Oh no.

How dare you. I order my martini the same way every time: pure Everclear stirred with a single ice cube. Wave a bottle of vermouth over the glass while looking in the direction of France.
One olive or three, never even numbers. I’m not a savage.

Unless you hang out exclusively with white people, there are a lot of people that thing drinking a glass of milk is weird, they just don’t tell you, because they’re polite.
Dairy “products” are a separate concern. Most people produce some level of lactase, but a glass of cow’s milk is a separate thing.
Aged cheese, for instance, is a different thing. Why would aging cheese add distinct flavors? Because bacteria is digesting the sugars (lact-OSE) and converting it into other things.
I love cabot cheddar myself for cheap stuff. If you want to know the lactose content of cheese or other dairy products, if there are no added sugars, just check the sugar content. That’s lactose. If it says zero, it’s near zero.
I’ve never met an adult in my life, of any color, that orders a glass of milk and drinks it. I’m sure it happens, but I guess just not in the circles I run in.
- Comment on Lots of times the restaurants won't even have milk 1 month ago:
I’ve never drank milk as an adult, and I honestly don’t know if I can think of anyone I’ve ever known that has ordered milk alone (not in coffee or something) as an adult and drank it. I’m not white though, so idk. But a lot of my friends and coworkers are, and I’ve never seen it.
- Comment on Lots of times the restaurants won't even have milk 1 month ago:
I find it pretty disgusting to even watch, but I don’t sit around staring at people eating or drinking things that I find distasteful.
We could definitely have a dinner and you can have a tall frothy glass of milk right from the cow’s udder with it. If you’re fun to talk to and aren’t mean, we good.
- Comment on Lots of times the restaurants won't even have milk 1 month ago:
I like how the small fraction of adults that drink milk is downvoting you for actually giving helpful advice. Lol

One virgin martini please. Stirred.
handed cool glass with three olives in it Thank you, kind sir!

English is the most spoken language in the world.
Most lactose tolerant people are white.
Are you subtly trying to say you assume most people on Lemmy are white?
It’s pretty clear just by reading this thread that there pretty mixed opinions about the idea of an adult drinking a glass of milk. Some find it viscerally disgusting and others find it completely normal.
- Comment on Lots of times the restaurants won't even have milk 1 month ago:
Almost 70% of the global population of adult humans are lactose intolerant. Whether you think drinking milk as an adult is weird or not, it isn’t something most human adults can easily do without digestive problems, and, because of that, it’s somewhat unusual to many people.

I would rather attack you and make you cry because I have nothing else going on in my life and this is the one place I feel like I matter.
Cry for me please. Please?
- Comment on Why do people around me tend to increase their responsibility load (i.e. have children, become a manager, do charity, etc.) while I (30M) try to avoid it as much as I can? 2 months ago:
Interesting that it bothered you enough to comment on it.
- Comment on Why do people around me tend to increase their responsibility load (i.e. have children, become a manager, do charity, etc.) while I (30M) try to avoid it as much as I can? 2 months ago:
Because for many people maturing into an adult means taking on and being responsibilities. It gives many people meaning and satisfaction, often not at the individual moment, but over the course of a life.
Others don’t feel that way.
A third category think they don’t feel that way, but realize too late that they do.
- Comment on I notice Indians speaking English tend to speak very fast. Are the Indian languages simply spoken faster? 3 months ago:
No, they were pointing out that, even though English doesn’t use a separate symbol to each phonemic vowel sound, there are 20 distinct vowel phonemes. If we have each its own letter, there would be 20 vowels in English.

Bingo.
- Comment on People who park in the handicapped ramp boil my blood. 5 months ago:
Not that it’s necessarily the case here, but I destroyed my knee and had crutches etc for a while, and I just got a tag to hang from my mirror.
Someone walked up before I got out of the car yelling about how I can’t park there, and then I got out with my crutches and knee wheelie and pointed at the handicap tag on my rear-view mirror.
Again, probably not the case here, but I had that thing for about a month, and I caught a ton of dirty looks and stuff because people assumed all handicapped indicators are on license plates.

Things get ironed out very quickly.
- Comment on IT support work be like 5 months ago:
Agreed. I recognize it is the Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and The Woz. But the technology is so far beyond ever they created, even though we use what they created every day.
- Comment on IT support work be like 5 months ago:
My experiences with IT across multiple organizations is that they’re understaffed and not hiring particularly competent people.
The competent people they do have are generally egomaniacs because they’re the only person or persons in a department full of idiots, and they deal with idiots all day, so they assume everyone is an idiot.
Additionally, IT is SUPER territorial. Like, noticeably so. They have 1-2 people that know what they’re doing, but their whole staff acts like they’re as smart as their smartest person, which they are, unassailably, not.
Across three different organizations, I’ve had five members of IT fired for their arrogance. If you’re interested in doing this, simply hire an attorney, bring the smart person into the room with the arrogant idiot, and make it clear that someone in that room is going to not work for the organization two weeks from now, and then explain the situation.
If you feel attacked by this, you’re one of the idiot IT.
- Comment on What is an average person living in the US supposed to do about corporations raising prices? 5 months ago:
I watched it again at 1x, and I feel more convinced. The amount of inflationary pressure average people buying homes is going to cause pales in comparison to the amount caused by the very wealthy using them as investment instruments.
That being said, I’m not sure housing is always going to be the asset of choice for the very wealthy, but, I suppose, it’ll always be one of them unless the bottom falls out. Which seems inevitable. Nevertheless, the main idea–tax the rich at way higher rates–is true and always has been true. The real question has always been HOW to get that done.
- Comment on What is an average person living in the US supposed to do about corporations raising prices? 5 months ago:
I watched it, admittedly at 2x speed, and I’m really not sure I agree. It seems a but of a self-fulfilling prophecy that more people trying to buy homes, thereby creating more demand in the housing market, is going up increase the cost of houses, i.e., “getting in while you can” is only likely to increase the difficulties of being able to afford a home, but, I’m not an economist, so I really don’t know. Regardless, interesting video.

Eh, just sell one of your vacation homes (not the cabin obviously) and buy a quick house just to see if it works. Better than not knowing!
- Comment on What is an average person living in the US supposed to do about corporations raising prices? 5 months ago:
Do everything you can to buy a house? Don’t you suspect the housing market is going to take a dramatic fall within the next few years? That seems like asking people to catch a falling knife.
Tax the wealthy more for sure, but I guess I would suggest keeping powder dry and punching in at some point during the housing market deflation. Else you risk watching your equity dissolve and be worse off for the effort.

I’m judging you for not dreaming your own future and instead relying on dreams of the future that are 60 years old.
- Comment on Anon thinks about human history 5 months ago:
I find it humorous that you’re sitting around being irritated that we don’t live in the future imaginings of the boomer generation from 60 years ago.
- Comment on Anon thinks about human history 5 months ago:
You’re right, there have been no technological or scientific advances since the moon landing other than Tesla cars.
- Comment on King shit 5 months ago:
On a hot day with a light beer? Because if you’ve been working in the heat, it is really nice and cold and cools you off, and when you drink it fast, you get a little buzz that makes the heat less obnoxious.
It’s not a competition, but sometimes you just sit one down in ya, then you sit down in it, and you enjoy the second one more slowly for different reasons, ya cunt.
