people are still that gullible?
Yes.
Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm pretty sure she just leaves them in the strainer and does the "second pour" the same day.
Yeah, that's pretty much what I do. But I'm definitely not in it for the caffeine.
At the exorbitant prices Teavana extorted out of me, a second pour is the least I should get out of these things. They do also recommend it.

I don't reuse my leaves, even for the $10/can Ministry of Tea I use. It's never as good.
In the evenings, I drink TJ's decaf Irish breakfast, but it's not as good as the leaded stuff: takes longer to steep and just disappoints.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The Candy Cane Weapons of The North Pole
In matters of Christmas security, Santa’s Defense Forces rely on a homegrown candy cane-based weapon system. The heart of the system is the Candy Cane Carbine (C3), a modular candy small arm that can be adapted for a variety of roles, from close-ranged gifting to long range bah-humbug suppression. And for gravely naughty or armor-plated threats to Christmas and Santa, there is the candy cane of last resort—the Mark 12 Tenenbaum Launcher—which fires a ballistic christmas tree.
I just love the uniforms of Santa’s Little Secret Service/Santa’s Defense Forces....

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Because books.
I usually drink Twinings. Or, um, Tetley.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
In Moldova we used the tea three times, and would reuse from the previous day. Sometimes I reuse here, sometimes I don't.

Seriously, Teavana is three times the price of Upton!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
We always get Tower of London tea by Harney & Son's for Dad for gifts; it's pricey, but it's WONDERFUL.
Regular tea? Mom and Dad buy from Stash Teas in bulk. Seriously.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
My boss's son studied in China and got hooked on local tea. he has a business importing really fancy teas now. [link]
