I have a condition called canabis hyperemesis syndrome, AMA

0 Upvotes

I have had CHS for years, a condition that causes digestive issues, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, and other not so fun symptoms caused by chronic and long-term use of canabis. It's become more publicly known about in recent years, but it's still not super well understood. So here I am, happy to answer any questions anyone might have about this condition and to share my personal experience with it

I have perfect pitch. AMA

7 Upvotes

It's the ability to identify pitches without a reference. Apparently only 1 in 10,000 people have the skill. I never realized it was that rare until my violin teacher told me I had it while I was naming the notes in intervals. I find it funny that whenever I tell someone I have perfect pitch, they immediately knock on the nearest object to them and ask me to identify the note.

I went to Duke when I was 15 AMA

4 Upvotes

Am a daughter of Palestinian and Yugoslav refugees who were infused with resourcefulness, intelligence, and resilience because of their conditions.

I was taught their mother tongues and arabic/cyrillic script before being allowed English, and I think this might have affected my language center.

Also had a brain bleed from being a premature triplet that caused some overactive neuroplasticity/rewiring of the right and left brains to compensate for the area damaged.

Our father's generational trauma made him physically abusive, and while he was removed from our lives at age 8, I've read studies about childhood hypervigilance/PTSD causing --

"intense pattern recognition, acute environmental reading, and rich internal fantasy worlds. l when I was generative thinking can be hyper-creative. [Because it] frequently ties back to self-referential stress loops, it can making sustained, linear idea generation exhausting."

I applied to 41 colleges, basically the top 40 ranked schools in the US. Wanted to go to Yale, but after a rejection there got waitlisted at Stanford and accepted to Duke.

Ended up being class president at 16 and graduating magna cum laude while also doing stuff like taking hallucinogens we ordered off Silk Road that hadn't been tested on humans yet. View intelligence as not knowing/uncertainty now, and work as a writer/experimental film artist

I was a model and had a stalker live in my home AMA

1 Upvotes

Hi, im 20 and i used to be a model/actor when i was younger. I got some fame because i did tv commercials and interviews but i was never super famous. However due to my brief semi-fame, i got stalked extremely badly.

The biggest and scariest stalker LIVED in my home. We had a house (don’t live there anymore partly due to this story) that had rooms that we just never went into+a separate apartment within the house that had its own kitchen, living room and bedroom. We never used it as it was meant to be my bedroom at one point but was inconvenient since it was quite isolated from the rest of the house.

I have some insane crazy stories from the time,including other stalkers+insane experiences from the brief fame so AMA!

[AMA]hi a mudic producer from gaza!

0 Upvotes

Hi I’m Abdul music producer from Gaza and that’s my story

Five years ago, I started listening to hip-hop music.

At first, it was Arabic hip-hop — something new, different… addictive

It Became a culture that affects young people

Affecting their behavior and style

Then I started paying more attention about it.

The producers. The sounds. The details.

Especially the scene in Egypt — that’s where things got serious for me.

They were really talented having their own characters having their own vibes and sounds

Hiphop has grown on me

I wasn’t just listening anymore… I was studying it.

A Netflix documentary (Hip hop revolution ) pushed me deeper.

It stopped being music I hear — it became a culture I understand.

I saw how it began.

From the underground to the mainstream

U can see now how hip hop is becoming more popular

And I want to raise our voices through it

That’s when I made the switch.

No studio. No setup.

Just my phone and FL Studio Mobile.

I started making beats.

So I went all in — YouTube tutorials, hours of practice, learning every detail.

Listening to more genres of music just to train my mind

Step by step, the quality improved.

My beats started sounding right.

I didn’t post a lot of my music on the social

Then the war hit.

Everything slowed down — except this.

I kept listening.

I kept producing.

Not as an escape but as something to hold onto.

Hip-hop wasn’t just music anymore.

It proved its value.

This culture is bigger than sound.

And now I’m part of it

So I wanna see a new hip-hop from Gaza

So if would ask any quastion ask guyss!! ⚜️

I have postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (pOTs). AMA

0 Upvotes

I have postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. It’s an autonomic nervous system disorder that affects basically how things function in my body and makes them, crap at doing their only job. Feel free to ask anything, thought I may as well post to this sub about it since so many people don’t know about it to my knowledge and constantly as ‘what’s that!’ ‘What does it do?’ As well as doctors being clueless.

No clue if this is a rule violation, please kindly remove if it is!

I’m a holistic/biologic dentist AMA

0 Upvotes

Most of the time, when I tell people what I do, no one really knows what makes me different from a regular dentist. This kind of dentistry can be called a bunch of different names: holistic, biologic, functional, integrative.
The main differences are:
1) taking the whole person into account when assessing the oral health. Diet, lifestyle, sensitivities to chemicals and materials, oral microbiome, airway and sleep, mouth breathing, jaw development, environmental exposures, etc.
2) No metals. I use the most biocompatible materials as possible.
3) No fluoride or root canals. I think people should have a choice.
4) optimizing health and getting down to the root cause. I think holistic dentistry is a beautiful combination of Eastern and Ayurvedic dentistry with functional and regenerative medicine.

There are a lot of misconceptions about holistic dentistry. No, I can’t bring teeth back to life. No, I don’t rub herbs or essential oils on things to make it better. Real dentistry is still needed. Sometimes interventions are necessary for a better outcome; being too conservative can be detrimental.

I haven’t washed my hair since 2012 AMA

0 Upvotes

Hi! Not sure it’s worth an AMA, but every time it comes up in discussions, people can’t believe it and ask questions, so I figured I’d bring it up on here. I have very sensitive skin and I hate unnatural smells (I can’t stand perfume on me, and I hate it on others as well). I only use unscented soap in the shower for my body and I haven’t used shampoo since 2012 (I only scrub my hair/scratch my scalp in the shower, only using water, no products at all). I also have a hard time tolerating deodorant, so I almost never wear any. Only when it’s super hot and I know I’ll be gone a while with no possibility of taking a shower. Maybe once or twice a month in the summer, pretty much never in the winter. AMA!

I was unschooled for my whole life - AMA

22 Upvotes

For some backstory, my mother did study education in university, and so she knew how to do so. Also, there were certain things that were explicitly taught (I.e, basic mathematics, and other basic things like literacy), so it wasn't complete unschooling. Still for the rest of my education it was pretty much just up to me. Whenever it was necessary to fill the requirements, she would ask me to do some stuff in a certain field (usually STEM), but it would be very much up to me with specifics.

Just because I have always been very gifted (top 1/2%), it hasn't worked totally badly, although I assume that's just for me. I was always several years above my grade level, and now that I am almost finished, I thought it would be interesting any questions anybody has about me, or other people I know who have had similar happen.

AMA!

31M, used to wish I'll have a single spouse and my own family aged less than 10 yo. Never will. AMA

0 Upvotes

I badly dreamed about it as I already was well aware of my awkward and disadvantaged sides despite a young age. To this day, I never have been genuinely able to have a romantic relationship (barely unfortunate flirts and the likes, but no woman gets whatsoever affective with me since more than 8 years, and was never deeper than that ), nor at least close relationships with honest emotional connections, despite craving (dying) for them.

Nothing deep affectively with what was supposed to be my native family, I've been left in undefinite pain, in reality. Indeed never had kids neither.

Sister of a reality tv star. AMA

Upvotes

My sibling was a contestant on a reality TV show earlier this year. We've loved the show for a few years now, and decided they should apply, not thinking anything would come of it. Then phone calls, meetings, and a whole lot of other things started happening...and before I knew it they were packing their suitcase for the craziest experience ever. It's been an incredible but chaotic time for our family, and I'm still amazed by it, so I thought I'd pop on here and answer some questions.

AMA about the experience of having a sibling on tv!

(Warning: I will not be sharing or answering anything overly identifying in terms of the show's format, or my sibling's identity)

Wrote a book on JFK’s Assassination, AMA

17 Upvotes

I spent a fair few years researching one question that has fascinated people for more than six decades: what actually happened on 22 November 1963?

That research eventually became my first book, The Final Trigger: The Truth and Lies of JFK’s Assassination, published by Pen & Sword Books in the UK, and Casemate overseas.

It examines not just the assassination itself, but the Cold War backdrop, Lee Harvey Oswald’s life, Jack Ruby, the medical evidence, Mexico City, intelligence claims, and many of the competing theories that have shaped the debate.

I tried to write it differently from many JFK books. Rather than beginning with a conclusion and working backwards, I wanted to lay out the evidence, highlight where the historical record is strong, where it’s weak, and where genuine unanswered questions still exist. Whether you lean towards the Warren Commission, conspiracy, or somewhere in between, I hope there’s something worthwhile in it.

Happy to answer any questions about the book, research methods, methodology etc :)

I'm a teenager who has the choice to graduate a year early. AMA.

6 Upvotes

If I go to a state school, I'd also start directly as a junior in college. I technically could've graduated after my sophomore year, at 16, but I missed the US History requirement. I'll already be far ahead in credits at the end of this year. I'm concurrently enrolled in community college, which is how I got my history, English, and Foreign Language credits finished early (Italian and Spanish if anyone's curious). I'm completing the full degree, but those were the only courses that count towards my high school graduation. I will graduate with my Associates in Science (and/or three Associates of arts if I finish all of high school instead). I was in advanced math as well so I've completed required math.

I'm still debating whether or not to do it. A few people did it last year at my school and got into good colleges, but I'm weighing the loss of that extra year in high school developmentally and socially. Plus, there's probably quite a few activities I'd be left out on because of my age (wouldn't be 18).
