You should start wiping your dick on her incredibly soft hand towels then bring up the wet towels when she freaks out on you about it. -Girlfriend whose boyfriend did this.

Is this taking into account temperature differences? Because a pretty straightforward back-of-the-envelope calculation shows that if a ball was inflated to 12.5 psi at 70 F (a perfectly reasonable inside temperature) and is allowed to cool to 30 F (the ambient temperature around the time of Brady's INT), the…

They've made a movie of Z for Zachariah?!?!?

As a final "fuck you" to the NBA, Sterling plans on dying tomorrow.

I had a conversation recently when a friend emotionally told me that he wants me to find my dream job and be successful because I deserve it. I told him I just want to find a job that doesn't crush my confidence, self-belief and destroy me physically (as my last "dream job") did. I also told him it's ok to do…

It's really quite startling how few of the benefits of the progress that was predicted came to pass in the way it was predicted. We got the downside of many efficiencies that made the upside of the efficiencies only marginally beneficial. Roboticized manufacturing, for example, replaced the jobs in whole sectors of…

I work at a company that has a "flex schedule" for salaried employees. Basically this means you can work whatever schedule you want as long as you put in 40 hours a week and your direct manager approves. The most common are the regular 5-8, 9-80 (9 hours a day, every other Friday off), and 4-10 (10 hour days, 4 days…

Most of it isn't even work, it's moving numbers around on Excel spreadsheets in a never ending monotony.

I work in a very conservative industry (and state, and area). When Obama brought up the idea of a federal law paying salaried workers overtime, I thought it would be interesting to see what everyone thought (since pretty much 90% of the exempt employees here work 50 hours). Their response?

I recently downshifted to 32-hour work weeks. I don't have kids and can afford to do so and still live comfortably. I'm lucky this is a viable option at my company — it's not communicated, but I stumbled across an actual corporate policy that defines the terms.

It's funny how whenever someone says, "I love my job.", or talks about all the freedom (ie, less hours) they have, the first responses are always ridicule and mockery. I imagine these people as ones sitting at their desk, bored, neck aching, back sore, reading Gawker on their laptop tilted at a slight angle so their…

I'm sure Jesus would have wanted it that way.

My dad, a Boomer, occasionally reminds me that "everyone pays their dues". I then remind him that in his 20s he supported a wife, two kids, and a mortgage on one income and had Fridays off in the summer.

Great article, thank you for this.

Are you seriously serious? Gawker sites are some of the worst click-bait sites on the internets.

Really? Because that headline isn't very clickbaity.

Article about clickbait is the clickbaitiest clickbait to ever bate you to click.

That’s a bit of a role reversal. Usually it's a dick running his Ford into a fire hydrant. Either way you’re probably looking at a bumper with a little crack in it.

I call bullshit. She's probably just stating this for the infamy. She was so sloppy in the one killing she was busted for, what are the odds she actually killed 21 other people and didn't get caught?

Frank Lloyd Wright and Gehry are both perfect examples of why architects need to work with engineers.
