How long do you expect to live?

I was just looking at the 22nd anniversay of the 9/11 thread and thinking what I'd be doing when we get to the 22nd anniversary of January 6th. I'll be 73. Considering my family history, reasonable chance I'll be gone by then.

Regardless, we are all mortal, and while the filthy rich may be able to extend their life for many decades by then I'm not that guy. I don't really expect anything after death - I won't be shocked by anything, I think anyone that says they know if there is an existence past death is lying, but I fully recognize my ignorance on this one. I expect nothingness, but if I end up in front of Anubis to have my soul weighed I'd just start laughing maniacally before processing anything else.

Suppose I'm old enough to have my will in order.

Anyway, how long do you expect to stick around?

I'm trying to make it to 83 so I can be around for the 100th anniversary of Doctor Who, but I do eat a lot of bacon and every time I feel a random twinge I assume it's the end.

Long enough so I can take a half day off to go to my funeral.

Probably until later this afternoon. Or in 20 years, I don't know. My odds of making it to 60 are slim (unlike my figure).

Make sure you submit a time off request six weeks in advance, in writing. And find your own coverage.

Longer than you! Painful to live in fear, isn't it?

As long as I goddamn well please.

Out of spite.

Fuck you.

I need to make it to April 5, 2063 so I can travel to Bozeman, Montana and meet Vulcans.

How long I expect to live is a lot fucking longer than I want to.

Even if it's later this evening.

If you see a 99 year old lady there, just keep walking.

I really hope you’re joking. I say stupid stuff like that, so it’s always a concern to me if I should laugh or offer support.

Either 69 or 420.

Given family history and lifestyle I'd say it could be a boringly average 80 years - of which I'm just past the halfway point right now.

That assumes no collapse of civilisation in the meantime and the attendant increase in mortality that might bring. A rather big assumption given how things are going.

I'd be happy with like 80

I don't really have any expectations about my lifespan.

Health-wise, as long as I make some effort to exercise and shit, I can probably make it to 70 at least. I definitely have heart disease in my future. As of now my blood pressure is creeping up but I probably have a few years before I have to start taking medication for it.

Accidents... could happen at any time.

Intentional... I am kind of surprised I haven't been murdered for being a smartass already. Also, I'm an Uber driver, lots of Uber drivers getting murdered lately.

Yeah, it'll probably be the murder thing.

Yeah I'm split like that as well.

If we say it, do we really think it's stupid?

2 more years?

Wow.

I hope 80. After 80 life is just doctor visit to doctor visit and you ache all the time. My dad died at 83 and my mom is still going at 92.

2 days after my 94th birthday? I'm in.



My birth mother literally died on her 65th birthday.

My paternal grandfather died at 59, but had worked in an asbestos mine

My dad's two elder brothers, life long smokers, both karked it around 65

Dad also smoked most of his life, but was pretty active. (oldest brother was a farmer though, and that'll keep ya fit)... he was 81 when he passed last year.



Really skewered my expectations...

I'm hoping for late 70s.

I'm not super fit, but walk or cycle practically everywhere. Fairly healthy diet and lifestyle (asides from smoking/weed). Rarely and barely touch alcohol.


Full domestication might be a wise course of action. People with partners tend to live longer, I've heard.

never.

it's always a statement worthy of some type of follow up.

You people can be just adorable sometimes.

Dude, you've posted pictures here. We've seen you. Do you really want to be immortal in that body...?

That's just a regeneration trying to kick in. Why are you denying your next form?

My guess would be I can expect mid 80s, assuming nothing like a heart attack or the big C earlier.

Nice.

Ummm, I think I am exceeding expectations at the moment.

I smoked for a long time. I have always had huge sugar problems. I did a whole bunch of terrible drugs. I have spent really long times asleep, sitting, and laying down. My muscles have actually atrophied to a point where I could not walk across a baseball field without a break. I have massive neuropathy. I do not see a doctor. I am a functional DXM junkie. I am well aware of a few indicators of arterial disease.

I am pretty much in the area of likely to have an early heart attack, and am actively waiting for it.

How far I would like to live is at least until october when I have tickets for a Christopher Titus show. I would like to visit Japan someday, but I have put that one on the maybe won't make it pile.

If I make it to 65 with the present rate of increasing body malfunctions I am probably going to seriously be considering a high velocity lead diet.

Genetically... 20+ more years. My father is 80, my mother would be but for covid 78, all four of my grandparents lived into their 90's.

But I could also die in a car wreck tomorrow. Life is chaos.

My family medical history is all over the place. I just picked 70 as an average.

Mom: Some heart disease, and she's hat a thyroid condition her whole life. She's more or less fine as long as she takes medication.

Dad: High blood pressure early/mid 30s. First heart attack at 40, diagnosed with diabetes while in hospital for heart attack. Died at 64 when having a pacemaker installed, would have had less than a year without the pacemaker.

Mom's parents: Dad: Heart attack, mid 60's. Mom: Ovarian cancer, 60.

Dad's parents: Dad: Skin cancer, 32. Mom: Aneurysm, 32.

Great grandparents: Some made it to 70, one made it to 86, another to 94.

Aunts and uncles are all over the place. A cousin of mine got stomach cancer in his mid-30's, they told him he'd be dead before turning 40, and he lived to 64.

As for me, so far it looks like I've got the milder end of cardiovascular issues. I'll need medication, but I might not start having heart attacks. I also have asthma, which could kill me at any time but probably won't.

However, this is all irrelevant because someone is definitely going to do a murder on me before the health stuff happens.

If you would just submit to lordess hello kitty we would not have to do things like the murder to you. Do not blame us because you want things like free will and not to have to be adorable and cute.
