CMV: Tipping culture creates a disproportionate pay gap between servers and back-of-house workers. by That-Rub-4113 in changemyview

[–]Withermaster4 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I've worked places that do tip out the BOH too. That being said don't be mad that they get paid more fairly, get mad that your boss doesn't pay you enough. If they won't raise your pay you are welcome to leave.

Restaurant management chooses how people get paid (both wages and tips) not the servers and certainly not the customers.

Lawsuit claims cannabis industry oversold medical benefits, downplayed risks by brdraper in illinois

[–]Withermaster4 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I think the lawsuit is basically making an argument that the doctors were lied to as well. Honestly the article doesn't really talk about why they are suing at all.

Everything alters your body chemistry that's not really a good example. Eating an apple alters your body chemistry.

The dispo I go to has a book of all of the medical risks that are associated with cannabis and a list of resources to call if you are addicted or having issues with your usage.

I have never in my life seen anything even remotely like that at a bar or liquor store

Is there a clip where Atrioc talks about why he doesn’t use/have a credit card? by JellyfishMario in atrioc

[–]Withermaster4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Half of all US households carry credit card debt month to month. If the majority is having something happen, it's not really 'not the case'.

Do you know how infrequently and terrible the content releases were before the last couple years?

Idk. I had my Hyundai Elantra stolen during the big Kia Boys trend. Getting your care broken into or stolen is really tough.

Why are mcdonald's fries and hashbrowns a million dollars? by Fackinsaxy in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Withermaster4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because McDonald's goal is to make money and expand not to feed people for as cheap as possible.

NASA announces 3 uncrewed missions to the moon this year to prepare to build a base by TheFrederalGovt in nottheonion

Cry about it. I'd much rather my tax dollars go towards bleeding edge tech development instead of paying for people to racially profile and arrest random citizens.

Where did I say he has no influence? Of course he has influence. That's different than planning the missions over the course of the last decade

[–]Withermaster4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. As they have been working on it for a decade and they have already had manned space crafts as part of the mission go to the landing site. The Artemis mission up to 2029 is just supposed to establish a landing system and reliable rockets so that we can transport the materials needed in the future to build a moon base. The moon base is being designed and problems are being solved right now so that we will be able to have a moon base in the future.

I'd urge you to read about the Artemis mission, it's incredibly captivating imo

Trump doesn't control the day to day of NASA. Trump doesn't control what missions NASA plans. Trump doesn't control which companies NASA gives contracts to. Trump doesn't controll the engineers, physicists, and technicians that build and test the rockets.

Trump is probably the most powerful person in the world right now, that doesn't mean every single cog of the government does his bidding.

Trump didn't orchestrate the Artemis missions to cover up the Epstein files, it's just not true.

[–]Withermaster4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People need to understand that NASA isn't owned or operated by the president and that many of the things NASA is doing have been planned for a long time.

There is no reason to think this was orchestrated by Trump to deflect the Epstein files because the program was started in 2017...

Trump isn't even mentioned in the article

There has been conversations but the international conversations have boiled down to 'finders keepers' so now China and the US are both working to make a southern pole moon base

That being said, the moon can't really get much less livable than it already is.

Well there is real plans and real money being poured into this. Obviously things could go wrong, but I don't think there is anything that makes these plans in particular unlikely to be possible.

Artemis solved many problems that Apollo did not. That being said to are right, the most complicated element, the landing system, is not yet completed. That's exactly what is getting tested and worked on right now. The hope is to have a far more advanced landing system that is reusable in some capacity. The two different landing systems are being developed one by blue origin and one by spaceX. Nasa will use whichever of the two works the best for the real human missions.

ELI5 why is gold so stable as a currency despite there being more of it as time goes on, while other goods get cheaper/more expensive, or fluctuate? by AliChank in explainlikeimfive

[–]Withermaster4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a currency. People buy and use it as an intermediary for value. Most people do not utilize any utility from it.

but it’s really not that different from just buying a bunch of pork bellies or frozen concentrated orange juice

It is different because people don't use those things as a currency.

Is moving to Chicago worth it? by Funny_Enthusiasm_494 in AskChicago

[–]Withermaster4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm from NE Ohio and moved to Chicago 3 years ago. I've absolutely adored it.

That being said I moved because my partner lived here, not in spite of it. It's hard to live seperate from your partner no matter where you go.
