Things You Just Don't Care About

The Olympics

I feel like there should be a failure Olympics for lazy people who are too clumsy and unfit to be any good at athletics. And if they win any medals they publicly reject them and go on sweary drunken rants about how shit their country is!

you're describing politics

wearing more than one pair of pants in a week

You understand how that immediately reads to us Brits

haha!

Onlyfans, people who use Onlyfans, people who do gross shit on Onlyfans and can't get paid enough, all that nonsense

Kanye West

Pen Farthing and his f*cking animals.

covidiots

plagiarism

What counts as a "song"

I have this same anxiety with "tracks" vs "songs"

It's one of those things where I think we should just all agree on one word and then move on

music thingy

whole conversation on the wrong thread, but YOLO

I remember these stuffy pedants in the theatre community who would SCREAM "original cast recording" whenever someone referred to a cast recording as a "soundtrack".

yes, they weren't wrong, but they were joyless fucks, and I kind of wanted to screw with them a few times and say 'IT'S NOT THE ORIGINAL CAST RECORDING, IT'S THE LONDON REVIVAL, YOU PEDANTIC SWIMMING POOL OF SHIT"

I feel like 'tracks' connotes recorded numbers, whereas a song can be sung around a campfire or on the stage

Then what's a record

tracks = mixing tools / techno loops / general fodder for a bigger set of music imo

The Met Gala

I'd never really been aware of it until this morning and now I'd say bolt the doors and chuck a grenade in there

What's a "lewks"? It's something that happens at the Met Gala, according to twitter.

The Met Gala

Anything I'm demanded to "unmute!"

Drake

is it like some twee spelling of “looks”?

no he's a rapper

Nicki Minaj and her tweets.

cabinet reshuffles

Energy firms set up by money-grabbing public school Tory scumbags going bust.

I've had literally hundreds of aggressively rude door to door sales reps trying get me to switch to one of these fuckers for nigh on 15 years now. Usually their parting shot was a variation of "you carry on being ripped off then" lol

It's probably been mentioned in this thread before, but my god: fantasy football

I've gone to two bars recently (after a year and a half of avoiding social spaces), and both times was buttonholed by twentysomethings droning on about cryptocurrency. I realized that when that happens I feel the same type of excrutiatingly intense boredom as when people discuss fantasy football. I can't muster even the slightest interest.

fantasy football has a much lower carbon footprint, so would class as "dull" rather than "dull + evil"

I kind of envy the rotisserie league people’s knowledge of players across the league. With baseball I’m parochial - I’ve got my team, and I know their division rivals pretty well, and after that it starts getting hazy. But some fantasy people take it so far that the results of the games are basically meaningless for them. The narratives of actual teams and their fortunes fade into background noise. For me the teams are the whole point!

I'm always been asked to join the work's fantasy football league but I've spent years resisting getting sucked in to the maw of the English Premier League and that's not going to change now.

last time I was invited I carefully researched players who were being transferred out of the PL, and bought them before they were deleted from the available roster, managed to field a single team for the entire year and not get any points.

Well I have a strong interest in football, but listening to people explain who they started that week and how many points they earned? Meaningless.

It's just pokemon for adults

☑️

The new Bond film. Who should play Bond in the next Bond film. Any Bond film. "The books though, are so much better than the films." Bond.

I like some Bond films but, apart from that, OTM.

I like Michael Bond

I have never had to drive to a cemetery to find Darren Sproles.

Well who knows what the future holds?

Had no idea Darren sproled tbh.

not sure what's wrong with pokemon for adults, except for the CTE of course.

obese bears

I’m choosing to read that as a verdict on Pokémon for adults.
