Things You Just Don't Care About

Thirded. Our public broadcaster had a fucking live stream up to show Musk's hobby. Gtfo.

Came here to post "the space program." Like, do these rocket scientists have any actual goals in mind? We're decades past the proud "because we can!" stage and well into the "well, what happens if we ... bring Play-Doh into space?" stage.

lol me too. NYT says: "Launch Opens a New Space Age and Rekindles Past Glory." Huh?!

It's basically a religion.

shit like the tv wasn’t invented because they were “trying to invent the tv” or something... they were just fucking around with weird shit

but yeah I support redirecting that $ towards poverty etc obv

the sensibilities of american ilxors

"sensibilities"

answer to OP

ILX in 2020

Cosplay.

the inner life of Melania Trump

Cosplay

This is the right answer. Every time I see a photo of those twats I think, "why don't you take a look at the world around you, and just grow the fuck up?"

sounds like you care

One of my dear friends is a cosplayer who suffers from terrible depression and literally cosplaying is one of the few things that brings them joy, and they're plenty involved in the world around them, so idk, maybe don't be a dick?

Nobody says you have to care about it, as this is the threads for that, but going on a rant akin to Matt Walsh's "takedown" of Miley Cyrus to call them stunted growth people simply cos you don't like it is nagl

(to Halo, obv not to pomenitul)

Cosplayers seem totally harmless to me, unless they're white military cosplayers and armed

Cosplaytriots are the worst

For sure, Neanderthal, my statement of indifference stands for actual indifference and maybe a bit of bafflement (unlike when I said I didn't care about US politics, which simply isn't an option).

it's literally like any other pointless hobby

tend to hear about it more than most pointless hobbies tho

I'm definitely not someone who has much of an interest in it at all, and don't tend to read much outside this friend's posts. just thought it weird that in incited such furor w/ Halo.

... from whom? this is one of those things i feel is solved by unfollowing people

serious lol at "Cosplaytriots"

I unfollow so many people that I forget I'm friends with them. noticed an old friend defriended me today on FB Purity, tried to find out why, realized I'd unfollowed him years ago, and found post after post of creepy pro-cop rhetoric.

btw, if you've seen the meme of the kid who runs a mile for every fallen first responder, it's his dad. I won't drag the kid - he's sweet and just doing what his dad is making him do.

Maybe it is weird, and yes, I don't want to be a dick about it. BradNelson makes a good point. There was a not-bad pop-culture blog that I used to follow, but the guy started posting endless photos from cosplay meetups and I had to stop reading it because I was gonna end up grinding all the enamel off my teeth. Now I'm free to not care about cosplay for months on end.

From the general cultural ether? Idk, the fact that we all know exactly what cosplay is now but didn't 20 yrs ago speaks to the fact. Same thing with ComicCon. I'm not on social media so unfollowing wouldn't do much good (not that it's much of a problem for me)

Coincided with popularity of superhero movies

A lot of sites I read seem to have a lot of cosplay and drag queen reality show coverage. I don't care about either thing, but whatever.

you had to learn about the existence of 2 things over the course of 20 years that sucks

I work in a nerdy industry and I barely ever witness a cosplay happening

did recently visit NYC and saw a bunch of costumed teens walking around, had to make sure there was a con... thought to myself "maybe this is just how kids dress these days"

Didn't say it sucked just noting the fact, you ass

liberals pining for any past prez

I don’t care about Whisps, sorry

Wiping

Cosplay the word bugs me more than the thing. It's so fucking twee.

The word "play" when used in a sexual context is always creepy and annoying.

Animal Crossing until I start playing which I plan to do and then we'll see

Always good to know who the militantly anti foreplay people are

foreplay
buttplay
coldplay

no wait, i'm anti coldplay

Animal Crossing

Very much this. Cutesy video games in general.

if there was martial arts in the game i would play it

Games with combat.

brands' blm pr messaging and the hypocrisy thereof

At this point: hydroxychloroquine.

BOOM

BLAOW

DOINK
