What about climate change? Don't you care about saving the planet?

If you can use your GPU at full power, why do I have to drink out of a paper straw?

Is this serious? Paper straws were partly about moral panic about ocean plastic getting in to animals, and don't seem directly related to climate change.

I live near a McDonalds and I'm fucking glad I don't see plastic straws in the bushes next to the sidewalk any more.

I no longer use paper straws. Instead, I carry around a reusable metal straw that I wash after every use with copious amounts of water.

I don’t drive a car, have kids, or travel much. Those things matter more than the power state of my GPU by orders of magnitude.

A single commute to an office by car likely uses more energy than a lifetime of PC gaming.
