    They should have used it to kill whoever sent the email with everybody in the “To” header in the first place. BCC exists for a reason

      Early in my career I was a sysadmin for a multiuser system, and I often had to go to people’s desks to troubleshoot problems they were having. That meant using whatever pointing device and keyboard they had. There were a crazy number of variations, including left handed setups of different types. It was actually an interesting part of the job. But yes, some left handed folks do that, as did some people who had issues with their right hand/arm.

        Not left handed, but I think that if I was going to switch, it makes sense to move the primary button to the index finger.

      I did when I was younger. Had better fine motor skills with my “primary” hand. Eventually as I started playing more PC games and using computers at school more I got tired of always having to move the mouse around and having to reconfigure keybinds for every game (where it was even possible to do so). So I adapted to right handed mouse somewhere around 14 years old.

      Beyond that, in my time in IT support, I think I encountered only three people who did left handed mice.

        Old people over a certain age were forced to be right hand dominant as children because jesus. There’s this weird thing when the computer age happened some found themselves using mice left handed but didn’t know why

      That’s probably because the artist is likely to be right handed and so oriented everything to the right hand side of the comic. If they’d oriented everything the right hand side of the characters, that would mean placing everything on the left of the comic, which might’ve felt wrong to the artist.

        Or it reads better than the mouse being on the correct side. If you’re going to wildly speculate about others, assuming incompetence is a really shitty thing to do.

          putting the mouse on the other side would have hidden it from view, obstructed by the monitor. future boy in control of the pc would be a little less apparent. and it looks better having the time machine left vs flipping the entire image. it’s a picture, but i think most people would still scan it left-to-right and the time machine should be ‘seen’ first.
