This doesn’t upset me because there’s no way I live that long
see. everyone does that. no problemo I will just die. but you don't die. you just live more and more horribly.
Yeah but men in my family don’t get too old.
my guess to is we are coming past a hump on longevity. At least for the masses in the us.
What are the cultural imperatives and protocols when your roommate dies? Do you host a wake for him, in the apartment you're about to be evicted from, since his name was on the lease?
Imagine suddenly being forced to move, at the tender age of 69, when you're poor enough to require a roommate.
