definition = muscle = lifting heavy weights. All of the most "toned" women I know look that way because they lift weights, either barbell or dumbbells. I suppose you can get a certain amount of definition by doing aerobic/body weight stuff, but that would also require a very, very good diet in...

This is spot on. I've got a good friend, and both he and his wife make 6 figure salaries. They've got a beautiful house in a great location which currently has a fully finished basement and 2 bedrooms sitting unused. They're talking about buying a $500,000 - $600,000 house in the next few...

As much as I'd like to condemn SaidBetterThan, I really can't. Prices for housing are so insanely fucked up in this area (VA/DC/MD) that I can't realistically see myself buying a house in a safe area without taking advantage of some kind of program like that. The difference between salaries and...

Sugarless Candy? Anyone who buys sugarless candy deserves intestinal distress.

Yes, technically all schools are "for profit". However, most traditional schools do more than simply make a profit, such as performing research, developing new technologies, and conducting studies in whichever fields they happen to specialize in. The "for profit" schools (read: Strayer, Kaplan...

OKC is free, right? I'm curious if he'd have had the same results on one of the expensive pay sites like Match or eHarmony. In my experience with OKC and PoF, both sites are largely infested by degenerate scum of both sexes.

Every colleague I have who has a "degree" from places like University of Phoenix, Kaplan, etc., write shit like "could of" or "should have did" in their professional writing. I don't know if they're just idiots or what, but I know during my first degree at a real college if I had written that...

He should just put on those sweet Beat headphones of his so he can hear what he wants and avoid getting flustered by the crazy fans.

I used to think people trashed resumes with shit like University of Phoenix on them. However, in my current job I've seen hundreds of resumes of people working on government contracts and the amount of diploma mills listed on them is staggering. All of these positions are IT/tech related, so...

SaidBetterThan confirmed Don Corleone. What government program allows you to purchase that house for $138,000?

I don't know what you're talking about.

I think a lot of it is what you're used to. I grew up in a townhouse and in the area I live there are probably more townhouses than detached. Not to mention some of the townhouses are insanely nice. Someone mentioned the thick walls between townhouses, and that's definitely true for most...

Big Bang Theory can be enjoyed piecemeal. You don't need to know the characters or situations to enjoy an episode. If you pick up a random episode of Community it won't be funny at all unless you've seen the rest of them. I like Big Bang Theory, just as I like Community. I don't see why they...

Need some gratuitous Missendei nudity this season.

My sister eats all steak well done and slathered in ketchup.

I've come to realize that the most annoying people in the world are strict Paleo Crossfitters, because they have TWO things to tell you about all. the. time.

I wish they'd do a crossover episode where Oliver Queen shows up and kills everyone on the plane.

Same exact story with my and my younger sister. I can still remember sitting at the dinner table 3 hours after dinner in front of a plate of shitty "Chicken Tonight! Sweet & Sour Chicken" that my mother slopped together. A few years later my sister comes along and she gets meals made specially...

I don't even...wow.

I used to make pasta 3 - 4 times a week at home, usually an entire box and a full jar of sauce at a time for a single meal. It was hard to give up at first, but now it's been over a year and a half since I made pasta at home and I can honestly say I don't miss it. I still occasionally order...

It's much more likely that the Mexicans cooking your steak just don't give a fuck and/or are idiots. In my 5 years as a waiter, it was far too common for the steaks I rang in to come up overcooked. One of the problems is that, at least in chain restaurants, the line cooks are so fucking busy...

Not anymore!

You sound like a miserable person. Anyway, Lake Town is considerably farther east (i.e much closer to dark people) than Bree.

I think I mentioned it before, but this is exactly how I do it. I think pure paleo is crazy, but using it as a basis for healthy eating as given me amazing results and kept me sane. *Edit* A little more information about my "take" on paleo. For the past 7 - 8 months my diet has mostly...

I 100% agree about Radagast and it was one of my biggest disappointments about the first film. I had him pictured similar to how you did. I think LOTRO colored my view of him, though, as he was presented much the way you described:

You're certainly not wasting your time. ANY exercising is good. Body weight and light dumbbell exercises won't allow you to build a large amount of muscle, but a steady routine of those coupled with a solid diet can allow you to get fairly toned as your body fat drops. I wouldn't worry so much...

Is that a thing? I can't say I've ever experienced that. Q: Icee or Slurpee?

I don't know for sure, but I vaguely recall stuff about elves "diminishing" in the 3rd age.

Thin privilege is being able to bang your hot 18-year-old students.

Stay out of the power racks? That's the best place to do curls, bro!

I had a "Sweet Baby Jesus" the other day, one of Duclaw's beers. It was the first peanut butter flavored beer I've ever had, so I don't have much to compare it to. That said, it was absolutely delicious and tasted like drinking a Reese's Cup.

This is a really interesting question and one that I've been asked several times, as I've spent time abroad. Without going into great detail, I think the biggest reason is that simply saying "American" is an extremely vague term. What does "American" mean, anyway? I'm a white, middle class guy...

I don't know, that doesn't seem so far fetched. I work at a desk all day and teach for about 3 hours each night. I'm lucky to take a total of 50 steps throughout my entire office day, but during teaching there isn't a single minute where I'm sitting, and rarely am I even standing still. If I'm...

My local grocery store has garlic marked as $1 for 2 cloves of garlic. However, when you use the self-checkout aisles and press the "Garlic" button, it is apparently set to $1 per pound, which means I get my cloves of garlic for pennies. Think of how many people I can save (or murder, depending...

No no, I'm just a run of the mill fatty all year round.

It certainly is a lot easier to be motivated to wake up early and hit the gym when it's nice and warm. This past week or so has been especially brutal with the super cold temperatures and snow; I've really had to force myself to trudge out of the house. In other news, I definitely noticed the...

Sadly, you can't help people learn how to be "good" with money. The only way people learn is to hit hard times and learn through experience. Even then, some people are still unable to grasp basic fiscal responsibility.

I had completely forgotten about the whole Pierce debacle. It took me a minute to realize he wasn't there, but I can't say I missed him, either. I like the new old guy and I think he'll be even better than Pierce. Honestly, Pierce was only occasionally funny and his whole racist schtick had...

Community Colleges don't pay very well. Not only are the salaries considerably lower than a "real" university, but the vast majority of teachers at community colleges are adjunct (i.e. part time). In my department there are about 70 teachers, but only 3 are full time and get paid a salary. Even...

Balrog would have destroyed Smaug, no question. Balrog is technically equal to Sauron in that they are both servants of Morigoth (see:http://tolkien.cro.net/balrogs/sauronvs.html). Of course, Sauron's constant focus on growing his power made him stronger over the long run while the Balrog was...
