Left handed for everything.
Any city gets what it admires, will pay for, and, ultimately, deserves…We want and deserve tin-can architecture in a tinhorn culture.

It used to be standard operating procedure for teachers to force lefties to learn to write right-handed. No reason, it was just "wrong" to write left-handed. It probably was leftover from Medieval superstitions. IIRC, in most Islamic countries they still force students to write right-handed. In Indonesia (again, IIRC), they'll actually bound a leftie student's left hand so he's forced to learn how to work right-handed. What's a crippling deformity compared to a primitive superstition, anyway, right?Rogue 9 wrote:Result of the various foolish superstitions about left handers, or what?Temjin wrote:I guess you could say that I'm right handed, but I was born left handed.
Either my parents or one of teachers forced me to learn to write with my right hand.

That actually happened to my father, they bound his left hand to his chair if he dared to write with the left hand.RedImperator wrote:It used to be standard operating procedure for teachers to force lefties to learn to write right-handed.

Stubborn as ever - Let's hope it pays off this time.
Only Right is right!
I suspect it's a mixture of superstition/tradition and not being bothered to inventing or buying stuff for lefties to use for writing or whatever better.It used to be standard operating procedure for teachers to force lefties to learn to write right-handed.

Right handed, masturbate with both hands but always finish on my right, dunno why. Is it possible that the reason my right arm is so in shape even though I do no physical work, because I masturbate so much? Hmm
History? I love history! First, something happens, then, something else happens! It's so sequential!! Thank you first guy, for writing things down!

And only on SD.net (or some porn usergroup on USENET) could the subject of ambidextrous masturbation come up.

Same here, but in my case it's because the box of tissues is on my left so it's easier to reach with my left hand.Super-Gagme wrote:Right handed, masturbate with both hands but always finish on my right, dunno why.

Lusankya: Deal!
Say, do you want it to be a threesome with your wife? Or a foursome with your wife and sister-in-law? I'm up for either.

Left-handed, all the way.
What I REALLY want is a right-handed throttle quadrant...
EDITed to switch throttle quadrant orientation
Why in Valen's name would they? While there ARE a number of Mice fitted for the right hand, there's also any number that's neutral, and since switching button functions is a software option, what's the problem? (And that's assuming you need to, I'm a southpaw and I manage with the usual button layout just fine).KrauserKrauser wrote: Do they make left hand mice?

Same. My left hand can hardly even hold things without dropping them. When I walk I don't swing my left arm.Gandalf wrote:I'm right handed in everything.
My left has no co-ordination whatsoever.
All the girls I'v ever gotten close to however have been Left handed. with exception to my Melbourne girl who's ambidexterous, but writes with her left hand so she's left handed enough :p
I am right handed in everything except for masturbation and using the mouse. For those, I am ambidexterous.

I believe that they do, but the whole thing seems to be a waste to me, as I can use just about any mouse just fine with my right hand. In fact, it seems harder to use my left hand to control them.KrauserKrauser wrote:Left handed for writing. Right handed for eating. Right handed for whacking it. Still consider myself left handed.
