Comment on Anon lives on a budget
rumschlumpel@feddit.org 3 days agoPeople are downvoting you because you claim that they could do better but refuse to explain how. It’s hard to not take it as bullshit when you don’t substantiate your claim, and why wouldn’t people downvote bullshit in thread like this?

Anyone who isn’t doom-brained could read OOP and come up with some ideas for what they would do in that situation in approximately 5 seconds. Others in this thread have already come up with some excellent ideas.
But having dealt with this mindset in myself and others in the past, and seeing it play out n times on Lemmy, I could already predict the pattern, which you can see playing out again in the other comments which have provided object-level solitions - naysayers come along and start listing every reason under the sun for why that particular idea couldn’t possibly work. And also it sucks. And also if you do it you’re a bad person.
I’ll put it plainly - the solution is to start thinking of solutions. Your own solutions. They are the only ones you’ll ever actually believe.
