I often use my left hand to do tasks, for example, to keep me alert to difference, look at things through a mirror or from a back view; I find perspective a rather fascinating thing to toy with, and probably why I don&#8217;t feel too strongly about too many things (except unsalted butter in baking; simply no discussion). So I use masks and filters for much of what I do online to preserve my autonomy and anonymity, and I delve into a lot of communities to see how people respond by rote and get lost in unconsciousness. I listen to myself making rote conversation, and try to guess when I hear people talking, exactly what they will say. I am surprised at how often I&#8217;m right.
