- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
- Be nice. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements to private messages.

Every time I feel old I remember that all of my grandparents lived to well over 90 and that I'm barely halfway through my life. With modern medicine and the Boomers beta testing any advances, I'll probably live to 130 with good quality of life with just over the counter medication and regular automated cancer screenings.
And extra colon cancer screenings if I'm a good boy.
I can't afford to live as long as my grandparents.
Neither did they, but they borrowed from future generations.
Now ppl can't & even might not want to live that long.
I sure as fuck don’t.
80% of my time here has been fucking miserable, why the fuck would I want to to continue???
Ikr?
Like, I have statistical proof from my own life, at 99.5% confidence level I can say that the downhill trend will only accelerate, and the results of most of my life match the model completely.
I can't afford to live now, when I'm old and can't work, I might as well die because I certainly won't be able to afford to live.
I hope I don't make it to 80, that I don't have to muster the courage to action my principles. Let me die with meaning before I'm no longer contributing to our fight for dignity. A body without a brain is little more than a vessel for profit.
