Well you should know, there's a lot of bullshit on reddit and you shouldn't believe everything you read there or anywhere else on the internet.

I can't afford candy. A candy bar at the Walmart is $1.25. I have to make my own confections. They fuckin suck.

Try this: prepare 2 boxes of great value brownie mix in massive 9x13 roasting pans. Put 1 bottle of great value off branded vanilla flavored corn syrup and 5 cups of sugar to a pan and heat it to 320F. Add 2 sticks of great value butter and 1 pint of great value whipping cream. Stir until smooth. Dump in 1 jar of great value honey roasted peanuts and stir then dump it all onto the brownies, half and half. Wait a couple of minutes for it to skin over the top and dump on 2 bags of great value milk chocolate chips, one on each pan,then cover both pans for a while until the chocolate melts and very lightly run a spatula across the top to smooth it out without messing up the caramel layer. Put in the refrigerator until the chocolate sets up hard. Cut each pan into 16 bars.

It will remind you of a time a long time ago back when you could afford candy.

Holy shit

Depending on where they are and how much they want to pay, they can get it.

(Also US banks are about 15 years behind the rest of the world. I was in Korea 20 years ago and the farm stands in the countryside took electronic payments and I could spend dollars.)

Gotta drink something

Nah

You should have said that. If I can't access banks, it's a way different picture.

Compounding that is the notion of privilege, which exists. I'm a cisgendered white male with a university degree and I speak English natively, I don't have a persistent mental illness or a chronic disease, and I don't have a physical handicap. The deck is stacked in my favor no matter where I am in the world. Taking away enforced regulations on housing, employment, and banking makes things easier for me, not harder. It's way, way, way different if you belong to a group with less social power.

The phrase has been corrupted from its cold war origins to mean (putting it politely) the "developing world". Whereas I've moved countries seven times, I've seen a lot of places, and I can say from experience that outside of specific prejudicial circumstances (being a woman in Iran, Uyghur Muslim in China, being anyone in North Korea, for example) there are paths to success everywhere.

It's cute that you assume I wouldn't. OP never said anything about that.

Denmark was supposed to have revoked her citizenship due to an administrative error surrounding whether her father was a citizen when she was born and that decision was reversed. She wasn't the only one, and it had nothing to do with her comments on Facebook. The notion that she had lost her citizenship due to Facebook posts came from a reddit thread. That part was never true.
