The good die young
Dick Cheney if he were anyone else would be dead but he has access to a rather unique combination of billionaire wealth, US govt executive branch VIP privileges, deep military industrial connections, and access to bleeding edge DARPA tech. Guy literally holds the world record for time spent living without a heart. Spent something like a year without one. The resources and expertise expended on keeping him alive have been ridiculous.
I don't believe the soul resides in the physical heart, but it does say a lot that we have a former vice president who was heartless in literally every sense of the word.
Like that's some cliche writing right there.
bro had his first heart attack at 37, lmao
I know people smoked more back then, but shit
IIRC, the canonical james bond of the ian fleming novels smoked like 70 cigarettes a day...
idk, 3 packs was a seriously light day when i was a smoker
i think this one is just gonna depend on what kind of scene you're in tbh
I've never smoked myself so I have no idea how much is considered a lot, and three packs sounded like a lot to me
it actually probably is on average, i think i'm just being annoying
like realistically if each one of those cigarettes takes you 3-5 minutes to smoke you're spending hours a day smoking, which is pretty much only attainable if you're going out every single night or you're someone whose job is to sit in meeting rooms and get plastered all day
Confirmed: Dick Cheney made a phylactery
Thank Obama for giving all former presidents, past and present, indefinite secret service protection until death. Otherwise most of these people would be chilling with like 1 security guard and someone could’ve done something funny by now. But luckily other people in the government don’t get that privilege. The lawyer who wrote the torture memos is currently teaching law at Berkley lol
