#name-dropping

Copypasta from my Twitter thread:

I know it's a lot to ask but I am begging someone, ANYBODY, to please compile a photoset or gifset of every name-drop by Tahani Al-Jamil from NBC's The Good Place and Alexis Rose from CBC's Schitt's Creek.

I told someone about a website, so I'm basically a hero.

An official title or college degree is not necessarily a good thing. It is, by default a reason to double check the holder. Then check them again. It’s a fact of life that many of the officials, officers, and scholars holding titles fail to fill, honor or understand their roles as leading, responsible individuals. Maybe worse, the majority use their titles to claim personal privileges that have absolutely nothing, to do with their special education or ability. A standard rank, title or degree does not make anyone a more able, or more trustworthy, or more likable human being. Neither does it justify more respect, nor a more carefree way of allowing them into your life. If you want to be fair with a holder, but also want to be safe, simply ignore their title. Do not let it become a factor in how you think or feel about them. This is also a good way to find out how much a holder depends on their title, to make up for a lack of genuine ability and self-assurance. If they become insecure, cagey or aggressive without you mentioning or acknowledging the title, it’s never a good sign. In that case best take care, keep your distance, and move on.
