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.

The problem is that these people have no way to pay their back taxes except rusted out old trucks and dilapidated huts. Then our billionaire overlords get away with murder even more despite actually having the resources to pay for their shit since it's another is agent not working the big, difficult case.

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?

Gate to be the party pooper but lava is specifically molten rock, and rock is a mixture of multiple minerals. As single mineral is not rock. (As far as a quick Google is verifying, open to correction by an expert)

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.

I could do the same thing with the book The Color Purple. That doesn't mean we should ban The Color Purple

I mean sure. That one uses fewer words. If you're a non native speaker, both are correct with the right placement in the sentence and removal of other words.
