Is Left or Right better?

Postby Experina » Fri Jan 17, 2025 6:59 am

Many of us have definitely argued about Left wing and Right wing politics, and all of that, but this thread is for the discussion of Left and Right, in a directional sense.

Yeah, you heard me correctly, this is not a politics thread.

So, NSG, which direction do you think is better? Up? Down? Left? Right?
Let me know.

I think that in my personal opinion, Up is the best direction, it's the shortest word of them all, and We humans anyways have a bias with things being Up.

Does forward count? Because forward could mean the sphere of everything you can interact with In front of you, a whole half sphere that encompasses left, right, up and down.

I guess North, East, South, West could also count, alongside with forwards, backwards in the discussion of directions.

Well I’m right handed and world is built for right handers (by right handers) so that obviously means that’s the right way as ordained by god. I mean that’s why left handers are so sinister.

I would offer for the consideration of the thread the 4th dimensional directions ana and kata. If forward is positive movement along the x axis, up is positive movement along the y axis, and right is positive movement along the z axis, then ana is positive movement along the w axis, and kata is negative movement along that axis.

Ever climbed a tree, or otherwise stood over the puny pawns around you? I have a fear of heights and even I can recognize the legitimacy of upward supremacy, and I don't let it stop me from experience the most divine direction because of this.

Left. Because I’m left-footed (at least my dad is) and because of my politics. But also it’s cooler.
I am an anarchist/libertarian socialist. Policies of my country roughly reflect my views IRL. Click below for more information on my political views, which are specifically about my views with relation to the conflict between Israel and Palestine.
FUCK ISRAEL! I support peace, therefore I stand with Palestine. I want a bi-national solution, a state in which Jews and Palestinians can coexist peacefully. The onus is on Israel to stop this - it can do it anytime by bringing a ceasefire and ending apartheid.

I feel like diagonal doesn't get enough love. I personally like it, and there's many different words for it. Kitty corner, cattycorner, cattacorner, kitty wampus, it's all of em!
Oh, wowee, I have a signature now! I dunno what to put in here...

So, any pronouns are fine by me. I am NOT taking this game seriously, so don't expect me to. If you're rude I'm probably gonna hold a grudge, it's a habit. If you like the flag, please read my Flag Credits Factbook. Otherwise, have an amazing day!

P.S. If I'm on an F7 thread, then don't make a comment on my flag. People who did it before I put this in the signature are in the clear, but as I said, someone else made this flag, and it has no real reasoning to my real life character.

How dare you make me choose? It's utterly disrespectful of you! I have cross-dominance. I discovered this by age 9, when all the boys bullied me because I was right-handed, but always was shit at football. Then I kicked the ball with my left foot and scored three goals in that gym class. Since then, I've been proud living in peace with my both sides, and I won't accept any kind of forced normativization that really disregard my life experience.

Cross dominant here as well. It sucks, man. I'm a great shot with my left side, but manipulating the weapon is much harder on my left side. Been practicing writing with my left hand recently to see if I can get more dexterity in that side.
