Because it is.

Fun fact:

William Howard Taft, the 27th US president, had a custom-built bathtub installed in the White House to accommodate his size. The massive, porcelain tub was over seven feet long, 41 inches wide, and weighed a ton

I imagine the at least some portion of the criticism comes from irritated leftists as well. Harriet Tubman is basically a civ leader chosen to pander to and resonate with a certain US-centric audience, but it should be noted the lack of representation of actual African civilizations as compared to a continent like Europe. Here’s a couple maps to show what I mean:

It’s inherent imperialism and pandering that the same western countries are given so much love when there are so many really cool civs out there that haven’t been explored at all. Not to mention the fact that the majority of the African civilizations and city states that have made it into the game are centered (unsurprisingly) around the Mediterranean sea.

This is a joke, right?

Like they put millions of dollars into a random video game on the hope, wish, qnd dream that not only does it get super popular, but it does so to the point that people with access to classified documents are willing to leak them in exchange for winning an argument?

It doesn’t have to be. It’s the very nature of their instance that they remove voices that they disagree with, causing them to completely get their ideas from an echo chamber of people that they already agree with, causing the ‘critical thinking muscles’ of the brain to go out of use.

If you’re ever driving thru a rural area, try the fast food there. It tends to be a lot better as it’s in pretty direct competition to family owned restaurants in these areas and therefore tends to be fresher and stuff. Like near my grandpa’s farm the best breakfast around is the IHOP and its the best IHOP I’ve ever been to in my life by far because it has to compete with mom and pops diners at similar price points whereas in more populated areas the mom and pops places tend to be more expensive than fast food.

That is a wild link

This is just entirely untrue. People generally consume more nicotine when vaping. That much is true. Vaping has significantly less toxins and dangerous chemicals than smoking cigarettes, as well as circumvent the whole tar in the lungs thing. There are no long term studies on vaping, so doctors will always say “we aren’t sure which is worse” but advise that smoking is likely to be far worse for the body than vaping. There is not a single study on earth, nor any doctors I’ve heard, that supports your claim.

Unable to see the argument behavior. The government, the other commenter is saying, must provide a viable alternative in order to prevent this behavior.

Literally lmao

The fact that some derms offer hormonal therapy for certain cases of severe acne does not make that regular by any means. If you have a hormonal problem you go to an endocrinologist.

No. I don’t think that going to a dermatologist causes significant hormonal changes like exercising regularly does. Why would I ever think that salicylic acid and antibiotics would affect my neurotransmitters and hormones significantly? They don’t…

Not at a biochemical/hormonal level, which you definitely can for at least physical activity.

The benefits of hitting the gym are much more than just getting swole. It increases self-confidence, helps to improve self-image, etc, which are all way more important to getting laid than any hobby you could have.

Or, alternatively, this is intended to clown on .ml users, because it’s hilarious and accurate. I don’t think anybody on lemmy would not be cool with attacking Joe and Kamala and Trump on this issue, and the vote total of your comment clearly shows that lmao. (And let’s be honest, you knew it would be popular here too). In fact, lemmy is constantly attacking the US on supporting the Israeli genocide, as they should, but funnily enough, nobody here seems to attack China on the Uyghur genocide, which is the point of this meme. By acknowledging that Israel is committing genocide, China would give further impetus for investigation following the UN report which asked for such regarding the Uyghur genocide.

But whatever I guess

“If they just had my opinions (that are unpopular to the US population at large), they would win.”

Uh? Yeah they were. Not the nazis, but the racists. They were all in the Democratic Party before the Nixon switch.

Look up the nazi rally in Madison Square garden. It was always this way, sadly. America is a country built entirely on racism, sexism, and classism.

Also, if anybody funds themselves in this situation, hydrate or die-drate. Really bad diarrhea is very, very, very dehydrating (just think about how much water is in the liquid sludge coming out of your ass)
