    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. You will probably never consider him a friend again if that somehow happens. You're not...

    The Ask Kuriin, A Gay Man, Anything Thread

    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.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    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.

    Let me ask you this. You're married right? Before you met your wife did were you ever involved with a woman who you loved as much (or close to as much) as you love your wife? Even if only briefly? If you and your wife split up do you think you'd ever be able to realistically date without...

    People sell themselves as something entirely different from what they are on dating websites very frequently. For instance, apparently every girl in CT likes to hike, is super fun but totally down to earth and absolutely loves their job. In truth all they want to do is complain about their job...

    He doesn't sound like he's fleeing responsibility. He was just in a miserable, draining relationship that needed to end. It's liberating.

    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? The very first thing I said before I even started doing this was "MFP is retarded for recommending I eat like an teenage girl to lose 2lbs a week"...

    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?

    You're misreading that. It's not saying carbs are bad. It's saying specific refined carbs are (white flour, sugar, white pasta, etc). There are also links to insulin shock and hypoglycemia (which eating those refined carbs can and do cause) on heart disease. Hypoglycemia and Cardiovascular...

    Well yeah, but happiness isn't static. It's an ongoing process. Happy people can get bitter, good relationships can turn sour over time. It's something you have to actively pursue. None of us know exactly what the future holds and someone who fulfills you to every extent today may make you...

    Refined white flour literally is unhealthy and white bread as a result is too. Yes, of course in moderation they can be OK. I just take issue with saying that something when eaten more than say, three times a week, can and will have negative effects on your health isn't unhealthy. I think you're...

    This is and isn't true. Dollar menus, canned foods and frozen entrees are indeed cheaper than fresh produce and meat. However, not by so much that you can't feed yourself on a very tight budget. It's really an excuse. I used to feed myself on about $25-$50 per week in college while I was doing...

    Eating a lot of white bread and white rice has almost no nutritional benefit, especially white bread which is made with refined white flour (which is one of the worst things for your health on the planet). So actually yes, depending on what kind of bread you are eating it absolutely does make...

    I went over my calorie limit by 300 today. I went out on a date and had 254 calories to spare so I got a beer. One beer. It was a Goose Island Bourbon County Stout (so goddamn good).

    I separated it in February snowboarding, and then I re-injured it in August doing yoga of all things (although I did tweak it trying to push myself on chest day).
