    Right? How am I supposed to know what “left” implies in some random app’s context?

      Left and right are a de facto standard in dating apps. It’s a terrible UI but they all do it now.

        Smartphones didn’t even exist last time I was dating.

        The thing that trips me up, as a dinosaur, is whether “swipe left” refers to the direction your hand moves or the direction that the viewport is traveling. If I scroll by moving my finger to the left, now I’m looking at stuff that was previously on my right.

          In tinder when you swipe, the picture itself moves, not the whole screen.

          I have this issue with my stove top, which burner goes to with nob/diagram. Does the picture line flat or flip over. I only every end up using the one with both high and low cause it’s easy to tell which it is.

            I am a weirdo and always get things backwards that the rest of the population has no trouble with.

            Righty-tighty, lefty-loosey made no sense when I was a kid because I focused on the bottom of the thing I was spinning instead of the top.

            Same with the stove. Wtf is the “front” burner? I mapped the four burners to the four seats of a car in my head, and I thought the front burner would be the ones farther away from me. 🫨

      And why are they stealing it? I don’t even know where to start planning a caper involving left theft. Guess I could start from the right…
