Botox is a performance enhancing drug for liars.
I still fully believe someone did this all as a joke, people fell for it and plastic surgeons or just laughing their asses off all the way to the bank
the 2 on the left look fine tho?
That’s the “before” photos
It’s always really scary.
Who are these 4 different people? /s
That’s Billy the puppet, not Jigsaw.
the others are the patients, not the surgeons (who made them look this way)
To be fair, that happens for both sides.
Embrace equality, hate everyone equally!!!
The Laura Loomer one especially frustrates me. She was infinitely more attractive before she had all that work done :/
Nothing special either way about her appearance before, but Megan Fox was legitimately one of the most beautiful women alive. Though I don’t think she did it for Trump’s approval at least (she started pretty early with the first boob job), I suspect it was her own insecurity and I’m not going to be judgemental of that, we’ve all got our issues.
It could just be that I can’t separate her from the ugliness of her character but, personally, I think she was ugly before and after.
Yeah it’s probably that, because she was stunning.
“Frustrates” is a curious word choice…
For a male example that “Clavicular” guy was very attractive before his surgeries too. I think there’s something beautiful in people accepting and loving who they are already so all this elective surgery stuff gives me the ick.
Yes, because it means she couldn’t see how beautiful she already was and that’s frustrating to me when I think about it.
it’s often the social bubble they live/work in that peer pressures them into this.
No way #3 turned into #4 I cannot believe it.
My half-baked theory is that many right-wingers don’t have any sense of aesthetics at all. Instead, they perceive signifiers. Which is why so many of them like ugly tacky garbage, as long as it looks shiny and new and expensive.
Plastic surgery can be a signifier – if it’s obvious plastic surgery. That’s where “Mar-a-Lago Face” comes from.
Would explain why right wing art is always garbage, and they can’t make music for shit
PSA: if you want to age well:
-
wear sunscreen
-
eat fruits and veg, avoid sugar as much as you can
-
do some form of cardio(walking is perfectly fine, you just want to get your heart going)
-
Do some form of resistance training.(calisthenics, lift a litre bottle)
-
Sleep around 7 to 8 hrs
You’ll not only be the hottest 60 or 70 year old, you’re quality of life won’t degrade much.
“you are quality of life won’t degrade much.”
Words hard, apparently.
Me talk pretty one day
First, these ladies aren’t doing anti aging surgeries, they are doing “have a different face” surgeries.
Second, the only way to win at the “wOmeN sHouLd jUSt aGe GrAceFullY” bullshit is to know that there is no winning.
You will be accused of “letting yourself go” or “getting too much work done.” Period. There are like 12 women in the world at any given time who will age in a way that is aesthetically pleasing to the majority, and you probably won’t be one of them.
So pick which you are more comfortable with and do what ever the fuck you want.
Not medical advice, but a suggestion of easy things to ask your doctor to check for if you have insomnia, and inexpensive to address if they are the culprit: taking taking B12 and D supplements gave me (back?) my ability to sleep. I’ve never slept better in my life.
i do most of those things, and i will also add dont smoke, dont drink, and take estrogen. but you can pry sugar from my cold dead hands. whats the point of living a long time and staying young if you cant even enjoy yourself?
Sugar is unkind to you in so many ways. Ignoring it’s negative impact eventually catches up with most people, some worse than others.
I thought all the fuss about it and carbs was silly and over-stated myself, but my thoughts and feeling didn’t change the consequences. I’ve learned better now but wish I could go back in time and tell myself what was coming so I could change my behavior sooner.
Also not sure what the connection is there. Sugar is bad for you if you’re diabetic, but doesn’t itself directly lead to ill health - the effect is via obesity.
My mental health is too poor to be able to do any of those.
Just gotta start. Its hard I know but once you go, its easier.
Thank you
“Have you tried not being depressed?”
For fucks sake they acknowledged the difficulty of getting started.
Yeah that’s the hard part…
One of my favourite one-off characters from any show
This false narrative that you’re helpless to try when depressed needs to end, its needlessly self limiting. The only reason my life is good now is because I took steps I had to that i didnt want to. People can encourage others and we can recognise how difficult it is at the same time, they are not mutually exclusive.
The advice works, but only if you have the strength to do it and not everyone does.
Realize that some of these aren’t just decisions you have to get right every day (like walking every day), they’re decisions you have to get right 86400 times a day. If you crave junk food, you don’t just decide “I’ll stop eating it”, you have to make that decision every second of every day, because if you slip once, you’re fucked.
I got out of severe depression by trying and keeping at it to do these things I didn’t even believe could help me anymore. Surprise, they did. Yes it took long and was hard. But it is possible to do even a little bit.
The part telling me I can’t do it and saying I shouldn’t even try cus I won’t do it anyways, that is part of the depression too. It is self sustaining.
In my mind the trick that worked was: if everything is shit no matter what, if I hate every second anyways no matter what I do, if nothing will change how miserable I am, then taking a short walk won’t change anything for the worse either, not to any significant degree anyways.
That way bit by bit my absolute apathy tricked itself into doing things because it didn’t matter either way. And slowly shit got tiny bits better.
Believe me, I know what it’s like. But taking baby steps can help
Walking really helps my mental health. To be fair I live near the beach so it very relaxing.
I’ve had major depressive for most of my adult life. No rhyme or reason for it, just shit brain chemistry. Finding the right medication and walking or cycling really helps.
For me, Desvenlafaxine was the right meds for me, your mileage will almost certainly vary though.
I feel you there. I’ve had periods of time where motivation in general was easier and thus I could more easily feel up to taking a walk, and that almost always made me feel better. It truly sucks when you don’t feel able to find the motivation. And I’m not trying to make it sound easy, but if you force yourself on occasion to do small exercises like walking, you’re more likely to find your way back to the place when you’re automatically motivated.
Been there. And, my physical health precludes it sometimes too.
Nothing I can say will help, but you ain’t alone, you aren’t the only one, and if you ever do have a day when you can do that kind of self care, don’t beat yourself up if/when you have the next one where you can’t.
We all gotta get by as best we can, and nobody gets out alive.
My depression, gives me insomnia. My insomnia gives me anxiety and worsens my depression. Be your own best friend and go easy on yourself. You wouldn’t let others talk to your friends like you talk to yourself. On good days, make sure you do all those things. On days you don’t feel like, push to do as many as you can and know it’s ok if you don’t. On bad days, acknowledge your wins of getting out of bed and brushing your teeth if that’s all you could accomplish. You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to keep going and get back to it.
Oof, I don’t have friends. The friends I did have years ago were terrible, though, I don’t miss them.
Action precedes motivation. If you wait to be motivated, actions won’t happen. Even if it’s starting small like brushing your teeth, or any act of self care or hygiene that makes you feel better physically
Alright, now solve that for executive dysfunction

Station!
what a beauty!
I don’t think that’s really fair to megan fox if I’m honest.
I mean there’s a conversation to be had about what she looked like in her early 20s and how much better she would have looked if she had have aged gracefully since then, but I think it would be tough to find a photo of her looking like this.
You’ve also probably never seen a photo of Megan Fox from when she was young that wasn’t heavily edited to make her as attractive as possible.
Yes, that’s true.
I thought this was 4 different people. I was trying to figure out what was wrong with the ones on the left!! Holy shit, that’s horrible.
Seriously, I thought they were all different. That’s just some depressing mental illness… Why destroy such beautiful faces like that… They were already really attractive now they’re… Not.
It’s a social status thing. They have the money and influence to look like ghouls on purpose.
Wait they’re the same person??? Yikes!
Nah left is original, right post-surgery. Two ladies. Megan Fox and… I forget the other one at the bottom.
I think Megan looks fine BTW… Just did this think called aging, not necessarily botched surgery.
That is not aging, it is botched surgery.
Have you seen her in the new Ro commercials? I thought the commercial featured a Kardashian the first time I saw it. Doesn’t appear to just be aging.
Also, I’m pretty sure the woman on the bottom is Laura Loomer.
Darn… I thought the same. Didn’t realize that was Megan Fox!
I don’t really run into ads so no.
All I’m saying is I’ve seen many beautiful ladies age with a very similar change in facial structure from Megan’s before and after photos at top in 20 years (and yeah, it’s semi-shockingly been ~20 years between those photos).
P. S. Yeah you’re right Laura Loomer. That’s definitely surgery on her, much larger change and shorter time-scale.
