You know, one of those things that never quite clicks for you, even though it does for others.
For me, it’s reality TV and influencer culture. I don’t understand the appeal at all. The manufactured drama, the constant self-branding, the sense of intimacy that tries to be genuine when it clearly isn’t. And yet these things seem to capture a significant amount of attention, which tells me they’re hitting some mark that I’m completely missing, and I’m okay with that. To me, it all feels a bit ridiculous.
What’s something that just never made sense to you?

There are a large number of things that don’t make sense to me but I’ll only address one for now. Jealousy. I just don’t get it. Especially jealousy of another’s “station” in life. I have never been jealous of another person’s possessions or the amount of money they have. It just doesn’t bother me. I will, however, occasionally tell someone that I’m jealous of the new doohicky that they recently acquired just to let them feel happy about it.
Jealousy in relationships doesn’t make sense to me either.
Yeah, I don’t get the pull of reality shows about bachelors meeting bachelorettes. Young people looking for love doesn’t draw my attention. I also don’t want to see naked people trying to survive in the wild outdoors. However, I love to hear Dr. Nowzaradan speak to overweight people who keep cheating on their diet. He sounds like a hamster when he talks. Wanting to lose some weight, myself, I like to watch what the overweight people eat. I figure it is time to lose a few lbs. before I need a bell to warn people when I am backing up. I watch My 600 Lb. Life, 1000 lb. Sisters, and 1000 lb. Friends. I like to watch Ghost Hunters and Ghost shows. I also watch normal shows like Ancient Aliens. So, some reality shows will entertain me. I don’t watch sitcoms on the lower channels. I like to watch C-Span to see how the Senate and Congress votes on bills. When it comes to reality shows, you can’t beat C-Span.
I cannot understand why the man across the street will shoot his gun into the sky on New Years Eve and the 4th of July. When a gun is fired into the sky, that bullet has to come down somewhere. It could kill someone. It is not funny, but the man across the street will laugh about it. Immortal Pirate tries to make him stop, but suddenly he doesn’t understand English. He just laughs and fires the gun again. I don’t understand the man. When buying a gun, there is a Gun Safety test and class to teach everything about gun safety. Obviously, this man didn’t learn anything about gun safety.
Well, ever since I had prostate cancer and had my prostate removed…I just don’t get erect.
I’m not being funny here; this is a serious subject that men over 40 should pay attention to. Get checked by a qualified urologist that you trust. Prostate cancer SUCKS…It sucks all of the joy out of sex. It robs you of your energy, vitality, and stamina. Prostate cancer is testosterone driven and following your surgery you have to take injections to suppress your testosterone, which in turn causes you to gain weight.
I just don’t get why we don’t let a mathematician, an engineer, and a social worker run things. I don’t get why we let so many career politicians and attorneys run things. A mathematician could solve the housing crises, poverty, the debt crisis and get everyone a universal basic income.
I don’t understand the question because I understand everyyyyyyyything!
