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.

There are no moderator removed responses in this thread.

I work with many writers who have ADHD. Editing is central to the writing process.

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.)

You just have to do it. People talk about writer's block and it's a real thing. Sometimes you have to force yourself to produce. Will it be good? Maybe, maybe not. But your objective isn't to write good, that's what editing is for. No matter how good you think it is, your writing isn't good until you edit it. And nobody talks about editor's block.

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.

Spend my dollars on an apartment and a house cleaner, start networking with other folks, get a job. It's not hard.
