That was my understanding. I was told one of the reason for growth in apps like Whatsapp outside the US was that data was cheaper than texting (probably just per message cost).

I suspect there might be ghosts with more baby than Beetlejuice.
I was in vacation in Japan. We ended our trip in Tokyo because my partner and I are into gaming and I knew we’d buy stuff. One thing we bought was bigger and a bit of a hassle to pack. I wondered how much it would have been if I had bought it online and shipped it. Turns out I lot of the newer stuff we bought we could have bought from Amazon Japan and shipped directly home for a reasonable rate (probably less than the cost of the overpriced duffle bag we bought).
Do you have any recommendations of who to trust? I’m in a good place in my career but mostly do everything myself. It’s very basic stuff but I think I could be doing better. I just don’t know what the next step is.
Maybe this isn’t a hobby but just hanging out. Video games, movies, road trips, or any type of activity without it being a big deal. No agenda or expectations. Just being social. I miss that from my younger years. Now everyone is busy, tired, and getting together takes a lot of prep.
Right now it’s smart to cycle through but I wouldn’t be surprised if that is the next thing to go.
What I could see happening is they keep raising monthly prices until the math doesn’t work out of them. Then they’ll introduce a small discount for locking in multiple months (3,6,12mon). Both will continue to rise in price but month to month will be quicker.
I assumed the joke was that as you get older things are just more stiff and you don’t recover as fast. Yeah, it can be reduced with more exercise/activity but you’re still getting older.
There was an event where this became apparent for me. I played softball for years in my 20s. Stopped for a bit and returned in my 30s. I was actually in better shape when I returned. One day mid-season, I was rounding first base, not even particularly fast, and I felt something tweek. By the end of the day I was stuck on the couch and could barely move. I had to take the next day off.
