Who gives a f^&%?

January 13 2015

I just read a very amusing article on the "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck". Google and ye shall find (probably via Reddit). Aside from being fucking hilarious, it raises some interesting topics. I personally mastered the art many years ago, after years dedicated to social causes that were very worthy but that were fucking with my head and health. Not giving a fuck about the less important things, or about things are royally fucked, is a key part of my philosophy and it's allowed me to be happy through good times and bad for a long time now. I still think and care about the bigger issues, but the worry and stress just washes over as I do my little bit to fuck with the machine where I can. So what do you all give a fuck about, what do you not give a fuck about, and what should you try not to give a fuck about? Each of us only has so many fuck's to give, so use them wisely.

    About what other people think of me. I should give one about my future, but I believe in fate I try to give one about my finances, little though they may be, but at the end of the day health and happiness are more important.

    I don't give a fuck about. I turned off the tv and the bad news, I don't need to know it and it just makes me feel cynical about the world and people in general.

    Quoting 'ralf74' I don't give a fuck about. I turned off the tv and the bad news, I don't need to know it and it just makes me feel cynical about the world and people in general. I did this many years ago and have been much better for it. I still skim the headlines online as otherwise I felt a bit left out, but only read the more in depth articles where I think I might learn something or there's something I need to know. I never read about or watch any of the many tragedies or mishaps that dominate the mainstream news. Television news is truly pointless and depressing. I've encouraged a few others to do the same thing, and the results are always positive.

    Quoting 'ruby_blossum' "Every time you feel yourselfbeing pulled into other people'sdrama.....repeat these words...... Not my Circus Not my Monkeys" It may not be my argument, my drama but if I see a friend in need of support I will offer whatever I can to help them.That may be to help them see that perhaps they are a little skewed in what they see is righteousor it may be that yes, I believe they are right and I can offer my voice to balance out some injustice being dealt to them.That doesn't mean that I am always right and if I go down with them, at least I stood up for what I believe is worth "giving a FUCK "about. My friends. I see a grave injustice on the street, for example a woman being physically abused on the street, I could not repeat those words you wrote. I would have to help or I could not live with myself. It doesn't always mean getting physically involved but some sort of support or call for help. Would you be the one to turn your back and walk away? Could you say "I don't give a FUCK?" When I first saw the topic, I thought I don't give a fuck about that one. I'll have a quick skim through.Saw that verse and realised "That is something I really do give a fuck about!" Thank you for making me realise that!

    give a fuck about things I can't control. The old serenity prayer (although I'm not religious) has it down: Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things and can, and the wisdom to know the differences. Consequently I don't watch news or current affairs shows (that's also because I don't like being told what to think), but as per Annie's example, I will help friends and the people around me if I can. - Posted from rhpmobile

    When I made my little post, I was in the mindset of rhp forums and what I give a fuck about. Let me tell you a little secret, some time ago I was quite passionate about things said in the forums and would stand up for the perceived little guy (male or female) the downtrodden, the mis-understood, the emotionally fragile. More often than not, I would receive a big pile of abuse and shite dropped upon me. It finally dawned on me, I dont know these people (well most of them) why should I take all this crap on their behalf,Like a light bulb moment......it came to me, dont give a fuck anymore So when I saw that little Polish proverb...it struck a cord. Now, real life....yes, there are Circuses and Monkeys I do give a fuck about.

    About many things that the media try to get us believe, I do give a fuck about needless hurt and pain inflicted on kids, women, pets and many others . I also try to give my best fuck when striped naked and given a female to give the fuck to . But I don't give a flying fuck about what people say about me. - Posted from rhpmobile

    I create a lot of software, part of the process is the license agreements, that of third part stuff that I use and stuff that I release onto the open market. Unless there is a commercial edge to the software I always release it with a WTFPL as the public license. Its clear, without ambiguity and basically says, I don't give a fuck what you do with the software or source, you can do what ever the fuck you want with it. I also if possible only use third party source code if it has that licence. Copyright is a fucken mind field of catches, clauses, lawyers, and middle men. WTFPL is a legit public license for those that really don't give a fuck.

    It appears to others that I don’t give a fuck (I don’t correct them on that point), but that’s not what’s going on at all. I hold issues that concern me in a mental jar, to be accessed again at a later date. So while I really don’t give a fuck about those issues over an indeterminate period, I likely get back to them at a later date -- or not. Just like jars in a kitchen cupboard, such issues tend to have a natural attrition rate.

    Understand the context thing, no problem. For me, I apply my fucks everywhere. I cant differentiate between walking down the street or being online,its all real life. Its real life having this discussion right here. The same principals apply, a keyboard should not make any difference. If I see an unjust, I like to offer support if they are in need and there is something I can do. And if people want to put shit on me for it, I don't give a fuck. So far I have 1 give a fuck + 2 don't give a fucks. Simon, how many are we allowed? na, second thoughts don't worry, make that 3 dont give a fucks Annie. Xx

    things are not worth fucking about with, and others are such a delight to fuck with. When a fucking fuckwitz fucked with me and I gave a fuck I got sick......so my Doc said give up the job or think about what you can do about this fuck. So I did.....I don't give a fuck anymore about fuck I can't control or people who put up fucking wall's just to fuck with you and fucking with my head............. stopped. Now I see the fucking light, and fucking is sooooooooooooooo wonderful when done with respect to each other.

    Subtle art is lost on most, actually even the jack hammer method, who fucken cares approach does not seem to bring understanding, infuriating rather than placating. I turn my back clear I would have thought that I do not give a fuck, but not giving a fuck is a mind fuck for those that want your mind in step with theirs. So I give the subtle art of giving a huge fucken big deal fucken fuck. Then suddenly they wish you did not give a fuck. This is very useful with the cry wolf types. If you dont give a fuck, they can not get the attention desired and it escalates with bigger wolfs, now what a whole a fucken wolf pack, If you show appropriate concern, then you are being manipulated, pandering to the whims of others, what a drag. But give a huge show, a fucken FUCK wolves!, where's my shot gun, then start painting anything that moves with lead. They seldom cry wolf again. It takes the least effort, and has the best results, while the whole time you are giving not the slightest flying fuck, and you can get back to important things you do give a fuck about, like stuffing endangered wolves.

    But I don't give a fuck and I'll bang on about what I don't give a fuck, flying or otherwise, about. Your opinion of me - unless you are a friend and I do something really stupid to upset you - then I give a fuck so please tell me and I can apologise for being an insensitive idiot. Stereotypes and pigeon-holes - I don't give a fuck about the stereotypes and pigeon holes others try to squeeze me into. I know I am fucking unique and I celebrate that. I do give a fuck about a lot of things like social injustice, violence against women and children, violence in the community but I can't give a fuck 24/7 as that gets really tiring and I end up crazy as fuck. I do what I can when I can about the issues I give a fuck about. I give a fuck about my family and friends. I give a fuck about self-expression. I don't give a fuck if there is a limit on the amount of fucks you can give. I don't think I'll ever stop giving a fuck about the big issues, like violence including war, racism, discrimination. Its just not in my nature not to give a fuck about these issues. Thank you for the fucking opportunity to let it all fucking hang out.

    I think the world would be a much better place if people gave more of a fuck about things. Society has turned too selfish and self absorbed, and its now somewhat of a 'cool' thing to just turn around and say something like "oh, look at all the fucks I don't give", rather than try to help, improve, understand, or fix situations/others/yourself. It's kinda sad... And I would care about what any of you think of my different outlook post right here, but the fucks I don't give outweigh the fucks I do give by exactly 100%.
