my understanding was that her birth date and age was quite verified. also, a Japanese person lived to 119…Okinawan, I think.

too few people mention number of sexual partners, sharing food, shaking hands, and other ways of spreading germs mammal to mammal (include the human mammal). An overweight family member who didn’t have the best diet - though it wasn’t the worst - amazed me by living to age 95. She didn’t do well at allllll in her last 5 years, but still…I was sure she’d die by 80. I think having slept with only one man, being a germaphobe and neat-nik, and being a stay-at-home mother for many years helped keep her from the germs that can cause aging and lead to disease. Her only exercise was cleaning and running after kids and walking briskly room to room to make sure everything was done right. She didn’t like the outdoors at all and didn’t worry about her figure.

have you not seen the Greater IsraEl map? They plan to take farrrr more land, and will return nothing.

it certainly hurts Jews all over the world - many of whom are also against what is being done to Palestinians.

if their mouths are moving, they are lying. In their culture, getting people to believe your lies makes you a genius not a criminal or con man.

China says it will take Taiwan back and that means war, so China will need allies. It is a happy coincidence for China that Russia and Iran are having battles right now.

if it automatically goes to that website and the website downloads malware to your device, well, I wonder… Certainly trackers could be put on you that way. I am convinced that is why TAILS makes you go to their website before it allows you to go to the Dark Web or Tor.

well, most you here on Lemmy are liberal and make fun of preppers/doomers, but I wonder if you are seeing the light a bit now.

Is western media unbiased? Even WION is no longer as honest and impartial as it used to be - after Youtube temporarily froze their channel and scared them into submission.

Iran is my guess. Putin loves Europe - including Germany. Putin loves his people and white people. He is forced into this predicament and takes no joy in it. Russia has vast resources that others want. They also have new ports, sea routes, and highways - great new trade routes that threaten to affect western income.

more than a piece of land - its about securing their borders. NATO is danged-near surrounding them.

come see me and I’ll help you on your way to your permanent rest. better you than my loved ones or millions.

most westerners no longer live in reality. They make short poses for Facebook or Tiktok or Snapchat, they play video games for hours, they do anything to avoid researching both or all sides and to practice foresight, discipline, introspection. They numb themselves with constant convenience foods, porn, screentime of any sort, drugs, alcohol, etc. My hope for these warmongers are that they are forced to fight in the frontlines -even if they are female or 65 or have diabetes. Volunteering others to suffer isn’t “adulting”.

Many of us fear feeling too deeply. I’d guess that is why so many of us escape into things that take us away from reality: soap operas/entertainment TV; drugs, alcohol, other addictions such as promiscuous sex that could hurt us, gambling, compulsive shopping that ruins our finances, etc. An online friend introduced me to vippassanna and sent me a wonderful poetic one-page article about it (lost it) and that helped a lot. Taoism and stoicism has similar teachings or thinking. It helps.
