Exacta. I stopped bothering with ironing or separating whites from colors a decade ago. It doesn’t get bought if it picks up stains from other clothes, bleeds color to other clothes, or gets wrinkled even if I hang dry or hang it up hot from the dryer.
Only exception is merino wool sweaters (lay flat to dry) and a few dress clothes (dry clean only).
I think the thing is that most modern detergents work fine at like 30°C, so if you just wash at low temperature it’ll clean the clothes without leeching any colour.
It can just make it so that all colours and especially white clothes get “muddled” and look more worn faster. But if it doesn’t bother you then I wouldn’t separate them either, extra effort for no benefit

If it dies, it dies; but no way I’m going through the hassle of hand washing.
No need to actually hand wash. Most machines have a wools or gentle setting explicitly designed for hand wash only garments.
Survival of the fittest.
Same with plants. If they don’t like being watered very irregularly, they won’t survive very long 🙂
My tired brain thought that plants were a type of pants.
Plain pants? Pleated pants? Pleather pants? Oh - plants.
If you water your pants too often, go and see a doctor.

“This shirt is dry clean only, which means it’s dirty”
I’m guessing you do first few washes of new clothes separate from others because almost always they give out some colour at first

Nope, I just don’t care about it.
