that's what i was wondering rocky, or else there would be no reason not to choose the mil, since it has the bonus of giving 250k to charity.

YOUS A SILLY ***
=)

hmm, if i could get away with the robbery then i'd choose that, cause i think it'd be awesome giving 250k to a charity i'm actually interested in supporting. they'll probably wonder where a 21 year old guy got 250k to give to charity but i'll just be like fvck ittttttttt

Would you live a year in complete solitude for the potential to make a million bucks a year? or just go through school / standard work and not go crazy from never communicating with people/friends/family/anyone

I'll try the first one. As long I have something to do and such I think I'll be fine.

do you smoke? that's a tough *** question

how high's the potential?
You can decide to live however else you want, obviously necessities are provided in this hypothetical situation. Most likely you won't have a lot of funds right when you start though. Plus, even if you could buy a years worth of herb, if you blazed all day you would probably fail.

Let's say the potential is... 30%. Would it change if it was 50%? No higher than a 50-50 shot tho

what kind of solitude? can i have a tv with some dvds? or is it just me alone in a house where i magically have infinite food but i can't leave the premises.

i mean, i'm going to do it no matter what
i don't think i would go crazy as long as i'm not struggling for sustenance and have SOMETHING to do to entertain myself (books, models to build, art supplies, an instrument, records, whatever i can get)

if im literally sitting in a 8x10 cell where i dont get anything but a bed, a toilet, and food that is shoved in through a tiny slot in the door, i probably couldn't hang

there are a lot of options, but i think it could handle it in almost any situation to be honest.

Do I have to explain why tho?
Why you choose one option over another? yes

Okay let me be more clear,

You live in your house (alone), and own whatever you own right now. You get something like a minimum wage pay (whatever income you're living on right now... so basically nothing extravagant, a bit more than raw subsistence). You can go out to the store, you can drive around, but your interactions with people aren't more than your casual greetings and you don't get to see anyone you're close with.

Now your work requires a lot of effort and you will just have enough time (8 hrs) to sleep. So you don't get a TON of leftover time to just chill, let's say you work 12 hours and have to find time to eat/sleep in the remaining 12 hours. You get a lunch break.

Then you have a 70% chance of not succeeding.

I hope this didn't end up more confusing -_-

I like how you're kinda comparing to me and you.


I pick your situation because the biggest reason is of course possibly earning a million dollars, of course you have to give up on people like your girlfriend, friends and family which sucks alot. I don't mind working 12 hours a day and such. Even tho there's a 70% of failure, I would still take it and earn something.


There's more but I'll tell you later about it.

probably on a platform
i would think eventually the nerves would die or whatever and you wouldn't really feel it

i knew a guy who couldn't feel it if it happen and would let people do it to him to prove it

LMAO i would do it

the no permanent damage sealed the deal
The deal was:

"Every day, you're awoken by a kick in the balls. And at 2 random points in the day you're kicked in the balls.

There's no way of getting out of this deal. The person kicks you hard. No one else can see this person. You can't wear a cup or anything.


Your balls will never be permanently damaged."


Can you image like at your wedding just before you kiss the bride or when you're getting it on with your girl? **** dude or like when you're about to eat and ****? Even with that huge amount of money....That's limited but the kicking is like til you die and **** with no way out. The no permanent damage was a huge no....Feeling the pain over and over? **** that!

Nah, I just couldn't do that! Woken up by getting kicked in the b@lls EVERYDAY would suck forever! Not to mention that you're gonna get kicked 2 more times at random later in the day!

Edit -
i would think eventually the nerves would die or whatever and you wouldn't really feel it
I guess dying nerves would be considered damaged! It wouldn't work in this case because you wouldn't get permanent damage! Meaning you're gonna feel the force hitting your family jewels every time!

not only that's not the point but you're going to be wasting your funds even faster.

So basically it would really really suck to get my balls kicked every day.

There is one way and only one way that I would take the money: if after I died, I would be able to channel all my power and completely annihilate my aggressor's balls.

i might do it

500 000 000 is like enough to live on forever(?)
or at least invest a bunch and live well

i dunno
it might be worth it to get nutted thrice a day to make the people i care about have easier (rich) lives

the main decider for me is: do I still get to decide when I wake up? does the guy wait until 8 hours have past to kick my balls? because it would kinda suck if I only got like 3 hours of sleep a night.

you can only get kicked 3 times per day

so unless one of your 2 random ones for the day comes again while you are asleep, you would be ok

the first 6 months or so would suck
but eventually you'd get used to it and not even be phased

"There's no way of getting out of this deal. The person kicks you hard. No one else can see this person. You can't wear a cup or anything."

guaranteed no permanent damage
AND no one can see this dude

this is basically like a year or 2 of torture in exchange for financial security for the rest of your life

lets not forget

like you probably wouldnt be able to sleep for a while
because you would have too much anxiety about falling asleep and getting kicked in the balls

but eventually your body clock would know, yeah its been about 6 hours. time to get punted

but 500 MILLION is a lot

for real, those people are trying to make it a win-win situation, definitely not how this goes

I love how they worded the description, so hilarious

Yeah.. I've decided you should never give up social affairs for anything. Usually most people who don't have friends are depressed, even if they have a great job and are good at anything and have plenty of money in the bank

better way to put it:

is it better to be depressed with a ton of cash or to be completely ****ing broke and have some bros that you shake down for money all the time
