Beyond the obvious problem with conflating good with pretty

I don’t think pushing a person towards a more generic middle look makes them more attractive.

RIP dude.

God no. I had a 1967 mustang. Had to fix it every time I drove it, it drank gas like a gasoholic, everything was manual but in terms of life and cost, it was the most expense for the fewest miles and not reliable. Like even if it had been newly manufactured to the same specs it would not be reliable or safe or even fun to drive.

My brother, meanwhile, had a Corolla he kept for 300k miles without much maintenance.

I am still in my 2014 Honda, and expect to be able to use it for 10 more years. Now do I think the 2024 better than the 2014? Not really, most of what I want was already in this one, but modern cars are so much better built than vintage cars were.

Where I live they ran an interstate highway right through where the black business district was. Ripped through the middle of town. I hate that highway so much, they keep adding lanes too. Fucking racist twats and the effects reverberate to this day, no transit just more lanes because of handshake agreements between good ol’ boys in the 1960s.

Clinton is problematic as fuck, but holy shit the difference between reading this and the “your mom” outrageously stupid sounding bullshit the current admin puts out is so remarkable. I do so miss having smart people at the top. Say what you want about Clinton and Obama, at least both were wicked smart and able to communicate well.

Oh fuck that. I would get a second opinion. At least now you know to underplay it. “I think it’s working, yes. Sleeping better and feeling a little better, no side effects that are bothersome, this one seems good, thanks.”

I think that’s a no, once you are 40 or so. The whole face kind of drops (everyone, not just ladies, that’s why you see the bottom teeth when The Rock smiles now - being in great shape doesn’t change this) and if you fill the top lip it ends up looking sneery because the shape is wrong. You would have to get the whole expensive and brutal face lift to move everything up first.

On really young people it can work ok IMO.

And overall I agree that GOOD work you don’t really see, all the relentless skincare I do works but nothing will keep you from moving through time. Celebrities who just look good and like they haven’t had work done have had face-lifts.

I send the request and list the troubleshooting steps I have tried. Mostly so that they know it’s not frivolous but also to avoid duplicate work.

But so often those stupid steps work. Turn it off and back on. Uninstall and reinstall.
