Unfortunately, you do need money for like 2/3rds of those

And people for the other 1/3.

And how do you buy people if not with money

[–] SeptugenarianSenate@leminal.space 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

where are you buying your people?

Let's just say it isn't as easy as it used to be

Money isn't everything but with no money at all, there isn't much left

[–] thisfro@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Some money yes, but an average salary should work for all of them, no?

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

"Average" is a vague definition

[–] zeca@lemmy.eco.br 11 points 1 month ago (4 children)

neither vague nor a definition

average is the sum of a list of values divided by the size of the list.

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 11 points 1 month ago

Well, if you look at the average salary across the whole world, an overwhelming majority of people doesn't make enough money to survive, so there's that

[–] masterspace@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

No. If you're going to be pedantic, at least be right.

Average

noun

  1. a number expressing the central or typical value in a set of data, in particular the mode, median, or (most commonly) the mean, which is calculated by dividing the sum of the values in the set by their number.

The term average, inherently refers to at least three different ways to calculate the central value in a data set. What you're talking about is mean, but it can also mean mode, or median, and there are other, even, more complicated calculations than those depending on your context.

So yes, average, is an inherently vague and hard to define term.

youre right, i take it back

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Idk, generally people mean the mean by average and the median by median, but I get your point. (But I think the term average salary can be ambiguous for other reasons, not disagreeing there.)

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

Average salary (that is, the mean) isn't that good of a metric even if you account for region, industry and so on, because just one outlier can easily skew your entire statistics. Median is much more useful in that regard.

[–] NessD@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

It's something most of us cannot afford to achieve, probably.

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Hey, you're right! Why aren't the mods executing OP!?

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 38 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

“Calm and boring days” is definitely underrated. When you’re an adult with daily responsibilities, it’s almost impossible to have an extended period, let alone an entire day, where there is nothing that comes up that needs to be done.

[–] allidoislietomyself@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Amen to that Brother Reverend! I love when there is nothing to do. It is so liberating. But after a day or two I start to feel guilty I'm not being a productive member of society.

The “slow mornings” one is my favorite.

[–] MeatPilot@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

For me "slow mornings" means I get to take my time as I poop, shower, and then enjoy a cup of coffee in absolute silence. Before my day is ruined by my kids fighting or asking me for things.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I bet having kids is an amazing experience but my partner and I are not having kids and we’re getting older, so “slow mornings” means we wake up, go back to sleep, get up at noon, have some kratom, shit, order breakfast sammiches, and lay in bed watching random stuff until dinner.

Basically most weekends.

I don't see 'books telling tales of my conquests bound in the skin of my vanquished enemies' on that list.

One that a lot of us take for granted is being able to breathe easily.

Too bad the majority of them require disposable income.

[–] some_random_nick@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

That's why it says "luxuries"

[–] DozensOfDonner@mander.xyz 4 points 1 month ago

I'd not only day ability to travel but ability to follow any passion. Setting the world, making art, opening a store, whatever makes you do b something you just love doing just for the activity itself.

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Well, I make home-cooked meals, at least.

[–] Xerxos@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Yeah, I've got one maybe two of that list. FML
