IANAP, but as I understand it, local clusters will remain close together due to the stronger forces of attraction they have on each other. As these clusters constitute several galaxies, I assume groupings of atoms would also stick together.

Yep, there's a sweet spot where gravity overtakes the expansion due to inverse square law. And of course, atoms and molecules are held together with forces that are stronger than gravity - at those distances, at least
I had the same thought.
Did we ever find out if expansion works faster in large areas of vacuum or did it turn out to be fairly uniform no matter the density of matter?
Still being figured out, recent measurements made the hubble tension worse and we're currently trying to better understand how voids influence the movement of galaxies; one possible result which could be the discovery that the universe isn't inflating at all (unlikely but credible enough to be investigated).
Uh, cosmology crisis tho
You can be fat without eating too much and it is okay to be fat.
For some people being fat is like being red-haired, just genetics and for others it might be caused by illness. In all cases, fat people still deserve respect.
I say this because stupid myths about and prejudice against fat people cause a lot of harm and even death.
So does being fat though,
Excess fat lives in your tissues and puts more strain on your body.
This is never good.
Fat doesn't develop without being fed. You can't get fat if you use up the energy you eat. There might be unfavorable genetics but people are still fat because they ate more calories than they burn. Everything else is just a pathetic excuse.
While people shouldn't be shunned for being fat, it is always unhealthy. Stupid myths about HAES also cause a lot of harm and even death
I also thought it odd that the strip had such a nice setup for a crude fat joke.
Haven't seen many Cyanide and Happiness comics, right?
