Most of them have been me talking trash about Ivana behind her back so I hardly think it counts. I do it to her face all the time, sure, but almost never behind her back. I feel ill now.Quote:

I think the reception would be like a watered down version of the other six 'my life sucks, lol' threads that you've made - but now people feel like they can take the piss so it might just be even funnier.Quote:

And of all the young men in the Star Trek franchise, I never once noticed his cock sticking out in those tight jumpsuit trousers. Jake's and Nog's I did. I think that says everything.Quote:

I'm not going to google. I'll just assume Rex Harrison is what the 1970s did before David Beckham was invented.
60s actually :snooty:Quote:

It seems shit.
Please tell me you know who Audrey Hepburn is, at the very very least.Quote:

You don't have to be interested in it to know about it. Knowledge you're interested in is a hobby. Knowledge you're not interested in is intelligence.Quote:

I've always identified intelligence as a willingness to learn, regardless of interest, so it's kind of close to mine. One doesn't have to know these things already because it'd be a pity if intelligence depended too strongly on your ability to not forget something.Quote:

She admits she's got no interest in anything not immediately relevant to her life. It irritates the fuck out of me when anyone takes pride in not knowing something: 'oh, I don't know anything about popular culture and I don't own a TV'. Well congratulations fuckwit, you just removed a major source of information about what OTHER people are interested in and the world at large. You know, those entities who walk around and breathe and fart into the same air as you but who aren't you.
I'm feeling particularly scathing this morning :snooty:
You're being rather dense about this.Quote:

I have limited free-time, as does everyone even if their whole life is 'free-time'. I can't possibly know everything, even though it sometimes seems that way to the people I interact with on a regular basis.
So what I tend to do is learn about the things which interest me the most. Once I've learned about those, I'll move onto the things that interest me almost as much. Popular culture in the 60s, 70s and 80s is so far down the list that I really don't think I'll ever get the chance to learn about them. I've learned about some of it incidentally while not really meaning to and most of it strikes me as shit.
My opinion of what's shit and what's not shit is, naturally, subjective but I had assumed everyone with an ounce of enquiring within their mind would do a similar thing; interesting stuff first, not-so-interesting stuff afterwards.
Not really. For instance, when I go to a doctor's surgery I'll pick up a magazine and if it's say, a men's magazine I'll read it anyway. I don't give a flying fuck that a Wankel engine is really cool because it's triangular, or who Kim Kardashian is married to this week, but I just absorb this information from walking around with my eyes and ears open all day. In fact, I frequently choose to pick up books my friends have been reading or articles they're interested in because I figure it takes me out of my comfort zone. I even read newspapers that have different political stances to mine. It's about being a well-rounded individual instead of an intellectual narcissist who opens their eyes each morning and only want themselves reflected back at them.Quote:

Surely if you revisited the Doctors and had two magazines in front of you, one was FHM Motors and one was Bella's Summer Special on how to manipulate men into being pliant fuck-slaves, you'd pick up the latter.
If I've never heard of or experienced something, I'm open to it. I recently read about string theory which is so far out of my comfort zone that I actually had to re-read every single chapter once I'd finished them because I didn't properly understand it. I got on with it okay, in the end, I think and even managed to reference it on here a few times - but that's hardly the same thing as watching some Terry and June simply because there might be an episode where something funny happened.
Being discerning about the information you take in, which is what I try to do, isn't being an intellectual narcissist, it's utilising your spare time more efficiently.
Altho' I do like the sound of being an intellectual narcissist :eyebrows:
Fortunately I'm a really good speed reader so would easily be able to learn how to talk a man into being a pliant fuck slave (:w00t:), possibly with the the use of car-related conversation.Quote:

I don't have any great interest in the 70s but it gets referenced quite a lot in every day life, and I've picked up some things as a result. For instance, I don't know how you can have been brought up in the UK with British parents and avoid knowing who Dick Emery is, yet you somehow managed it. And how the fuck can you have never seen My Fair Lady?
Ffs.
How did you know that I don't know who Dick Emery is and that I've never seen My Fair Lady :balustrade:
We've discussed both these things before Memory Man :pinch:Quote:
