One thing I think is truly in the spirit of this thread: people's medical problems, their adventures in finding doctors, their opinions of different hospitals, what procedures they had done, etc. Maybe this changes as you get older? I cannot fucking stand getting trapped into one of these conversations. To me doctors are auto mechanics, I want them to fix the problem so I can be on my way. I'm not going to discuss new brake pads in detail with my friends.

I don't care about most of the things that I ostensibly care about but since I almost never get to bond with others, including close ones, over the things that matter to me the most, I basically care because I need contact.

That the Reformation is supposedly 500 years old as of today. This is just the Educational Comics version of history.

Really though what is it with well-off older white people, talking about internists and hospitals like they're fucking restaurants?

IF (Terrorist) Yes, Explain (man alive), Tuesday, 31 October 2017 18:05 (six years ago) link

well they start spending as much time there as they do in restaurants, make sense

i know a lot of people who talk about their therapist, wearing their "dealing with their issues" like a badge of honor.

drejelire, Tuesday, 31 October 2017 18:29 (six years ago) link

yeah, there's something a bit disingenuous and maybe narcissistic about that kind of talk

Whether anyone (on ILX or anywhere else) has masturbated in front of a woman.

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.

Ripped Taylor (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 29 November 2017 17:54 (six years ago) link

Especially when contrasted with sadness about public figures whose work you like being outed

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.

scott seward, Wednesday, 29 November 2017 19:42 (six years ago) link

this new trend of ppl dying must stop

Bowie and Prince tho

flappy bird, Wednesday, 29 November 2017 19:43 (six years ago) link

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.

scott seward, Wednesday, 29 November 2017 20:01 (six years ago) link

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
