Are you taking anything for granted?

(what's left of) My youth
My holy sweetness JC
Civil Liberties, everyday politicians slowly erode away the innate protections that people are afforded for the sake of their own agenda. (I am a US citizen.)
The ability to talk shit and criticise (to a point) our Gov. Worse under the Liberals of course… after visiting China for a 2nd time, I realise our freedoms are much greater. Most people don’t realise this and we get duped on levels we really shouldn’t let political / economic / corporate / media institutions get away with.
Clean water. Right out of my tap.
Friendlyjordies podcast episodes at least once a week
The fact that I can live in a country where Greens voters can call me a zionist for supporting Labor. FML but atleast thats proof of SOME sort of freedom of speech
I have every comfort and security on earth, but have never been in love. But I’ll be dead in 35 years, and then it won’t matter anymore.
War free country, clean water, access to health care, employment and education opportunities
Financial security. You can lose it all in old age
I don't live on the street. That's pretty cool
Absolutely everything
Welfare
A safe home with 4 walls as a respite from a world that is uncaring.
hands
Sleep
No.
Medical marijuana...
Jimmy. It sounds like this post was for the other patreon😮
That we atleast a Labor majority government not some slimmy community greens coalition
The fact that I'm a friendly jordies patron. Obviously.
The fact we only have to worry about two political leaders with the charisma of a potato and a cabbage. Imagine being in America right now.
American here, we’re so fucked 😃
Yes. My health and wellbeing
The fact that I live in a country where despite not getting many hours at work I can still get by.
My wife giving birth in a hospital a few weeks ago that wasn’t likely to be blown up by an air strike.
My stable employment, and mostly-functional government support structures.
I'm moving to the UK next month for a couple years and I'm curious to see what I've taken for granted here when I go.
You're in for a shock my Dad just came back from England and Brexit fucked the place up bad.
All modern comforts. Survival on this rock is tough. Sewage systems? Access to clean water, mostly reliable access to food and electricity? I constantly need to remind myself to be grateful for the ability to turn on a tap or a light
Time
This is going to sound weird, but I'm taking for granted that I'll be long dead before the environmental shit really hits the fan. I despair at the great opportunities my generation squandered. We were so hopeful in the 60s, and now we're the a...holes that're running the world.
Easy access to clean drinking water, I could do to be more grateful for it tbh
I hope not. I am greatful for the small events in life that make a big impact though. I am greatful for solutions and problem solvers and people that are willing to take a risk to help others.
Fuck yea self help on the FJ
Being able to walk to the store and get legal weed whenever
The fact that my position and it's associated comfort could be reset to square 1 with ease
Probably the fact that i have enough money to get something in the Schoolastic catalogue, yet choose to buy Take 5 magazines instead.
My teeth, haven't been to a dentist in over 20 years because I haven't been in a position to afford private health insurance.
Probably a lot.
Not being in a gutter sucking dick to afford a down payment on a vent grate
My immune system
My talents and what I'm good at and also my health.
I just finished reading say nothing about the troubles in Ireland, I would have to say living somewhere where extremism isn't the norm, with our politics yes thing could be a bit better or worse depending on who is in but our problems seem insignificant next to other places
Health, it can be taken away in an instant, and basic freedom and safety
Most definitely, but I do try to be thankful for what I have. Growing up in a two parent household in the the most secure nation in the world.
Should probably make clear I'm American. Just realized many others are gonna be Aussies here.
If so, clearly I wouldn't realise.
My friends and family loving me
That even though my house is full of mould, at least I'm nor homeLESS
Probably that I have a full time public service job, constant work, good money, good perks, good super etc…🤷♂️
Same here, the perks of a government job mean I'll never be unemployed and I have a strong union that will always have my back
That my body still functions relatively well. Also that we aren't America YET and there's a chance we can avoid it
What do you mean by not America yet? I don't mean any hostility but as an American, just curious.
Yeah, Jordies Friendly reels!
Depends on what you mean. Healthcare being affordable, pay being pretty alright all things considered, living in bizarro world where we have Labor in at the state level for near a decade
Yea but it sounds like you didn't have to spend all night learning to be straight again, 😞 fuck 01/07.
Probably the fact that I have ongoing work
Probably that I will work until I drop dead
I’m taking everything in life for granted. I am a very average person in an even more average world. But I act like I am the king shit who looks like Chris Hemsworth, borrowed time.
Not having an LNP coalition govern the country.
It’s too early for these thoughts.
What're you, some kind of 'sleeper'?
Yeah. Being Australian
