How would you handle this hypothetical dilemma?

I guess I would just throw in the towel and join my homeless friends.

@john65pennington Remember, your friends are nil. there is no one on your side.

I’ve been there and I had planned my death with letters to family and all. When it actually came down to doing the deed I stopped and thought about it and turned it around.

Can I kill myself? If not, I think I would probably be too much of a disaster to have the energy for stealing or sex, so I guess I would sit on the ground and see what happens. Passive begging, I guess.

Does begging for someone to kill me count?

If there are only those three alternatives, I would start begging. Stealing wouldn’t work for long, and I don’t see people lining up for my 55 yr. old carcass.

Perhaps it is a form of begging, but I’d be hitting up all the social service places I could find.

Thinking it through I guess I’m kind of proud (in a negative way)... begging doesn’t appeal at all.

I can think of a lot of things you can steal that are essentially victimless, and I don’t really have a problem with selling my body (especially if that’s all I have) as long as I can be safe, so that’s definitely an option.

Morally I would think begging is more acceptable than stealing, but I think I’d be more apt to steal.

I’m with @Supacase. I’m pretty sure my will to live would be nil.
As for sex, I’m too old to sell my body.
Too guilty to steal.
So if I had to choose I would beg but probably offer some trade in return. Like clean their car or home or shoes. Something.

B. or C. or both. Fuck begging.

I’d probably do a combination of begging and selling my body (if anyone would pay me for it). The only way I would steal is if my life literally depended on it. In that case, I might pull a Jean Valjean and steal a loaf of bread.

@augustlan They do feed you in jail.

If I were walking down the beach in nothing but my birthday suit, I would do whatever it takes to survive.

I could sleep under a rock. I could find suitable drinking water.

I could be a caveman.

Its human nature that we take care of ourselves…....first.

I’d figure it out. I’d get help from strangers.

None of those three work for me at all. I would immediately commit suicide.

I am too indecisive to commit suicide, too disgusted by stranger sex to sell my body…but I might get there. I would steal as a first option. Begging requires too much reliance on strangers. and I like to take things into my own hands. Steal, steal, steal. I agree that despondence would be hyper-prevalent.

I guess if I chose stealing I could end up in jail with 3 hots & a cot. Better than the streets. Although I still prefer begging someone to kill me if killing myself isn’t an option.
