After a few of us went out drinking still more, the one (gay) (Brazilian) (STEM) post-doc who I know from around town turned to me at one point after he had boughten a round, and was like, “Buy, because they are still students.”
At the third bar of the night, this one (biracial) (American) undergraduate began asking me for my professional opinion on American political elites and human sacrifice – he kept saying very intensely that he takes it seriously, because we’re “spiritual beings” – and my one (Brazilian) friend somehow got very mad at me for talking about the logic of animal and human sacrifice, including in relation to Jesus Christ, since he said that his death wasn’t about that, it was about overcoming personal challenges, and I’m making it bloody.
At a pizza place after that, too, he was remarking that (Americans) drink too much, whereas in (Brazil) you “protect yourself” with water throughout the night, as well as by ending with food.
