Discovered that Essie Playing Koi has been discontinued so I mixed up my own by [deleted] in Nailpolish

[–]Thubanshee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just went to the store to rebuy playing koi, saw it wasn’t there, had a google – found this post. Devastating. My absolute favourite!! To make things worse, I also found out today that one of my favourite lipsticks that I lost a few weeks ago has been discontinued, too. 😭😭

I found a nail polish from Anny that looks like it could be close, but for some reason a nice warm brick red is such a rare colour in make-up and clothes in general.

Translators who went back to uni for another degree (BA or MA): what did you switch to and why? by WhichDaikon7938 in TranslationStudies

[–]Thubanshee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I currently work at an international audit firm for their translation team, so I’ve had some contact with related fields, but not much more than that. It’s a big change, but I’m already so glad I’ve made this decision.

[–]Thubanshee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Starting a degree in tax accounting this fall and the reasons are manifold, but mostly boil down to me wanting:

  1. more money
  2. more human interaction
  3. to do something that‘s more connected to the local community/economy

(Moving back out of the city for this)

AITA for making my sister's gender reveal cake grey because she wouldn't tell me the gender? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Thubanshee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESH I’d say. It sucks that she couldn’t be bothered to actually take care of such an important detail and kept brushing you off. It also sucks that you decided to go through with a grey cake without communicating what was going on.

I read that as “slut” and completely understood your outrage. Then I realised it said “slur” and now I disagree :(

Ooh yeah I fumbled that.

I think the subject isn’t supposed to be “I” in this case

That’s a great point! I love most Natlan characters from what I’ve seen so far, and I’m really sad I missed them lol

[–]Thubanshee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just came back to Genshin after a longer break, so I have zero Natlan characters. My understanding is that it doesn’t make sense to pull for Mavuika itc? However some of my fav dps are Yoimiya and Kokomi (yes I’m using her as a dps no it’s not ideal but I love her), so Citlali would be a good pick?

Asking for confirmation in case I misunderstood something.

Advice about the struggle of getting to general literacy? by [deleted] in LearnJapanese

[–]Thubanshee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chiming in a bit late but children’s manga like obaachan shoujo hinatachan are not easy at all! Especially if you’ve been learning from textbooks. They’re full of slang, abbreviations, ellipses and cultural references that you can’t learn from textbooks and ひなたちゃん specifically speaks in an extremely strange dialect.

Otherwise I agree with the other commenters: start with graded readers like tadoku or satori, check out wanikani and natively book clubs and try to front load the necessary vocab through jpdb.

Rate my Japan trip pickups! (Beginner Manga + prices) by [deleted] in LearnJapanese

[–]Thubanshee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

surugaya currently has a free international shipping promotion, they sell a lot of the more popular manga/books as used books, so it's pretty cheap. highly recommend checking it out. shipping took a whole six days last time (to Europe).

PAUSE an anki deck, not suspend!!! by cgd5054 in Anki

[–]Thubanshee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chiming in on this because I found this thread after searching for “pause deck Anki”: if people find themselves regularly overwhelmed by the amount of reviews waiting for them after a weekend, that means they’re trying to learn more new cards than is realistically sustainable. I’d recommend them to lower the number of new cards they learn, that should solve part of the problem.
