  • Well we have long winters. That shit has an effect on humans who stay at these latitudes for longer times. In every sense, evolutionarily (light skin, blue eyes), culturally (we’re introverted as fuck) and personally (if you don’t supplement vitamins properly, mainly D, you will get at least slight changes to mood and whatnot).

    I’d like to visit some actually Southern place, like in the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Africa or Southern Asia or Australia. First to just see a proper sunset. Secondly, to see whether not everyone is as much of a dick as people I generally have lived around all my life.







  • In practice it lead to mega rich foreigners buying up all the water rights in Australia and preventing anyone from using them which created artificial scarcity and drove up prices. These mega rich foreigners then sold Australians their own water back to them at exorbitant prices.

    Oh hey I’ve seen this movie










  • While I would like to think of myself as something rare and shiny, I’d like to admit that I don’t actually identify as “truly” ambidextrous.

    It’s perhaps more accurately “mixed-handedness”, and while I have quite a few of the benefits of what an truly ambidextrous person would, I also have some negatives that a person with one clear dominant side wouldn’t. I think the benefits outweigh the negatives for me, but I don’t think everyone would necessarily agree. And ofc it depends on your degree of mixedness, basically.

    It’s much more common, being reported in this study at a rate of 13.49% while left-handedness was 7.14%.

    For instance I used to do frisbee golf (disc golf?) quite a lot more, and long throws obviously with my right, although I could do them a bit with my left. But then my left wrist (what I mostly write with) is stronger so when I put the disc, left was often more reliable. So then if it was between a put and a medium range throw, I’d have problems choosing which hand to throw with.

    Then again writing on a blackboard, sorry, whiteboard is what they are nowadays, I start with my left but finish with my right.

    And when I cook for instance, which hand holds the product and which cuts is mostly a matter of how I’m facing or what hand the knife happens to be closer to. I can also shoot from both sides, although my right-eye does seem more dominant.

    Coincidentally my preferred gender is sort of slightly fluid as well and/or mixed but my presentation is 99% of the time mostly masculine. I don’t live in the most progressive society in terms of attitudes towards LGBTQ+ people.
