Trump investigation. I'd wager the balance in my current account ($39 Canadian) that he's still prez at the close of this year

The Saxe-Coburg-Diana brats and their copulation and wedding arrangements with other self-important spoilt rich brats. Celebzz in short.

I ned a thing for when i experience a thing and go from “caring curious” to officially “not caring,” but it’s merely a bullshit facade to disguise that i’m actually hostile to some of the hot takes and it’s safer to just go “ah, fuck it, really ‘idgaf, everyone’”?

It passive-ijdgaf.

“I don’t care for it and find it grating to hear about this much” still allows your interlocutor some dignity for caring about it

valorous wokelord (silby), Wednesday, 11 April 2018 00:02 (six years ago) link

I think you’re right, mine is maybe more “pass-ag idgaf.”

Hunt3r, Wednesday, 11 April 2018 00:09 (six years ago) link

lmao @ "caring curious"

flappy bird, Wednesday, 11 April 2018 01:33 (six years ago) link

that is excellent. gonna use that from now on, thx

There are lots of things one doesn't care about, but it's unremarkable that one doesn't care about them. Obscure lichens. Long-vanished minor-league hockey teams. Extinct rice varieties. Rainfall in uninhabited districts of Mongolia. Unpublished short stories by adolescent New England prep-school males 1983-87.

One only mentions something here if it's not enough to establish that you don't care about it - you want to make some kind of statement vis-a-vis people who DO care about the thing.

It’s about knowing when to care or not to care

Droni Mitchell (Ross), Wednesday, 11 April 2018 02:18 (six years ago) link

whether Trump or Pence is president

there's just no way to know

Hunt3r, Wednesday, 11 April 2018 02:24 (six years ago) link

Mordy, Wednesday, 11 April 2018 03:04 (six years ago) link

Especially obscure lichens

Mark Zuckerberg.

Buff Jeckley (Tom D.), Wednesday, 11 April 2018 09:13 (six years ago) link

... especially obscure lichens are more interesting.

Buff Jeckley (Tom D.), Wednesday, 11 April 2018 09:14 (six years ago) link

yeah i was gonna say everything bar the short stories sounded good

vermicious kid (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 11 April 2018 11:50 (six years ago) link

ilxors be likin' lichen

like hell, but with more ketchup (Ye Mad Puffin), Wednesday, 11 April 2018 12:25 (six years ago) link

obscure knowledgey things are more worth caring about than vastly overstocked opinions

vermicious kid (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 11 April 2018 14:08 (six years ago) link

No one itt is actually providing evidence of a passion for obscure lichens or Mongolian precipitation levels tbf.

No purposes. Sounds. (Sund4r), Wednesday, 11 April 2018 15:20 (six years ago) link

the Bill Murraying of Jeff Goldblum

― Hazy Maze Cave (Adam Bruneau), Monday, April 2, 2018 5:53 PM (one week ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

weird. i thought Jeff Goldblum was being Ted Dansoned

Right column Leftist (sunny successor), Thursday, 12 April 2018 13:40 (six years ago) link

Definitely Murray imo, in the sense of "..this middle-aged actor's antics would be weird/creepy if it was anyone else, but it's ok because it's Jeff (or Bill)"

Master of Treacle, Thursday, 12 April 2018 13:47 (six years ago) link

I have no clue when Jeff Goldblum became so foxy.

Yerac, ikr?

Right column Leftist (sunny successor), Thursday, 12 April 2018 14:16 (six years ago) link

I am looking at pics now and yep, so much more attractive now than when he was circa The Fly/Earthgirls are Easy/Jurassic Park.

Yerac, Thursday, 12 April 2018 14:20 (six years ago) link

Important Q: where does he sit within the Chive pantheon?

the Bill Murraying of Jeff Goldblum

Isn't this the plot of Life Aquatic?

jmm, Thursday, 12 April 2018 14:25 (six years ago) link

I feel like I've read lots of remarks recently too about how he's the one white man that most black people love.

Yerac, Thursday, 12 April 2018 14:26 (six years ago) link

GIS'ing Goldblum by year, it looks like he let his hair go grey around 2010-11. I think that makes a big difference.

jmm, Thursday, 12 April 2018 14:29 (six years ago) link

I like his little slight of hand tricks in Nashville

Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Thursday, 12 April 2018 14:44 (six years ago) link

Rewatched what about bob and man has that not aged well. Murray’s insufferable in it

Prince Philips hip.

That's you and the Queen agreed on something then.

Buff Jeckley (Tom D.), Friday, 13 April 2018 11:36 (six years ago) link

Had no idea he was so with it.

pplains, Friday, 13 April 2018 12:03 (six years ago) link

email battles between people who write about music

flamenco drop (BradNelson), Friday, 13 April 2018 15:27 (six years ago) link

i know it is rich to characterize one of the people involved as someone "who writes about music" but again i don't care

flamenco drop (BradNelson), Friday, 13 April 2018 15:29 (six years ago) link

i'm thinking....i don't care enough to ask more about this.

scott seward, Friday, 13 April 2018 15:44 (six years ago) link

so i'm in the right place.

Hamilton. Everyone in Cleveland can talk about nothing except whether they were or were not able to get Hamilton tickets today.

Battles about music are so dumb - it’s like arguing about your favourite colour or soda flavour - subjective to how music hits your ear

after party for the apocalypse (Ross), Friday, 13 April 2018 16:15 (six years ago) link

otm except for my favorite music which is the best and yours that sucks
