You are very special. Do you meet a lot of different people? Like, different countries, adults with parents from other socioeconomic backgrounds, people with chronic diseases, all of that stuff? Because, to me, it really seems like you don't.
- charcircuit 5y agoYes, I'm in a lot of discord servers. I have talked to people from many countries. I have even talked to others using their native language. I'm sure that I've encountered people from different socioeconomic backgrounds and people with chronic diseases.
- tiagod 5y agoAnd you think discord users are a good sample of the population? It's absolutely not true that not everyone could just pick a skill like programming and work on it until they're employable, especially as many people need to start working as soon as possible to be able to survive. If you had to work 50h/week plus 3-4h commute every day, how would you study programming exactly? If you didn't have access to a computer, how would you do it? If everyone around you made it seem like it's an activity out of your reach, how would you figure out it's not?
