It's almost impressive how emotionally volatile he is. Defensive as fuck and flailing, not even trying to tune the bullshit. Maybe he's just getting too comfortable, maybe it doesn't matter because if how cemented his power is, but can you imagine if, like, Hillary Clinton said some shit like this when she got oresson on Benghazi. Like "nobody thinks it was bad, if you ask me it's not bad enough and should get worse"

And then, when they observe that there's a lot of congestion (on account of all the people who insist on driving into the city from the suburbs), they complain that there are too many people. The circularity is beautiful.

Flexibility. The ability to prioritize. like what if you realize you have no clean towels, but your washing machine is full of other clothes?

You're right that it would be ideal to simply wash the dishes before they accumulate, but I often find myself in situations where I don't want to do dishes before and after I cook. Moving the tub takes 5 seconds, washing the accumulated dishes might take 5 minutes, and if all you wanna do is rinse some berries and make oatmeal before you run out the door taking 5 minutes to do dishes might not be on the table.

Ultimately the dish tub and keeping the sink clear is a strategy I learned to avoid domestic blockers. Regardless of what everyone else in the house is doing, I need to be able to use the sink without doing a bunch of extraneous labor first. And getting mad at them for being lazy or messy or whatever might feel good but it doesn't solve my problem. There are edge benefits like the fact that I never find accidental mold in my sink, which is nice from a hygiene perspective, but mostly it's that I want to be able to use the damn sink when I want to use the damn sink.

I would not. I separate staging from process.

A dish tub is a tub in which you put your dishes. It's like a bus tub but smaller. It's useful because it stores dishes outside of the sink, and you can also use it to presoak. They're honestly pretty killer if your apartment doesn't come with a double sink. Someday I will have a triple sink, but for now I use the landlord special and a plastic tub.

Common was a bad choice of wording. 'Not uncommon' probably would have been a better way to put it. It's more prevalent in certain cultures, often brought by immigrants from less economically developed regions. There are historical reasons for this, and we could get into the sociology of it, but the point is that where these people's parents or grandparents came from, rinsing meat made practical sense. Industrial agriculture and cold chain logistics remove any benefit to washing meat, but culture doesn't turn on a dime.

Important to note that "washing" chicken sometimes involves a brine and citrus soak, which is closer to marinating if you ask me but they call it washing the chicken. Washing under the faucet is just a bad idea but people do it and they mostly don't die. Another argument for breaking down socioeconomic barriers, I suppose.

They wouldn't sue, they'd just co-opt it. Embrace, extend, extinguish is Microsoft's MO for a reason, it works.

It takes up space, which decreases the utility of the sink and thereby increases friction to actually do the dishes. That's why I avoid doing it anyhow. Also it hides stabby things like knives, which is real dangerous, and if you're gonna get got by a knife its better that it not happen in a breeding ground for bacteria
