      Oh man that’s horrifying. The diagram pictures eeesh! Not to mention how shady it is to just hit up some foreign account over Instagram for something so potentially dangerous to your health.

      Ah, the Hollywood anchorman smile, or cheap car salesman smile. Creepy AF.

      In Dutch there’s a saying “wie mooi wil gaan moet pijn doorstaan”, translated “who wants to go pretty needs to endure pain”. But these days with all the botox, bleaching, fillers, lifters, etc it’s more like “endure pain to become a plastic toxic nightmare”.

        It used to mean that for getting buff or just some hair removal. But yeah. Body dismorphia is actively promoted because it makes money.

          Yeah the marketing ghouls have worked out that making people feel scared, angry, and sad means they’re more likely to impulsively pay for stuff they don’t need in a panic or out of desperation.

          Funny thing is it used to be trying to get the consumer into a happy and relaxed state so they felt they could depart with some of their disposable income to “treat themselves”.

          Now that more consumers don’t have disposable income, they’re leaning more heavily into preying on insecurities and fears.
