“[W]hen we launch in a territory the Bittorrent traffic drops as the Netflix traffic grows. So I think people do want a great experience and they want access – people are mostly honest. The best way to combat piracy isn’t legislatively or criminally but by giving good options. One of the side effects of growth of content is an expectation to have access to it. You can’t use the internet as a marketing vehicle and then not as a delivery vehicle.”

- Ted Sarandos, Chief Content Officer at Netflix (via laliberty)

Look, someone who gets it.

If you make your character left handed...

Some everyday things you can include in your writing to make your character more beliveable:

    •    Most knives and scissors have the edge on the opposite side. We use ‘blunt’ or customized blades most of the time. May sound as a little thing, but really annoying. This also goes for swords, bows and some other weapons.

    •    Left handed people need left handed music instruments (guitars, violins…)

    •    Left handed writers tend to ruin fountain pen nibs, because they have to push them instead of pulling it on the paper. They also have to write in a weird postition because otherwise they’d smudge the ink. Some of them write from the top to the bottom, even if they use european languages.

    •    being left handed was considered ‘devil’s mark’ or ‘wrong’ and people were forced to use their non-dominant hand until very recently. Keep this in mind if you writing historical fiction.

    •    Left handed people tend to do circular movements in the opposite direction. If they have to draw the circle or seasons, they mostly draw it in a mirrored way. This also cause small everyday issues with locking or opening doors or using analog-style clocks.

    • In swordfights or fencing, left handed have an advantage because most people train against righties.

    •    Left handed people put the computer mouse on the opposite side, and we have to switch the button settings.

    •    Left handed people normally eat with their left hand, so they make the table the opposite way and they may accidentaly bump elbows with right handed at the table.

________________________

I, S am left handed. Although a lot of those points make sense to me, I think I need to make a point. Not everyone is this extreme with their leftieness. For example I write left handed but I do everything with my right. I throw a ball with my right, play cricket with my right. It depends on the person.

The most annoying thing is can openers. I can’t use them, it takes me ages to open the hotdogs as they don’t seem to work for me. Knifes aren’t a problem for me as I use my right hand.

Followers? Any experiences to add?

I’m the same as S here. While I’m a left handed, I do most things with the right side of my body. And the mouse of my computer is on the common side.

Something that really annoys me is handwriting. I don’t like having to write in a weird, awkward position, so I just don’t, and the left side of my hand gets dirty as hell.

I’m also able to write from right to left, that way you can only read things while holding them next to a mirror.

i have a left-handed main character and im making a comic can someone please send me either a gif or video of someone writing because this just made me way more confused about that and im fucking lost now

Just fyi, I’m left-handed, and I don’t do half this shit. My computer mouse was on the right back when I had one (I use a laptop now), I use normal knives and scissors and things (though this does result in me fucking up things like slicing bread), and I play guitar right-handed because right-handed guitars are more common and it honestly doesn’t make a huge difference to me. I will say that the bit about your hand getting dirty as you write is true, plus you tend to smear ink all over the page, and when I sit down for dinner at a crowded booth or something, I try to make sure to sit on the end with my left arm pointing into the open air so I won’t bump elbows with people.

Ugh the writing thing is the worst! I had a professor once tell me that watching me write looked “painful” because of the way I hold a pen, apparently. The side of my left hand is almost always covered in blue or black ink (or a fabulous rainbow if I’ve been colouring!). Even though I’m a lefty, I use scissors and a computer mouse with my right hand. Actually, I only found out recently about the knife thing and my parents have made fun of me for years about my “inability” to cut things properly and it’s like A-HA it’s not me! It’s the right-handed establishment trying to “cut” me down!

About the only thing that’s true for me is I struggle to use right-handed tin openers and scissors (some right-handed scissors at school were actually painful for me to use left-handed, and impossible for me right-handed, yet no teacher actually believed me) and my hand/arm getting covered in ink when writing. Despite having used fountain pens since I was 9, about the only times I’ve ruined the nibs on them was when I was 9, along with all the other kids regardless of what their dominant hand was, and that was because we were 9 and learning to use freaking fountain pens.

If anything I’d say the one thing most lefties I’ve met have in common is that we can switch more easily between our left and right hands than righties, but that’s just a consequence of practice through living in a world set up for righties.
