Ask Lemmy

Wicked smaht. And generally good genes - no family illnesses or anything.

Autism ?

I have known some wonderful people who have helped me to grow into a person I don't entirely hate. Most of the time, I'm depressed, but I feel privileged to know people who remind me of things that are worth fighting for.

Tall. Forever slim no matter what I eat. Stable supportive family.

A really good immune system. I get a cold maybe once every two years and they only last for about three days. I also don't get fevers (nobody knows why), which I know is kinda paradoxical but my immune system somehow is really good at dealing with infections despite this.

I don't feel any part of me that itches to make posts like this on the internet, and I appreciate that advantage.

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

My dad died back in 2016 when I was 25 so I got an early inheritance to invest at a good time.

i live on one of the richest, most developed countries in the world with a good social system and universal healthcare and retirement.

A lot of people saying white + male, I'm not white but I'm light skinned in a country where colourism is a social plague, random people literally call me "whitey" and "blondy" despite me literally having a black mother, when I tell them I'm not white they reply "yes, you are", and I'm like "OK, mfer, apparently you know better than me to what ethnic group I belong". Can't say I haven't benefited from it, the police has almost never given me shit (they did once to be exact). I'm also a heterosexual cis man, and even tho I was born and raised in the poorest district of a big city my father always told me to cultivate my intellect, so I learned multiple languages (English being one of those), went to community college, taught myself software development, etc. I didn't have the biggest head start in life, but compared to my friends in the hood, and women and immigrants across the whole country I simply cannot complain.

Having travelled a lot, I feel I was born into what I consider a great country just as it was starting to pull itself out of poverty. Pure chance.

I got a good education and college was essentially free.

I have a lot of kids and work really hard at being a good dad so I am surrounded by love. I am very lucky that I am married twenty years (some better than others) to someone who still loves me and who I still love. Some days that love is all that keeps me going because fuck me I am exhausted haha.

I feel uncomfortable typing all that out but it's a good exercise in thankfulness so thank you.

Absolute, fanatical concentration.

White + was lucky to get a good job early on + parents had enough capital in their home to guarantor for my home loan at 28.

I dunno. I feel I get worse and worse at things the older I get.

Born in Europe, Not an immigrant, financially stable, free education, not part of any significant minority

I am helping many needy peoples.

I have an IQ of 123 in spacial recognition.

English teacher who made me write a 500 word essay every day for a semester.

i have a decent understanding of unix-like systems.

I can usually unscramble 5- or 6-letter words on sight.

I guess being white male, and 198cm/6foot6 Though this is a curse also.

I am very comfortable with my own company also, and never get bored so many things to do and learn!

I've experienced both extremes of fiscal class: inherited wealth and opportunity as well as prison and homelessness. It's a double edged sword, a great curse and advantage concurrently.
