Things You Just Don't Care About

lol

celebrities performing "gender-swapped" versions of roles while dressed their boring old regular clothes.

pretty much any music video starring celebrities that are not musicians

ultimately i just don't care about celebrities. i don't find them interesting in and of themselves. like at all.

glenn frey!!!!

you're not alone, pal

i used to be v dismissive of ppl who didn't follow politics ("don't they want to know about the things that impact them?") but then i had a friend who is one of the brightest ppl i know and a v impressive behavioral psychologist who just found all politics boring and if anything i felt like she exerted a greater influence over elements of her life than i ever had so now i feel like politics are probably just a game show and i think the same about ppl who ignore it as i do about ppl who don't watch game of thrones which is that they're probably saving their time.

politics are bad, but also important. thanks for listening to my ted talk

a lot of the following of politics through the media feels like following sports through the media. youre getting a partial and generally not really very in-depth view of the public relations activities of individuals and organizations involved in these spheres conveyed through well-worn clichés and stock-phrases and ultimately quite unconnected to the actual meat-and-potatoes reality of these areas of activity and you think some of these folks are good guys and others bad guys, often without too much basis

especially strange to me is people who are obsessive followers of politics whose only political activity is voting.

I wish to shit that I didn't follow politics. I only devote a small percent of my day to thinking about it/checking the news/etc, but I 'm sure it continues to affect me negatively even when I'm not consciously thinking about it.

good thread do u think you should follow politics do you think following politics is good for you

y but make sure it's a poll thread that I can not bother voting in

politics only doesn't affect you if you're in a subset of americans living a safe middle class lifestyle, e.g. my little brother w/ a chronic disease only was able to get insurance because 'politics' so yeah it does matter to follow it more than game of thrones for a lot of people. finding politics boring is a luxury.

'things I just don't care about' privilege

my favourite capybara was executed due to politics so i hate and avoid politics

paradoxically politicians, the political press, and the main consumers of political journalism are in the main living a safe middle class lifestyle

i'm pretty sure that politics effects the middle class too. and that all kinds of people don't care about politics. not just the luxurious middle class.

a certain subset of the middle class probably the only people who have the time and money to care about anything anymore. the rich are too busy counting their money and the poor to busy being poor.

in America all the successful politicians are stinkin' rich, jim

this is sort of aggrandized since implicit in the original is that the safe middle class psychologist is not interested in politics, because not implicated by politics

so to be interested or not interested is sort of arbitrary, non-existential decision, parlour game like tv shit vs newspaper (according to mordy)

the person whose life depends on political decisions that they cannot help but notice, is not really 'interested in politics' in that sense either

or as the pundit Paul Simon wrote "Any way you look at it you lose"

i do thank mitt romney for the not terrible heathcare i enjoy...cheers to the rich dude!

Don't care about the hazards of drinking this coffee that's been sitting in the carafe for 24 hours.

does coffee go bad?

We're supposed to be wary of liquids sitting around at room temperature I guess

I follow politics plenty (although focus on local), I just don't care about democratic primaries. I don't care who wins. I'll select either over any republican candidate so I'm not going to care that much until then.

there are so many things i don't care about i wouldn't know where to begin.

^^ Pet Shop Boys title

jewelry! that's just off the top of my head. i only think about it when i see an ad for a jewelry store. i never notice when people are wearing it. or what they are wearing. sometimes i'll see nice pictures of vintage/art deco fancy jewelry and admire them, i guess. in an art/craft way. i just don't care about it.

but that's just the tip of the iceberg...

does coffee go bad?

it does contain oils that can go rancid

more timely though (oh, watches too. don't care. again, old vintage stuff that looks cool, fine, but otherwise...) phones! you know, iphones and the like. have zero interest. maria just got some new insanely expensive thing...no interest. my kids have those things that are like phones but are not phones. ipods or whatever. i kinda want to throw them away when they aren't looking. never want to own a cell phone. have no interest in your apps.

am i the only ilxor without a cell phone?

because i know a lot of you people are complete freaks about things like that....

I'm not much into electronic gadgets, but I do have a cell phone. I was a relatively late adopter in my circle.

TIJDCA: video games

yeah, i was just looking up home phone plans on at&t. 35$ vs 75$!

i've never had one, scott

the sound quality on a land line is worth it

i never go anywhere though. so, that's one reason i don't have one. i'm either home or at work or with maria. who, as it has been stated, has a fancy new phone.

morbz, i knew i could count on you!
