@SwarmShawarma and I'm a fucking aircraft carrier and its accompanying fleet, laughing at your adrift primitive broke ass
This is what it feels like when you haven't visited trp.red in a while:
My wife is in her 40s and just hitting her stride as an excellent housewife. She feels joy in learning to be submissive to her husband, and is learning all kinds of trad home skills, like how to skin/cook squirrels and make carpets out of yarn. "Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she smiles at the future."
This woman's problem is not that she is "past her prime". It's that she squandered her entire life for popularity, attention, and money, and has nothing of value to show for it. She is a useless, unfulfilled, purposeless woman, like millions of others without husbands/children.
The devil always collects his due. As her physical body slowly decays, only depression, hopelessless, and resentment will remain. She will gradually become a bitter old hag who still smears makeup on her face and dreams of the past.
Read MoreThis is a sign that things have actually come a long way. The author does not fully understand the concept of hypergamy but she does know it exists.
He answer to hypergamy is -hypergamy. Well of course, what else is a girl to do? The solution is more masculine men, the cream of the crop of current men are masculine enough, that is what a girl wants. That's right love, that's hypergamy.
I do wonder what most women would do with a more masculine man with more testosterone? Those qualities of drive, energy, strength, focus, courage decisiveness and so on that she admires can be turned towards a woman -usually in acquisition- but they are primarily the man's. Such a man has less need of a woman, more options, less need to please her, more desire to go out and find adventure, less fear of letting her know he is displeased. Its not likely to result in him taking her shopping more at weekends anyway. One doubts more manly men would be voting for as much feminism and free shit to be given out as weak men.

Key Study (2019, McGill University) Researchers steeped a single plastic ("silken") teabag (made of nylon and PET) at 95°C (brewing temperature) and found it released:
~11.6 billion microplastics
~3.1 billion nanoplastics
per cup. These particles matched the bag's material composition (confirmed via FTIR and XPS spectroscopy). The levels were orders of magnitude higher than microplastics reported in other foods/drinks at the time.
Subsequent studies have found similar (or varying) high releases:
Polypropylene bags: Up to ~1.2 billion particles per milliliter (hundreds of billions per cup, depending on volume).
Nylon-6: ~8 million per milliliter.
Some cellulose/paper bags: Still ~135 million per milliliter (due to coatings, heat-sealing plastics, or fibers).
Even "bioplastic" (e.g., PLA) or composite bags can release significant amounts when steeped in hot water. Heat, agitation, and brewing time increase release.
Not All Teabags
Traditional paper teabags often contain small amounts of plastic (polypropylene) for heat-sealing edges or gluing strings/tags. These can still shed particles, though typically fewer than fully plastic "pyramid" or silken sachets.
Truly plastic-free options exist: Some brands use 100% plant fibers (e.g., abaca, wood pulp, cotton) with stitching or folding instead of heat-sealing/glue. These release far fewer (or negligible) microplastics from the bag itself. Loose-leaf tea with a metal/plastic-free infuser avoids the issue entirely.
Many companies (e.g., some UK brands like PG Tips or Yorkshire) have phased out plastics, but transparency varies. Always check for explicit "plastic-free" or "compostable without plastic" claims, and verify via the brand's site.
Health Context Microplastics and nanoplastics are now ubiquitous (in water, food, air, and human tissues), and tea can be a notable source for regular drinkers. Particles this small can potentially be absorbed by intestinal cells. However, the long-term human health risks of this specific exposure level are still under study—acute toxicity was observed in water fleas, but human data is limited.
