  • RainingOnMe 10 years ago on 10 Man Crushes That Any Self-Respecting Guy Has

    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.

  • RainingOnMe 10 years ago on How To Be A Terrible Friend

    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.

  • RainingOnMe 10 years ago on 5 Reasons Why Millennials Are Actually The Best Generation

    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.

  • RainingOnMe 10 years ago on 20 Things I Learned In The First Year At My First Full-Time Job

    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.

    Rant. Over.

  • RainingOnMe 10 years ago on 5 Reasons Why Los Angeles Dominates New York

    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.

  • RainingOnMe 10 years ago on A Guide To Postgrad Travel

    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.

  • RainingOnMe 10 years ago on The Best And The Worst Of Every Airline

    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.

  • RainingOnMe 10 years ago on Wait, I'm Only Making 77 Cents To Your Dollar?

    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.

  • RainingOnMe 10 years ago on Why Living Alone Is The Best

    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??
