This kinda thing doesn’t turn on over night. You might be able to afford private, but very few will be able to. The American paid system has a 3-9 month wait for doctor visits right now in Tucson. My doctor also doesn’t even physically examine me anymore because they’re so rushed to get in other patients, because capitalism.

Edit: not that capitalism is evil, it just has no place in healthcare.

That was my biggest culture shock. I expected never ending cities and suburbs like in New England.

9070 XT has been great for me so far in Fedora 👌🏽. I couldn’t justify the extra 500$ for a 5080 for better ray tracing.

A beta release that is absolutely littered with bugs. I wouldn’t be surprised if they did it because they broke something, or just straight up the Asahi bootloader needs to be updated.

It’s got a gigantic snowbird population because it’s the warmest city in the US in the winter, plus it doesn’t rain. It’s super cheap, and only a few hours to San Diego. Americans go there too for medical tourism, especially seniors. San Luis, MX is known as being relatively very safe for tourists.

Mon putain ami québécois 👍🏽

My top of the line, no compromises PC built in 2016 benchmarks lower than my iPhone 15 Pro. If you’re keeping your PC that long for gaming, you’re insane.

Since I see this come up a lot, I will say that this part is changing. Not everywhere and it's still delicate, but it's not like it used to be.

I’m so glad, because it kills me to see Japan go so far downhill socially and economically. Tokyo should be the NYC of the far east.

Nissan/Honda/Toyota/Subaru have the worst EVs on the market. They learned nothing lol.

Bad screens, tiny screens, bad software, uncompetitive range, bad interior, zero competitive features above the competition.

Japan is an insular society that discourages talking out against your superiors in the work environment, so this was bound to happen in the days of the aging-out boomers holding onto leadership positions. With the head start that Japan had, they should’ve produced a 1:1 Tesla in 5 years, but they didn’t. It’s been 15 years since the best cars hit the market, and now China leapfrogged Tesla to be the best like Japan did to American car makers 40 years ago.

All of this was made possible by Chinese government cash infusions and social programs to invest in car manufacturing/ecosystems. The west did that in 2010, but let the companies spend the money how they wanted (the top executives were allowed to get away with embezzling all of it. surprise!) with no stipulations, and that’s how we got to where we are today.

Why the fuck does children things have to have such grotesque cartoon faces on everything?
