The only reason you'd not have an autopsy at that point is if you're actually 99 but have been pretending to be 122.
or if your family have any personal reason to be against dissecting you. if they don't have that same curiosity, they wouldn't find any purpose to cutting her body open to remove her organs and such to study them. there's more to an autopsy than just taking a peek inside. again, there doesn't seem to be any evidence of ANY reason for them to have done this, and there is essentially no reason to doubt this other than a random russian researcher who presented coincidental evidence that it could have plausibly occurred. the problem is, without any kind of motive, there's no reason for me to believe it over the more likely explanation that it was simply a lucky person.

so far i have not been presented any actual evidence that this WAS done, only that it technically would have been possible, even though there's no real purpose to doing so. the family was already rich, and i'm not sure what tax obligations they'd dodge by not telling anyone one of the two people responsible for their money was dead. it's not like the man of the house was dead. this is a very important part of it to me. i acknowledge that it could have been done, but i don't believe there's any evidence that it was done, and the next oldest person only died 3 years earlier than she did, so it's not like her age of 122 is significantly more notable as a super-centenarian than any other. anyway, i've shat up the thread about this lady enough so i'm done after this, but i don't believe there was any actual motivation to do this shown, proven, or even implied other than simple guesses as to why, and she was just one of those random people whose genes and environment were perfect for a very long life, the final 20 or so years of which she suffered significant physical decline similar to other super-centenarians.

Yeah, I can tell it's not going to last forever; recently, I nearly burned through $100 within an hour on gas and food from Winn Dixie (that was with me deliberately looking for sales in the store and using my membership to get discounts). That leads into the question of what is it going to be replaced with when it eventually does collapse? All of us are going to be in big, big trouble when it does, and it wouldn't surprise me if we're in a soft depression right now. - What the US has right now cannot be fixed at this point by voting your way out of it, or by some other means that are currently in place.

EDIT: Would also like to apologize for deliberately escalating slap fights in this thread last night and making things worse by reviling people back. Not a good thing to do for more reasons than one.
An open secret at this point is that the Great Recession never truly ended for all but the rich. Whats the point of line going up if most of the gains go to kikes and other international elites at the top 1% at the expense of the average American? Wages have been mostly stagnant since the 70s yet CEO salaries keep increasing even as CEOs themselves become more out of touch and incompetent.

You got any more details on this? I am interested to hear more
 
Do we need a new version of Godwin’s Law? “Everyone who doesn’t want every discussion to be “da joooooooooooooos” is a kike?”
What's the equivalent version where jews call everyone not supporting their ethnostate brown or a groyper like you've done multiple times?
 
I can't comprehend the mass stupidity that has inflicted our country. Im not even talking about people leaning left, all my moderate left friends voted trump because they've been pushed out of the party by purity tests. I'm just perplexed that a huge mass of people have let fear mongering and virtue signaling completely control their minds.
There has been a consistent dumbing down of America for at least a century. The average person doesn't seem to know even basic stuff anymore. Cashiers don't know how to add up quarters, dimes, and nickels to give change when you pay cash. Store employees can't do basic math for discounts. Most people rely on autocorrect to spell properly.

It wasn't always like this, though. A nifty piece of history is the Bullitt County Eighth Grade Examination from 1912. In addition to basics like spelling, reading, and arithmetic, there was even a section on Civil Government. How many high school graduates today would actually be able to complete this test? My guess is not many. And this was for 8th grade.

I’m sorry, you were expected to DRAW long-dead colonial figures? Were you graded on how Dutch Peter Stuyvesant looked?
 
How much you wanna bet Trump's approval rating craters after this? Not that it matters much, his entire administration lost all credibility in my eyes when he outright said he would import 500,000 Chinese immigrants to take our jobs.
OMGGGGGGGG @Fatpacks HIIIIIIII

Can you say Trump will never abolish income tax for me pretty please? 🥺
 
Sweaty we have no kings in America but they didn’t say nothin about queens 💅

Is this based on reality or what you wish were true? I can’t see Trump voters looking at a younger and more articulate representative of the MAGA movement and being like, no he’s not old and boomery on Twitter enough, pass. Hell I’ve been ready to vote for him since the VP debate.
I have a boomer relative who voted for Trump 3 times and is very pro-Vance.
After the VP debate they even opened up the conversation by asking "How'd our guy do during the debate?"
Very rapidly "our guy" came to be used to mean Vance in our conversations after that.
 
It's their last hurrah, but as I noted during the protest of a couple months ago, it reminds me of the Civil War reunions with the old doddering vets putting on their uniforms one last time to shake a Rebel's or Yankee's hand.
Oliver Wendell Holmes—one of the most famous justices of the Supreme Court and pretty well-liked by liberals—was a Civil War veteran who fought with the regiment formed out of Harvard students/grads and well-off types in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He was wounded multiple times, including having been shot in the neck. And he made friends with a Confederate war veteran he met, writing letters for years afterwards and engaging in friendly banter about the war.

The faux conception that modern leftists have about the Civil War is retarded and insulting. The truth is that they don't really care because history only exists in service of their political goals. That's why leftists are so willing to twist history (or even eliminate it entirely) if it allows them to control the present. It's not like that's a new observation. It's literally the core of Orwell's 1984.
