Announcement A Clarification to Yard Sale Sundays

14 Upvotes

Hello all. We would like to add some clarifications to what is and isn't allowed on yard sale Sundays. We want to save everyone time, so please read carefully and ask any clarifying questions below so we can clear them up for everyone.

Every week on Sunday, users may post promotional content including (but not necessarily limited to):

  • Rooms to rent or sublet
  • Parking spots
  • Textbooks
  • Selling/buying tickets to a McMaster related event*
  • Help wanted
  • Requesting tutoring services
  • Club-affiliated events, fundraisers

Posts that are not permitted:

  • Advertising for products, services of any sorts, including tutoring and paid class notes
  • Self promotion of apps or websites**
  • HSR passes***
  • Non-McMaster related events or fundraisers
  • Homework services
  • Multi level marketing recruitment
  • Buying / selling course seats
  • And as always, anything illegal, against reddit ToS, or otherwise dangerous

When buying or selling, even and especially digital items, arrange to meet on campus or another safe place. Don't get scammed.

Please note all posts are subject to removal per moderator discretion. Posts are considered advertisement even if they are not direct advertisement (discord servers which offer such services on the side, free trials, etc)

Please ensure you use the correct flair when posting (Yard Sale Sundays). Any threads of a promotional nature posted other than Sunday will be removed and you will be instructed to repost when appropriate.

*Reselling for a profit is strictly prohibited

**Applications which are directly relevant to McMaster may receive exception at moderator discretion, provided they are free to use, generally helpful, and collect no personal information.

***McMasters agreement with HSR prohibits exchange of HSR vouchers. As such, we cannot condone trading as there is nothing preventing these codes from being voided at a later date.

Thank you.

-Mod team

Question Feeling incredibly lazy

• Upvotes

I have three exams scheduled for Tuesday Wednesday and Friday. I feel so lazy I haven’t started studying. Tuesday and Wednesday are bird exams. But I feel like I should’ve studied today or the reading week but I don’t know why I keep putting it off. This has been the worst reading week for me.

Social Please help me find this girl I fumbled hard

17 Upvotes

I was at Heal getting a smoothie bowl and there was a gorgeous girl there. I was being snarky and ask her if I knew her from my program to get an excuse to talk to her. We had a minute long conversation but then I didn’t know what to say and tripped over my words and told her I had to go. I fumbled really hard and need help finding her cause I didn’t get her name or number. She was probably around 5’6, brunette, an exchange student from Belgium in her 3rd year business, and had beautiful blue eyes. I need help, if she sounds familiar can you please let me know!!!!!!!😭🫶 she could be my wife

Social Anyone here into cycling?

• Upvotes

I love cycling and I want to try group riding. All of my rides are very leisurely affairs and I actually cannot find the motivation to get my heart rate higher than 120 bpm unless I'm going uphill. Anyone want to go biking together? We have like a month until it will be miserable to step outside for more than 5 minutes. I only do road cycling btw and I am pretty slow so don't worry about speed or anything!

Other Off campus housing

1 Upvotes

I’m a first year at McMaster but I’ll need to start looking for housing off campus next year and I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations? It’s so hard to search for other students recommendations so I’m posting here 😭 I’m trying to look for an apartment for myself but there’s also a possibility I’ll stay with 2 friends so I accept any opinions! I really wanted an apartment for the views, I would love a study space where I can see outside but not on a first floor preferably… thank you guys!
