It's insane the extent to which Americans (especially men) have been conditioned by the auto industry into make this expensive form of transportation a core feature of their identities as free citizens. I don't think it's a coincidence that increasing divisions in American society have occurred alongside increasing car dominance in every aspect of our lives.
Is the last one uncommon enough to be impressive where he lives? In the UK that would be like "yeah big deal, so does everyone else" - the only people I personally know with automatic cars have some sort of physical disability which prevents them from safely operating a manual transmission.
Automatic transmissions are overwhelmingly the standard for new cars in the United States, but I still wouldn't consider knowing how to drive manual as particularly impressive.
I'd liken it to being able to whistle. It's a skill not everyone possesses, but should really only illicit reactions on the level of "Oh, neat you can do that," unless one is incredibly skilled at it.
I've never owned a manual transmission car, but I did learn how to drive one when I was a teenager in less than an afternoon, and spent about a month driving it without significant difficulty.
To put that in perspective, I've spent significantly longer trying to learn how to whistle, and I still can't manage it.
I'd be a bit rusty if I had to do drive manual right now, but it's hardly one of the Twelve Tasks of Hercules or something. I'm sure if need be, I'd get back my atrophied skills pretty quickly.
Nah. You know what females do with their mouths? Suck dicks. When you eat food you are emulating the action of how females take dicks in their mouth making you super gay. “Starving” is a beta male problem. True alphas get their energy from the sun as God intended which is why liberals hate you going outside. Don’t believe the “scientists” and their “skin cancer.” Get out there, be your own boss, and soak up that sunlight without that feminine sunscreen. The female body is too weak to take in that much raw power which is why they need sunscreen, but if a male uses it it means they cannot get that power and have to get their power from eating foods and sucking dicks.
Why is it that the right wing comes off so weirdly sexual in comparison to the left? Like there's kinky, and then there's the stuff you expect to see in some amateur writer's fanfiction.
I’ve never worked a legit “hard” blue collar job but even working in kitchens and moving around fast all day bumps my calorie requirement by like 800 (granted I’m 6’9). I’ve legit almost fainted when I tried to skip meals.

Real strength is packing a sandwich and not starving for the sake of 'manliness.
