What helped me as a kid is imagine to write. That’s my left hand and than I know which is which without thinking too consciously (in case you’re right handed, it’s the other way around obviously).

But interesting that you know absolute directions easily. That’s a cultural thing actually. I think Australian Aborigines will say things like “my western foot hurts” because it’s more intuitive for them that way.

If I learned anything in geography class than that west is on the left

Thanks for the context. Makes sense. Do you register each time anew? In that case I would assume people stick with what they registered for. But on the other side, people might register for voting a more moderate candidate and don’t want Trump and vote Democrats. I guess that’s what the post is about. Now I get it.

I don’t know how normal it is to be registered in the US but I would assume the target were moderate voters, not party members

I could ask my parents but I’m afraid it was a German collection of short stories

Why are you asking?

I found the cursed ones

Interesting. Good for you you skipped the toxic stuff

Sorry for your loss

So I assume you went from Twitter to mastodon?

No, the bullet will stop them

If 275 is half of 550, then what is half of 275?

Checkmate atheist

When people don’t learn roman numerals at school anymore…

It’s 10, plain and simple

Because the more you look for reasons, the realize there is none and that’s depressing

Because people who always ask “why” don’t achieve anything. Did you get nothing out of the story above?

As a kid, I had a book about a kid always asking “why?” and at some point, aliens came to conquer the earth. While everybody was freaked out, the kid just continued asking “why?”. “To exploit earth’s resources” “to conquer other words” “to exploit their resources too” “to conquer other galaxies” “to further our rule” “to conquer… well I see now that it’s all meaningless and we go home now.”

This is a story every child should read and don’t ask me why, it just is.

Plot twist: There is no police police. ACAB

This isn’t pedantic, it’s just a fun playing with word. And don’t even bother to call me a pedant for pointing this out.

Thank y*u
