Is age 50 when it’s “fair game” for terminal cancer / massive heart attack

Before 50 people think “how young, there but for the grace of God go I”. But after 50 is lumped with “50 and above” and no one thinks you got gypped out of life, maybe it was just a little early.
Thoughts? |

For so many people that counterexamples are inconsequential, the answer is "nothing." Olds should just die |

Date: June 21st, 2026 10:16 AM Author: Fucking Fuckface It would be better if olds just died. Kids would grow up faster, parents would be incentivized to mentor and prepare their children more, and we wouldn't have boomer-driven housing crisis and wealth-theft crisis. This is how life was for quite a long time
Sure, you'd have some olds here and there who beat the odds and helped out, and that's fine. But the pendulum has swung way too far in that direction, and now olds are treating their families and children like pets |

Date: June 21st, 2026 12:43 PM Author: Fucking Fuckface I think that about everyone I don't closely know. To do otherwise is kind of hypocritical
People, including babies, are dying somewhere around the world at any given moment. If I'm not broken up about that despite knowing it's going on, why should it be any different just because there's an article with someone's name or picture or whatever in it? Or a neighbor or a coworker or something?
For people I know closely, it really depends on the type of person they are and what they seem to be doing to those around them

Date: June 21st, 2026 12:37 PM Author: Richard Ames Agree with this. Far more dependent on the person and how well they took care of themselves (or didn’t.) For healthy people who have built a real life, I think it’s viewed as tragic if they are under 60. If they’re a fat slob mess, it’s viewed very differently.
