Some of these should be considered fundamental basics or rights, and not "luxuries".

I've turned into a fairly materialistic person after starting a family, which kinda goes against this list, but I promise I have a point.
I've now started valuing my time in money, quite explicitly. Let's say an hour of my time is worth roughly 50 euros. I can make more money by doing more work, I'm not limited to 40 hours a week when feeling productive, nor am I required to fulfill 40 hours a week when I have a bad case of executive dysfunction. So any time I'm out running errands, it technically IS costing me this much money.
If I have the option to spend X hours doing something, I'm going to ask myself if it's worth it being X * 50 euros poorer for this. Spending time with friends or family? Absolutely worth it. Going on a walk to clear my mind? Still worth it. Drive around a bunch of drunk people for money? Nope, because nobody is going to be paying me enough to make it worth my while and it's not an activity I enjoy doing very often.
I'll make a similar calculation for spending money to gain more free time. If I'm working on my car and something is going to take me 10 hours, but my shade-tree mechanic 3 hours @ 35 euros an hour on his lift... Yeah, I'm going to pay him and hang around while he's doing it. I just bought 7 hours of free time (so 350 euros) for 105 euros.
That does NOT mean that when I make the calculation that I'm going to always actually use the saved time for work right away. I might just hang around at home, take the baby for a spin in the stroller, listen to podcast I enjoy... Hell, maybe I'll take a long ass bath. This is just a way to get myself thinking "hey, my time is worth too much to be doing this", because in the past I rarely said "No" to anyone who wanted me to do anything, and also I'd spend lots of time on anything that could save me a minuscule amount of money.
How is this a shitpost
Shit, I don't have any of those.
Real talk. I cried reading this. They're such simply things and it's the first thing they want to take.
I don't see 'books telling tales of my conquests bound in the skin of my vanquished enemies' on that list.
Wait, this isn't a shitpost
It's something most of us cannot afford to achieve, probably.
Hey, you're right! Why aren't the mods executing OP!?
“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.
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.
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
where are you buying your people?
Let's just say it isn't as easy as it used to be
Just go to Dubai, they'll get you all sorted out.
Money isn't everything but with no money at all, there isn't much left

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.
Bro this isn't funny. Give me back my luxuries right now
One that a lot of us take for granted is being able to breathe easily.
or control when and where we go to the bathroom.
Money and bitches
Since the beginning of time every honest male would give this answer
The “slow mornings” one is my favorite.
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.
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've got: 4,6,8,9
Yeah, I've got one maybe two of that list. FML
I’m rocking five of them at least so, I hope you get here.
Time to ditch capitalism in its current form.
So does it mean that there is some hypothetical capitalism that is good and fair? Hahah
There are indeed several modified concepts of capitalism, which improve upon the shortcomings of our current system. For example, humanistic capitalism.
If we can't ditch capitalism at all (yet), maybe we can at least improve upon the current system
What I just read is so absurd that I don't even know what else to say.
2/12 ain't that bad I guess.
That's absolutely perfect
