This does nothing to stop the company from viewing, grabbing, and monitoring your daily traffic to and from you machine before it leaves their LAN/WAN. Your illusion of protection is paper thin, Just food for thought

i always wondered how that worked. thanks..and the rest of your posts are really insightful

Had a buddy who used to sell "designer" cologne in nondescript bottles. buddy told me that it was the real shit, just not packaged in the designer bottles and as a result, much cheaper.

this was total bullshit, he didnt know and neither did I, because he was told to sell cologne before he was ever given a bottle. once he collected 10 bucks from family and friends they gave him some bogus shit and every "brand" smells the same

And come time for a rave, holy shit thats the jackpot right there. If you have the right dealer, you can get each pill for around 3 or 4 dollars. Come to the rave when people are getting desperate for ecstacy, and you can jack up the prices to 15, and if theyre desperate enough 20 dollars. My friend went to Monster Massive with around 100 pills and came home with around 1200 that night.

Good money for a teenager if you ask me, but gets shitty when you have to actually support yourself unless you start slangin by the pound

you are telling the truth..once i made a fiend pay me 25 bucks for a pill and walk down a hall way in his underwear for ONE..

I disagree. Maybe if your talking about weed or meth, but not crack cocaine. An oz of crack around here is $400. If you sell everything you get a profit of $2,300 minus the $400 you put back into buying another oz. Thats $1,900 tax free profit. Depending on your clientele, you can dump that shit in 3 days. If your steady, thats an easy 5-8 grande a month. Purty good eh?

I used to work at a porn store

- most girls that go in to buy dildos buy the small 4-6 inch dildos

- lesbian girls rent asian lesbian porn

- when i shout out HELLO!! to a customer when they walk in the door they say hi quietly, blush, never make eye contact

- in a porn store, a customer is never right

- those edible flavor lotions taste like shit

Lets see, I've worked so many jobs in my life, I can go on and on.

Professor: I can write a book on this. For one thing we rarely read your final paper or even grade your finals, unless you are a very close case, which means you are between grades. It's not that we don't care but that they do NOT give us enough time to turn the grades in. You might have even noticed that if you were doing great in a class, but bombed the final, your grade seems unaffected.

Here's another tip for college, and it's linked to the first one. You are much better off getting an A in the midterm or the first paper, and then slowly declining, than doing crappy at the beginning and working your way up. They say first impressions are key, and this is true in a class. If a student writes a kickass first paper Im likely to give them the benefit of the doubt all quarter because I see how well they can do. If a student does a crappy first paper, I might even be suspicious if the next one or last one is amazing, and will pay careful attention to the writing.

Also, we do talk to each other about mutual students, especially outstanding students or weird ones.

Also, you know annoying people in your classes? they annoy us too.

bartender: if you're drunk, you're getting watered down drinks. If you're really drunk, you are getting ones with almost no alcohol, and you will not know the difference.

there are a million things we can do to your drink if you piss us off. NEVER piss off or become belligerent with a bartender. Believe me, I'll stir your martini with my dick and watch you drink it if you mess with me.

I must say, having been on the internet for 12 years now, this is the most epic thread ever.

the self help industry is bullshit. all those self help books regurgitate and recycle the same basic ideas over and over again. the reason they're books and hours of audio tape is filler. most of them are just 'success' stories and examples, if the ideas were just explained and didn't have all the other things the books would be a couple of pages. most of the industry is more about encouragement than any 'secrets'. you can find out most of the best techniques on how to do ANYTHING with just a few google searches and reading up on them. a lot of those authors are also fuckups who write a book, connect with people in the way they 'explain' things ie the stories and become famous when in fact they're more screwed than you are. robert kiyosaki is a prime example

the seedy side is an interesting side

Yeah actually i saw lots of people that i recognize. The thing about the shop i worked at was in an industriall area. All warehouses for miles and we were in the middle of it. So any pervert with a car went there because no one would accidently see them walk in.

Anyways i saw a university professor come in. He wasnt one of my profs, but a prof i seen on campus. Ive seen people that dont know me, but i know them. Such as prominent business men and legislative people. Also lots of cops and teachers. When i say "hey arent you so and so?". They get stumped and give me some reason why they are at my store. Like "oh my wife isnt around, or i gotta bring a movie to a bachelor party, or this is my first time being in a porn store". Some people blush red in like 4 seconds flat, its fuckin hilarious.

Ive seen guys i didnt get along with, but they just leave.A good one was when i seen a hot blonde from my microbiology class. During saturday evening, i was studying for microbiology when she walked in the store with her boyfriend. I didnt wanna embarass this one so i kept my head in my books and pretended i didnt see her come in. I thought she would leave, but she didnt. She came up to the counter with that very timid look. I never acknowledged her. I just pretended they were both normal customers and im sure she appreciated that. During that semester she always glanced over, but i never acted on it. Im such a dumbass.

The best one was when i seen my old boss come in. When he saw me his eyes went wide. Like how when a person sees a car accident. We werent on bad terms, but he was rattled with my presence. He went on about how hes on vacation and some bullshit. I could care less. He never rented and left. I never looked down on people renting porn. I honestly just dont give a shit. Its just porn.

Like one guy filed a claim about his 600 dollar sunglasses being stolen. He sends in a bunch of stupid ass pictures of him wearing the sunglasses, and this guy looks like a complete tool. The pictures are circulated, blown up, romoshopped and all that. So just remember, even if you're communicating with a professional company like an insurance company, we're still laughing at you.

Yeh this is very true. At my work when people ring in they're often put on loud speaker if they are weird/really angry/being dickheads so everyone in the office can have a laugh, weird requests are spread around the office etc.
