People dress up as cowboys now. Go to your local Walmart.

Speaking of, why the fuck aren't they shamed into the shadow realm like I would be if I dressed as a samurai while getting the bread and milk?

Anyway that's my answer, Samurai.

A movie pirate. The kind that gets to sail, have adventures, but never seems to do any killing or pillaging.

¿Porque no los tres?

Samurai, during the heydays of the shogunate.

pirates supported same-sex marriage, so I’ll go with that 🏳️‍🌈

Well, I have rum and a sword from my weeb phase, so cowboy it is. Time to buy a six shooter.

All would actually suck if these are the realistic versions, but Cowboy would suck the least, at least as a violence-averse person (if you're not violence-averse I understand why you'd pick Samurai.)

Movie versions, I'd still go Cowboy. I'd get stir crazy on a boat and I don't like answering to people like Samurai need to.

Samurai. They were freaking rich, ate good food and married well. They did good deeds and shit and had plenty of time for self reflection and improvment.

No thanks. I'm a coward. I just want to sit on my ass all day and browse lemmy

Be would mean now and here? Or the and there (where they existed)?

From what I like the most? Defebatly pirate, cause I could be another pirate Queen and that sounds dope

From whats the least icky one? Samurai after it became a social status and a symbol of nobility with the occasional murdering

Samurai gets paid by the fedual lord. Easy choice.

I want to be a samurai. I wanted to be one since I was a kid, and I want to be one even more after having read Hagakure. I even try to live up to a lot of the same ideals Yamamoto Tsunetomo laid out in the book about what it meant to be samurai. It's almost the same idea as medieval chivalry; but more intense and without the religious overtones.

Fictionally, a samurai. But for real, I guess cowboy is the most sane option...

A cowboy. I was born in the western US and spent some of my young life on a cattle ranch. It's hard work and at the end of the day, there's a sense of accomplishment.

Not interested in being a pirate, stealing isn't my thing. I don't like the idea of slicing and dicing people, so samurai wouldn't work for me either.

I enjoy camping and am a decent shot, so I guess I'd go with cowboy. Plus, lassos look fun!

Cowboy you get to live a normal life in modern times compared to the other two. A modern day pirate is a shitty 3rd world existence and a samurai means being in Japan. I’ll take Cowboy with a loving wife and kids raising cattle and in the evenings getting to stream 4K content with Starlink on my OLED tv eating amazing BBQ anyday.

Pirate, no contest

Samurai. I'd like a higher place on the social hierarchy than pirate and cowboy.

tough choice. all super cool. all equally tough jobs for their own reason. i guess cowboy because i have not been on a boat long enough and have not practuced swordplay as much

I would 100000% be a samurai because I'm 1000000% a weeb

Pirate is definitely out - I don't really care to be surrounded by guys 24/7 on a crowded and dirty ship. Samurai maybe but I'd go with "Cowboy". Has the best chance for a somewhat modern life and many chances to meet women...
