TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

Have you ever, EVER heard someone say "that's interesting", and didn't suspect they were lying through their fucking teeth?  Would someone who was actually interested in something say that?

I do. I place emphasis on each syllable too, though I usually skip the "That's" part.

Yes.  Usually seconds before something absolutely crucial failed catastrophically.

I have said it.  I usually follow it up with something though, to be fair.  I only say it to show I'm actually listening and thinking, while figuring out the follow-up.

I've said it and meant it.  As Cain said, I usually follow up afterward with more.

As a side note, thatsinteresting.com is not very interesting at all.

You know, I've never believed any of the shitsacks that ever said "that's interesting".

Especially the smarmy-ass little pricks from collection agencies that look you up on facebook and go "oh, I see you're a (insert occupation that's way more interesting than a claims stooge here), that must be really interesting!"

Sorry, mongoloid.

That's the kind of stuff that you thought was boring in high school when you were doing all kinds of drugs, drinking, or playing sports.

Now you're a claims stooge.

or a used car salesman.

or a real estate agent.

YOU STILL DON'T FIND IT INTERESTING AND DON'T FUCKING LIE TO ME IN AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE ME THINK WE'RE FRIENDS FROM WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY BACK!

Not gonna happen, not ever.

Now go back to your cubicle land and cry yourself back to la-la-land.

Is that a problem?  Sounds like me in the afternoon meeting.

This thread makes me realize that I'm guilty of using the phrase "that's interesting" both genuinely and as an alternative to nodding and going, "uh-huh." It must confuse the hell out of anyone trying to talk to me.

Heh, likewise.

But I like to think that I say it honestly often enough that I can still use it as a scapegoat when I just wanna say "uh-huh."

Also, I use "oh wow" and "that's bizarre" a lot in place of "uh-huh."
