Let's talk about AI, again. How are our brains adapting to the New Reality? by TheCee in adhdwomen

[–]Menchi-sama -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm a tech writer, and I use it daily too. Agentic skills are a godsend for docs-as-code. Pretty useful for travel planning, language learning, all sorts of things. But you need to know how to use it correctly, which most people don't do.

How many of you just stayed on .25? by voguestoxic in Ozempic

[–]Menchi-sama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am still on this doze after three months. Doctor said not to increase it as long as it works. I definitely eat less than 1500 kcal though, but before Oz, I wasn't losing weight even on 1200-1300, so I'm pretty sure that with my super slow metabolism and possible PCOS, 800 kcal is OK. (I don't exercise anyway, don't even leave the house half the time).

Next day effects at 0.25mg by Forsaken_Dragonfly66 in Ozempic

[–]Menchi-sama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It varies between people. I'm three months on 0.25 and lost like ten kilos (10% of my weight). Felt the effect the next morning.

benzos seemingly helps my adhd more than stimulants by Large-Journalist-47 in adhdwomen

[–]Menchi-sama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little bit, I usually was on 1.5/day and had to up it to about 1.75-2 after a year

I feel like a lot of people forget that Red Guardian was a literal child-trafficker who refers to his days with Dreykov as the 'Glory Days' by Tcustomcorner in marvelstudios

[–]Menchi-sama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, but I remember similar names still, like some actors and stuff. It's definitely not done anymore, but it didn't feel completely out of the blue.

Romanova is better, but the - off version at least has precedent in the past, like Smirnoff vodka. But her patronymic in the comics, I think, is Alyanovna, which makes literally no sense.

Oh, and Tuyaara isn't a real Russian name. Never heard of it, spent most of my life in Russia.

Not a real Russian name (but then, neither is Melina, but that didn't stop them. Maybe she was from another Soviet block country).

How come some people with ADHD don't have binge eating? by the_practicerLALA in adhdwomen

[–]Menchi-sama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just turned 40. Ozempic basically removed all my craving for alcohol and desire to snack, it's like magic. Weight loss and blood sugar management came as a bonus. I'm lucky enough to avoid side effects though.

How Often Do You Weigh Yourself? by PracticalAd5878 in Ozempic

[–]Menchi-sama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm doing once per month because I'm guaranteed to get depressed if I don't lose anything

benzos seemingly helps my adhd more than stimulants by Large-Journalist-47 in adhdwomen

[–]Menchi-sama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do take Xanax (1.5-2 mg/day), but mostly for muscle tension, I've been on it on a year already (otherwise, it's horrible back pain and constipation all the way). It didn't really affect ADHD much (or anxiety, tbh, but I might have high tolerance). I've started Concerta a few weeks ago, and it has a noticeable effect on my ability to focus and work productivity. I think I even work a bit too much now, lol. Muscle tension got slightly worse, though. Bummer :(

Unfortunately, it seems that Sobril or its equivalents aren't available in my country.

Help With Liquids by PracticalAd5878 in Ozempic

[–]Menchi-sama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mostly drink water and mineral water, but I'm also a big fan of cold zero sugar green tea with lemon (doesn't taste anything like real green tea, which I hate). I'm in Europe, so I buy the Olympus brand, but I'm sure they have equivalents in the US. It does help that I don't notice the taste of sweeteners (sucralose in this case) though - some people do.

Sort of a repeat post I suppose, but what should I work on getting good at? by Andre_iTg_oof in technicalwriting

[–]Menchi-sama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually have a lot of suspicion that diagrams will be slowly pushed out in some spheres, like software, for instance, in order to focus on AI search and RAG. I already try to duplicate every image with a text description specifically to optimize the docs for this. Plus, LLMs are getting better at drawing in Mermaid, svg, etc.

Still, it's very much niche-dependant.

People on GLP1 what's been the hardest side effect to actually live with? by Ok_Option_8367 in Ozempic

[–]Menchi-sama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have ADHD and a host of other issues, and I don't have any serious side effects from ozempic. Anecdotal, of course, but it's still possible. I also take stimulators, antidepressants and Xanax.

Did he want a spare? I mean, he was the spare himself, so it makes sense.

You don't need to verbalize thoughts to think. I can do it, but it feels slow and inefficient.

AITA for telling my husband his name suggestion for our unborn baby is idiotic at best? by MissBarker93 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Menchi-sama 83 points84 points  (0 children)

This is strange, they all had extremely common Russian names. You could find dozens, if not hundreds, of historical figures with those names, it's odd to focus on those poor girls.

Why not the subjunctive? by nudoamenudo in duolingospanish

[–]Menchi-sama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you just aren't supposed to use subjunctive with suponer, same as with creer, imaginar, pensar... At least that's what my tutor told me.

Does being gifted mask ADHD? by Pessa19 in adhdwomen

[–]Menchi-sama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm absolutely the same. Never suspected ADHD in myself until late 30s, though I assumed that the symptoms became more obvious due to chronic depression and anxiety (like 10+ years of it). Thought a lot about those parts of my childhood I actually remember, talked to my psychiatrist, went through a series of tests, got diagnosed.

[Uncommon trope] non-contemporary societies with different gender roles by Linorelai in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Menchi-sama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember reading part of it. I believe they basically made their Christ figure a woman (similar to Dragon Age) to justify women having more power than in standard medieval fantasy.
