....that's all i got. Oh, and they pay you big bucks for it too.

Civil service is bomb. I'm starting to understand why Marxism failz so hard.

There is no presssure to turn a profit here. The minimum amount required is all that gets done. Laid back is the best way to put it.

Today I've downed 3 beers and watched an entire game of footy uninterruputed.

There are probably tons of fake posters here trying to control public opinion of the internet 2.0 about certain
industries.

For example, muscletech probably loses a lot of money because their products are considered bullshit on every decent diet/supplementation board.

He said most companies involved in controversies do this. If a big corporation is in involved in some controversy which is not 'full blown' (full blown meaning something like Enron), chances are that the corporation had probably a team to work the internet 2.0. There are even some companies whose focus is to work the internet 2.0 to fan out controversies. These teams spend a lot of time looking like they are 'normal' users (posting videos, submitting articles to social media, creating new user names on forums, posting, constructing forum personas, ect.).

Knowing that sherdog is the number 63th biggest forum in the world, sherdog may be a target for those who work the internet 2.0. *shudders*

Corporations posting on the internet 2.0

I've already seen it in the heavyweights with people trying to promote shady betting sites.

Grocery staff at Superstore - You will not believe the amount of rats they have in the back of the store. Always take the stuff in the very front of the shelves, because the older stuff gets shoved to the back.
Door-to-door sales - Don't ever sign anything with these guys on impulse. While there may be a good deal or two occassionally, I'd say about 80% of customers will get screwed. They will use sales techniques like saying "everyone in this neighborhood had done it" to pressure you into buying their product impulsively.

Security - These guys have no more arresting power than your average citizen, and they DO NOT have the right to search you. By law, they are only allowed to arrest when they see you committing a crime. However, they can use open-handed tactics to force you off property if they deem you an undesirable.

Sheriff (Current) - Yes we do get half-price food at some places, but we pay extra tips to cover the cost.

This is either bullshit, or your store was run by and had staff who were complete retards

everywhere I have known, you put the fresh stuff at the back, and bring the older stuff forward. I believe it's known as 'rotating stock'

I still assume this is the way it is for most shipping.

That was incredibly dishonest on your dad's part.

You were approved for 13%!" This difference can be quite a bit of money (hundreds to thousands of $ depending on the amount financed) that YOU have to pay. But guess who keeps it! The dealership. After negotiating down a few thousand dollars over a course of 2 or more hours, they will make up for it with this method. And..it's totally legal.

What is a reasonable APR %?

I have heard of people paying literally twice that for REALLY good weed. But that's in the nyc area. Shit's expensive around here. Up near toronto you wouldn't pay above 700 for a qp of good buds.

And the fact that i work for the government on a military base helps, no one is on my ass and i rarely see my boss face to face.

LOL nice, yeah database work here. I'm basically on the computer all day running queries...... and sherdog.
