            I wouldn’t personally call “Gong Fu Cha” a ceremony, more like a “discipline” since that’s sort of the idea behind “Gong Fu” its the idea of get better at something doing it over and over again, so best translation for would be a discipline. Unless you meant Japanese tea ceremony, but that’s not really for tasting the tea its more like the tea is used for symbolism sake like say how wine is used in mass.

            I also don’t think it has that many steps? Preheat the vessels using water at the temperature you’ll be using for the tea, pour that water out, put tea leaves rinse the leaves with the water pour that out, steep the tea after say 10s pour that water out into a secondary vessel (probably a gong dao bei) pour that tea liquid into your small tasting cup and slurp to taste. Pour some more until you need start a new steeping, do what you did previously just slightly longer steeping time.

              Honestly I get lazy and skip the pre-heat and fairness cup, then it’s even faster/easier than brewing in a pot!

              Also tea people should check out !tea@possumpat.io! The only tea community I’m aware of on lemmy. Though it’s super inactive right now; I should probably contribute…

    Pairing Trotsky with a consumerist product is an insult. It would be shared instant coffee at the Slabs, and everyone drinking it would say the other coffee was stolen.

    Everyone knows the true test of a person’s character is the consistency of their grinder, not the brewer. (please don’t look on my kitchen countertop- it’s full of almost all of these and a single hand grinder. My forearm is crying for help)

    Posadism attempts to introduce elements of ufology into Marxist thought.

    WTF?

    …Arguing that only communism can allow the development of interplanetary travel.

    I’d argue that the infrastructure we need to colonize other worlds is going to require larger organized population than capitalism can provide.

    But as a reader that sees ideologies as starting points (that need to be developed so as to create a pathway to post-scarcity), I can’t say what the corruption-light system is that will allow for interplanetary colonization and trade.

    The fabricator IRL would be late-game magitech that manipulates huge amounts of energy. (A fabrication failure could annihilate a continent). Far, far, sooner, we’ll have the food-printer / turbolift system of Star Trek TOS to deliver us our custom-made coffee.

    Meanwhile, in 2024, we’re having a tough time escaping the gravity of fascism-driven autocracy.

      Sort of a pivot, but The Orville did a great bit about replicators and how if you dropped them into a society like 21st century Earth, they’d just end up coopted by the rich and further strain society.

      We can’t even have future nice things thanks to capitalism.
