I wonder what Kore's IME looks like to Kore.

Well I'm not going to say how it is in the US, because I don't really know.Mindlink wrote:You are aware that in the West, you put your ACTIVE hand out, so all lefthanded people shake with their left hand.

I mean, end of the day, I think most people probably don't really notice or care. But like with stocking the toilet paper over or under (over, you heathens, who wants to reach down and behind the roll?), there's totally a "right" answer. Ring on the left, "closest to your heart". Keys in your right pocket because that's the side the ignition is on. You're liable to be in and out of that pocket more which means watch goes on the left or you'll fray your pants pockets more quickly. I'll accept watch on the right for left-handers, but then you're keeping your keys in your left pocket.AXIS wrote: The way it's done here is you shake with your right, and wear a watch and wedding ring on your left.
I would have expected the US to be pretty similar, surprised it's not.
But then Australia did have a bit of a history of forcing left handed children to write with their right hand back in the olden days, maybe it's related to that.
wikipedia wrote:A handshake is a short ritual in which two people grasp one of each other's like hands, in most cases accompanied by a brief up-and-down movement of the grasped hands.
Using the right hand is generally considered proper etiquette. Customs surrounding handshakes are specific to cultures. Different cultures may be more or less likely to shake hands, or there may be different customs about how or when to shake hands.
You are kidding right? In India, they would never shake with their left as it is the arse wiping hand, that's why Indians only eat with their right hand.Mindlink wrote:You are aware that in the West, you put your ACTIVE hand out, so all lefthanded people shake with their left hand.

I hope that Kin remembers Minmax offering her his other hand...RidcullyJack wrote:New Zealanders also shake hands with our right hands, even if we're left-handed (like me). It's not like it's a difficult convention to master, if society expects it. It certainly looks weird Kore offering his left hand to shake.
Wedding ring on the left? - definitely. Only put a ring of protection +1 on the right.
Watch on the left? - Not so clear cut: a fair number of left-handers wear their watch on their right. I used to, but haven't worn a watch in years.
That's actually a really good point; focusing on just that -or even at all- will probably only make things worse.speakslittle wrote:I wonder what Kore's IME looks like to Kore.BuildsLegos wrote:Or more accurately, yet to be directly confirmed in a single page.

Not yet...RidcullyJack wrote:Nothing in the Wikipedia article about fictional dwarves and/or yuan-ti shaking hands then?
I'd be really annoyed if this turns out to be the case, but the only other solution I can think of is some variant of "for the greater good..."BuildsLegos wrote:Or more accurately, yet to be directly confirmed in a single page. I've been trying to tell you people for a while now that a perception-altering curse is the only way a paladin can both commit evil and keep their powers; the tabletop clerk at the mall said so! (Really, I asked about that and the details of Fumbles' accidental and regretful near-slaying of an innocent. Then when I was finally ready to buy some books with birthday money, they were gone.)
Wait...what? No, I like it. While I agree with the other poster that a perception-altering curse might be a bit of a letdown, it certainly appears to be the most plausible thing we've got going on. And it made me wonder what he thinks his IME is. Does he think it's angel wings, and he's getting a feather for every evildoer he slays? Does he know that it looks like the savagely bound souls of the creatures he has killed? What if it's even more nefarious and it's something like "just the non-evils"?BuildsLegos wrote:That's actually a really good point; focusing on just that -or even at all- will probably only make things worse.speakslittle wrote:I wonder what Kore's IME looks like to Kore.BuildsLegos wrote:Or more accurately, yet to be directly confirmed in a single page.

Yes, this image of someone leaning towards her (in this case Kore) to offer a hand may trigger this memory of Minmax reaching for her.Krulle wrote:@Thunt_Goblins wrote:
