Seriously.
I have a pretty good life, but if I could, I'd go back and prevent my own birth. Working for life sucks.

You can always burn your boss's house.
Yeh I did not fucking consent to this
Luckily we all have the power to decide to not exist anymore.
I didn't wait through 13.8 billion years of cosmic soup just to give up.
But thats illegal!
You wouldnt damage government property... would you?
The penalty's death!
Doesn't matter anymore then
Yeah, uh, that's not as simple as it sounds
Source: you wish
But we don't have the choice to have never existed. Once you exist, its kind of a pandora's box. And ceasing to exist after you've started to exist is a unfathomable horror.
horror *for others
Which is irrelevant for oneself when not existing anymore
Nah man, causing people I love to suffer on account of my actions is something I want to avoid whenever I can.
Yeah I wouldn't be around to be actively bothered by it, but I care about others and the impact I have quite a bit.
I have hope that I can help make a better tomorrow, I can't do that by causing those I love to suffer.
To be the person that someone used to know, that when conversations get close to they get quiet, and for people to hang their heads at the thought of me. I have enough people in my past that are that way, I don't want to be that person for someone else.
Horror for you as you approach death as well.
If you think you'll "be ready" when faced by impending oblivion, I'd say maybe, but probably not.
My maternal grampa wasn't and he was old as shit when he died. The only reason the rest of my grandparents were OK with dying is because they thought they were going to fucking heaven.
You don't have to keep living in the society you were born into, but it's a lot easier than living out in the wilderness, even with all the bullshit that comes with it.
If only the wilderness also had fibre internet id be so happy
And electricity!
Oh I just assumed thered be lots of hamsters in the wild for that, running the servers, generating electricity
Are there not?
You'd be far better off acquiring some solar panels and batteries, than trying to get your army of hamsters fed.
Do they sell those in the wilderness?
Probably at the same place where you can get hamster-wheel-powered generators.
The plan was to build those from sticks and leaf litter, based on the youtube videos ive seen, you can make almost anything in the forest with your hands and some rocks
Well, that just made me think. Leaves already ARE nature's solar panels.
Possibly! I've never tried it myself.
