In context, me saying 'You can just do that' means 'You should do that' (barring there being good reason, which I haven't seen so far).

In context, me saying 'You can just do that' means 'You should do that' (barring there being good reason, which I haven't seen so far). I hate that phrasing. It was weaponised by teachers in my youth. It's still used by some people to close doors and remove options without good reason. I'll make fun of it whenever I can.
