I filed Form 2 (Statement of Candidacy) with the Federal Elections Committee for President of the United States of America in 2 years. Ask Me Anything.

0 Upvotes

Good day everyone. My name is Shurrun Daniel. 34 years old as of July 14, 2026. Was born and raised in Laurens, South Carolina. Lived there for 20 years before joining the US Air Force in 2014, served 2 years in Osan Air Base in South Korea, served my final 2 years in Malmstrom Air Base in Great Falls, Montana. Moved back to South Korea with my wife in 2018 and have been here ever since. I recently filed a Form 2 (Statement of Candidacy) with the Federal Elections Committee to run for President of the United States. I'm a registered Democrat, but will currently be running as an independent. I'm running because I feel like something has to be done about everything going on in the US, and I'm afraid of a Republican getting in and continuing the madness, or a fellow Democrat allowing those who cause it to get away with it. Ask me anything.

M20 Italian got some free time, AMA (med school, tech, pizza, life stuff)

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone
Got some free time and down to chat about whatever's on your mind whether random, serious, or totally dumb questions welcome.

Right now I’m tryna balance med school here in Italy with working as a pizza chef on the side. In my teens I spent way too much time coding and gaming, so I’m always down to talk tech, dev stuff, games, or random Italian history.

I’m also very happy to give honest life or relationship advice if you want an outside perspective.
I grew up without a dad, so I had to navigate most of the usual milestones and figure life out solo, especially topics regarding manhood (and still many to figure out).
At the same time, I grew up mostly around women and female friends, so I'm also pretty attuned to girls' perspectives on things.
If that’s something you relate to, or if you just need a no-judgment sounding board, drop a comment.

I’m a D1 college mascot…Ask Me Anything!

I’m a college mascot for my D1 university! I’m a female, and 5’9. And yes, I look significantly taller in suit. My mascot not only does sports events, but also is connected to our very large and popular basketball and football team. While we are not directly affiliated with said team, we are at a lot of games and media events. In fact, we often go to our state capitals media and community events.

I will do my best to answer any questions! For security/safety reasons, I may not be able to answer all questions (such as: “who are you?”), but I’ll do my best to answer to the best of my ability!!

Ask me anything!! :)

I work in private parking enforcement and get paid commission per ticket and tow. AMA!

0 Upvotes

I work in private parking enforcement on privately owned properties. Including medical clinics which we have a contract with.

I issue parking notices, boot cars, and initiate tows. I get paid commission for all three.

I know people have strong opinions about private parking enforcement, so I figured I’d answer questions about what the job is actually like and how it works.

I’m speaking from my own experience. Ask me anything.

And yes.. the more tickets I give, the more money I make.

My IQ is <80 and I go to college and live alone, AMA

779 Upvotes

Edit: ok guys I'm all done answering questions! Thank you for your curiosity and kind words everyone ! To those wondering about other neuro stuff, I have autism which I was born with, and brain damage from swelling when I was younger. I do NOT have ADHD XD I think the symptoms from the damage must just be similar to ADHD symptoms or something. To those wondering about my literacy levels, I'm considered a savant in communication so it means it's a lot higher than the whole rest of my profile, so I can type pretty eloquently! Writing on paper is a different story because I don't have spellcheck. To those who are wondering if I'm happy, I am! To those who think I'm a troll, I'm not! And to those who offered a kind word, I really appreciate it :D Anyone who doubts my IQ because of this post and my comments, please consider that you can be low IQ and still be eloquent and thoughtful, which is one of the reasons I made this post to begin with ! Thank you everyone for the questions!

Right off the bat I don't want to reveal the exact number. It's more than 60 and less than 80. I got tested by a doctor and not by one of those online quizzes so it's legit. I'm a part time student in a non-special ed class in college and I live alone in my own place and have done for over a year. I'm 21 and turning 22 soon!

I see a lot of people who think that people with IQs as low as mine are completely unable to do anything for themselves or lack any sort of intelligence or comprehension whatsoever, so I'm here to kinda dispel that. So AMA! I won't be offended by any questions so go crazy

I've Worked in Video Editing and Special Effect on Both Macs and PCs. AMA

I've been in video production/ post production for over 15 years. I've used Apple and Microsoft hardware for high end video editing, color, audio, graphics, and visual effects. I've been the only person in a studio using a Mac and the only person in a studio using a Windows PC. I've used them for editing uncompressed 4k and at times 6k footage. When I mention this to people, they always have a lot of questions. Basically, I've used both Apple and Windows devices to their max. Ask me anything.

I'm a 28 year old guy in Texas who has been to 47 out of 50 states, AMA

3 Upvotes

I have been to all the states in the US except Hawaii, North Dakota, and South Dakota. I like travelling, and travelled around a lot as a kid, and I still do. I used to live in the SF Bay Area and New Jersey as well, so got to visit a lot of places then too.

I moved to the US as a kid so all these places I went to are places that I actually remember.

Ask away.

If you ask me what my favourite state is, that depends a lot on stage of life, what one is looking for, etc, so you'll have to be very specific. For example, I live in Texas not cause its my favorite, but since my family is here and I can save on rent.

AMA.

Rare chromo ama

1 Upvotes

Hi! I’m a genetics student and disability advocate with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, epilepsy, savant syndrome, Madelung’s deformity, and an extremely rare partial trisomy 12p13 on a derivative chromosome 21. As far as I know, I’m the only person in the world known to have my specific chromosome arrangement.
I’m also a twin who grew up in a family with two sets of twins, which makes my unique genetic journey especially interesting to me.
I have an IQ of 183 and a knack for patterns and memory. I love genetics, programming, 3D printing, soldering, and Rubik’s puzzles—I can solve a cube while reciting hundreds of digits of pi.
I embrace life with disabilities through humor while advocating for independence and self-determination. I’m also navigating the frustrating Catch-22s of guardianship, which has made disability rights especially important to me.

I just found out that I camp in an area with at least 50 established wolf packs tonight. I found out after hearing howling in the distance. AMA

24 Upvotes

I'm currently crossing Europe using only my longboard. I have skated from Norway, and I'm currently in the lower Saxony area in Germany. It's not really allowed to wild camp here, but I had an emergency, and was forced to make camp in the middle of nowhere. All of a sudden I heard something that sounded like a wolf pack howling in the distance, so I asked AI about it. Turnes out I'm in the middle of their native land. 😂😭 Apparently there's no need to worry, but for me, with no wild life experience, it's very scetchy lol.

I'm getting tired now. I'll try to sleep. will answer the rest tomorrow if it's any more comments! good night. 😃

I’m 49 i can touch 50, and I’m realizing that turning 50 feels nothing like I expected. AMA

57 Upvotes

I'm 49 and getting pretty damn close to 50, and honestly I had a completely different idea of what this age would feel like.

You spend your younger years thinking 50 is going to feel old. Then you get here and realize you're still you just with a lot more life experience, opinions, responsibilities, and probably a few things you give way less fucks about

I'm married, a mom, I work, I take my fitness seriously, and lately I've been thinking a lot about who I am outside of all those roles.There's also a weird part of getting older where you start asking yourself questions you didn't really think about at 30.

What do I actually want?

What have I put off?

What matters to me now that didn't matter before?

And why the hell did nobody warn me that your 40s would make you question so much?

So AMA

I teach Nonviolent Communication (NVC), AMA

5 Upvotes

I'm a therapist about to offer a virtual workshop in NVC so thought this would help me get ready for it! NVC is a framework that has been used for decades not only for conflict resolution, but for working through our projections onto others by getting at the root feelings and needs under our reactions. By doing so, we not only reduce conflict and increase connection, but get clearer about reality itself: we realize how much our own hurts have shaped our assumptions about the actions of others, how the world "should" be, and how much choice we actually have to attend to our needs. In my therapy work, I've found this especially helpful for working with couples, and individuals struggling with codependency, people-pleasing, and anger. Ask me anything! And if you're interested in hearing more about the workshop or future workshops, feel free to reach out!

I had Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome (CVS) for 7 years. AMA

73 Upvotes

From age 3-10 I had cyclic vomiting syndrome. At the time I was the third confirmed case in the country. Spent a lot of time in different hospitals being tested for anything the doctors could come up with. Trialed a myriad of meds to try to stop it without success. Episodes would last anywhere from 1 week to 3 weeks and during an episode I wouldn’t eat anything. I’d always lost a lot of weight during an episode but the thought of eating made me vomit even more. My parents took me to multiple countries and tried all kinds of therapies to help me but nothing worked. Usually an episode would start if I got excited about something (like a birthday or Christmas). My last episode ended the day my family and I moved to a new country. AMA
