consider the likelihood that taylor swift will predecease you

I have considered this.

what u thinking markers?

also omg so sorry for the size of that image :(

the video is my answer

she'll be the last one left

ban nilmar

in case you all didn't know, i feel like i should mention that she has the same birthday as tom delonge

60-70% - women live longer than men, and she's a few years younger than me, but it seems like her lifestyle may be quite stressful

really depends when she starts her drug habit

Please let me know when the "consider the likelihood that betty white will predecease you" poll goes up. Make me feel young.

don't see her having a 'druggy phase'

She was born 2 years (minus 2 days) after me so she only barely has an advantage in terms of age. She almost definitely lives a more stressful life than me but she seems a lot healthier -- I have a chronic illness and I don't know if my liver can ever fully recover from the shit I put it through in the first half of my twenties -- so I'm gonna say 80-90%.

if someone here is willing to just assassinate taylor swift it will make this easier, also will improve ilx

not if markers gets so sad he stops posting

well someone's gonna have to post youtube on the rip thread

i was born the same year as taylor swift, and i ate kale today so... i'm not going anywhere.

It's really unlikely that I would survive her, unless she has some sort of Aaliyah style accident.

her middle name is Alison? I didn't know that.

is that an 80-90% chance that she'll predecease you, or that you'll predecease her? I think you have it backwards.

(also, damn dude :( hope you're treating yourself better these days)

Taylor Allison, I know this world is killing u.

I voted 10-20% because I'm a man and I'm 1.5 years older than Taylor, but that was before I researched her life:

http://familypedia.wikia.com/wiki/Taylor_Alison_Swift_(1989)

she doesn't seem to have great genes -- both grandmothers died at 73/74. maybe she'll take after her 96-year-old great-grandma Bernice, and maybe they'll find a cure for whatever her grandmothers died of (unless they suffered from an incurable illness called "tour bus crash"), but I definitely have the advantage in terms of family history. on the other hand, I'm a miserable fuck whereas she seems to live life to the fullest, and she's rich enough and determined enough to get top-notch medical treatment if something goes wrong. I'd put the odds at 20-30% if I could vote again.

i've always had a strong, intuitive feeling that i will live past the age of 100, but maybe this is just, like, a youthful sense of immortality.

Not only am i confident of outliving her, i'm calling cause- disembowelled in freak corsetry malfunction at vma 2021

i think taylor's noted glue sniffing habit is going to catch up to her eventually. someone needs to tell her that ruining her health is NOT. PUNK.

Its ok her ppl make sure the cap always stays on

it is unlikely that i would have to live in such a diminished world

is that an 80-90% chance that she'll predecease you, or that you'll predecease her? I think you have it backwards.

haha yeah I did; in my deliberation I forgot how exactly the question was being phrased. I meant 10-20%. WHOOPS!

I am imagining a brief moment of nursing home clarity when I hear the news & try to persuade my carer to bump this thread on my behalf

i don't like taylor swift at all, but it is bumming me out to contemplate her death.

Premortem melancholia is a murky sadness

lol ogmor

good actuarial work unregd

The only way she's turning off the lights before I depart is accident, mischief, or really early disease. < 10%

on the other hand, I'm a miserable fuck whereas she seems to live life to the fullest

kinda seems to me like the miserable fucks live the longest?

i think the "longevity gap" between the genders is cultural/lifestyle related, for the most part. also, according to this study, it's closing. http://www.nbcnews.com/id/47466204/ns/health-mens_health/t/american-men-finally-closing-longevity-gender-gap/#.UWjbF4JAsbU i still expect to outlive taylor swift even though i'm slightly older than her. i know the trend on this thread has been to be self-deprecating about your health, but really, i feel amazing.

I already beat out Allyiah, don't see why I can't best TS too.

that's the spirit. i feel like people should look at outliving taylor swift as a goal for health/fitness motivation.

xp oops Aalyiah sry

at this point I should just stop trying to spell it w/o c/p

that's how i feel about paavoharju

Taylor Swift will live forever

that's the spirit. i feel like people should look at outliving taylor swift as a goal for health/fitness motivation.

right

I don't see that it matters. Taylor along with everything else will cease to exist when I do.

we'll keep you alive forever then

you can count on us

The 35 year age difference between us is likely to prove decisive here.

Juliet will out last myself, her Romeo, by 30-60 seconds.

she's almost five years younger than me and men in my family don't tend to make it far beyond 50, i think she has the upper hand here. :/

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I'm eight years older and have never had health insurance, with little chance of having it soon in a useful form - 5% chance I outlive her at best.

Is she one of these pop princesses who duz the drugs?

i think this would be a more interesting question if you asked whether or not taylor swift would postdecease you

surprised markers hasn't said 'at the same time' yet

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

i feel like people should look at outliving taylor swift as a goal for health/fitness motivation.

It's possible. If she lives to the average U.S. female life expectancy of 78.7, I will only need to make it to 99 to outlive her. Not even triple digits -- totally doable.

likelihood or fervent wish

assuming you are a 45-year-old American man, tipsy, you have about a 3.1% chance of making it to 99 (http://www.ssa.gov/oact/NOTES/as120/LifeTables_Tbl_7_1970.html)

Taylor Swift, as a 25-year-old American woman, has about a 72.6% chance of making it to 79 (http://www.ssa.gov/oact/NOTES/as120/LifeTables_Tbl_7_1990.html)

actuarially speaking, you don't stand a chance

the popularity of taylor swift's music is likely to predecease taylor swift the human.

probability that Taylor Swift will predecease me approaches 1 at the same time (& from the opposite direction) as does the number of remaining parachutes/lifevests/etc -- sorry taylor, your music has brought happiness to many people but you're no Archers of Loaf

I don't see that it matters. Taylor along with everything else will cease to exist when I do.

Would think she would have access to whatever super advanced anti-aging tech but that's more a class issue.
