Things You Just Don't Care About

GOING TIL jUNE 19, WHAT AN ABOMINATION

did i say Glastonbury already? specifically a week's coverage of same on 6music.

6music can do what it wants, its BBC4's weekend transformation into Uncut that grinds my gears

oh wrong thread

the bbc4 music thing was good. but they are probably on the 20th time around for some of those documentaries by now.

I get one "documentaries using words of more than one syllable" channel and it sucks when its nothing but The Rock'n'Roll Years and Norwegian versions of The Bill all weekend every weekend

i am all over the Norwegian versions of The Bill (more like Swedish Cracker tbf). am slightly annoyed that there isn't one this week and that it's a 10th showing of Egypt's Lost Cities instead.

actually, BBC4 is all glasto all the time this weekend now that bbc3 is no more, so our points have converged 8)

Swedish crackers, nom.

i hate the word "brexit" so much that i haven't read anything about the whole thing. so, don't care. good luck, europe.

they softened us up w/ "grexit" first

I've been driven a bit mad by my inability to come up with any good brexit puns. Best I have is "The one what brexit, fixit"

Meanwhile I can't stop coming up with other entity-leaving-a-group neologisms; I feel like this should be my job. Yesternight I sat bolt upright in bed and said MISSOURIVIDERCI. My wife is considering her own referendum on brexiting from the marriage more seriously than ever, I fear.

puffin's marriage hanging on the legitimacy of a referendum vote

Cat alone ya

when ppl in a social group start talking about what positions they will have after they've taken over the world / who among them should be president / etc.

even worse version is misanthropic nerds making jokes about being dictator of the world

yeah idk I definitely remember as an early teen friends having that convo and I was like "i'm secretary of partying!!" or "I'd like to be head of the department that gives away cookies"

Fireworks.

they'd be trying to talk you into fireworks launched from drones as a funding loophole

I can't say that I don't care about fireworks because I actively hate them.

more like Pokemon No

thread revives so predictable

everything reduced to fan service

"Plagiarism" in political speeches.

your reasons for why watching the olympics is dumb

relatedly, how little you care about professional sports

seltzer

hate the Olympics but really don't want to be that guy talking about how he hates the Olympics so i will mention it here on this ilx thread and feign interest if anyone mentions the Olympics to me irl

Me too

hating ≠ just not caring about

Well I do both: I simultaneously just don't care about the games themselves, and hate how they get talked about.

How many golds Sir Bradley Wiggins has won, couldn't care less is thee got annihilated in a collision with a big fuck-off artic.

is if

hey, he's a skilled sportsman, he has to pump both legs up and down in sequence

Yeah the worst thing about the olympics is the medal harvesting for one trick ponies

Ive 23 olympic medals

Holy shit what all in?

Swimming

Yeah. Go on?

No just swimming.

Fuck off you boring cant-run cant-jump cant-throw-shit cunt

must be devastating for u not to be able to tell him to get in the sea

Thats another thing, can the preening cunt even handle waves. Doubt it.

Or sharks. Sharks would make quick work of him I bet.

(Actually FTR, for me, the jingoism is way ridic - national medal count as a proxy for national penis size. Much of which is leftover Cold War stuff.)

(Plus the insipid valorizing of international harmony and coming together and whatnot. Bullshit. They are coming together only to compete, and hopefully to annihilate some other poor schmuck, to demonstrate dominance over him or her. For USA to be #1 someone else needs to be #2 and so on.)

(Please show me instead a huge event where people come together to cooperate, to work together on like maybe feeding some hungry people or building some houses for people without them. I'd get much more teary-eyed over that than somebody's struggle to throw a thing faster than other people can throw it or whatever.)

And here I am being That Guy, and so I need to shut it. Carry on.

Don't get all the fuss over @TheEllenShow 's tweet abt #UsainBolt? Maybe this will help:

DJ Khaled. Who is this man. Why he famous

see there, rip? you've already played yourself.

The Lena Dunham/Odell Beckham twissue that's making the rounds right now.

Lena Dunham bragged about grooming and sexually abusing her little sister in her memoir. The fact that she's still in public consciousness is probably more interesting/sadder to me.

meh

my eyes glaze over when i see her name. i don't even know what happened. some kind of thing. i'm almost amazed at myself by how much i don't care.

I don't understand why she is so famous and I also don't understand why people care so much about every little annoying and self-involved thing she says.

It's a culture thing. The people calling these shots are the same sorts-of people who'd rape and murder your family for fun and profit if they could get away with it. Money and power don't exactly attract the most decent people out there. Lena Dunham's one of them, and she's just out there in the open about her contempt for all human life except her own. That's the only explanation I can find.

I imagine people are annoyed because most people find her and what she represents completely reprehensible, yet she's shoved down our throats by decision makers who identify with her shittiness. Then people go along with it because people identify with it too because they're scumbags, or just follow the leader without much thought.
