My friend has played osu during class. Now, he lost all his computer privileges and the principal took away his phone and tablet and won't give it back until the end of the year. Don't let him be you.

So your friend played so much that his score badly drops or just that he was playing game (osu!) in his class?

Mahogany I think that's just a situational thing, you were just unlucky enough to be placed in classes that have disturbances. At my school, at least half the people in my classes play games while class is going on but we rock all As and we actively participate in class. Your hate against idiots who purposely don't want to learn and screw around in class is warranted but if OP wants to pass time and he says no one else enjoys that class either and no one has anything better to do, I'm pretty sure OP can experiment. Btw OP, it's been a while since you've figured out how to play osu! at school, have you actually done anything?

He doesn't have a right to say whether nobody else is enjoying the class, and just because there's already a problem doesn't mean contributing to it is okay

idk, lets see how it goes.

Let's not

Put it in a hard drive and you're good to go. It's kinda laggy though, based from experience.

Do what you want if you're really sure that your grades are fine and that the subject is boring as hell, but please, if you find out that your classmates are being bothered or distracted by you playing, stop immediately.

Well yes Rilene, he got caught the minute he started. He can't just wear headphones, he would've got caught by the teache!r anyways. 😅😕😑 And yes, his average is 57.6! (╯з╰)

Well just downloaded osu on flashdrive. time to play some osu in school. Just gonna let the haters keep hatin. Maybe I'll upload a liveplay of osu at school

Americans

They're not hating. They're just explaining that even though class is boring, you're going to need all the education you can get for when you really do need it. Plus, have the teachers caught with headphones on yet??

@Mahogany, there is nothing wrong with americans. Just some I guess.

Indeed.

Well Mahogany's hate towards Americans seems to be only focused towards people who don't like education, which I agree with in that aspect, looking at USA stats and a documentary titled "Waiting for Superman"

but give certain people a break... it's not like he's destroying his future with a few osu plays

Kitsunex wrote:

It's barely even about him; Moreso about the people he's disturbing, the ones who might actually want to learn, and making their lives more difficult

The main rule of life is he's free to do whatever the fuck he wants to, as long as it doesn't hurt other people. This hurts his classmates, so dick move. If you don't want to learn in a class, good for you, feel free to do whatever you want in your own life, but don't make it more difficult for those who do want to learn.

No one's getting distracted by a few clicks unless he tells everyone "hey look at me! I'm an osu! champion", people type away and do stuff in my classes and everyone can pay attention. People talk in my class and everyone still learns, so a few clicks doesn't hurt anything. Also if the teacher isn't teaching anything and OP feels like he can do well in that class even when he's not paying attention, his classmates as well could possibly pull off the same thing as he can, I don't think his classmates are all retarded. I do random finger tapping all the time in class on my laptop and no one gets bugged or bugs me.

I'm actually going to take Kitsu's side here, at least partially. If OP wants to be a retard, so be it, but that doesn't necessarily mean that he's going to hurt other people with it - those who want him to stop doing it because it bothers them WILL stop it, and those who want to be retarded as well will go with the flow.

I don't see at all how he could have any negative impact on other students, unless he's some kind of school-wide bully who no one can talk shit to, which I sincerely doubt as he's here.

Kitsunex wrote:

Playing osu is more than "a few clicks" it's highly repetitive rhythmic clicking at a very fast speed for extended periods of time. The noise you'll make typing is far different and less noticeable compared to the noise you'll make when playing osu, because of how the brain responds to rhythms and patterns in relation to hearing and attention.

Kitsunex wrote:

It's a massive detriment to the learning ability of the class. That's like saying you can procrastinate and do a thing in 40 minutes instead of 5, and saying it's "fine" because the thing still got done, ignoring the fact it took you 8 times the amount of time it would have were you fully focused and committed to the task.

Aurani wrote:

Aurani, I like you, dude, but no. You seem like the sort of person to take no shit, which would explain why you'd have this viewpoint, but I can attest that there are many introverted people who would be too shy to stand up for themselves in such a situation, and would NOT do anything to stop it, because they'd fear the social interaction and possible repercussions. The last time I asked someone to cut out annoying and distracting shit in class, I got laughed at by literally everyone. Hence, I'd find it difficult to ask people to stop anything, and I know this to be true for other introverted people as well.

It's also part of the bystander effect and all that psychological stuff.

But that's their problem, isn't it? Why should you go out of your way to make things better for others, if they don't deserve it? Also, I'm not saying that the person should say anything - they could just bump really really loudly into that dude's desk or somehow attract the teacher's attention there, and voila, you have yourself a reported retard. :p

Mahogany wrote:

Well maybe those guys were circlejerking but if OP is doing enough stuff to piss off 1 dude, then I'm pretty sure the whole class is pissed off. Also if he makes a lot of repetitive noise then the teacher obviously can hear it too, it's not like teachers are deaf.


I'm still standing by my point that OP's classmates are smart. With the ability to run a GPA of 4.6, either he's in an advanced class (which only smart people would take) or he could be in a low level class (which the people in that class usually don't want to do anything with the subject). The probable percentage of people in OP's class that truly want to learn during class would have to be less than 30%. If smart people get bugged by it, they'll tell OP to stop immediately. If the other class gets bugged by it, they probably wouldn't care anyways.

Although we're just going in circles until OP gives us some insight on what is or has happened so far for his osu!classroom career

Aurani wrote:

At the same time, why go out of your way to make things worse for others? There are many other ways to entertain or otherwise occupy yourself in that time that are also quiet and won't distract anyone else.

Unfortunately no guarantee the teacher will even do anything, I find. ):

They actually won't, most likely, if they're introverted and shy and afraid of social situations.
And analysis of these figures of likelyhood of wanting to learn is meaningless because if OP is disrupting a single person then he's already going over what's acceptable.

Not everyone is you, I'd be baffled if OP's entire class is shy and introverted. People who aren't shy would tell OP to shut up after like 20 seconds of tapping so that solves that.

Mahogany wrote:

It's just that the smartness is concentrated in certain places, and it doesn't mean you can go around yelling "'muricans are dum".

While I could go on and on about why you aren't correct, I'll just do the single most rational thing and say that all of these points go to moot as doing ANYTHING during class that does not count towards learning about the subject at hand is prohibited, so no matter if he's disturbing or not, he's doing something that's inherently wrong.

Now, I personally don't give a shit if he has some imaginary score in a book that signifies that he's studying hard; what I DO give a shit about is the fact that he has absolutely no will to advance his KNOWLEDGE, not grades. He could bring a book (e-book, whatever, you get to point) instead and learn something new, no? He could do SO much more to know more about life in general than clicking on bloody circles when it's not time to do so.
What, you don't have enough free time in your first world country that you have to take time out of your practical part of the day to have even MORE free time?

That's what I have a problem with. I don't care if he has the world's greatest grades - I'm saying that humanity is going downwards, as more and more people are like him, so it's not specifically his problem alone - more and more people are doing everything BUT work. I'm going to leave this world knowing that utter morons are going to run it. That's what my problem is in this whole mess.

Of course not. But I'd also be baffled if the entire class was loud and extroverted.

Yeah but the issue lies with the people who are shy.

Kitsunex wrote:

OP wants to spend time playing a weaboo circle clicking game instead of being educated. I think it was reasonable context to make that statement.

Also thanks Aurani for articulating stuff in a way my feeble mind could never put into words

I agree with most of Aurani's post however the main point I was making was, OP has the right to relax whenever he wants. I'm sure OP makes up for that time later in the day. It's not like 30 minutes or so is that bad... but "a little adds up to a lot"

Personally, during class, I can't possibly do anything in class related to learning new stuff because class moves very quickly and the few minutes I get after finishing a class task don't allow my brain to fully focus on new learning material. Trying to learn when I'm not fully focused proves to be completely useless as I'll only remember less than half of what I've read, and one chapter later, we're moving on in class. This is my reasoning behind my stance of playing games in class, and still, don't think I'm always playing games either, I'm also browsing places that feature new innovative technologies or places like stackoverflow learning new things whenever I get intrigued by a random though. What makes me have random thoughts? when my brain is relaxing and playing games.

I don't advocate wasting time at all in the sense of wasting *all* your time, I'm just saying both of you are acting like his one personal decision is the end of the earth.

Aurani wrote:

Well... at the moment there are plenty of morons, but all we need is another technological revolution such as the one that happened when NASA planted someone on the moon.

Nay, I can't agree with the statement that I'm acting like it's the end of the world just because of him - I'm not focusing on him. He's only one guy, but he isn't the only one, far from it. My entire post is based around that. I'll just use your "a little adds up to a lot" for this part as well - he alone might be a mongrel, but many mongrels make up a world full of idiocy; you can't argue with that fact.

*sigh* I can't disagree with that

but chill, we're not at war with each other

Did I give off an aura of tension or hostility between us? If that's the case, then I apologise. I probably come off as far too hot tempered due to the way I articulate things, but I assure you I'm perfectly calm. :p

First thing I wanted to say is that no one is getting distracted because no one is doing any work or anything productive in the First place. After 3 days no one has complained or given a single shit. Also if someone does complain I can just whip out my cherry mx silents. Extremely rude to assume I'm American because I'm not. Just because I live in the US does not make me an American . I would have expected a more modest reply but I guess all I got was salt

OP doesn't have a right to relax in a manner that would disrupt other people, though. If OP were, to, say, read a completely unrelated book during the class, that's cool. He's not going to be making any noise, or any movements, or anything really interesting to watch, so he's not really disturbing anyone. It's when your slacking starts to actually have a presence in the classroom and affect others that you start to have a problem.

That's an interesting stance and definitely something I could start to understand and sympathise with, but there's a big question; what sort of games are you playing? I can't see any value in playing something like osu!. There's little brain power involved: It's a game of reflexes and rhythm, not one of thinking, but at the same time the gameplay is so intense, it completely occupies your mind and leaves you unable to absorb other information.
In contrast, however, you're browsing sites, which, while it might not be relevant to what you're learning, is:
1) still information, helping you to expand your mind, even if it's not quite on what you're >supposed< to be doing
2) non-disruptive, nobody is going to be distracted by your text on a webpage
3) does not consume so much of your concentration that you're unable to take in what's being taught to you, as well.

And based on what you're saying, I'm going to guess you're playing more cerebral, thinking-based games, which is also good, for the same reasons as listed above.

Kitsunex wrote:

Well, I have my own reasons for this. Mainly because I'm one of those "quiet" people who has to deal with constant talking in class and it's caused me to have a very difficult time. Secondly, I recognize the value of education and it's importance to society, and it irritates me how people are so willing to throw away the only thing separating us from beasts.

Doing nothing productive in school does not equal to useless. Interesting logic though. Wondering where you got that from. As for Mahogany I am going to continue to play in class and "disturb" others. Say what you want.

I can claim that you are an alcoholic because you are Irish right? If you don't have anything nice to say don't say it. We understand that it is distracting to others but it in this case it is not. You should learn to control yourself over the internet because your probably not as open IRL

Dang bro I feel really offended. I wish you had more evidence then the internet to prove yourself.

Doing 1 thing makes you useless these days man what a world

Actually my evidence will present itself in your coming non-future. Make sure to not waste what little you will have on alcohol though.
