Things You Just Don't Care About

i like a little pot every now and again but i can't smoke it all the time and be a person. i have absolutely no interest in pot culture other than listening to old stoner rock bands.

there is literally no more omnipresent thing than marijuana except, maybe like, Jingle Bells and Happy Birthday and shit

I can go in the redneckiest bar in Florida or the hippest coffee shop in Williamsburg and hear about weed

I have no idea where you live that you don't just see ganja everywhere. I mean restaurants, the grocery store, taxicabs, the bodega, the pharmacy. Weed.

post here every time you hear a marijuana song playing in the supermarket

Yeah, I don't doubt it's omnipresent for many people, but weed and weed culture is pretty much absent from my life. Wish there was a bit more of it, tbh.

legalize marijuana, outlaw pot culture

go on periscope (or not) and just start watching live streams, it's ridiculous

yeah weed culture is p ubiquitous come on.

The X-Files

is a thing I don't care about, I mean, not a thing full of weed culture. though it could be, I guess.

yeah weed culture is p ubiquitous come on.

iirc you're in vanc, so i guess that's fair

yea trust me it is not ubiquitous in any of the places I've lived

I just don't get that, marcos! it's ubiquitous wherever there's a high school or pizza shop or kids listening to Future, and that's everywhere.

Really? Do people really find weed culture ubiquitous the way that, say, beer-drinking culture or sports-watching culture are ubiquitous?

Without weed culture we wouldn't have black light posters. Which is something I think we should keep in mind.

I'm sure the reason it isn't ubiquitous for me is because I'm a 40-something parent living in semi-suburbs, but sure I could hang at the local head shop and investigate "reefers" if I were so inclined

i find in my milieu that a lot of ppl are smoking weed however it occurs in a secretive / privacy discourse or at the v least an awkward transgressive one

I work at a university with 20,000+ students and I see WAY less weed related stuff on students since it's been legalized and there are actual retail stores in town. Like you're no longer some sort of subversive countercultural rebel or signaling to other like-minded individuals if you wear a shirt covered with pot leaves or the word "dab" anymore, you're just kind of sad, like wearing a Bud Light shirt.

People still smoke obviously - I smell it around town enough in both smoked and un-smoked form - but there doesn't seem to be any thrill of illegality or reason to celebrate it as a separate culture anymore, it just exists as part of life like energy drinks and pizza.

haha yeah I was at an Oregon festival last summer and a bowl was offered around but there were no takers, the guy looked down sadly and said "it's lost its allure"

Lolsad

Whatever some >100 yr old person did to live that long. like sure 110 yr old florence hardy credits a daily dose of hand jobs and falcon blood to her longevity. that's cool and all but I don't want to be alive that much.

Changes to the Starbucks Rewards program.

"medibles"

and celebrity buttholes are everywhere now! they're always eating them and putting their fingers in them every time i turn around. enough of that.

Who will be the next President of FIFA.

guess i don't either, but having tokyo sexwale succeed sepp blatter would have been some Great Real Names

No one's said the Oscars tonight? OK, then: the Oscars.

Shows you how much I don't care about 'em.

The weather.

The government? The weather? You guys would be horrible trying to make small talk at Michael Stipe's place...

Oscars x1000

not having cable television means not caring about a lot of stuff. like the oscars.

although i actually did enjoy watching awards shows when i did have regular t.v. i like the speeches.

i watched this whole thing a couple of weeks ago.

also watched the one with the awesome bonnie franklin number from Applause.

Can't believe some damn hippies hijacked the joint for seven minutes.

(also, I know it was still a thing then, but it's bizarre to hear how/that cigarettes were pitched on tv. Rich Virginia Flavor!)

that Hair medley actually made me a little weepy...what can i say, it has an effect on me.

wishing people who died years ago a happy birthday on facebook when they aren't a family member. like, random celebrities? or even random celebrity birthday wishes for the living. "Pulling out all my Eddie Rabbitt records today..."

wow, i don't think i even knew that eddie rabbitt died so long ago. figured he was in branson or something. 56! too young, eddie.

Can't believe some damn hippies hijacked the joint

the correct term is "bogarted"

and for people who died a long time ago it just seems really silly. "Irving Berlin would have been 150 today...."

and for people who died a long time ago it just seems really silly. "Irving Berlin would have been 150 today...."

I actually like doing those. I usually go with something like "Mozart would have been 400 today, had he lived."

brb gonna listen to "Suspicions"

mozart is like a famous anniversary guy though. there are genuinely famous death dates.

Eh, I don't really mind the dead-person birthday thing. It's the dead-person deathiversary thing that I don't really get, mainly when it's not a round number. I saw a "Charlie Parker died 61 years ago today" post a couple days ago and though, hmmm, maybe save it for his birthday. Or just post "I'm listening to Charlie Parker today." Doesn't have to be because he died an odd number of years ago.

yeah, i don't like those either. death days are sad.

plus, does anyone even remember the day that someone died? do they have a celebdeathapp on their phone?

I always remember when they died more than their birthday.

Like Mel Tormé. He was ... early June of 1999? I remember I was on a roadtrip and it was around the time of the Preakness. Who knows when his birthday was, except maybe Harry Anderson.

June 5, 1999! See, I did remember.

i'm pretty sure i only remember john lennon and princess di. lennon in december because it was john lennon and i remember what month it was for pete's sake. princess di was august which i remember because it was the last time i ever saw my sister alive.

that's about it though.

wait a minute, keith emerson was trolled to death? keith emerson was killed by keith emerson jokes? okay, this i might actually care enough to read about.
