    I still drink/love/crave milk, but have long-since graduated to half-and-half. Heavy cream in my pure keto phase was arguably crossing the line.

    Dated a mixed girl in college about the time “Get out” came out. We saw it in theaters, and on the way out she asked me “what is it with white people eating cereal without milk?” And for some reason both this statement and her’s are both valid. I say this as a white guy who loves both milk, and eating cereal like snack crisps.

      During breaks after lunch, my office coworkers all grab small bowls of cereal from the break room and just eat it dry.

      I thought it was weird at first but the more I think about it, it shouldn’t be. It’s pretty much sugary snacks.

        normal people

        Drinking cows milk is normalized for most people, yes. But normal is a strange word for artificially inseminating another species, getting them pregnant, killing their baby, stealing their mothers milk then killing her way before she gets old. When you could just blend some oats.

          Oh, by “blending some oats” you mean: We sew out unnatural cloned mutant seed, then we spray it with literal poison over and over again to kill every plant and animal that isn’t cloned mutant seed, we add growing agent that kills all nearby water organisms, then we harvest it, remove all of the healthy parts and grind down only the unhealthy fatty part. Next, we add tons of god knows what chemicals to achieve a consistency oats were never meant to have. Lastly, we add tons of highly industrialized suggar and lab grown taste chemicals so that our chemical cocktail doesn’t taste like complete garbage.

          See, two can play that game…

          We artificially inseminate because it’s healthier for the cows and more convenient. They would be pregnant just as often or even more in a natural herd. There is (almost) no baby killing going on. I don’t know who told you that garbage. There’s also no milk “stealing”. Modern cow breeds give way more milk than is required to feed the calf. In fact, most cows would get an udder infection if not molken regularly (and no, this isn’t just a problem for high performance cows).

          You’ve never been even close to a real dairy farm and it shows!

        Where would one smoke? Should one instead permanently smoke damage the homes for the British aesthetic? Why not smoke outside where nature helps to cleanse and utilize proactively.

        Does less damage than a car on a 5 minute trip, but that’s only the rest of the modern world. It benefits the slothful.

          “are you saying i should damage my home when i can just damage the environment and everyone around me and make it everyone else’s problem instead?”

          yes. deal with your own shit, or if you don’t want to, don’t smoke.

          and your argument about cars is invalid on multiple fronts. first of all having worse things doesn’t make anything okay. you can’t punch someone out of nowhere and when called out on it say “well murders are more damaging so if anything I’m pretty chill”. second of all I’m anti car as well and would ban all cars except public transport and emergency services if i had the say. fuck cars. but fuck smokers more. at least there’s an imposed necessity for cars due to flawed infrastructure.

          there’s not only zero necessity for smoking but also no benefits and no redeeming qualities. I’d much prefer it if you were addicted to heroin because you can’t do it all the time everywhere and there’s no such thing as second hand shooting heroin.

    I’ve always thought the trope was based on the idea of stunted development. Kids are heavily encouraged to drink milk, so films making a point of adults drinking it are indicating that there’s some part of growing up that they’ve missed.

      It’s also not made for adults, it’s literally baby food for mamals.
      While some parts of the world have been drinking it out of necessity to survive (in colder climate) most of the world haven’t developed a lactose tolerancy.
      Adult milk drinkers are indeed freaks.

          Actually lots of the plant parts we eat did evolve being eaten as part of the survival plan. Fruits disperse seeds and keep us less interested in eating more vital parts of the plant.

              “Not particularly by us” OK then not particularly by anything by that logic, as we’re very much included in the wide range of animals who’s dietary needs have conditioned the evolution of fruit-based seed dispersal. Fact of the matter is we’ve been eating and pooping out seeds for the entire existence of our species and likely the entire existence of our mammalian lineage. We did evolve to eat fruit and they did evolve to be eaten by us.

              We evolved to benefit from our own milk, too. Though only for the first year or so of life.

            It’s actually really easy, you put them in a blender with water and then squeeze them in a cheesecloth so the proteins come out. And you can make crackers with the dried leftovers.

            But oat milk > almond milk and for that you do unfortunately have to milk thousands of tiny little oat titties.

              I’ve never seen someone drink half & half the way people drink milk. Like just a straight glass of half & half.

              It is used almost exclusively as a substitute for heavy cream in recipes, so my mind considers it cream.

          The opening narration confirms that the Dude is in fact, not a hero (emphasis mine):

          […] I only mention it because sometimes there’s a man… I won’t say a hero, 'cause, what’s a hero? But sometimes, there’s a man. And I’m talkin’ about the Dude here. Sometimes, there’s a man, well, he’s the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that’s the Dude, in Los Angeles. And even if he’s a lazy man - and the Dude was most certainly that. Quite possibly the laziest in Los Angeles County, which would place him high in the runnin’ for laziest worldwide. But sometimes there’s a man, sometimes, there’s a man. Aw. I lost my train of thought here. But… aw, hell. I’ve done introduced him enough.

          Leon is a hitman, but he’s also probably learning disabled. He rescued a girl from the mob.
