RIP my guy

@mattdamon

Heard of this guy back in the day, he was nothing but trouble. Why do men like these live so long while the good guys die young.

@mrmiyamoto

And nothing of value was lost. A good podcast on some of his antics in life is Bunga Bunga:

I feel he's lived a life worth living. Guy built his empire from scratch and I respect that.

@eyesofgod reply

He built it using mafia money and by making laws for himself, that's nothing to be proud of.

Italian here, today is a good day.

@wionna

Is this a normal age to die in Italy? Anytime I hear about some italian dying it’s always some super high number. Usually in the 90’s

@eyesofgod reply

Mediterranean diet probably plays a part in the age, this man was also obscenely rich so thats also a factor at play.

@bhai reply

Are you from Italy? What's your daily diet like?

@eyesofgod reply

Alot of pasta, veggies and fruit, extra vergin olive oil, meat and fish rarely (mostly go for legumes for protein), this stemmed from the fact that the Mediterranean diet was the poor people diet so they did not have access to that stuff daily.
