Violet Affleck Recalls Debating With Mom Jennifer Garner About THIS During L.A. Wildfires: Details Inside
Violet Affleck reflected on a heated argument she had with her mother, Jennifer Garner, while being in a hotel room during the L.A. wildfires. Violet, whom Garner shares with her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, recalled the details of the fiery conversation with her mom about how climate change forced families out of their homes in order to save themselves.
Affleck jotted down all points of debate with her actress mom in her research paper titled 'A Chronically Ill Earth: COVID Organizing as a Model Climate Response in Los Angeles.'
In response to Garner's comments about climate change, Violet claimed that the behavior of the 'wealthiest citizens' led the earth into the crisis. In her paper, the star kid mentioned, 'As a lifelong Angelena and climate-literate member of generation Z, my question had not been whether the Palisades would burn but when.'
She continued, 'As I chatted with adults in the hotel where we'd gone to escape the smoke, though, I found my position to be an uncommon one: people spoke of how long rebuilding would take, how much it would cost, and how tragically odd the whole situation had been.'
The 19-year-old went on to reveal that the 13 Going on 30 actress was 'shell-shocked, astonished at the scale of destruction in the neighborhood where she raised me and my siblings.' However, she was surprised by her mother's reaction.
Moreover, Violet also penned her brother Samuel's reaction to the wildfires. She shared that her younger sibling was skeptical as to what the strong winds would have to do with climate change. 'Hopefully, most of us understand the climate crisis better than my little brother,' Violet wrote in her essay.
Furthermore, the eldest one of her siblings, Violet, went on to mention, 'Driven by unsustainable consumption patterns concentrated among the wealthiest citizens of the wealthiest countries, all of which have already subjected most of this country and the world to deadly temperatures, fire-flood cycles, rising seas, and dying crops.'
The young one completed her paper by finally mentioning the protocols to avoid such hazards in the future.

Woman spends ₹1 crore on 4 nose jobs after botched rhinoplasty surgery to make a ‘nice nose better'
Often, when people are bored, they binge-watch a series, play games online, read a book, or meet up with their friends. But have you ever been so bored that you ended up getting a rhinoplasty surgery? That's exactly what happened to an influencer, Violet, who ended up getting five rhinoplasties and spent over $120k (approximately ₹1,03,15,561) on her face. Also Read | Woman with nose job shows she has to tape her nose whenever she flies: Plastic surgeon explains why In an interview with People, Violet admitted that she never really needed to fix her nose. But as a creative individual, she felt that she could improve it because she gets bored easily. For the uninitiated, rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes or resizes the nose. Violet told People that she first got a nose job done in 2020, when she was 27 years old, as she wanted to 'tweak it just a little bit'. She started looking for surgeons in Southern California, and found an Asian rhinoplasty specialist, as she thought Asian people have different anatomy. Soon, she booked the surgery after finding no red flags online or during her consultation. Even the procedure was fine, and she seemed to be okay during the recovery process. However, soon the problems started cropping up. 'It [My nose] looked very, very big and projected. Eventually, that over-projection, that height started to deviate, so my entire nose started to slant to the right side.' According to People, the botched rhinoplasty led Violet back to the surgeon, who agreed to a revision. However, during the surgery to fix her nose, she was 'left with more deformities'. She revealed that the columella [the skin between the nostrils] started to retract, and her nostrils were exposed, and she still had a deviated nose. This led to the third surgery, where her surgeon felt 'confident' that he could fix her nose. However, that was not the case. Though he did straighten the nose, the 'retraction deformities' were not fixed. 'At that point, I was just really, really depressed, and I kind of just gave up on the surgeon because I thought, 'There's no way. I gave you three tries, and I still have a deformed nose when my starting point was already really nice,' she said. 'It's not that hard to make a nice nose better.' Finally, she ditched her surgeon and tried looking for another one in Miami. She felt confident in this second surgeon and booked another appointment. But it seems, fourth time wasn't the charm. She ended up having a fifth surgery, too, because the damage and scarring from the first three surgeries were severe. 'The surgeon added some fascia to hide the graft because my skin was very thin in that area. Now here I am with a normal-looking nose after five surgeries. It took five tries, unfortunately, when it should have only taken one,' she told People.

This three-day event perfectly binds Pokémon's past and future while putting the spotlight on a creature that has long been a symbol of tech advances for the series. Beyond Nostalgia: Porygon as a Symbol Porygon was introduced in the original Pokémon Red and Blue and, more than anything, stands as a representation of digital progress within the world of Pokémon. At first, Porygon was a rare and strange Pokémon to obtain, a prize in the Game Corner; now, it has grown in both popularity and lore-traditions with two evolutions: Porygon2 and Porygon-Z. 3 DAYS ONLY Porygon "Nintendo Switch 2" Outbreak Event in Pokemon Scarlet Violet This Mass Outbreak is not just a nostalgic wink; it breathes thematic relevance in the shape of a new gaming era.

With very little time left for Switch 2, there's a chance that the players of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet will actively take part in a digital goodbye-and-welcome by way of one of the most classic and technically inspired Pokémon of the franchise.
