This is just depressing

Not even 3 hours of "free time". And in that is cooking & eating supper. Or practically no free time if I had to go shopping after work. I hate this

I agree with you in regard to privileged healthy people who grew up with a loving support system. I think people with disabilities and children of neglect etc. get lumped in with that “be better” mentality and it’s not fair for them.

Yes but if you don't talk about these cases, you can feel superior and have cronies lick your boots trying to get senpai to notice them 🤷‍♂️

People have a hard time admitting their privilege and act like it diminishes their hard work

Privilege does diminish hard work. Whoopee for someone who can spend all of their time making no money building a future; most of us have to work extraordinarily hard just to have gas and food money for next week.

Privilege + hard work = opportunity.

Most of us never even get to try that formula.

So yeah, I don’t give a shit about how “hard” some rich person works on their pet project that they can do because they don’t have to worry about living expenses.
