Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.

Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]

In every class I took in college, 5-10 minutes to the end, I'd ruffle some papers and zip the zipper on my back pack to end class early because "student close up noises" are contagious. (lemmy.world)

Without fail the class would end a few minutes early. As soon as I started making the sounds it was like dominoes. Ten minutes left in the lecture but everyone has all their stuff put away and are putting their coats on. I think of this often. May this knowledge set you free a few minutes early.

In the UK we had to be told explicitly not to move before or after the bell rang, until the teacher said we were allowed to (which usually wasn't long after to be fair). Wed all been conditioned by American movies were they just get up immediately to leave, lol
