Venting Sometimes I wish I were American [SN Rant]

[Ame]

Imagine having to seriously consider traipsing around the dank web in order to obtain something that an American could easily purchase from a big box store or have shipped directly to their door (with same day shipping too depending on how close one lives to a fulfillment centre). There are people who would probably kill for the opportunity to live in my country but I am not feeling particularly grateful for that at the moment. I would be paying the bill to cover for the means for my exit and would be saving the state mountains of cash ha ha, so please;;

Hey,

I remember you. I was hoping you recovered. Wish you luck in whatever decision you make.

Im living in Turkey. Buying SN online is only good thing about here. I ordered it today and waiting for shipping.

If you're wishing why not wish to be in a country where Euthanasia is legal?

 

[NeverGoodEnuff]

If you were American (as in USA), just think...you could choose to vote for people like Biden or Trump!

Arsenic or cyanid?

I wish I was american (or in america) to get a gun, but understand the feeling.

Same! I've decided to go to the states (2hr drive) and get it so now I'm just waiting for the travel restrictions to lessen

@Esc9434 I recognized your name when I saw the notification. I hope that you are doing alright, or at least as well as one frequenting a place like this can be. It is a rather long story, but a part of it is that I decided to take a risk and tried to recover. Recent developments in my life have brought me back sadly. Thank you for the well wishes though. I really appreciate them.

@Oozzy I don't mean to be ungrateful because I do acknowledge that I am very lucky to live where I do. I'm just frustrated because I am feeling trapped ha ha. I hope that I don't sound insensitive due to my privilege, but I had always wanted to visit that Tombili statue in Istanbul. I'm sorry that you have been suffering. Please be gentle with yourself.

@Loser47 The funny thing is that I do live in one of those countries where euthanasia is legal. I think that a common misconception is that accessing these services is a smooth and clear cut process, but in many cases it is not. More often than not, being granted assistance in dying is a painfully drawn out process that is riddled with red tape. With the pandemic, it has become even more complicated.

@NeverGoodEnuff Ha ha, yes, I don't think that voting in previous election was all that enviable. I guess that if I had to choose, I would go with cyanide - full Alan Turing style, apple and all.

@CivilizationV I'm sorry that you can relate. I really am. Hopefully you won't have to resort to such a violent death. Please take good care okay?

@ashedout To be so desperate means that you are in a lot of pain and I'm sorry. I resonate with your frustrations though. I cannot even be sure how mobility between countries will work out in the year of "2020 New Game +".
