Things You Just Don't Care About

1. What other people are ordering at the restaurant. I don't care.

2. Waving my hands in the air.

3. Care Bears (there is an internet community for this, right?)

4. The Jimmy Saville thing that's going on at the moment. I don't care, sorry.

Sport. Got stuck at one of 2 tables people sat at from my course on Monday night and the rest of the table proceeded to talk about hurling.
I sat there thinking it was rude to leave, for several minutes, then got up and moved to other table and instantly found conversation interesting.

Does mean I'm less fit than I should be probably though. Used to dance quite frequently until I moved too far out of town to get home easily from wahtever clubs

I think I have a thing in my brain that just tunes out sport talk the moment it happens. If sport comes up in conversation or on telly all I hear is "blahblahblahblah" MAybe if I didn't have this handy cerebral device I might learn something, but sadly it's there to stay.

Posted elsewhere about this, but the cost for SLS/Artemis could fund an entire fleet of robots orbiting every planet in the solar system, a couple of asteroids, and still have money leftover to fund a couple of space telescopes (and hire someone like me to be part of the staff)

just the launch cost two billion dollars... not counting the rocket, the mission, etc... just the launch itself

Two billion that wasn't spent on bombs or kidnappings. Sounds good to me.

Robotic exploration of the solar system is the only honorable form of space exploration

Laufey, despite the internet insisting I care about her new music video every time I log on

I don't really care if Geese are some kind of industry plant or the product of tweaked algorithms

about time someone stepped up!

not sure whether I care less about Geese or about Geese being an industry plant

must be tough for their fans, enjoying their music (for some reason) but suddenly worrying that they are wrong to enjoy their music (for some reason)

Timothée Chalamet’s views on opera & ballet

Actors' views on anything at all, other than - possibly - the craft of acting.

I can't say I 'don't care' about that entire avenue of discourse, because I just feel this exhausted feeling: why can't a good band that is having their glow-up moment just be enjoyed without fine-tooth combing the backstory of their ascent? (See also AdP, who I've read some castigating discourse from Quebec jammers who are skeptical of their sudden popularity). I like when good music gets popular, feels nice and fills me with optimism, feels good for a moment for me to feel aligned in-terms-of-taste with a broader slice of humanity (instead of feeling ambivalent/non-plussed by an inexplicably popular new act from whose work I derive no personal joy). The investigations feel, from where I'm sitting, that they are not pursued out of any sense of justice or public interest, but are intrusive and motivated by a bitterness that certain individuals feel when confronted with the sudden successes of others

Celebrities in general. I like plenty of famous actors/musicians/etc but have never had any inclination to know their opinions on things or how they live their lives or how they managed to become famous, I just like their work.

I care nothing about who wins the Grammy for Best New Performer. What does that even mean?

Donald Trump's opinions of Keir Starmer, the UK, NATO etc etc

Justice for Milli Vanilli xp

Boards of Canada promo posters. I dearly love BoC and their aesthetics, and would blind buy a hypothetical new album, but at this point I can’t muster enthusiasm around a marketing campaign for just about anything, much less one designed to lure me in through esoteric hints and speculation. If news of a new BoC album doesn’t excite me, I don’t think I could any album by any artist can, but I suppose that’s just where I’m at.

it's funny that before I started on antidepressants, the list of things I didn't care about was basically everything. or more like, I cared about everything, but the non-stop anxiety meant that the caring was like a wall of noise I had to block out. I used to watch the saddest things I could, just to try to wring some feelings out of myself. it's the cliche that these pills put you in a level, unemotional state, but I've found completely the opposite, I can have feelings now, like "happy" or "sad" and they are connected to things that happen in ways I can comprehend, this has been revelatory because I do not remember ever being able to grasp why I'm feeling a particular emotion, and if something upsets me I can deal with it rather than it overwhelming me. I have wondered when reading this thread, do people really not care or are they depressed? if the latter then fine, seems like a natural reaction to the world tbh, but I just feel like it's worth thinking about.

anyway, I don't care about The Masked Dancer.

Whether algorithms got Trump elected, or made a band named Geese popular

xp hey it's nice to hear your antidepressants are improving your experience.

Geese (not geese, though, they're cool)

I find geese to be annoying pests that shit all over the park, but the goslings are cute for a week or two before they enter the awkward stage

There's a giant bird's nest - I mean giant; it's the size of a monster truck tire - on top of a telephone pole on a highway near me. In past years it's been populated by bald eagles, but they're not there this year and a goose has taken it over. I see it sitting up there when I drive by and it makes me laugh every time.

that's awesome. There's a giant messy osprey nest on the way to a bridge that I use sometimes, over San Francisco Bay... the parents have been there the last couple times I went by

Geese, Ryan Gosling, gooses, I'm over them all

what about ganders

unless you're takin' gander at something, I've no time

Go Tell Aunt Rhody

Everyone else loves Ned Flanders

Measuring popularity of bands; which bands are popular; having opinions on popular bands … I am old and no longer work in a music industry adjacent job.

It was legit tiring to have to care about these things!

tbf it's a lovely throwback to things i didn't care about decades ago

honestly wonder how many times i must have to not care about lena dunham

at least she’s not a guy, i suppose

imagine how insufferable *that* would be

they should do another show like girls

but it’s guys

There are no less than THREE articles that are Dunham-adjacent in the Times today. She must be paying a PR firm a ton of bucks

She has a book out. Book PR campaigns only last a week, so don't worry, it'll be over soon.

I only saw one headline about Adam Driver being an asshole to her on Girls, which was unsurprising.

the pr firm pays for a bunch of phony letterboxd accounts praising her work she's such a fake.

college rankings

need a wikipedia category for 'people who have written multiple memoirs before the age of 40'

she doesn't have to pay anyone for PR at this point, outlets know she's a lightning rod for stupid arguments on the internet

It’s funny that henry s mentioned college rankings, because I literally graduated in the same college class as Lena, and have some insights into what makes her and her family tick. They definitely use PR firms!!!

I'm about as algorithmically Dunham-free as you can get and she still got into my timelines several times.

I liked Tiny Furniture and Girls but I've had enough, please go away Lena

^^^

Same here. Loved Girls and I avoid Lena content diligently.

She was convincing in her role as a Manson family member

Geese Howard

Charles III, welcome to the resistance!

deeply pathetic

Mike Vrabel's affair

nah, that's funny as hell

love to hear about leaders of men who cherish their families and 'accountability' spend one day in counseling to fix their marriages
