If I was facing life or the death penalty, I choose death.
Wasting away, fighting for survival, no entertainment, no vices (in theory), etc.
No appeals, expedite it. Take me behind the courthouse and put a few rounds in my head. Be thorough.
I’m miserable enough living in “the greatest country in the world,” just get it over with. My “life” is lost either way, death just prevents the rampant suffering along the way.
Honestly, this was already happening in my local music scene over a decade ago.
It’s a large part of why I got out of the physical metal spaces…
I don’t care if it’s swedish melodic gloom thrash death metal or whatever, I just wanted to mosh and have a good time.
I can talk about music theory, and technical masterpieces, and all that. Something can be technically impressive and still sound like crap. People don’t seem to separate the skill involved from the actual music put out.
That being said, I’m tool old to hop in the pit these days. Even if I didn’t get “hurt” I’d still be sore all over for a week lol.
If I had the money to blow I wouldn’t give it all to charity… Some, sure, I can think of a few I like.
That being said, after getting my luxury bones fixed and getting out of pain, I’d just buy a house and pay off my car.
Then retire. Probably move somewhere tropical… Or isolated, haven’t decided. Maybe both is possible. All I know is a fiber (or future equivalent) would be mandatory.
Because if I have 450k to just blow, I’ve got way more in reserve.
Factorio is one of those few games (rim world too) that I can sit down and not realize that HOURS are flying by.
For that alone, Factorio is a must have for anyone who enjoys base building aspects in other games. Also, there is multiplayer on PC. At least with mods it’s possible.
Nord VPN also keeps logs and has handed them over to police forces.
So far I’m like the proton suite, have my email and VPN through them.
As a Texan with a wife from Detroit, other than individual little pizzerias, Jets is gonna be the best Detroit style you’ll probably find.
Gotta give it up for Buddy’s in Detroit though.
Detroit really is a great place to get food though.
My BIL, trying to get enough airline miles for something, once flew into Detroit just to eat, then flew back. He is enamored by aviation though, the type of person to go to the airport to watch planes take off and land. Then again, he gets into the centurion club free, so he can wait until the last minute to get to his gate, and get free food and alcohol so maybe he just misses most of the hassles of flying.
