I was forced to use my right hand for everything once I started elementary school. So I write, play guitar, and bowl with my right hand. But I also do all those things slightly better and more comfortably with my left hand.

Makes sense to me.

    My grandpa was left handed, but in his time (the 20’s) the nuns slapped him on his hand with a yardstick every time he tried doing something left handed. So the episode was believable for my family.

    I can’t imagine being a kid, followed around by nuns daily as they attempt to beat the left handedness out of me.

    what i can't imagine is being the adults who think it's worth giving a single fuck about, how fucked up do you have to be to treat kids that way?
    It always makes me think of my grandpa, who was by all means raised in the kind of culture where that kind of thing might happen, but by the magic of being a basically good person he hit my dad ONCE and felt absolutely terrible about it and never did it again.

    like i get that people were raised to think differently in the past, but i don't buy that you can be raised into accepting child abuse.

    Did you know the Mormons don't like red hair? They also didn't want me to dye it... So basically they would prefer I just didn't exist.

    ... No? People love shitting on the Mormons, but that doesn't mean spreading misinformation is okay. They have nothing against red hair. Been a member of the church my entire life and I think this is one of the stupidest thing I've heard.

    I mean it's not as common as tracking people who don't come to church but yeah it absolutely happens,
