Do you even sort of hear yourself?

You know the two aren't mutually exclusive?

And what do you, dear commenter, exactly do before drooling off to sleep that is so much more productive? Seriously hope it's not watching Netflix, wasting your time reading fiction, or God forbid, spend time on social media such as HN.

Wake up, tackle the biggest challenges the world has today, go to work, go home to do some more tackling in your free time up until you fall asleep.

If I sound annoyed, I am. This is what privilege looks like: people who have it easy in life, judging the fuck out of people who don't and aren't "doing their part".

I don't use tiktok for what it's worth and I don't care if it disappears, but jeez, attitude.

You are right. "Drooling off to sleep" is a condescending way to put it. I don't want to be condescending - my goal is not to judge people who don't have it easy in life. However, I think it is important that the people who do have it easy in life to realize that, realize the luxuries that they have and not take them for granted. I want people to utilize the resources they have to do good in the world.

But thank you. I should be more empathetic
