"They" in this sentence denotes Americans collectively, not just Americans who drink. Although yes, in actual fact outside the world of grammar, it's only the alcohol-drinking Americans who are consuming more alcohol, the sentence doesn't break "Americans" into subgroups in the way that your sentence implies.

It's horrifying to me that any of these fucking games are running outside userspace. Is anti cheat the only reason why that is necessary? Why is it necessary for anti cheat?

And yet with Firefox+ublock it is still 10000000 times better than its competitors.

You don't own your Kindle books because you bought them from Amazon

I don't own mine because I pirated them

We are not the same

edit: I actually try to circle back around and buy physical copies of any book I really enjoy. But I'm much better about paying for video games, tabletop games, and even journalism than I am fiction... I think my bezos resentment gets in the way a bit there.

I'd be interested to see any sociological evidence supporting that theory if there is any.

Okay, but "never have I ever understood why X" is just turning "never have I ever" into a platform for random opinions like what happened to the Kermit sipping tea meme.

Whoah, managing that in Florida is no joke! At least you have access to seafood.

I like seeing a group evolve and form good friendships. I also like sci fi and weirdness.

You better get on that Scavengers Reign train. There's only one season right now, but it rules, especially from a "weirdness" perspective, and there's not going to be more unless it gets some more attention.

No doubt! But as others are pointing out in this thread, words often migrate from culture to culture and I don't think using "thicc" is any more than using "cool" is (which also used to be edgy, AAVE-sourced slang).

"OH LAWD" in all caps hits different to me. It sounds like caricature of an accent, not just earnest adoption of a fun word.

I don't think "thicc" is AAVE. That is pretty much an Internet-ism as the original post says. "OH LAWD" though, yeah, is cringe.
