Give up: Porn, sadness, and fear

For: Lust, the black market, immortality.

That was easy. Especially on the subject of immortality; we live in a time where humanity is going to make great strides in technology and science, I'm with Carl Sagan on wanting to see humanity reach its potential amd discover new things. Ueah we live in an excellent time to be immortal.

Who would've ever give up anime and want something in return for this worthless piece of shit?

Asking something for giving up anime is degrading for us as spieces.

Give up: Fear, Sadness, Anime

Gain: Lust, Pride, Immortality (I never said what measure of immoral you'll be)

Why does immortality come at the price of being immoral? I'm not arguing the rules of your game with you but I don't see the intrinsic connection.
Even without that condition there are reasons immortality could suck. These include but are not limited to watching everythong you love die, becoming trapped in an inescapable place place, humanity evolving past you, And the inevitability of some force of people discovering your power and experementing on you.


I have nothing against people who can use pot and lead a productive life. It's these sanctimonius hippies that make me wish I was a riot cop in the 60's

Give up: Friendship, Joy, and Empathy (Never had those three to start with, so I'm not losing anything.)

For: Immortality, Mafia Membership, and Black Market

in that case no big deal. besides, I'm sure being immortal through the ages would grow me up anyway.

I was inspired by the notion that immortality may be a bad thing.

Comics/Anim is replaced by Black Market
Self-Esteem is replaced by Immortality
Friends is replaced by a Mafia membership. Everyone is friends with an immortal mafia boss anyway.

Lose of porn come with sex too, the slash means 'and' not 'or'. Just saying.

I'd give up on comics and anime, fear, and sadness. I know I'll need the fear and the sadness in one good time and I won't
have them, but this is a theoretically situation. I know the rules of the game don't apply, but if I could change one of them in any
given moment I wish I'd change sadness for money. Comics and anime are something I REALLY like, in fact they marked my
life already, but to think what I could gain, it has mire wheight the gaining against the lost. Fear and sadness are feelings that
you can control with knowledge and experience which I'll have being immortal. Still, we borned with those feelings for
something, and I think that I'll need them for something some day, I do not know when of for what, but I will need them.
And I'd like to gain mafia membership, the occult, and immortality (no morals are a good price to pay). Being a member of the
mafia can open a lot of doors and windows for me as well as make enemies, I can loose so much because of them, not my
life, but still there is a LOT more to loose than that. The occult will teach me to see, and the immortality will let me use it.

Is it really so hard to give up sadness? Is it really so hard to replace it with pride? Most of the seven deadly sins are indulgences, why would you not want them?

Well he doesn't have any qualms whatsoever. So he's probably cool with it.

Easy.

Porn/Sex

Useless.

Friendship

Useless.

Empathy

Useless.

Select 3 of more things to replace what you gave up:
Greed

Greed is a great motivator.

Pride

Pride is important for the preservation of the self.

Anger

Anger defends one's ego.

Immortality (Comes at the price of being immoral)

That benefits me twice.

Where's the catch?

Give up: Anime Joy Sadness
For: Anger Mafia Membersip Pride


I'd give up fear, money and comics/anime, then gain greed, pride and lust. Thus once achieved, naturally I wouldn't say no to the black market either, should the opportunity present itself.
