suppose I would just run out for some smokes and never return.
It doesn’t matter. All life is suffering.
Do I start out in the same conditions or take a whole new roll of the dice?
A very important question. I’m definitely not interested in redoing this life under the same conditions.
Really? The only way I’d do it is if it was a repeat…
Just imagine all the money you could make on stocks knowing which companies will succeed in advance. But money isn’t the endgame…imagine what you could DO with that money. All the lives you could change, all the tragedies you could prevent…assuming you have the willpower to not be corrupted by it
That wouldn’t be the same conditions. You didn’t have foreknowledge about things the first time through.
If I could have foreknowledge, that would change things.
I suppose OP didn’t clarify if we’d remember anything in this scenario, I just assumed we did.
I think I’d still redo it, though. Even with all the bad stuff that’s happened in my life, it’s still better than how most people live
Completely? Witness a series of murders by a high profile criminal and get witness protection.
Or call that guy in New Mexico for a specific vacuum package.
I think that just works if you believe in reincarnation… ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Hey, the question wasn’t “if it works”
A What if I could restart my life from scratch using a magical wand of some sort situation, or something more realistic like ‘I change country/name/job’?
Good god no. Not unless I can change the starting conditions. I had to claw my way to this tenuous level of comfort.

If you’re not familiar with the isekai genre.
It’s a type of story where by some means the character leaves their own world (usually death) and wakes up in another. Typically with a new different body (but not always) and a fresh crack at life.
I’d want a comfy slice of life story.
bro you are isekai’d right now. you are not a “human” build the world you want here and now stop dreaming of a next better life. make your current life better or you will repeat the lessons until you understand them
Yeah
I’ve been building a go-bag for months that has everything to set up a base camp. I guess I would learn horticulture and food preservation then take my rigged up backpack to disappear into the woods. Hopefully I would never be found.
You’re on a quest for a G.E.C.K., aren’t you.
I passed the cave trials, I got my whetstone from the NPC, and I’m making a b-line for the Enclave to steal a power armor and weapons before leveling up twice.
I would add more charisma points and remove some intelligence points. Makes for a happier life!
I hear moving to a new country can have that effect.
I would kill someone and go to prison, life wouldn’t be the same.
