Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

There's that one person (well, more than one) that just posts sooooo much that even if you block them, their absence makes reading/understanding threads a little screwy.

Look, I'm a very fast typist and procrastinating at work.

You're gonna have to work a lot harder to get me to block you.

There is always looking at the forum logged out if you have to, though I have found that the ones I have blocked, I am pretty happy to have done since they were purposefully trying to be annoying as possible. Maybe that is just their personality or something it is still way too grating to put up with.

I've always liked that quote about Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire... Everyone talks about what a great dancer he was, but she did everything he did, only backwards, and in heels...
Sometimes they just don't get that we live in a right-handed world, and have to learn to do everything they do, but with our off hand... Ask a right-handed person to do anything with their left hand, and...

I write and hold eating utensils with my left hand (but use either hand pretty regularly for finger foods), but do most everything else with my right hand. Anytime I learn to do something new that handedness matters, I have to go through the "is this the usual use my right hand or is this a left handed situation?" process to figure out which hand to use.

I think I already told this story on here, but when I was in basic training for the Army and first learned to shoot a rifle, the drill sergeants asked "who is left handed here?" and so I raised my hand. They gave me an adapter to make sure the expended brass didn't launch into the side of my face and proceeded to teach me to shoot like a left handed person would, which I was absolutely terrible at. After wasting a morning, they finally went back a step and had me check to find I was right eye dominant and should be shooting like a right handed person. Which of course meant a bunch of pushups for not knowing and wasting their time.

This reminds me of Dad’s joke about health care during his Army Air Corps basic training, in 1943:

You could have trenchfoot, in which case they’d swab your feet with iodine.

You could have strep throat, in which case they’d swab your throat with iodine.

If neither of those cured you, they’d throw you in the brig for impersonating an officer.

I'm left eye dominant but shoot right-handed, because the majority of rifles aren't fully ambidextrous. Hot brass down the shirt SUUUUUUUCKS. There was a time when I was equally inaccurate with either side, but slowly lost that.

And yes, I did mean inaccurate. I'm an OK shot but no matter how much I try, I can't seem to get any better. Same with a bow. I seem to be a pretty good instinctive archer but draw, hold, aim, loose doesn't seem to be any better for me than draw-loose in one motion. Drove my high school gym teacher nuts as I seemed to have been the only person who started with a clue about which end of the bow went where, at the start. Same person who tried to make me be a right shooter. I was better off flipping the bow over and making do.

Do you have an astigmatism?

I swear to god, we have this same issue the last half of Q4 every.single.year.

I cannot naughty word fathom how you people have not figured it out by now.
