Must be a cultural thing. Where I’m from, if a doctor doesnt call you by name it is a red flag. It means they didn’t read the patient’s file. Teachers would flag student doctors negatively for it. You treat people, not loosely grouped collections of symptoms. Nurses are also strictly trained to call people by name (perhaps by Mr/ms surname, but that’s part of a holdover from reinforcing hierarchies), you know why? Because our hospitals have wards of anything between 12 and 30 beds and up. Calling “Sir please return to your bed” means nothing with 40 men in the same room, you have to be specific.

On the other hand, if you work a position of power, most people will call you doctor. It’s lawyers fault, really, as they historically used to hold all the political positions. They insisted so aggressively to be called doctors that now anyone in a position of authority or hierarchy, however slight it might be, is called doctor, even if they aren’t. Including in the medical field. Tons of people who aren’t doctors in medicine are called doctors, students of medicine are called doctors from day one, administration staff in medical settings will be called doctor, etc.

It also reinforces the first part. Lowly patients must call everyone inside a hospital doctor, but doctors don’t owe any title to anyone below them. Sure, it might arise from general ignorance about how the education system works, but it also illustrates how titles are always about separating people into hierarchies. It’s just an academic dick measuring contest.

Because it is false.

Sorry, but, source?

There’s nothing I can find that suggests this is true other that Tibetan names are usually regular nouns and usually given by Lamas to the family. But in general it seems kids are named on their third day by the Lama, but also before they are born. Not at 13 years. There’s nothing to suggest that they’re just called child until puberty.

I found this, about way of life in Tibet.

Yeah, we got rid of nobility for a reason. Demanding being called sir, madame, doctor, etc. Is just a holdover of middle class envy towards aristocracy. I’d much rather prefer to be called by my name than some arbitrary words meant to separate people into hierarchies.

Even without democracy, power depends on the will of the in group to not conspire and kill the ruler. Every strong man knows this. They must keep the appearances or some other stronger person could gain the will to challenge and break them.

Just like any something-virus. It isn’t just one strain, it is usually a family of several diverse virus with slightly different features. Hanta virus has several varieties, this one is transmisible among humans.

Make original content, stop cross posting garbage.

From the crowd that came up with gems as “bank accounts are citizenship”, “transactions are free speech” and “attorney fees are justice”. Comes the latest madness “tax is a hate crime”.

I am, never once have I ever mentioned or blamed believers.

And religion is made to repress and control masses. This evil people are just using religion exactly for what it is designed for: to mind control groups in order to exploit them. If they can use religion even if they personally don’t believe in it, it is even worse.

Is that “bullet don’t kill people, people kill people” but for religion? Lol.

Wait, you are serious? let me laugh harder. Hahahahaha!

In Nevada, it wouldn’t surprise me. The US is indeed filled with assholes.¹ Most of the world though, has good Samaritan laws and you won’t face criminal charges if you were actively trying to save a life outside of extremely gross negligence. Many places of the world also have strong first aid certification programs that further protect those certified as long as they followed the standard protocol.

¹: Disregard that comment, Nevada does have Good Samaritan laws, that person’s friend is just a piece of shit.

If they are asking it is explicitly because it’s beyond basic first aid and they’re scared. The plane is landing either way, if they are already asking for a doctor, then the decision was already made by the pilots. Afterwards it’s a matter of providing proper care until delivered to a emergency services at the airport. All doctors I know will absolutely respond to such a call on a plane, but medical assistance doesn’t always include touching or doing something to the patient. Often, it’s just looking at them or talking to them (if they’re conscious) and advising the flight crew on what the proper care should be like. Ultimately, doctors are useless without proper infrastructure and resources. A surgeon without a hospital is as helpless as the patient and no first aid carries a pharmacy.

Bro, Grande is a word in like 4 different languages, but it’s a last name only in one, Italian.

This comment is outrageously funny to me. Because Ariana grande is not Hispanic in the slightest. Like, she’s so white she would stand out in the middle of a group of even vaguely Hispanic women like a sore thumb. But it just adds to the comedy.

Any security system based on expecting good behavior from people is sure to fail. If NPM has no estructural features to enforce safe behaviors, it is vulnerable by default. As no person using it will apply safe practices unless forced to. Specially if the default, easiest, less friction behavior, is inherently unsafe.

The second one is funny because it made everyone in the office realize that living conditions in a posh prison were way better than their life in Dunder-Mifflin. The guy was pretty nice, but Michael had to do it all about his race and eventually made everything so uncomfortable that the guy quit because of the hostile work conditions. They only realized he was exconvict because the government gave them a financial incentive for hiring him.

The first one is harsh because the dude was very obviously mentally challenged. He needed a good family environment and mental health care, not two FBI thugs harassing him.

There’s this character in True Detective first season who is a sexual crime exconvict. Of course he is the first suspect of the murder case.

He is a cognitively challenged folk, who got harassed, and sexually abused in prison. They cut his cock off and forced him to eat it. Gets dismissed as a suspect on the same episode.

He went to prison because he masturbated in public, at night in a rural remote area, once. And was unlucky enough to be seen. Not all convicts are made the same.

I also think about the office episode where they get an exconvict to quit because he found the paper sales environment to be too hostile with his personal history. He was convicted of financial fraud with the cushiest and most pampered convicted life.

At least it reveals that the bacon looks tasty, though the egg is burnt.

At least 3
