    I remember when I worked in a movie theater people would wonder how I knew they were on their phone when I came in to ask them to stop.

    Since COVID students do not give a fuck. They used to hide it, now they get offended when you tell them to put their phone away.

      I’ve heard the same from a university professor.

      I think his wording was pretty close to “their ‘don’t give a shit’ factor is through the roof”

      Honestly, similar with my work too. Covid seemed to amplify the idea for lots of people that ‘they don’t give a shit about you’ so people just stopped killing themselves trying so hard.

        I don’t have the comparison but before covid people were doing all kind of stuff on their laptops in university. I remember a guy who watched star trek during a lecture and said “the lecture is being recorded, I can watch it later”. Then he watched that lecture during a lecture that wasn’t recorded.

        My fiance is a professor and things I’ve heard about the last few years blow my mind. It’s not so much what they are doing exactly, but how shocked and offended they get if she asks them to stop.

          My mom is a professor and the shit she tells me about her students is insane. I overheard a call she was having with a student and basically the student was offended that simply scheduling a call wasnt enough to unfail her paper. Basically "I called you to talk about it so I didn’t fail, right?

          Or the fact that they expect to be able to just turn in things whenever they want irrespective of a deadline…and then get offended when told their paper either won’t be accepted at all or docked for each day late it was.

        Or adults!

        I used to teach massage at a vocational school, and for multiple reasons had a “no phones” policy on the classroom (distraction, exposed body parts, and others.) I could have ignored it during lectures except that the overlap of students on their phone and the ones asking to re-explain information or just lost as to what they’re supposed to be doing was nearly perfect.

        I truly don’t understand the college students who are paying insane tuition to be there to get a degree and they couldn’t care less. I don’t know if their parents are forcing them to go to college or what.

        As a software dev, this has always been a thing in the industry. Very rarely is our attention needed, and we are mostly there to fill seats and answer a handful of questions.

        Sometimes our full attention is needed, but we generally know about those beforehand. For the rest, we continue to test, write code, answer communications, etc.

              I don’t know the phrasing they are using but when I was particularly boner prone I would situate my penis between the waist band of my boxer briefs and my waist/lower stomach and just have my shorts or pants a tad higher. I also typically wore an untucked tee. Little fella was free to do his thing throughout the day and it would remain our little secret.

                Penises are so weird. I’m glad no one can tell my level of arousal unless they are looking at my underwear or under it… Which by that point I probably am okay sharing that information.

                Tangential note - had a fun conversation with my person the other day on how I’m used to the erect penis as “normal” and how it looks funnier when it’s not whereas for him it’s the opposite!

                  It’s not even necessarily arousal either which could make for some awkward moments, especially as a teenager. I started doing the tuck because a couple times in class, completely focused on my work, when the bell rang and I snapped out of my work to get up and leave I realized I had a full on boner so I couldn’t stand up right away. I don’t even like math, especially like that! I’m a lot older now so the random events aren’t as often but they still happen.

                  That is interesting how your experience would be flipped like that.

              Other person was correct.

              The tuck is where you pull your boner up and point it to the sky. You then tuck it between your underwear/pants. It allows you to acquire a full on stiffy without it tenting the front of your pants.

              By the time you get flaccid it untucks itself automatically and flaps back into position without issue.

              About the only thing it requires is properly fitted clothing and usually a T-shirt. But you can get by without a shirt as long as you aren’t going commando. Just gotta make sure your pants or underwear are lower than the other and tuck at 0 degrees in the lower of the two.

              Fwiw we don’t even need to be horny. Boners just happen at all ages, but especially so between 0-25.

      I had t9 on lock back in the day. Write and send a message without having to look at my phone at all. Sure, there was no internet on there, but that tiny Nokia would stay charged for like 5 days and survive a 20 foot drop on cement without a case.

      Fun fact: they would NOT survive being dropped into a gallon of polyurethane floor finish :-(

            Swipe keyboards makes typing without looking trivial. It’s also not that hard to do regularly. Now, throw in some symbols and stuff and it’ll likely get harder. But touch typing on a modern smartphone isn’t hard at all. I typed this whole comment with out looking at the keyboard, and only needed to “edit” sections I changed my mind on.
