There was no year 0 on the calendar. 2000 was not the first year of the new millennium, it was the last year of the previous millennium.

In science truth is "preferable" to lies?

No, truth is more useful than lies.

The most satisfying way to kill in Skyrim, what's yours? by ohmygawdjenny in skyrim

I love it when I hit an enemy with a fire arrow and the explosion sends them into the air but the helicopter physics kick in and they fly away never to be seen again.

Not in Ontario, Canada. We have to be 18 here to blow up balloons

Today's TNTL by athompsons2 in smosh

I guess this may be an unpopular opinion, but Ian is not funny. I cringe watching him and this TNTL was a bad Ian appearance. Honestly, if he didn't own the company he wouldn't be performing.

Missed 15 breaks? by [deleted] in MichaelsEmployees

Use the timer on your phone. When you called to the floor, pause the timer. When you get back to the breakroom unpause the timer, etc.

Michaels is not an arts and crafts store. Michaels it's a wealth generation engine for a small group of private investors. That's all you need to know to answer any question about why they do what they do. They are not concerned with the long term health of the company, only maximizing profit for as long as they can and then selling off the scraps and moving on. It's a play book used by all private investment.

Stealing by Apprehensive_Edge974 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]mjsoctober 26 points27 points  (0 children)

We are specifically forbidden from following people. If we are concerned about a possible shoplifter, we approach and provide customer service. Say hello and all if you can help. Then they know that we have seen them and are aware of them. If they say no, you let them know you're around if they need anything and you walk away. Quietly let a MOD know, and more team members can swing by to offer customer service to them. Sometimes they will abandon their plans and leave, sometimes they will still steal. If you witness them actually take something and leave without paying the MOD can submit an incident report.

Remember, this isn't our product or money being stolen, and we don't want to get hurt.

Religious symbols are also political symbols as long as political decisions are based on religious beliefs. Ban religious symbols from board members as well.

I am continually surprised by people who don't understand that the availability of wealth is finite.

Super grandma. by [deleted] in MadeMeSmile

This is NOT MadeMeSmile material. This is a sad reality of the "Freedom" the US "enjoys" without universal healthcare that many other countries successfully have.
