just pump yourself full of adderall and enjoy your motivation gains.

Nearly every day I plan to immerse for longer than I actually do and I feel like an enormous failure who will never learn japanese every time. Realistically, reading for an hour or two rather than three hours isn't a big deal but it still feels like I'm fucking up massively and will never recover.

But it is.
As proof, I will make a joke about fish oil-kun and finny, thinking that people will understand, when in reality their time has passed and I'm alone with my amphetamines.

Anyone remember the shitpost war about the formatting of the DOJG anki deck?

I remember spamming this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5IPArDxO40 every thread. I wonder if I was inspired by other steve posters or if that's what caused the steve memes in the first place, I can't remember.

Remember when DJT only had one OP image and it was just slightly changed? I posted like 300 of those in a row. I must have been addicted.

Can't you recognize Dewprism, aka Threads of Fate? The ost is god-tier.

The Spice and Wolf OP caught my interest so I took a look around. I don't actually visit DJT anymore - it's been close to two years since I've last been here, aside from being linked here for memes by a friend. When you get really good at JP you can answer pretty much every question people ask here, so staying on DJT is pretty miserable, you've either gotta ignore every question or spend a ton of time answering beginner questions over and over. Not to mention giving sage life advice to people struggling and making mistakes with their learning process.

Also, once you "finish" learning Japanese so to speak, the necessity to center your life around Japanese fades greatly. It's not like I wake up and go "i'm gonna practice JP by reading a full novel today", I just read the novel cause I want to. The fact it's a JP novel is just coincidental. At this point, knowing Japanese is just a part of me and doesn't really directly factor into my decisions. If I wanted to shitpost on DJT all day I would do so without thinking "damn I learned Japanese to do this?", just like you shitpost on DJT without thinking "damn I learned English as a baby to do this?".
