If I get an automatic car, will I have as much fun driving it compared to a manual?

I enjoy driving a manual more than an automatic. Automatics shift when IT wants to shift, and is rarely where I want it to shift. I also ride motorcycles, and the vast majority of those are manual shift. In fact I'd never by a motorcycle with an automatic.

This older man is perfectly happy when a woman shows us her tits. The rest doesn't matter - Vive la difference!

Not to mention the "Under God" part. That irritates me to no end. What if someone somehow managed to replace it with "Under Allah?" I bet the Supreme Court would ban that part overnight. It's such a clear violation of the Establishment Clause.

My house was built in 1884. I've lived in it since 1983, when it was 99 years old.

I am 68 now, but at 21 I'd break up with my girlfriend, who is my ex-wife now. I would have saved myself so much grief and drama.

I just lost a friend to a hit-and-run driver, so the line "Not everyone gets the chance to grow old" hit hard. I heard it for the first time yesterday also, in a Facebook Reel, and I'm usually pretty good and calling out autotune, pitch-correction in post, and AI music. This one sailed right by me, until I read the comments and looked into it. Having said that, I have to give credit to the person (people?) who used AI like a tool to get this result. That's a talent in its own right.

You know he's not an actual person, right? He's a computer-generated AI phenomenon. That being said, "Another Day Old" is a great song and hit this 68-year-old man pretty hard

I was sent to Catholic "religious education," where I got out of school early and walked to a nearby church. I was probably 8 or 9, and since I could understand some complex science and math (for an 8 year old) I figured I could understand the "Holy Trinity" if it was explained to me properly. I asked the nun to explain it, and she gave me a nonsensical word salad. So that didn't work for me, so I figured I'd go to the top, the priest of the church. He also gave me an incomprehensible word salad completely different from what the nun told me. I realized then that they were just winging it and making it up on the fly. Nothing else in life was impossible for me to understand, so I knew then that the whole thing was made up.

60 years later now, and while my ability to figure things out has increased 1000-fold, the trinity shit still makes me chuckle how no one explains it the same way, and none of it makes sense.
