    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 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.

        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.

    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.

      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.

        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.

        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.

        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.

        Walking really helps my mental health. To be fair I live near the beach so it very relaxing.

      • 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.

        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

      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.

        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.

          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.

            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.

    I don’t get this obsession with having no facial lines on your face.

    Dimples used to be seen as cute.

    I’ve had lines on my forehead since I was a kid and it helps people read my expression. It’s not a flaw.

    Now it’s fill and paralyze the face .

    How is this so popular?
