Things You Just Don't Care About

tbf the silence was still probably playing while the dj brought the next song into the mix

must have really spoiled The Birdy Song, that

I used to take a lot of pleasure in pissing off po-faced minute's silence wankers at football matches, helped by having a loud disabled kid with me who genuinely doesn't gaf about "the rules" . And I used to feel like high-fiving any other ppl nonchalantly sat back and not giving much of a fuck about it - usually surly teenagers with attitude types!

One minute silences. (I'm certain it's been said on this thread before).

i feel like there's a continuum from one minute silences -> flag at half-mast -> "thoughts and prayers". but that's probably just me.

Children.

Not forever. Just right now I'm over them.

It's June 19 and I need this school year to be over.

I didn't realise you were a football steward, Tom.

This thread has taken a turn into things you have strong opinions about.

it's always been this.

Ditto on respectful silences of any length since I feel my school uses them to show "respect" in lieu of any real change. Like when there were nation-wide school walkouts in support of gun reform, my school had a leadership-approved "minute of silence on the playground" to pre-empt the students doing anything, but the leadership knows that our surrounding community is conservative so they won't hold town halls or parent meetings or openly support anything that they can't cloak in vague language about "equity." It's a delicate dance and I appreciate what they have to do, but it's irritating as hell.

reports on Royal Ascot that that involve posh twats in hats rather than mass IED fatalities.

Celebrity deaths

Mostly

the logies are a perfect storm of dozens upon dozens of things i just don't care about

^^^^^^^^^^

I'm starting to feel like not caring about the world cup isn't enough. I can't escape it! Just went on a Twitter muting spree to get a little peace.

I blame Ned

blame caNeda

So happy the USA isn't in it this year. that shit sucked in 2014

That sounds like retro caring, or like a relief-echo.

I didn't care about the World Cup until a certain publisher assigned the first 32 respondents countries and promised to send a big pile of books to the person with the winning nation. I got Switzerland, so I cared for a bit, but now I can go back to not caring.

I blame Ned

Good lord, I'm posting about it about 1/100th of what others are doing.

Having never played, watched or even much thought about Super Mario Bros, much of Twitter is becoming increasingly mystifying

is there a new Mario meme? This excites me

Like...sexually?

So happy the USA isn't in it this year. that shit sucked in 2014

smashing pumpkins vs sweden would be HOT tho

Birthdays.

FWIW I started to really like world cup soccer this year. But one thing I can't be arsed to care about is takes on "the Politics of the World Cup."

I got really tired of FB reminding me about birthdays. I started to feel like if I put a note on one friend's wall, but forgot on another, I was being a bad friend, so i just started to ignore them altogether.

I personally haven't wanted to know about my birthdays since age 21, and I assume other adults feel similarly.

other peoples birthdays have turned into some kind of extortion racket. no thanks, i do not want to chip in for a weekend cottage in the highlands because you're 37 around then nor do i even wish have a reasonably expensive meal.

Yikes, I haven't encountered that sort of grift so far

on the other hand birthdays are a good reason to reconnect with friends and for everyone to meet up and have fun based on the flimsy auspices of it being someone's birthday. I'm all for em - they're a good excuse to get out, within reason of course.

I'm not antisocial but if a birthday is an excuse to see a bud then I don't know, he/she is not a good bud? Would rather spend time with the people I naturally spend my time with.

Some people make a whole freaking deal about their birthday and it's ridiculous.

~real friends are always there~

am I the only ilxor without a dedicated Happy Birthday thread :_(

nope!

Hardly anyone has dedicated Happy Birthday threads.

Happy birthday rip van wanko

ty wins that should hold me til November
