How did you get this picture of me?

Seriously though. If I die, I don't have any strong feelings about that. I do however, have strong feelings about how I die. I don't want to go out from some drug overdose, starvation, by getting crushed by gravity (fall damage), or in some violent crime.

But if I can just blink out of existence.... That's okay with me. Get hit by a train and turned into mist, okay. Seems oddly specific but I can go with it.... Snapped out of existence by Thanos. Awesome, seems like it should be painless.

Stabbed 47 times, in the street for the Nickles in my pocket? No thanks. That sounds horrible. Starving? Choking on my own vomit from a drug overdose? Getting shot and bleeding out on the sidewalk? Falling to my death? No thanks. All of those seem like really unpleasant and painful ways to die.

I don't actively seek death, but if it comes for me, I am a willing participant.

Disagree on the train part. Getting hit by a train is just getting crushed by gravity but sideways

I think it depends on the speed of the train. If it's not going very fast, yeah, probably.

But stand in front of a bullet train and you'll be a mist before you can register any pain.
