This place is full of fucking morons. Apparently it's not impossible to decipher the meaning of the thought, because the subs moderators were able to do it successfully. If they'd been as confused as some of these other people, it would have been removed for being a nonsensical statement. I'm obviously not calling the ambidextrous people disabled, although it's become exceptionally clear that I should have written it differently. Still, what the fuck is so hard to grasp about this?

There's a thousand different people with a thousand different nitpicks, and the whole shitload of people who think I'm calling ambidextrous people disabled or saying they don't literally exist. I feel like these people are going to experience their own shower thought and they're going to suddenly realize what the fuck I actually intended to say, not that I haven't written it out a half dozen times at this point.

But I don't understand is why somebody would be lurking in a place specifically designed for mindless thoughts (they actually specify that it's the sort of thought you would get while staring blankly at a wall) and then complain about the quality of the submissions. And I'm supposed to be the idiot, because I think people should be able to use both of their hands.

I figured this out when I was a tween. Another one is we find time goes faster as we age (for most), that’s because a year when you’ve lived ten years, a year is 10% of your life experience (in years). And when you’ve lived 20 years, a year seems faster because a year is now only 5% of your life experience, and so on, and so on. Math can be fun sometimes

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities defines disability as:

“long-term physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments which in interaction with various barriers may hinder [a person's] full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others.”

So no. Having a dominant hand is not a disability. Most definitions agree that having a disability means being unable to perform major life activities without accommodations. Being right- or left-hand dominant isn’t a disability really by any serious definition

And frankly, what you’ve posited is a little offensive. It’s bs like this that presents barriers to getting support for people who actually do have disabilities

I'm honestly not sure if people don't get the joke or what. I mean, it's not hilarious but it wasn't mean spirited. The guy is typing with his left hand, which is what guys who are jerking off do. How did a hundred people think it was some sex negative anti masturbation thing? This whole thread is insanity.
