counterpoint boba, but people complaining about paper straws is one of the silliest things to result out of climate “action”
obviously if you are injured or medically need to use a straw ie you have parkinson’s etc. you need a straw, but paper straws are not that bad and carrying around a metal straw is also not that bad if you dislike the paper straws / use straws often enough to justify a metal one
I guess I just reject the framing that it’s a tangible sacrifice to stop using single use plastic stuff, which should have been common practice for years before it happened
counterpoint boba
I’m okay with boba dying completely just to watch boba libs scramble to find the next superficial Asian thing to hang their entire identities on.
The only time I use a straw now is when it’s given to me at a restaurant—I figure the server won’t take it back for reuse even if I don’t touch it so at that point smoke em if you got em right?
If restaurants stopped giving them out my usage would drop like 98%, and I bet it’s a similar story for a lot of people
Paper straws suck, both literally and metaphorically.
+1 for metal straw - make sure it’s got a silicon tip tho so you don’t fall and impale your fuckken head
