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.

Eventually I get to die and my suffering will end.

My hair turns copper-gold in the summertime when I'm out in the sun for a few days in a row.

I'm seriously lucky, to the point it has been a running joke among my friend group!

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.

[-] mapleseedfall@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

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

[-] someacnt@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 days ago

I'm not convinced that's a plus. Really feels like ignorance is bliss nowadays

[-] mapleseedfall@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

I guess my point is that its generaly better to focus on what you have rather what you lack.

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 6 days ago

I'm white, my family is middle-ish class, I don't pay rent.
