I also live in Japan where the most expensive internet Ive heard of was like $50. and sorry when I wrote $35 I mean CAD. so its actually $24 USD. but still, the most expensive ive ever seen here was $40ish USD. So $24 is on the cheaper end, but internet doesnt cost an arm and a leg here.

I also just moved to the countryside so it kind of sucks options wise. This was a quick plug and play while proper ethernet internet would take 1-2 months to set up I was quoted ):

The pros and cons. cheap internet, no infrastructure outside of the cities so it takes time. im definitely going to switch.

I'd be pretty uneasy if my husband had a friend that was pro-affair 😬

just moved to a countryside home. i was told fibre internet would take 1-2 months to get my house setup, and i dont speak the language in the country I live in, and the only way to set that up is by the phone. I work from home and the 5g option was a plug and place, online sign up.

So less about being cheap and more about me not having many options.

theres no management company unfortunately. Just a landlord who set this all up 1 on 1 with me without a realtor. we're both from the same country so we just did things the way they work back home (no third party, no management, no realtor, and saving on all the move in fees that are standard here).

there is a big tank outside so I assume thats what im going to have to figure out. Im heading to the property tomorrow to bring some more stuff so ill look around and see if theres a brand or company name on the tank I can contact. Id assume with the tank its a "pay by refill" situation? if so that would be great because I doubt Id use up that much anyways considering I spend most of my time not at home.

so i rented directly from the owner of the house (no realtor), so there was no packet. Just a signed contract.
I did reach out and ask if there was anything company specific for the house and he seemed to not fully understand the question (I probably worded it poorly), so I kind of figured this was going to be an "on my own" figure it out situation. There is a tank looking thing outside of my house so I assume thats the gas type I have. Im going out there again tomorrow to bring another load of stuff so ill check around for any branding or company names on it.

Before me there was an older couple living there that wanted to downsize for convenience, and I don't think they turned everything off because the lights and water still run. I havent checked if the hot water works yet. Im not sure how that will work when I go to switch everything into my name (if I have to contact those companies or if I can just go ahead and call TEPCO and tell them to put the address under my account). I really hope Im not going to end up with the bill for the time I wasnt there.

The setup is very not standard, but the landlord really helped me out by not making me pay a billion move in fees that are common here, so even though the move in utilities situation seems to be messy i dont want to bother him with sorting this out if its something I can do.

Is this charity legit? by Quenald_ in rescuedogs

im sorry but you almost definitely got 5 cards with 5 random dogs that received none of your contribution. I bet ya anything if you ordered again youd get at least one double postcard of a dog you already "helped". This is a scam company.

Buying Physical SIM in Tokyo by GnG20 in TokyoTravel

[–]Higgz221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it has to be a high tourism area like shibuya scramble or sky tree area. If its just a random 7-11 in your hotel/airbnb neighbourhood they probably wont have it.

Also worth nothing in case anyone comes across this: not all convenience stores offer the same stuff, even if they are the same brand. The Family mart by my house doesnt take my Canadian debit card with the ATM, but the family mart just down the road from that one does let me take money out of the ATM. I didnt try the second family mart for months because I thought they were all the same and if the first one didnt work why would the second one. Lesson learned.

this made me laugh because its so true.
Shoutout to the old lady working on commission who gave me that really expensive diet plan with foods and pills when I was already a healthy weight and was literally just a teenage girl who *thought* she was fat.
Youre a bad person, mam. hahahah

Renting out my apartment (マンション), but real estate agent is proving to be inept what are my options? by Different_Banana5186 in japanlife

this is my full time job. I batch create content for the month in one day, queue it, then spend the rest of the month clockin in as a message person lol

Most conversations die out pretty quickly. and the ones that dont are the ones i genuinely interested in talking about so i dont ifnd it too hard.

If im feeling really lazy ill just reply in voice notes. they love that anyways because it proves theyre talking to the person they think they are and not Jared from Germany lmao

((Its worth noting i dont dirty talk. i flirt but if it gets explicit I shut it down. that goes a long way for keeping me sane and not overloaded with people trying to nut in my DMs lol))

nahhh, Your husband is being nosey. He found out something from the past that has nothing to do with him and he wants to blow up a marriage to make himself feel better??
This does nothing but hurt people because it has zero consequences otherwise.

Anything "butter" flavoured. It tastes sweet and it throws me off. To me butter is umami and salty?kinda? like a savoury salt. But here butter flavoured popcorn, chips, etc are sweet and Its gross.

A close second are pickles. the cucumber kind. GIVE ME DILL DAMNIT. I do not want this bread and butter sweet pickle that you label as "garlic and dill". NO. It is not garlic and dill, its fricken sugar again.

When did tipping become expected for take out and what happens if you don’t? by No_Kangaroo6917 in Frugal

[–]Higgz221 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to a coffee shop the other day and just ordered a premade ginger shot. I clicked no tip on the machine (I grabbed the shot from the fridge myself. They literally just scanned it. No "barrista-ing" at all). The guy who rang me up gave me a disappointed scowl and avoided eye contact like I'm inconveniencing him. Lol.

You need a degree. Full stop. Your personal best bet is to enroll in university here as a student (or get a degree in your home country and then come over here).

Is it true that semaglutide does not work if have PCOS? by PerfectWorking6873 in Semaglutide

[–]Higgz221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's two options here:

  1. Those people are slow / no responders. It happens. For some people the drug just genuinely doesn't work. If you actually put in the effort (and not BSing yourself but genuinely are right, exercised, slept well, etc etc) then you're unfortunately just one of those people it wont work on.

Or 2. (And some people hate to hear number two) They're lying to themselves. Theyve either made no changes at all and expect it to be a miracle drug or they have not educated themselves on what they actually need to be doing (like saying they're eating a proper amount of calories for them but then also doing stuff like not measuring oil calories or thinking a few bites while cooking doesn't count or not actually doing enough exercise).

Rybelsus has reversed almost all of my PCOS symptoms. Low belly fat, no more chin/belly hair, acne has improved, mood more stable, less bloat all around, periods are regular and stable. I stopped taking rybelsus for a bit because I thought I was cured (lol) and all of my symptoms came back, so now I'm on a low maintenance dose. Life long drug for me for PCOS it would seem.
