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!

Hey 198cm club!

Everyone thinking you're super strong is both a curse and a blessing too.

Lol at someone thinking 2 meters is a curse. Fuck right off.

We all got back problems because we have to carry our huge dick.

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

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

Everyone I know owns a business, or is a landlord

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'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, ...

Other than randomly being born in a western democracy ranking high on living standard, happiness etc.

I was a good boy and put in the effort in school. I get paid accordingly and have a relatively stress free job.

Pro: I never get seasick, no matter how rough it gets. Con: Terrified of heights and flying.

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

My mom is absolutely terrified of heights, to the point where she can't stand on a chair without someone holding it. On tables isn't happening. Ever.

But she's perfectly fine with flying, and does so at least a couple of times per year. I even offered to take her flying in a very small aircraft a while back, and she had no problem with the idea.
