In fifty years, people will be writing essays about why this comment makes sense and is hilarious.

\\ Hello future essay writers, I hope you have accrued enough credits to keep your crate cool tonight!\\

If I am not dead in fifty years I dread to imagine what a 75 year old me would be like. I would prefer not to get to that stage though, I'm cool with dying before I'm 40.

Also future essay writers I fucked your grandmother's.

I'm cool with dying before I'm 40.

Lots of people think that but they usually change their mind when they grow a bit older.

It's called passive suicidality, I want to die but am overridden from killing myself by my instincts and pride.

You: "I'm cool with dying before I'm 40."

Genie: Done! You're wish is granted.

You: But nothing's changed?

Genie: Correct.

It's an aspiration, also I kind expect for a civil conflict of some type to kick off sooner or later where I will probably bleed out in an irrigation ditch or something.

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

I think this civil conflict will look more like the Irish troubles, and that it's already begun.

Or the long period of guerrilla activity that preceded the Civil War.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 hours ago

My money is on troubles then something akin to the break up of Yugoslavia and the following wars.

If I don't go down in a hail of gunfire long before then, allow me to say, include me in the screenshot. In this case, include me in the academic citation as well.
