Boiled?! I’m not made of money.

When I was last in Japan, I basically lived out of konbinis. I mean, I also ate at restaurants all the time because it was so cheap compared to Australia, but for everything else, why bother cooking in my tiny-ass apartment when I can walk a few minutes and get a full, fresh meal AND some decent sake for less than a single dinner back home? They’re fantastic. Plus they all had ATMs that could use to get more cash out.

Also, when my flight home was delayed by a typhoon, I was able to eat full meals for a few days on just thirty bucks from the konbinis in the airport. No price gouging. Back home that would have gotten me a shitty sandwich at best.

Been trying to remember if there’s an episode of a podcast I listen to that dealt with this (the modern mann, named for the host, it’s not male-focused, there’s a segment where Alix Fox talks about sex-related questions), and I think there’s a couple that are related but not precisely.

Communication is definitely one of the things I know have been brought up as very important. Setting expectations and boundaries.

This may be one of those topics I think you might have to browse reddit to get a lot of experienced/detailed answers for - /r/EthicalNonMonogamy would be the place to search, probably.

Play some co-op games with a friend. Maybe some helldivers 2 and darktide! Been a while and a new update is out for that. Good to give it a try before dawntrail consumes my every waking moment.
