Things You Just Don't Care About

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.

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

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?

Except fuck food. Quit talking about food too.

coffee is for closers

celebrity anything. grammys, beyonce, kanye, etc. all of it. and any "controversy" these things fire up. i just don't get why people fall for this stuff over and over again. and why people react when rich people want them too. probably best to not get riled up in february. i get these REALLY detailed facebook posts about everything wrong with western culture via the grammys and i'm like jesus christmas can't you just make fun of people's clothes like people did in olden times. that show was invented to be over the top and dumb.

maybe i should have just said: outrage on the internet. that covers all the bases.

cosign

I don't get outraged about the music celebrities themselves - what drives me nuts is reading articles about Kanye, Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar, etc., etc., by writers I know and thinking, "I know you! We've met, we've had conversations! You're an intelligent person! How can you write this bullshit and not want to jump under a passing train?"

didn't the occupy movement teach us anything?

People sure do get het up about Kanye.

for some reason i don't mind when greg tate does it on facebook. making a narrative out of events is what people do, right?

"Note to self: After putting big wide eyes on Team Bey at The Superbowl, Kanye West's appearances on SNL and Madison Squaree Garden and Kendrick Lamar at the Grammies its clear our most ambition pop musicians are responding to this cycle of tribal uprising and mass mobilized resistance with well orchestrated, epic and indelible invocations of chaos, rebeliousnuss, hoodoo ritual and the carnivalesque. That this re-engagement with operatic spectacle and big-tent showmanship as a forum for musician's ideas about cultural politics and the zeitgeist is occurring as we mark the passing of radical avant-pop avatars and staging visionaries David Bowie and Maurice White serves up a thrilling timely,public and apropo seizing of the baton."

...

michael jackson really did ruin everything, didn't he? operatic spectacle, big-tent showmanship, cultural politics, the zeitgeist, avant-pop avatars, hoodoo ritual. pretty sure he destroyed it all.

he at least ruined albums not called thriller or off the wall

innovation

i think he ruined spectacle. used to be all p.t. barnum busby berkeley razamataz hokum let's put on a show and you could STILL make pointed yet veiled statements about FDR's new deal farm programs but then it was all oh my god is he/she insane wtf? i mean i kinda figure all these people are insane. that's a given.

i am all for beyonce starting a revolution though...i mean who isn't?

what are you even talking about

lol

i'd need to see beyonce's platform before supporting anything

her platform supports everything

there's no sagging in Beyoncé's platform

i just didn't feel like doing ebay today.

How in the fuck do you even find more than idk these architects to 'think about'

*Three

things I take solace in other ppl not caring about

I used to listen to a lot of rap music in the 90s, but I don't really get rappers like Kanye. Like, to me talking about your woes and worries as a world-famous millionaire is the most boring song subject ever! I don't really care about what some rich celebrity thinks about another rich celebrity, who the fuck can relate to that? (And yeah, I know beef tracks and such have existed since way back, but they used to be a smaller thing, like maybe you had one beef song per album, but it wasn't all about you as a celebrity.) I'm a white Northern European pacifist, but I think even gangsta rap was more relatable to me than this sort of stuff, there were still a lot of lyrics about everyday life and everyday problems instead of millionaire problems.
