I ' ve been wanting to make a cheesecake but hadn ' t been able to decide on which kind . I now know what it must be . Thank you for helping me solve a problem I had been facing . <| sep |> Thank you so much and all great points . It seems that when this discussion comes up , your point is lost in the weeds of hard work , determination , and selfreliance . Two important takeaways 1 . There are differing degrees of privilege and there is no uniform cutoff for what constitutes ' privileged ' and ' unprivileged '. In general , privilege is an extension of the support you mentioned and how it has helped you succeed in life . 2 . Privilege isn ' t a bad thing , it just needs to be recognized in order for us to properly compare life experiences and needs .
