    But you do lose for not being able to afford bare necessities

      you know nothing of loss if that is your baseline

        …

        Did you literally just use “there are fates worse than death” as some kind of comeback to someone saying that not being able afford necessities leads to “losing” (death), implying that a society that allows this to occur should change?

        What are you saying? That people not being able to feed and/or house themselves is fine, because there are worse kinds of “loss”?

        That’s not my take on the image above, that’s my response to OP’s comment. But feel free to take that out of context if it helps you sleep at night

        That’s almost as poetic as it is meaningless

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

  source

  • rockerface@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    “Average” is a vague definition

    source

    • zeca@lemmy.eco.br ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      neither vague nor a definition

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

        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

        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 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.

        I was under the impression mean and average were used interchangeably, but I’m not a native speaker.

        What I meant was mean salary indeed. But median would probably be more adequate.

      For what of the list?

      It also depends on the definition of each, but I mean in a basic sense.
