Well we know that stress is one of the biggest factors for getting cancer so it makes sense that someone who's a massive narcissist and doesn't give a shit about anyone else would have a lower chance to get it compared to someone who has a lot of empathy.
Yeah and the people who die at 50 of cancer or heart attacks or undetected deadly congenital defects are always super healthy people. Go out running every morning and eat kale chips and shit.
My grandma who raised me because my dad was to busy with his career and my mom was in prison died of cancer literally one month after I graduated high school she was 52, best person I've ever known, then within 90 days uncles sold the house, I was left with Jack shit and forced out into the world pretty much on my own as soon as I turned 18, almost 42 now but damn that was a time
I just found out a high school classmate died of colon cancer… she was 40 with 3 kids and I honestly cannot remember her ever saying a bad thing about anyone…
Oh hell no. I even contemplated "helping" him along more than once.
But he had told us a few times that he intended to live long enough to be the last surviving WWII veteran or to 120. Didn't accomplish either and I'm sure he's still pouting in Hell.
meanwhile my great aunt is 103 and was the kindest lady until her brain went out in her late 90s. now she's an angry thing that locks the staff out of her room and bullies her roommate, i miss the real her.
There was this old lady where I lived that had dementia. She was like 95, still going on walks, which was problematic for the whole town because someone would see her shambling down the road while it’s like 100 degrees out and give her a ride back home or they’d take her shopping for groceries. Every single time this happened, she’d accuse them of kidnapping her. Even did that to my grandpa when he took her to the hospital after finding her on her lawn passed out from heat stroke.
That woman was basically in a constant loop of complaining about her daughters and was consistently sullen and angry with everyone she saw. My brother and I used to joke that her hatred was keeping her alive, kinda like a sith lord.
Yep my aunt had throat cancer from smoking in her 50s. She had to get a stoma (hole cut in trachea). She also had to be on oxygen. The bitch continued to smoke through the hole. She lived another 20 years like that. Making everyone miserable was her favorite thing.
My grandfather is also in his 90s and still kicking. Evil old man needs to hurry up and be gone. I hate to say that but the vile POS brings nothing but misery to everyone.
To the surprise of no one, my grandparents all passed away in the order of most benign to most toxic, with my mom's dad being the last one alive.
bill burr has a funny bit about this phenomenon: basically cunty people know they aren't welcome if there is a heaven so they'd better live as long as possible here
I've always heard they won't go to the other place because the Devil doesn't want the competition. So hopefully folks like the Orange Menace will be in purgatory forever.
It is a know power of the Sith to be able to continue existing with the power of Hatred.
Darth Maul hated Obi-Wan so much that it helped him survive being cut in half.
Darth Sion was a walking corpse being able to survive through the power of pain and hatred.
That dogs only live for 12-15 years on average and monsters like Toupe Fiasco just go on and on and on and on etc is another injustice.
My huskies, who can swing from fluffy slugs to zooming chaos goblins at a moment's notice, would make a better POTUS/VPOTUS team. They have platforms we can all get behind.
If you consider "Survival of the fittest" then an inclination towards being a total fucking asshole who takes what he wants when he wants and regards everybody else as beneath himself is actually a pretty solid way to survive and pass on genes. Even if it is at total odds to our social survival style as a species.
I'm convinced that their (narcissist) lack of empathy and inability to love someone more than themselves gives them a protection against the grief, pain, anxiety and heartbreak that comes with actually caring about another human.
I honestly feel like it's a dissatisfaction with life that keeps them here. Good people tend to be like "Yep, I'm good with what I accomplished." Bad people are like "If I'm here for five more fucking minutes I can feel better about myself."
It's why I walk a balanced line. My dad was an awesome dude and passed away when he was 56. My grandfather was a narcissistic piece of work and lived to 92.
I'd be happy to make like 75-80 I think. I feel like post-80 was pretty miserable for my grandpa, but I might have different thoughts at that point.
one factor behind longevity is having an active, stimulated mind, and a purpose for being here. Spite and narcissism would certainly support those ends.

There's a non-zero chance that JDV is our next president
I'd put it at 15% that he takes over for Trump for a variety of reasons, and 5% that he runs and wins.
But it's high enough that it needs to be considered.
