Ah I hate that. TFW I wake up to like 30 inbox messages after knowing I said something controversial.

(With me it’s usually when I posted something about advancing disability rights).

And I just don’t have the mental energy to check it out, so I mark all as read and pretend nothing happened lol.

WHO doesn’t have a great track record on COVID either. They denied it was airborne for years even though we had sufficient evidence to say so in 2021.

Right wing media usually don’t acknowledge Russia messing with elections because they can’t admit their saviour Trump had outside help.

Nobody fucks? Russia is fucking with elections all over the globe.

I’m not gay, but as someone in another minority group (severe disability). I won’t make it my entire identity when I am given equal rights. Until then, it’s a big part of me, because I have faced a flavour of oppression that has shaped me in a certain way and can only really be understood by those in the same shoes as me.

The thing though is they replaced polluting single use straws with less polluting single use straws.

If they actually wanted to do something useful it would have been nice to have multi-use straws ie. metal/wood/or even hardened plastic.

But I guess that wouldn’t be as suitable a source of income, and wouldn’t fit well with american consumerism and fast food culture, so here we are debating on the best type of single use straws.

As you said, the base problem comes from capitalism.

I honestly dont really like paper straws, I never got why metal or wood (ie. reusable) straws aren’t more common.

Not that I even need straws for most things. Most straws given out are mostly unnecessary.
