    Oh believe me I have tried, getting a used one in good condition, no chipped, here (SA) with working controllers is extremely hard. Forget mint, that’s impossible.

    Also the games are all scratched for some reason and tend to not read sometimes

    The memory cards, those are the easiest to solve but the rest is a problem

    About the NGC controller on switch, yeah I was aware as well, but haven’t really needed it, i want it mostly to play NGC games. The switch controllers are really good for the switch games so I haven’t suffered on that front

    I don’t see a fatness certificate detailing BFI.

    There are people like these today that are sodium intolerant, and their body retains gigantic amounts of water just to deal with that.

    I’m talking people that are way, WAY above the average sodium consumption of 2300 milligrams daily.

    They don’t know they are intolerant and gain abrupt amounts of weight ( 30 lbs or more in days ) just due to water retention

    These are people whose maximum sodium intake should be less than 500-50 milligrams daily

    Imagine what that much salt makes to a body

    Man the main problem is that most people understand that traveling abroad with a passport is no guarantee of getting a job abroad.

    Even if you travel and you have a remote job, there is no guarantee that your cost of living is gonna go down. Countries change.

    Also there is the pesky fact that to be able to work as a vacation stay while being inside another country, you usually need a visa.

    Try Panama for example. You can work remotely in there, all good. But you will have to pay for everything in cash because you can’t use the ATMs up to certain limits of withdrawals.

    Try western union? Good, a chunk of your money is just gone, and that’s if they don’t catch you transferring money to yourself. They are not a Bank.

    Try crypto? That’s good too, comes with the expected baggage of taking security on yourself, not the bank. And certainly not “easy” true the standard person who never traveled

    Even credit cards have limited use as you need to leave a travel warning to the card. Maybe you renew it, maybe not, but after a time suspicious activity starts to pile up from outside your billing country

    Pay rent? In cash. Sure there are landlords that will accommodate for that (for a higher price and good luck complaining about anything. To who?) but most will be subject to taxes on the property and to get discounts on those they need to make a digital invoice for you.

    Rent is not cheap in there. Food is cheap but it is getting near international prices since a few years ago

    And forget about all the luxuries you have in the usa while living in there.

    Someone assaults you or you get robbed or into an incident, car crash, your personals stolen? Forget the cops.

    Health? All paid. Not cheap and certainly not easily accessible.

    Also insurance. If you are identified as an illegal working abroad, policies you got while in the usa may not cover for that.

    Transportation is the easiest one but going everywhere with a cabify or Uber is expensive. Rent a car? Sure, also expensive. Buy a cheap car? Sure. You need legal means on the country to do that. Driving license? Hope you legalized and apostilled that too.

    You could become a citizen. But if you have 40k ISD to 750k USD to spare, why the hassle? Stay at the USA.

    And that’s from the top of my head for one country.

    And that’s without talking about how you’re presence there will make everything expensive for the locals over time

    So you not only fucking up your life, but others as well

    Truly American collectivism in action
