Luck had nothing to do with it, bub. While you were out trying to finger fuck that fatty from the colorguard, I was at home teaching myself to code on a computer that I payed for myself on 1Mbs internet in 2008. Then when I got my first job in the software industry, for 4 years I worked for less than half the national average of a graduate with a BS and zero experience. That hard work allowed me to make enough to get told that I'm 'lucky' by those in the 'Yang gang' betting on basic income to solve their problems.
It's sad how you and people like you see yourselves as such victims of the system that you can't fathom what success because of hard work really is. Take responsibility for yourself, and you'll succeed. Otherwise you're as worthless to society and everyone around you as jews who cry about the 6 gorillion and niggers who scream about reparations. Have fun with that.

Ok, so you baught a computer and learned to code.
You got lucky someone would hire you without a BS
You got lucky the boomers didnt flood your industry
You got lucky losers in 2008 could sit inside clacking away and make it worth something
You got lucky you like that shit
You got lucky that industry had a boom 8 years prior
You got lucky that you could TEACH YOURSELF
You got lucky there was money tricking 8yo into spending their parenta cash
You got lucky evil men dumped shit tons of money into your industry to control everyone else
You got lucky bro. Not everyone gets lucky. I have worked my ass off my whole life. And you know what. 50% of everything is luck. Luck that you meet the people you meet, luck that you are where you are. Hard work increases your chances, but you got lucky.
What about people that aren't lucky? Or that have bad luck?
You know, you can shit on people that dont have an education, but you're lucky you don't have hard core dyslexia huh? You gonna shit on them and tell them to learn to code as the jobs they're capable of get hired out to foreigners?

It's your fault you are not where you want to be in life. An unfortunate truth you'll have to accept one day.
