The one where OP asked for advice for her son with pot smoking roommates and gets attacked instead.
@ballerina016 One, it isn’t roommates, it is other students on the floor of the dorm. Second, the OP got helpful advice. The “attacks”, if you want to call it that, were directed at another poster making somewhat outlandish comments, for example claiming pot smokers engage in petty theft.
@doschicos perhaps @Ballerina016 was referring the the post
That response was further down the thread than yours.
^I took that as tounge-in-cheek, not attacking. I actually laughed out loud at that.
Ones where other posters tell posters how they’re supposed interpret posts.
The “I messed up, can I still get in” threads where the mess up is so egregious that it’s hard to say anything.
SO many snowflakes these days!
When someone is creating a CC account there should be a notification in big red letters that anyone can see and read their posting history. I love catching newbies presenting multiple personas and stats scenarios here! And then get blamed by them for invading their privacy. Just caught one today: Freshman in college last May, applying to law school today!!
The university website states a certain deadline but the student heard from some people that the deadline is earlier. Which is correct?
Parents of 10 and 11 year olds international students wanting to know how to get into MIT or any other top college. They plan to take out loans. Child has already decided their field of study.
More amusing than annoying, but the most epic fail was the thread where the mom’s daughter wanted to be a spy, after concluding physical reasons would prevent her from being an astronaut or fighter pilot. Then, she said her daughter would be willing to take a job in a foreign intelligence service. The FBI calls that espionage. The mom even insinuated that her daughter wanted to be a government assassin.
Yow, missed that one. Still reeling over a thread that leaves me questioning some posters’ values. All the perky prior posts can’t make up for how selfish and isolated word choices can make one seem.
@roethlisburger, any hints on how to find that thread? It sounds like an amazing slo-mo train wreck.
It’s a little old, but here’s the spy thread,
MODERATOR’S NOTE: Link deleted.
I have made a thread to place a short piece of advice for new CC users.
“If you could say one thing to a first time CC user, what would it be?”
Let us prevent some of these annoying threads, and keep novice users like myself from doing something completely moronic (even though it is funny at times).
MODERATOR’S NOTE: Link deleted, but easy enough for users to search
That spy thread is a year old! That’s a lifetime around here.
Please tell me that on the spy thread someone replied “I’d tell you, but then I’d have to kill you”.
Does that spy thread strike anyone else as fake?
Ones where folks brag about their high incomes while also bragging in other places about getting $$$$ in need based aid.
Actually, @math3matical, starting a thread and then going to another thread to solicit posts there is… a little annoying.
