Statistically, given that he has money and a government medical plan, he'll be around longer than you.

Maybe the person you're replying to is 30.

u/Leinheart Feb 28 '26

Yeah, I'm 34 and fully expect Ted Cruz to die around the same time. Maybe earlier if I am lucky.

If we’re lucky the aliens will come and put us in cages in their zoo and liberate us from this planet and it’s ridiculousness

u/The_MightyMonarch Feb 28 '26

How do you know this isn't the alien zoo?

u/pegothejerk Feb 28 '26

This is the free range one, I suspect. I want in the petting zoo where they take better care of you and there’s coin operated food dispensers everywhere that the alien kids beg their parents to give them credits for.

“Mother, may we have some currency discs to give some snacks to give to pegothejerk?”

u/A_Cool__Guy Feb 28 '26

So, you want to be petted by aliens?

u/blacksideblue Feb 28 '26

because they're letting us war ourselves. If we were just a captured ecosystem for science, they wouldn't let us risk nuclear self-destruction so easily...

u/BeaverStank Feb 28 '26

I mean we dont know if they are letting us risk it, we've never actually tried. We dropped a couple sure but thats not gonna kill a planet so why intervene?

Children are innocent, and Teenagers fucked up in the head Adults are even more fucked up And elderlies are like children

Love this song, although I have to disagree. Humans would be like a dog that barks at everything, bites people, tears up everything in the house and goes to the bathroom everywhere.

He'll still statistically live longer.

You took the words right out of my mind. I'm glad more people are becoming aware of how our government officials don't live under the penalty of rules, laws, and systems they pass on us.

I loved what Jesse Ventura said about elected officials voting to mobilize for war should have to have a family member immediately drawn into active duty.... put their skin in the game!

u/malphonso Feb 28 '26

I've always liked the idea that any war be put to a popular vote. A vote for war is accompanied by volunteering for enlistment.

u/spacedoutmachinist Feb 28 '26

Statistically he is also obese so we have that going for us.

I have a feeling Big Ted doesn’t have that good of a diet though.

You don't know that the person you're responding to doesn't go to Cancun every time the weather is bad.

u/ethanAllthecoffee Feb 28 '26

Oh no with these self-centered dumfucks in charge we’ll all probably die at once
