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

    The only good thing about plastic straws is the musical noise they make when they rub against the cup lid.

      Sometimes I just want the whole movie theatre to know that I'm almost out of drink but still thirsty. What am I supposed to do? Only rattle around the ice in the empty cup?
