If only...

It's stunning how many people seem to forget that there are other countries on the planet that use dollars and weren't involved in Vietnam. No, I'm not making an assumption. The person who posted this is Canadian.
Y'all really need to take a step back and reflect a little bit.
That's... Dying at 54 years of age?
Yes please
and the problem is where? I'm here for a good time not a long time
You can still be happy in your 50s and beyond.
Teach me this skill.
At least until 72 or so. After that it's iffy.
Eh, my parents are pretty happy in their 70s. They still go skiing, travel a ton, etc. Stay active and your 70s can be quite pleasant.
Made me think of this Irish toast:
"Here's to a long life, and a merry one
A quick death, and an easy one
A pretty girl, and an honest one
A cold beer - and another one"
I’m here for a good AND long time.
Ideally also long.
Did he fucking stutter
Dying at 54 means you can also live in the bliss of eating red meat, drinking, and ripping cigarettes every day after your 20s.
This.
You can push it back to 1944 if you're in the US, the war wouldn't have impacted you much. You could even push it back to 1940, but there may be some depression era nutrition issues.
That bumps 2001 up to 57. Honestly go for a few more years and retire before '08 and die in 2019 before covid at age 75
Why die before COVID? COVID was honestly kinda okay, if you're a home body type. I played so many video games, it was glorious.
Being 75 puts you in the choking to death from covid range, no fun.
Looking at the stats, I'd take my chances.
As God intended.
