I mean, even if you have the internet: time passes differently across the world, so that is something nobody can really change but keep in mind when talking to others internationally. For example: American boyfriend attempts to speak to Japanese girlfriend living in Japan but she is 16 hours ahead of where he lives in Los Angeles (USA) while she resides in Osaka (Japan).

Like this: it’s 2PM (on a Friday afternoon) where she lives and video calls him but it’s 10PM on a Thursday night, and he’s heading for bed: “Sorry, I have to work tomorrow.” He retorts, despite their long distance relationship, why can’t they speak to each other at the exact same time. It could be reverse: she receives a DM from him at 3AM (Today) while it’s 11AM (Yesterday).
