Everyone has one. lets try to recognize and be grateful of what we have!
I’m seriously lucky, to the point it has been a running joke among my friend group!
It doesn’t manifest itself as “everytime I gamble, I win”, but more subtly. Finding dollar bills on the ground, having unexpected discounts, getting a dream job, …
20-something English-speaking cis hetero white American male, stable supportive family I keep strong ties with, four-year university STEM degree, gainfully employed at a low-stress job full of people I like that affords a comfortable, reasonably above modest lifestyle, no outstanding debts, no severe health issues or crippling disibilities.
I’ve certainly won more than my fair share of cosmic lotteries, all things considered.
Only thing I guess I’m missing is a partner, which is entirely due to my own lack of effort. So far sailing solo hasn’t bothered me any. But I do occasionally daydream about what I might be missing out on…
I literally have nothing, bruh. Reading this thread reminded me that I am trulu the inferior being.
Nah impossible, at the very least you have either eyes or ears that works to be able to view this thread. Thats an advantage that some might lack
My hair turns copper-gold in the summertime when I’m out in the sun for a few days in a row.
Thats rad!
I’m white and can pass as a straight man if I try hard enough.
I have excellent time sense. I could set a 15min timer on the kitchen microwave, then go into another room. Often I’ll get up and walk into the kitchen just as the timer beeps. Useful, but hard to monetise. Oh, and white privilege.
The human timer
Eventually I get to die and my suffering will end.
i live on one of the richest, most developed countries in the world with a good social system and universal healthcare and retirement.
hopeless optimist
I can usually unscramble 5- or 6-letter words on sight.
err can you elaborate?
I think you meant to say “Can you bletaoera?”
Does that extend to filling in missing letters, like Hangman or crosswords?
Well I’m pretty good with those but can’t do them at a glance.
I’m white, my family is middle-ish class, I don’t pay rent.
I don’t feel any part of me that itches to make posts like this on the internet, and I appreciate that advantage.
Gottem
I don’t have any part of me that itches
Fuuuuck now that’s a god tier advantage.
I’m engaged to my best friend, my future in laws are cool as hell, both my parents are alive and well, and my brothers and I get along really well. I’ve also got the cutest little nephew and hearing him laugh always makes my day. I might not make a ton of money, but I’ve got a damn good family and couldn’t be more thankful for them
A solid, stable support system is a much bigger advantage than people give it credit for.
Congratulations on your pending marriage!
i have a decent understanding of unix-like systems.
Will certainly come in useful if you end up in a Jurassic Park type situation!
yes, i plan to find myself in one.
“This is a UNIX system, we leant about this in school!”
Such a classic line which I couldn’t imagine Hollywood coming out with now. I believe the GUI they use is a real one from the early 90s as opposed to CGI from the special effects team.
My dad died back in 2016 when I was 25 so I got an early inheritance to invest at a good time.
Condolences.
Yet at the same time… Good on him?
