Things You Just Don't Care About

I'm watching twin peaks s1 for the first time right now, will probably watch the new one when I'm done

oh wait there's a season two a well. and the movie. I'll have to watch those before I watch the new series. How riveting is this post

how long are we going to have to live thru 80s nostalgia? I Love the 80s aired 15 years ago ffs

ahhhh dislike of 80s nostalgia really takes me back to the early 2000s, what a time that was...

the indictments

One thing I think is truly in the spirit of this thread: people's medical problems, their adventures in finding doctors, their opinions of different hospitals, what procedures they had done, etc. Maybe this changes as you get older? I cannot fucking stand getting trapped into one of these conversations. To me doctors are auto mechanics, I want them to fix the problem so I can be on my way. I'm not going to discuss new brake pads in detail with my friends.

I don't care about most of the things that I ostensibly care about but since I almost never get to bond with others, including close ones, over the things that matter to me the most, I basically care because I need contact.

That the Reformation is supposedly 500 years old as of today. This is just the Educational Comics version of history.

Really though what is it with well-off older white people, talking about internists and hospitals like they're fucking restaurants?

well they start spending as much time there as they do in restaurants, make sense

i know a lot of people who talk about their therapist, wearing their "dealing with their issues" like a badge of honor.

yeah, there's something a bit disingenuous and maybe narcissistic about that kind of talk

your disgust with my lowbrow dietary choices

probably have posted this before but

peoples' pets

also, when their dog is their profile pic

Yeah well I don't care about your fucking kids.

JK I love kids.

NB My pet is not my profile pic that is weird.

Whether anyone (on ILX or anywhere else) has masturbated in front of a woman.

thanks for the male perspective 🙄

btw my previous answer is also a response to this thread’s prompt

I'm not at all interested in the internecine battles of Canadian academics.

I probably could have worded it better, what I meant was I don't really care to read a thread on ILX where men talk about masturbating in front of women - their motivations, their experiences etc.- then vote on it.

Keep it up with the pet pictures, it's not overrated, it's something the internet does well.

How much you've always hated the work of a public figure who's just been outed as a creep.

Especially when contrasted with sadness about public figures whose work you like being outed

aw I love caring about hate!

I hate caring about love *launches into grouchy but besotted Bacharach number*

i think the internet has made me not care about people dying. in general. i am rarely gutted. i don't even flinch anymore. and all the mass shootings...its all a blur now. which is kinda sad. but maybe that's just a part of getting old and bitter. it's so endless. which it always has been. but its such a daily internet ritual. the daily death.

this new trend of ppl dying must stop

Bowie and Prince tho

well i guess pre-internet i just wasn't deluged by public grief and memories of fave performers and all that. and now i am and as a result i kinda don't care anymore.

i have this HUGE book at the store of princess diana poems written by the common people and its kinda touching. i remember where i was when her and dodo bit the dust. i was in north carolina. visiting my sister. and it was the last time i ever saw my sister. that's my touching story.

don't care about bowie and prince anymore. they had to die sooner or later.

Aw damn

The feeling I feel when a Bowie or a Prince dies is complicated, more of a response to the pageantry and cash-ins and public wailing than it is to the actual passing-on of a person

The only death-of-a-public-figure that actually put me into a state of mourning was John Fahey. I had a ticket to his show and he cancelled. I didn't hear or know he'd died-- too obscure I guess to make a headline. Only found out six months later when I was leafing through a MOJO magazine, came upon that twelve-page combination "obit + tour diary + document of his latter-day shattered life", read it in the record store with tears flowing openly

the beatles

Oof
