they're just sadistic regardless of if they want to get a confession from you or not. i was a teenage runaway from an abusive family home and they stripped me to my boxers and stuck me in a freezing cell the entire day after arresting me for being a "vagrant" before returning me to my abusers. fuck the police and all such "officers".

it's all good! i hope you can come to a good resolution on this. i am an american that wishes he lived in some european countries so i get it. lol

of course. everyone has dreams and i cannot force you to do anything. but you came into a mental health community asking for help and advice with unhealthy fixations that are causing you to be deeply depressed and you are getting offended when we give it to you.

which is fine. becoming defensive is a normal response if you are feeling attacked. no one here is attacking you. we are trying to guide you to finding the help you are looking for

i do see a therapist regularly actually. she's very helpful

please see a therapist

i think your comment here is just a symptom of what I described earlier. you think you are different and belong in a different culture. the american weeaboos that move to Japan feel the same way and feel like they don't belong in American culture. you may disagree and think otherwise but I'm not here to argue with you. you really just need to talk to a therapist about it. it is not healthy to get this depressed about a country, of all things, especially one you are not actually living in. please seek a professional therapist. they can help you get to the bottom of why you are feeling this way and help you form healthier interests and attachments.

it sounds like you have an unhealthy obsession with a fantasy ideal of a country that is unlikely to be real.

this is not uncommon actually. there are many Americans who have this kind of fantasy obsession with Japan for instance, pick up everything and move there and are disappointed with the negative parts of the culture and life there and get very depressed.

funnily enough there is a actual syndrome that is named after japanese people who would get physically sick after visiting Paris and it didn't meet their fantasies about what the city is like and experiencing the quintessential Parisian rudeness towards foreigners: Paris syndrome.

i can't give real mental health advice. you should seek the help of a therapist. just know what you are experiencing is not uncommon and is something you will want to talk about with a therapist.

now I'll feel even less guilty if they get shot

how she explains it is literally how i feel. i always worry someone might be thinking I'm mansplaining when really I'm just nerding out and want to talk about interesting info with a friend

i generally assume good intentions and i hope others give me the same courtesy, even if it has sometimes burned me in the past.

my toaster oven has convection so it's basically also an air fryer

I'll let you know if I hear any news 👍

Clinton was a Democrat which is why they even cared. meanwhile the gop was diddling kids the entire time. they've always been the pedophile party and it was even more of an open secret back then. it was actually a running joke guessing which Republican would be caught diddling kids each month. yet they always rallied and protected their own when allegations came out where as Democrats tended to turn against other Dems if allegations ever came up.
