So I got this brutally utilitarian tea kettle/infuser set up for like $15 bucks a while back... its basically just pyrex, pretty sure, with the metal insert infuser section.

Had made a bit of instant coffee with it, and uh haha, just tore up some teabags I had had, thats like loose leaf, right?

No, no it isn't.

Finally got proper loose leaf tea to use in it, and it is just fantastic.

Its like the one element of my life where I can't escape hilariously evil capitalism.

Its not that I hate myself, its that I wake up every day furious to be living in this system.

I do give myself grace on things that I just actually cannot find a less evil alternative to, things I cannot go without, without that likely leading to my death.

I know you are trying and that's important, but don't take things too seriously, brother.

You're a good person if you even think about trying to do the right thing. All roads lead to the heat death of the universe.

Enjoy the ride.

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
