Things You Just Don't Care About

what gets me is the ppl whose actual goal isn't just to climb everest, but to do it without bringing extra oxygen along! i mean i get just wanting to climb the mountain i guess but deliberately doing it in a way designed to maximize your own chances of DYING there feels like some seriously toxic brand of recklessness

kinda surprised that there haven't been any obsessed deep sea divers who tried to swim all the way to the bottom of the mariana trench yet

It kills me how documentaries about climbing attempts play up the supposed drama of whether they'll make it to the top or else freeze to death trying. Except there is NO DRAMA in that. The narrative conflict is phony, because they always have the option to just NOT CLIMB the thing with no consequence.

This is a perfect case for not caring.

Oh good, I was wondering if anyone cared about this everest "drama" going on. This is only another version of people accidentally killing themselves while taking a selfie.

I saw a photo of the queue of climbers for summiting and there must have been 80 people in a long line, within the last quarter mile of the top. It's a fucking circus, except it is happening in a place called the Death Zone.

a long line of ppl waiting to have their photo taken in a place where there is not enough oxygen to survive has to be some kind of metaphor for the state of humanity in 2019

Ideological purity.

the college friend who writes for jacobin and won't SHUT THE FUCK UP with the Bernie shit.

we get it, you believe, but please stop spending every waking second stanning for this man.

there's a whole culture of freedivers and they die like all the time.

the moon landing seriously

White Claw

Which airline you used, which part of the cabin you sat in, which airport you transited through, what make the plane was.

I've never deactivated Facebook once in the 15 years I've been on there--I have friends who are on and off regularly, but I just kind of shrug off everything--but if I ever do, it'll be on the occasion of a new Taylor Swift album.

fried chicken sandwiches

^^There's a shared post going around FB with the picture of the Popeye's CEO, an older white woman, above this caption:

This is the owner of popeyes but she uses a black woman in her commercials to sell chicken and this week through social media black people created another trend and helped this woman make MILLIONS of dollars selling a fucking chicken sandwich

A lot of the people sharing this are red-hatters who haven't got near as angry about shit that actually matters.

'red-hatters' meaning MAGA people? why would they be opposed to rapacious capitalism?

Yes, Red Hat=MAGA. It's just that they clutch pearls because of things they literally just learned about Popeyes, while at the same time praising Chick-fil-A and their genuinely bad business practices to the skies. It's like racists out to find 'the real racists'.

let them clutch pearls into the void
i do not care

uh yeah I'd appreciate it if you didn't sully the reputation of the Red Hat Society

They give these out to little kids here

If everyone could just shut the fuck up about Keanu Reeves that would be excellent.

wow what a grouch!!!!

lana fucking del rey.

I listened to some NFR! today and I really wanted to like it but I bailed after three songs

I liked it but also bailed after a few songs lol

tbh can't be arsed. I'm just that cool

music is so fucking boring

she works very hard to be that boring.

I'm all for the "pose as art" thing if the art is interesting, or the pose is interesting, but in her case both are done to death and unimaginative.

Everything that isn’t either pasta or a Tom Ford perfume

Joaquin Phoenix in Todd Phillips's JOKER

Seconding the indifference to Lana Del Ray and Joker.

The Nobel Prize in Literature.

Can you not care about something you don't understand? If so, this thing about Wayne Rooney and Jamie Vardy's wives.

I neither care for it nor understand it but I do get a mild kick out of its exoticism.

Celebzzzzzz.....

'TOM D. SHRUGS AT WAGS SPAT' Sun-headline imminent

Any aspect of recent internet China hysteria that doesn't actually involve human rights violations or political oppression. If it's about video games, sports, cartoon characters, etc. forget it. Not to mention that it all feels massively astroturfed

nobel prize seconded

Alfred Nobel's diversionary tactic so everyone would forget he invented dynamite continues to bear fruit.

To answer the thread: Neurotic SFF writers getting butthurt at some perceived slight or other on (or off) social media.

don't think i need to say what it is today

yeah I also do not care about national indian pudding day

Prince Andrew interview.

Came here to post the same

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.
