Things You Just Don't Care About

but, again, i am not usually waiting in a line. yesterday was the first time i left town since new years eve. i went to amherst to buy books and records. then i came home.

my impulse buy yesterday. the intersystems vinyl boxed set. so much cooler than a phone.

smartphones have extinguished cruising in gay bars

but really i went to get the ferrante books. which are lovely objects to hold. i imagine people feel the same about their phone.

there must be pretty cool cruising apps.

Out of curiosity, do your wives have to make/receive all family/logistical phone calls?

What do you non-cell phone people do when you have to wait in lines for an extended amount of time? Read books or something??

i think about stuff? what else did people do when they had to wait in lines?

sneaker culture

that's fine because most sneakers are spectacularly ugly

They all just look like this:

"Out of curiosity, do your wives have to make/receive all family/logistical phone calls?"

we have a landline at home. and i have one at the store.

That makes sense. It's a lot of work always being the point person. My mom made all arrangements when I was a kid (without mobile phones) and I think she hated it. That's why I asked. Carry on, dgaf thread!

yeah, even though i still have my phone, when waiting in line i just stare into empty space and think or i observe things around me probably too intently. i'm sure some think it's a little strange, but it's alright, they are too

wait, so serious question. what's this i read about marketers phoning landlines nonstop in the land of the free? does this really happen?

Also have no mobile/cell, just a landline

And yes, i always have a book for when waiting around

does this really happen?

I have a landline. We do get junk robocalls and junk calls from boiler room operations that sound like they are based in Bangalore. I'd hardly call them nonstop, but the same few fraudsters seem to persist in calling us, sometimes 3 or 4 times a week. Since these are clearly illegal and fraudulent rackets, they don't care about breaking any minor laws or regulations.

too many to count really

Eating. I can respect your desire to fancy up this essential biological function so please respect the fact that I find it mostly perfunctory. Unless you really want me to start engaging you in discussions about gourmet sleeping and artisinal micturation.

haha, my thoughts exactly.

I've had that argument before - and usually lose it everytime - but reading blogs about food and what kind of food people who eat food enjoy - I may as well listen to someone prattle on about the best way to design a sandcastle. I'm not against it, but I'm not going to devote so much focus to it either.

Grow up

gravitational waves

you don't care about weird nerd stuff that happens on a scale of ten-thousandths the diameter of a proton? what do you care about?

if ilx is still around when we finally land on mars this thread will be filled with "stfu about mars already, i know right so lame" posts

well yeah this is the thread where we pointlessly list trending topics

it is true that I for one am completely over people having landed on things tho

how "brilliant" Deadpool's marketing is. also anything else that has to do w that movie.

I haven't seen any ads, nor had I even any idea what this was up until a week ago, but this review made it sound so teeth-gratingly obnoxious that I'm just gonna go on not caring about it.

Superhero/comic-book movies

Valentine's Day

Kanye

your fucking weighed out precision grinded pourover steeped with a fucking stopwatch

well i guess you wouldn't steep a pourover, who cares

the written correspondences of a sexually frustrated dead pope, not even remotely interesting

I missed that, which thread was he posting those on?

Coffee. At all.

Confused by people who don't care - at all - about food.

Food is fuel. Coffee is life.

Insanity.

haha, my wife keeps complaining about Deadpool hype, and I'm like "what's a Deadpool?"

Coffee otoh is great, going to make some fancy pourover right now :P

yeah coffee is the best.

The things that are currently making you unhappy, angry and/or stressed out

I guess they would've been less disappointed if they'd just hurtled through the solar system instead of taking a detour through the entire galaxy?

mars, mars is stupid
