if tea flavor is good then MORE tea flavor is even better

Unironically true with high quality loose leaf tea. Outside of some niches (like gyokuro) I brew everything at boiling and without any particular care as to the length of the brew. Cooler temperatures and shorter brews are good for selectively extracting good tasting compounds in leaf that has good and bad tasting compounds, but the highest quality stuff is just good all the way through. So more temperature and longer brews just means more good in the cup.

And to be clear this is a tea snob perspective, I'm just an even bigger snob than most snobs. I look down on the snobs and their pathetic fragile low quality leaves.

the-democrat Americans live five dimensional lives. Those Chinese "people" living with only four dimensions could never understand our brilliance.

In the context of daydreaming, imagining is a very active process. In lucid dreaming, everything that is conjured simply happens independent of any active thought. I don't have to think "if there were a bear there it would have brown fur and be big and round with teeth and it might make a grunt that sounds like this" I simply go "I want a bear to be there now" and it just exists and does bear stuff as if I had been having a dream about encountering a bear independently.

Are your normal dreams not any different from daydreaming? If you have a nightmare about a monster chasing you it's not any different from imagining what a monster would be like while you're awake? Because for me those are two entirely different experiences.

Any "historical media" that isn't run by a complete history nerd with absolute control over every decision is going to have tons of shit like this. It's almost all terrible for anyone who has a clue about the time periods being represented.

That's why we should be careful not to frame stuff like this as "it's going to kill you!" Rather, it's going to make your life significantly worse until something eventually kills you, possibly something related to your choices.

Maybe you just don't get as vivid lucid dreams as most people. For me it is less like daydreaming, and more like absolute power in a world of my own design. I'm not just imagining something, I'm going "I want this to happen now" and it happens with all the sights, sounds, and feelings that involves.

My daydreaming certainly doesn't compare.

You can try, but you'll never find them. They live underground like lil gremlins.

how bourgie do you have to be to have a pet?

The homeless drifter with a dog is a classic trope though
