This will give you permanent results for sure. Most of this type of surgery takes around one hour and uses a local anaesthesia. A skilled surgeon can create a near perfect look by adjusting the volume, shape and form of the patient’s upper, lower or both lips. It’s a precise procedure and one which allows you to contro... |
Natural Lip Enhancement |
This can be a semi-permanent to permanent option for achieving more youthful lips that are plumper, fuller and riper. Your choices are either dermal fillers of fat-grafting. The latter uses fat from your own body which the surgeon transfers to rebuild your lips. Either of these techniques is safe and effective. A skill... |
Dermal Fillers Vs Fat Grafting |
The treatment you choose will depend on a number of factors that your surgeon will discuss with you. Though dermal fillers are a great choice, fat grafting is perhaps the best option in most cases. This is because your own fat is totally natural. Your body fat will replenish what’s lacking in your lips. In general, fat... |

Number: V |
Name: Trigeminal |
Sensory, motor, or both: Both sensory and motor |
Origin/Target: Pons |
Function: Receives sensation from the face and innervates the muscles of mastication. Located in the superior orbital fissure (ophthalmic nerve - V1), foramen rotundum (maxillary nerve - V2), and foramen ovale (mandibular nerve - V3). |
The trigeminal nerve is the largest cranial nerve and is the great sensory nerve of the head and face, and the motor nerve of the muscles of mastication. |
It emerges from the side of the pons, near its upper border, by a small motor and a large sensory root—the former being situated in front of and medial to the latter. |
The three major branches of the trigeminal nerve, the ophthalmic nerve (V1), the maxillary nerve (V2), and the mandibular nerve (V3) converge on the trigeminal ganglion (also called the semilunar ganglion or gasserian ganglion), located within Meckel's cave, and contains the cell bodies of incoming sensory nerve fibers... |
The sensory function of the trigeminal nerve is to provide the tactile, proprioceptive, and nociceptive afference of the face and mouth. The motor function activates the muscles of mastication, the tensor tympani, tensor veli palatini, mylohyoid, and anterior belly of the digastric. |

Irrationality: Gillette and So-Called “Toxic Masculinity” |
By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - Everyone is up in ARMS, and there's nothing worse than that. |
All of a sudden, venerable American shaving company Gillette got into the news over a commercial they made. In their over 100 years in business, it might be the most attention-grabbing commercial they've ever put out, which probably means it was a great success. |
Gillette markets bladed razors to mostly men and sometimes women, with their slogan being “The Best a Man Can Get”, created 30 years ago. In honour of the 30th anniversary of that slogan (having their anniversaries matter is their first mistake; though I suppose going 87 years without a notable or existing slogan is ch... |
What does Gillette believe in? Well, here's the embed of the commercial. I want you to, if you haven't already, watch the whole thing without any preconceived notions. |
Just to make sure that you're not mishearing something, or if the video gets deleted or you're not allowed to listen to audio from where you're reading this article, here is the video's OFFICIAL transcript. You'll notice nowhere is the phrase “toxic masculinity” used by the Gillette narrator, unlike in the title of thi... |
Is this the best a man can get? |
Is it? |
We can't hide from it. |
It's been going on far too long. |
We can't laugh it off. |
What I actually think she's trying to say- |
Making the same old excuses. |
Boys will be boys. |
[TOGETHER] Boys will be boys. |
But something finally changed. |
Allegations regarding sexual assault and sexual harassment- |
And there will be no going back. |
Because we, |
we believe in the best in men. |
Men need to hold other men accountable. |
Smile, sweetie! |
Come on! |
To say the right thing. |
To act the right way. |
Bro, not cool. Not cool. |
Some already are. |
In ways big. |
and small. |
Say, "I am strong." |
I am strong! |
But some is not enough. |
That's not how we treat each other, okay? |
You okay? |
Because the boys watching today |
will be the men of tomorrow. |
No mention of “toxic masculinity” specifically or any attacks on masculinity as a concept. Everyone saying that is engaging in FAKE NEWS that you can easily verify for yourself by watching the video or reading the transcript. It's actually saying, if anything, that many men of today have abandoned the founding principl... |
Now that we're all familiar with the video and its message, here's my question: What do people find wrong with it? Because the like:dislike ratio is rather atrocious. It's 1:3 now, but last night it was 1:10. That's down there with the likes of Nintendo Switch Online's overview and the Masterclass trailer for Mighty No... |
Let's compare this to that Mighty No. 9 trailer, actually. You'll notice that I found that trailer to be so awful that I refused to embed it in the article, instead leaving it as a mere hyperlink. Unlike the Gillette commercial, the Mighty No. 9 trailer's narration and transcript quality are absolutely awful for the sa... |
(By the way, that article about the Mighty No. 9 trailer includes the line, “McRobots will be serving Donald Trump a Big Mac and Diet Coke in the near future, or possibly in the present. All of these are unpopular among humans.” Given current events, that aged amazingly well, as does most KoopaTV content.) |
But the Gillette commercial has a coherent message that matches their stated goal of striving for men to be better, and having men help one another to that goal. They're even donating $3 million over the next 3 years to organisations such as The Boys & Girls Clubs of America, which helps skill development in young men ... |

I'll tell you that my own dad is the least toxic guy out there. He raised six great men and is working on a seventh. (Alright, five great young men. There's something seriously wrong with Morton Koopa Jr.) |

King Bowser Koopa, my dad, crying tears in pride at a genius accomplishment I did. |
King Dad was almost always around to praise me or admonish me, as appropriate. |
He's an incredibly masculine man that I respect. |
Just last week, KoopaTV reported (with EXCLUSIVE details, mind you) about the case of Furio Tigre. Now here is a guy misusing masculinity. Sure, Furio is tough and big and strong, but he's not the best a man can get. He abuses women and denigrates them. You talk about toxic masculinity? The guy (allegedly) poisoned Gle... |
To the people who take issue with the message of the Gillette commercial: Do you want more men like King Koopa who stick by their family and raise them right to their potential, or do you want more men like Furio Tigre? |
Gillette wasn't saying that some men aren't being the best they can be because they are men. They weren't making any sexist statement like that, if you actually pay attention to the commercial. There are people that are jerks who happen to be men, and Gillette wanted to address that segment of the population because th... |
Gillette proposes a much more positive vision for men, about the best they can be. Some men—a minority—are holding the concept of manhood back with regressive behaviour, but because men are inherently good, and can be at their best, this can be overcome. True social justice feminists like Anita don't want the full pote... |
Gillette sees the #NotAllMen defence to the #YesAllMen [are sexual monsters] postulation from the feminists, and they don't find it good enough. Neither should you. So they want to turn it into #YesAllMen [are not sexual monsters and are good people]. |
Gillette We Believe men should act the right way checking out hitting on women |
Gillette says don't abandon Mr. Rapey Face on the right if you're his friend. |
He still has the potential to be better than he is now. |
He just needs a friendly reminder about basic manners and non-memetic facial expression-making. |
There's a clear difference. |
As for why Gillette is making this kind of visionary video that isn't directly related to selling shaving products? |
Gillette has been doing that sort of thing from the very beginning of their slogan! (I'd argue this was much better-executed of the same message from “We Believe”, though. They don't make ads like they used to. Still doesn't warrant the massive backlash that it got.) |
But now a videogame website that's never mentioned them before is actually talking about Gillette for the first time ever. So that's working out for them. |
It turns out that an increasing number of buyers want to be sold on a company's vision, the “why” this company is in business (and “making profit” isn't a good enough reason), before committing to brand loyalty. Gillette and its competitors are in parity in terms of sufficient product functionality. If anything, Gillet... |
You can call it “virtue-signaling” if you want. Well, I mean, it IS virtue-signaling, you wouldn't be wrong. But when you think about it, given Gillette's position, that's really the most effective way to go about your business nowadays. Makes sense to me. |
And as far as I'm concerned, people who found the commercial to be personally insulting have a lot of introspection to do. I didn't find it insulting at all. Why are you so sensitive, guy? If you're a garbage person who happens to be a man, you can either fix yourself in a truly masculine way (and Gillette proposes to ... |
Ludwig doesn't use any Gillette products and he won't be using them after this, either. He uses electric shavers for his shaving needs, but Gillette is more known for manual razors. If you disagree with the premise of this article, feel free to say whatever you want in the comments section. If you agree with the premis... |
Follow-up on Morton being screwed up. |
1. I could not see how this ad was so offensive to so many men unless they were looking to be offended. I could see some disliking for its use of social commentary to sell a product, but for the most part the majority are attacking the message instead. Furthermore, the comments on this particular video are some of th... |
1. It's rare that KoopaTV is deemed to have a reasonable stance on anything. |
