You said this makes you “irrationally angry” and then went on to explain a rationale behind why it makes you angry. I just want to note that’s pretty much the same misuse of a term as the one you’re complaining about.

Among the empires you just cited, let’s consider the wars, atrocities, assassinations, crises, and plagues they perpetuated and endured

You’re not wrong about all the things that have happened, but there are lots of countries around the world over that same timeline who have had a much worse go of things. The US has been the most powerful country in the world, so what happens here has an outsized impact, however this is just another facet of “American exceptionalism,” that the bad things that the US has done or had happen are somehow more special than all the bad things that have happened everywhere else.

“Antibacterial” soaps aren’t strictly banned in Europe, but many of the ingredients used in antibacterial soaps in the US are. Sorry these dense mfs giving you grief
- Comment on Crosspost if you agree! 2 weeks ago:
The term “anti-bacterial” is a marketing term. It doesn’t indicate anything about the specific ingredients in a product. For example, triclosan and benzalkonium chloride are banned in soaps in the EU but in wide use in the US. Products in both regions can be marketed as “anti-bacterial” but contain completely different ingredients. You’re willfully ignoring what I first said while falling head over heels for product marketing and implying I’m the one who’s not smart lmao

Ditto

Regardless of the marketing term “anti-bacterial” on the label, there are quite a few specific ingredients in this area that are banned in the EU but in wide use in the US.

For real. Matches have much less to do with appearance or age than they do with bad profiles, poor chatting skills, or unpleasant personality traits

They’re not the best, but there isn’t a reason not to try if it interests you. A good friend of mine in his mid-40s was divorced from his wife and went on Bumble about a year and a half ago. He went on a handful of dates and only a couple months in met his new girlfriend. They’ve been together a year now, they’re doing well and she’s great. Point is there are lots of success stories.

Was Desert Storm World War 3? Or the Vietnam War? Or the Korean War? Or Russia’s invasion of Ukraine? Or the US’s invasion of Afghanistan? Or the US’s second invasion of Iraq? People constantly claiming “here comes World War 3!” makes it sound like you’re excited for that, which is depressing. The reality is it’s not World War 3, and world geopolitics do not portend another war on the horizon of the same magnitude as World War 2.
