disinterest

The answer is usually fear or boredom/disinterest. If it's fear, great, you're in a good place.

Complete disinterest. I did my best to think of porn and at least play along, but part of me felt that was more rude than just failing to climax so I sat back and let my partner enjoy her share.

Her complacency becomes your disinterest. And on and on.

I have speculated that if I come across like an alpha female it is due in part to having a yawning disinterest in pecking order, not because I am trying to be at the top of the heap. Anyway, have an upvote.

I'd call it a general disinterest. It's the same kind of disinterest that follows bootstrapped businesses or any business that chooses to make money instead of burning it.

Then ask yourself if you are bothered at all by the disinterest of the people you showed your work to. If you are indeed bothered, it means that your intuitive/emotional brain is telling you that your work is not good enough and that you should go back to step 1.

Again, that implies a level of disinterest in the outcome that demonstrably fails to model the real actions of the real government.

Government blunt weapons plus corporate disinterest are in aggregate bad for everyone.

People who can fake disinterest have the advantage over those with genuine neediness. Yet, I would think that honesty and sincerity are key attributes of mates and employees.

The way Marco talks about David's disinterest in money, and his singular obsession with Tumblr, made me think he wouldn't even consider selling it to someone else. I'd be curious to hear his reasons for selling, as oppose to doing a strategic investment like Facebook did with Microsoft at one point.

These children will be unintended or unwanted and may not be cared for either through disinterest or lack of ability to provide for them. A child who grows up in that sort of circumstance is not kept safe, may succumb to disease, may spread disease, will not be educated, and will have difficulty providing for themselves.

And for those that notice but are too shy to kick up a fuss, there is always more subtle signalling that can be used: tilt your body away from the aggressor, go quiet and start a conversation with somebody outside the group - disinterest, and "awkwardness" can be powerful. * * *\n\nGoing slightly off-topic here just to say something that I care about.

You could learn that elsewhere, but if you care about scientific progress, my experience is that few people without a science degree ever get around to developing a rigorous scientific education, whether out of disinterest, lack of time, or whatever other reason. Lots of people plan to one day work through some textbooks, but most people don't.

In "keeping the web open", it is such a low hanging fruit I simply don't understand the complete disinterest behind Persona - is Mozilla just waiting to see if a protocol with a cuter name comes along?

I wonder if my disinterest in Quora is common among developers outside of SV? If I, a tech savvy developer at a startup, don't find the idea of Quora particularly interesting, why would Average Joe be interested in joining the community?

Frankly, no event in Norwegian politics in the last 30 years have scared me more than how that was treated: Whether or not Dagbladet's claims were true or not, it demonstrated either a scary ability of the establishment to shut down any kind of real journalism around it, or a scary level of apathy and disinterest. I'm not sure which is worse.

While federal criminal cases are technically brought on behalf of the government, in many cases the charges are dropped when the victim expresses disinterest in having the individual prosecuted. In this case, they were attempting to lock someone up for decades in a case where the alleged victims didn't even want the perpetrator prosecuted.

This implies no dislike of or prejudice against India, merely disinterest. He doesn't in any way shape or form say that the people posting about such topics shouldn't be on the site, and his proposed rememedy - being able to block such topics, is clearly intended to allow him to co-exist on a site containing many such people and to still interact with those people about topics that do interest him.

If I could strongly express a disinterest in every fictitious Facebook picture / iPhone message conversation, and that served as a quality indicator of people whose opinions I don't respect, that would be beautiful.

In that demonstration, the modern objections to eugenic ideas find their origins and their vehemence -- this latter, in particular, perhaps all the more telling in a society whose disinterest in the hard-won lessons of history seems to grow by leaps and bounds. Consider, too, that the leading exponents of eugenics in decades past were every bit the equal of anyone today in their conviction that they were the intelligent and enlightened wave of the future, and perhaps you may find it easier to understand how your "ghost from the past" could -- given enough arrogant confidence that we know enough not to repeat past mistakes but may this time rely upon ourselves to do it right -- turn out a vicious revenant after all.
