  • Yes.

    In Europe you basically have to be handicapped to not learn to drive manual. Most people get the manual driving license because it allows you to drive both, whereas the automatic one doesn’t.

    Manual transmission was and often still is cheaper, often cheaper to repair, often more reliable, often uses less fuel, and in cheap and less powerful cars the combination is often better. Because there are so many manual cars here, including at rental places, it’s a no brainer to learn to drive manual.

    This being said, that’s changing. Also, less and less young people are getting a driving license due to affordability and cars no longer being the status symbol they once were.


  • It is already legal to have a sexual relationship with multiple partners at the same time. Bigamy should be legalised. That it isn’t, is a result of entrenched bigotry and religious prudery.

    If you’re using God as a proper noun, capitalise it. Not capitalising it is potentially confusing. Eg. There are numerous gods. Zeus is a god and God is a god.

    It is likely too late to avert climate apocalypse. Don’t have kids and you’ve done far more than most to prevent climate change. (This doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to prevent it.)

    A lot of society’s ills are attributable to arseholes not getting punched in the face enough. This includes the fact that we can’t make it legal to punch arseholes in the face, because arseholes would abuse that right to punch people who don’t deserve it in the face.

    America has become so fat, that most Americans have a skewed perception of what it means to be obese.

    Most sports are stupid. Michael Phelps can swim 6 mph. Fish can swim 10x faster than that. Fuck that. I want to watch a tiger chase Trump through a maze.

    The already high male suicide rate is severely underestimated. A lot of male risk taking behaviour, including car/bike related accidents, is suicidal in nature.

    In practice identity based politics is often used to divide and conquer and distract people from their true interests. Class consciousness is more important. You have more in common with your colleagues, than you do with Beyonce or Joe Rogan, just because they happen to have the same skin colour and/or genitals as you.
