so now we’re just openly talking about illicit drug use on the ao.

22

That doesn’t seem in keeping with the “professional” image the new AO wants to convey.

I didn’t realize anyone was talking about anything on the ao anymore. :woman_shrugging:

I just looked. There seems to be a post asking whether some CAS result was released, one lonely post asking a question about syllabus material, and a handful of threads with people organizing study groups that will be communicating someplace else. (mostly google groups.)

That’s pretty much it for this week. Another couple of threads were active last week, but I didn’t check them. (And “active” typically means one person posted.)
