        vodka and milk is not a valid recipe for a white russian. idk what the hell the dude thinks he’s drinking but it’s definitely not that.

          I don’t remeber what a White Russian should be made of from my bartender years, but if it was cream, well I stay with the Dude.

          At one point you’ve to prioritize your calories.

          Kahlua - necessary Vodka - necessary Cream??? > Milk

              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.

                  50/50. Half cream, half whole milk… But the few times I’ve tasted it on its own, it is much closer to cream imo

          That’s cause you’re young.

        only one of these could be called a hero.

        leon is at BEST a very dark shade of morally gray as a former child soldier who was raised to be a hitman by the mob.

        and the dude is just the dude. he just wanted his damn rug back.

          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.

          The Dude is just a guy who likes bowling, but he’s pretty cool and that’s enough for me.

    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.

        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.

            How is me damaging a home that I rent in order to damage other’s experience a better solution than just you know, using the carbon cycles that exist at a tangible rate?

            Cars are a pollutant, the only ouright negative of smoking is pollution of lungs. However as you prefer heroin, maybe you are just outright wrong.

            Other than that, ashes are good for the earth. If you use a filter then that’s pollution, I don’t.

            Zero necessity is in my opinion wrong. I don’t need these, but they historically and traditionally have been used as both heat sources in the cold. Meditative guides and casual incenses are just smoking but without even any outright pleasure.

            Then again, you sound like a child of modernity and have not seen the aeons before you. You use the name pyre and know not the meaning. Hate for the smoke of which you would dispel.

              “I’m just polluting lungs” is a wild defense lol

              the garbage you smoke has nothing to do with incenses. also you can light a fire without all the extra toxic shit in a cigarette so the heat source claim is ridiculous.

              love the poetry about fucking smoking though. it’s almost like you don’t smell like an absolute dumpster everywhere you go.

                You smoke cigs?

                With all the potentiality, you limit your capability to something so processed and far from it’s conception.

                I absolutely hinted against the notion by mentioning filters. It is all poison.

                No it is not a wild defense, and the thing you keep saying about smell is due to people who smoke inside. That literally is the consequence. However, you are too dense to understand consequences, liability, or any form of tangibility of nature.

    I grew up with milk being the main dinnertime beverage, and I still drink it quite a bit. My step-son’s gf clearly did not, and clearly thinks it’s strange, but tries to be polite about it. She’s asked me if milk is my favorite drink, if I feel like milk goes with most food, and a number of related questions. I think in her family, milk is something some people put in coffee.

        You’ll get there. It probably makes you farty already and you haven’t just connected the dots. Basically every adult human will develop more and more lactose intolerance as they age.
