what's interesting to me about the concept of failing to reach decisive victory by the time meshnet arrives is that then it really would just separate into different tribes

lots of smart and well informed people have been predicting that america gradually becomes separated along ideologic lines in a sunni-vs-shia sort of sense

patchwork neighborhoods and occasional skirmishes in the street

but fascism or some other iteration of alt right political control has to be complete and permanent

or the dialectic is not destroyed, only delayed

like Franco in spain

for 20 years, while Franco ruled, sure spain was held to a conservative ideology. Then he died and Spain rubberbanded forward to catch up with the shittiness of the rest of western europe

BALKANIZATION IS INEVITABLE

AFTER THAT, INVASION

SAME THING THAT HAPPENED IN ROME

realization: coarse ground coffee is readily available, and so are metal tea strainers. Coffee makers of all sorts including french presses are entirely unnecessary

I use a chemex

It usually takes disposable filters but I got a metal reusable strainer for it, a little cone that fits into the top. Ground coffee goes in that, hot water gets poured in, coffee collects in the bottom

I think using coffee in a tea strainer would really depend on how fine your coffee grind is. Coffee is often ground finer than tea and the tea strainer mesh may not be tight enough to keep the coffee grounds in. Maybe you should get your own grinder to control the size of the grind.

literally just cup and one of these guys

Sex toy?

if you like, but that seems a little small to fit a hamster into

It's a tea ball

For brewing loose leaf tea

yes

I have one of these:

worked well for a while, but seems to have become clogged, drains too slowly now

might be some method of cleaning it that would fix this

otherwise very convenient: fits right on top of a mug

sometimes I just put loose leaf tea right in the cup

most spergs need to get to the point with their writing

I feel like most of the places people write their little blogs/articles, the content could be summed up in a few bullet points, but that would be less satisfying for the writer to look at

I agree

I used to write longwinded rhetoric, but now I find that if I write anything I always end up going through several drafts to try to cut out the unnecessary, to boil down

I could've made that accountt post about vertical vs horizontal structures of power into an hour long read easily, but I went out of my way not to

anyone with a 3 digit IQ probably reads a lot, so it seems courteous to shorten & condense

I partially agree. If you're a good writer, then I don't mind reading the article. Some points or arguments need space to be developed. But most blog posts are just spergs not getting to the point so in effect I agree.

see a long time ago I had a public blog - tempting to do another btw - but I had a public blog and I'd write long ranting posts and then for the benefit of readers put TLDR at the top with bulletpoints

then I noticed if you cut off the whole rest of the article it was still 90% as good

TEA BALLS ROCK

SIMPLEST SOLUTION

YOU HAVE TO WASH IT EVERY TIME BUT TAKES ON 2x TIME TO DISCARD TEA BAG
