Things You Just Don't Care About

i just took off two days of work and the weather is gorgeous, we just biked around to different parks and I've barely been on my phone and that feels amazing, a couple days away from the internet makes me realize there are so many dumb frivolous things i just don't care about right now!

it feels especially liberating checking in for a second - Kanye, white house correspondents, same fucking twitter takes one after the next, who gives a shit???? I need to get outside more and away from my desk and my phone

otmfm

yes the natural world does not gaf

sometimes if i get frustrated w internet drama i try and explain this shit to my cat. he's looking at me like, you woke me from my sun nap for this?

p4k scores lmaoooooo are we still doing this

i aggressively do not care about this draymond/barkley thing

one of the good things about the internet cycle is that all you have to do is wait a day and nobody cares about the thing you don't care about anymore. kanye and michelle wolf just a distant memory already.

p4k scores omg yes there is almost nothing I care about less

all you have to do is wait a day and nobody cares about the thing you don't care about anymore

HER EMAILS

kanye

this has probably been mentioned but i don’t even care enough to check the last few posts itt

what exactly do you mean by that? I'm having trouble imagining a context. seems callous to be indifferent to another person's worst, and you'll obligatorily give a shit about your own health

woes

(xp) Obviously not obligatory.

also i really don't care when public health authorities try to guilt me into not enjoying life by swinging the scary future diseases in my face

actually i do care i get annoyed and tell them to shut up even tho they're only on the news

I stopped listening to them after the binge drinking fiasco.

Abba reunion, no fucks given.

Who Grimes is dating

Who Elon Musk is dating

Who basically anyone is dating

what people writing hot takes for a living think about whether a piece of music is any good based on its embracement or rejection of a notional zeitgeist formed of hot takes

ppl writing hot takes

ok i care to the extent that everything in whatever you call what's going on in the media at a given moment, news cycle or whatever even tho news as a word now is fully assimilated to this gaseous blurp, anyway it's amping the nausea i'm already feeling from hay fever or a virus or chronic overindulgence or whatever it is, in short have we've reached peak blather but i'm not quite able to tear myself away just yet so the noise still gets in my head

so-called challenger banks and their fluctuating share prices and whatever the fuck it is they are allegedly challenging.

xp shame ta fuck on ya for equating that shit to the great tradition of blather, constituent item #1 of which is that it knows it is of no consequence and all characteristics of which flow from this bedrock

guff

yeah its guff youre maybe thinking of

maybe a cross-channel difference of use idk, should we have a thread to argue about whether blather or guff are selfconscious? could stick it in ilm and nobody would bat an eyelid.

any discussion on blather has only one rightful home, flann o'brien thread

we have a thread on guff obv

a whole board on it sez he

working up to something that includes guff, hot takes, what cultural artefacts mean and the ubiquity of customer fucken surveys at the moment

im here for it

ex-wives of uber rich dudes who write tell alls about how surprise the guy was an asshole

when did not-caring become so aggressive

what the Fuck is the "intellectual dark web"

trump thread

(answering flappy's question, not submitting an entry)

i can't read the politics thread it moves too fast / also paying attention to & posting about trump every day is exhausting & i don't know how people do it

they recycle

it's just a sandbox for funny guys

that's a sandbox i stopped playing in bc there's a very cliquey group of deadpan comedians in there

Cliquey in what way? As a regular poster there, I hadn't noticed, but maybe I'm part of the problem.

Yeah me too I guess. I've found the thread to be a useful digest of the whole shit show. I don't have the constitution right now to subject myself to the dozens of daily disasters via primary sources. It's been comforting at times, too, so thank you funny guys.

good mourning!

mourning wood truancy

xp i don’t know about deadpan but there is a fair amount of gross out posting on the pitics thread that keeps me off of it
