In a lot of ways I was dealt a good hand, but I also know the work I put in and feel justified in defending that

2. Doesn't really matter cause you have one job and no kids. When you have those kids and you're still planning all your meals down to the nickel then you can brag.

Fair enough

I have family members who run to deal with stress. They're still *******s.

Doesn’t mean that it can’t work for others

Wow not recognizing your own privilege and bragging about how hard you worked to get where you are is such a unique thing for a privileged person to do, good job friend.

Everyone on this forum is privileged, that should go without saying. So why not talk about what we do with it

It’s a very white thing of you to say that it’s a white thing of me to say

kale is cheap from when I bought that and would throw in my ramon noddles

frozen berries are about 8 bucks for a big 3 or 4 lb bag think, not sure on that one. i just buy because its healthy asf and even if its $15 still a good price

You can get frozen berries cheaper at Dollar Tree. There's one near me where I buy frozen blueberries for $1 a pound. Maybe there's one near you? Shop there for your frozen berries and save some $.

1) Not everybody comes from a background that gave them the same opportunities.

2) A lot of people don't like being held accountable for their own lives because then they have to admit that they are somewhat responsible for their dissatisfied position.

3) Preach on about affordable and healthier life decisions and etc. but fat shaming is still dumb. If I remember right, It's actually been proven to be much much more harmful when you make fat people feel like **** for being fat all the time. The whole economy bit is just an excuse to be an *******. Fat people are no bankers.

Is there an agreed upon victimisation level at which personal accomplishments start to matter? Do you just have to be a minority, or are only visible minorities allowed? Is there some kind of special liberal paper bag test? What if you're super black but middle-class? What if you're white and middle class but are gay and have some kind of mental illness? What if you're trans but you grew up in an unusually accepting family and neighbourhood? How are those things visualised? Venn diagrams?

That's the spirit.
