I want politicians focused on who they can help more than who they can hurt. Like fundamentally, ignoring all of modern politics, thats what healthy societies are supposed to look like.
Systems develop independence in a sense. It needs to be accounted for because while better people can make things better, its harm reduction not problem solving. The destructive systems need altered or replaced
Is chewing redundant? The little swish of a nice beverage? Flirting is the game, it's half the fun. Sure the other parts are nourishing and wonderful too. But to flirt is to delight in such a primally human interaction.
If your facility requires 72 hours notice for an investigative drop by, crimes are happening there. And i know they know this because cops feel that way about your home.
Ok but all Americans benefit from affordable fresh fruits and vegetables. If they need subsidies they need subsidies, but if they get subsidies their workers shouldn't be impoverished and worked to the bone. We can take the money out of oil subsidies.
Yeah it will indiscriminately hurt Iranians and Americans and not our rulers. We were both already suffering under our leaders before the American government decided to go to war with Iran.
I've only seen the before and afters and I'm a lot more experienced in watching the psychic collapse of people getting more and more cosmetic surgeries than I am with specific procedures, and I'll acknowledge her behavior and the circles she runs in have biased me towards thinking suicide by thousand cuts rather than a few ill advised procedures having unfortunate effects and it not being worth it to try to undo.
If your theory is correct then I'm somewhat sympathetic to that scenario. Especially as its increasingly common for political commentators and figures to have work done.
I think it's more likely to be unregulated dysmorphia. Maybe they start with a bit to get the fox news look, but cut by cut wind up like that trying to fix every "flaw" with a procedure.
People getting hooked on cosmetic surgery looks really similar to how dysmorphic anorexics wind up.
Sometimes a surgeon can do an amazing job, and many will consistently do so. Much like how people can look much better by loosing weight. You probably couldn't tell if someone had their abdominal adipose tissue injected into their butt or breasts if it was done well and you didn't know. But then they're likely to decide it isn't enough.
Dealing with dysmorphia is hard. Changing to body neutral attitudes is hard. Seeing your body realistically is hard. I struggle with weight based dysmorphia myself and I know I possess the capacity to starve myself emaciated and still think I look fat because I have organs.
I find it ironic in a way, that Ms loomer is a transphobe who probably thinks we need therapy to deal with dysphoria, while being clearly at the mercy of her dysmorphia.
There's a question I've seen posed in some circles before: "Do you need a boob job, or do you need to read some feminist theory?" It's not meant to be accusative, the answer can be either and thats ok, but it's important to actually consider that your perspective of your body and of other bodies may be skewed before you surgically go changing things based on your insecurities. Even if you pick the boob job, you're more likely to go in with realistic goals and less likely to keep getting another procedure if you've seriously thought about it before.
It was long and slow and by the time it was clear what was happening it was well underway.
I'm someone who grew up in ohio as it happened and it was subtle. But we eventually passed constitutional amendments banning gerrymandering, but congress ignored us. And as it happened bit by bit we left. I stayed until it was clearly about to get unsafe for folks like me (I left a few months ago), and democrats are still fighting there. But political polarization is strong and a lot of coastal Republicans have moved in because its nearly impossible for them to lose there at this point in anything except single issue votes on constitutional amendments
Bad labeling and artificial insemination I'd have to assume.
