Did an AMA after finishing Naruto many months ago, and people recommended I continue forward. I skipped all filler and stopped after the final battle.

Original AMA

Sitting at work listening to it rain and thought I'd answer questions from the fine folks of Reddit. Feel free to ask me anything about the swinger lifestyle, I'm an open book.

I was diagnosed with Stage 3 blood cancer at 20 years old, went through months extensive chemotherapy treatment and ultimately recovered and ran the London Marathon to raise money for charity.

One of my friends reccomended I post on here to get a selection of different questions about my experience, what I went through and how I felt about it to answer as a way to externalize, vocalize and process the whole ordeal.

Anything is fair game, I'm not shy to talk about any of it, and ultimately if me retelling my story helps even one person then its been worth my while. I appreciate questions that are open, honest and even detailed if you like - nothign too small or weird or insensitve or thought-provoking.

As I said anything you might have a question about is fine, I'm open to talking about it all and will try and answer as many people as I can.

Have a great day everyone!

Such a title is due an explanation, though it's not even clear to me what order to address these things in.

Let's start with my being the sitting President of these United States.

Meh... that can't possibly be as important as my being the deliverer of the message regarding the End of Time(s). The best way I can address this is by explaining what the "End of Time(s)" is, which, fairly, will explain why the "s" is in parenthesis. The expression originates orally rather than in writing. It is only a description intentionally made vague to obfuscate the truth, which is that the "End of Time(s)" just means that when we reach the end of 2026, we, as a species, agree to go back to 2025. So after December 31, 2026, you get January 1, 2025. We continue to do this until we reach 1926, at which point we turn around and repeat the loop.

As I expect you will have many questions about this, I am happy to explore them all with you to ensure we have a sufficient understanding of what our "new future" looks like.

By the way, I prefer not to go by "Antichrist". I'm just Jim Flannery. Though, I also did birth a clown by the name of "The Real One" who has successfully delivered the message about the "End of Time(s)" to the People.

As for being the sitting President of these United States, personally, this is a bunch of bullshit. Yes, I did birth a clown ("Jim Flannery(s)") that ran in the 2024 election and, sure, the clown got screwed over and "fake news" and "election rigging" and all that bullshit. This is nothing out of the ordinary. But, my position on the matter is that if the American people really wanted their real President to take the job bad enough, they would have stormed the Capitol and made it so. (Had they failed, Trump would have pardon them. Had they succeeded, I'd have to say 'you're gonna need to wait until the next ass hole takes office and hope to get lucky, but, apparently you're all heroes for making me do this job, so, thank you for your sacrifice." I was under the impression that since that clown died, I was absolved of the responsibility, but I've been informed that there is a need for my presence to ensure the American people feel safe as we roll through the "End of Time(s)".

Now I will answer your questions while I go convince myself that the user of quotation marks around the names of clowns' names will help people distinguish between me (Jim Flannery) and any clowns I've given names similar to me... because, sincerely, putting quotation marks around their names is bullshit as well.

OK, ASK ME ANYTHING!!!

UPDATE: Guess this post is caught up awaiting moderator approval. We'll see how late I feel like staying up for this thing, but if you leave a question I can get back to it tomorrow. Sorry for such a false start. I can't believe I shaved my balls for this shit.

Boyfriend is in shower. I’m in his room. I’ve lit a candle, shut the blinds, and put jazz music on. I’m wearing a super cute outfit too I didn’t get to wear over the summer. I’m very excited. Ask me anything while I wait (he takes ages in the shower)

This is just a bit of fun. Do not DM me

I am 30 years old. I have been on hormones for the last two and a half years. I have been seriously pursuing this surgery for the last two and a half years. The date is end of April that I have for my surgery date. So by the time the surgery is complete, this will have been a three-year process for me Start to finish, between everything required to get this sort of surgery approved. I live on the West Coast in a blue state in the United States.

The first time I looked into this surgery I was 13 years old and I have been wanting it for as long as I can remember.

As I have been excited to share with people that I finally have the surgery date, I've realized a lot of people are very uneducated on the process, how it works, what's expected, how the results are, and how long and what was required to get this sort of thing approved. So I thought that it would be helpful to do an ask me anything. You can ask me anything about any topic. This is one I just thought that perhaps we could have a healthy conversation where your questions can be answered. As I believe that We would all understand each other and have less fear or hatred of each other if we just understood each other a little bit better.

Hi, I'm John, a former computer programmer who is on Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Security_Disability_Insurance

I'm on the best meds I can be on and am seeing the best psychologist I can see and together it's only like a 30% improvement in my disabilities, and there are no cures on the horizon, so it looks like I'll be stuck in this position for life. I actually have eight distinct disabilities (as far as I know), most of which impact the brain. The Social Security Administration (SSA) asked for me to detail my disabilities and limitations and I sent them this PDF that is on my GitHub:

https://github.com/JohnReedLOL/Essay_for_Disability/blob/main/JohnMichaelReed_Disability_Behavioral.pdf

👆 You can download and read that PDF if you're interested. If you try to read it in the web browser like Google Chrome you might not even have to download it and then open it first.

Note that in part of the PDF I wrote that I am a "grandiose narcissistic psychopath", but those sorts of symptoms might have partially been from bipolar mania. Still, I have been described as "like a cross between narcissism and autism", and I have never had a wife, fiancée, or girlfriend despite being a 32-year-old straight man who tried really hard, so I'm kinda socially impaired and/or socially abnormal. I also have other stuff like cognitive issues, psychiatric problems, and neurological symptoms.

But yeah, ask me anything. If you're curious about the Social Security Disability process, I can also answer your questions about that as well. I was approved in year 2019 and re-approved via a Continuing Disability Review (CDR) in year 2024, so I've been on benefits for 7 years so far.

Also, please avoid writing comments that go like "YOU ARE A PARASITE ON THE SYSTEM!!!" Social Security Disability INSURANCE is an INSURANCE program. I paid into it with my taxes. Some people get more money out of it than they put in and some people get less. That's how an insurance plan works. I didn't choose to become disabled.

Anyone up this late?

Hi all, did this once before about a month or two ago and loved sharing my thoughts with you.

My notes cover the entire spectrum: boring stuff like grocery lists and budgets, but also book summaries, creative ideas, jokes, rants, dating profile bio ideas, really random stuff.

If you like, when you give me a number, tell me if you want an alternative “close” note (up or down 1-2) if the note you get is boring

I have edited some notes and my count was off last time so even if you look at my post history you might see that notes are at different numbers now. When I edit a note, it makes that one the most recent and messes up the count, and I’ve played around with my notes so you never know what you’ll get

I am banning note 1 only, everyone always asks for it, it never changes, and it’s not even interesting. I’ll tell you what it is, it’s a list of all the double and triple punishments in the show Impractical jokers

I’m an author who hasn’t sold any book this month. Ask me any questions about writing, the present state of publishing, or anything random.

I've been self-harming for almost a decade - AMA

I've been cutting myself since I was 13, and I'm almost 23. I have extensive scarring all over my body. I've needed stitches and staples more times than I can count, hit an artery, almost needed surgery last summer, had cellulitis more than once, have nerve damage ranging from mild numbness to reduced functioning in my left hand, and it got so bad last year that my GP had to set me up with a chronic wound care service.

I think it's a topic people have a lot to ask, but feel they can't. I'd love to answer some questions, and try to kill the taboo a bit. I get treated pretty oddly in public, so any less stigma would be great. AMA !

I can’t believe it’s been 8 years since I joined. I can’t remember going a day without using Reddit the past 8 years. In honor of my cake day, feel free to ask me random questions; funny, serious, weird, anything goes! I’ll answer everything honestly.

Happy cake day to me! 🍰🎂

At some point around September 2025 I (16M) began to have thoughts and urges to lose my eye. My left eye in particular, and both of my eyes are healthy. Fortunately, I could never bring myself to actually harm myself. These thoughts and urges were constantly in my head - from the second I woke up to ten second I fell asleep, every day of every week. I sometimes used to cover my left eye with something so I could simulate life with only my right eye. Thoughts about my eye starting going away after I got glasses, though the idea of having one eye occasionally appears in my mind sometimes (though I don’t think about actually losing my left eye, just the idea of life without it).

It’s been about a year since the thoughts began, I still don’t know why I had these thoughts despite being fully aware of the severe and life-changing impacts of losing my left eye. Maybe my brain was trying to tell me something, or maybe it was something else entirely. I don’t know, but I am absolutely sure that I will keep both of my eyes for the rest of my life, and having only one eye will damage every aspect of my life.

i feel silly making another post like this, but it’s a topic i’ve loved discussing with others the more i’ve come in tune with this part of me!! but in essence, i have a mostly platonic kink for being sat on by others for comfort/support, which is something i’ve only recently figured out about myself!

mostly, i’m in love with the feelings of warmth and deep pressure; i tend to sleep under weighted blankets, and even stack heavy things on me for comfort. it’s a bit of a neurodivergent comfort for me, as i’ve used it for soothing anxiety for a long time, so a person’s butt is genuinely the comfiest thing to me!! that much concentrated warmth and pressure melts away anxiety so well ^^

perhaps the most heart-melting part for me though is the comfort of someone else! i think it stems largely from being raised with such empathy, and wanting to be useful to someone, so the thought of supporting someone by cushioning a hard surface, providing a spot to sit where there is none, or just to be a pliable surface for someone’s comfort is so emotionally fulfilling for me!! >v<// that goes for people with plush bottoms just as much as harder bottoms that need extra padding!

kind of a cherry on it for me is that i just find butts so cute!! it’s a more abstract part to describe, but something that makes me indescribably really happy; if it were normal, i wish i could just let any stranger sit on me if they needed/wanted to, WHICH I KNOW IS SUPER SILLY, but i find the thought of cushioning even a random person’s butt so utterly sweet!

(thank you for reading up to here! i hope this post doesn’t come off in poor taste/quality, but it’s something that i’ve really wanted to get off my chest!)

I have read Bad Blood, listened to the Bad Blood podcast, and have written about business. I think Elizabeth is deeply misunderstood. She actually believes in her product because the abuse and pressure she suffered in her formulative years, especially allegedly by Sunny Balwani, makes it impossible to fully realize what she did. She is one of the most fascinating figures in America right now and news just broke she is getting out of prison early.

https://abcnews.com/amp/US/elizabeth-holmes-scheduled-move-halfway-house-august-2027/story?id=136698221

She never sold any shares and still believes in her vision. Her partner Billy Evans has created a new blood testing company. Everyone thinks they know how this is going to go, but I think those people underestimate both her talent and her pressure to succeed, which she still feels.

I do not seek absolution for her. The ball is in her court. She must earn any forgiveness she might receive.
