When Kick Rock isn't rubbing off on him.

It's an endless stream of stupid old men with leathery skin rubbing on each other for some reason.

Kennedy’s action comes at a time when many adherents of his Make America Healthy Again movement have adopted regular sun exposure as a core principle of wellness, with social media influencers encouraging followers to abandon sunscreen and build up their “solar callus,” or sun tolerance, instead.

Even if this doesn’t give you cancer, it’ll make you look like a California Raisin. In one of Lab Muffin’s videos (chemistry PhD who makes educational videos about beauty/skincare product misinformation), she has a great photo of an older woman who has put sunscreen on her face but not neck for decades, and it looked like they belonged to two different people. Same if you’ve ever seen photos of old truckers that don’t use sunscreen on their window side arm.

TL;DR: UV radiation bad. Protect yourself from the giant nuclear explosion in the sky. If you don’t like sunscreen, use a sun jacket or anything long sleeved with a good UPF rating.

Sunscreen on face but not neck

Trucker

Yeah these people have constant access to the internet yet are entirely unable to spend 4 seconds on it to look up picture of middle-aged highland folks who are working in the sun all day.

It's like his goal is to get as many people sick from as many things as possible. No vaccines, red meat heavy diet and suntanning beds. What's next cigarettes for kids?

[–] danekrae@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

What’s next cigarettes for kids?

To build up their lung callus, for when they'll get work in the coal mines.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 1 week ago

or to build up that leather face, must have alot of intense sun light especially if you are fair skinned.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

his goal is to make people look like him, his skin all leathery from UV damage, or pleathery.

So... kids shouldn't have the right to their own personal expression, but they should have the right to give themselves cancer. Got it. Makes perfect sense.

Also he highly recommended a daily dose of racoon dick for newborns.

Well they need vitamin D too.

Holy shit this is so much more fucked up typed out than in my head.

Sooooooo, trump I get. He's a narcisist. That's why he does the things he does. He's also putins bitch. So he tries to destroy america, because putin is obsessed with the cold war.

The rest of the crew are just desprate needy sycophants, who do nothing but try to gobble up as much attention and power as possible.

But RFKjr? Him I don't get. It's like he's an 80s saturday morning cartoon villain. He would fit right in alongside Cobra, or CLAW, or being one of Jokers henchmen.

I'm honestly expecting him at some point to encourage people to drink bleach.

He's just really fucking stupid.

.... Why though? Was it the big suntan bed conglomerate that got to him and paid him to make that legal?

I'm kidding of course but ... Why do this? I don't get it. We all know sun tan beds are bad, why allow kids?

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The pedo ring likes tanned kids...obviously

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmings.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It's not so much that they like them tanned, they don't like tan lines. It suggests they've been out in the sun, and not enslaved in a dark room, waiting for them.

The American government as of current just wants people as sick, dead and desperate as possible.

This guy is the kind of cartoon villain that gets left out of the newer "dark" iterations of a franchise for being too fucking ridiculous

[–] popekingjoe@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ah yes. Hook em while they're young. Just like another major source of cancer: cigarettes.

[–] Virtvirt588@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Indoctrination is a real threat. Set them up for their agendas, and they'll do the rest. Any notion of cancer will just be reflected back by such people, this is much more effective if education is scarce.

Holy moly I was just ranting incoherence about this so much I welcome the new grass-stained burnt face look that RFK Jr. Really Brings To uh wherever he u-

They're probably thinking "a nice tan will make children even more fuckable!"

Ok. Tanning beds are cancer machines for everyone. The enablement is a consequence of allowing sun beds in the first place - this doesn't change much honestly.

Also, what groups are cleared here? Teenagers? Children? There is a lot of ambiguity in that news site.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

In the same way that most tattoo artists won't do kids, even in states where it's legal with parental consent, most salons won't let kids tan--at least I hope.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

look at rfk jr, hes a leather couch from all those tanning booths.
