I am a person who had 18 inches of colon removed ama

Here is my proof! https://ibb.co/zh3Z5KpH I was born with something called dolichocolon which meant my colon was longer than average and twisted in places (which you can see in the left pic, that’s before surgery) and caused me severe pain and chronic constipation my whole life until I got this surgery. It has been life changing for the better. AMA!

I'm Todd Friedman and I've spent 15+ years suing employers and debt collectors on behalf of workers and consumers. Ask me anything — wrongful termination, wage theft, harassment, credit errors, identity theft, FCRA, FDCPA.

Hi Reddit,

I'm Todd M. Friedman, Founder and Managing Partner at Law Offices of Todd M. Friedman, P.C., based in Los Angeles, CA with offices in Illinois, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. I've spent my career representing employees and consumers whose rights have been violated — and I'm here to answer your employment law questions.

A bit about me:

  • I founded my firm over 15 years ago and have grown it to four offices across the country — Los Angeles, CA; Cleveland, OH; Chicago, IL; and Philadelphia, PA
  • I've been recognized as a Super Lawyer for 10+ consecutive years, a distinction earned by fewer than 5% of attorneys nationwide
  • I hold an AV Preeminent peer rating from Martindale-Hubbell — the highest possible rating for legal ability and ethics
  • I was named to the Top 40 Under 40 by the National Trial Lawyers
  • I've litigated and resolved numerous class actions on behalf of employees, recovering millions for workers in wage theft, misclassification, and discrimination cases

What I can cover:

  • Wrongful termination, retaliation, and whistleblower protections
  • Workplace discrimination and harassment based on any protected characteristic
  • Unpaid wages, overtime violations, meal/rest break denials, and employee misclassification
  • Employment Class actions and PAGA claims
  • Layoffs, severance agreements, and what to do if you've been pushed out
  • How to document workplace issues and when it's time to call a lawyer
  • Consumer Class Actions and Credit Reporting Cases

Ground rules:

  • I can provide general legal information — not legal advice specific to your situation
  • This post does not create an attorney–client relationship
  • Protect your privacy: no names, employer identifiers, or details that could identify you
  • I practice nationally but can speak most precisely to California law
  • If you have a legal deadline or urgent matter, please consult an attorney in your jurisdiction immediately

How to get the most useful answer:

Tell me your state, whether you're hourly or salaried, your industry, and a brief timeline. Example: "CA, salaried, tech. Put on a PIP two weeks after filing an HR complaint. Terminated 30 days later."

I'm answering live. Ask me anything.

I am a Wikipedia editor with 10000+ edits. AMA

I have been editing Wikipedia since 2023 when I started wondering how Wikipedia can keep itself relatively "clean" from glaring errors if "anyone can edit it", then fell into a rabbit hole about the back-end processes of the website when searching for answers to that question. From that point on, I decided that I wanted to help out editing. I currently have 10000+ edits on the English Wikipedia, which puts me in the top 0.1% in terms of edit count, and some of the articles I've written or improved have appeared on the Main Page before. As for what kind of edits I specifically make, I do a little bit of everything from writing/expanding articles, removing vandalism, serving as a clerk for the Arbitration Committee, etc. Feel free to ask me any questions you have about Wikipedia and I will be happy to answer them!

Edit: It is now July 2 at 7:25pm EST where I live, which means this AMA has gone for a whole day (as I intended originally) and I will thus be closing it down. Thank you everyone for participating! !lock

Hi Reddit! I'm Caroline Fraser, author of Prairie Fires, a Pulitzer prize winning biography of Laura Ingalls Wilder, and the Edgar Award winning Murderland, a true crime book about the history of serial killers. Ask Me Anything

A few years ago I started thinking about a question that's been around for a long time:  Why were there so many serial killers in the Pacific Northwest:  The Green River Killer, the Want-Ad Killer, the Happy Face Killer, the Werewolf Butcher of Spokane, and on and on?  I grew up near Seattle in the 1970s (on Mercer Island), around the time that Ted Bundy first came to attention.  At that time he was only a shadowy figure named "Ted" who seemed to be responsible for women disappearing all over the state.  I've often thought about that era because so many weird things were happening.  We didn't know about it then, but there was a serial killer growing up down the street from me (the so-called "Eastside Killer"), a mad bomber who tried to blow up the I-90 bridge to Bellevue, a notorious arsonist, and other strange characters.  Thinking about this, I got very interested in the history of lead poisoning in the area and something called the "lead-crime hypothesis."   I'm happy to answer questions about anything (I've also written about rewilding and the history of the Christian Science Church), but possible topics might include the history of serial killers and violent crime in the U.S., why crime was so bad in the 1970s, and what lead can do to your brain. 

Proof.

Sorry to be a bit late, but I'll be here from 1-3pm EST to answer your questions. Thanks!

I'm Olivia Cohen, a Canadian immigration lawyer. Six months into Bill C-3, ask me who actually qualifies for citizenship by descent and the common misreadings of who doesn't. Ask Me Anything

Hi Reddit,

I'm Olivia Cohen. I practice immigration and citizenship law.

Quick note on the account: I'm posting from u/canadavisa_com, the official account for CanadaVisa and Cohen Immigration Law, a law firm in Montreal that's been doing this since 1976.

Proof: https://imgur.com/a/c5vxUP7

Bill C-3 became an act on December 15, 2025, and removed the
first-generation limit on Canadian citizenship by descent.

Simply put: a lot of people born outside Canada to a Canadian parent, grandparent, or in some
cases, great-grandparent are already Canadian citizens by law. They just need to prove it.

Six months in, the same misreadings keep coming up. People who think they
qualify and don't. People who don't think they qualify and do.

The chain isn't always intuitive, and the documents can be the hard part.

Happy to take questions on:

  • Who actually qualifies under Bill C-3, and the common misreadings of who doesn't
  • The documents you need, and what to do when records are missing or in another language
  • Lost Canadians and how the new law affects them
  • The Dec 15, 2025 cutoff for passing citizenship to children born abroad
  • IRCC processing realities (the backlog is real and growing)

I can share general legal information in the thread, but I can't give case-specific advice publicly. Every situation is different, and the details matter.

I'll be live from Tuesday, June 30, 12:30 PM ET to 4:30 PM AM ET, and I'll check back over the next few days for anything I miss.

Ask me anything.

Olivia

I broke my neck 30 years ago today and crushing life from a wheelchair. AMA

I broke my neck when I was 18 and I've been paralyzed from the chest down ever since. The first couple years were rough but life goes on. I've worked incredibly hard to get where I am and put in as much effort to stay here.

I lead a fairly active life, have a great job, great friends and family and actually a pretty great life. I'm proud of where I am.

What would you like to know?

I don't know how else to prove who I am other than a picture of me in my wheelchair. So… here's my proof: Imgur

I’m Bill Robbins, CEO of Menlo Security. I've spent 30 years in cybersecurity at places like Symantec, Mandiant/FireEye, Sophos, and now Menlo. Ask me about my journey, about enterprise browser security, how AI is changing what it means to secure a company, or my quarter horses. Ask me anything!

Join us July 1st at 10AM PDT for our upcoming AMA with Bill Robbins, CEO of Menlo Security. Leave your questions early!

--------

Hi everyone, I’m Bill Robbins, Chief Executive Officer of Menlo Security. Based on my experience in the industry and what I’m hearing from enterprises all around the world today, I believe that we’re heading towards an AI-centric workforce. That is, one where billions of AI agents augment their human counterparts.

I've spent 30 years in this industry at Symantec, Mandiant/FireEye, and Sophos, and I think it's time enterprises wake up to the very real crossroads we're at: do we block or enable AI? And how do we do it safely? It’s why I’m helping to lead the charge to ensure AI gets the same protections, policies, and security rigor we apply to people. 

When I’m not thinking about that, I’m with my quarter horses, which is also a topic I’d love to talk about! So ask me about AI security, browser security, where I think this industry is heading, or whatever’s on your mind. 

I've seen this industry evolve through a lot of eras. This one feels different. Ask me anything.

Hi, I’m an opera singer based in Europe. Ask me anything!

IT'S MALA!

A plethora of cliches come to people's minds when they think of opera singers, but I am here to hopefully prove that we are creative weirdos just like any other artist and that our jobs are as complex and at times as annoying as any other job.

On my Youtube channel I have a lighthearted series where, among other things, I comment on my past recordings, but I love to focus on small creators and established stars of contemporary performing art, avant garde and popular genres of music. I also have a podcast with content ranging from career advice to resilience, applicable to both performers and general audiences.

Here is my proof: https://youtube.com/shorts/M4ZDvvYwZS0?feature=share

I am doing a brief Live Q&A on Youtube on Thursday, the 2nd of July at 9 PM CEST, if anyone wants to join me there too: https://youtube.com/live/P8pBiXAhCM4?feature=share

I am looking forward to your questions!

EDIT: I appreciate you reading my lengthy replies, I was so eager to geek out over your amusing questions. I am going to continue responding to comments until Thursday and I want to include some of your questions in the livestream, but right now I am winding down for the evening. Ask away, I will get back to you tomorrow!

EDIT 1: The questions were great and I had a lot of fun. Thanks for asking, reading and special thanks to those of you who joined my Livestream and subscribed!

MALA OUT!

IamA Abortion Rights Advocate in Canada! AMA about me or the Abortion Coalition of Canada!

My short bio:

From Joyce Arthur:

Hi AuntieNetworkCanada,

I’ve been an abortion rights activist for 38 years and a feminist for 60 years. This is my life’s work. I’m convinced that the right to abortion is foundational – it’s impossible to achieve gender equality without it.

In 2005, I founded the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada (www.arcc-cdac.ca), a national advocacy group that defends your legal right to abortion, works to improve access, and counters anti-choice initiatives.

AMA about myself or ARCC! July 8.

u/ARCC-CDAC

Message from the Mod at Auntie Network Canada: We are delighted and humbled to have an OG Canadian abortion rights advocate here at ANC to answer your questions! Feel free to post your questions in the thread between now and July 8th, and Joyce will answer as many as she can.

Happy Canada Day!
