What shitty advice is this? If the sink is the last thing I wash, it will lead to unnecessary buildup, bacteria growth, and bad smells.
What I do is I put all dirty dishes in the dishwasher until it's full, then I...put in a tablet and start it. That is how I avoid putting things in a sink. How do other people do it? Do you put things in the sink until the sink is full, then you move it from the sink to the dishwasher? That is the wrong way to start.
Of course this post only applies to people who own a dishwasher. If you can afford a $200/£160 jacket/video card with the money you asked your parents to "loan" you (which you will never pay back), you can afford a dishwasher, you unbelievably misprioritizing people.
