A bit hard to avoid when they play it in the theater. I mean I guess you can stand outside the theater and periodically poke your head in to try to guess if trailers are over.
I'll consider myself lucky that the worst I've had to deal with was a 8K LOC C file that implemented image processing for a cancer detection algorithm. Nothing terribly tricky but just poorly organized. Almost no documentation at all. The only test was running this code against a data set of patient images and eyeballing the output. No version control other than cloning the project onto their NAS and naming it "v2" etc.
It would be pretty devastating, but I'd at least have my memories of music and the ability to feel vibrations. I think I could still get some enjoyment out of playing drums. But it would definitely suck.
I'm on a strong streak with my Japanese self study. Been going for over a year and I'm somewhere around N4-N3 level. It's very rewarding to understand long conversations, but it also feels like progress is slow. My grammar is pretty good now, but learning vocabulary and kanji is like a Sysyphian quest.
I'd say I usually get in at least 30 minutes of listening practice every day. I'm still not speaking much, but I think this is OK. I've heard VR chat is a good resource for that, but the timezone mismatch makes it pretty hard.
Overall I recommend immersion based study with a strong emphasis on input (listening + reading) before doing much output. Duolingo is a waste of time if you're serious about approaching fluency. I've never seen a single comprehensive product that actually works for learning Japanese. You have to consume native materials, and there are some good tools that make it easier, but you need to be a bit savvy to stitch them all together into a cohesive workflow.
A semicolon is like a comma or colon in that it clarifies the proceeding part of the sentence, and is a complete sentence itself.
This shouldn't have a comma because it has a compound predicate. The subject of the sentence is "a semicolon", and it participates in two predicates: "it clarifies" and "is a complete sentence".
Your sentence is also logically incorrect because a semicolon neither clarifies nor is a complete sentence.
The proper explanation is: a semicolon separates two closely related independent clauses.

That is just way too subtle.
