Random thought but if you ever think about doing Botox, have you ever seen the legs of someone who is paralyzed ? They’re extremely thin, because when you don’t use a muscle, it atrophies.

If you’ve ever broken a bone you may also know that it happens pretty fast, and also that your tendons shrink from not being used. That’s also why after a fracture you need to do physical therapy to get your joints to work painlessly.

Now if you paralyze your face muscles with a toxin they will also atrophy. What it will do is that you will progressively look gaunt and it will not be due to aging. But your surgeon will say it is and then will offer fillers.

Also, your bone density is also determined by how strongly your muscles work. If you paralyze your muscles your bones also grow thinner over time.

Finally, there’s a theory about facial expressions having an influence on the brain. It’s not only your emotions creating facial expressions, it’s also facial expressions creating some kind of feedback. If you paralyze your face, you may also diminish your ability to feel certain emotions.

So basically : don’t do it.

The way your skin ages is mostly genetic. If you want to age slowly there’s a few things you can do : sleep enough, protect yourself from the sun, keep smoking and drinking to a minimum.

If you live long enough to age, it'll happen whether you attempt to delay it or not. Might as well greet age with love from the beginning than try to reconcile it after years of harm.

i love how social media connects us all. last week i was obsessed with the norwegian-finnish guy who got stuck in india as a child then it was a woman recovering from a coke/adderall/whatever she could get her hands on addiction now it's a 500 lb man walking me through his snack acquisition. i do not know any of these people but they brought me fleeting joy. what a world

There's an awful trend in reading that's this CinemaSins kind of rejection of abstract concepts and suspension of disbelief, that makes people say it's bad writing when authors use descriptions that aren't immediately one to one with physical reality.

Like it's bad when a "tattoo is undulating" (as opposed to... "drawn in a wave like pattern on the skin"?), or when hair is "wet wheat from a late Summer field" (as opposed to "sort of brownish light yellow that dries lighter, but is not actual wheat stalks growing on someone's head but kind of reminiscent of the color and texture"?), or when when ice cream tastes like midnight at the fair" (as opposed to "ice cream flavour bringing back memories of undefined ice cream flavours that are individually popular but always tied to a memory of late evening at the fair ground and probably smelling vaguely like popcorn and sugar"?).

Please. We have to get back to understanding abstract descriptions that evoke feelings and memories and mental images or things we haven't experienced yet. This hyper utilitarian way of reading and judging text is killing fiction. it's robbing you of experiencing things you haven't actually personally experienced.

I genuinely believe sports are too exciting for guys. Too much stimuli. It's like taking your reactive dog to a parade. Foolhardy
