No control over to whom, just where.

    I am actually living less than a mile from where I was born, like some middle ages peasant who never traveled, but have traveled. I’d like to have been born here, but in the timeline where Al Gore waited for the ballots to be counted and won.

    France. Their culture is more open, they are more efficient, modern and if they dislike something they not just complain but move to change it. Also their trains are punctual (i am german)

    Pretty happy with where I was originally born to be honest. I just wish the country it’s in hadn’t gone to fascist oligarch shit.

    Ugh, okay, so, this will require some exposition. We went to a high school production once that was supposedly supposed to be really good. I wanna say there was some partnership with Cirque de Soleil but I tried to verify it now and can’t find anything so I may have misunderstood or be remembering incorrectly. Regardless, the theater was packed. The kids were amazing. They were doing the types of acrobatic stunts you’d see at a Cirque show. Sure, they weren’t quite as good, they’re high schoolers, but it was still just absolutely phenomenal!

    Leaving, I started to really look around. The buildings on this campus were so huge. Like twice as tall and wide as any school building I’d ever seen. Nicer looking than my college campus. This was a public highschool. I’d never felt jealous like that before. I’d always known the quality of public education was different in different areas, but this was hardly an hour’s drive from where I grew up. I’d seen other nice schools in the area before but this one was truly on another level.

    So my answer is I wish I was born in Milton High School’s school district I guess.

      Granted… you’re born in a house of someone living in the school district when your mom who was making ends meet by cleaning houses went into labor and couldn’t make it to a hospital.

      (Couldn’t resist)

        lol, that sort it thing crossed my mind when saying it. Because obviously you’re not born exactly where you live. I was born in a hospital in Atlanta but my parents lived outside the city. Honestly outside the metropolitan area unless you’re being extremely generous with the definition of metropolitan area.

    Czechia seems like it’d be pretty based. or Estonia. I like Central/Eastern Europe. or maybe Thailand.

    Any of the top European or Asian countries with the most powerful passports. A lot of people with powerful passports don’t realize the privilege they have just by being born in their country.

    A VERY expensive luxury hospital in the US.

    I’ll keep playing the game I know, but with a stacked deck.
