    Deathrace Form Guide #10 diego Continues to like every post despite frequent uproar. Personally, I have nothing against that, it just seems a wee bit pointless if the website already keeps track of unread content for one. However, others disagree. Will diego give in to the peer pressure protecting them from sanction? Will their account see the coming year? Will they outlast it?

    No change on the last 40 years then, what about his health?

    That could have gone into the ideas and possibilities thread and we also have a Nobel Prize thread.

    Was trending today on french Twitter but couldn’t find out Why. Anyway here is a somehow « new » picture of him. Seems to be weelchair bound and have lost some weight even on his latest journal de bord from 5 days ago, he seems frailer than on the previous one from the 22/10. I wouldn’t drop him next year, seems to be degrading.

    George Booth (wiki), prominent cartoonist with the New Yorker magazine, supposedly dead at 96. Edit doesn't look like vandalism, but there's nothing on their site yet (I suppose it is still the middle of the night in the States though, so maybe in 12 hours there will be). Mentioned once before in the Happy birthday thread by @Hell.

    I can't fathom how much of his time he's wasted liking over 6000+ posts which seemingly happens 24/7. Does he ever sleep? Fascinating creature. I want him to post a selfie.

    Deathrace Form Guide #12 Harrison Ruffin Tyler A long time ago, a forgotten 19th-century US president had a shag in his final years. A son came out of it, and said son too had a shag in his final years. The end result is Harrison Ruffin Tyler, doddering on as a living relic of history. Now has no memories of his grandpa due to suffering from dementia. And the whole "died 66 years before he was born" thing.

    Health-related tweet by him: https://mobile.twitter.com/THEJamesWhale/status/1587524499137855489 He seems to follow my former B-Team pick John Dabell. I dont really think that Dabell is going to get anywhere near an obit.

    I would say Georgia Holt is more famous than Bill Gates Dad. I remember her being interviewed by Clive James alongside Jackie Stallone and she has been a guest on Drag Race

    I agree 100%. I'd imagine at least 2 out of those 5 don't make it though

    I don't find it annoying as much as it just confuses me. Why would you need to react to a post to know you have read it? Can't you remember you read it? And wouldn't you just need to mark the most recent post?

    Pope Benedict XVI, Jimmy Carter, Henry Kissinger, Bob Barker and Leslie Phillips feels like a decent top 5 for 2023 IMO if they are still alive untill new year. I wrote them down in non-specific order also.

    Deathrace Form Guide #13 Carolyn Bryant Donham The woman partially responsible for the lynching of Emmett Till back in 1955, and one of the few remaining "villains" of the civil rights era. There have been recent attempts to bring her to justice, but it has also been reported that she had cancer and was receiving end-of-life hospice care at the beginning of August.

    Deathrace Form Guide #11 Takamiyama Daigorō My yearly Sumo-related suggestion for your lists. Born Jesse James Wailani Kuhaulua in Maui, Hawaii, Takamiyama Daigorō is a sumo wrestler known for being one of the first foreign sumo wrestlers and the first foreign-born Sumo wrestler to win the top division championship in July '72. He even received a congratulatory letter from POTUS Richard Nixon, read out by the US Ambassador to Japan. He broke a ton of other records in Sumo too, one example being that he was the first foreign-born wrestler ever to take charge of a training stable in 1986, but his probably most interesting record was that he was the first sumo wrestler to weigh over 200kg/450lbs. As shown in the picture, during his sumo days his trademarks were his sideburns and bright orange Mawashi (Sumo loincloth) and due to his appearance and traits he became a widely known figure in Japan even to those who did not follow Sumo wrestling. In 2009 he reached the Sumo Association's mandatory retirement age of sixty-five and handed over the running of his stable to Ushiomaru Motoyasu (1978-2019). Now 78, Takamiyama Daigorō is quite ancient for a sumo wrestler and needed two sticks to walk when he attended Ushiomaru Motoyasu's funeral in 2019. He was rumored to be in declining health in 2010 and social media rumors say he has lost a ton of weight this year.

    Deathrace Form Guide #9 Ruth Buzzi The Laugh-In comedienne was born in Rhode Island, which is in fact not an island and was the last of the 13 colonies to ratify the U.S. constitution. Keep in mind that if you pick her to 23 skidoo in '23 she might hit you over the head with her purse.

    You're asking a whole userbase, that have been here for years, to accommodate a new user by expecting them to all ignore your odd habit. Is there not an ounce of you that thinks you're being selfish or unreasonable? FYI I find your strange behaviour fascinating rather than irritating. Keep liking posts for all I care, just be aware if you continue you're not doing to be well liked. EDIT: I'm aware I'm probably wasting my breath posting this as it will be translated with a convoluted response. It's worth a try!

    Seriously, I think I speak for most on here when I say this diego user is fucking annoying with his constant liking of historical posts. Can daily reactions be limited again?

    I'm getting a tad irritated by this 'Diego' c*nt constantly reacting to my posts, even if they were posted fucking years ago. My piss is being boiled. Now 'like' this one, Diego, you wanker.
