Oh, please no. I'm 42, and questioning if reaching 52 is even worth it. I sure could have gone without these past 10 years, and it REALLY feels like it'll only get worse from here.

I get it now. I get RFKjr. He KNOWS his medical opinions are going to kill people faster. He's trying to save people from suffering from......his own political party.

Ok, nope. I was wrong. He's still an idiot. Still though. 192 years old??? What do I look like? Someone who's enjoying my day???

I'm happy if I live long enough to see the Great War of 2077

If you've seen one war, you've seen them all because war... war never changes.

Well.....thats just factually not true.

I'd say there was a HUGE difference between the mongolian war, the american revolution, and WWIII.

.......oh wait. You guys are still in 2026. Give it a year. They called it "the drone war". Sponsered by Fox News. The first war Fox News was able to semi-accurately report. Mostly because they were funding/leading it.

I was referencing Fallout and so was the person I was replying to.

The Crispr dna repair, synthetic young blood substitution, stem cell organ rejuvination, and enzyme telomere repair being perfected and widespread available make age related diseases such as bone loss, wrinkles, cancer, heart failure, cataracts almost nonexistent.

People look like their late 20s into their 80s.

That's easy. Don't be an American

Oh, actually, this timeline implies people like Republicans are extinct and healthcare is a human right. Otherwise defeating climate change is entirely off the table.
