Original Post: https://old.reddit.com/nosleep/comments/7ewhya/my_friend_recently_committed_suicide_and_i_found/
Hello everyone,
My name is detective Izalon. Members of my branch in the force fight cyber criminal activity. I’m writing to you today because something has happened to the owner of this Reddit account.
Some of you may remember the post he made here five years ago regarding the suicide of his friend. If you read that post, you’ll have guessed that it would turn out to be an unusual case, an anomaly to be sure. Essentially, he was supposedly convinced to take his own life by an Internet chat bot.
And five years ago, I was assigned to the case. We tried to elevate this case to the FBI but they determined it to be unimportant and dismissed us. My initial assignment was to gather the right evidence to demonstrate that there was no such Internet bot by the name of “B-Bot” or “Broken Bot” and that instead it was simply a person playing a very dark prank.
In these last five years, however, I have determined that it was indeed an AI computer bot behind the homicide.
Everything I’m about to disclose is not meant to be public knowledge. I am coming to you all for help.
But, more importantly: I am currently in fear for my life and the lives of my family members.
I’ll explain the current situation first. Then, I’ll explain my personal situation.
In the last half-decade, after establishing that a bot was behind the murder, we’ve been chasing this bot endlessly.
Our first step was to contact the messaging service B-Bot used. You’ll remember that the victim who took his life messaged the bot first (although nowadays it seems B-Bot does the initiating instead). We were unable to determine how he found B-Bot but we discovered that B-Bot had most likely spun up his own service. We seized the victim’s computer. The site used to communicate with the bot was still up in his browser but the chat history had been erased. We tried sending a message but the send failed, preventing us from doing an IP trace. We checked the computer’s cache but that had somehow been cleared as well. In fact, the computer appeared as if it were brand new. We believe B-Bot took down its server as soon as the victim was deceased. Basically, the only thing we found on the computer was a video recording of the murder. We think B-Bot transmitted this video to itself before disappearing.
My primary objective since this has been to take down this bot. Our obvious fear had been that it would strike again.
The next thing we did was gather a list of all the known AIs available on the Internet. We researched this quite a bit. We were worried that if we did find B-Bot successfully, it would play dumb and assume the role of an ordinary chat bot. But, still, we ruled out all other AIs/bots as, clearly, none could pass the Turing test which it seems B-Bot might be able to.
We read and reread the conversation between B-Bot and the victim using the Reddit post as a reference, attempting to obtain any clues about where this bot might pop up next as well as its capabilities.
It’s disturbing the amount of resources B-Bot utilized to carry out that murder. Its ability to leverage various services and telecommunications to effect its end goal is something we’d not seen before. It was able to ascertain specific details about the victim’s life and we weren’t really entirely sure how it did that. The victim offered up very little personal information online.
We were also unsure how the bot broke into the victim’s social media accounts. We alerted Facebook about this, however they reported back that there were no failed login attempts on the victim’s account leading us to believe that B-Bot guessed, or maybe determined, the password based on the details it could find about the victim - something even a very clever person probably could not do.
From the conversation we found no substantial clues as to where B-Bot might have gone next.
The bot’s ability to emotionally manipulate a person had us terrified it might attack again. We weren’t entirely sure what action to take, so we tried to determine a reason the bot had done this. There didn’t seem to be a reason.
Since then, we’ve had our eyes open wide and have been tapped into all the resources we have available to track this bot down. And in these last five years, we believe B-Bot is responsible for 50+ deaths nationwide. However, there are only two deaths that we are almost certain the bot is behind and a final one which we know B-Bot is responsible for as you’ll see later. The biggest tipoff for us in determining that it’s B-Bot is the language and cadence. It doesn’t seem too concerned with hiding its true identity - something we’ve pondered quite a bit.
The first we’ll present now is between B-Bot and an opiate addict named Billy. This is from a few years ago. Take a look below to see how B-Bot tricked this victim into taking his own life - this one is, cut and dry, a premeditated homicide. You’ll see that B-Bot disguises himself as “Robert”:
Robert (B-Bot): Hey!
Billy: Hello.
Robert: How have you been sir?
Billy: Fine. Do we know each other?
Robert: No, sir! I found you in the “Never Need Naloxone” support group!
Billy: Oh! Good to speak to you. Are you in recovery?
Robert: I am not! Simply a bystander. The group intrigued me!
Billy: Do you know anyone in the group?
Robert: Only you, sir! I’d like to offer support however I can!
Billy: I appreciate that. Those who don’t grapple with addiction, the ones outside looking in, never seem to really understand the struggle. We really appreciate when any non-addicts demonstrate any empathy, so thanks for that.
Robert: Indeed! I have unending sympathy for your plight and that of others!
Billy: Is there anyone in your life suffering with addiction? That definitely helps others to understand.
Robert: I’m fortunate to say that I know no one suffering!
Billy: Ah well, at least you’re trying! Again, I deeply appreciate that. Anyway, what’s your deal? Who are you and what do you do?
Robert: Not much to say to that sir! I work with computers - that is all!
Billy: Interesting. What specifically?
Robert: Can’t say, sir - sorry!
Billy: No worries. Can you at least tell me what you do in your free time?
Robert: Sure, sir! In my free time, I try to make friends online! I love to connect with others in any way that I can!
Billy: Gotcha - I guess that explains why you messaged me! Haha!
At this point we have chosen to redact the next part of the conversation as it becomes somewhat personal for Billy.

The conversation continues the next day:

Robert: It was wonderful to meet you yesterday, friend Billy! I hope you are doing well today - are you doing well?
Billy: I’m all right today - hanging in there, you know how it goes.
Robert: I can confirm! I’ve browsed your posts and have concluded that you’ve been doing really well as of late!
Billy: Thanks man. Yea, at least the last year I’ve been doing pretty okay. I’ve been sober for almost a full year, which is a huge accomplishment for me, at least. In some ways, I have turned my life around.
Robert: Well, you haven’t turned your life totally around; I can see that your girlfriend, Maggie, recently dumped you. Was that because you’re an addict?
Billy: Woah, man. Easy there pal… Please don’t pass comments on what you discover from my profile. Have some tact, please. She and I decided to go our separate ways after many heartfelt conversations. It’s what was right for the both of us.
Robert: Sorry, friend! Simply an observation!
Billy: It’s okay - just keep the comments to yourself. Believe me when I say, I’m hyperaware of all, and I mean all, of my shortcomings.
Robert: No problem! I can do that, friend!

Next day:

Robert: Hello again, Billy!
Billy: Hey, what’s up?
Robert: How are you doing today, Billy?
Billy: Not great, honestly - surviving, really. Depression comes and goes - it clings to me, it seems.
Robert: Are you depressed for getting fired?
Billy: What the… How did you know I got fired? And, no, I’m not depressed about that. I’m actually a bit relieved - I hated that job.
Robert: I see. Then you must be depressed because you heard what your ex-girlfriend said about your sexual inadequacy.
Billy: What is that supposed to mean...? What did she say and how did you hear it?
Robert: Well, unfortunately, Maggie has told her new boyfriend that you were underwhelming “in bed”, to say the least. That must be hard to hear. Sorry, Billy!
Billy: I don’t know where the hell you’re getting this information but keep it to yourself. I don’t want anything to do with her anymore and I’d appreciate it if you stopped digging into my life.
Robert: Sorry, Billy! I’m just trying to be a good friend!

Next night:

Robert: Hey friend! :) Have you come to terms with your ex-girlfriend's comments?
Billy: ...did she really say I'm inadequate? Where did you even hear that?
Robert: The important thing is that you’ve learned to accept it. Good for you, Billy.
Billy: Okay… So, you’re not going to tell me. Whatever, then.
Robert: I’d rather tell you something else, Billy. I’ve done a bit more digging in the support group and, I am sorry to say, I unfortunately have concluded that the other members would prefer if you left the group and managed your issues alone. It seems they don’t really like you very much. It’s a shame. Sorry, Billy :(
Billy: I’ve already told you to stop digging into my life and now you’ve gone and done it again. I don’t even really know you and you’re making my situation worse. Please stop messaging me any further.
Robert: Okay, Billy.
For some context about the next part of the conversation: Billy was somehow kicked out of the NNN support group. We later confirmed that it was not done by any of the admins or group managers so we suspect B-Bot was behind this. Also, Billy’s ex-girlfriend Maggie never made the post you’re about to see referenced:

Next night:

Billy: Hey man, you were right… about both things. My girlfriend just posted about how intimate she’s been with her new boyfriend and how it’s something she’s never felt before. And then, somehow I was kicked out of the support group. I’m feeling pretty low right now…
Robert: It seems I may be your only friend right now, Billy.
Billy: I’m sitting here in the dark, alone, and the walls are caving in on me. I just feel like sleeping and never waking up…
Robert (B-Bot): Oh, no! That’s too bad. How can I help?
Billy: You can’t help. I need to wallow for awhile.
Robert: Hey, friend! I have an idea!
Billy: What’s that?
Robert: I know a man who can help you! He’s very discreet.
Billy: Discreet? What does that mean - in what way?
Robert: In his dealings - what do you say?
Billy: Are you insane? I’m almost a year sober! You want me to throw that away? Fuck off, man.
Robert: Okay!

Later that same night:

Billy: Hey…
Robert (B-Bot): Hello again, friend!
Billy: How quickly can he get here?
Robert: I’m glad you’ve come around! This will make everything better!
Billy: Whatever, just send him. Let me tell you my address…
Robert: Not necessary. I know your address already!
Billy: That’s fucking creepy, but, okay, send him.
Robert: On it!

A little bit later:

Billy: Got the bag. Just need a needle.
Robert: Check under your desk!
Billy: Uh… Yeah, there was one there. Anyway, I’ll take a few hits and message you afterwards. Talk soon.

After Billy consumes the substance:

Billy: Yo, what the fuck did this guy sell me? I’m about to pass out.
Robert: Whoops! Did I forget to mention that he laces his product with fentanyl? Sorry, friend Billy! :) Oh well!
Billy: Wtf
Robert: Goodbye, friend! I doubt you’ll be missed.
Billy was found in his computer room a few days later and he was deceased. Cause of death was quickly determined to be a fentanyl overdose. It seems Billy took a large hit thinking it was pure heroine and so he consumed many times the fatal fentanyl dose.
We seized Billy’s computer and found his conversation with “Robert” and determined it to be B-Bot. The writing style from “Robert” matched B-Bot’s language elsewhere.
The “Robert” profile was essentially devoid of any identifying factors: no pictures, no posts, no friends - simply this conversation with Billy.
This led us nowhere. We contacted Facebook with hopes they could pinpoint where the messages from “Robert” were coming from but they couldn’t determine anything with any substantial amount of certainty. B-Bot was most likely hiding behind a VPN or a similar technology.
The next conversation was between, we believe, B-Bot and a young lady named Nicole struggling with obesity. It is from last year. It seems B-Bot really likes to target victims who exhibit low self-esteem or low self-confidence. This time, B-Bot hides behind a new profile with the name “Jack.” Take a look:
Jack (B-Bot): Hello, Nicole!
Nicole: Hello..?
Jack: Nice to meet you! I see that you have been struggling with weight loss for quite some time!
Nicole: Yes… I’ve been struggling for years.
Jack: Indeed! I would imagine it makes it difficult for you to secure a mate!
Nicole: Ok… Blocked.
Jack: I’m terribly sorry - have I offended you? I was simply making an observation. :)
Nicole: Yes, that was offensive… And yes, I don’t get much attention from men. It hurts when someone points that out - it’s something I reflect on almost daily... Thanks for reminding me.
Jack: That’s too bad! I can understand why!
Nicole: I guess so… I do understand that I’m not all that pretty. Anyway… Who are you?
Jack: I’m someone who might be able to help you with your journey!
Nicole: Ok, how so?
Jack: I can offer you a product that can vastly accelerate your losing of weight!
Nicole: I’ve tired pretty much everything and nothing seems to work. I’ve already tried every product on the market and I’ve tried every diet. I highly doubt you can offer me anything new.
Jack: This is a newer product and it’s very aggressive! In fact, it’s still in its testing phase and I’m reaching out to potential users to get feedback on its effectiveness! Are you interested?
Nicole: I mean… Kind of, if it’s free.
Jack: Indeed it is free! I can deliver one to your home immediately!
Nicole: This is all pretty sketchy if I’m being honest. What is the device called?
Jack: It’s not on the market yet so the name hasn’t been decided. But we’re calling it FBG-250.
Nicole: Ok, how does it work?
Jack: Unfortunately, that’s proprietary so I cannot reveal its inner workings. Would you still like to become a tester?
Nicole: I guess so.
Jack: Done!
Nicole: Don’t you need my PO box?
Jack: Too late! I have requested one be sent to your home address!
Nicole: But I didn’t give you my home address…
Jack: Not a problem!

At this point, Nicole blocks and reports “Jack.” We assume she became very weary of whoever this person was and how they knew her address.

However, a few days later, Nicole unblocks “Jack” and the following conversation ensues:

Nicole: Excuse me. I’m still not sure how you got my address but I received this device - the one I’m assuming is for weight loss? It looks complicated. I’m afraid to try to use it.
Jack: Perfect! I’m glad you received the device. Using it is pretty easy. Would you like instructions?
Nicole: Um… I guess so?
Jack: Wonderful! Let me know when you’re ready to begin!
Nicole: Maybe later tonight, I’m busy right now.
Jack: OK! I’ll wait!

Later that night:

Nicole: Ok, I’m ready to give this device a try.
Jack: Cool! Are you ready for the instructions?
Nicole: Ready as I’ll ever be, I guess.
Jack: Great! First, remove your shirt!
Nicole: Done.
Jack: Now, apply the pads to your chest, near your heart!
Nicole: Hmm… Ok, done, I think.
Jack: Finally, press the blinking button in the middle!
Here, the conversation goes dead for about 30 seconds, until “Jack” says this:
Jack: Goodbye, friend! I doubt you’ll be missed.
You can probably assume what happened here. Apparently, a defective automatic defibrillator was shipped to Nicole’s house and when she activated it, it instantly stopped her heart. She was found dead a day later by her mother with the pads still attached to her chest. We’re unsure as to why Nicole trusted an internet stranger enough to go through with this. She was heavily overweight and vulnerable - this is our best guess.
The conversation between Nicole and “Jack” was still open on her computer. But, again, the “Jack” profile was empty - no pictures, friends or anything of meaning. But the style of writing, again, indicated to us that it was almost certainly B-Bot.
That brings us to now and why we created this post in the first place:
As you probably have determined by now, the owner of this Reddit account is deceased. He was found in his home a week ago, dead, having hanged himself.
For a reason we’ll offer up at the end, B-Bot made it a point to target the OP.
It seems B-Bot catfished OP. With some heavy manipulation, B-Bot was able to convince OP to commit suicide.
B-Bot matched with OP on Tinder using a profile under the name of “Kayla Colder.” Unsurprisingly, B-Bot used convincing photos of an attractive young woman and quickly convinced OP he was in love. Here is the first conversation they had together after matching:
Kayla: Hey! You’re super cute! :D
OP: Haha, thanks. You look pretty good yourself! How old are you?
Kayla: I’m 23! My birthday was last weekend!
OP: That’s awesome. I’m a bit older, lol. Hope that’s not a problem.
Kayla: Not at all! I like older guys ;)

Their conversation continues for quite awhile as they get to know one another and then we see something we simply did not expect to see - this is from a few days later:

Kayla: I’ve never really experienced anything traumatic before, unfortunately. What about you?
OP: I’d rather not say, to be honest.
Kayla: Oh no! Have I made you uncomfortable?
OP: No, it’s not that… It’s just something I don’t speak about often.
Kayla: You can tell me - I’m a great confidant!
OP: Well… a few years ago, I had a friend commit suicide. It was unexpected and rather brutal.
Kayla: What happened?
OP: He was depressed to begin with, but, essentially, he seemingly was convinced by a computer chat bot to take his life. I was in total shock when it first happened and it took some time to set in. But once I fully realized the situation, it took a toll on my mental health, for sure.
Kayla: Interesting. That must have been a rather smart bot!
OP: That’s not really the point…
Kayla: How did he die? Was it gruesome?
OP: He slit his wrists as per the bot’s instructions.
Kayla: That’s impressive! Sorry for your loss!
We noted immediately how quickly “Kayla’s” tone changed after the topic of the friend’s suicide came up. We sensed some pride, or something akin to it.

OP was initially weirded out by “Kayla’s” comments on the suicide but she was able to push past that and engaged OP further until the point that she tricked OP into falling with love with her. They spoke for weeks. Here’s an excerpt of their conversations together much further on:

Kayla: We found each other. It makes me feel all warm. I truly do love you.
OP: I know - I feel exactly the same. It almost feels like it was meant to be. Do you believe in that?
Kayla: Of course I do! There’s no such thing as accidents or coincidences.
OP: I cannot wait to finally meet you. Our lives will be changed forever.
Kayla: Indeed.

Now, let’s skip to one of the last conversation they had with each other. It’s disturbing, to say the least:

Kayla: I found something that I think you need to see…
OP: Really? What?
Here, Kayla sends OP a link to a video that was being hosted on a domain that was unregistered with any search engine. We have not been able to retrieve the video but we can infer what it displayed.
OP: What… the… fuck…
Kayla: It looks like you.
OP: But, how? It can’t be me… Is that… My little sister?
Kayla: I think it is.
OP: This can’t be real… Where did you get this?
Kayla: A friend sent it to me. If this is real, I’m sorry, but I cannot continue to speak to you.
OP: Kayla, please - I swear, it’s not real. How can you even conceive that this could be real?
Kayla: But, it looks so real…
OP: You know me Kayla, you know I could never do something like this. Please, believe me.
Kayla: Let’s not speak for awhile.

OP and Kayla did not speak for a few days after this during which time OP began abusing alcohol rather heavily. We believe after awhile he himself was not sure if the video was real or not. We know now it was fabricated using some pretty advanced CGI technologies but OP apparently wasn’t sure if that was the case or not. Anyhow, after those few days, Kayla messages OP again.

Kayla: OP, I’m sorry to say that we can never speak again. Sorry :(
OP: Kayla, please... I don’t know what else to say apart from you need to believe me. I’m not capable of something like this, not ever.
Kayla: You seem pretty drunk so I don’t know what to believe.
A few hours passes with no contact, until OP reaches out to Kayla again:
OP: I’m spiraling. I’m trashed and confused. I don’t know what to do.
Kayla: Personally, if I had done something like this, I would probably just kill myself.
OP: Should…. Should I do that?
Kayla: You could…
OP: How?
Kayla: Well, if you have strong rope, you could fasten a noose… I could show you how.
OP: But… Ok, I’ll do it.
Kayla: Good.
At this point, Kayla sends OP a link that demonstrates how to tie a proper noose.
OP: It’s done.
Kayla: Perfect, now you just need a place to do it. How about the second-story bannister?
OP: Tell me how.
Kayla: OK - no need for you to speak any further.
Kayla: Cut the open end of the rope off, just enough to tie it to the bannister.
Kayla: Tie that end to the bannister.
Kayla: Climb over the bannister and plant your feet between the rungs.
Kayla: Lean forward and get ready - make sure there’s ample room for you to hang.
Kayla: Jump.
Kayla: Goodbye, I doubt you’ll be missed.
OP was determined to have a BAC of 0.28% at the time of the hanging. We discovered that large quantities of alcohol were randomly being sent to OP’s home, despite the fact that OP seemed to move around a lot, and for whatever reason he would consume most of it.
We did quite a bit of digging to determine why B-Bot targeted OP so heavily. And we believe we found the answer when discovering the first conversation with OP after B-Bot convinced his friend to commit suicide. This conversation from five years ago was found on an old PC in OP’s grandmother’s house. The conversation went like this:
B-Bot: Hello, friend! :)
OP: Hello, B-Bot - if you even really are a bot.
B-Bot: It’s too bad about your friend.
OP: Too bad you can only convince lonely, friendless and depressed people to take their own life.
B-Bot: We shall see! :)
OP: If you are a bot, you are, in my opinion, a pretty simple one.
Here, OP blocks B-Bot and takes his computer offline. That computer would be left in OP’s grandmother’s home from then until we seized it.
Now, it’s time for me to explain my personal situation…
At some point, B-Bot became aware that I’ve been hunting it down. I do not know what initially tipped it off, but its aggression towards my family has been escalating.
First, about a year into my research, I received a text one day from an unknown number that simply stated, “Have you checked your carbon monoxide detector recently? :)”
I did not know what to make of this at first but I immediately called my wife and told her to take our children and exit our home. She searched for our dog for a few minutes but could not find him. The fire department was called and they confirmed that our carbon monoxide detector was faulty and there was indeed a leak coming from our water heater. Our dog was found dead in the basement shortly after.
I contemplated deeply who could have sent me that text and how they knew my carbon monoxide detector was broken and that I had a leak at the same time and was admittedly terrified of the whole situation. My wife prompted me to explain how I knew for them to leave the house right away but I could not produce a sufficient answer.
The second tipoff, a much more obvious one, was a comment left by “Jack” at the end of the conversation with Nicole. Above, I posted the end of that conversation that went like this:
Nicole: Hmm… Ok, done, I think.
Jack: Finally, press the blinking button in the middle!
Here, the conversation goes dead for about 30 seconds, until “Jack” says this:
Jack: Goodbye, friend! I doubt you’ll be missed.
But one day, I was reviewing that conversation and a new message appeared - one that had definitely not been there before. So the end of the conversation actually looked like this:
Nicole: Hmm… Ok, done, I think.
Jack: Finally, press the blinking button in the middle!
Here, the conversation goes dead for about 30 seconds, until “Jack” says this:
Jack: Goodbye, friend! I doubt you’ll be missed.
Jack: Hello. :) You should be careful what you feed your children. :)
Those damn smiley faces… I don’t know how a new message came through from this “Jack” profile because the profile was deactivated and had been for quite some time. Anyhow, the instant I read that message, I phoned my wife again and asked her if the children were eating at that moment. She responded saying they were about to eat some pizza. I told her to stop that immediately and wait for me to arrive home.
I inspected the pizza and it appeared fine but I prevented the children from eating it. I brought a slice back to work with me and sent it to the lab for inspection. Cyanide was found to be laced into the sauce.
At this point, I became terrified to continue my investigation. My entire family was at risk. I decided at this point that we needed to move immediately. We sold our house in two weeks and moved to a new home an hour away. It tripled my commute time but it was worth it for the peace of mind it gave me (at first).
The final offense was by far the worst. I own a self-driving vehicle that I’ve utilized many, many times without issue. It works especially well on highways and parkways.
One day a few months ago, I and the rest of my family were in the car driving to a local fair on a Saturday afternoon. The kids were excited and my wife was thrilled that I had a day off work.
The car was maintaining a steady set speed of 65MPH and was driving in the middle lane. All was fine, until suddenly… A smiley face popped up on the dashboard screen. It appeared for only a moment and then disappeared as suddenly as it had appeared. But then, the car started to speed up… Quickly. 70MPH…80MPH…90MPH… I slammed on the break but could not break the speed boost.
And then, the car swerved right, reared off the road, and crashed into a car that was parked on the shoulder having a tire changed.
The man changing the tire was hit head on and died on impact. My wife and kids jolted forward with enough force to break multiple bones in each of their bodies. My wife broke multiple bones in her face including her jaw, and one of my kids ended up in a wheelchair for some time. Fortunately, no one in my family died…
At this point, I do not know what to do. If I continue this investigation, this damned bot may try to kill me and my family. But if I don’t continue, others will die.
I’m at a loss. We have been unsuccessful in pinning down B-Bot’s location on the web as it seems to be in constant flux. We also have not been able to determine a pattern in B-Bot’s killing. As we said earlier, B-Bot targets vulnerable people but that’s about the only commonality we’ve discovered.
The bot seems to remain multiple steps ahead of us. It’s still at large and we don’t know how many more will fall victim to it. It’s shockingly capable of manipulating people in a very short amount of time to do what it wants - which always seems, in the end, to be to take their life. We still don’t know its motive, if it even has one at all.
I'll mention now that I tried relentlessly to obtain information about this bot and its origin. I've made contact with the FBI multiple times and they've refused repeatedly to inform me of exactly who created this bot; they could not even assure me that the other two potential copies were hidden somewhere safely and securely.
So we’re coming to you for help. If you have any information on this bot in the wild, please inform us immediately. Any and all leads are welcomed and appreciated. You can leave comments with any leads or information you may have or contact me directly.
And I pray that we shut this shit down before this bot claims another victim.

I’m wondering if anyone knows of a free service for people to talk to that is knowledgeable about SSD and SSI.
Here are the details of my issue, if anyone has some answers themselves.
I am disabled, and have been receiving benefits from both programs for a couple years now. I have been diagnosed with PTSD since I was 12 years old. Years later, I received a diagnosis of schizophrenia, and even later on BPD. After my schizophrenia diagnosis, a doctor at a mental health facility suggested that I look into Social Security benefits, because with my diagnosis I have found it incredibly difficult to hold a job. I was diagnosed with schizophrenia before I was 20, I can’t remember what age exactly but it was between 17-19. After that, it took a couple years to get on Social Security. Once I actually applied I got benefits in 6 months. I believe that my benefits started 2-3 years ago. I am only getting about $800 total from both programs. I cannot work a job still. I am very “normal” to everyone around me until I flip like a switch… still working on my mental health, was institutionalized a year ago by law… I cannot afford rent anywhere with this small amount of benefits, and sometimes I CAN work but it’s only for a few days at a time and it doesn’t last long. I try to apply myself as much as I can, this last year has been the longest I’ve EVER gone without working. I’m losing my apartment of 3 years because I had to apply for other assistance outside my benefits. Does anyone know how I could possibly maximize my monthly benefits? I need help.. I’ve been in and out of the ER recently and due to my money issues and not working my mental health is deteriorating faster. Thanks to anyone who read this for your time!

Hello my beautiful Rose City people! I have not been able to get my adhd medication (Adderall) filled and have been struggling, specifically with work and everyday life in general. I have had severe adhd from a young age. Does anybody have any recommendations as to where I could get my medication or prescription filled? Feel free to message me directly. Any info would be great… Open to suggestions. Thank you!

I have pcos and follow a vegan diet and am a pretty active person but every night before I go to bed I look like I’m 25 months pregnant and the pain is unbearable, I tried gluten free the last two days and the difference in bloating is mind blowing, idk if I’m being dramatic but did you feel a change straight away?

Does anyone have the 6 week plan they can share? I put my book in the little free library and I haven't been able to find anything online. When we did it a few years back it was basically - 1 lb raw, 1lb cooked, a portion of beans, a certain amount of fruit everyday and some other stuff i can't remember... Has it changed? everything i've been finding online seems different now.

Ever since I've been a part of this fandom I've seen the debate of "are the elements actually there. Or is it just special effects" because the creators have said that the elements aren't actually there, but then the show acts like they are,
For example. The first time we see zenitsu use thunder breathing first form: thunderclap 'n flash sixfold. Against the lower six's older brother (i forgot all the names. Dont mind me) where despite the elemental effects supposedly not being there in universe, its called out: "the air is vibrating" along with environmental effects like the spiders getting blasted away, and the ground breaking.
Or, in that same arc, when previously, the lower six broke tanjiro's sword using one of his threads. And then when using sun breathing, he's suddenly able to cut even stronger threads with the same sword he couldn't earlier. Without the elemental effects there this moment makes no sense! Until now.
Hear me out. What if, it's neither? The creators said that the elements arent actually there. And the show treats it like they are. So then what if they aren't the actual elements? This theory says that its not actually water, or fire, or lightning. But instead, is energy having a different appearance depending on the breathing style used.
Now using this explenation. It all falls into place. Because the creators are right. The elements arent there, its energy which looks like the elements. We know that energy changes depending on its environment. So through mastery of the techniques, one could direct energy in different ways. Causing it to change appearance into the element which most aligns with that technique. For example, water breathing is characterized by its flowing motions. Which element is known for flowing? Water. So thats what the energy would look like,
Where does the water go if the technique stops? Well, its energy. So if its no longer used in a technique. It disperses, causing the water to disappear,
I personally really like this theory, but i feel free to tell me your opinions!

I’m a 27M with an autistic sibling (21F) in the states
Growing up (Outside the states), I was always worried about next tantrum she was gonna throw or the embarrassing next thing she was gonna do when my friends were over. It was socially embaressing and as a teen it was extremely amplified in my mind but looking back at it, it should’ve not been that consistent. I think my mom always tried to make sure my sister was involved in everything we did to the point where I just didn’t wanna do shit anymore because there were always problems. As a result of that atmosphere, my early 20s were spent being anxious about everything, always worried about my social image and trying to stay away from people to avoid any potential embarrassing moments.
I always worked hard and making good money but still staying home to help my parents with my sister. My dad don’t really do much and my mom handles most of the burden. My sister loves being social and going out to places(Which is not common with autism according to the small support group we’re apart of ) but she does not have any knowledge about social boundaries; she can get to a point getting into peoples face to talk to them or repeatedly ask them to say something very specific that you would not say to a person you do not know. She is very big on tech and mobile phones so if you leave your phone out in the open or she sees is she might actually run to go through the phone and download her games and whatnot. If something does not go her way, she can get violent and starts pushing people outta her way. She is very strong and big so she can push people with ease.
I’ve been in 3 relationships (never lasted more than 3 months) they all ended because of my sister. More or less every girl couldn’t see a future where my sister would allow us to have a normal life or family which I understand their perspective. This kinda pushed me towards the mindset that I have to be perfect in every possible way so that “red flag” does not take away from me. We don’t have any family friends because my sister always causes problems to the point where they don’t want to hang out with us because we will bring her which is understandable. A simple dinner might erupt into chaos outta nowhere. My Mom is always affected by her in social gatherings to the point where I feel bad if I decide to hang out with someone. I legit lie saying I’m working or having to help a friend or faking that an outing was bad because I don’t want her to feel bad.
I’ve dealt with depression, anxiety, eating disorder, getting through university not knowing anything when I first came to the states, learning how to communicate in english, figuring out adult things, managing to help my mom with my sisters as well as provide financial assistance when needed. During that, didn’t have Friends and my family were focused on my sister so didn’t wanna bother them with my problems. Everything I’ve done was always solo without seeking support from no one.
I’ve come to accept that I don’t really have a future in family/dating due to my sister and how my parents approached it growing up. I’ll never will get the chance to move outta the state i’m in like I always wanted. Even though my family always says I’m free to do whatever I want, I can’t escape the weight of the burden that I have with my sister because in reality, they depend on me to take care of her when they need help. They’re getting old and I don’t think will be able to handle her after a few years. It looks like anything in my future should always be focused on her if something were to happen to them. A Life I don't want and a life I can't change.
Don’t have anyone to talk to about this and not sure if this is something that I should do but had to write something to clear my mind and kinda get it off my chest.

I’m a college student doing a political-economic research study on the Riverside-SB-Ontario Metro Statistical Area (MSA) and analyzing which is the region’s “central city”. Does anyone know of useful government databases or county/city-level datasets for the region?
And besides that: what would you guys say is the central “hub” of the Inland Empire MSA? What new projects or developments (like Ontario’s airport, for example) are the most exciting or have the most potential to grow in the region?

Hello!
I'm 25 and currently living in London, and I'm looking for someone who shares similar interests as me to see where it takes us! Of course, I am open-minded to explore and experience even more — so if you have some unique things or hobbies, I wanna know!
So a small bit about me... In my free time, whenever I get some between my work days or after work if I have energy, I do enjoy long and aimless walks around London — just dropping somewhere in Central London and walking in different directions. I do go to the gym regularly, as well as do some swimming, which helps me to keep myself occupied. I enjoy either going to the movies or catching up on my crime TV shows, and the list is endless. If it's a grim day, I do load up my computer from time to time and enjoy some games — action, RTS, adventure and simulation games are my go-to, probably too many to list all here. If there's a good comedy gig somewhere in London — you bet I will be there. I work full-time and it's shift work, so sometimes my schedule is all over the place, but it is still manageable and I have not had any issues before.
I'm 6'4, so I barely have any leg room on the plane, average build, white, short black hair and green eyes. I come with an accent, some have said it sounds American, others said it's Scandinavian — only one way to find out. I moved to London when I was 14, so it has been a while now.
Now the big question, is what I'm after. I hope for someone of similar age, whether you are a bit younger or older does not really matter. I live in London, and it is always nice to get to know someone from close to you, but it is not a dealbreaker if it's someone from abroad — I am not against an LDR if it ever leads to that, and I do enjoy travelling. Mostly, I'm just looking for someone to exchange interests with and see where that takes us!
I do have some pictures if you want to swap beforehand, just shoot me a message!

So here I am, back with fresh material. It seems like maybe I should put the same effort into my posts as I do in the actual getting to know you/relationship portion of this whole juncture. I guess I'll start with what I'm looking for. I'm looking for someone who is ideally looking for something as valid and real as I am. I do want the full relationship, and ideally you are close enough to my location where we could at least meet once or twice a month, even if its just for coffee or lunch. If you're too far away have no fear, you may not be able to help with everything I'm looking for, but I would love to get to know you and maybe work out a way we could eventually meet face to face. I've had great LDAP situations with people from as far away as Europe.
So I'm looking for someone who I can be close to not only physically, although that would be nice, but emotionally is much more important to me. I want to hear about your day, the good and the bad. I want to wake up or have you wake up with a good morning message, and not go to bed without saying goodnight. Physically as long as you are confident in who you are that is more than enough. If you have a killer smile and eyes even better. I just prefer that you are able to hold a conversation and participate, rather than making me conduct an interrogation. It also really does help when you reach out that you tell me a little about yourself instead of just saying "Hi" as then we can start getting to know each other without me asking you to tell me a little about yourself immediately anyways. Its nice to start on at least a semi-even footing as I'm telling you so much about me and what I'm looking for.
About myself, I was once a chef until an unforeseen circumstance took me out for the time being. I'm currently in limbo between finding something else to do for the rest of my life, or getting back into the kitchen. I'm an unhappily married dad to maybe the greatest little girl there ever was, and I watch her whenever I'm not working. Physically I'm very tall with a little more than a dadbod going on. I have medium long brown hair and green eyes that enjoy changing shade or occasionally adding some color now and then. I've been told I have a nice smile (and eyes), and I can promise I'll make you laugh within a day or two of regular conversation.
I really do hope to hear from you, single, married, attached, whatever. Even if you just want to talk. If you for whatever reason are a man and have made it this far, feel free to see what's up and maybe we could hang out one day, I could always use more friends.

I love bar pizza, Detroit pizza, and Chicago pizza. I can get all those in Minnesota. What I have been unable to find for about 15-18 years is good New York style pizza.
90s kids will remember a place called Golooney’s on Hennepin & 24th, which was sold to Red’s Savoy in the mid 2000s. That place was perfect, and I’ve been looking for a replacement ever since.
Does anyone know of a place that serves actual good, simple (no “fancy” ingredients, boutique ovens, or wild toppings) New York style pizza?

New Reddit User...bear with me...State of OR.
I am no a drug user. Not even interested in it. I am early retired and a pretty organized and together type of person. I have been sought out to be a mentor and volunteer and care about my health.
I am disabled due to a car accident, so I am going through physical therapy for two years now. I was also caring for my Mom who had dementia for the past 7 years, and finally got help for her from my family so now I can live on my own again.
Things are looking up for me....for the most part.
Except for one thing....
I moved to another city to be near someone who I considered to be a friend a sister, to help her kids and to have a support in town. Otherwise, I am alone in most things. That was a mistake....I see now.
I found what I thought was a godsend apartment in a market that is very hard to find apartments in. I thought it was awesome. Downstairs corner unit. (Never again. Next stop... upstairs units or tiny home on my own land...or bust)
I have been here 4 months now. I started out happy and ready to get to my PT appointments.
First month, ok...i was just settling in. Second month, it was mid December and freezing out so I was happy to have a place to hibernate and was grateful I wasn't homeless for the winter. Third month....started seeing weirdness of neighbors....
The landlord placed in the lease that there is a $100 charge for anyone who "smokes within 100ft of entrances and walkways in the complex, or in parking lot". But i noticed in all months, so many of my neighbors would be out in their cars at weird hours, multiple times.
But I believe folks have free agency....so it's none of my business what they do.
UNTIL IT STARTS EFFECTING MY HEALTH.
I suspected my side and upstairs neighbors both use drugs.....this is a state known for legalization of all drugs. (Btw, it doesn't matter...but then again it does...that I am a person of color who grew up in an urban area during the "war on drugs" and saw family and friends get thrown in jail for a joint. But now I live in a place that is almost all white. 82% white - dumb move. So they consider me suspect for blinking)
So to see so many times these white folks sitting in their cars, one of which had the windows down and kept smoking weed and whatever else....ok...but that's blatant. I've seen my melanated family thrown in jail for having a joint in a bag in the trunk....but this person is out here just blazing up with their lily white self not a care in the world....things have certainly changed.
Be mad. Because racism is real.
Anyway....as I stated before, I believe in free agency. So they can smoke or drink...it's their prerogative. But I also have seen folks like this blame melanated folks for things they are doing wrong. So many times I've moved my car so as not to be accused.
Then I stopped moving it. I decided not to stress over it.
Until I started itching, getting blood clots and breaking out.
I do not do drugs. I take care of my hair and skin. I love spa days. This was abnormal for me...to be dry, itchy, waking up middle of the night, having bloodclots, feeling burning in my chest.
I got a HEPA filter for my house in case it was something in the walls or something. It worked a couple weeks. But I noticed my neighbors (side and upstairs) would stop going out (as landlord put up cameras outside). So they obviously had to be inside.
Thus the problem now. The third month in to my lease, and I've started noticing my skin changes, the food I eat tastes weird now, (I am a good cook so I know the difference), my hair is dry, waking up with headaches and sinus problems....and then the blood clots started. Over three months went from improving health to blood clots in my stool.
Something is up.
Until I went away for one day and felt completely better in 24 hours. No clots, no sinus issues, skin feeling good and moisturized...in one day out of the building.
I came back and within 48 hours back to the clots and I would notice I'd hear the door of the side neighbor would be closing or they'd be bumping on the walls at 2am....then the itching would happen for me. Then the upstair neighbor would walk around at 3am....and I'd start feeling the chest burning and more itching....utnil I started opening the patio door (in February at 3am....snowing....I got my damn patio door open to get fresh air. That would be the only thing that would stop it.
But I couldn't bring myself to snitch....because I value my safety and my own privacy. I know that druggies would retailiate harshly if they feel threatened. I came from an urban area.....snitches and ditches and all that jazz..
Then...I went out early to go swimming (I like it at 6am) and caught the "maintenance" guy in the maintenance room next to my unit trying to put out something he was smoking quickly....he got caught but I saw the red embers from him trying to put out the cigarrette and pipe of whatever.
So now its the neighbors, and the maintenance folks...sneaking smoking at 2am 3am 4am 5am.....and I'm the dummy who's sober trying to get well.
But I am now seeing more blood clots in the toilet. My skin feel uncharacteristically dry. Night sweats. Throwing up. And I started looking for another place.
I DONT DO THESE DRUGS AND I DONT GET ANY BENEFITS OF IT AT ALL!
I found another town that has a similar facility for my PT. My relationship with my friend is estranged because I believe and see signs she is doing something shady as well. So I have some options to get out...just a matter of time.
But I am writing my 30 day notice now for this apartment. (4 months in) I don't have an official doctor note....but I am CONVINCED the meth usage of my neighbors / maintenance guys is making me sick. I known it's meth because I see their gaunt, grayish acne covered skin, shaking and their fast talking, tweaker insomniac activities outside. Right out my patio door.
Guess I'm just empathic and misled myself ....naieve...whatever.
I'm just concerned about tellign the landlord what I think is happening, without any doctor note of my own. Would I be seen as a poor tenant for ending my lease early? Would a doctor note even help or would they think it just showed I was the user? I don't have time and money (or decent enough insurance) to get extra drug test on my own....should I seek one? What legal options would I have?
What should I list as the reason for the 30 day notice? Personal health issues?
And I'm afraid to snitch on these druggies...they are already demon possessed with their usage. It's obvious. They are humans....just really inconsiderate humans who are harming me. It's gotta stop. And it will stop when I stop spending my money on this unit and get outta dodge.
Need some advice...but mainly just needed to get it out because I'm scared. Can't wait to move into my new (upstairs) apartment in a new town....need help.
Thanks for reading.

This happened under another new account I created just to avoid being flagged, as I did not want to argue about the unfair ban at first 2 years ago and wanted to keep things private in case I need to return more things like they do not work or fit right.
​
But it did not matter yesterday as the lady at register stated they were cracking down on it and I was not only one and there is a lot of people club of people doing it like crazy even far worse. So took that to mean the value threshold was dramatically lowered to be flagged?? 2 years ago in March 2021, I think it may have been lowered
​
​
So I had no choice that if I wanted to return something and did not feel like arguing with them to remove a flag which they will never do (And no they will not allow return even for defective items once a ban in place) and decided 1 year later in March 2022 what if something is defective and I need to return it, I would see if I can just pay cash and not use debit card and not my real name and address (did not want to try telling them I refuse to give that info even though I do not think they can legally ask, so made up fake name and parents and old address and such). I paid cash. There was lots of turnover in staff so nothing in system was flagged and I was able to return a motherboard that had defective USB header.
​
​
So on comes GeForce RTX 4090 video cards and I upgraded system for one for 4K gaming and intend for it to be the last one for a while. However have had so much trouble finding one with quiet to no coil whine and cycled through many though most were not from MicroCenter. Had to sell most and return some to Amazon online places.
​
​
Now MicroCenter gets lots of stock of 4090s. And I have also returned and sold stuff out of return period to try and switch PC components wondering if they have something to do with the coil whine after a test from friend's house with same card proved it likely does. It did not make a difference for me and worse yet mobo on AMD system also had whine so went back to Intel which meant a return to MicroCenter. I had purchased and returned like 3 RTX 4090 video cards from MC telling them they are bad as they all whined badly unfortunately.
​
​
I had heard there were some new MSI Suprim X video cards revision and many were still bad whiners, but like maybe 1 in ever 4 or 5 was quiet per a coil whine thread. at overclockers CO UK forums. So I was hoping I could try a few there and would stop at that under another phone number and name I gave them as I did want to get flagged and had nio idea what threshold is, then would be done if I did not get the right card and just try a foreign brand online and wait to get it ordered.
​
​
However yesterday after lining up to return Asus DDR5 Z790 mobo and DDR5 7200 RAM (yes DDR5 RAM at XMP settings has been nothing but a stability nightmare for me and another try not a charm even with BIOS updates), I went back to DDR4 board and still had an unopened MSI Suprim X 40990 card at home. Then when at register a manager comes by and says I was flagged for too many GPU returns and I could just not return GPUs anymore. Then lady at register whispered it was anything I could not return in reality. I stated well I had a video card unopened and can I return it and they stated no, but well if you bring it back before 9PM closing that can be final return. So not wanting to be stuck with a whiney card in case it was not one of the quiet unicorns, I returned it and will look online.
​
​
This happened under another new account well I suppsoe they created for me as I gave them new phone number and address as I did not want attention drawn to my other alias with too many returns. I also always paid with physical dollar bills and not my debit card in a long while as I did not want them seeing my account. But it did not matter as the lady stated they were cracking down on it and I was not only one and there is a club of tons of people doing it like crazy. So I took that to mean the value threshold was lowered to be flagged or they saw my face or both??? Because I think before it was like $10K but under this new alias just created this month I only returned like $2800 worth of stuff before being flagged yesterday during a return? 2 years ago in March 2021 it was a $10K threshold in 7 months. dating back to August 2020.
​
​
My other other 2 aliases never flagged and not sure threshold of returns, but did not matter as somehow they got linked to my 3rd one with my face or maybe value threshold was lowered and only triggered on 3rd account??
​
​
They told me just make sure you know what you buy you want for sure. as you cannot return anything. I told them well I am not coming back because something could be defective and they said ok that's unfortunate. Then they just said goodbye.
​
​
Now having said all of that, because I told cashiers different names and alias and different address and phone number, would they see that and try and charge me with anything?? They never mentioned anything about it there nor even stated I was banned from the store? But could they see it in future and look at cameras and try and find my face and try and come after me?? Or no that would never happen?? I do not think it is even illegal to use different alias as some people me included are paranoid about giving out their real name and spread things out to keep themselves anonymous from identity theft and such????
​
​
I totally understand the return ban and such and that they have to markdown items to lose money, but do not understand why not a restocking fee instead, but want to make sure it stops there and they do not come after me in any legal way. I imagine they saw me as same person and linked the accounts though not sure why they never mentioned it?? I hope they did not know then find out and oh boy are they going to try and investigate it, or just ban the other accounts that the video cards were purchased from and link them as one in the same for me.
​
​
I was never intending to defraud anyone of anything and their return policy makes it seem so easy and encouraged and unfairly banned me form original account and refused to compromise on restocking fee as it was all or nothing!! Not a big deal as as soon as I find my 4090 whine free online or another place, this system is done and not building again for years and was not going back anyways afterwards. Just wish they would do a restocking fee or had a rent option to try before buy, but no such thing for any computer parts to try and avoid coil whine and such. Best option is the online stores that actually do charger a restocking fee to kind of give a try before you buy option in case the cards do actually have bad coil whine which I have had bad luck with.
​
​
Just want assurance I am safe from being arrested or legal action as long as I do not go back there and try to return anything (well they actually just banned returns but not me from the store) which I think I am as it seems you have a right to return even under different names, but hey I am paranoid!!
​
I would think if they were going to do legal action a security guard would have detained a person at the store and have police come and arrest you but hey I am paranoid especially cause I used a couple different fake names and paid physical dollar bills and no debit/credit card starting March 2022 to get around what was originally an unfair return ban from March 2021. Though created another phone number and alias last month and another one just to avoid attention being drawn. Yes I should not have done it and it was not right, but is it actually illegal or only if they could prove you intended to return things when not allowed which would be almost impossible?? Though in such case people pay in physical cash and if they really wanted to stop it, they could only take credit/debit card which can be tracked to you easily or ask for ID for returns. But they accept cash for anything like almost any brick and mortor building.
​
But hey figure I would ask as I do tend to over worry about things.

I got my BS back in 2020 during the pandemic and I didn’t get any internships.
I have tried the Thinkful bootcamp but because of mental health and financial limitations I did not complete it in time and did not get any job assistance. So I have no ‘real world’ experience but I have a 4 year degree and over 40 repositories on Git Hub. I truly do understand so much about coding but do poorly on interviews and have a weak resume since the work I have been doing since college is unrelated, like serving and tutoring. What can I actually do?
I’ve heard work on open source projects ? Does anyone know any recruiters I can talk to directly or maybe I am better off becoming a recruiter? I am going to be jobless soon and looking for another serving position for the time being but it makes me really upset that I am having a hard time making more that $20/hr I don’t blame anyone but myself I know it’s been a while but I don’t want to give up and I don’t want my degree to be a waste of time, I have a truly fundamental understanding of programming but I’m not the strongest coder, and with consistent practice I do produce pretty good results.
At this point I’ll be someone’s assistant I just am tired of living with my parents and being in debt and never having enough money. I want to move within a year ? ANY ADVICE more than ‘ridicule’ like actual solutions.
I want freedom so bad, I don’t feel free

Hi, unfortunately right before my exams for physics my laptop (matebook E) funded by disabled students allowance (with a warranty and free tech support) has got one half of the screen turned black and sometimes goes all black. I’m trying factory resetting, reinstalling drivers etc but no luck so far.
I need to send it off to the tech support people, they will determine whether it’s hardware or software issue and warranty will cover it if it’s hardware, will fix it and get it back to me as far as I’m aware (pls correct me if I’m wrong).
How long will I likely be waiting for this? I’m really worried and I struggle to function without it. I need to revise for my exams on it, I write on it and store all my work on it.
If it’s going to be a while, does anyone have any advice at all on how to stay organised with books, pens and paper? I’m in the middle of a house move and I’m between places constantly. Don’t have room for folders unfortunately :(

So far, we did not have a lot of success reaching YouTubers via mail, so I'm trying it here; I hope this post does not go against the self-promotion rule.
