   that "Doctor" is not a protected title in the US is such bullshit. majority of social media "doctors" are "direct certificate in nutrition" and such.

     @kaia@brotka.st Wait it's not? Here even the title for engineer (Ir., bachelor's degree) is a protected title.

     @kaia@brotka.st So whenever I say I'm a software engineer that actually means I have dicked around in university for a few years and earned that title.

     @SuperDicq see how it's phrased here: "most people call me", because he's not a fucken doctor.

     @SuperDicq @kaia imo software engineers aren't real engineers because they don't have professional standards and ethics they can hold against an employer who wants them to cut corners for profit.

     @kaia That’s quite the contrast, compared to the rigourous approach of our German friends on allowing and disallowing the use of that “Dr.” title, up until the inclusion on their identity cards.
