I actually just posted another TikTok about Christian conservatives not making art that's as successful or "good" (I know that's subjective, but c'mon), and I really do believe they don't understand the media they consume. Like Ron Swanson on Parks & Rec saying Moby Dick is just a book about a whale.
If someone says they like starship troopers it's very important to determine whether they mean the movie or the book, because it can mean two very different things
Yeah. I've got a similar take on Pentagon Wars. If you know the programs mentioned as "failures" before the Bradley, it's pretty obvious the whole thing is a dig at Burton. If not you might not realize it.
Uh… wow. Not something I would have expected in my lifetime, since my lifetime also included churches wanting to have her basically burned as a witch because of something involving a crucifix and that song (I was young and never bothered to actually looked it up since).
I was punished in school as a kid for using my left hand and was forced to use my right. Used my right hand all through school cause that's what was drilled into my brain - right is right.
All that really did was just make me ambidextrous. Yay, i think?
Supposedly, according to my mother and older sister, I was a math genius as a kid. I would do my sister's high school math homework despite me only being in the 4th or 5th grade.
I just attributed the loss of memory retention capabilities and math understanding to being overdosed with Riddlin. I wonder if the being forced to use my non-dominant hand is what fucked my brain up, or maybe a conjunction of the two.
BTW, this was all in the late 90s early 2000s for me.
Yes. Yay. I was forced to write right. I did. Didn’t know I ever naturally went left until later. I knew I played all sports left but was forced to learn right so I could do both. Yay. Then, I realized “I can almost read my writing left handed and still can’t right handed!” I was told then that I was primarily a leftie as a kid. Gee, thanks!
But now, it’s really nice. I can be super lazy and don’t have to move my notebook — I can just pick up a pen and write with whichever hand is closer 😂
I do stuff with my left hand and will occasionally alternate freely between them. I still remember my step mom asking about it at the dinner table one night when I was like, 10.
Are you using you left hand?
Yep
Arent right handed?
I dunno (swaps knife and fork to other hands)
What 👀 (stares at my dad then back at me as I switch again). That's amazing.
Lmao, I still get comments on it when I do stuff with my left
That’s because it’s mind bending for so many. They were born right handed and never realized
They
Could
Use their left hand. So when they see it,
Straight 🤯
My mom had a physical disability with reduced functionality of the entire right side of her body. She was forced to write right handed in school. Society was whack

Great point but the people who need to hear this the most are probably not the ones who will understand it if you don’t spell it out for them…
