I rather enjoy number 3, being as I’m in college because I actually want to learn and will probably be in debt 4ever over it. Whatevz, life is short.
Can we talk about how this is only ‘average’ to white middle class dudes a generation ago?
Can yougo to college without working your ass off to even be considered and driving yourself into an abyssal debt hole? You might be privileged!
Can you afford a nice vacation overseas, to a sheltered resort? You might be privileged!
Can you find and maintain a single 40-hour-a-week job (9-5, Monday through Friday) doing light office tasks? You might be privileged!
Can you be accepted for a mortgage? Can you afford one at all? Are you allowed to buy a home in an area that you feel safe and secure in? You might be privileged!
Can you work the same job long enough to get a lifetime excellence award, a gold watch, and a pension? You might be privileged! Also, it might be 1950.
This is only ‘average’ if you’re already on the lowest difficulty setting. The rest of us have to work really fucking hard to attain what this comic thinks is ‘average’ and ‘effortless’.
Ive had major gripes about this comic and how narrow minded and judgmental and exclusionary this comic was. How it was narrowly defining what success was and wasn’t. And more disturbingly, judging people’s character and quality.
This comment just explains the further issues wrong with this kind of attitude.

The Lone Pamphleteer: Emma Goldman on political acts of violence
“To simply condemn the man who has committed an act of political violence, in order to save my skin, would be as unpardonable as it would be on the part of the physician, who is called to diagnose a case, to condemn the patient because the patient has tuberculosis, cancer, or some other disease….

“And so the fundamental problem with Chrysler’s ad campaign is not its claim that it and Detroit are on the road to recovery together, or that its recovery is the result of some Heartland work ethic that most Americans have forgotten. These are stories designed to make us feel good, to make us believe that working hard will get you somewhere, and that we just need to work harder for things to get back to the way they used to be. But deep down we know that hard work isn’t the secret ingredient. Americans have never stopped working hard. Average productivity has increased roughly 2 percent every year since 1990, even during the crisis, while manufacturing productivity increased over 3 percent each year during the same period.”
