Middle class kids like me can get one throw every decade maybe. I’m about to throw a dart again.

I’m aware lots of things had to have happened for me to even be able to do this. Primarily that my parents without college degrees experienced a once in a lifetime economic growth story in a country that suddenly became rich in their lifetimes. And that I have a passport that lets me go anywhere i want.

And unlike many other middle class kids in my country with almost exactly the same life and financial situation, I also have more darts because

Not having to be financially responsible for my parents (because they are economically comfortable without me) is a huge gift they gave me. I give them money for fun but it’s not like many of my friends who have to keep their own family and their parents and siblings fed.

I also went to schools surrounded by people with lots of darts and have learned that I can take theirs sometimes. Many of my classmates even owned dart factories.

@skinnylatte One can really expand on this whole dart dealio. Cishet women can sometimes pick up a male partner's unused dart.
