Is it?

I live here and I don't feel like I've seen that much of that

I'm not sure I'd ever trust a law firm that had blog articles attacking their clients, even if they WERE right.

There's pragmatic in the "how can we address this issue, has this been thought of?" And negative "this has this issue".

Well part would be "can they prove you worked on it during paid working hours?"

If it is all on your own machine, and you don't have like...a git history that includes times durkng work, then they won't have much there.

Japanese overall are some of the kindest, most polite people you’ll encounter.

Most people just say Polite.

It's not as much a warm kindness, as much as a polite presentation.

Definitely driving can be stressful in many places.

Here in Dubai it's legit scary sometimes. Like every trip has a close call.

Where I originated from driving was carefree and pretty fun.

Not NEEDING a car is more the benefit I'd like to have. More options is good.

The major us carriers have them.

But they are expensive (or throttled like t mobile is).

So it might be some "pick your poison".

Maybe even just a cheap global like TMobile or even Google Fi (they will eventually shut off your international data but it will still do phone and text good for bank 2fa) as a consistent one and then get local stuff.

In a lot of the world mobile internet is very cheap, even with tourist sims.

Almost everywhere will be cheaper than the US.

Not sure how I PRESENT but I don't describe myself as that.

The conversation doesn't actually come up much, even when I was much more socially involved with locals.

If work comes up, I just say I make software.

If they specifically end up asking about being a digital nomad, I say sure.

Yeah, I've never had any awful experiences, lies, etc.

Just a kind of general "not quite as nice as depicted" or "it's not great, but also it is what the ad said and it's cheap"

No the network effect is what makes it difficult, the first mover advantage is what makes it near impossible for a competitor to compete, here.

If there's nothing, the platform can start to exist without strong network and grow.

But if there is a paltform with the network, why would anyone use a different network?
