I've started reading 3秒決断 as a way to help foster my interest in reading more in Japanese and to sort of get my brain used to reading more longer Japanese passages ahead of N1 in December.
While I don't agree with all the ideas presented in the book, and I do find the arguments made to be decent.

The signs all day have been intense.
A moment of possible clarity.
And then, sheer evidence.

I was visited by my grandmother Monday night. She sat in the corner for about 30 minutes and watched me. I could feel her gaze and smell her. It's been 18 years since she passed in December, and again, she has visited me the week of her birthday. Usually it's twice a year. See you in December, Tata.

I was invited to a baseball game today and I politely declined.
I would rather catch a cold than sit through one of the most boring sports in the world.

#Trello updated its UI and somehow it became even uglier and harder to find menu items when needed. Why are we paying for this service?? I think it's time to suggest we change over to something else and dump this trash.

Me: warns client that using word "x" in English will inevitably link them to porn. (Major event with millions hearing about it outside of Japan)
Client: It'll be okay. We like it our way.
Google today: The event you are referring to is part of x and also refers to pornography, including shibari.

Help one person on reddit with a question, and then get three... Special something's commenting negatively and super condescendingly. Sorry? I guess? Can't help you?
"I simply don't view cheese as a necessity."
Ok, edgelord. Keep it moving then, sister. This comment wasn't for you.

#Wise is garbage for sending money to Japan due to their atrocious customer service.
#Revolut is just as bad because they only exist to make you wait while they verify to come back and say "whoops sorry. Didn't work. Try again."
I just want a decent service for sending USD to Japan. 🙃🙃🙃

I could write essays on how deeply moving this game was, but I'll just make it simple:
I haven't played a game with a more profound, moving, and captivating story since Persona 4. #ClairObscur truly is one of the greatest games I've ever played. The soundtrack has to be one of the greatest.

Studying #Norwegian and I noted that "leser" is "to read" in bokmål. That suuuure does look like "leer" en espanyeol.
Also, idk but I like the sentence structure of "Jeg hører ofte på musikk"
This stuff is kinda easy to pick up. I think I might put a whole foot into this pool if I keep going.

I've reached the "oops, I've caught up on everything and am ahead at work" stage of the week. Anything I do after about 4 today just gets me ahead for next week. 🤔
Or do I want to work on something else tomorrow? 🤔🤔🤔
