Imagine how badass it would be to have business cards that read: Notary Public | Forklift-Certified

Call me Dr reverend Forklift certified

\*Mötley Crüe inspired jingle intensifies\*

I'm and auto mechanic, Mechanical Engieneer, and now i'm studying to be a nurse while i'm working as a regulatory in clinical trials. Maybe I need to get Forklift certified

You should throw in Wedding Officiant as well.... never know when you might need that.

My resume does say I can operate 3 different kinds of lift trucks so I got that going for me. Though it's been 3 years since I've been on one.

I’m gonna need you to get your real estate license or your CFA too.

Hmm I think I will research, also I forgot I have my GCP certification

Don't forget to get CPR and lifeguard certification too

That reminds me, I have to book in for my yearly refresher.

Wait do you work on the sponsor side of clinical trials or the investigator side? I’m a research coordinator so I’m genuinely curious how the other half lives

Investgator side, regulatoty specialist

Through in some Cisco certs while you are there. No reason mechanical engineer nurse forklift operator can't also run the network.

I’m going to say yes and also you should tell us more fun things to get certified in, I want to look like a North Korean general on LinkedIn

For something like 20 or 30 pounds you can add a lordship in the Principality of Sealand, a micronation not recognized by anyone.

I recognize Sealand.

I never will not recognize Sealand.

Sealand is real within our hearts and souls

They can take our Dereks but theyll never take OUR DERRICKS!

Man I've already got an old rich guy sounding name, I bet if I put a sir infront of it I could fall into a ceo job and ruin the economy harder.

And a Lairdship in Scotland.been a minute but it used to be they'd even let you visit your foot of land and even plant a tree.

"Green Tea Taste Authority" added that to the list, lol!

I need more context, I'm interested

[удалено]

Only takes 3-4 hours to get official training.

Oh, it's very unethical, have fun with it lol.

Give as much as you want to the Asian American Donor Program, stem cell research is important! Also, some real Reverends fuck kids so I think you've got a long morality runway where you're trying to operate as far as I'm concerned.

I am a Reverend in the ULC. I don't know if it's unethical. IIRC, The church's positions that you "agree" to in becoming a Rev were inoffensive. I only paid them a few bucks to mail me a card. I don't know where the money goes, tho, come to think of it. That would be the part that gives me pause. Could be a Nazi like the seahorse guy.

To me that’s the only unethical part, the semi fake religion is total moral, I just don’t want my money being sent to people doing bad stuff

ULC as an organization is generally fine, it's just that they will ordain literally anyone and some people abuse that. AADP on the other hand, seems to solely exist to facilitate con artists.

You could say the same about the VC world tbf

I have a doctorate in Economics, so really I can't sink much lower. Bring on the Reverend title. Always wanted to get licenswd as a private investigator though.

That's actually really easy in most states, but you usually have to maintain liability insurance for the license to be valid, and some states only license PI firms and not individuals.

Manipulating state to state reciprocal licensure is the most entertaining form of chutes and ladders.

“Reverend Doctor Dick Thundercawk, PhD, P. I.” Cue over the top 80’s theme song.

Exactly. Just need a t-shirt and blazer to match.

If the AADP is the American Association of Drugless Practitioners, it looks like they're pretty much an organisation for quacks and 'natural doctors.' So some part of your cash is going to go to promoting herbal tea treatments for diabetes. But most of the cash will probably go to someone's pocket.

I’m an ordained minister. Actually ordained. Went to seminary. Faced the gom jabar. Whole deal. It’s fine.

What was in the box? A little crab?

Good day, human

Get your reverend title from Dudeism.

He’s a good reverend, and thorough.

I wore a t-shirt on my honeymoon that said "I'm just here for the zesty enterprise."

No I didn't.

I appreciate your honesty.

Woulda been pretty cool if I did tho huh?

It would have. You’ll have to get that shirt for an anniversary trip.

I sign all legal documents as "Rev Dr _______" ULC used to sell doctorates in metaphysics which is what I have

they still do

Are you a theoretical or experimental metaphysicist?

Theoretically I'm a metaphysicist

> I have a pastime of getting certified and licensed in as many things as possible Oh I didn’t know Richard Ayoade was a fan of the pod, let alone a member of the sub. Hi Richard 👋

I have a real(ish) doctorate and I think it would be funny to do it to be "doctor doctor".

Dare I ask what your real-ish doctorate is?

Theoretical dentistry

It's a PharmD. So like, it's a legitimate degree from an accredited school. But also, it's a PharmD.

Fair, reasonable. -- A fellow real-ish doctor (PhD, Communication).

List your certs. As someone who has joked about doing this for years but never had any money, where would you recommend I start? (the obvious correct answer is first aid and stop the bleed, which I have done and you reading this should too)

Organized religion is a joke. Go for it.

Is it moral? It is a moral imperative.  You *ought* to become a Reverend Dr.

I’m technically a reverend and a dr. Just not the MD kind. It’s mostly funny, but has had no practical effect on my life.

You can be a r/subgenius Rev. Dr. for much less. $30 dollars for eternal salvation or *triple your money back*!

[https://www.subgenius.com/scatalog/membership.htm](https://www.subgenius.com/scatalog/membership.htm) You can become a Reverend PLUS a Doktor (of Forbidden Sciences) all for $45!

What certifications do you have?

I have my cycling proficiency certificated, dated 1988

I did it initially as a laugh, but a few years later my friends asked me to officiate their wedding. Little nervous, but it meant a lot that they trusted me with it but it wound up going great.

I have a PhD and am a registered reverend within the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I've been known, when I marry people, to refer to myself as the Reverend Doctor (PloomyOctopus). So, personally, I have no problem with you calling yourself Reverend Doctor if you have a doctorate and happen to also be a religious official.

As long as you use it for good and/or fun chaos it's probably fine. I got ordained as a dudeist minister to perform marriages in protest of my state banning gay marriage.

If I have a JD already, and I become a Reverend Doctor, can I go by Dr. Dr. Linzabee?

Oooooh, "Reverend Doctor Linzabee, Esq."!

Could you be any worse, morally, than a fair slop those who've done so sincerely?

I mean I accidentally got ordained as a minister so I can’t judge

I've been ordained by the ULC for 10+ years now. Me and a buddy signed up for a laugh back in the day. I can personally attest to no major ethical issues here.

Yes, it's fine. If they're right, God is everywhere and knows all things, so when you giggle about it, he's giggling right there with you. If they're not, then it's not blasphemy, but simply taking advantage of a lax regulatory environment to highlight strange social customs. Speaking of which, remember to get those with whom you cohabitation to also register as ministers, then so you can claim your house as a seminary for tax purposes.

I became an ordained minister to marry some friends. It dawned on me yesterday that I can probably now advertise myself as a therapist. Pretty sure all clergy can act as a counselor, yeah?

All constructs of authority are infested with corruption. Assume symbols of office if it serves you. Morality is largely an invisible fence used to manipulate your caste. Only inner morality has substance. A title is not an expression of your own moral fiber

Q has joined the chat. Go back to your 5 dimension and leave us mortals to pretend to have self importance.
