Things You Just Don't Care About

Man City's treble

"I don’t care about the show, I’m tired of it taking up space everywhere, and I especially resent the weird coercion that happens around these shows, like one must care about them to care about contemporary culture or something. That’s hogwash. I’ll watch my dumb comedy shows from four seasons ago and whatever other bullshit I’m on at the moment."

i feel this way. but that's just age. it happens to the best of us. it is true that hollywood is a dire pit of horrible and the rest of the world is in some sort of insane renaissance of film and t.v.-making though. i still haven't seen midsommar and everythingeverywhere because i am a child and hate when people tell me i have to see something. i am happy with castle and chopped reruns and all the other dumb stuff i rot my brain with. i thought that was supposed to be the cool thing about the internet and streaming. doesn't matter when you watch something. YES i will watch the last of us eventually leave me alone! you know? i finally watched martyrs. i waited 15 years.

(succession talk reminds me of people raving about the west wing and me hating the west wing. but i didn't hate succession. i watched the first two seasons. feel like that was enough. unperson brings up deadwood and i have never made it all the way through. for the record, i hated nypd blue. bochco/milch were no homicide/wire. they were corny as fuck. like M.A.S.H. was their fave t.v. show or something. hill street blues totally reminded me of M.A.S.H. when it was on t.v. i am a huge fan of Hell On Wheels though. i might actually re-watch the whole thing.)

Good conservatives.

agreed, frankly I think all of the people that are being talked about there should be blasted into the sun.

Which Indiana Jones movie men, in particular, say is absolutely the worst one

You still have time to write "screwball comedies."

me neither Eric!

figma. about 50% of the tweets i see are about figma.

(the other half are lists of 15 ways to earn dollarbucks using chatgpt, all of which seem to have been written by chatgpt and are devoid of content)

i've managed to not care about anything T-Swift-related and its not because i wish her any ill will or have any general disregard for her career, fame, or happiness. And it's not because I'm not interested in pop fandom, predatory entertainment companies, or commerce and art in America. I just don't care.

And scott seward's gonna not care care care care and the haters gonna hate hate hate hate and Taylor's gonna shake shake shake, shake it off

Shake Scott off

Is that a Taylor Swift song or something?

i did watch her long-ass version of the song about jake the snake TWICE! (man, the pandemic was really long...)

Meghan & Harry's failed podcast

I still don't believe that people thought Nelson Mandela died in the early 90s.

i've yet to meet one person who thinks this. maybe the 'mandela effect' is based on it's own premise.

I dug into the Sinbad - Shazaam thing, convinced this was overblown as a mistaken shared belief, but I found hundreds of people on Twitter aggressively arguing WITH SINBAD that he was in this movie and someone was covering it up.

About eight people linked to the same "proof", a CollegeHumor video that purported to find the lost tape, none of them realizing it was a comedy video making fun of them

An April Fool's joke, at that

Most Mandela-Effect stuff is just people being wrong. The more suggestible you are, the more likely you are to nod in agreement when someone in your social orbit with a strong personality says something. They're just wrong, but they say it with conviction so you don't question it.

People were wrong about stuff way before it had a meme-y name.

THAT SAID, I am also susceptible to harboring wistful fantasies about alternate universes. We will never be able to completely prove a negative, so the information landscape would seem to permit speculation. Perhaps some of us accidentally slipped through the veil from a universe where things are slightly different.

Walked past a new dispensary in my neighborhood yesterday, the first thought that popped into my head was "yeah, i don't care"

there was a time when my life revolved around weed to an alarming extent, glad it's legal and all, just not interested.

The High/Long/Triple Jump events in athletics.

Those are all good, the shot putt is probably the dullest event

Walked past a new dispensary in my neighborhood yesterday... "yeah, i don't care"

Same - as I've said elsewhere, most of these dispensaries look so uninviting, like the Verizon store next to a Starbucks.. I guess they wanted to 'go legit' but I just don't care anymore

There are at least three weed dispensaries in my town, which has fewer than 5000 people.

i think the shot put is weird and fascinating tbh

my recommendation is to get high from a product sold by your local weed dispensary and then watch guys doing shot put online

Shot put is definitely the most fun to try

Hammer throw > shot put

Tossing the caber

Javelin seems best for causing death/mayhem, pole vault just hurts the participants when the pole breaks

I like all field events, they’re delightfully weird.

Javelin is just a fancy form of lawn darts

javelin and pole vault are both equally dissatisfying to try vs what you might imagine having watched them

triple jump otoh always fun

but i don't own a cell phone. so it makes sense that i wouldn't care.

People with cellphones don't care either.

it took me years to realize that i could use instagram on my laptop. i thought it was just for phones.

It was, for quite awhile!

Who Kylian Mbappe plays for.

So obvious it's hardly worth mentioning but Nigel Farage's bank account or lack of one.

amazing we have to hear about that for the rest of recorded time, he even wangled an apology out of the hapless BBC, which naturally has given the non-story extra legs

still don't care about Barbie/Oppenheimer and now add Lizzo to the heap of things going on right now that I do not care about.

When people put up Christmas lights

Shoot on sight anyone wearing sandals and socks

Sounds like you care a lot

My wife has strong opinions about when Christmas lights should come down.

Some of our neighbors' are still up from December. I'll accept that trade-off for not living in an HOA. In the past, my wife has tried to blur the lines by putting up strings of lights for other holidays - red for Valentine's, green for spring, red white and blue for the 4th, orange for Halloween.

i definitely don't care about robbie robertson's huge impact on music. or The Band. i'm pretty sure that impact resulted in really bad beer commercial music and the late-blooming beer commercial music of steve winwood not to mention the 80s beer commercial guitar of robbie robertson. it was a revolution. it was...woodstock!
