Yes, the Democratic party is against the working class. Yes, the Republican party is much, much, much worse. Yes, you have been out of the loop if you need examples.

I think you misunderstand. Psychologists may presumably refuse to work with individuals with this user's particular neurodivergence.

It's not exactly the same as a real life situation, but Tony Soprano's psychiatrist eventually refuses to work with him over some (perhaps misdiagnosed) sociopathy.

I don't think that speaks to my point. Capitalism is flawed with or without nepotism.

Nepotism obviously existed before capitalism, and it will surely exist at some level in the next economic system, but it's not an either/or. There are many, many problems with capitalism that would probably still exhibit if nepotism somehow immediately ceased.

If nobody is paying attention, then nobody will care about not getting paid. It may sound disappointing, but I'm sure a German who wants something specific can find ways to get to it.

I'm a smart-ass. It cuts nails.

Yeah and it's giraffe, not jiraffe. See how that gets us nowhere?

[–] derekabutton@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Debunked? Its a counterpoint to the fact that it's pronounced that way because it's spelled with a g. If that poor argument wasn't used, the giraffe one wouldn't have to come up. It's not evidence of anything other than that letters can be pronounced in more than one way.

For the graphical thing, imagine pronouncing NASA wrong because of the way aeronautical is pronounce. Or underwater in scuba. World in WHO? The I in AIDS isn't pronounced anything like immunodeficiency.

Your argument doesn't work either.

[–] derekabutton@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

With the other pronunciation. Some letters have more than one. Your statement is nonsense lol
