TRWTF is that you're at a restaurant with your wife, but you haven't deflowered her yet. Twisted priorities.

I really love the direction this thread has taken. It went from people (rightly) mocking me for blaming Windows for something that wasn't it's fault, straight into a (semi) civilized discussion of various genres of classical (et. al.) music.
This forum is the best, you are all the best, and I can't pick the best of the best because you're ALL the best.
You're welcome.
TRWTF is that anyone thinks "It's a Small, Small World" is classical music.

And then you grow up, and find that money is just a means to express some subjective idea of value.
Too bad not everyone grows up. Hell, by that criterion, most people don't. Including many sitting Congressmen.

and medical/healthcare
I concur with that part. Without giving away proprietary details, I'll say that I worked in the medical device industry for several years, which due to liability and FDA approval concerns has a weird combination of profit-driven get-it-done-now mentality and bordering-on-OCD preoccupation with ridiculous details. Now I'm in a position where I work with some different electronic medical records, with varying degrees of frustration but with abundant WTFs in all.

That's flash blindness. It's caused by bleaching of the pigment in the photoreceptor cells in your retina. It'll get better with time, depending on how high you've set your monitor's brightness.
Another actual true story: Iron Eyes Cody, the "Cherokee" actor famous for playing the "crying Indian" in the "Keep America Beautiful" ad campaign, and for playing Chief St Cloud in Ernest Goes to Camp, was born Espera de Corti. Both his parents were born in. . . Sicily. He kept insisting he was Native American until he died, even though his actual ancestry had been publicized several years before.

I'm pretty sure more states than that allow psychologists to prescribe psychiatric drugs. Also, some states permit counselors or social workers to prescribe a limited range of drugs. And generally I think someone can by a psychologist with only a bachelor's.
As of last year it was still just NM and LA. There was pending legislation in a couple of other states as recently as a year ago (Oregon, Hawaii, New Jersey, maybe a couple others?) that would allow psychologists to prescribe, but I haven't kept track lately.
And yeah, I suppose you can be a "psychologist" with a bachelor's, although different states have different rules on licensing to practice therapy. Where I am, it has to be at least a master's to get a "licensed psychologist" postnomial.
As far as other prescribers, most states allow prescribing by nurse practitioners and physician assistants, but I'm not aware of any jurisdictions that allow social workers to prescribe. I suppose it's possible, but I haven't heard of it. And personally, I wouldn't be in favor.

Psychiatrists can prescribe drugs... that's the only difference, right?
In a couple of states in the US (New Mexico and Louisiana, I believe), psychologists can prescribe, too, thus removing any effective difference, other than the tremendous difference in training.
(A psychiatrist is a physician, and a psychologist has a graduate degree in psychology.)

Love it. This is why Sam Losco is my all-time favorite TV "doctor" (vet). He doesn't let any stupid "licensing rules" stand in his way.
Most people haven't the foggiest idea about the difference between a psychiatrist and a psychologist. Complicating this is the fact that, in many jurisdictions, you need therapy training, but not necessarily a degree in psychology, to do psychotherapy.
