do any wizards like tea? specifically loose leaf teas? if so, any specific blends or varieties you like/recommend?


i recently got into gongfu brewing and it's pretty much the only thing i've been thinking about these days. i found this hole in the wall tea shop in the chinatown in my city and purchased a shou pu'erh tea cake that i've been picking away at.

I used to have green tea when someone gifted me a sencha bag from japan but now i just have black tea because the only decent brand in markets around here is Twinings. So i just have the earl gray or the breakfast red one with some milk and no sugar but some biscuits instead because i don't like water with sugar

I'm growing a mint plant. I've started taking clippings of it, hanging them to dry from a string, and then making it into tea.

This year most of my plants (zucchinis, strawberries, cucumbers) got messed up with the heat waves, tomatoes are really the only thing I have left. I don't want summer to end, going back to eating store vegetables and fruit is soul crushing. Not much money so no fancy organic food.

Do you garden? How long? What plants?
How do you deal with having to go back to tasteless store vegetables during winter?

If only you knew how bad things really are. ALL of the seeds are GMO now. They are modified to inflict these modifications on to other plants. They were made to be diseased and spread that disease.

>The Tale of the Fox (1937)
An old stop-motion animated film that still holds up today. From what I've read, the director used puppets of different sizes, including three life-size ones, depending on the scene. While the film has some technical flaws, such as some scenes being out of focus or too dark, and a strange script — the protagonist isn’t an antihero, but practically a sadistic jerk — I still enjoyed watching it. You can watch it on YouTube and many other websites.
>Porky's (1981)
My boss wouldn't stop talking about this movie, so I decided to watch it. Aside from the setting and a couple scenes—the one in the showers and the one in the principal’s office—I thought it was terrible. All the characters were either uninteresting or downright annoying. Plus, the dramatic scenes felt out of place among all the dick jokes. I guess it’s just not my kind of comedy.

Does anyone here do deadlifts? I'm thinking about working to get a god-tier deadlift. My first goal is to make it up to 405lbs deadlift and then see how far I can take it from there. Right now I can do 255 for 5x5. Any wizbros here with tips?

Right now I'm 80 lbs overweight and need to stop eating so much food. The problem is I'm addicted to food and since I'm a 28 year old virgin, it's not like I have much else to do so it's gonna be hard to cut back on the food. Does anyone also have tips on how to feel full and not feel the need to eat food?

This is wrong in two diametrically opposed ways and right in one way.

On one pole is the fact that I and many people would rather not be afflicted by the smelly air and stinky sweat of the obese. It's universally understood that fat people are unclean and their very skin excretes poison. Like cooties but for fat people. Foodies. For the sake of everyone besides him, I hope that sometime in the past 5 years that user has lost his excess bodyfat and he's no longer a pollutant. It's why I wipe the machines BEFORE I use them.

On the other pole, many who go to the gym have come to learn how good it feels to exercise and be fit so they become happy when they see others working towards feeling good. These empathic normaltards mentally invest in the hope that the fat guy loses his fat for the sake of his own health. Care is had that another unhealthy body becomes healthy for the mutual benefit of the beholder and the onlooker.

The way it's right is that there are a lot of people who just don't care, and that itself is split in to to opposed reasons. These people either don't have the cognition to process the quality of people they're sharing space with, or they've transcended beyond judgement all together. Neither afflicted nor benefited.

I like to read about
>Psychonautics
(or altered state of mind or how to play with your brain and sensations)
In general i read just about Hypnosis and magic/magick or ritualism, placebos, mind tricks, mindhacking, mind illusions etc.
I dont read much about drugs bacause i dont consume or have money for these (i dont want to turn addict) maybe in my 40 years i will try some drugs or heavy methods but for now i want to be healthy.
Its a fun insteresting hobby but is not a very good talk topic for normies.
Sometimes i talk with this with hippies new agers and some aspie science dudes, not the typical normie but they respect and have interest in these things around mind and body control and sensations.

The Roman Empire was the center of the world back then, and there was nothing like the art including paintings produced there in the entire world. Despite this nearly all has been lost to history and the surviving works are mostly wall paintings.
A similar situation exists for the written works, most books and letters have been lost forever.
There was no civilisation on the same level in the entire world with Ancient China coming in second place.

I think there was a thread here not long ago of a mage building humanoid robots. It was themed like the bible, with something about the female robot being eve and the male adam.

Look at his /diy/ threads. I think his obsession with his robots is interesting and admire his relentlessness but it is quite clear that he has no idea what he's doing. His arrogance when experienced people point out his ignorance is off-putting. That being said, I do not resent him and wish him all the best but looking at his track record it seems unlikely he'll get even remotely close to success.

Do you think we will ever have a breakthrough moment of mass adoption of robotics like we did with smartphones, computers, AI, cars?
Like the beginning of a new era where all kind of robots are embedded in every facet of society? I don't think a lot of people could imagine today back in the 50s or 60s.
Then again the tech might just stay at it's current level for decades.
Maybe the cost is just too high, mass adoption of smartphones only became possible when very cheap low-power computing became the norm.
I don't see robotics hardware dramatically dropping in price anytime soon. Maybe we'll see some attempts in the future to lower the price by mass production and standardisation, but then there have to be cheap makers and sufficient demand of robots too.
Anyway everyday tech did not have any dramatic breakthroughs since the mass adoption of smartphones.

I played some Yu-Gi-Oh! with my older sister yesterday, Forbidden Memories rules since we grew up on that. It was a lot of fun! I'm leaving my parents' house soon though, just came by to visit for the weekend, this got me in a Yu-Gi-Oh! mood yet again, I might play some more today, and when I'm home I think I'll pop in a video game to play solo as I come from work.

I'm 30 and I don't play it, but I used to in elementary school. 2 succ actually stole my pack of cards but got caught and had to give it back.
I remember really enjoying playing this game with other kids on the playground but they tried to steal or swindle these rare or expensive cards I had acquired.
I'm not familiar with the current game, but as I see it back then it had this early 2000s feeling/atmosphere about it which made it so fun together with the anime and the GB/GBA games. It must have lost this feeling surrounding it.

Do you have a driver's licence? If so, how did you managed to obtain it? In Eastern Europe, it's pretty hard to get one, a long and painful journey.

It took me almost 1.5 years (including the COVID shutdowns) to get one. I also had to wageslave to be able to pay for the training, it's not cheap around here.

My motivation was that I live in a remote, hilly part of a small town, right next to a forest and there is no public transportation here. I was hold hostage up here, totally isolated. Sound good, but I was totally dependant on my parents to get into the town. I couldn't just go to the groceries, that would be a 2+ hour journey.

It's my single greatest achievement and I'm pretty proud of it. Driving is very useful skill, and one that is realistic and obtainable for NEETs, wizards. A way to make yourself more independent from your parents, others.

What are your thoughts?

US has 14.2 traffic fatalities per 100k. China has 17.4. For reference Sweden is the lowest major country with 2.1 and Zimbabwe is the highest at 41.2. So there's not really much difference between the US and China. China has actually implemented stronger standards recently too and competition in the marketplace is such that unsafe cars don't sell well.

I hate how I hate to drive so much every day… often I get close to being involved in accidents and it reminds me that a small mistake can cause so much damage, I could become crippled or simply die because of a stupid error, maybe hurt or kill someone and ruin my life feeling guilty for ruining someone else. How do you guys deal with these odd feelings?

No, they make this absurdly expensive in my country, talking about the fees to get it.
But I also live in a city in Europe where I can walk to most things, don't even have to use a bike or public transport, so I can get away with this.
Living in one of those ultra-American suburbs where everyone uses vehicles seems unreal to me.
