Things You Just Don't Care About

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

think the internet has made me not care about people dying. in general. i am rarely gutted

having faced real death and medical emergencies in the family this year i have had the opposite reaction, i give far less of a shit about the internet than my real life, which is actually finite and precious.

any news story about somebody tweeting something is automatically in the running for the least interesting thing i will read all day

i don't care about what other people don't want to hear about. in my opinion, not writing about something that you don't want to read about is the way to go.

Net neutrality. I mean, I care about it, and I want a bunch of people that aren’t me to do something about it. But in a way where it doesn’t flood every social network I’m on and all the algorithms think that is the most import thing in the world to me.

yeah I had to mute every variation of that phrase for twitter

im just annoyed that we have to go through this panic about net neutrality every six months or so. i thought we figured this shit out with SOPA in early 2012

my coworker sent me link to discussion about it on our intra-company discussion board and I was so mad at him for getting me sucked into reading these half-baked "FREE MARKET!! INNOVATION!! CONSUMER CHOICE!!!" arguments from guys (they were all male) whose profile pics screamed "libertarian jackass".

Magic tricks. srsly.

I found it quite amusing that an ad for Fisherman's Friend kept popping up on the boat scenes in Vikings the other day.
