Oh great, somebody that doesn't understand stats.

You know what else having access to violent video games correlates with that might be a bit more important than the video games themselves? Material wealth and higher standard of living. What happens to correlate with material wealth and higher standard of living? Less crimes of every single type.

Also I don't agree with the way the body is being sexualized in the comment above mine, but there is a serious problem, still, with sexualization of characters that explicitly look like children but are "totally a 200 year old vampire bro". This is especially true of anime and video games with anime-inspired artwork. I'm not saying that all video games or animes are like this. Nor am I saying that all gamers and anime fans are closet pedos. What I am saying is that there's serious problems in these communities that must be addressed. The pushback in spite of my non-condemnation of the whole is kinda hilarious. I do understand how my first comment could be misinterpreted.

Never thought I'd get into an argument where somebody thought sexualization of minors was a good thing though, so I guess that's a new experience at least.

Sorry didn't realize that sexualizing children is fine as long as they're virtual and could never possibly lead to increased numbers of child sexual assaults.

Not gamers. Closet pedos.

It's like how not all anime is for closet pedos. But there's certainly a whole fucking lot that needs to be named and shamed.

Hey pal, I'm also in my 20s and skibidi toilet is at least mildly entertaining.

Yay pseudoscience!!

There's even a song!!

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?

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 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.

Less than as smart as*

"It's okay that it's a racist, sexist shithole full of threats of violence because I, personally have never seen that so it must not exist. Additionally, as I personally have never seen it, you must have a ridiculous view of what extremism might be... in spite of a US senate report that goes directly against my point."

Again, material choice is not the issue at hand.

When Americans already can't read, you're seriously suggesting doing away with requiring English for all 4 years? I understand wanting to change the material, but that just seems really heavy-handed and counterproductive.

Sand tiger sharks, the ones the fact is about, are live bearing, but some sharks do lay eggs.

If you want to learn a lot more about live bearing fish, look into how to breed guppies. Especially if you have kids, it can be really cool!

Which is accurate. How often have you seen somebody spend 30 seconds washing their hands in a public restroom? For me it ain't exactly common

Yes, and the ones that show air dryers to be healthier are funded by... hand dryer manufacturers.
