sabreW4K3Happy International Left š Handed Day
Notebook thing dont really make sense?cuz you flip it for the other page anyway
SolivinePanels 2 and 3 happened for me anyway despite not being left handed
I have seen lefties get in on their hand and I always wonder why they donāt turn the paper and write towards themselves. That was the hack I learned from early. It also solves the notebook ring problem.
Yes, I know some people who do this and itās easy if you do it from early on, but learning it later is like relearning writing altogether. It aināt impossible but neither is it easy
candyman337Yes but it happens EVERY time we write in pencil
Yeah but most of the time if you are just writing a fresh page itās gonna be in that orientation, especially like back in school where it might be for an assignment or something, so more often than not it would be like that
If you write on front and back pages, itās equally annoying to righties and lefties.
It isnāt really because when it gets in your way as a righty you can just switch to the next line and itāll look fine. As a lefty, itās in your way at the very start.
Lefties could just indent half the pages by the same amount.
Thatās usually what ends up happening but it doesnāt look as good
Fair enough. All lefties should write in Hebrew or Arabic.
If we switch to cuneiform we can solve panel 3 as well!
Binders suck extra bad
I had a left-handed friend in high-school that just oriented his notebook with the rings on the right (180 degrees rotated).
BatmanI flip my whole notebook over and use it back to front. Had a friend buy me one made that way for lefties once as a gift, it was actually really nice to have the cover face the right way for once!
I personally think that its not as much as an issue as thicker notebooks creating an uneven writing surface.
Being right handed, your hand is supported at the same level as the writing surface until the very end of a line, where you typically leave more space.
Being left handed, you start every line of writing without your hand being on the same surface as the writing surface, which especially sucks if you have issues with handwriting (which I annecdotedly notice is more common in lefties).
Was thinking the exact same thing
Yeah and arguably each person is equally at fault if they are sitting in a way where they bump elbows
Gsus4And who could forget grannyās: when youāre left handed, āYOUāRE THE LITERAL SPAWN OF SATANā ok, dear?
Iām stumped old people didnāt die on their stupidity.
Eh, living with themselves was punishment enough. Iām just sorry for the few level-headed outcasts who had to live thinking they were weird or pretending to fit in so they wouldnāt be persecuted.
Well the plot twist is, they were generally exceptionally smart at what they needed to know to survive. Itās easy to forget how difficult life was for average people up until fairly recently. Like less than a century ago. Education and literacy really werenāt a priority.
Iām not sure if not discriminating against lefties, homosexuals, ācoloredā, women in general, āwitchesā in particular, muslims, jews, basically anone non-Christian or even non-{insert denomination} counts as āeducation and literacyā.
Since handedness is genetic, there is a chance that thatās what she was told when she learned to use the right hand (pun intended)
ā¦stackexchange.com/ā¦/how-did-sinister-the-latin-wā¦ yea, stupid ideas are contagious and latch onto language and culture, apparently. In Italian, left is still āsinistraā.
One of my favorite theories, by no means provable, is that since the left side of the brain controls the right side of the body and also language (both of those are true actually), itās literally disparaging the side of the body it doesnāt control and praising the side it does, which is why so often āleftā develops negative connotations and ārightā positive ones.
Iāll gladly be a spawn of satan for people who discriminate over something as handedness
Go hang out with some Koreans (possibly other Asian people too), they will think you must be smart because of being left handed.
I think this meme is a Christian thing, although Muslims do reserve their left hand for the filthier things, so thereās that coincidence. But in Asia I donāt know any such precedent.
Da_BoomMy grandma is left handed, yes she now can write with both hands because they tried to beat it out of her, they did not succeed.
CÄtÄ š·š“šŗš¦š²š©šŖšŗ@Gsus4 In my country kids were beaten with rullers on their hands at school until they were able to write right-handed IIRC. Not sure if this brought to them anything else than trauma anyway.
BananaPealHey lefties, how do you feel about the right-hand-ification of Link from The Legend of Zelda?
don't care in the slightest. Why would I? I write with a different hand than most people, I'm not some kind of suppressed minority in need of media-representation.
No go on, letās run with it, itās really funny.
bnfdhfdhfdLeft erasure!
I donāt care much, but it is too bad that theyāve made him a bit more of a blank slate. Makes him a little blander.
IgnacioI'll always have "A Link to the past" in my memory, and some other derivatives from that game.
I agree with all but the left one. From my experience, I'm the only one NOT noticing how anyone writes while I get "oh, you're left-handed" constantly.
But the smudging part reminded me of something that happened to me:
I had a maths teacher who always had one of us do the homework on one of those overhead projector foil things and show them in front of class. I had a geometry task and would always smear the rewritable pen with my palms, or mess the lines up because I had to hold my hand awkwardly high. He did make me do it over and over again because he thought it was sloppy. My mum tried to talk to the teacher and the principal, that I as a lefty kind of faced an uphill battle there, so having me re-do it when I wasn't able to do it the first time was not really going anywhere. The teacher only told her that I needed to learn ways around my left-handedness. So she had me do the homework with a permanent marker. No smearing anymore. He even had a smug face on and was all like "See? You can do it after all". That smugness was gone when he tried to clean up the foil. No one said that he had to like the ways I found to deal with such BS.
Brit detected
Your detector is off.
murican detected. Assuming anyone non-american is a brit, lol. No brit would refer to anyone in a school as a āprincipalā.
#HeadTeacherGang
Born inferior
callyralWhat you said is not only very rude to left-handed people but also looks a lot like Eugenics.
Inferior how? Those are minot inconveniences
Not as meritorious as you, who are working hard on publishing your dumbfuck comments for everyone else to suffer secondhand embarrassment.
What the hell does meritorious mean.
Society and Jesus will never accept these freaks. Theyāre abominations.
ToroidalX I hate number 3 with passion. It happens to me all the time, you know, a leftie. Iām a leftie everyone! Isnāt being leftie the best thing in the world? Man we are the besā¦
The first three definitely. The last one not at all.
DasnapJust write upside down.
My favourite part is when people that Iāve known for a while go āyouāre left handed?ā
š this happens a lot
Donāt forget those who discover it on a regular basis
I use scissors exclusively with my left hand just to point out to any lefty around that you donāt need to buy special scissors.
As a lefty who didnāt get my first pair until my 40ās, they arenāt necessary but boy do they make cutting on a line WAY easier. Crazy differences in difficulty level for a clean cut.
It depends, most scissors now are practically ambidextrous. Some though, have really angled interiors of the handles that make them painful to use for an extended duration.
