Modern dishwashers are incredibly efficient. They consume insignificant amounts of power and water compared to heating or cooling your home, or taking an extra shower.
Your opinions are your own, but I don't have the slightest hesitation in running an extra dishwasher cycle if it makes my life the slightest bit easier.
I remind you of what I was replying to.
>Her therapist said not to rinse the dishes & just run the dishwasher twice, even three times if that’s what it took to get them clean. It was a game-changer for her, one that enabled her to do a small task in an imperfect way just to get it done.
This is not about efficiency of the use of the earth's resources. It is about the modern-day priests of America (therapists) telling people that it is okay and good to simply put no effort into anything. That it is acceptable to "struggle to wash dishes" Instead of this person being checked into a mental hospital, instead they are given a coping strategy.
What next? Not doing well in school? Don't worry about it, just use AI to cheat! Not making enough money? Just steal, what's the big deal? Don't beat yourself up, you don't have to be perfect, just get through the day with all your fucking spoons.
