I was also going to post about the treadmill. I've run a few half marathons and I always use the treadmill for my interval runs. I live in WI so I feel your pain with the weather, and it can also be impossible to find a track or a long flat outdoor surface area to run on. Plus the treadmill makes it really easy to…

Ha, I was similar! I had been working basically full-time during the summer, but in the fall I started classes again, and I had another job, so I told them I had to drastically reduce my hours and gave them my new availability. They completely ignored it and scheduled me when I had class. SO I just said fuck it, I'm…

I mentioned this in my post below, but I started as a busser and only made $4/hour. On weeknights they sometimes wouldn't even have a busser, and on busy nights there were usually 2, at most 3. There's A LOT of side work that has to be done and no way it could be done by only a few people (and some of it has to wait…

Hello fellow Chilihead ;-) Yeah, I never had to clean the bathrooms (thank god) or mop the floors or anything — we had a cleaning crew come at night to do that. And it wasn't like the side work was extremely demanding or unreasonable, but the fact that we're getting paid 2.33/hour to do it is. I feel like whenever you…

I used to work at Chili's and would ALWAYS complain about side work.

Sometimes if I want a quick workout that will get my heart rate up but also is muscle-building, I do a bodyweight workout. You can include things like burpees, mountain climbers, jumping jacks, high knees, butt kicks, squat jumps, lunge jumps. The only thing is, this won't do a whole lot for upper body strength unless…

Yes. I am a girl and I and most of my female friends would agree with you. It's not a deal breaker but going to a guy's apartment and seeing a made bed (especially if he wasn't necessarily expecting company) makes him 10x more attractive. It's a little thing that can say a lot about someone.

Yes! Deadspin is one of the only websites I visit regularly. Love (most of) the writers. Deadspin commenters, on the other hand.... (okay actually they're usually not ALL that bad either)

I definitely agree with you. According to a WashPo article, the male actors each were each getting 9 "points" (percentages of back-end profits). Amy Adams was getting just 7 points (even though at this point in her career she had been nominated for four Oscars, which was more than Renner and Cooper combined). Jennifer…

Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Adams were paid significantly less than their male co-stars in American Hustle (Bradley Cooper, Christian Bale and Jeremy Renner). Female film executives at Sony also made less money than men. This was all revealed during the Sony email hack.

Jesus Christ there are some insufferable commenters on this piece.

My friend did that in college at the library once, except she was watching the baby monkey riding on a pig video... I was sitting next to her and looked at her HORRIFIED. I think I was more embarrassed than she was

I HAVE DONE ALMOST THIS SAME EXACT THING except it was my hamper standing at the edge of my bed and I was too terrified to do anything so I just tried to go back to sleep until I made myself get up and turn the light on.

My top three:

Another article going around today is about a Pew Research report: "Scientists, General Public Have Divergent Views on Science" http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-w…

Okay, it may be easier for women to find a guy to talk to or hook up with if they so desire. But these scenarios are also generally much less safe for women, and sorry, that takes precedence over sparing a man's feelings.

"It's not easy for us."

I don't mean don't put it in your phone. I mean put her number in your phone, but don't dial it right away while she's standing there unless she explicitly says "call me so I can have your number too!"

If a girl wants to provide "feedback" to a guy who is unsuccessfully hitting on her, more power to her? However, she owes him nothing, and honestly if I were to do that I'd be afraid I'd be emasculating him, possibly causing him to become more aggressive.

If I didn't ask to be hit on, why the fuck do I care if I'm hurting your feelings?
