I’m going to assume that your wife doesn’t jump on you out of pure joy every time you come home, so I think that your dog is definitely the better roommate.
Well shit, I feel like an adult now. Except we don’t have any art or pictures, but instead have a 55″ TV and a sound bar hanging on the wall opposite from the bed. Does that still work for the “art” category?
I know that’s the stereotype that people not from here think of, but it’s pretty damn false. My friends and I have been Warriors fans since elementary and middle school. We remember the “We Believe” Warriors of 2006 and Baron Davis. Take a look at some videos of the Warriors’ 2006 playoffs games and tell me Oracle wasn’t as insane then as it is now.
And you’re not watching the best player of this generation play the best team of this generation, one that changed basketball as we know it? Your loss.
Don’t forget the Rockets’ 3 point shooting. The chances of missing 27 3-pointers given a 35% make rate is about 1 in 115,000. The chances of missing those 27 in a row? Astronomical.
Hiking is awesome because you get a long workout that isn’t completely exhausting but you still burn a ton of calories. Also, you tend to have the best conversations when hiking because you’re in the middle of nowhere without cell reception and thus not checking your phone every 5 minutes.
Driving up to Tahoe and spending the weekend up there with the girlfriend and her parents at their house. Supposed to rain tomorrow I’ll probably be inside watching the Champions League final and the Warriors game, but it’s supposed to clear up by Sunday and we’re doing a hike followed by all you can eat sushi.
Have a good MDW everyone and cheers for everyone that made the ultimate sacrifice so that we could continue being the freest nation in the history of mankind.
The Departed is a masterpiece, but I still can’t believe that it was the movie that finally won Scorsese a Best Picture and not some of his others, like Goodfellas (hot take: it’s a better movie than either of The Godfather’s).
All these fad diets are fucking stupid. There’s a reason you’re overweight: you’re getting more calories than you’re burning. The only way to permanently change that is with a lifestyle change. Otherwise, sure you can do one of these fad diets (keto, 30 for 30, etc.) to lose weight initially, but once you stop and resume the same habits you had before them, you’ll gain it right back.
I’ve seen this movie plenty of times. Ellen ends up getting caught and Denise ends up being fucked in the head, what with the murdered, cheating dad and murderer mom.
True story. Cold liquids generally taste better than warm liquids (ever have warm beer?) and when you drink cold liquid on a warm day when you’re hot, your brain releases chemicals to make you enjoy it more and keep drinking because you’re hydrating yourself.
Agree that it’s fine every once and a while and depends on the region. In SF, it’s basically impossible to have a meal with drinks for under $50, but I’d imagine that much would fetch you way more in a lower cost of living area.
And it totally depends on your financial situation. If you’re in your early 30s (still a millenial!), have 10+ years of experience and are making six digits, yeah spending that much on a restaurant isn’t going to be too painful. But if you’re a few years out of college and just getting your financial bearings together…maybe not the best of choices.
To put this in perspective – if you’re spending $67 on a dinner and drinks once a week, that’s about $3,500 a year. If you’re making $55,000 a year, that means you’re spending over 10% of your post-tax salary one dinner and drinks occasion. Are the tapas and cocktails really that good to justify it?
When I got my first job out of college and was rent poor, I would stock up on nonperishables and meat at Costco. I would spend $50 on enough chicken to last me two months, freeze it, and defrost some every week. Really taught me to budget stuff out. Also, good thing I don’t get tired of eating the same thing over and over.
Why not go for a hike with friends? Or have them over for dinner and do a potluck? Or board night? There are so, so many ways to be social without dropping benjamins at your local watering hole.

That’s clearly because your grunts aren’t manly enough.

Pretty much. Sports nerds will never forget the 2017 Houston Rockets.

Except in this instance, there is no bush.
RIP, Eric. We’ve all been there.
Here’s what I imagine inspired this piece:
Duda: it’s totally fine for a guy to wear women’s clothing. GQ even had a piece on it recently.
Random guy at a bar: *Googles* dude you’re full of shit, no they didn’t.
Duda: dammit.
The Bank of Mom and Dad.
