    It should have just been made into a comedy. It wasn't actually a comedy, far from it. It had some good laughs but it would have been a much better movie overall if they got rid of all the feels and terrible story and piled on the lols.

    Being affluent has nothing to do with not understanding the consequences of your actions nor does it have anything to do with whether or not you should be held responsible for something. It doesn't matter what your financial situation is, if you've never been held accountable for your actions...

    It's a little easier to just look at the tag to find out what store you bought it at and just remember your size. It's only 2 measurements and a cut. 16 x 33.5, Slim. And it should be the same at any store you shop at if it's a reputable brand (outside of the cut, that can differ. Slim at Brooks...

    Calling a movie a "character piece" when it's clearly advertised as a con/action movie is excusing it's mediocrity for no good reason. Remember when people started excusing how terrible the writing for LOST got after it ended? "Oh it was a character piece, it was about the relationships they...

    Shop at Brooks Brothers, there is nothing wrong with their clothing, it's just a little overpriced. He doesn't like the cuts because he's an effeminate European who likes his clothes to fit nice and snug to his lady like arms and waist. (Well maybe not, their shirts do tend to be a little...

    Jumbo Loans are an entirely different beast, does anyone even offer jumbos for under 20% down? Unless he is going to need to take out a loan for more than 417K (625K in metro areas like Boston) he doesn't need to worry about that and an FHA loan won't get him dismissed by a seller. But yes...

    1) Typically the seller pays the commission of both the agents, the buyer doesn't pay a cent so getting him to lower his commission won't save you money. But it may tip the scales in your favor in the case of a bidding war 2) Offers being ignored if there is less than 20% being put down in MA...

    You're missing the point. It's actually in the dictionary now because of how widely used it became. Which is why it's funny that people say shit like "words have meaning" on these boards all the time. All I need to do is start a trend and whatever word I invent will become part of our great...

    I usually try to give my friends business when I can but just know this... If he doesn't do a good job (and a bad agent can blow a sale, trust me I've had it happen) it will ruin your relationship with him.

    Brooks Brothers is a "high end" clothing store. C-suite is a term people used to refer to a corporation's most senior executives. He's saying peons shop at Men's Wearhouse, senior execs shop at Brooks Brothers. I'm guessing he's implying that it's not in fashion to shop there if you know...

    Eh, I don't see how acting can take a movie with a terrible plot and make it "good". But whatever. Yes the acting was good but the story just couldn't be saved. I didn't care what happened to anyone in the movie and literally nothing happened. There was no "long con" there was no payoff. The...

    Living in the areas you mentioned is just silly as far as cost of living goes. The reason I still live on the East Coast is to inflate my salary, pump up my 401(k) (due to company matching) and buy performant rental properties so I can move to a cheaper place (like where you live) later in life...

    What did you guys like about this movie? It's so terribly written in my opinion. There is no suspense, no tension, no action. It's not even a popcorn flick because there is literally nothing that happens in this movie.

    I ain't trying to break it! That stupid site is telling me to eat like this! I must assimilate! We all agree on this one fact. Don't trust MyFitnessPal to give you a good estimate on how many calories you should intake per day to lose a set amount of weight.

    I think he's handling it perfectly fine. No need to burn bridges before the divorce is finalized. She might get vindictive and try to take him to the cleaners. Kill her with kindness until you are free and clear, then act however the fuck you want to.

    You'll be back preaching a terribly unhealthy way to pack a shitload of sugar into a small glass of liquid? We've had this discussion before. Eating an orange = good. Throwing 10 oranges into a Vitamix to get one 10 oz glass of orange juice = bad.

    I am pretty much exactly like you in this regard. I get excited about someone (can't help it) really early on and then lose interest just as fast. It's a hard habit to break and taking things "slow" is something that does not mesh well with my personality.

    MFP says 1300 calories will net me 2 lbs a week. I want to see what the actual weight loss is. You understand what the word "curiosity" means right?

    Why would you bake a plain white bread? If you're gonna go to the trouble of making bread from scratch make a delicious whole grain bread. 7 and 12 grain breads are so far superior to plain old white bread in every sense of the word. Also, how often do you get to eat freshly baked bread?
