The surgeon breaks the patients' thigh bones and inserts nails that are extended with a magnetic remote control every day for three months, GQ said.

Capitalism.

    There is so much other self improvement you could do instead of breaking your legs… But nope just shallowness. Even doing nothing and just relaxing is better.

      Business has no place for silly things like humanistic cultivation and philosophical profundity. If Big Boss tells you to grow eight centimetres, you better do it

    Fun fact, taller people statistically have shorter lives than shorter individuals.

      Yep, because their hearts are under more strain from pumping against the higher gravitational energy, the higher blood pressure from that also harms other organs like the lungs, kidneys, brain, etc, and the spine and joints are also overstressed which is bad for the spinal cord and increases the likelihood of back and joint pain. It sucks, for people who are naturally tall of course, if you’re spending fuck-you amounts of money on lengthening surgery, it’s hard to say you don’t deserve it.

      It’s exponential BTW, at the extreme end, a small height increase can be a lot more detrimental than it seems. People with gigantism (the real name for a disorder that makes you really tall) often tragically die in their 30s or 40s even if they’re healthy otherwise.

      taller people statistically have it better under this form of capitalism but it may have more to do with being white European

      When I was like 16 I had some incidents with people and got really insecure about it. I got my first tech job them and took all these supplements and ended up trying to take GHRP.

      I knew the capitalist order was sh*t back then and complained about it but without all the words and learning I know now.

    I, too, adore the classic 1985 motion picture Brazil directed by Terry Gilliam, but there is such a thing as taking cosplay too far
