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

Straw discourse was made up by the CIA to turn the populace against disabled people. I will not elaborate further.

They forgot to give me a straw at the drive thru today and believe it or not I was able to simply remove the lid and drink from the cup unhindered

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.
