"Autism face" is a thing that makes you look way younger than you should. I know I've got it. It's weird being carded at 37.

Yesterday three collegues called me "young blood"... I'm 35.

What knees? Your bones are gone, dumb vegoon. They evaporated the moment you stopped consuming animals.

The difference is 1 part genetics, 1 part skin care routines, 1 part sun protection habits, 7 parts a lifetime with or without smoking and being surrounded by people smoking at nearly all times.

I wonder if it is also differing beauty standards. Older men used to be considered more sexy. Nowadays a guy over 40 is basically a corpse but if you watch old movies you’ll see guys who look 50 or even 60 in hero roles, and they get the girl, too.

So what I’m saying is, Sean Connery might never be chosen as a leading actor today because he looks too old.

The one on the right is also married to Elon Musk's twice divorce ex-wife. As in the wife married Elon, divorced him, married Elon again, divorced him, then marred the guy on the right.

The fuck? I really liked this actor before but now I just feel gross.

It loads for me on multiple browsers, on multiple VPN locations.

Is there literally just no preview link for you? Or does it fail in the browser?

Wait is perpetual teen guy going to be a bond?

Well unlike Sir Connery, he at least is English! Though I think Connery impressed Fleming so much that Bond was rewritten to be half-Scottish

But no, there has been no story published on the next Bond having been chosen yet. There are a lot of theories floating around and many of them are fairly unbelievable to the point that it may as well be perpetual teen guy.

It's also nose and ear size, jawline, and lighting. Although it's possible that's already a toupee on Sean.

Before reading the title i was like "wonder what happened to that kid?". Lo and behold, mf is older than me and, on second glance, I prolly look older than Connery.

Brodie-Sangster is also like preternaturally youthful looking. 1999 Kyle Chandler in Early Edition at age 34 sort of splits the difference, and Jesse Plemons at 36-38, after he lost some weight, is closing in on Connery levels of character in his face.

that's the second reference to early edition i've ever encountered in my life, and the first one was mentioned in passing because the creator of that show also wrote and directed "alien private eye".

And sunscreen, and smoking, and minoxidil, and

Stress is the largest source of aging. The more severe the stress the faster people age.

The most extreme case I saw was a former coworker. When we worked together we were both in our late 20's. She then went onto another job and we lost contact.

5 years later I ran into her at a meeting and was shocked. Unfortunately her younger son had died of cancer in the meantime and the stress had aged her 20+ years. She looked in her late 50's not mid 30's.

I'm sure sun exposure also plays a role, everyone wears SPF 8000 sunblock now, while they were putting on tanning oil back in the 50s, 60s, and 70s

Really? I thought sunblock was pretty over the top in Connery's day.

It's funny that culturally 34 was considered a middle aged man back then whereas 34 today feels like an old 20 something.

And the 20 y/o's feel like babies. I see dudes get weird with the younger nursing assistants sometimes and get a tiny reflexive EXCUSE YOU...???

What if James Bond did a pdrn mask every time he was supposed to drink and smoke and every time he was supposed have a villain try to torture him he got HIFU instead?

AQI is highly variable by locale and hour. It averages out in the end, but measuring regional and global emissions is a better way to compare disparate time periods, except for areas at the extremes.

I would expect emissions to cumulatively impact air quality, is that not the case?

Describing an "openhanded slap" as "justified," Connery also said it could be used "if all other alternatives fail and there has been plenty of warning," adding, "If a woman is a bitch, or hysterical, or bloody-minded continually, then I'd do it."

I mean… it’s based? Beating anyone is wrong, of course - but if you have to do it, for example, for a defence, should you stop just because it’s a woman?

These hypotheticals always boil down to 'I just want to hit women'. It's not based. You're just telling on yourself.

No, I don’t want to beat anyone. But I can imagine the situations, so do you.

And, you know, gender here don’t matter at all. It’s bad to use any kind of physical force to another human, especially on weaker one. But there can be situations where it’s justified.

Here his is in dr no a year later looking more like he's 40 instead of 55, given he's in makup, but the crows-feet smile lines aren't doing him any favors.

and here he is 7 years later in 71 (41 years old)

TBH, the effect on skin from smoking seem to hit like a truck in the 40's, that's gotta be severe tanning, smoking and some really rough genetics.

Right, because advocating hitting women for being hysterical screams gender equality.

Which one of these is grounds for self defense again?
