This upstanding citizen, nahā¦
Oh yes. Despicable. I love my country more than I hate any one president or party.
Itās one thing if a lone moron decides to use his free speech rights do it, and of course I will ridicule that person too. But an entire university?? Fuck that.

Side note. Iāve always been conflicted about peopleās views on desecrating the flag. My grandpa has a small American flag signed by some governor that he met.
I mean Iām not gonna tell my own grandpa heās a dick for hanging up a signed flag, but Iām also definitely not doing that myself

I hear you. I think organizations should obviously stick with the proper display, but individuals for sure. If you want to fly something that has extra personal meaning to you (provided itās not tattered or something), yeah.
To me the purpose of the law is given by the term, ādesecrationāāa blotched, deliberately screwed up flag easily meets the definition I think.

My problem with it is that it is propaganda disguised as art. It lacks subtlety and is too obvious, thus too easy.
Youāre assuming these people think anyoneāll detect it. They think we donāt see it. And they think theyāre smart ā¦ thatās the funny partā¦
I know this a joke, but lolzā¦

Are Starbucks cups recyclable? I think one of the big things with straws is they arenāt BPA free and canāt be recycled, so they become a permanent landfill/ocean resident
Edit: NVM the article says the lids are recyclable, I just canāt read apparently
Stuff being āRecyclableā pisses me off. The important question is, do you have any recycled paper or plastic in your cups, straws or lids? If the plastic is actually being re-used, then it isnāt going into a landfill or worse yet, the ocean.
But if the producers, like starbucks arenāt buying straws and lids made out of recycled plastic, they arenāt doing shit.

Seems thatās why theyāre making the switch now. I think weāre going to see a lot more go that way as countries put laws on straws and big international guys wonāt think itās worth it to maintain 2 different types of supplies when they can just cash in on good PR
In a world full of real problems like genocide and an ever growing number of nuclear states, Iām glad that there is something stupid and ineffective that I can do to feel better about myself.
Thanks Starbucks! I may not be able to to solve the worlds problems, but at least I can feel good about myself while not doing it!

I hate the paper straws they are using now. Sipping coffee through soggy cardboard.

Thatās true too. Iāve always thought recycling was a way to make consumers feel better about buying a bunch of shit that they donāt need that will likely end up in a landfill. āBut I dropped it in the bin, so itās ok!ā
I donāt know about anywhere else, but I do know for a fact that my own community and all surrounding communities do not in fact recycle. We all have the bins, and the truck comes around once a week, but it all goes into the same pile at the landfill.

Whatās your point? I canāt be concerned about womenās issues? #metoo
The point is, only women sip coffee. Anything past that is your interpretation; of which I can not help. #iscreamyouscreamweallscreamforicecream
Itās incredibly misogynist to assume that women like sucking on something that feels like soggy cardboard.
