b-but nail art is fun

As Radfem as I wanted to be, unfortunately, I still want to make some modifications, like some fillers, and probably a nose job. The rest of the items on the list seem like basic things to me, especially tattoos and eyelash and nail extensions, which are heavily overused due to exhaustion.

>>20971
if you do nail art once, the one time you do it it'll be terrible; it takes practice. i just do gel nail art whenever i'm not working and feel like it. i'm addicted to buying cute cheap tiny nail art sparkles and charms off aliexpress. maybe it's vain but it makes me really happy to look at cute art that i've gained mastery over and feel proud showing off

i do think gloves look cool though, just might get weird looks wearing them in the summertime

>Lip fillers
Nope
>Cheek injections
Fuck no
>Fake eyelashes
I don't see the point unless yours got burnt off, but whatever
>Fake nails
Nail art can be pretty. I've painted my nails before and used those fake nail press on things. Only issue was that the fake nails felt a bit clunky and dull on my fingers (and the nail glue was on my nails for a while).
>Hair bleaching
I've heard it can fuck up your hair if overdone, so something I'd beware of. That being said I've thought about dyeing my hair a few times, but ultimately I'll probably just use wigs.
>Piercings
Ear piercings are nice, anywhere else is iffy.
>Tattoos
I can admire the artistry of some tattoos, but I wouldn't want a permanent full sleeve. Been wanting to get a henna kit so I can make temporary designs on my own though.

>>boohoo i have to strike a pose for pictures that i earn revenue on
That's not the point at all tho?

Short answer: Because it sells products and services.

That picture means to show that most of what you as the consumer of the content sees on social media is fake and doesn't reflect reality.

>>20359
>Why are modern beauty/fashion/makeup trends so toxic for women? Especially the obsessed with being skinny

i don't think it is toxic at all. if you are active instead of sitting on the couch and eat real food that your body is able to digest instead of constipating you then you will be skinny automatically. just do a lot and don't eat the goo, that is all there is to it. tell me how this is toxic.

it is very easy to be skinny. just don't be seduced by the rot. just don't participate in the childish cultural idiocy of eating and drinking for pleasure and short term stimulation.

all this shit is not meant to be eaten by humans:
bread
pasta
pizza
candy
energy drink
coffee
alcohol

NTA, but feeling argumentative for no particular reason today.
Most of the perception cultivated in any career field is fake. Like teaching, for example. Nobody really thinks the attitudes, opinions, mannerisms exhibited by your teachers were reflective of who they really are or how they live or have lived. There's a cultivated fake "teacher" persona that's considered a crucial part of the job.

There's a thing called "the Influencer Accent" – but that influencer style of speech is practiced by teachers, specifically, in order to retain attention for an hour or more.
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0747563224000852

We all know or feel on a deep instinctive level that teachers aren't real people even when we're little kids. What's to be learned from showing that internet phoneys are also not real people, when pretty much everyone already had that much closer and much more intense lesson in public school?

That's just you schizo

>rectified by pregnancy aka rebalance of hormons and ofc upkeep by the husband

that would mean a person barely making due healthwise with their regular habits just supporting one body is all of the sudden healthy when a second body is being grown inside through the magic of hormones? make it make sense.

>the decision may or may even not be up to you (not like you assume), also spoiled.

these accident-babies by immature and irresponsible people who just wanna fuck are weighing the species down and ruin the lives of the parents, the responsible thing to do is to have children when the parents are ready and able.

>beggars cant be choosers.
yeah don't be a beggar, look a little into the future and realize that for whatever you are doing in life, your good health, which is a direct result of your habits, is the foundation for it that will help you achieve the impossible and keeping problems out of your path.

>RA°lity is pretty grim. hard struggle, to find a partner from the same ethnic subbranch (multicultural wolrd)

i see.
it was my mistake to try and spoonfeed the normies occult wisdoms, lest id be trampled
you are right and i am wrong
im sorry to have wasted your time

>>20953
>my mistake to try and spoonfeed the normies occult wisdoms

i don't see reason to believe the occult has a future in such accelerated times. it might be the case that the rate at which occult wisdom reveals itself to the masses by being used desperately can not be outpaced by censorship and ultimately bringing the entire house of cards to a fall. then there is wasted time. me writing a few lines on the hb, that's not wasted time, it's community service, potentially even benefiting some fortunates and unfortunates.

go get your dance on and find your specific haplotype or however you call it and make your incest babies that are expert blacksmiths

All of them

The lip fillers and BBL shit. Also please stop putting those transparentish corset tops that look like lingerie into dresses or those bondage gear things into fashion

I've also had them my entire life, tried many expensive eye creams, patches, serums. 0 difference. I use a tiny dot of concealer daily, they are still there but not half as bad with a little coverage. If they are genetic there is not much you can do, just something you have to live with.

if u have high cheekbones then the dark circles are caused by the geography of your face, you naturally have less fat under your eyes so the blood shows thru. volufiline can fix this, given that you are a natural responder to it. people have also had luck cutting out sugar, gluten, etc. in our modern day we normalise our consumption levels of these things but really it is too much and has an affect on our bodies. you can also dabble in lymphatic face massage to see if this helps, regular exercise can have similar results. and u can adjust your sleep schedule, everyone is different on what works best for them, eg some people cant get quality sleep if they sleep after 11. as other nonas said, it can also be an allergy, anything from dust to dairy. "genetic" can just mean you have inherited the allergy/issue that can be fixed, not lay down and accept it.

I like my eyebags, I think they're cool.

Try prickly pear oil from Morocco if possible. The vitamin K in it is really good for dark circles

Stop smoking weed

>What's their secret?

healthy habits. doing stuff all day long, exhausting yourself, eating real food that your body has the ability to digest, not being a monster to others or yourself.

when you eat candy or drink coffee and work a job that pays you good but fucks others over, that's you practicing unhealthy habits, that's the opposite, that's you waiting in line to have problematic health which inevitably results in problematic hair.

As a fellow Wasian, this humble bragging is in on an entirely different level of cringe, I feel icky reading this

I'm 184cm. Nothing fits and everything sucks. My head clips the top of doorframes if I wear heels.

>Does it even matter that much when it comes to dating?
You just limit your pool of available men to those who have fewer self-esteem/ego problems.

>>20893

>I'm 184cm. Nothing fits and everything sucks.
that's an easy one to deal with, just stop being a passive idiot-consumer and get into doing stuff yourself instead of being seduced by this toxic idea that all problems can be fixed by throwing money at it. you could keep an eye out for fabric that you like, buy one nice pair of sharp fabric scissors, watch a few youtube tutorials and you would already be in business making clothes for yourself, which is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon, way better then jealously looking at others on facebook.

>My head clips the top of doorframes if I wear heels.
because fuck shoes you can walk in, walking is beneath you, you prefer vehicles and you want to be a sexy giraffe all day and make loud noises when your shoe hits the pavement as to announce your presence.

5'11. shit made me anorexic bc at this height im either seen as a supermodel or as an orc depending on my bmi. i only gaf about my appearance bc im stared at a lot by shortfags everywhere i go. moids are intimidated by me except for bisexual napoleon complexes ive encountered. ive struggled a lot to feel feminine, especially when my weight is lower, my dysmorphia tells me i look like a tranny. recently as my prefrontal cortex has been developing ive been a lot less insecure. if nothing else my height is like a filter for insecure moids / a natural social power play

>>20908
I have friends who are now spinsters because they did not peak at 30 and got fat instead.

good for you for hanging in there and being charitable to the oinks. i could not hang with my fat friends anymore. everything was about being sick and too tired all the time, about how to be numb and passive, about wishing to do stuff and never doing it, about luxury and entertainment and mindgames and drama. was too much for me. these days i am quite radical about it, i can't even tolerate this attitude of irresponsibility anymore, it corrupts everything.

>>20894
>Autism is caused by various poisons in the food and environment as well as giving babies 30 vaccines by the time they are 2, God fucking damn

God you're retarded.

>>20913
I can't believe this glowie moid shit crossed over from that fucking place. No one wants to admit they have shitty genetics and don't screen for defects and then leave it up to god to sort it out after going to every length to ruin their overall health and fertility. I bet most of these parents don't even breast feed or shook the kid cause it cried and are suprised it won't look at them anymore.

>>20919
>No one wants to admit they have shitty genetics
sometimes i wonder if they believe that technology will save them and 'clean up' their shitty genes and all they are doing is holding out until technology has caught up to the place that they can pretend they have always been very healthy and well-maintained. i had average genes and after many years of living healthy and mindfully i have improved my genes. i guess most people don't know this is possible.

>after going to every length to ruin their overall health and fertility.
i just realized i have never once in my entire life heard anyone discuss the topic of maintaining fertility. while still being downstream from health, it is a topic worth discussing. legend states fruitarian women have very light and easily endurable periods because their overall regeneration is so healthy that there is hardly any blood involved.

>I bet most of these parents don't even breast feed or shook the kid cause it cried and are suprised it won't look at them anymore.
heh 😂 you just described the average parents and the reason most people are so fucked up in a single sentence, i love it.

>>19759
Kids are not less indoctrinated by society. They have a less nuanced understanding of social rules and roles than adults, but they also have little critical thinking ability to question them.

I’ve been scouted several times by modeling scouts, I guess that means something

>>20619
It means you were almost trafficked lol

>>19626
My manager at my job likes me, and I know this because he's given me little gifts/snacks and he was supposed to give me a write-up more than once before, but he never did. Only reason I'm not repulsed is because he's actually hot…

>>20619
if u grow up near LA this is a rite of passage & it's almost always a scam to get your parents to overpay for some headshots

>>20877
>this would be quite the spectacle for a reality show.

It would, but you're right about them not being able to commit. There are already reality shows about morbidly obese people trying to lose weight, and a lot of the people end up literally dying because they're too fucking obese and can't stick to even the most mild calorie deficit.

>>20878
>and can't stick to even the most mild calorie deficit.

i think the only way for obese people is to introduce the change in steps so small that they go completely under their radar, since they are not all of the sudden going to rediscover willpower, patience and strong nerves.

i've been thinking about this for many years. something like reducing their portions by 1% and enduring the discomfort until they can reduce another 1% looks to me to be the only way to do it.

might be all in vain though since the underlying root cause of their obesity is never addressed, which is irresponsibility: denial, lack of curiosity, identification with illusion, separation of cause and effect

>>20879
I would phrase it instead as introducing things into the diet. E.g. you must eat one whole carrot a day before having junk food. You're not banning something (and thus there's no fomo), but you are making a rule that will
A) Make the bad habit inconvenient
B) Slowly introduce good habits

One of the best ways to "quit" something is to not frame it as quitting. Always try and frame it as a gain and you'll generally do better.

>>20881
NTA but this is how I quit vaping, actually. It also ties into this discussion regarding weight loss: I slowly phased in exercise and over time I didn't want to vape as much because doing so made exercises more difficult after I got the hang of enjoying the movements. I'm no longer overweight.

>>20881
>making a rule

your overall approach would work but getting the person to do it by making a rule; that is you not understanding the depth of the underlying psychological problems responsible for obesity. the whole reason the obese person bends itself into a prezel psychologically (including multiple personality behavior) to do harmful things is to avoid the many disadvantages of a life of rules. rules are not the solution, they are the underlying problem. they may work for you but that is because you have cut off the spontaneous and creative parts of you that the obese person tries to protect from a life of rules. look at the people who do what they do because of rules, not because they understand and agree with something and you will find a host of problems, mostly of the mental health; emotional damage but also physical in terms of cramps, various stiffnesses in all systems of the body, heart issues and a general disconnectedness and difficulty to relate to other members of their species that are not part of their bonded group.

>I basically want to repair all my cells and DNA.

how'd they get broken

>>20828
op has cancer I guess

>>20828
People accumulate DNA damage through exposure to UV and oxidants. The body has repair mechanisms for these but it eventually builds up. So I've been boosting the repair pathways and also trying to reduce the damage rate in the first place via antioxidants.

>>20843
>People accumulate DNA damage through exposure to UV and oxidants.

this would sound very nice in a marketing paragraph but i don't have the means to verify this sadly. so i don't know but i would expect this to be bs just from living in a culture of weaponized for-profit health products.

plus fundamentally the human digestion has been learning how to digest alive nutrients since the begining of life and processed food only for a few hundreds or thousands.

your capsules and tinctures are all highly processed dead isolates foreign to the human body and may be hard to digest while potentially doing little to no benefit. since digestion is a process requiring a lot of the body, you might be weakening yourself for little to no benefit, which is the opposite effect of what you are trying to achieve.

unless you are talking about herbal supplements, which i very much respect.

>>20855
Well everything I take is endogenous to the human body or plants (the glutathione comes from white tomatos) so it's not synthetic molecules per se. I do get what youre saying about getting it from foods and stuff rather than pill form, however its not fully practical because of the massive amounts of tomatoes, grapes, etc. you'd have to eat every day to get the effective doses.
