Wasn't "don't read the replies" always part of the desk though? Noting I can't do longitudinal comparison cuz well, I never read the replies except to see how stupid people were every know and then

Placement of "kabob" undermines all credibility

I think the last one is ability to understand/learn new things. You need to be able to read to deliberately misinterpret, misquote, take things out of context and constantly motte and bailey

Do you also experience the cognitive dissonance between pride for being able to provide things and shock that they ask for things that are expensive?

I for one welcome this new creative remake of Pleasantville

That and the characters were unbelievably boring in the comics. I spent good money on XMen, Avengers, Cap, Thor, New Mutants, Daredevil, etc. etc. but the only time I ever cared about FF at all was during Secret Wars, and that was mostly to hope they got killed off.

perhaps an ill-considered decision given the quality of the "official" guide. "There are lots of study abroad opportunities, not that I would ever do that." "We have so many great clubs here, but I'm not a part of any of them." "So many social events, but I just stay in my apartment..."

Absolutely a current factor for my 17 year old. Great guide at Vanderbilt, bad at UVa, good at UNC. Guess how he's currently ordering the choices?
