So the 40 years of experience doesn't mean anything to you? Maybe think about taking your brain off autopilot for a bit.

When the first words out of your mouth are credentials i stop listening. Get someone else to stroke you off.

I get turned off by self stroking puffery too, but in a hearing setting I think they are just trying to establish their credentials for the audience.

I get it. My only point is if you want me to take you seriously don't introduce yourself as, hi, im a doctor. Hi, im not impressed. You know?

In a tweet, or thread, characters are limited. You have to get to the point and add support for why you believe your opinion matters. Credentials help. It’s applied regularly in fields with interprofessional collaboration — when you go to the hospital, each specialty tells you who they are, what they do, and why they’re doing it. Hell, any time we want a problem solved by someone else we ask for proof of credentials via name/badge number, requesting a supervisor, asking for clarification of personnel’s role or extent of role in something, etc. Etc. Credentials matter for a lot of things, expect for Jill Biden lmao. She doesn’t teach or do jack shit where it would be logical to use her title. End rant

If she would have just said graphic designer I would have never commented on it and we would never be having this discussion

Xir is an EE. EEs are either autistic or retarded and most of them lack any sort of creativity.
