Ah yes, cursing. The crutch of the unimaginitive.
Predictable.
Prey? Are U cursed?
So.
Provide a decision U can make that has no ultimate binary value, a yes or no to that decision.
I go to get ice cream from 31 Flavors. I use (as do most folks) a multistep process involving several decisions to make my selection. There are 31 possible options, my first decision (which happens to be non binary ie 1:31), is to consider what I usually select, pistachio. I next make the binary decision not to. Next I make a second non binary decision to consider strawberry (1:30),
finally I make the binary decision to get a strawberry cone. Nowhere did I make 29 other binary decisions to NOT pick chocolate, vanilla, rocky road etc. Those never entered my consciousness.
Tomorrow I go to my kitchen (which has a quart of strawberry ice cream in the freezer). I only consider having a strawberry cone, which of course is a binary decision.
These two scenarios are not identical.
Your description of decision making, only yes vs no, applies to simple, single step decisions where the potential final outcome can be known in some detail at the time of the decision making.
OMG. Wot part of the OP stating the ULTIMATE decision is binary is too complicated for U such that U feel the need to blab n blab on here?
"finally I make the binary decision to get a strawberry cone."

Which choice to choose from a myriad of options,would always demand a final choice, which would demand a final decision regardless of what the choices outcome is decided.
You are not making a decision when choosing. Choosing freeze frames reality, as choosing demands a thought process. The outcome of thought processing, concludes only as a final binary decision. Ultimately, decisions made, are seamlessly made, and are always binary. To stop and think about choices and choosing is to freeze frame the actual seamlessness of life’s infinite flow.
The mind can complicate the simple, or, it can simplify the complicated. The mind is either on or off, yes or no. Binary rules.

..ultimately.
Decisions are singular. Mental machinations that precede decisions are often hairbrained.

What's the difference? What would it mean for decisions to not be binary?

He's just stringing sentences together to mimic what he sees when people discuss philosophy so that he can look like he fits in and then he might not get banned the next time he drunkenly says that all dark skinned people belong to "shite cultures".

Same difference, a non binary decision doesn’t exist.

Well apart from the fact that would be incorrect, I have no idea. Indeed it would be a miracle.
I must be just attempting to look cool to all the extremely wise philosophers on the forum.

Who are you arguing against? Is there some philosophical school or group of people saying something contrary to what you're saying? I'm trying to understand the two positions at play here. Are there even two positions at play?

No, a question is different from an answer. I'm asking questions that I want real answers to.
