I once said exactly the same benign and banal comment you just did at a work lunch (essentially “the 8 cups of water a day thing is just a myth that can be traced back to a single mistaken interpretation of advice from 100 years ago- we don’t need to be constantly chugging water to obtain adequate hydration throughout…

“Someone is going to talk to you in some way shape or form 90% of the time. Deal with it.”

So someone who has a documented history of debilitating anxiety responses to being put in exactly this kind of situation should calmly and rationally have responded to it? Do you not understand how debilitating anxiety actually operates? 

Not to mention that there’s no evidence that he “stormed out” or was in a huff or being a diva. He’s literally said being put in this exact type of scenario causes him extreme anxiety. And that’s just with regular clips of him acting- singing is an even more personal and vulnerable act, so it stands to reason he would…

There is literally no reason why they can’t add the clip in post-production. The interviews aren’t aired live- they’re edited and altered before being released. I don’t even understand how this is a debate. He’s talked publicly about it dozens of times, and even gone so far as to say that at the premiere of…

Great advice. Roth IRAs, 401ks, etc. etc. etc. are all ridiculous wastes of time and money. Might as well take up smoking because it looks cool and won’t kill you for 30 years, so why worry?

“Something is gonna kill you. Get over it. I enjoy my life. I do whatever the fuck I want.”

“A lot of people are still going to have a negative view of FCA going in...” 

What an odd comment...

These universal “rules” are always so absurd. If someone writes a long speech about how “our relationship is struggling and we need to talk and could we please meet up” and you respond “k”, then fine, the conversation begged for a longer, more thoughtful reply. If someone says “let’s meet up for coffee at 2:30" then…

So now the advice is dumb because it’s only going to be used as a safety net to cover two bad periods of unemployment? Wow, how terrible! We should totally dismiss the utterly obvious advice to be think long term about small but repeated cash outlays because people will end up spending the money they wouldn’t have…

A) $1,300 invested in a ROTH IRA every year for 40 years is gonna add up to a helluva lot more than a down payment of a very used car.

I love this response. The advice is literally “using coffee as an example, if you stopped making unnecessary small purchases thousands of times the money would add up”, and your response is “this advice is dumb because if I didn’t spend the five dollars on coffee I would instead make thousands of other small and…

This is such a classic example of what the people who say “don’t buy coffee and invest instead” are actually saying. The video above (and the other articles I’ve seen criticizing this advice elsewhere) all act as if the “no-coffee” crowd is saying “if you do nothing else different and JUST stopped buying coffee you’d…

“These “if you just dont buy this *****” idea of personal finance is BS. Ya that is true,but the major things are so much bigger than a latte in the grand scheme of things it doesn’t matter.”

So take that $5.00 a day and invest that in a low cost index fund. The whole point of the advice is to take money you’re not currently saving and invest it somewhere, so you can still have the same mix of investments you’re talking about while taking the “gurus” advice to invest the $5 in a high return investment…

THANK YOU! I cannot roll my eyes harder at the Lifehacker’s and Slate’s of the world that are rushing out to say “a latte a day won’t make you poor!” It’s intentionally misunderstanding the point that is being made in order to criticize it nonsensically. The entire point is that if you spend a few dollars here and a…

Ohhhh, do one for grease and oil! When I cook chicken paillard at home the oil tends to splatter and has a shockingly far range- it gets on the above-stovetop microwave and fan, on the counters, and on the utensils and stuff I keep near the stove. It’s now caked on everything and a lot of the stuff (the bottom of the…

Ding ding ding, we have a winner folks!! One thing that I’ve done is set the sous vide to around 105-110, dropped the frozen meat in for 10 minutes, and then taken it out to salt and season the meat before throwing it back in the water at whatever temperature I actually want it to cook at. Thaws quickly, cooks…

I’m 5'10" and I hate airplane seats. They’re terribly uncomfortable. Complaining about people stretching their legs after sitting on an airplane for any amount of time is dumb. Pretending that people are standing up (even at the very back of the plane) in some mad dash to get out faster as the author does here is even…
