What....no....just no.......I know what that sh* does. WHY? Well, that's a rhetorical question. JFC, people.

Re: Kids Today!
Are we taking about def 1 or 2?
I'd never heard of def 1, though I had heard about Hogger Hunt as a frat initiation. In this delightful game the future GOP Congressmen and ministers all go out to a bar and you "win" by bedding the fattest pick up. As you can imagine, this isn't very popular anymore outside of Tucker Carlson's circle, now that everyone else regards women as sentient creatures.
Def 2 was, like I said, a famous legendary, urban or otherwise, frat rite, at least among GDIs.

Of course they do. This is another young male staple that will never die. There's a reference to it in the tavern scene in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, written in 1820.

Never graduate.
I know! It's crazy that a college admissions department is judging a kid by what he did in high school. So unfair.

I guarantee boys are still exactly the same.
This is the voice of the masses unchanged forever. If we had a transcript of little boys arguing in Sumeria in 4019 BC, this would be it.
Except, possibly, "is that Drake?"

Online gaming chat thingies are just aural youtube comments sections brought to life. Not surprised.

Eventually it will be beamed straight into our brains. Along with ads and Dump's tweets.

Re: Kids Today!
when i was a kid a million years ago bullies did tend to use dodgeball as an opportunity to single out and humiliate certain kids. I definitely witnessed bullies trying to throw the ball as hard as they can at certain kids faces, sometimes coordinating the effort so this one poor kid had multiple people targeting them at the same time. Intentionally trying to break glasses too.

Even in the rough and tumble world that is Catholic school, we self-policed and banned headhunting in dodgeball. A head shot didn't count, and you were ripped mercilessly if you headhunted.

Re: Kids Today!
That's pretty amazing to me. It was definitely not the case in my public school where the "different" who weren't smart enough to hide it from the derps were hunted down and hurt / humiliated. Since the gym coach was typically from the same mental strata as the bullies it was either ignored or laughed at.
Dummies and psychos vs smarties and weirdos starts early. It only gets ratified by voter registration -- it begins the moment the dummies realize they are in over their heads, and lash out. Say, first day of kindergarten.

It was a weird dynamic. Obviously there were the alphas/bullies and the "weaklings," but there were still rules of the jungle, so to speak. A line you didn't cross, I suppose.

Re: Kids Today!
The only line the animals never crossed in my school was: thou shalt not hit a girl.
Otherwise, the strong-and-stupid ruled and everyone else either steered clear or sucked up. A perfect feeder system for the GOP or the police force.

Re: Kids Today!
Well, I mean, ideally the rule should be thou shalt not hit anybody.
But for 33% of the population that would remove their entire vocabulary.

Because we're men, sometimes we just have to settle our differences with a good ol' fashioned donnybrook.
We're not smart in that way of things.

I think my favorite memory from high school was in our gym class one day. The high school football coach was also the gym teacher (obviously) and he loved nothing better than playing flag football. He always insisted he get to be the quarterback for both teams.
One of my classmates named Ron, with the appropriate nickname of "meathead" came around the offensive tackle on one play, swung his hand "to grab the flag" and caught the coach square in the skittles. He folded up like a pup tent in the wind. As Bowie said, "we can be heroes, just for one day."
