    I still have one working hand, and I can walk.

    I seem to be pretty good at English, which is definitely a leg up on billions of people.

    I’m actively protected, respected, and cared for by my insular community.

    I’m skilled with a microphone and can make whole audiences cackle.

    These advantages are enough that I needed to be nerfed in some incredibly heinous ways, and yet I still have such an advantage that I’m usually first- or second-ban in the draft.

      not to be snarky, but i wonder how much of an advantage this is, is it the world’s default language? should it serve that purpose?

        It’s the default language for international business, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that flips to Mandarin in twenty years, the way things in general are going.

        But I’m not gonna lie, I wish I cool read ich_iel and get the humor so bad.
