Is it better if they weren't?

The premium credit cards don't assume standing balances. You typically don't get that much money by being bad with money.

[-] HobbitFoot 1 points 3 hours ago

It is because credit card companies charge a fee to vendors. It is sizeable enough that credit card companies will offer 1% back so they can make money on the other 2%-4%.

Yeah, but depending on the industry, that can be ok.

Some fields have companies that will hire and fire en masse based on projects that start and stop. At that point, they aren't just paying you to show up to work, they're also paying you to leave.

At that point, Lemmy would no longer be a Reddit like site. The experience would be functionally very different, probably more like a federated Tumblr.

It sounds more like "I don't want to shower and will use any excuse to not shower.

Tags without communities would upend how Lemmy works. You would need instance based moderation instead of community moderation in order for that to work. You would also run into problems if a post is tagged with multiple tags, since that could mean a different sets of mod rules applied to the same post.

Yes. I've had them before; they aren't that bad.

Trains still accepted that noon should be near the middle of the day. Time zones came from railroads trying to standardize time.

Time zones were the result of railroads getting towns to abandon their town specific clocks because of railroads.

The cultural relationship with time is more important than its absolute measurement.

That's a weird way to say there's a big heat wave.

It is amazing how little some people think through what the strategy is of doing anything. It isn't a technical skill; it is just knowing what sequence to do things so I can put in the least amount of effort.

I'm not even that great at board games.

For instance, a species with little to no navigable oceans or a fully aquatic species may find it difficult to develop the cultural skills necessary to run a ship because there isn't a tradition of operating a ship the same way there is for humans.
