Interesting how a lot of really big twits say "interesting" when they mean "stupid", as if obfuscating what they really mean makes them sound smarter.

And by interesting, I mean annoying as fuck.

"May you live in interesting times" will never sound the same to me again.

"He's an interesting person."
"That's an interesting career choice."
"I hope to discover something at least mildly interesting while on my studies of various interesting historical figures".

From now on I'm gonna include "interesting" in every sentence I say to people.

P.S. This probably means if someone ever told you did something "uniquely" or had a "unique" idea, there was some serious malice behind it.

"Interesting" is one of my go to words for when I don't know how to formulate a compliment about something yet I can't say anything negative.

"What did you think about that in-depth historical assignment requiring an 800 page essay detailing the mentality of Vlad the Impaler when compared to a cup of coffee that was 100% of your grade this semester and would make or break you in an instant?"

"Oh, it was interesting."

I think it's less about being a malicious backhanded comment and more about just not knowing what else to say. Heck, sometimes stuff might be geniunely interesting, y'know?

The point was that R vs D means nothing but Red vs Blue, but oh well.

Not sure what exactly what was a "dive" at the forumite, unless we all have a sensitivity of the same characteristics of brittle glass.

"Interesting" how easy it to look for and think you've discovered some sort of contention.  ;)

It seems the "Fortress" carries over here as well.

Not sure how asking if he was American meant anything more than a question. Of course, there are dozens of ways to make anything into an issue.

Every issue is a political issue.
Every issue must be made into a political issue.
Every issue must be used.

Alright, to make you happy, I'll quote his post (although I'm not sure why you thiught I was talking to one person, I guess I should have quoted more) and be sure to address every point.

;)  <------  That emoticon must be part of a strategy!!! Grrrrr

Yeah, please GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE STUPID THREAD THIS THREAD IS NOT FOR POLITICAL ISSUES.

If you REALLY want to go on about this make another thread. Don't consider this as a personal attack, but I'm getting really annoyed that this thread is being derailed into a political thread.

Once again, you attack the argument instead of addressing it. Forget this. I don't need to say anything more.

I thought I just said I was going to quoye his post and make sure to adress every point.

:/  >_>

And yeah, sorry, this doesn't belong in this thread, I'll do that over in one of the politics threads.

This? This right here is why I avoid discussing politics online. I don't see much point in continuing this non-debate in another thread, but I will leave one thing: Yes, I am American, though I don't see why that's particularly relevant.

I too am an American. Curious that there are people from a large, populous, technologically advanced country on the internet in such quantities. I haven't seen anything from before this page though, so I have no idea what we were talking about.

Today, my friend got mad at me. I asked him a question, and IN THE MIDDLE OF ME SPEAKING, he interrupts and starts trying to tell me some shit about a game we were playing. I repeat my question, then again, louder, and finally one more time, completely drowning him out. He gets all defensive, but the fact of the matter is he does his little 'Oh that's nice but we should listen to me talk now' thing all the time. He has no right to be angry about it. Narcissistic people are a pet peeve of mine, I guess.

Thanks for the spit-take. I read that four times over before I processed it properly.
