Lots of people out there with just a rabbit ears antenna and a TV who can’t/won’t pay for cable. It’s why the NFL is on network TV and why most popular network TV shows’ ratings dwarf cable TV ratings, even though the cable shows tend to be much better.
A few months down the line, it would suck to be the last person who had sex with her prior to her finding out that she’s pregnant because she’ll think that it’s your baby.
Lots of family time this weekend – girlfriend’s nephew’s first birthday tomorrow and my cousin’s college graduation party with the family on Sunday. Hoping that the Brewers can come back at home and beat the Dodgers.
The Sopranos omission was insane; it was like putting together a top 10 all-time basketball players list and omitting Jordan because you never watched him play. But yeah, controversy always gets clicks. There’s no way that the post has 64 comments and counting if Nick posts a top 10 list that most people agree with.
Agreed with both your points. I just think that it’s too early for The Deuce, given that there’s only been one full season that’s aired. It’s a good show, but not top 10 greatest HBO shows ever good. At least not yet.
I wasn’t trying to be a prick, I was legitimately trying to empathize with Parker in my first paragraph. I had a friend go through a similar situation where he was having trouble finding a job and revamping his resume made all the difference.
In the second paragraph, I thought that Parker was being ridiculous complaining about his pay given his company’s earnings. Companies pay employees what they feel that their labor is worth and you can either take it or leave it. I would love to be paid twice as much at my current place, especially when I have two months of 80 hour weeks every year, but it’s not going to happen. I’m aware of that and aware that no one’s forcing me to be here. Clearly if the company paid Parker $18/hour, that was what they thought he was worth. If he wanted to make more at that company, he has the option of going on the track that many people do to get that higher pay. If that makes me a prick, so be it.
I don’t care enough about ATL Guy. It’s stupid getting into an argument with someone on a random internet site, although I’ve been guilty of that in the past. If I wanted to do that again, I’d go back on Facebook and start posting about politics.
Your piece’s tone is dark and I can sense your frustration. Have you considered getting some interview coaching and getting your resume professionally done? It’s probably not a good idea to talk about curating erotic audio book content unless you’re trying to get a job in the porn industry. You’d be surprised how much of a difference a professionally done resume and some interview coaching can make.
Also, $7 million monthly revenue for a consulting firm isn’t that much, although I wasn’t surprised to see this complaint from someone who worked for Bernie Sanders’ campaign. And $18 isn’t bad for what’s essentially a non-skilled labor job. If you want to make more at a consulting firm, get an MBA.
Great read. It’s going to suck when Buster Posey retires in the next few years. At his prime he was one of the greatest catchers to ever play the game, but his age is starting to show.
On a related not, I was incredibly upset when Roy Halladay died earlier this hear. I grew up watching Baseball Tonight show highlights of his dominant pitching and won’t forget watching his no-no for the Phillies.
We did Bugs and Lola Bunny from Space Jam last year and it was great. We just bought their jerseys on eBay and wore basketball shorts and tennis shoes. Super easy, cheap and comfortable, would highly recommend.
I remember one dance in particular when I was 15, when grinding with a girl for one song turned into grinding with her for five songs which then turned into a make out session. All my friends saw and I felt like a king afterwards. Those were the days.
I got a Roomba a few months back and can’t recommend it enough. I run that sucker a few times a week and can turn it in remotely. They’re expensive but worth every penny because my carpet is now spotless and I don’t have to spend a second vacuuming it.

Down almost 7% already? Yikes. Hope you didn’t buy Sears Holdings.

Agreed. I always wonder if they’re going to spit into my coffee because I didn’t leave them the extra 50 cents from a 20% tip.
I’ve read that they’re having some financial problems and may have to cut their long haul flights. Hope they turn things around.
IMO, Season 4 of The Wire is the greatest season in TV show history.

You excluded The Sopranos, Six Feet Under and Sex and the City, but included The Deuce and Ballers?
I’d call it “elaborating,” but I see your point. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

More Madoff, please. Just inject his writing straight into my veins.

Something tells me that this isn’t the first time that Cheryl has gotten between Alyssa and her boyfriend.

Last night’s sex was the best that Todd is going to get for the next ten years.
