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

    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
