    We won’t have bodies, just a brain floating in a charged, translucent liquid. All interconnected. Capable of every form of thought but no autonomy.

    And we will all still be browsing this thread. Maybe we won’t even have a choice.

    I'd say this is funny, but I've seen The Matrix. We all have. Blue pill or red pill, son. Only two choices.

    Keep driving that beautiful Diesel-Hybrid, Auto-Manual switchable, 6 inch push button liftable 8th gen Taco.... or live and breathe in the real world...

    What’s this horse shit about growing up and not playing with toys? That’s a stretch to equate switching from manual to “I hate myself” with immaturity and not growing up... it’s a preference, whether now or then or in 10 years.

    You’re exactly right. It is a preference. Some people prefer & find content in what’s comfortable, doing the same thing over & over & over until the end of time without ever trying anything new. Other people are never content & are always looking for that next toy to play with. Some prefer not having to shift gears. Others get upset when you don’t agree with them. It’s a vicious cycle... & the only immaturity i’ve really seen here is you assuming that “I hate myself”, lol. That’s a “stretch”... but it’s all good. You keep shifting, dude :thumbsup:

    Not hate yourself, maybe just your life...? Lost the will to experience, move, and do? I’m not sure. I don’t know why one would choose LESS engagement over more... used to have fun in the bedroom, now it’s missionary with the lights off? One of those guys who wishes he could still drive manual but the wife can’t so efforts are focused on fighting against? (that is actually somewhat common)

    One way or another, something must have happened to make you so anti-manual (or anti-“others who like manual”). Cause here you are droning on and on and on, taking on each comment to heart as if personally responsible for putting manual advocates in their place.... and then it’s “keep shifting dude”.... surely in an effort to quell any retort.

    The implication that manual drivers are just resting in their laurels and sticking with what’s comfortable versus “trying something new” is laughable. Yea... that’s it... we just don’t understand that newfangled technology... uh huh... it’s a comfort thing...

    It’s ok man. Show us on the doll where the manual transmission hurt you. Wait, we don’t want to know!!

    I’m just messing around though. To each their own and stuff... you do you... different strokes... keep it mundane!

    Speaking from experience it’s all gone full circle. I’ve gone BACK to missionary again full time, except this time I leveled up, like in a video game. It’s power missionary now. Cracks in the drywall, broken bed frame, the whole 9.

    I try not to inflict any structural damage. Used to rent and it just killed my security deposits. The heavy ass adjustable bed with memory foam mattress really helps nowadays. Prior to, we had to use brackets on the frame/wall to keep the bed in place.

    Also, Epstein didn’t kill himself and I love driving a manual transmission!

    Ive been thinking of adding a “traction bar” to my wall above the headboard to grab onto. You wouldn’t believe how much thrust energy is lost to mattress compression and sheet slide.

    Yea... can’t do anything too obvious here — guests and kids ask too many questions.

    The truth is out there and will be revealed.
