I really only clicked on this because I’m a lefty. My gripes are finding a left handed glove second hand. I swing right handed so no problems there! Only other bad things are eating next to right handed people and smudging papers.

I'm right-handed and multilingual and when writing on paper (which I don't do much these days) I find writing in Hebrew (right-to-left) tends to smudge a lot more than English (left-to-right). So I always wondered if people from places with right-to-left written languages are more likely to be left-handed (but AFAICT they're not).

I started listening to cortex this August, and rapidly going from when Grey first told Myke about Obsidian and how against it Myke was to now Myke saying it's "game changing" is the story arc I never anticipated but am overjoyed to hear (I also switched to Obsidian and I love it)! Edit: And the episode comes to a close with Grey rattling off a list of songs I love 😂

There’s another song, from the Chicken Fried album that is perfect for Grey May like. “Sic em on a Chicken”. I swore off of country back in 2016 due to some unfortunate political associations. But this song is something I’m familiar from my childhood.

Yeah being a lefty sucks, especially in sports. Every piece of sporting equipment has be custom made, or you have to go through hoops in order to find it. Indiana Jones style, and whenever you do find the stuff you need, everyone immediately calls you "the lefty" and points it out like you are an exotic animal. It's like, dude, I'm just trying to play here! Absolutely a struggle.
