I am finding myself coming onto the coffee room more often than I like, usually because I want updates on threads. What should I do? I feel like this is becoming an addiction!!!!!!
If you think I should stop coming on, say STOP!!! ✋Listen to poppa>>>>>>>>>>>>
You must learn patience, your generation expects instant gratification and you’ll not find it here.
Many members visit the CR daily, but we have lives and can’t answer on demand. We are not following on our smartphones and running to answer every ding. We have professional and business lives we live.I am not picking on you, BUT
Motzei Shabbos you posted a new thread addressing a question to me at 11:06 PM
You bumped the thread at 7:52 AM Sunday morning when I had not answered you.
Last night, Mrs. CTL and I were out visiting friends after Shabbos and I wouldn’t be on the CR at that time.
At 7:52 this morning I was still at minyan, it starts later on Sundays OOT.I came home saw your post and crafted an answer.
Learn patience
Read the CR once a day when you have time, do not let it become a diversion from study, work, familyLecture is over…daddy loves you
Don’t let it become an addiction. I myself was having trouble in this field. I went totally off the CR for 3 weeks just to make myself get off it.
The Poppa (not PBA, but the Zeidy of the CR) CTL is absolutely right.STOP!!!
And btw thanks alot. You’ve just inspired me to get off and do something more productive for the next hour.
“You must learn patience, your generation expects instant gratification and you’ll not find it here.”
Your generation is weak and forgetful and cannot figure out how to use basic technology.
I don’t actually mean what I just said, but how do you like it when the shoe is on the other foot? Do people have nothing better to do than spread conspiracy theories about how young people all think as one collective brain?
Yes
Take it from an addict
” think that they were perfect “youngstas” themselves”
I think you are misunderstanding their point. Most comments like that aren’t people saying that they themselves were perfect, they are pointing out that 40 years ago (or 50, 60…) young people as a whole would never speak like that (act like that etc) toward older people. Whether we like it or not, times have changed and many things regarding morals and values have not gotten better. When teenagers make snide comments to an adult, it is hard to not be taken aback because it is not something that had been acceptable or present as a general occurrence just decades ago.@Geordie613 Thank you
@NevilleChaimBerlin There have been many scholarly studies about today’s youth and desire for instant gratification. I make no judgment when I point this out to Daddysgirl. My generation, baby boomers, grew up when news came in a daily newpaper or hourly newscast on the radio. Nightly network news on TV was only 15 minutes and stations signed off overnight.
As for technology, I learned computer programming back when computers used punchcards and have kept up.My advice to Daddysgirl was fatherly and said with love, she took it the right way and B”H will learn from it. Patience is acquired through the aging process and life experience.
Daddysgirl, once a CR poster, always a CR poster.
” she took it the right way and B”H will learn from it”
…or maybe not
but you seem to be missing a few key points about respect and how to speak to people….so ya
It’s a natural outcome of an anonymous online forum- natural barriers are removed, so a teenager can be talking to a respected Zeidy like a peer, when normally that would not be happening in real life.
By the way, Daddysgirl, does this mean the welcome party on the other thread is over?
WTP – that’s brings up two points,
1. natural outcome sounds like something wholesome, are you saying it is inevitable and okay?2. I think by 5th grade peers don’t speak that way to each other either.
you answered back twice without knowing what you were responding to?
Here, I’ll lay it out – –
CT said you were taking his advice and learning from it and your response to him was:
“Yea, whatever”I commented on that not being an appropriate way to respond to him, and that it didn’t seem to support CT’s claim that you were accepting his advice.
Your response to me was to “sha”
so I said you seemed to be missing a few key points about respectyour response was:
“Ooooh I’m so burned….. NOTTTT!!!! ”Hopefully you can figure it out from there…..
yea, whatever
um, yea like which part was the screaming?
Stop
STOP
Here’s my vote.
STOP.
You’re welcome.Mine too in other posts and the the new are not in. Order too like one post I posted around 3:30 it was not put on till 4:30 but the same convo I posted again at 3:30 and the second one was posted right away
Also ppl who post after u u can read their posts while it’s isint approved yet
Stop!
No, “yeah whatever” is 100% the correct response.
Some older people think it’s just open season to spread all kinds of false garbage about younger generations and the second we dispute it we’re “disrespecting our elders.” They’re only proving the point. They can dish it out all day long, but they can’t take the heat. The lesson is, don’t be that way when you’re older. What’s changed is that we have internet anonymity now. What people thought 40 years ago, they can now say behind a CR username. Which brings us back to the OP, I guess.
CT, I’m not talking about you anymore, by the way. Your comment was not that big of a deal.
And I thought u wanted the magic hat lol 🎩
STOP!!
