Went to a restaurant in LA today and when I got the check I noticed that it was a bit higher than it should be. Then I noticed this 18% service charge. So… We, as customers, need to help pay for their servers instead of the owners paying their servers a living wage. And on top of that they have suggested tip. I called bs on this. I will bet you that the servers do not see a dime of this 18% service charge. [deleted a word so it wasn’t a grammatical horror to read]

    The sun’s core being filled with a quark plasma soup instead of, for example cotton candy, is also an assumption that is not evidence-based.

    It’s almost like we as humans can use logic and reason to determine things to be extremely significantly probable without having proof in our hands.

      Our understanding of the sun’s composition is absolutely evidence-based.

      https://www.mssl.ucl.ac.uk/www_solar/PUS/PO/howstudy.html#:~:text=The interior of the Sun,this part of the Sun.

      You’re making the assumption that

      1: this money is embezzled by the owner

      2: people are less likely to tip

      You’re also making a third: that servers receiving less pay won’t go elsewhere

      Whereas we extrapolate from data to understand the Sun (moving from evidence to conclusion) you are starting with your expected result and then manufacturing caused (embezzlement, lack of tips)

      This is the opposite of using “logic and reason”
