No, I think they're being literal. There is value that they want in your privacy.

That you can have real change when your country doesn't have billions of dollars spent on oil propaganda.

Stack the apples on top of each other and cut from the top down.

But a professional photographer taking a staged picture should know how to frame the shot so that the shadows work in your favor.

There definitely is a critical mass needed for social media. Reddit hit critical mass around 2012 when digg imploded. When I joined reddit in like 2010, it felt very much like Lemmy currently does.

I think that's a major problem with Lemmy, because it's so disjointed it's hard to hit the critical mass needed to keep conversations interesting and fresh.

Truly a once in a lifetime offer.

Or if the sister died.

Averages are fine if you have a pretty clean dataset. But if you have significant outlier data, like most do, averages can be misleading.

Mode and median are generally better ways to get look at a "central tendency"

I'm curious what query you used.

This is why "average" is a shitty way to measure what values are likely.

If you have a thousand people who have a thousand dollars, and one person who has a billion dollars, the "average" person has a million dollars.

It's people having their battery die while they wait for an open charger.

"Toxic" is just a way to say you've taken things too far and it's now overly harmful to yourself or others.

Toxic positivity is only seeing the good things and overlooking clear and obvious negative things.

For example, there is nothing positive about a school shooting. There is no reason to say "at least only seven children were shot". If you're trying to find something positive about that kind of situation, you're engaged in toxic positivity. Trying to be positive would only serve to mitigate the situation and minimize the pain and suffering of those who were involved.
