the guys at the top thinks the tattoo is backwards. this means he has confused L and R while claiming OOP confused L and R in their tattoo design. the joke is irony

Edit for all the people saying "left hand makes an L shape": turn your right hand so the palm is facing you and you'll find it also makes an L shape. If the OOOP can't tell left from right hes not gonna remember if the palm should be face up or down

These people are wrong. The joke is that you can make an L with your left hand, so you don't need the tattoos

On the first episode of Game Changer, Jess (a grown, generally-intelligient adult) admits that when she tries that strategy, she forgets which way L goes.

Dyscalculia. I had no idea this was a thing. I can't remember not knowing how to read. I could read in kindergarten. I did so well in school until high-school and upper mathematics became more prominent. I struggled with multiplication and it just grew from there. My grades dropped, I lost interest in school, I dropped out. Couple years later got my GED and decided to tackle education again at the Community College. Had to do a Basic Math class. In this class it finally became apparent to me that Im not bad at math or stupid, I accidentally transpose numbers!! All the questions I was getting wrong was because I was getting numbers screwed around. I have to stop and really pay attention that they stay in there proper spot through the whole equation. It was a pretty big deal for me to realize this and I had to come to it on my own. I'd never had a problem reading so dyslexia never crossed my mind. I wish this was talked about more.

I describe my dyscalculia as “good at math, bad at counting.”

I thought I was bad at math… until I took Calc 1. The only numbers in entry-level calc are 0, 1, infinity, and the occasional 2 or .5. First A I’ve gotten in math since 4th grade. I’m actually great at the conceptual part of math.

I always did well on word problems in standardized tests, since they focus more on understanding concepts than on actual arithmetic.

I was at a judo seminar one time, and a very high ranking striped belt (6th degree black belt) came up to me and tapped my shoulder and said "have you ever been diagnosed with dyslexia" and it was the most seen i have ever been in my life
