Went to doctor in #Japan as resident for first time today. No appointment needed. Went to see specialist dermatologist. 40m wait. 30m appointment. 1100¥ for visit and 560¥ for prescription medication.
The US has no fucking clue what they are missing.

What's that? I now remember my late mom talking about me having an allergic reaction to laundry detergent and that's why she insisted I always use a specific kind of Tide?
Only took moving to Japan and getting a full body rash to jog my memory and then confirm with older brother.

Getting a new phone setup in Japan is night and day vs US
US - Going into store. Wait in line for 30m for one of maybe 2 employees to help you. Told to call support for any asks.
Japan - 20+ people there to help. Instantly seated and helped. Handle everything even proactively updating address.

ChatGPT literally just made up 6 desserts and prices for them for a menu. Nicole was confused because there were just 3 on the actual menu and it gave me 6.
Looking at the picture I took, it didn't even have the desserts in the photo. Just the header.

Finally got assist and was able to move @xbox.com GamePass to subscribing in Japan just in time for 50% price increase.
But Microsoft Amazon store still selling them at 1450¥ per month. Stocked up to 3 years worth at old price and fully redeemed.

Prime example of Trumps tariffs fucking the US even for products designed and developed by a startup in the US.
The Seattle Ultrasonics knife could be providing jobs for US delivery companies, truck drivers, package handlers, shipping ports & dock workers.
Instead, Canada is getting the jobs.

Feeling sorry for a Line user today.
I was finally able to setup a Line account with my Japanese phone number. Line accounts are tied to your phone number.
It said an account already existed. I had to delete their account to create mine. Even if they added an email, recovery requires phone.

They could have done something like this in the Trump immunity case and given a chance for the special counsel to take Trump's federal election subversion charges to trial.

I want to do a 🧵 about the Sidney Sweeney thing, because it's *extremely* revealing & educational.
First, to be clear: I could not give less of a shit about the details -- the ad, the rhetoric, the jeans, her boobs, whatever. Good lord, who cares.
Let's look at the *structure* of the episode.
