Not using it at all would be better, sure, but if you don’t have that option for whatever reason, reusing it is the next best thing. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.
You raise a great point about comments being seen as a counter by default. And if you try to give a disclaimer in your comment (like saying you agree) you still get downvoted for some reason. I’m very cautious about participating in any serious topics because of this, jokes, one-liners and sharing (unimportant) personal experiences are pretty much the only safe comments.
Come on over to Beehaw, where we don’t have downvotes, then!
It forces people to actually take time and effort to disagree with you, rather than just hitting one button, and somewhat unsurprisingly, that deters a lot of “drive-by” negativity.
It looks to be reusing a bread bag and an empty bottle, so those would have been trash. Reuse/repurposing is better than just throwing away.
Reduce
Reuse <- You are here
Recycle

But you’re right, my comment would have been more useful in reply to the other person.

Ah got ya. Since you were responding to my comment it seemed like you meant that I was letting perfect be the enemy of good.
Me no word good 😄
Nah, you’ve got a point, my brain is just fried these days. I definitely need a vacation.
No worries, I 100% feel ya
