Why would I need to... No I don't plan on trying again for that specific reason.. Sometimes when things are bad enough or I'm pissed enough I try but nothing ever ends up coming of it.

Death is a mistress I will never know. Suicide was so 5-10 years ago, eventually you just kind of move on from it.

If you wanted to be tied forever to capitalism then yeah making a lot of money would let you live with it forever. Your survival becomes linked to lots of money meaning something. Careful what you wish for though.

Not an option unfortunately... Immortal is immortal :(

Well all possibilities are possible, so you get a sense of choice even though any choices that would lead to your death are unseen to you or simple not taken.

I've found the futher ahead you plan the more likely something is to happen so there is still a little choice. I've never been able to plan any of these suicide boxes that other people have mentioned tho..(not in any real sense anyways.)

The questions wasn't if it was a bad deal, you are already immortal. I was just trying to get some ideas on what could be done to make ones life better given these parameters.

Yes, you will do as little socializing as possible. Just enough socializing to prevent extreme depression and thus unaliving.

You'll cook your own food because ordering out all the time isn't healthy.

Diseases aren't necessarily something that it negates. For example, if you get COVID and it makes you dumber, that's a plus because then now you're easier to manipulate because you can't plan ahead as far. versions of you that could plan ahead farther might be more likely to make decisions that would go against your odds of surviving in any given scenario.

You'd be surprised what things you might think are safe actually end up not being safe at all.

Unfortunately, it's extremely hard to choose to lose your job. You keep going to work, even though you would rather stay at home and just read books.

I've been actively trying to lose my job by just not working, but what happens is the org ends up in a state of chaos, people are losing their jobs left and right( Except me, of course 🙄..😮‍💨).. My boss retires, all so I fall under the radar.

Some insane shit happens when You decide you're not getting a job after your current one, and yet you stop putting in any effort.

Thank you for this idea though, making bets on ones life could be a way to profit/make money if that was something you wanted.

Likely you would just never choose to be a daredevil. Lets say you did tho, likely you would fail to ever plan an event. Lets say you got to an event and you are driving down the track, yes you would always stick the landing and everything would just work.

Its more likely many other things happen before that though, I would think. Knowing the probability in these things is hard. Like if the choice is between you being a daredevil and you 100-99% dying from depression then you will choose to be a daredevil.

Its very hard to know these things tho as you don't know all the variables. Thats why in my other comment I mention it is easier to chose to not do things because you can know and actively choose against the variables in those cases.

 

There are some caveats though. You are immortal but what this actually means is that you are unable to do anything that would probabilistically lead to your death.

So, for example, if you were more probable to die getting into a car than walking, you would choose to walk. But only if choosing to walk was more probable than the probability of you surviving after getting into a car.

It's kind of confusing, but essentially You have no choice if something is about to kill you, but if you plan far enough ahead, the probability of you choosing to do or not to do something versus the probability of your survivability can potentially win out.

So given this version of immortality, what would you plan to do to benefit yourself in some way?

I've already thought about potentially hooking up some kind of lottery Number machine to a guillotine in order to win the lottery but it turns out that the probability of you not making this machine is more likely than making the machine and surviving so you just never end up making the machine.

In order to get an idea of where I'm coming from, here's a video that explains a bit aboabout quantum immortality. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTZZUjnrbF8

 

I was notified not too long ago that they were going to be getting rid of the property management company they were working with. This is only a month after I started renting.

I like property management companies because I don't have to deal with these type of people that I despise as well they offer SLAs/ticketing systems, in house maintenance, fast response time, after hours emergency numbers, etc, etc.

I checked here: https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/06r17#BK193 and it says that I can get a rent decrease if there is a removal of a service so I'm going to make sure they don't forget that and if they say no I'm going to the tenant board.
