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.
Well, I have rum and a sword from my weeb phase, so cowboy it is. Time to buy a six shooter.
Samurai, during the heydays of the shogunate.
ΒΏPorque no los tres?
No thanks. I'm a coward. I just want to sit on my ass all day and browse lemmy
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.
Be would mean now and here? Or the and there (where they existed)?
Your choice :)
I enjoy camping and am a decent shot, so I guess I'd go with cowboy. Plus, lassos look fun!
Can confirm. Lassos are fun.
Well shit, now I want to get a lasso...
In high school I worked on a ranch. On a couple of occasions I got to round up cattle on horseback. My friends were competitive ropers and I tried it a couple of times. I couldn't rope anything.
Honestly, the most fun I've ever had at a job though there's no way I would spend all day on a hot horse with my 30 something body.
Fictionally, a samurai. But for real, I guess cowboy is the most sane option...
Not even considering being a pirate makes me wonder what you were thinking about? Like being in a fictional world is most awesome thing that can happen to you ever. But also for real their life isn't that bad as being scalped alive
My presumptions says that they don't have great healthcare nor food... And in the fictional world, you'll get hanged unless it's something like One Piece (which would be cool I guess)
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.
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.

All three - pirate against capitalism, cowboy against society, and samurai because their swords are awesome and they bathe.
Pirate!
Pirate, no contest
Samurai. Not quite upper-class but a lot better social standing and conditions than the other two.
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
