Things You Just Don't Care About

1. What other people are ordering at the restaurant. I don't care.

2. Waving my hands in the air.

3. Care Bears (there is an internet community for this, right?)

4. The Jimmy Saville thing that's going on at the moment. I don't care, sorry.

Sport. Got stuck at one of 2 tables people sat at from my course on Monday night and the rest of the table proceeded to talk about hurling.
I sat there thinking it was rude to leave, for several minutes, then got up and moved to other table and instantly found conversation interesting.

Does mean I'm less fit than I should be probably though. Used to dance quite frequently until I moved too far out of town to get home easily from wahtever clubs

I think I have a thing in my brain that just tunes out sport talk the moment it happens. If sport comes up in conversation or on telly all I hear is "blahblahblahblah" MAybe if I didn't have this handy cerebral device I might learn something, but sadly it's there to stay.

music criticism.

I care enough to make various ecstatic + flip dodgy comments about him being a paedo that lives with his mother and is on benefits. But I wouldn't listen to the fucken interview if you paid me, pal!

Prince Andrew interview.

Is this just a subset of generally not caring about the British royal family, or its own specific not-caring?

Colin Kaepernick’s workout

I don't care abut the royals generally but I think this is a distinctive kind of not caring. Non-royalist Twitter seems very interested in the interview.

I care enough about the Royal Family to fervently hope for their destruction but, other than that, I don't have any interest in watching an interview with some worthless rich moron trying to cover their back.

how over obama americans are now

the left is v over him, the center is dying bc he cant run again, the right still hates him

it's fine to not care about it before you hear the details of the interview or watch it at which point it's not-okay to not-care about it.

per. the rules the thing is on iplayer for the next 29 days. I very much doubt it will be on Iplayer for 29 days.

If you watched it then posting that you don't care about it seems like you don't care about abuse. If you didn't watch it it seems like the same but you are telling people that you don't care about the abuse you didn't hear about. Neither stance is a good stance, alba ffs.

& it's nothing to do with royalists. It's to do with not aligning yourself with a clear abuser.

to be clear - this is a very bad thing to make a public (ilx is public) statement about "not caring" about it.

sorry to go on but publically stating that you don't care about this is not good. try to take yourself out of the internet bubble for a bit.

I don't care about it and who is prince andrew

If you watched it then posting that you don't care about it seems like you don't care about abuse.

that "seems" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

Yes, what was that about internet bubbles?

I care about abuse I don't care about all the zomg whatacarcrashlookatthisclip

If there's more to be gained from watching the interview than watching the him unconvincingly deny Virginia Giuffre's testimony it hasn't felt that way from the coverage (either on Twitter or from the media reports I've seen)

I really got on my high horse. apologies, especially to Alba.

No worries. A 3am jed special. Apologies if I sounded like I was dismissing the whole case.

Thanks Alba - Sorry to Tom D also.

whilst still vaguely on topic here I'd like to apologise in advance for the many 3pm shitposting sprees I do when I'm pissed!

Mr. Rogers
Movies about Mr. Rogers

There is something weird about this Mr. Rogers revival. Seeing Hanks in the trailer in the makeup and garb, it just looks very very creepy & I won't go near that film

You telling everyone that I'm a down disgrace and, additionally, dragging my name all over the place

There's nothing weird about the Mr. Rogers revival, really, imo. It's an attempt at course correction, people seeking a sane and centered alternative to the extremes gnawing at the edges of our everyday.

The Tom Hanks movie, though, is def weird, I'll grant you.

second time tom hanks has unintentionally freaked everyone the fuck out

(polar express was less fucked up, but also directly aimed at children)

tbh i appreciate that about him

tom hanks carves his own uncanny valley

He's like a box of chocolates

Incels

Playing right into their hands, imo

his mr rogers just seems like forrest gump

it's so fucked up and unwatchable-seeming

like, why does his mr rogers talk like he's has several strokes

had.

sorry, i'm done

Korn rote a song called mr rogers

Judging by social media, I care far less about viral videos of humans risking their lives to save animals than many of my friends. In fact, I guess I do care insofar as I find this idiotic behavior rather than heart-warming.

The whole 'animals are innocent little angels whilst humans are monstrous devourers of nature' trend needs to die.

Not least because nature is devouring itself through us.

I give exhibit A as evidence to the contrary m'lud, my cute as fuck and angelic black Labrador who is far superior to 99% of humans I meet.

lol calz, I knew you were going to respond. I'll make an exception for you and your lab.

van halen's rep with teenagers

^ I've seen about 10 bajillion people on my social media feed defending Billie Eilish and have seen exactly 0 people attacking her. This is almost always the exact pattern I witness for any big social media controversy & it makes me want to scream. Just shut the fuck up everyone, please.

Twitter in a nutshell. I saw some refer to this as "eggmanning" yesterday.

Or it's Twitter reading your mind.

it WAS really weird and stupid that it even became a thing though. like I could take or leave VH (mostly leave) but seriously, they're not the fucking Beatles. if she had zero familiarity with like the Stones or Prince or something I still personally wouldn't care but I could at least comprehend the incredulity.
