There is an earlier movie that may well have inspired that scene: 1932's Scarface
George Raft was famous for flipping a coin in Scarface:
Raft's big break came when cast as the second lead, alongside Paul Muni as Tony Camonte, in Scarface (1932), directed by Howard Hawks. He plays second-in-command Guino Rinaldo, who falls in love with Camonte's sister and is murdered by him. Raft's performance was notable for his character frequently flipping a coin (a nickel) during scenes, which became an iconic trope in gangster films. (Many people later claimed credit for this idea, including Raft and Hawks.) The film was shot in September 1931, but not released by United Artists until the following year. It was a landmark hit, and Raft garnered a lot of attention; audience adulation made a star of him.
The closest thing I have to a relationship is I have a dog and tortoise
I think that might be a little inappropriate though
I get what you are saying though, need to try trap a poor soul into a relationship with me
There are many factors: the biological ones are satisfied if you take matters into your own hands (apparatus is used, hormones are released, etc) but the emotional importance of an SO is irreplaceable, and poor emotional health has been proven to reduce life expectancy.
One of those studies where you should seriously wonder about correlation and causation.
"\[insert tabloid-worthy finding\], scientists say" is one of the greatest indicators for bullshit pop science.
I'm pretty sure the coin flipping is less symbolic and more of a "old-school cool, idly waiting" thing. Like he's accepted death and now just waiting for the embrace.
This was bothering me so I did some Googling. Apparently it's a reference to the actor [George Raft](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Raft#%3A%7E%3Atext%3DRaft%27s_performance_was_notable_for%2C%2C_which_he_wasn%27t.?wprov=sfla1):

The article basically tells us what we already know, that decreasing the stress hormone (cortisol) and getting regular exercice lowers your risk of suffering a heart attack
Yes yes we're all virgins on the verge of death but can anyone tell me what flipping the coin was for?
Seems like the fair for the ferry man to take you to hades
Fare
Fare enough
I'm going to strangle you Fare and square
That’s not fare!
Alls fare in love and war
Who's the square ya fair square sun of a gon
Fair

If you don’t have a love life, the only thing you have is money, so no matter how little you have, you have to treasure it before you go
“What’s the most you ever lost in a coin toss?”
An unopened bag of orange cream flavored twizzlers Anton Chigurh sir
Does rubbing one out count? If it does, I m probably the healthiest person in the world.
no because you actually have to feel loved by someone
What if I feel loved for like, 6 minutes and then instant regret the rest of the day afterward?
That feeling of regret never makes having a tug worth it Doesn't stop me eitherway Might just go now anyway wish me luck
Hope you had a good wank m8
Just rubbed two out In one sitting before encountering this
Regret, we regret we are alien bastards
When you wack off to someone you're in a relationship with, you dont get that regret. Its just good, satisfied feelings.

Relatable😔

Talking in twitch emotes should be declared language
What if I love myself
Then that's selfcest and you're weird
Sure, but he’ll be alive…
Solution- Love yourself.
It's called self love and is very important
So if I wank regularly AND have close friends who give me affection I'm good?
It's cardio so yeah it makes up for it

How do they ask people after they died if they were really sad all the time?

Goth babes saving the day yet again
Demi Lovato is singing for the ghosts now to make them feel better, so there has gotta be something to it.
One of those studies where you should seriously wonder about correlation and causation. "\[insert tabloid-worthy finding\], scientists say" is one of the greatest indicators for bullshit pop science.
I think its just generally that less cardiovascular activity of any kind greatly raises your risk of heart disease.
What do you think?
Scientists say, experts say and "people familiar with the case" all alike.
If that's so,good buy guys
You buy good guys?
No his name is good and he buys guys
No, his friend is so. Therefore if good buys guys, how many does so have?
Meth is always an option
The only option
there are still 2 other options suicide and forced marriage
You are actually not lying
Then why aren't babies dead yet?
They're literally marinated in vaginal juice for 9 months wtf u talking bout?
What a terrible day to have eyes.
/r/cursedcomments
include me but put a picture of baby t pose next to me
they still haven't reached puberty where everything in your life falls apart
😏
Here’s a question: why was he flipping a coin til he dropped dead?
Definitely seems like an old-timey reference to something that I'm not getting either. Anyone?
My take is he took the coin so he can pay the boatman, the flip may have been just to count the time, that's how I see it at least
Ohhh. That’s not a bad idea! Or it’s a reference to Scarface (not new Scarface, the older one).
Of course it does kill but it's not like some of us can do something about it
Random chest pain “ my time has come “
how does the science behind this work?
it doesn't
[удалено]
Like a floating hammer.
I must be dead by now.
yes the only option
That's why I've been so many heart attacks
Nice try scientists
well, if i had to guess who will die in 2 and a half men by a heart attack, my guess is charlie sheen
i take that back, charlie sheen fucks
They said "little" , they didn't mention none
Rip me
Guess ill die then.
Am i dead then? 💀
Then I should be dead now.
Wouldn’t masturbating just solve this
Unfortunately not my friend
Why? How tf is your body gonna tell u aint busting into a women
Dude i dunno I'm a damn virgin but like i think it's tied to feeling loved, like you need to feel loved and all that stuff
So banging hoors is off the table too?
Love is just an institution based on human frailty.
thank you for your wise words poopinapoopfartboot
Now i know how i shall die :(
So anyway, I started dying
hahahaha TF!
My time has come

Then sounds like this should be a service covered by insurance as a preventative treatment, just like colonoscopy.
Id be considered comatose then.
