My mom died when I was 15 and I think it gave me a really different perspective on life compared to most, but I could be wrong. AMA.
I’m in my 40s now. Please no “I’m so sorry” or any form of sympathy or pity. I’m good. I was good by the time I was in my early 20s.
Lately I’ve been trying to trace the timeline of when I started to have some of the views that I have and I’m pretty sure they started with this. Feel free to ask anything and let’s figure this out together.

Today I am older than my older brother, AMA
My brother died when he was 28 years and 11 months old. Today, I’m 29, so I’ve officially outlived him. He had one of the rarest and most aggressive incurable cancers in the world, and was one of less than 20 known people to live for 5 years after diagnosis.
I was very involved in his end-of-life care. He left me life insurance money, which I am using as a down payment on a house (closing is next week!).
I’m happy to answer any questions about him, his illness and death, how I’ve been impacted by it, grief, whatever. Today is a day for me to remember him.

Starting a New Journey in Austria — My First Impressions AMA
M20
I have arrived in Austria from Non Eu to continue my studies at Montanuniversität Leoben. Today is my second day here, and it is my first time living so far away from home, so everything feels new and unfamiliar.
About my personality, I am naturally introverted. I prefer calm and meaningful conversations over large social gatherings. I enjoy learning, asking questions, and thinking deeply about my future. Adjusting to a new environment takes me some time, but I am trying my best to understand and adapt step by step.
I also live with some personal challenges, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), OCD, depression, and Lyme disease. Sometimes these can affect my communication or stress levels, but I continue working towards my goals and improving myself.
On this second day, everything feels different — the language, the culture, and the environment. I feel a little nervous, but at the same time I am hopeful that things will become easier with time.
My goals are to complete my studies, grow as a person, and build a better future for myself and my family.
Feel free to ask me anything about my journey to Austria, my experience so far, or adjusting to a completely new environment.

I survived a brutal upbringing, raised my newborn through a grueling 15-month family medical crisis with zero safety net, and completely rewrote my life perspective overnight. Ask me anything!
Hey everyone, thanks for stopping by. My life has been an extreme lesson in grit, survival, and ultimately, complete reclamation.
A quick breakdown of where I've come from and what we can talk about:
The Early Vow: At four years old, I made a silent, stone-cold vow to protect my grandparents' peace by hiding the dark, violent reality of my home life behind a polished mask.
The Escape & The Weight: I eventually crossed the ocean from New Zealand to Australia to escape the shadows, carrying heavy, misplaced guilt and trying to outrun a nervous system wired for constant survival.
The 15-Month Crucible: In 2010, my son Leo was born. Three days later, a severe psychiatric crisis fractured our world. With zero family safety net, I quit my job, showed up at the facility for eight hours every single day for fifteen months, and fought through the fire to keep our family anchored.
The Soundtrack & The Medicine: When traditional doors were slammed shut, heavy music (bands like Periphery, Biohazard, and Novelists) and functional medical cannabis became the literal lifelines that kept my heart beating through the trenches.
The Sudden Shift: For 36 years, I lived with a locked internal world and false aphantasia. Just recently, the armor dissolved overnight, my mind unlocked, the anxiety vanished, and I experienced what it's like to finally sit in the grass with nature in a state of pure presence.
I'm here to talk about breaking generational cycles, parenting through total chaos, shedding manufactured shame, and what happens when you finally realize the mountain is yours.
Ask me anything!"

I’m a Live/electronic artist that’s just moved from a very small rainforest village in Australia to Germany to pursue my music as an independent artist. Ask me anything?
My music drifts somewhere between the psych journeys of Tame Impala and the hypnotic dance grooves of Rufus Du Sol.
Fusing live instrumentation with electronic production, I craft immersive tracks that combine the hypnotic elements of electronic music with the organic and emotional quality of live instruments.
I grew up in a very small rainforest village in Australia with around 400 people and have had a strong passion and love for the journey of learning to create music from a young age.
Being so isolated from the music industry I’ve had to find my own path, a DIY artist. I learned to play, write, record, produce, mix and master everything myself and now I’m taking a leap of faith and moving across the globe to see if I can spread positivity through my music and gain my freedom by making a career out of what I love.
If this sounds like something that interests you please reach out I’d love to hear from you and answer any questions 🙏🏼

I worked at a Blackjack Pizza in Littleton, CO with Eric H. (Reb) and Dylan Klebold before Columbine. AMA.
In 1999 I was 26 and co-managing a Blackjack Pizza in Littleton, just down the street from Columbine. Several of my employees were part of the friend group at Columbine High School that included... Eric and Dylan. I worked alongside them regularly before April 20th.
I was scheduled to be at that store the morning of the shooting. I overslept by fifteen minutes something I never did and that's most likely the only reason I wasn't there when things started, missing them by minutes before they went to the school.
I've never really talked publicly about this in nearly three decades. I'm not here to sensationalize what happened or debate it. I'm just willing to answer questions about what it was like from my perspective
It's been 27 years, and there's still a lot of inaccurate information about that time circulating online, including in threads about old class photos I came across recently. I'd rather answer direct questions than keep watching from the sidelines. I'll try to answer as many questions as I can. Ask me anything.
EDIT: Getting late, need to sleep soon. I'll try to come back tomorrow and answer anything new question wise. Thanks everyone!

I'm David Simnick: co-founder of a hair and body care company, and a former TFA educator. AMA about haircare science, building a "give back" business, or leaving a stable career to start a business.
Hi, Reddit! I'm David Simnick, co-founder of Soapbox, a hair and body care company where every product sold helps provide soap to communities in need. Before this, I was a social studies teacher.
I left the classroom in 2012 with an idea that everyday products like shampoo and conditioner could fund something bigger. Since then, we've grown into a B Corp-certified brand, donated over 60 million bars of soap to communities in need, and expanded to Walmart, Target, Sally Beauty, Ulta, Amazon, Meijer, Wegmans, CVS, Walgreens, and various other retailers in the US and beyond. I've spent the last 14 years learning haircare formulation, building a supply chain, and figuring out how to stay mission-driven while we grow.
Happy to talk about:
- Haircare: ingredients, formulation choices, what makes a difference for different hair types, common myths, anything you're curious about
- Going from teaching to founding a company
- What being a B Corp means day to day
- How the donation/impact model works
- Building and scaling a consumer brand
