Correct. 60% of the alcohol consumed in America is drunk by 10% of the population. Honestly most people fall into 1 of 2 categories: non/light drinkers, and heavy drinkers. For heavy drinkers this is not crazy and I don't think a light drinker is purchasing 90% abv absinthe

It's definitely unclear in BG3 but in actual D&D ceremorphosis kills the host and the mind flayer is formed from their body/mind/memories. So in Wyll's case volunteering for transformation would be a bad idea because he would immediately go to Avernus to serve Mizora forever whereas if he lives he still has time to escape his pact. BG3 says that mind flayers don't have a soul but the ones touched by the astral tadpoles do seem to retain their personalities. My interpretation is that BG3 ceremorphosis destroys the soul which is the only "true" death in D&D, so becoming a mind flayer guarantees you will never have an afterlife, which is a pretty big deal

Anyway, best choice imo is Karlach. She's dead regardless, it's not clear where her soul is going, and this way she becomes a selfless hero and continues some form of existence

Sure, but to regular switch owners the idea of going to some "sketchy" website, downloading an emulator, loading in a rom and starting is very intimidating. Not to mention it's questionably legal even according to people in the scene and so the average person probably doesn't want to fuck with that. We're lemmy users, we are not who Nintendo caters to

I know I associate with a few degenerates, but some of my heavy drinking friends could absolutely pound 2 fifths in a weekend. They'd be goddammed miserable on Monday but honestly that's par for the course. One of my buddies in college used to put away a case of beer over a weekend which is 30 beers, not much less than 2 fifths which is about 35 drinks

I suppose it depends on how one defines the weekend. If you start the weekend on Friday night then it's way more reasonable, say 8-10 on Friday, 12 on Sat/Sun is an intense weekend in Vegas. But if you drink 1.5 drinks per hour for 12 hours on Saturday/Sunday that's 36 drinks. Which I don't think is crazy for either a hard partying college kid or an alcholic

It's a little wild that

That's kind of the point she makes, race isn't really about it. It's about creating social structures to have an oppressed class and a ruling class. It has more to do with the circumstances of your birth (which does typically highly correlate with your class) than the "distinctions". Racism has no logical backing, so expecting it to follow logical rules is a fallacy

While it isn't exclusively about America the book Caste discusses how "race" plays into social strata. Specifically the chunk that discusses the Indian caste system and how it isn't exclusively based on skin color. It shows how the interpretation of "race" is a lot more flexible than racists would have you believe

M. Night Shyamalan's viral marketing for Trap is getting really weird

At first I thought "yeah but you're not polishing that off in a weekend" but that's basically the equivalent of 2 fifths of booze which isn't really a ton for a alcoholic or a hard partying college kid

If everyone wears bright neon clothes then nobody will be depressed! Remember how the disco 70s and the radical 90s eradicated depression?
