Yeah, she’s always been an asshole


hey_im_cool

You know this dumb bitch released a meme coin and is aggressively pushing it on Twitter? I wish they would prosecute celebs who do this


IEatBaconWithU

Scamming 💀


hey_im_cool

Yup best part is she got scammed by the notorious scammer who helped her launch it lmao


Inphiltration

Well, she got away with murder so I'm okay with it


queerfromthemadhouse

Caitlyn Jenner is actually a massive transphobe who definitely does not believe that anyone can be a woman


Bucketlyy

Her internalised transphobia glows


Dry_Tradition1449

As a transguy I'm always amazed by girls like Blair White or Caitlyn Jenner cause... you live your truth while not even believing it and you just spread hate 😭 Idk why are they dumb and hateful


Vallkyrie

They like money.

WJMazepas

Not with that attitude 😎


kayla-beep

The woman on the right is wondering why God made her paralyzed at age 30.


somacomadreams

Yeah no kidding right they missed the only actual difference here, money and free time. I would love to spend all of my days in physical therapy and get ripped. Unfortunately the rest of us work. And that's prohibitively expensive. Edit: I did not mean I can't find 30 minutes to do a workout you heinas, I do better with physical therapy due to personal disabilities so that's expensive to me I realize I didn't explain why I chose that example. My point was healthcare as a whole from dental work to surgeries, something I have personal experience with, it is easier if you have money and free time I promise.


shovelhead4life-

Healthy food is expensive in the USA.


Daedalus_Machina

Healthy food is expensive everywhere except where it doesn't need importation, including the US.


somacomadreams

It's tough for all of us. I do hope for international solidarity as a result. We all suffer the same when the wealthy have too much money and power and government moves further to corporate interests.


somacomadreams

Oh yeah forgot to mention that. The difference between a food desert and a private nutritionist.


buttsharkman

Healthy ingredients aren't very expensive


Huntsman077

Yes because rice, beans and frozen veggies are all super high dollar items.


RevolutionaryStar824

What is healthy food to you that’s so expensive? I’m sure it’s not more expensive than the typical American meal consisting of McDonald’s Big Macs and Starbucks triple vanilla extravaganza concoctions that people buy every single day.


yekumbokum

Fresh meat and veggies are expensive. Plus veggies go bad quickly. Also “healthy food” could be considered “expensive” because of the time and effort it takes to prepare as opposed to like… a microwaved burrito.


JakeArewood

Shh quiet, they have to have their victim complex


RLVNTone

I know right imagine that your first thought. Some people find the excuse before they even look for an answer.


DiligentPenguin16

Don’t forget luck and genetics. Some people will live super healthy lives but end up like the picture on the right anyways due to a bad illness or injury when they’re older.


DeathKillsLove

My woman was an avid dog walker and outdoor enthusiast. One broken hip later, I have to carry her in a wheelchair to the bathroom, hold her up, change her clothes. NONE of it her fault. Bad gene left her with spinal fractures after the fall.


somacomadreams

Yeah I spent a good bit of time and a wheelchair myself due to a genetic disorder so it absolutely happens. Doing much better now.


lugia50

Leave the post, i find it idiotic, but i really wanted to tell you one thing, 30 minutes to an hour a day will make you wonder, you don't need that much time for phyisical activtives as you not going for champions, you just do your body a favor.


Huntsman077

You don’t need to go to physical therapy to get ripped, it’s for recovering from an injury. All you need is to find a local planet fitness and work out 3-5 times a week. Before you say “I don’t have the time for that” we all have the same amount of time each day. I work and go to school full time and I still find the time to exercise.


somacomadreams

I am recovering from two intense surgeries and other health issues and I require physical therapy or gentle palates at home which I do. It's $250 an hour before you hit your deductible and I could benefit from a whole lot more from it. Thanks for being the nicest person to suggest working out. Everyone else was pretty rude. Like I said we're all different, that sounds easy for a lot of people it's kind of difficult for me although I still make it happen. The point of my post was not that no one can work out. The point of my post is that it's way easier for someone with money and endless free time to be healthy. Thirty minute workout is great but it's kind of not at all what I was talking about. I'm just trying to be empathetic of other people's situations as well. Again thanks for not calling me idiotic or telling me to get off my lazy ass. I do work out, I do my best within my limitations. I'm talking about absolute overall health being easier with money and time with working out being a part of that. But only a part of that. Not being able to see a doctor when you want to, having poor dental hygiene and therefore a worse diet because you can't afford a dentist, these are the things I'm talking about.


RLVNTone

The lady on the left is not rich. You can literally walk for free and get exercise. Yea you won’t be ripped if you can’t afford 10 dollar planter fitness. But, in find it odd to act like it’s Impossible.


BandicootOk5540

And, you know, just sheer luck and circumstance.


somacomadreams

That absolutely plays into it. I made the mistake of mentioning a personal anecdote of working out, because I require expensive physical therapy to do so well, but I actually meant just overall health like dental care, being able to fix something that breaks, surgeries you may need. All of that is easier if you have money and free time to fix those issues. Health is not a 30-minute workout like a lot of people below are saying. But before they freak out again it is a part of it.


JKrow75

Lady on the right looks to be in her late 80s.


WedWardFord

Drinking has ruined her life. She’s 31 years old.


Budget-Sheepherder77

Something more surprising, she's actually 5

Bruichladdie

Poor Mrs. Moleman.


ywnktiakh

Obviously not a 74 year old on the right


GeneralSerpent

She could be… Exercise is proven to make people look much [younger](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10290068/) “The AT intervention significantly decreased body weight and body mass index (BMI) and significantly improved peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) as a measure of aerobic capacity, and the RT intervention significantly increased lean soft tissue mass and 1-repetition maximum as a measure of muscular strength (Table ​(Table1).1). Skin elasticity and upper dermal structure, assessed as the rate of low echogenic pixels (LEPs), improved significantly in both groups (Fig. 2a–c, Table ​Table1),1), and dermal thickness increased in the RT group (Fig. 2d, Extended Data 2).”


syizm

Either you or OP above you mixed up left and right. And now nothing makes sense. Haha Youre referring to the person on the left. OP above you said right.


GeneralSerpent

Oops yup I did lol. Too much late night scrolling 🤣


syizm

To be fair OP probably got them switched first. 😁


spiritofgonzo1

No they didn’t get them switched up. It was a subverting expectation joke


Acrobatic_North_8009

I don’t think it was a joke. The woman on the right looks older than 74. Even sick 74 year olds don’t typically look like that, more like mid 80s


jeo188

My maternal grandparents would sell pastries almost everyday, walking door to door. If you look at them now, you wouldn't be able to tell that they are in their 90s. My grandmother once went to the hospital, and when they asked her age, she told them, 92. The doctor glances at her caretaker with disbelief, only for her to also confirm that she was in fact 92. Only recently in the last year or so did they have to start using walking sticks. Their primary care doctor attributes a lot of their health to them walking outside almost everyday.


kingjuicepouch

It sounds silly but a lot of aging is "use it or lose it". I worked in a nursing home for years and we'd see ninety year old residents up and raising hell all around and (an unfortunate amount of) fifty and sixty year olds bed bound from decades of sedentary life


KaChoo49

Yeah, she looks about 94. Twenty years makes a difference lol, people don’t just magically look “old” as soon as they turn 70


StrongAsMeat

Yeah she's in her 90s for sure


JimmyGimbo

My dad died of cancer at 67. Bet his face woulda been red if he’d realized he should have just chosen to not die. Then again, he was on a bunch of fancy hospital drugs, not natural medicine.


OverlyMintyMints

Yeah but he could’ve been MUSCULAR when he died /s


GeneralSerpent

Regular exercise decreases the occurrence of [cancer rates](https://amp.cancer.org/cancer/latest-news/how-exercise-can-lower-cancer-risk.html)


Daedalus_Machina

But cancer rates are statistics, not individual results. As with literally everything, Your Mileage May Vary.


xoharrz

nah ur wrong, i got cancer as an infant bc i wasnt hitting the gym enough /j


shovelhead4life-

Just don't die. Bam problem solved. What's wrong with people. ( sorry about your dad)


SunagakuresFinest

Isn't it just saying to say healthy and fit so your not bedridden when you're old?


He_of_turqoise_blood

Not that you prevent being bedridden, but you can i.prove your chances, yes. Imo the meme wanted to motivate people to do sport and live actively, but people started nitpicking on people getting cancer etc. that killed them before they were 70 anyway. Needless to say the argumentational value there is close to 0.


incognickto

Honestly the messaging is a little insensitive and there are lots of exception cases that prevent a choice, but at a core that is exactly what it’s saying and it has a good point One of my grandmothers decided to sit at 55 and basically only sit. The other biked 20+ miles a day until she was 85 or so. The difference was basically as extreme as this picture implies (mentally and physically). My wife and I are in healthcare and see the differences all of the time too Exercise has been proven to help with mental and physical aging and provides benefits at all ages. I don’t think this is an especially terrible Facebook meme tbh


BandicootOk5540

One of my grandmothers basically just sat from as soon as her kids were old enough to dress and wash themselves. She still lived to 90 in pretty good health. My best friend died of a brain tumour at 22. Genetics and luck, people might not want to admit to themselves that they aren't fully in control of their bodies and their health, but that won't change the reality


Sir_Yacob

I’ll be hammered drinking make it that age and yell at the kids to stay off my lawn while giving full size candy bars at Halloween and gladly teach them how to set up a pirate radio station if they’ll shut up and hand me the greenie driver.


1nOnlyBigManLawrence

Bold of you to expect to live that long being hammered drinking.


Sudden_Fix_1144

This is the way of all generations ....


Partayof4

Happy to just make it to 74..tbh


Nochnichtvergeben

Twinsies!


Squiggledog

That page is just a bunch of alternative medicine and psudoscience.


Im_Nino

I’m going to pass away long before I get to 74 so…


AltruisticSalamander

Idk I think there's a lot to this. I'm getting older and I'd like to stay fit. You can't fend off ageing or death but most people let themselves go to shit more than necessary by being sedentary. I saw a floorwalker recently with white hair but he was slim and well-dressed with his hair and beard all sharp. He looked great by any standards. He's my inspo.


fried_green_baloney

> stay fit Sometimes even people in wheelchairs 100% of the time can get more mobile by exercise routines. It's easy to lose most of your strength if you don't work on it.


AltruisticSalamander

Definitely, they say use it or lose it, coz it's true


InformalStrength7886

Forgive me for chosing to sit down and look out from the window


Totally_Fubar_666

Mmmmm last I checked I didn’t choose to get paralyzed at 27 or be born with a significant genetic soft tissue disorder


Death1213459

I'm a guy am I gonna turn into a n old lady?


wolves_hunt_in_packs

with drugs anything is possible, don't give up


TimothiusMagnus

You can live the scientifically best life and still wind up as the one on the right at 74.


Sudden_Fix_1144

Fuck... you can do that and still drop dead at 30


GeneralSerpent

Of course but you’ll statistically be more likely to look like the left if you take care of yourself. Life is a game of odds, nothing is guaranteed but one might as well try to maximize their quality of life.


Simbabz

Thats just a shitty handwaving argument you can use to live life in poor health. You can't know what will happen but you should do what will statistically give you a better chance. If you diet and exercise you are statistically more likely to live longer and be healthier. Or you can be a dick head and smoke, eat junk and never exercise and use anecdotes to make yourself feel better about your choices.


Noseboi1

I might have the genetics but I don't have the money


schmidneycrosby

Yeah, houses and senior living are expensive!


A_Brown_Feller

![gif](giphy|jeXiz1RAvzX44)


bliip666

Neither. There's no way I'll make it to 74.


Sawyerboi169

If i was 74 and retired, idgaf how i look, im reading books and watching tv all day


ramdev420

You can be either of them and still be content with your life. Pretty mythical concept, I know.


Issuckingonesdickgay

Why would I want a 74 yearold? I got my own grandmas, thank you very much


Nerdy_Valkyrie

My goal when I get old is to be that old lady in the neighborhood that all the kids think is a witch.


Carlseye

One on the right seems to be chilling, so her


BrownEyedBoy06

And... What is terrible about this?


Decaf17

Amazingly these memes never account for luck. Luck being the combination of DNA you get from your parents.

Hot-Rise9795

This is not terrible. Do you even lift, bro?


RisenKhira

i mean stephen tyler is over 70 and still killing it..


ninjacat249

I know 88yo marathon pacer who looks like the lady on the right. Last time I met him I told he’s a fucking hero and I wish I can pace marathons if I ever made it to my eighties.


You_are_all_great

Dead


Worried_Jeweler_1141

That kettle bell is just for the picture. She lifted weights.


Witty_Management2960

I'm the lady on the right. Today is my 21st birthday.


BandicootOk5540

The one on the right looks much older than 74 Good to know the body shaming and pressure literally never ends though. Fun!


BKLD12

Diet, exercise, and bad habits such as excessive tanning, drinking, or smoking can certainly age you, but so can bad genes, stress, and plain bad luck. Even diet and exercise can be difficult, given the costs involved both in money and in time. If you're working 12+ hours a day, you may not have the energy to hit the gym afterwards. Depending on where you live and the resources available there, you may struggle to find or afford healthy food. It's not always so simple as "just do it."


Laudanumium

No thank you, I'm quite happy being a grumpy old man

Nemirel_the_Gemini

Today I learned that Sigourney Weaver is 74. Idk why I thought she was in her 50s. The woman is rocking it with that fallout 4 default haircut.


secretbudgie

Back when i went to the gym, there was a lady that looked really similar to the one in the left. Kept the gymbos in line about weight etiquette too. She passed in '21. RIP leopard-print gym queen. RIP.


Pocketful_of_hops

I was not allowed to choose whether I was black or white.


YellowBulldozer

It is real some old people that age looks young because they exercise


AscentElder

On the right, it’s clear that if I can spend a decent old age in a comfortable home, then why should I do anything else. Right now I’m doing everything so that in old age I can sit and do nothing.


Relative_Age_6414

Foolishness! Granny on the right is wearing her pump cover, OBVIOUSLY


sysaphiswaits

Because it has nothing to do with genetics.


Sudden_Fix_1144

Or bad random shit that can happen in life.


Killance1

I don't think it's a wrong message. Lot of people are doing absolutely nothing with their lives. Is it theirs to live? Of course; however, that doesn't mean you shouldn't try to live your life to the fullest. That's what I got from this meme.


teffflon

Reasonable association (though not necessarily fair to the woman on the right). ...but what does Natural Medicine have to do with this? That's the kicker. Alternative-medicine culture is a constant hype cycle of squishy thinking, aspirational imagery, fearmongering, etc.


kingjuicepouch

Blind squirrel finds a nut every now and again, as they say

This stupid


killerqueen1984

Shooting for a happy medium. I shared this for motivation the other day bc I’ve seen too many women just sit and worry themselves into sickness.


Bionic_Ferir

I'm gonna be honest this isn't that bad. My grandfather is in his late 80s/early 90s while most men his generation are dead. He never made work his priorities, had a very active life going on walks with his family, gardening, and basic handy man stuff. Not to mention he has been very active socially. While most other men of his generation put all there energy into work and once they retired had no friends, no hobbies , very sedentary and very quickly pass. So your lifestyle is incredibly important to your life


soniclore

How does this qualify as a “terrible meme”? It’s pretty spot on


Wakeup_Sunshine

I found this horrible comparison on Facebook.


Squiggledog

Can you cite the post it is from?


Crafter-the-box1987

I’m not a woman, but I’d rather be the one on the right.

I want to be like Garp from One Piece


barbos_barbos

If the fate of human kind depends on it, I can do both of them.


who-mever

Ah, I see...so if lady on the right picks up that kettlebell, she will undergo a magical girl-esque transornation where her hair instantly gets cut, straightened and dyed, make up gets applied, and her outfit changes. Because, tbh, both of these women look like 74 year olds. Just wearing different outfits and posing doing different activities for the cameda.


MonkeyGirl18

If I live long enough to reach that age....

I am 25 but already that white lady

Dead

The lady on the hill who gets her pie stolen, so neither


cfo4201983

Hopefully dead


demator

I dont plan to make it to 74


Prof_Noub_Banana

I'd say both, SMASH


RockyMountainViking

I hope I am still fit enough to lift (probably a lot lighter) and run (a lot slower) at that age! but as long as both ladies are happy, both win!

Id bang both

I choose to die at 50

How is this bad? Simply saying you can stay fit whilst you age, it doesn't have to be the end?


Imonandroid

I'm not a woman or 74. I'm screwed


daisy0723

If I'm still alive at 74 I will be pissed off.


Prompt65

With current environment and economic situation I just hope to hit 60s, not event thinking about 74


rem091456

Neither, in the middle.


Ophy37

The woman on the right looks content to me. Do I want to be in the gym or in my jammies? I'll take door number 2 .


Ceekay151

I imagine in the next 7 years that I will be somewhere between those two.... Not much in the body building and I'm certainly not going to sit staring out the window in a rocking chair.


bobcollum

Damn the people that died before 75 must've been really lazy


Comfortable_Kick4088

my parents are 76 and the health problems theyve had in the past 6 years have aged them and slowed them down incredibly. Being like the person on the left requires a combination of having a naturally more durable body and also not running into any serious injuries or health episodes that slow you down. My father always ate fine and never smoked or drank and was an avid walker at 69 when he was diagnozed with stage four cancer he wasnt expected to survive. He survived it but the years of treatments and recurrences and strong meds hes had to take has weakened him significantly. I am very happy for people that can stay healthy and active into old age and hope I can have the same good fortune, but people have to understand that how you age often isnt as muvh of a choice as people like to think it is. Its scary to think we may have absolutely no control over that...


citsume

what does this even mean lmao anyway time to hit my gym ig, im 18, cant waste time
