minus-squareDroggelbecher@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 days agoHow do you know someone has a PhD? When it becomes acutely relevant, they’ll politely let you know, and then you can become annoyed at them about it. Thinking about it, that exact thing also applies to other ‘how do you know someone is/has/does […]’ as well.
