Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

No? The person I replied to listed business people and lawyers, generally people who wear suits to conduct their business. If they're wearing a suit, I don't assume they're performing surgery.
No, that was never stated, you either replied to the wrong comment or made it up.
Anyway, your argument is still pretty much bullshit, because you're conflating a necessity and a cultural practice.
A surgeon doesn't wear scrubs or gloves because their super stylish, but because they don't want to kill you. That's what grown ups call a necessity.
A lawyer's uniform has no practical value. It's simply a cultural practice. Business people don't become bad at businessing just because they wear t-shirts, it's just a cultural practice that they wear suits.
