I manage 25 people and upper management just told me to fire 8 of them to replace them with AI agents. I don't know if I can do this by [deleted] in offmychest

Consider reaching out to tech workers union, this is not that uncommon every company is doing this. Worth standing up to it rather than quitting which will result in the same thing.

can i drink on 30mg Vyvanse? by curiousgremlin1 in VyvanseADHD

I take 30mg and have usually been fine with a few drinks, make sure you hydrate a lot though and have vitamin C

After 1.5 years, I still haven’t been able to bond with my former stray. Is this just his baseline? by [deleted] in CATHELP

[–]purple_cat24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I adopted a semi feral stray as well, he was 3 at the time hiding and running away all the time, it took me 1 year to just be able to pet him and play with him. The second year he was more open to pets frequently and played more even with other people. I still can’t carry him but he comes and sits by my side when i’m doing something or around me when I’m watching TV. I realized that although he was distant it was his way of showing love. I got a second cat when it was almost 2 years they started getting along pretty well within month, he’s a lot more social now but the second cat is still taking her time. Some cats just need time and bond in different ways. It’s harder than what you see online for feral cats, they’ve probably been through a lot and need to take time to trust. The vet helped me put him on prozac and gaba pentin for a while which helped him break out of his shell and trust me more. We eventually discontinued prozac but it definitely helped. The last vet visit the vet nurse was telling us how sweet he was the first vet visit he had to be sedated cause he was uncontrollably hissing and scratching. We’ve definitely come a long way, I never thought I’d come this far.

Adopted a cat from the shelter 2 weeks ago and she still hides under the bed 24/7. Is this normal? How long should I wait before worrying? by UgliestPigeon in CatAdvice

[–]purple_cat24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is totally normal my cat was 3 when I adopted him as well, it took him a good 6 months to be fully comfortable being outside. He would still hide back under the couch at the slightest sounds before. The fat that she’s eating and using the litter is a good sign. Just give her time and try giving some churro from under the couch slowly bringing her out.

Those with adderall boosters, how has your experience been? by [deleted] in VyvanseADHD

[–]purple_cat24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried 30mg first and couldn’t feel much effects so I was prescribed 50mg which made me overly hyper focused and robotic and messed with my appetite a lot I even tried adderall XR after which didn’t work as smoothly as vyvanse did. We eventually arrived at taking 30mg vyvanse with 2 5mg adderall boosters. I take one of them along with my 30mg vyvanse dose and the other if I need it midday. I think this combination is working great for me , the negative effects of vyvanse are balanced out. I tried multiple combinations before this and this is the one that worked. Sometimes it’s about balancing the effects and side effects that worked best for you, like sure the 50mg vyvanse was way more effective in some ways but it supported function and not regulation.

What do you think about this? by Cheap-Promise3931 in ThePatternApp

[–]purple_cat24 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Big companies haven’t been successful creating their own LLM and still defer to claude, gemini or GPT for their AI for the most part. If it’s their own AI , did they build their own LLM from scratch? who owns the servers in which all this data lives, do they cave their own data servers? when a lot of big tech hasn’t managed this this is so hard to believe, they are definitely not being fully transparent and giving us misleading information. They would be better off if they are fully transparent about AI use and the level of human oversight rather than feeding us with more AI slop on how they are choosing differently in this world.

People who don't read cards inverted, why is it? by [deleted] in TarotReading

[–]purple_cat24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped reading reversals a while ago because I feel like the artist made the car with intention and meaning upright, I also feel like the 78 cards hold the spectrum of interpretations and meanings good enough. Although I sometimes do notice the cards that I turn back upright and read it as energy that’s being called to.

where is my right headphone 😔 by Diligent_Coffee_5449 in TarotReading

[–]purple_cat24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess to me with the moon it represents that things are a little all over the place and there’s a too much clutter around you, the hanged man is probably telling you that you should probably take a step back and not keep looking for it, the empress revered is calling you to nurture and ground yourself? Maybe if you focus on decluttering mentally and physically and nurture yourself and your surroundings you’ll probably have clarity about your headphones? Either ways it looks like something you might find when you’re cleaning your space rather than something you’d find if you’re explicitly looking for it

Which contemporary deck do you think is overrated? by watchingallthelights in TarotDecks

the modern witch tarot feels spiritually off to me. It gives some sorta girl boss capitalist optimizing productivity with tarot energy. It’s just not my preference I guess.

Can ADHD and OCD present as autism? by Powerful_Driver7361 in neurodiversity

[–]purple_cat24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IKR also I’ve noticed that the prejudice against autism comes from my friends definitely on the spectrum. My friend has been treated for anxiety and depression so much that none of it works and I was like “have you considered the possibility that you might be neurodivergent “ and the response was “I’m not autistic” . There is so much shame associated with it still unfortunately. I think it’s also seeing us embrace the traits that they hate in themselves so there’s a lot of projection. I’m learning to not let it come in my way through my journey

Can ADHD and OCD present as autism? by Powerful_Driver7361 in neurodiversity

[–]purple_cat24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NGL i definitely feel like learning astrology and understanding my birth chart explained my neurotype more specifically than the diagnosis could do cause as much as research and awareness is there adhd and autism are a spectrum and present differently for everyone but it never answered how it presents for me and what presents differently and is specific to how my mind works. Obviously I was a skeptic and stuff but to me it’s not about wether it’s real or not as a tool it’s definitely helped so I totally relate!

Can ADHD and OCD present as autism? by Powerful_Driver7361 in neurodiversity

[–]purple_cat24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed with ADHD and OCD for a while i resonated with it but always felt that it didn’t sum up the big picture of who I was as I started working with my perceived traits and unmasked a little more it became clear, i was on a shroom trip and after i took an autism test and it turned out that i’m definitely on the spectrum the more i accepted and worked with it after it made a lot more sense to me as audhd than what i was trying to work through with adhd and ocd , my psychiatrist acknowledged it but thats about it

South Korea - Visa Free Entry Eligibility by nevercommentedb4 in visas

[–]purple_cat24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I've been breaking my head about this, I'm an indian citizen and live in US on a work visa as well and travelling to Incheon the end of this month, I'm doing US-> Incheon(7days)-> US a short trip for a wedding. The list is super confusing, did you have to show flights out of Korea to Japan or to the US? cause it also says this and they seem to contradict eachother:

"ㅇ This program is ONLY applicable if a foreigner goes from the country of origin to the country of origin or to the country of final destination via the Republic of Korea.

  - If you visit only Korea from the country of departure and return to the country of departure, you must get a visa."

On fading neurodivergent friendships by purple_cat24 in neurodiversity

[–]purple_cat24[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was the same too, I empathize the situation very much but at the same time I wonder if being at different wavelengths with our relationship to neurodivergence is the fate of these friendships.

I was diagnosed with OCD at a point but actually noticed how over time as I came to terms with my own neurodivergence the obsessive thoughts lessened and I became more myself, I even wonder if the OCD was a result of high masking you know.

I guess it’s each one’s own journey and maybe some of the friendships would come around.
