"born too late to die in war, born too early to die in war, born just in time to die at my desk"

I mean I certainly don't want to fight in wars if those are the options, cubicles it is.

I rode a vehicle into combat. It's really not all it's cracked up to be. You're sleep deprived, terrified, and every now and then something happens that reinforces the randomness of who gets to go home on their feet and who goes home under a flag.

That's only going to get worse as we get things like turrets that can acquire targets on their own. Ever seen an aimbot video from a game? How do you take out a line of weapons that have pinpoint accuracy and fire as fast as they can physically move their barrels?

The next big war is going to be World War 1 all over again. And the old wars with Knights and Cavalry killed more people with dysentery than the fighting.

Just let me play Doom in a cubicle.

If it's war and combat you want there is absolutely no shortage of that going on...

You're born just in time.

The visor in that suit's helmet probably just shows ads all the time.

I'd probably be ready to split your head open if you were #1 so that's a good thing you aren't a degenerate religious zealot nobility fuck

You also don't want to move meat fodder for some politicians war, imagine how North Korean soldiers are being used in Ukraine right now—being tossed at drones so the Russian elite forces flank... you want to be that meat fodder for some weird strange reason and you think you'll be seen as a hero, no youlll get spit on. You don't want to be any of them, you think the "elite" forces are better off? Fuck invading someone else's home. You don't want to be invaded either, be happy with peace

Don't settle for being a corporate slave either, you limit your possibilities only to what has happened in the past or in media, not imagining what you actually want

You are born just In time to see a wave of worker co-ops flood the lower classes, you are born just in time to see the community around you needs you right now, not tomorrow

If I was alive in the Warhammer 40k universe I'd honestly probably be turned in servo-skull and tasked with far more mundane jobs like following around a Space Marine as a lamp.

Nah, you'd be on a field till your neck sweat reached your ass crack. You had to be born into nobility to be a knight.. sort of like how you have to be born into riches to not be a [insert profession] monkey.

You're just in the right time period to probably not die of exsanguination?

The children yearn for Valhalla

If it's any solace: every era sucks.

I imagine that I would never be on the side of the crusaders, so now seems more suitable for my tastes than those two options.

I recognize Warband in the first picture... I think I need to fire it up again.

Knights shat in their armor... Also, the odds of being landed nobility or their enforcement class are super slim. The past sucked and was even more full of parasites and disease. Definitely a no for me, dog.

Basically the same goes for WH40k and I'd rather not have to get shot at by aliens anyway, so I'm fine with my current prospects lol

I wonder if halo universe Excel has holograms.
