Funny how you read stuff

  1. Read the post from the M.D. about waitperson, think "Is this the bad part?"
  2. Read the "No" ...
  3. Read the title about empathy.
  4. Re-read both the M.D. post and "No", aaah now I got it ๐Ÿ’ก

"Waitperson" is kinda lame too, tho. Call them "waiters" ffs.

When we stopped calling female actors "actresses" we didn't start calling them "actpersons".

YES totally understandable. That's why I did the title like how it is, or people would (understandably) make the awful mistaken conclusion I think Doris is cool or something.
