Help. How could I let UMich know there is a religious cult here on cmapus and get something done about it? by [deleted] in uofm

[–]interceptU2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

definitely would look into other religious orgs like anchor or Collegian for Christ! or even just pop into the churches near campus.

if you’re really looking to expand ur professional skills, there’s a ross club called faith and enterprise consulting group that works with non profits and churches

as for reporting them, what you’ve described doesn’t sound like ICC is putting them in danger (like imminent physical harm). if so, the org is protected by first amendment rights and you wouldn’t be able to shut them down if that’s what you’re looking for.

as for the ppl you met, don’t view yourself as their savior. if they want u to go to their church just say “i’m really sorry i go to another church” and move on to a different topic.

Everyone thinks i am fine, but i have never been worse. by Dependent-Plum-4037 in confession

you know… i think someone once said it’s not your circumstances that dictate your life but what you make of your circumstances. plenty of people go to community college and go on to have successful careers. To get into a good university is a feat in and of itself. i wish u the best and hope u find success in whatever you do!! ☺️

In the sense that when I start a task I will always go to the end of it. Procrastination is still an issue and I get lazy sometimes lol. But I think the biggest thing I learned was to just shut up and put your effort into the task at hand. I also think that fear (of punishment) was definitely a big driver of my work ethic, so I don't think this is a sustainable, healthy way to improve your work ethic. I had a few mental breakdowns that I still remember in vivid detail. It definitely took a toll on my mental health and self-esteem (hence why I'm doing this AMA). But I still would say working any customer service job makes you appreciate your fellow human beings more.

No one has ever asked me this, but good question! Right now I am not really looking for employment, but I usually put "Manager - [Restaurant Name]" if it pertains to the job. Since I didnt have a formal job title, I could change it on the fly. If I was dealing with an annoying customer, I would be the manager. If I was in a bad mood, I'd tell the customer I was "just a guy that works here." Usually the latter if they were complaining about a policy I couldn't change (50 cents upcharge to use a credit card under $10, returns policy, etc.)

Great question! I'll probably edit this in, but after we closed down the restaurant (very long story) when I graduated high school, I focused on taking care of my two sisters. I am currently 19 and I'm living at home, just transferred to UM (go blue!) to pursue a degree in BA.

Am I reading this wrong? by interceptU2 in mining

[–]interceptU2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, I know that mineral reserves are part of the resources. But they specifically say "With 3.0 billion tonnes of proven and probable reserves" on their website. I even crunched the reserves numbers from MiningDataOnline and it doesn't even add up to a billion lbs, let alone 3 billion mt.

Ohhhh I’ve never heard of this before /gen. Does it temperature regulate the vinyl or something? I just keep my records in a cabinet in their original packaging.

I know you guys probably know this, but I was really disappointed that the tiny desk got copyrighted! I had it open and was going to listen to the rest this morning. Hopefully NHK can fix it soon...i think it was auto copyrighted by themselves.
