So at a game at a university in Brazil, several male _medical students (!)_ decide to celebrate the end by running out on the court and masturbating. All of them have been expelled, presumedly ending their hopes at a career in medicine thanks to their interesting interpretation of good judgement. > **[A Bunch of Medical Students Celebrate a Win by Their School's Volleyball Team...](https://www.barstoolsports.com/blog/3485142/a-bunch-of-medical-students-celebrate-a-win-by-their-schools-volleyball-team-by-storming-the-court-and-holding-a-circle-jerk)** > > There are few things that bring people together like cultural traditions and sports.

In the medical biz I guess there is such a thing as becoming _too_ comfortable about bodily functions & normal secretions. ---

FFS. When did it stop being shameful to be a total wanker ? And to openly watch porn ? When i was a lad, this was the domain of dirty old men in dirty raincoats visiting seedy shops and buying magazines wrapped in brown paper from under the counter. These days kids seem proud of it. 🙄 ---

> [@pjd](#): > > When did it stop being shameful to be a total wanker ? The idea of not only jerking off in front of other guys, but even _admitting_ that you jerk off is so anathema to the boy culture I grew up in that I can’t fathom it. Yes, I know the therm “circle jerk” exists for a reason, but where I grew up you’d be forever “queer” if you even talked about it. ---

The fact circle jerks were evidently a common feature of fraternity hazing ought to give some idea of how it was viewed. ---

> [@pjd](#): > > When did it stop being shameful to be a total wanker ? ⁢ I never actually associated the insult with the activity until now. A wanker is just an jerk, usually a stupid one. > [@pjd](#): > > And to openly watch porn ? This was already fairly common when I was in college. Not so much high school, but admitting to watching porn was not a big deal. **But you still didn’t do it communally**. You might watch a movie with titillating nudity with a group, but not full on porn–and you didn’t do anything while in the group. Nor did you talk about what you might do with porn in private except maybe with some innuendo. However, note that this is in Brazil. I’m sure the culture is very different there. ---

These were future doctors? Good riddance. I have made plenty of dumb choices in my life, especially when young, but nothing remotely that bad. Youth should have some allowance to be dumb (and suitably deal with the consequences and make amends). But some bridges are too far. I would not want someone with such poor judgement to ever be my doctor. ---

> [@snowthx](#): > > IMHO the pandemic made people lose their effing mind - many social norms of the past are now just flagrantly ignored. To the degree that’s true (and I’m not disputing you, just taking the idea at face value) … Right now the people in late undergrad were late high school during the height of COVID. And the high schoolers now were middle schoolers, etc. If the most seriously affected kids were WAG age 3-6 during 2020-2021 we’ll see that cohort emerge as post-college adults in about 2035-2040. Assuming COVID or other pandemic has not returned meanwhile, those folks ( and everybody else) will also have had the last ~15 years of comparative normalcy to “recover” from their early socialization damage. Going to be interesting to watch. ---

This is a pretty good illustration about the general maturity level of men versus women. Could you ever, in a trillion, zillion years, imagine this happening if the genders were reversed. No, you could not. mmm ---

Or the general level to which sex-based “thinking” overrides other sorts of thinking. I’m not quite ready to sweep that difference under the larger rug of “maturity”. ---
