I can't wait for the cure for baldness and seeing the "bald" culture fight back against it.

Isn’t the cure just to go to Turkey?

I think that is more like a surgical procedure to move your existing hair around than a genuine cure, but you do have a point.

If it becomes dirt cheap to get the surgery done would "baldness" culture start fighting back? Hairless positivity, you don't need a scalpel to change who you are, Rogaine is no gain, toupee no way, chants for no transplants, 10's dig bald men, etc.

Lasik surgery exists and isn't all that expensive, but you still see plenty of people with glasses.

That's an imperfect fix iirc. It has risks and side effects and it's one of those things where you can only do it once or something.

Oh yes, I am definitely being silly

Could also say "no hair, don't care" 👴

Like all the "body positivity" people that were celebrating that fat people could still be fit and beautiful, and then the minute Ozempic hits the world, they all dropped half their body weight. Not so militant about being fat any more, eh?

I've always been conflicted about the body positivity movement. There is a lot if truth that people on the thicker side can actually be a healthy weight, but at the same time, telling obese people that they are fine as they are is like trying to normalize smoking.

What I do think is important is that someone's self-worth should never be tied to their weight. You're not a worse person than anyone else just because you're overweight, and no one should be treated badly because if it.

Overall, I think it's a mixed bag, but with more positives than negatives overall
