I'm still not sure we've understood each other, but the system in science, engineering etc. is that people get paid to do a PhD (with the money ultimately coming from the funding organisation, government or otherwise), and don't pay anything on top of what they previously paid for their earlier degrees, which could only be a Bachelor's degree, and in Burgerland and Bongland often is. It may be a poor financial decision for other reasons (e.g. delaying the start of a career), and some "PhD degrees" are just people being low-paid servants for professors who claim all the credit, but it's not the same as something like an MBA, where you are paying the university to (supposedly) get you a better job.
My astronomy professor in college was a PHD in astrophysics and the first day of class he requested that everyone call him only by his first name because he hated formality. But then said “if you truly can’t call me by my name, then call me Dr.[insert name] because if we have to be formal we might as well be full formal.”
I think people have already mentioned it here, but there are generally two kinds of people who go for postgrad education on any given subject:
From my experience, only the Indian ones will insist on being called "Doctor". Back in the days I had a part-time job as a waiter and offended some Indian guy by calling him sir instead of "doctor". I then learnt that if you call them "Dr. something" they'll not only be happy, they'll give substantial tips. Especially if their colleagues and families were attending.
The reason is that Linus has a massive platform with over 10 million subscribers, and he is a spastic retard who doesn't understand how much power he holds. If he ends up saying that "All of AMD's products are garbage don't buy them", a lot of consumers will take that as gospel. So Linus should be more conscious of what he's saying because it can lead to a lot of brand reputation damage as we've seen in the last few weeks.
My guess it that the post was indeed written by the father and largely accurate, except that instead of suicide it was actually divorce.
And on top of that, LTT's content is not educational to the average person, it's entertainment with jargon thrown in. Hilariously, a lot of friends they invite in their videos struggle with the basics building a PC- even their co-workers who see these things every day!
Assuming the suicide story is fake (or at least unproven), then us Farmers should probably cut Linus just the tiniest amount of slack and not make a big deal out of these claims.
It's "entertainment" in its loosest possible sense.
Unfortunately, LTT fans proving the old saying, you give an inch, and they go a mile. Ian is being neutral, but that's what they want, something to punch down GN with just so Linus is on top no matter what.
It JUST came out fifty minutes ago. Give it a night and chances are Linus will upload to Youtube.
The Troon Tips nonstop copium binge continues.
Yea, skimmed through it and no direct mention of billet labs and no mention of gamer nexus. Also the accuracy criticism and loss of items are the shortest parts of the video. Most of it is dedicated to the work-culture, work hours, and HR stuff. Whatever PR team they've hired did a good job scripting his lines, and it will be more than enough to douse the flames. Lemmings love this gay shit.
They didn't steal the copper plate, Billet originally said they could keep it and then wanted it back once they said they were going to auction it
They're using emojis in business emails...
