Things You Just Don't Care About

well I did say I mostly ignore it. But when it is about solid policy, that has been voted through congress, it piques my interests for about 10 seconds.

this this this this this. so utterly utterly sick of our media covering america like we live there. we do not.

Can't we make some kind of trade where news of US politics never crosses US borders, and we here in the US never have to hear about the fucking British royal family ever again?

Fuck that, you can have them as well.

If there was an active Brit poster curated Royal Family thread on here, as opposed to the netflix series, you'd have something to really fucking moan about!

Really looking forward to the BBC drama series which takes a sympathetic look at the Trump presidency, helping to humanize the man and his family.

What I would love to hear nonstop Brexit talk in the office instead of what the U.S. president has said lately.

"Now get this, she's saying that she ain't so firm on 2019 being a set date anymore."

"Damn. Even the Cornhuskers got out of the Big 12 with less commotion than this ordeal."

God I'd love a pplains roundup of daily UK news

the bbc has a similar problem to the abc here, which is to represent a really fucking awful person/concept/extremist movement as valid and sympathetic in some shitty government-appeasing false portrayal of “balance”. we just had a massive and unnecessary public vote postal survey to determine whether same-sex couples could get married, and the abc spent the whole time talking to fuckhead bigots like they were reasonable people with great ideas. it was fucking repugnant and has basically sealed my mistrust of all public broadcasters.

(xp) Let's try it. Our big national breaking story tonight is some prat resigning over porn on his computer, though he says it wasn't his porn and, anyway, he's not even resigning over that, he's resigning about lying about the fact that he knew the police had found someone else's porn on his computer.

... also, it's just common or garden porn, as it were, not even bad stuff.

Down with the Pornhuskers!

The BBC already tried an ill timed humanising May drama that disappeared without a trace after the election.

shit, i'd love a pplains roundup of daily usa news

Guys, these are my co-workers. I'm more of an SEC guy.

But Theresa May says Damian Green may have been framed, who's to say?

I don't think I have any interest in how many people like cultural products or how many reviewers say nice things about them and I'm somewhere between bemused and amused when other people express an interest in this

whether ppl are getting on or off social media

i think it’s just the way celebs & some ppl announce it in this open letter style it always seems a little much to me

like, idk just bounce & dm the ppl you need to tell.

Is that Ta-Nehisi Coates related?

I agree generally, but in his particular case (and there are other examples), the medium had a huge role in the message.

I don't understand leaving Twitter if you're a writer. Post your shit, promote it, and get out.

*ghosts ilx- doesnt. tell. any. one. (please clap)*

i did that here! i don't know how long i lasted. i think i was just trying to do stuff and i thought if i wrote it down it would make it real. it doesn't work that well though.

:-) taking a break is cool. glad u made it thru bro. it's if you intend to leave forever, then i dont care.

recently mtn folk were joking about "nobody cares that you telemark" bumper stickers from years gone by, and reflected on one response which was pretty wtf

Anyone who expects to be Patreoned

i guess i'm supposed to be afraid to buy a crockpot because a fictional dad forgot batteries for his smoke detector and his crockpot caught fire or something and his house burned down and he died in 1998, anyway i don't care.

The flu is overrated this year

You never know about that one

https://aux.avclub.com/nobody-cares-that-you-don-t-care-about-the-super-bowl-1798265836

ofc may as well skip that and read https://www.avclub.com/last-nights-super-bowl-ratings-were-the-lowest-in-8-yea-1822727516 seems like a lot of people don't care about the Super Bowl

also a lot of football fans dont care about/outright hate the Patriots and/or the Eagles

will sign off on this and expand to not caring how much you "don't care about sports" in general

cross reference "sportsball" to the hated idioms + phrases thread

yes

yeah that cant be reiterated enough. also making sure other people know you don't care about sports. like making really sure, im not talking one post in this thread (i dont care about sports), im saying the overcompensating / condescending pose people will take irl and online, which is what "sportsball" represents and im glad its died an ugly death

although i did watch the second half of the game last night bc i had money on it. im a sneaky gambler. also was rooting for the eagles (in addition to all the obvious reasons) bc i wanted to see how buck philly fans would go and hey, they did not disappoint: http://www.oregonlive.com/nfl/index.ssf/2018/02/watch_philadelphia_eagles_fan.html

thats a video of a guy eating horse shit btw

xp ppl thinking it lends instant intellectual cred

xp ew scratch that I don't care about sports

Pat and Eagles fans are all war criminals tho
