It sounds like you're mainly referencing Friends here, with your "work at a coffee shop...in Manhattan by Central Park" comment. Monica inherited her apartment from her grandmother and was able to grandfather in her super cheap rent, which is why she and Rachel are able to afford to live there...

I'm similar in that I find getting dressed and going to the gym helps motivate me to work out. Plus the gym environment spurs me to pushing out that last, tough rep. I know if I worked out at home I wouldn't put in nearly as much effort during the workouts, and I'd blow them off more often as...

The 3rd panel looks like Crossfit.

This thread is just a list of reminders as to why movies are so much more interesting and enjoyable than shitty real life.

People who insist on changing "data are" to "data is" in all of the professional documents we create in the office. It's a never-ending battle and a continuous jimmy rustler.

When I was in high school I worked at an outdoor concert venue in the summer. My entire job was to stand in the Papa Johns tent and...actually, I was never clear on exactly what I was supposed to do. I just stood there and watched the Papa Johns employees sell pizza, but I was never asked to...

With the Skins' O-line, I think we'll be seeing Sexy Rexy back on the field before the end of the season.

My brother recently offered me a job with his company for $17k/year more than I currently make. I turned it down because he would actually expect me to put a full 8 hours of work in every day, and I'd have to quit the shitty-pay-but-I-love-it part time job I have.

I'll definitely be seeing this in the 3D high frame rate version. I saw the last one in regular format at first, then went again about 1.5 months later to check out the 3D high frame rate. I was blown away by how awesomely crisp and smooth everything was. In the Goblin Town action scene (on the...

Hit Costco and pick up a jumbo container of coconut oil as well.

Well, this obese, worthless piece of shit colleague of mine who fell a couple months ago in the bathroom and ruptured her achilles tendon fell AGAIN today outside her apartment and is going to the hospital AGAIN, which means more work for me AGAIN. She probably slipped on ice, because she...

I got excited because I thought I saw Justin Long in the trailer, but I checked IMDB and he isn't in this.

The U.S. government are such a bunch of pussies. A little snow falls and Washington D.C. comes to a screeching halt. So fucking ridiculous.

It's nice to see Jason Bateman getting away from his good guy/straight man stereotyped role.

For real. I think everyone knew stuff was kind of dysfunctional with all the "he said/he said" during the off season, but holy shit, I don't think anyone saw this bullshit trainwreck (both on-and-off field) season coming.

What should I do after I get decked out in all the 496 gear from the Timeless Isle? I'm playing solo and extremely casually (read: no desire to join a guild and do real raids), so should I just join whatever the highest LFR raid that my item level will allow me to enter and work my way up from...

It entirely depends on what you consider "significant". He could very easily tone up, drop body fat, and get overall healthier by doing a simple, full-body dumbbell routine 3 times a week and keeping a solid diet. "Significant" is a very loaded term. During my initial 60+ pound weight loss...

Well, using sports is a perfect example to explain the "reward in-and-of-itself" motivation for lifting like a madman. It might not be motivation that works for you, but it is a perfectly legitimate comparison for those who are able to use that as motivation enough. I'm not quite sure what...

Strength training like Elurin does is no different than doing any sport seriously. The people who do stuff like Elurin does don't "work out", they "train", because to them it's just as much of a sport as basketball, football, etc. Just like all people who seriously play basketball don't expect...

That's almost exactly what I've done this year, and I'm in the middle of cutting back down to around 185 - 190. I started the cut about a month ago, and all this holiday food is interfering because I'm a weak-willed bitch.

Running will do absolutely nothing for upper body strength. If you want to tone your upper body (i.e chest, shoulders, biceps, etc.) you have to work those body parts by using increasingly heavy weights.

Is there any reason you want to improve your running ability? It sounds like you'd be best off ignoring running (since you already get decent cardio from your daily walking) and focusing your efforts on a solid, simple, compound lifting program like starting strength or stronglifts. 3 days a...

This is a general fitness thread. Once you get injured and become a bitter, broken shell of your former self you can migrate over to the lifting thread in the sports forum.

His point is that all these CrossFit athletes who compete at a high level don't get to that level by doing CrossFit, which is ironic and kind of silly when you think about it.

Regarding getting caught, at least at my office,everyonebasically has tons of downtime. It's kind of like an unspoken, mutually-assured destruction situation where all the cube drones (myself included) clearly observe the others doing fuck all for 75% of the day, but spilling the beans would...

That fight scene isn't the worst I've seen (as you mentioned, Batman begins is one of the biggest culprits), but it was still a chore to watch and I wouldn't consider it a "masterpiece". All the short shots and constant cutting back and forth make me feel like I'm watching a fight scene montage...

Jesus Christ, man. Every post you make in this thread gets progressively more depressing.

Wow. I didn't see that coming.

Whether having no work is a good thing or a bad thing entirely depends on what kind of blocks your job places on the Internet. I'm lucky that my IT department is fucking retarded; they have no website blocking in place and they give everyone admin rights on the work laptops. This means I can do...

I don't know anything about the Flash so I have no idea if Barry Allen is correctly being portrayed in the show. That said, I really like the character and the guy playing him and the exchanges between him and Felicity were fantastic. When he moves to his own show it's going to be sad that we...

This! I know people complain about Snyder's over-use of slow motion in his movies, but honestly, I prefer that to the shaky cam bullshit that 90% of movies use nowadays. If I'm watching a movie I want to fuckingseewhat's happening, not get blinded by a dizzying, incomprehensible blur of motion...

Being anxious and nervous about a new job is normal, but feeling like your life is over seems like an odd feeling to have before starting a new job. Have you never worked a full-time job before?

Obligatory:

We should cause a nuclear winter and lower the global temperature to -40 year round, then no one can complain.

The best iron I ever owned was a super old dry iron: just a triangular piece of metal, a handle, and an electric cord running into it. It didn't even have an on/off switch. I don't iron my clothes because in general I'm an unfashionable bum who doesn't give a fuck. However, if I did, I'd try to...

Since your problem has been solved, I'm going to add my opinion that this seems like an awful lot of work to play an almost certainly shitty game. Lord knows we have plenty of English garbage to play.

I'm not quite sure what you're getting it. The food doesn't have anything to do with their choice to ignore the entire wealth of the Italian language's vocabulary in favor of made up words. Anyway, the vast majority of "Italian" restaurants in the U.S.A aren't "authentic Italian", anyway. No...

As a lover of languages I used to get pissed off at the fake words. Their favorite word, "Hospitaliano" that they love to scrawl across menus and say in commercials is a completely made up bullshit word. People used to ask me what it means and I hated having to tell them it was marketing gibberish.

I never saw the first Amazing Spider Man, but the trailer for this has me intrigued. At the very least I think all of the action they showed looks awesome and very "Spiderman", as in very agile, quick, fluid fighting. I'll watch the first one at some point soon and if it doesn't disappoint...

I think that burger looks pretty good. I didn't realize Olive Garden was introducing a burger. I spent 5 years working at Olive Garden and I really have a lot of respect for the restaurant, even though it tends to get a bad rap from lots of people. For example, all of their soup was made...
