    White, male privilege and loving parents that supported me in all ways when needed. Seriously, life has been almost on peaceful mode, definitely easy mode.

    Things I didn’t choose or earn? Taller than the average woman in my country. Both parents were smart as hell, university professors. Dad who thought women had every right and ability to do any job they wanted, we weren’t raised differently based on sex.

    College educated parents. Education and early career is so much easier to navigate with parents who know the ropes and have a network.

    I’m easily satisfied with life. I have a pretty good job and make pretty good money, good friends, and I have a beautiful wife, and that’s all I need. I’m not the ambitious type who needs to keep making more and more money. I don’t need the fanciest car or designer clothes. I don’t want to be famous, and I don’t have anything to prove to strangers. That makes it much easier to be happy, I think.

    My dad was a union electrician. His medical benefits literally saved my life. You’ve probably heard how expensive it is to treat type 1 diabetes, well most everything I needed was covered by his benefits, and I did have to deal with a copay at the beginning of the year, but I didn’t have anything denied.

    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

    White man, slightly balanced out by neurodivergence and coming from generational poverty. Outside of that I have a very patient and supportive wife that I’m eternally grateful for. She’s the best

    I still have one working hand, and I can walk.

    I seem to be pretty good at English, which is definitely a leg up on billions of people.

    I’m actively protected, respected, and cared for by my insular community.

    I’m skilled with a microphone and can make whole audiences cackle.

    These advantages are enough that I needed to be nerfed in some incredibly heinous ways, and yet I still have such an advantage that I’m usually first- or second-ban in the draft.

      not to be snarky, but i wonder how much of an advantage this is, is it the world’s default language? should it serve that purpose?

        It’s the default language for international business, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that flips to Mandarin in twenty years, the way things in general are going.

        But I’m not gonna lie, I wish I cool read ich_iel and get the humor so bad.

    I’m a white man living in the UK that’s about as close to life on easy mode as you can get. I learned quite young to not care about what other people thought of me which has been very useful.

      Truly. I think many does not realize the advantages of being a white guy in a 1st world coutry. This advantage is especially useful when traveling abroad.

    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.

        I’m HFA, so sometimes lack of empathy, sometimes better understanding of things in general, a little bit like “the good doctor”, can be rather strange to neurotypical, but it often does the job
