An Australian living in London and moving to the US. He got exhausted just writing about that. Spends his days cruising the internet while pretending to write important documents that no one will read.
Matthew McConaughey is, and always will be, a god. I agree with the majority of this list, except for Hugh Jackman (I’m Australian, we have far better representations than him) and Idris Elba because I fucking HATE the Wire.
The last one is why I never want kids, but will always look after someone else’s kids. I get to be the cool uncle, who gives them their first beer at 15 (read: 12, but no one needs to know that), then hand them the fuck back.
Randall, that is solid writing. Let all the over opinionated douche bags argue about #1, I knew what you meant.
We couldn’t care less what you are (race, gender, sexual preference, political preference), as long as you don’t shove it down our throats. You don’t think gay people should be allowed to get married? That’s cool, now let’s never talk about it again. You think feminism is about equality? Alright, glad to know that, let’s move on. That’s what it’s about. Don’t be an idealistic douche nugget, and most people will get along with you.
I completely agree with “fuck the go-getter”. You know why? The go-getter is an annoying, pretentious douche who thinks they know everything about their job, and that their idea will make the office more efficient.
News flash: that idea has been bandied about for years and no one wants to hear about it. You don’t know everything, you aren’t a rising star, you won’t change the face of the company in a couple of years. Learn to do your job well before trying to tell others how to do theirs.
That’s a negative in my eyes. I live in London, which is extremely comparable to NYC. And I now hate masses of people with a passion. When you are crammed into the tube after a long day at work in the middle of summer, and someone rips a wet fart, I guarantee you will want to kill yourself.
I live in London and fly to the US roughly every three months. I fly with Delta because they are the only ones who have a flight that goes to Gulfport, MS. Haven’t had a problem yet except that one time I almost missed my flight because of ice on the runway in Atlanta
Point being, these tips are pro. Especially sticking with one airline. It really pays off in the long run.
For a sociology major who apparently uses their degree everyday, your debating skills are severely lacking.
You can’t take an average of every worker over every industry doing every kind of role and then point to that average and say it is statistically perfect. It’s not. It has no variables for differing industries, roles, levels of education, etc.
Take into account hours worked, and the stat becomes even more shaky. Now I am not arguing that there isn’t a pay gap. There clearly is some kind of pay gap. But you need to examine why. For example, the stat is massively skewed by upper management being dominated by older males in the majority of instances. Which, as the article states, is a hangover from equal pay and women only recently being viewed as equals in the workplace (read: early 1990s at best).
You’ve seen the title, got your panties in a bunch and just charged into the argument without thinking through all the issues.

I still work in the hell that is adjacent desks with zero privacy. I would love a cubicle.
That one sentence shows my soul has officially been crushed.
Guaranteed there will be approximately 4 people who do this as well, along with the standard “You’ve set feminism back 50 years!” comment.
This kid will not get any sex once he hits the real world.

“Men are sexist pigs who only see women as objects” says the girl who only wants guys with toned arms, a six pack in addition to being loaded. PGP

Rant. Over.
No, it wasn’t.

How is he meant to tell you what it’s like if he’s never flown on them? Also, read the last line of the article.
I really hope you’re not in finance with attention to detail that poor.
The truth in this statement cannot be measured.

This speaks to me on so many levels. I hate having roommates. Biggest pet peeve: not washing up after cooking. HOW HARD IS IT TO RINSE A PLATE??
I can’t believe you have an office Keurig. Sounds like they haven’t made broad sweeping cuts to expenses at your work yet. Like Winter, it’s coming.
I would do some heinous things to be able to wear jeans on Friday. Heinous, unspeakable, terrible things.
I swear some people lack any kind of sense of humor.
