Show a rabid Trump republican a picture of voters at a polling place and inform them it’s in a democratic stronghold and record what they say. I’ll wait.

It varies by state, but the simple answer is yes, the same would be true. Neither hypothetical tshirt is likely to lead to allegations of electioneering today given the slogans are no longer central in political discourse.

Which is prohibited in polling locations in Georgia. That is why they were asked to leave. You can wear costumes to vote as long as they don’t constitute electioneering. The definition of electioneering can be fairly broad however. Wearing a black lives matter tshirt, for instance, has been considered electioneering.

The argument goes like this: Georgia, along with 11 other states, has prohibited filming and photos in polling locations, which is a legal prohibition in the public interest that has been upheld by the courts.

It’s not quite generally prohibited, but Georgia is one of 12 states where it is prohibited.

Yeah fair enough, I was just highlighting the irony.

The best part of this is you would need to give them your personal information to pay them, and you’d need to accept the necessary cookies for them to know you’ve paid when you access the website. 🤣🤣🤣

Lol

Oh no.

First of all, a vodka martini isn’t a classic martini. That’s why you have to say “vodka” before martini if that’s what you’re ordering. A martini is made at any reputable establishment with gin. I’m sure you could say “rum martini” and any established bartender would raise an eyebrow but make your order.

That said, 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.

Then after I’ve vomited on the bar, they wheel me home on a dolly.

Edit: my actual standard order is Beefeater, extra dry, one olive. Keep it simple and classic.

I’m sure you “think” a lot of things. Unless you hang out exclusively with white people, there are a lot of people that think drinking a glass of milk is weird. They just don’t tell you, because they’re polite.

If you’re in the United States, perhaps you’ve heard of the show It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. The show characterizes the McPoyles as particularly weird people. One of the ways they create that characterization? Them guzzling milk.

Dairy “products” are a different 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.

You’d have to actually be around people regularly to see that it’s unusual. If you’re just in your own house or with the same people every time you go out, then no one is going to mention it.

Honestly, it’s unusual. I make a high salary and part of my job requires regularly socializing with new people–clients, investors, new friends, etc.

I’ve never seen a grown adult order a glass of milk and drink it. I wouldn’t judge someone for doing it, but I would criticize their perspective if they thought that was normal, and I would try to figure out the context they’re from where that’s normal behavior, purely out of curiosity. If they’re already in a social environment with me, there’s already some social capital committed, so I’m interested to know more about why someone would think that’s normal behavior.

“Internet guy that likes Halo” does not qualify, so, while I think you’re being obtuse, I don’t care enough about you to continue this conversation.

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.

I find it pretty disgusting to even watch on TV or something (McPoyles), but I don’t sit around staring at people eating or drinking things that I find distasteful so I can judge them; in general I try to not judge people for having different tastes and tolerances than me.

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.

I like how the small fraction of adults that drink milk are 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.

Demographically speaking, the highest percentage of lactose tolerant people are some variation of white, western or northern European. So in that sense, yes, it is a very narrowly defined segment of adults in terms of regional location and/or regional derivation for whom the majority of adults can comfortably drink a glass of milk.

Are you subtly trying to say you assume most people on Lemmy are white? Or rather that somehow speaking English contributes to the ability to create the lactase enzyme? Both seem like incorrect assumptions at best. Regardless, dismissing 70% of the planet because you just arbitrarily assume they aren’t on Lemmy is… weird.

Perhaps you just meant you assume the majority of people on Lemmy are American or European? In which case you’re still looking at 40% of adults that can’t easily digest milk. That’s just the people physically predisposed to find it disgusting. There is surely also some amount of people that are lactose tolerant that also think adults drinking a glass of milk is weird.

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.

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.

Edit: I definitely think of drinking milk as a white people thing. Similarly I think of men showering without using a washcloth as a white people thing. Neither are true of all white people, they’re just stereotypes I have, I guess.
