I don’t believe that’s true - handedness is a real thing. You might be able to learn to perform well enough with the other at something with practice, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a naturally dominant hand for most people.

I would watch him in anything, whatever his name is.

Ah, that makes sense

Interesting, I wonder what the difference is.

At the No Kings protests, I’ve noticed that it’s mostly the older folks whose signs and paraphernalia show the most effort. That might be at least in part because many are retired and have more time to put into it, but there’s a real vibe of “This is what I do - this is my job” to their protests.
- Comment on one may dream... 2 weeks ago:
Citation needed.
All of the folks I know who were progressive when younger are at least as progressive now.
There’s a very large minority of progressive boomers, and a similarly sized large minority of younger conservatives. The differences aren’t that huge. But there’s this narrative that all boomers are right wing assholes that everyone here seems happy to latch onto, while also condemning discrimination of pretty much any other group.
Well, except billionaires - I think we can all agree discrimination against billionaires is justified.

Have you been to a priest lately? It’s like 75 percent boomers around me. The stereotype of boomers all being conservative assholes is just that, a stereotype. Look at the results of the last few elections by age demographics: more older folks voted Republican than Democrat, but not by much.
- Comment on Anon thinks about Truman 3 weeks ago:
I think any attempt to continue that story would have been bullshit, like a continuation of Titanic. It came to a conclusion, let it be.
- Comment on Anon thinks about Truman 3 weeks ago:
And they didn’t try to make some stupid sequel, even though it was a big money maker. Amazing!
- Comment on Anon thinks about Truman 3 weeks ago:
That really was an interesting movie
- Comment on Nobody understands the point of hybrid cars 3 weeks ago:
I wanted to get an EV when I bought my last car, but I was planning to retire and do a a bunch of road trips. Yes, you can do cross country in an EV, but it’s harder in a lot of places and my friends have told me horror stories of getting to to charging stations and finding them broken, getting stranded.
My hybrid get 50 mpg highway, 43 city. That’s not as efficient as an EV, but it’s not terrible for a midsize sedan.

It’s because it’s all been so enshitified. Corporate profit optimization has just killed so much.
- Comment on Tight Pants / Body Rolls 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, I’m old. I got my CS degree in 1985 - so I was into computers pre-internet, certainly pre-world-wide-web. When the web started booming and everyone was making we pages with all sort of content, and when search engines were really trying to just find the stuff you were looking for with no other agenda, I was so full of hope. I thought this was really going to be a technology that could get information to anyone who wanted it, people would be more informed, and it would really bring us all closer together.
In other words, I was a naive dumb ass.

I miss the old Internet, but I’m happy to find old Internet content that I hadn’t seen.

Right - so?

This make me sad, English major or otherwise. I mean, you can look up at the moon and see when the far side is at least partially illuminated.

Oh, okay
- Comment on The way this egg peels in infuriating 1 month ago:
I think you misunderstood. Fresh eggs have that problem more. If you boil an older egg, the shell doesn’t stick as much.

For sure - I’m glad the guy in the OP seems to be getting to a better place. His prior state sounds pretty horrific.
- Comment on Anon makes some changes 2 months ago:
I’m an old guy and have been showering daily since I was young. I feel itchy when I go 48 hours without showering. Never had any significant skin issues.
But there’s a pretty big difference between every three days and every month.
- Comment on Anon makes some changes 2 months ago:
What must his teeth look like? And his breath smell like? Ugh.
- Comment on Anon makes some changes 2 months ago:
I feel gross when I skip a shower for a day - I can’t comprehend how I’d feel after a month.
- Comment on How come in movies tv shows books etc at court they make it seem like swearing on the bible prevents you from lieing? If my family or I was in danger I would lie my ass off to get out of it.. 3 months ago:
Deeply religious folks often believe that if you swear on a bible to tell the truth, then lie, you’ll go to hell. If you aren’t religious, it means nothing. For others it’s a spectrum in between.
- Comment on Where did this mic come from and how to make it go away? [Android] 3 months ago:
It’s likely for activating voice input, but you didn’t give the keyboard app permission to use the mic or something. Usually on keyboard apps there’s a key you long press to get to settings, and you might be able to get rid of it there.

Makes it sound like it’s part of your keyboard app
- Comment on Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face 3 months ago:
Doesn’t look like this will affect everyone. From the release:
- Content Filters: Discord users will need to be age-assured as adults in order to unblur sensitive content or turn off the setting.
- Age-gated Spaces – Only users who are age-assured as adults will be able to access age-restricted channels, servers, and app commands.
- Message Request Inbox: Direct messages from people a user may not know are routed to a separate inbox by default, and access to modify this setting is limited to age-assured adult users.
- Friend Request Alerts: People will receive warning prompts for friend requests from users they may not know.
- Stage Restrictions: Only age-assured adults may speak on stage in servers.
I don’t use any of those.

Where I am, they’re very often cut into rounds and served with a meal.
- Comment on Why are they different shapes? 4 months ago:
I have not and stand corrected
- Comment on Why are they different shapes? 4 months ago:
Apparently it’s just not a thing where I am. I’ve seen them used for little hors d’oeuvre things, but not for a meal-type sandwich.
I stand corrected.
