it shouldn't make a difference
but it makes a massive difference. especially in something like law.

naively people think they can go into it to make a difference. no. only after many years are you important enough to do that. at the beginning there is too much competition and you simply have to shovel what shit there is and play the game!

Nah, that's not a problem
The fact that you keep advocating letting poor people starve, deporting all darkies and a return to the days when only men on a high income were allowed to vote is working against you far more than your appearance.
