He can only die if he uses up the finite amount of energy contained within his body from birth by doing things like exercising and using stairs. So he knows he will live for a long, long time.

Displaying him in a position where he appears to be a successful at anything is humor. I draw my own conclusions. Yeah gently caress him, but it's REALLY easy to make absurd fun of him. Must be genetic. :colbert:

Mark Zuckerberg sounded a warning on Friday about the social and political fragmentation caused by America’s opioid crisis, as he ended a nationwide tour to understand the forces that had put Donald Trump in the White House.

At one point the Facebook chief executive officer choked up as he talked about the effects of opioid addiction, adding: “This stuff is really upsetting to talk about.”

His comments followed a year in which he had promised to visit all corners of the US to get out of his normal “bubble”. The well-publicised visits around the country prompted speculation that Mr Zuckerberg was considering a future presidential bid, and while he has said he is not planning a run, he has not explicitly ruled it out in future.

In a discussion at the University of Kansas on Friday, the Facebook boss offered what amounted to a “State of the Union” commentary on what he had discovered about social conditions in the US.

Besides the devastating impact of the opioid epidemic — which he described as the single biggest surprise — he also highlighted the lost jobs and uncertainty caused by technology and free trade.

Referring to the opioid crisis, he said: “One of the things that struck me, that I don’t think we all fully internalise, is how this epidemic has affected people’s attitudes more broadly on policy issues.”

The effects of watching people they know succumb to addiction had made many Americans more fearful about crime and supporters of stronger border defences to stop drugs to come into the country, he suggested.

Meanwhile, referring to the impact of technological advances, he said: “We’re also starting to see they’ve left a lot of people behind. There’s a big gap in the country, and it’s getting bigger . . . I think that’s at the heart of a lot of the politically divisive debates that we have.”

The comments revealed a darker perspective compared to Mr Zuckerberg’s normally upbeat public discussions. But he still said he was optimistic that the issues that had caused the deep social divisions could be overcome, and that building stronger local communities was a key.

The Facebook founder was not challenged on the extent to which the social network had itself been to blame for the deepening social division or social fragmentation. It has come under intense fire in Washington for failing to block Russian attempts to influence last year’s election.

However, he repeated recent promises to make building stronger local communities Facebook’s main goal, and said that the company was intent on helping to prevent foreign influence in future elections.

Jesus Christ, of all the things how do you pick opioids as the cause of political fragmentation? Which isn't even what's happening, society isn't fragmenting it's polarizing. We do this every few decades, and it's very ugly, but I don't think opioids are the continuing cause.

Unless you want to argue that the chaos of the mid 1800s was opium and then heroin hosed us all up in the mid 1900s and now we're succumbing to that hard core oxy polarization. Which would be an interesting paper and all, but please don't try and pin it on the Chinese bringing their opium over and the African Americans swamping us in heroin followed by Mexican Oxy Cartels.

gently caress's sake Zuck you useless sack of spunk, opioids are a symptom of societal problems not a loving cause.

And I sincerely doubt he's got the first notion of how/why technology is changing the world, he's just a silicon valley tech bro so he assumes it to be so. If he was a farmer he'd be talking about how the state of the world's down to opioids and GMOs. I mean, I believe technology is a fundamental fulcrum of human society and yadda yadda but I'd like to think that conclusion is at least partly because I've read about it and thought about it and poo poo.

He's the oldest at time of election, but God Emperor Reagan was 77 when he shambled out of office. As for fattest, I'd argue that Donny is actually number one with a fried chicken wing.

Taft was only over 300 twice and spent most of his time around 250, which is about what Donny lies his weight to be. Taft was shorter though, being just 5'11''.

Edit:
Of course there's a history and chart nerd who made a graph of Taft's weight.

It feels like the act happened to someone else most of the time. My day to day life is normal but since people are mocking the #metoo people and others saying "why did it take so long?" Those things bring me closer to those moments I mostly forgot or buried within. It enrages me.
