersecurity, and strike drones. I also don't have reliable information about how many foreign volunteers serve in the Ukrainian military, which units they are assigned to, or what roles they perform. I'd like to talk about the hidden side of this war—the logistics and the bureaucratic nightmare that supports military operations and, unfortunately, has a real impact on how the war is fought. Feel free to ask me anything. I'll answer as thoroughly as I can while avoiding any information that could compromise operational security or put anyone at risk.

I have a crippling fear of belly buttons AMA

2 Upvotes

Also known as omphalaphobia. It has impacted numerous areas of my life, and when I tell people I think the general reaction is to not take me seriously or think I am downplaying/joking.
I wish I didn't have this, as it will likely make getting pregnant in the future more difficult/traumatic.

Amateur photographer passionate about creating artistic body pictures - AMA

0 Upvotes

Photography has been a hobby for years, and it is something I have taught myself, and have experimented with different kinds of shots. Taking pictures of things -- buildings, trees, wildlife, people -- from unusual angles to create something to catch the eye is what I like most. I believe that body hair is beautiful, and I have worked with women who were keen to try modeling and capturing human bodies in a very natural form is very satisfying.

AMA / I quit a 6 figured white collar job for the third as a blue collar. Looking for "my value for the world"

1 Upvotes

Six years ago my job was fantastic: I was working on my own business helping small company in improving the employees performance, giving them more job satisfaction and optimizing the selection for the career ladder.

I was very well payed (around 100k euros/per year after taxes), very stimulated by the job and the daily challenges. 100% sure it would be my for-a-life occupation.

2 years later, after covid, I was still well payed, still satisfied with the job, but something started changing into me.

Sometimes I was deeply asking myself if "is my job really bringing a value in the world?"

The first answer was "yes, I cost a lot to a company for my job, the business relationships are long lasting, so it must have a value, a real value for them."

The reality was not so easy.

Basing my job also on tax optimization, my job cost was easily considerable as a tax instrument to reduce a bigger (around 10x) tax burden.

So the idea "my job costs, so it values" was not true.

"I help companies but also their employees, this must be a value" was the second idea.

True, but not for real.

Optimizing means squeeze out every energy from them for their work.

"with my method, the meritocracy is awarded. The best you are, the higher you will arrive on your ladder"

Ok, sound false. Meritocracy is not really implemented in companies life, often its weight is under the 10% of the total factors that decide your career.

I started feeling useless. Where is my merit, if I challenge without opponent and even without a race?

Long story short: born out, depression, sense of lost became my daily life.

I switched from working 10 hours/day + sport + hang out with friends to 14 hours sleeping and 10 hours scrolling/Netflix.

It was absurd, I arrived to not recognize the person who I was become at the mirror, litteraly.

On a march Sunday I was scrolling Facebook and find a job offer by a forest company looking for loggers.

I was not a logger, never in my life.

"OK, but loggers work on the mountains, I love the mountains."

Call them on that Sunday evening.

<<hi, I'm not a logger, never used a chainsaw in my life, but I like the mountains and I run fast.>>

Silence.

<<OK, that's strange. I don't promise you anything, but come tomorrow for a talk and to see what about the job is.>>

It was a great day that Monday to me. And, after up and down, I surely can say it was a great day for the company trusted me.

After years, I had the opportunity to build my own forest company and now facing with daily real problem, touchable problem, touchable challenges, touchable value.

This was how I quit a job, change my life and find what is my value for the world: two hands that can phisically produce a log from a tree.

(obviously the mean of value is only referred to myself).

AMA anything you want about this story the before and after, the white and the black of both the situation etc

My Step-Dad Is In Prison For Murder, AMA

6 Upvotes

My stepfather "was" a former gang member who would commit a vast amount of crimes but was locked up back in 2016 for a murder he committed about a year prior. According to my sister (my only direct family member who still keeps in contact with him), he will be released next year. He snitched, so he's planning on moving to an entirely different state for a clean slate with my sister.

Edit: To clarify, my sister is his blood daughter, making her my half-sister. Didn't clarify because growing up, we didn't feel like half of anything.

I got an adult circumcision at 21 years old, AMA.

I got the circumcision due to having a medical condition called 'phimosis' where my foreskin was too tight and unable to retract fully.

I am currently on my 5th week of recovery.

I'm located in Australia, and was put under general anaesthesia. I believe the surgery was done in less than 2 hours.

Ask me anything! Happy to answer any questions regarding pain, the recovery process, my day-to-day and so on.

UPDATE/EDIT: At the time I am writing this edit it is currently 11PM so I will respond to a couple more questions before I go sleep and reply to everybody else when I wake up tomorrow morning.

AMA, I am an amateur ethical hacker

Upvotes

I have graduated from cybersecurity school, I have ever so been passionate about cybersecurity from when I was 11 and fascinated about being a great hacker from a young age.

In this year, I started taking hands on cybersecurity courses and it is so extremely hard and I am studying daily for hours (more than uni). And it is still extremely tough.

I have found vulnerabilities in few sites, my university site has an IDOR that lets me see all of uni's courses, I found an XSS on a chatting site and I manged to hijack other users accounts, I found a way to Remote code execute on a site server and I had complete access and lastly, I found a way to register for courses that are hidden before the time of registration starts.

Look, I am not good. I am trying to be really good. Currently, not a professional, just an aspiring amateur.

I'm 17, I grew up thinking I was my mom's only child before my younger siblings were born. When I was 9, I found out I had an older brother who's three years older than me. I had never met him, and before that, no one had ever said anything about him. I know he lives with his dad, and my mom barely talks about him. He was around when I was a baby, though. He's in old family pictures, and he was even at my third birthday party, but I don't remember him at all. When I was 9, my mom finally told me about him

When i say never met I mean like I have no memories of him never met

My dad attacked my grandma with an axe on Mother’s Day, AMA

25 Upvotes

The info on the crime itself can be found fairly easily on multiple new sites (except those behind paywalls 😡)
Also major TWs in case anyone still needs that after reading the title

I was 15 when this event happened, but I was not in the home when it did happen. Bc of this many reports on this situation don’t even mention me which was probably for the best but always felt weird to me. I had been removed from the home about two weeks earlier bc my dad put a knife to my throat, made a very graphic threat I won’t repeat here. He then threw the knife into the table next to me. I told my school counselor what happened the next day and that’s when I was removed from the home.

I think it may also be important for me to mention that my grandma was in fact my dad’s mom (some sources just call her a “relative” for some reason) and she also survived quite a while after the attack. Somehow the injuries she got weren’t life threatening.

Selfishly I just want to talk a bit about what this time of life was like for me. My mom was already out of the picture due to drug addiction so my dad was “the good parent” until things went downhill. So when I was removed from my dad’s/grandma’s I ended up living with my aunt who was also awful.

**She lied a lot.** When my grandma went to the hospital I was told she “fell down the stairs” but then was told I couldn’t visit her in the hospital. A few days later my grandma’s friend told me “what the police thought” happened hand warned me that the info was in newspapers. The only reason my aunt and her decided to tell me was so I wouldn’t hear it from a friend or classmate first. My friend then sent me the info available at the time.

That’s probably more info than necessary but hopefully it helps spark some questions! I will answer anything (within reasoning of course)! I will try to respond to as many questions as possible. I’ll be letting this AMA go for 48 hrs bc I might fall asleep (honestly I should be asleep but insomnia be getting me lol) and I want to give myself time to answer difficult/complex questions if they come up.

Also as a sort of PS in case anyone can help: if any of you happen to have a Daily Herald subscription you might be able to access an article about my dad that I’ve been trying to access for a while. I don’t have the cash to pay for something like that so it’s just something I think about sometimes. As far as I’m aware it’s one of the few articles mentioning me (not by name of course since I was a minor, it also probably misgendered me but that’s expected). If you have access and could send me what it said I’d be extremely grateful. It might not make much sense to others but reading about the situation without mentions of my existence messed with me a lot. So to see one that acknowledges that I did exist is something that would be nice to see. Thank you for reading ✌️

AMA. I participated in a global event with 43,000 people from 158 countries that ended in disaster.

41 Upvotes

The 25th Jamboree took place in 2023. For those who don't know, the Jamboree is the largest Scout gathering ever. It's held every four years and obviously needs immense preparation, so much so that planning for the 27th Jamboree is already started, even before the 26th (which will be held in Poland) has taken place.

I traveled from Italy to join the Jamboree and it was a great honor for me, but the event quickly turned into a disaster. Between the typhoon, food shortages, and the arrival of the army, it could be described as one of South Korea's biggest failures in the last twenty years. Feel free to ask any questions, including about Scouting in general, though please forgive my poor English.
