death, taxes, and windy incessantly defending our full speed descent into a capitalist dystopia

 

[Deacfan2009]

what's horrifying? that kids are moisturizing and taking care of themselves?
what could possibly be bad about it?

Yeah Generation Alpha includes early teens/tweenagers at this point. Our generations had girls in that age range getting more into make-up and wanting to emulate their moms, sisters etc. on that front. Prioritizing skin care seems like a much better alternative.

Also it feels like this has been a thing in Korean culture for a long time (based on my takeaways from Crying In H Mart), so I don't know if I'd blame capitalism straight up.

 

[ImTheCaptain]

i mean, telling people they need to constantly fix their face and it just so happens we can sell you all that stuff is definitely fucked up capitalism

 

[RedSoxFaithful]

oh man I need to read Crying in H Mart. it's been sitting on my desk since last Christmas

 

[WindyCityDeac]

Why do they need skincare products to take care of themselves?

because the sun is a bitch and moisturizing every day with a an SPF moisturizer can do nothing but help.
And they are developing great habits at a young age

 

[Kory]

sometimes when i'm on the road i'll listen to conservative talk radio for a bit as it's a fascinating thing, anthropologically speaking

it's usally FM radio though

gotta go AM for the #FullEffect

I am legitimately surprised you haven't read it yet! As the biggest Japanese Breakfast fan I know

I've read the first quarter or so of Gravity's Rainbow like 4 separate times I think

 

[Donkey Deac Doug]

yeah...clearly wrong person, wrong time.
At the same event i sat at a table with 3 Sr VP having a Cock Drawing contest, c'est la vie

I would be such a strong fit for your team.

 

[ImTheCaptain]

Do you think the skincare products they are trying to sell to young tweens is just spf moisturizer?

 

[Shooshmoo]

My girls buy facemasks, lip balms, sprays that smell good, and stuff like that for sleepovers and bday parties - I don't have an issue with it. It's fun for them, and they could be doing worse things.

well of course! skincare companies are altruistic, it's right there in the industry name!

 

[HailToTheDeacons]

When we were in high school and played at Davie the entire town shut down for that stuff. Would guess they might have high radio listenership from surrounding areas.

Just like Dillon.

 

[WindyCityDeac]

of course not.
but if these are skincare products then good for these kids. Face washing, exfoliating, moisturizing are all healthy habits for a 12 to 13 yr old to have

 

[deacdiggler]

just skip all that and read the Silmarillion

just skip all that and interact with females occasionally
