I want to be a pirate literally cuz I'm in the middle of watching one piece

When thinking of each, if it was in a world where life is good and I'm living in the picturesque lifestyle that comes to mind for each one, then probably a Pirate.

Sailing the open seas is the picture that comes to mind and it's the most "romantic" to me.

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

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

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.

Samurai, during the heydays of the shogunate.

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.

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...

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

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

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.

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

It's a toss up between cowboy and samurai.

For Samurai it would depend on when. Samurai became defacto nobility, but they began in the 8th century as just mercenaries hired by local nobles to protect their estates.

But a cowboy is a life in the open air on a ranch. Hard work for sure, but hard work doesn't bother me.

Samurai gets paid by the fedual lord. Easy choice.

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

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.

Pirate, no contest

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

Pirate!

Yarr!

Samurai. Not quite upper-class but a lot better social standing and conditions than the other two.
