Stocks, Investing, Gambling, Bitcoin .etc
Look, I’m not a fucking broker or a hustler, okay? I don’t care that you keep running around telling me or others to go waste our time and money to put into markets that can be incredibly unpredictable. It is all about luck, chance and risk. Things most wouldn’t want to put themselves on the line over even if they were down next to nothing. They’d rather buy lottery tickets.
Getting married and having chikdren, aka, a “family”
The fact that “family values” are politicized and cast as the best, most important way to live is honestly fucked up when you think about it.
Why did we decide being het and having kids makes you a fucking hero?
I’m glad we live in an era now where people finally realized that they can just not have children and for it to become more optional.
Having a kid and a family is not what it always take to have a fulfilling and happy life. For people to think that’s all it takes, would be devaluing all of their gains and the people that have helped them along the way aka friends.
Whatever’s the current “big” issue in showbiz. I really couldn’t care less that ABC was photographed with DEF in GHI, possibly hinting a relationship collapse with JKL, or whatever it was that people are harping about with other people’s lives.
Celebrities and sports.
I understand doing sports, but watching others is as exciting as watching paint dry to me. Not to mention combining both as in cheering for a team of people I don’t know. I don’t get it.
Scandalous! Where can I hear more about this ABC, DEF, JKL love triangle?
Trigonometry
Having kids
Add getting married to that for me. I enjoy not being legally bound to another human
“Babe I really love you. Like REALLY! What could possibly make our relationship better? OH I KNOW! LET’S GET THE GOVERNMENT INVOLVED!!!”
You can get a deal on taxes and healthcare if you live in the US, it’s literally why my wife and I married.
We’re still happy like before and It’s been 19 years.
Ugh, yep, I’m far from alone in saying I’d really rather not have any
Whatever flash in the pan has “games” pissed off today.
They’re easily outraged by any perceived slight, easily demonized/lionized by the media, often incredibly misguided, entirely without consideration for the bigger picture, and usually have 0 long-term impact follow-through or apology when whatever they were upset about gets rectified.
Sums them up quite nicely. To include, a lot of them have a poor grasp in how the business is handled in the industry. They just think that whatever game that only like, 15 people remember will make “loads of money” if it only got a remaster. Like come on, we’ve seen mini-consoles released, we’ve seen what gets decided to be remade. It is all based on what the IP originally brought to the company in the first place.
Gamers have been awfully spoiled in the past 14 years that only gamers 20 or more years ago would have loved to dine into. So many sales. So many opportunities. So much choice.
But no, let’s throw all of that away because of a minor inconvenience or pretending to care about some game that they wouldn’t have liked anyways but pretend to now like because of some political issue.
Having kids. We have zero desire to have kids so everyone can just stop trying to convince us.
Sports. I’ve tried to care many times, but its just so boring and pointless.
Oh. My. God. Can fucking apps learn that when I say “block” and “less like this” I fucking mean it? Don’t show me fucking anything about baseball, soccer, tennis, basketball, and especially not American football. I AM NOT YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE.
Also, I have to block a large fraction of my social feeds at certain times of the year because all they talk about are sports.
I had a few years when the ad algorithms decided since I am in my 20’s surely I’m a parent, then just bombarded me with diaper ads no matter how much I blocked. I wonder if they found some tidbit of info about you that is common among sports fans.
I spent >10 years of my youth playing a sport competitively. I don’t think I ever watched a professional game to completion. Unlike pretty much all my teammates, I just could not have cared less.
Play the sport myself? Fun, sure! Watch someone else play? Uh, why?
I think it’s great that people enjoy watching sports. I dunno why but it just bored the hell out of me.
I’ll never understand letting the outcome of a game make or break my mood in the following days.
“Lost muh marriage”
“Lost muh job”
“Lost muh car”
“BUT AT LEAST THEM BEARS WON! WOOOOOOO!!!”
I don’t mind playing sports even if I suck at them, but watching them? Uggghhh.
Guns. I don’t give a single shit about them either way. I don’t have much interest in owning them. I don’t think a ban would be effective. I don’t think the US national argument about them is going to ever be resolved. Miss me with all that shit.
I think people are too dumb to realize places in the rurals must have them. Like in Alaska, it isn’t optional with those bears.
I’ve come across a black bear while hunting small game and was very close in dense brush. People that have never experienced that kind of interaction lack the relevant info to have a say. While at the same time, after moving to Los Angeles for a couple of decades, owning guns here is for people with mental issues. One law can not cover all situations; it is impossible to federate. It is used as a distraction topic to avoid legislating reasonably against the loopholes of the oligarchy. It is the same reason why the news cycle camps on an election long before it is a relevant issue; there is no pressure to create reasonable legislation that would stop the privateers.
You absolutely do not need a gun for black bears lol. If a situation can be handled with a loud noise, a gun is not required.
Grizzlies are obviously another story.
You try startling one from 10 feet away in a blind brake.
Easy, you just loudly proclaim: “I COME TO REASON!”
Guns should be as hard to get as cars. There ya go, I did it.
One law can not cover all situations
Not all, but most. The goal isn’t “banning guns”, it’s regulating them more strictly. If you want to get a gun, you should be mentally sound, know how to maintain it, secure it, and shoot it safely. It’s the same with cars in many places on this planet: you need to go through about 60-100 hours of training, prove you’re able to handle it, and know the theory around it. You can’t just show up to a car show, buy a car and ride off with it without a license.
Whether you want to protect yourself from bear, shoot at birds on your farm, feel safe in your home in the middle of the city, or collect guns to never shoot them, you still must have a license to own it.
I still do not give a single fuck.

Any and all trends. The more people say I should care, the less I do.
Team sports and politics. Miss me with that shit. Its all so cult-y.
Trans stuff. Before you get the torches and pitchforks, I have no problem with them. I believe they deserve equality, and I don’t believe in spreading hate their way. I’m not Trans, so I don’t have a horse in this race, nor do I desire one. It doesn’t appeal to me, it doesn’t interest me in the slightest. I have my own concerns (keeping my house, paying my bills, keeping my family safe) and they have theirs, I guess is what I’m saying. If I see a Trans person get mistreated, I’ll stick up for them, just like I’d do for anyone, but I’m not interested in it. They are no different from me, we are all people. I think constantly bringing it up to people all the time is more of a disservice.
I think the silent majority feels like this.
“Eh, not my cup of tea, but you do you”
but you do you
That’s what they’re fighting for lol
I think constantly bringing it up to people all the time is more of a disservice.
The trans community is tiny, I’m an almost 50 year old trans woman transitioned over 20 years ago. The reason we have the rights we do is because it’s “brought up all the time”. When I transitioned, it was rarely brought up, this was because most people were scared of the social and economic consequences of doing so. This is all changing because we talk about it rather than be quiet and let people keep us down. I’d imagine even you might have more negative views of trans people if the only exposure you had was from talk shows promoting us as freaks, this is how it was before.
Other than that, your attitude is fine, not everyone needs to be interested.
You are more than welcome to think I “might have more negative views of Trans people”. You’re wrong, but it is what it is.
The beach, I couldn’t give less of a bother about going to lay on some burning sand, occasionally dipping my toes in some freezing fish piss water, and getting pelted in the face with sand as a bunch of kids run by kicking up every speck of sand they touch while their parents are getting shitfaced and blasting music no one else wants to hear.
Put me in a secluded lake in the woods with some shade near by and I’m all in though. I guess more specifically my issue is with the people at the beach, but still.
Actually swimming in the ocean is a pretty unique experience, but it does kind of require you to be a strong swimmer.
It definitely was, at about 8 yrs old I got caught in a rip tide (only my toes/foot it felt like) got drawn out in seconds and took minutes to return, scary as hell when you can’t reach the surface or even know where it is. Side note; I couldn’t float at the surface like everyone else, I was too skinny and floated about 2" below the surface
Are you Bill Hicks?
Me too. And I live in NZ where there’s bloody beaches everywhere. Can’t move for beaches
Sounds like you need to find a less popular beach
Or go earlier in the day. At least in my neck of the woods.
Religion.
You’re all like Star Wars fans to me.
Star Wars fans that murder people for disrespecting Yoda.
It’s a sickness.
Killing in the name of a man who said “blessed are the peace makers”. You have to laugh, or else you’ll cry.
I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ. -Mahatma Gandhi
A big part is groups selling Yoda plushies to star wars fans, telling those fans to kill people buying bb8 plushies so they don’t loose out on sales. Many (most?) of those deaths are about money and power
Right there with you in stocks and Bitcoin. Computers and coding not far behind. I sound like a luddite but I have no reason to be interested in this stuff.
I also don’t get a shit about pop culture icons or influencers.
It’s nice under this rock, where I live. Nematodes are great company
Subscription music services.
Same with tv/movie streaming providers
