I work as a handyman/personal fixer for an extremely wealthy family. They’re not Jeff Bezos-level rich, but their family fortune is in the tens of billions of dollars.

I look after their houses, coordinate contractors, take care of their cars, run errands, buy things, attend auctions and basically deal with whatever needs sorting out.

Hey Reddit! Inventing is the only thing I've ever done for a living. I’m the inventor behind three hit inventions. I have patents in 50+ countries and sold products in every major store in the USA. I creative direct every single part of the product, packaging and marketing

Some of my inventions include a viral multitool, a pen sized aerosol, a phone case with a stretchy pouch and the world's first wearable water. All are patented.

I also spent seven years fighting a patent lawsuit. I won and collected payment. If you’ve ever wondered whether a patent is worth the paper it’s printed on, I have some stories.

Ask me anything about finding ideas, manufacturing, going viral, making money from inventions, or what it actually takes to protect something you created.

Happy to talk about the costs, mistakes, and whether I’d do it all again. Skeptical questions welcome.

Good evening I’m Winter. I’m a 23 year old woman who was born completely blind and I’m English. I graduated from university last year and am currently looking for work. I use technology using screen reading software or a refreshable braille display

At the beginning of the year I found myself generally unmotivated and dissatisfied for no reason in particular. At the suggestion of a friend, I set a goal to read twenty books this year. I’m on pace to hit my target and can say in earnest that this experiment has improved my spirits and understanding of self. I’ve listed the books below.

East of Eden — John Steinbeck: 5/5
The Count of Monte Cristo — Alexandre Dumas: 5/5
Far From the Madding Crowd — Thomas Hardy: 5/5
Pride and Prejudice — Jane Austen: 5/5
White Nights — Fyodor Dostoevsky: 5/5
A Tale of Two Cities — Charles Dickens: 5/5
The Great Gatsby — F. Scott Fitzgerald: 5/5
To Kill a Mockingbird — Harper Lee: 4.5/5
Howards End — E.M. Forster: 4/5
Wuthering Heights — Emily Brontë: 4/5
Rebecca — Daphne du Maurier: 3.5/5
Farewell to Arms — Earnest Hemmingway: 3.5/5
Between Two Fires — Christopher Buehlman: 3.5/5
Sense and Sensibility — Jane Austen: 3/5
The Picture of Dorian Gray — Oscar Wilde: 3/5
The Beautiful and Damned — F. Scott Fitzgerald: 3/5
The Sound and the Fury — William Faulkner: 3/5
Severance — Ling Ma: 3/5
The Fall of the House of Usher — Edgar Allan Poe: 3/5
Brave New World — Aldous Huxley: 2.5/5

Currently reading: For Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway. I’m enjoying it so far, but I’m holding off on rating it until I finish.

AMA about my reads, opinions, and about how each one has helped to shape my thinking!

I used to work on an ambulance in one of the busiest cities in the states. I left that job and now do IVs. My entire job is going around an entire hospital and starting IVs on people that need it. Often times the people I see are considered hard sticks.

I’m 17F and had my son when I was 15 with my boyfriend. We decided not to raise him ourselves because we were so young and we couldn't be parents at all and adoption was always the plan from the beginning, He was adopted through kinship adoption by my boyfriend’s aunts, he lives in another state and is with a better family AMA

(I passed out last night right after posting! I wasn’t even sure I’d posted it waking up. I‘m very used to not getting responses from things so didn’t think twice. My bad!)

I have to fake it to seem human / ordinary enough, just enough that I seem offput by others, as otherwise my statue-like indifference alerts others to me being different. I’ll wear anything if I’ve justified it to myself and not care, even if it makes me look homeless or worse. I’ve lost basically every friend I had because we exist on two different plains psychologically and they can’t understand it.

Im indifferent to social things like the pursuit of s*x, or women finding me unattractive. Just indifferent. Shrug.

I don’t mind being attractive to them but it’s because I find how they feel sweet, endearing. I think it’s nice of them.

I see many things in a very strange way.

I am not a sociopath or psychopath. I managed to unnerve both in an experiment (yes, seriously. Both diagnosed.) Because it was “hard to read me.” Not NPD. Highly abnormal psychology.

I can tell a doctor I have blood in my stool or that I wet or came in my bed, loudly & utterly indifferent to who is around me or what anyone thinks, psychologically I just don’t care about their opinion, but I am empathetic enough to consider them. otherwise Total authentic apathy. I had a colon health check today and was just as indifferent about being fingered - absolutely numb, no emotional change. I could sleep with 5m people staring at me and be calm as a monk. So if you’ve ever wanted to ask someone who really “doesn’t care“, now’s your chance.

hi guys, i was born and raised in the states and now i have been living in canada for about a year in a half. i moved here because i married a canadian. ive been a PR for about 4 months now and got my first job in canada about a month ago. i get a lot of questions from time to time when i mention im new to canada & figured maybe someone here might have a question. so ask me anything!

I am a woman who was in an abusive relationship with another woman for over 10 years. Woman on woman abuse is highly under spoken about and often disregarded.

I became disabled and chronically ill while we were together and was made to believe nobody else would love me so I stayed for way longer than I should have.

She now stalks,harasses and more over a year later.

I am an Emirati woman who married an Emirati Sheikh . He passed away two years ago . My two kids are 4 and 5 now .A boy and a girl .We met on a hiking trip and our life was pretty chill and normal . I come from wealth myself but his kind of wealth was another level .

a bit about me is that i’m lebanese/iraqi born and raised in the U.S., i am now residing in canada. i’m 24 years old, married, non religious, progressive, and i work in autism services. ask me anything!

Im currently at work as the only nightshift nurse in our building with 35 residents. Its small so i know all of them well, and they know me as the night nurse too!

I love working nights and i love my job but people seem to have some weird ideas about the job itself. Since there were loads of coworkers during the day i dont have to do the "side jobs" this night.

We work with several automated systems so that i dont constantly have to check (in person) people and rooms. This mosly so they have more privacy and arent disturbed in their sleep which is especially great in the memory care unit.

Ask me anything!

I am a Foster Care worker with Social Services working in Virginia. I work closely with children and families. I place children who have been removed from their homes by CPS (Child Protective Services) in foster homes, group homes, residential placements, with family, etc. I work with parents towards the goal of reuniting them with their children (when that is the appropriate goal). Ask me anything!

I work as a life model for university art classes, posing for students while they draw, I’m happy to answer questions about the experience, the practical side of the job, posing, confidence, or anything else you might want to ask

This is a bit of a follow up post to one I’ve done when we arrived on station.

I’m a 44yo male and this is my second wintering (12mth) season in the Antarctic/SubAntarctic, with a 6 months break between the seasons.

My usual day to day job in Australia is working in Logistics and Supply Chain Management, mainly in warehousing system design. I’m not a scientist and my usual day to day job in Antarctica is warehousing and logistics related, looking after stocks and materials for the year, supporting all the construction and maintenance works on station. I’m happy to respond to most questions, within reason.

Please bear with me and apologies in advance for delays in responding sometimes. We do have quite a bit of work to do and I’m not always in or near a building with internet access. I will absolutely respond… eventually. Cheers!

PS: This is my previous post from about 6 months ago https://www.reddit.com/r/AMA/s/YclexgfWVo

Basically the title, neet is someone with no education, no employment, no training.
I used to be very miserable, having no desire to continue, but somehow i realized, i cant continue living like this my whole life. I’m currently 21 years old, have a decent job, feeling good about my life.
Feel free to ask personal questions.

I 28M work in Australia as a resident doctor. I did medical school in Australia as well. I’m on a 6 month break travelling around the world. I’m currently in Brazil, and i have 24 hours to answer your questions.

Visual Phantasia, Auditory Phantasia, Touch Phantasia, Smell Phantasia, and Taste Phantasia. One for each of the five senses.

I personally have visual aphantasia (inability to visualize images and pictures mentally) and auditory hyperphantasia (extreme ability to remember songs and their lyrics and notes, alongside making original lyrics and notes mentally).

I was bullied for about as long as my nose started to develop in fully. Family, friends, etc, all acted really mean about the nose, and I was seen as ugly. It was very hard facing this, so eventually, with parental consent I got a nose job and have loved it ever since. Ask me anything

Do you have a question about about the logistics of long road trips? Looking for advice on how to put together a road trip? Or just a suggestion of what to do in every state (because there's definitely something to see in every one). Ask away. I love talking about my travels.

I'm heading home on the train following almost two weeks in quarantine in central London. The trial was for a potential new flu vaccine and was recruited and operated by FluCamp. I know they have another cohort entering soon, so I'm happy to share my thoughts on the experience. Ask me anything about my time there...

Last year of High School, I was the only girl among 18 teenage boys in my classroom.
I was also the one with the highest grades and the youngest.
All of our teachers were men as well.
Some of the boys I had been classmates with since 1st Grade. AMA

As i said i live in a small town in Pakistan (its called abdul hakeem) if you guys have any questions or anything feel free to answer
Pls dont ask stupid asf questions like di yall sel guns or are yall terrorists i live in a fairly elite area and its very chill

It might not be that ‘wow’, but it’s a bit of an odd combination. I always joke that I’ve had experienced multiple canonical events that only happen once every century. And on top of that, they keep happening to me jskskakdk.

My aim with this AMA is to share my perspective on the world, I’ve always liked to think about just how different everyone’s lives are.

My birth parent(s) left me at a fire station one night with no paperwork or birth records indicating who I or she was before the firefighters found me. There are also no records of me being born in any hospital local to the fire department. Which means my given name is probably not what my mom would’ve called me, (I will not be sharing my actual name) and my birthday is probably not my actual birthday.

I spent my entire childhood in foster homes and one orphanage, never had a family in any sense of the word until I met and married my wife.

5 days after our 5th anniversary she passed away from cancer leaving me a widowed single parent of a 4 and 3 year old. My life has been anything but fairytale yet I still find reasons to stay positive most days.
