    oh, definitely TNG-era Star Trek.

    Socialist Space Utopia where I can be or do whatever I like anywhere I like, free of need and want? Sounds awesome!

    What would I do? Explore the endless opportunities!

        But if you’re living on a planet far from the fighting, sure there might be a slight change in your day-to-day, but you wouldn’t be consumed by it. Even living in the Alpha Centauri system would be far from the fighting but close enough in to be a core world in the Federation.

        well, technically, FC assimilated Earth happened in an alternate timeline, but you make a good point about the Domino War and wanting to avoid that. So, yeah, I’d want to arrive after that ended.

      It was never said to be socialist. At best, the federation gave rations to its soldiers. I hate that little myth, its not canon.

      Bad thing about the shire is, in the books particularly, I get the feeling that the Hobbits are super judgy and talk shit about each other constantly behind their backs.

      Which, given that the shire is so small and insular, checks out. What else are they talking about after they finish up about the weather or wondering when Gandalf will show up with fireworks again.

        So, a small town?

        I moved back to the farm and my fucking god, everyone knows what everyone else is doing to the finest detail. It’s a little creepy. Oh, and anyone without a Facebook account has to be hiding something.

    The Culture. Live as long as you want, as whatever gender you feel like at the moment, doing whatever you want, with all the recreational drugs you could ever want on tap in your brain, and no scarcity on a living ship touring the galaxy looking for interesting places.

    Probably one of the future utopias, where there is no need for material wealth, where we have reached the point of being able to upload (and download back again) our consciousness, so we can have virtual worlds and real ones. No scarcity. Where we’ve mastered wormholes for travel.

    On one of the Culture worlds, as depicted by Iain M Banks.

    I’d just be one of the hedonist citizens though. If Special Circumstances suddenly wanted my involvement, I’d be ‘No, thanks!’

      I’m having a hard time choosing between an Orbital or a GSV.

      But then, I’m also effectively immortal, so why not both for a few thousand years?

    The Matrix.

    All of my fellow humans and brain driven meat related organisms love the matrix and would live to live there.

    Don’t you, fellow human.

    Totally not a bot. Just another radical human having normal human conversations about the matrix.

    Harry Potter/Howarts, but in a boring ass house, or another generation where Voldemort or Voldemort gang are not seen.

      TBH even during Voldemort’s era I don’t think many normal folks were impacted except if they were in the wrong place at the wrong time or briefly when they took over the Ministry. So it’d of been pretty minor overall for your average wizard I think (correct me if I’m wrong, been a while since I read the books).

    Discworld would be pretty dope, too. Just living my life there as a bystander or maybe become a wizard.

      Same but then I remember that Anhk-Morpork is supposed to small awful. I’d visit but I can’t say I I’d want to live there. But if I could bring some luggage that’d be great.

    Chilling with hobbits sounds pretty cool.

    Eat lots of good, local food, drink loads of beer, smoke tons of weed out of sweet ass churchwarden pipes.
