I'm stuck on this personally. I love my manual, I have a tiny little Mazda 2 and I have driven that thing absolutely everywhere because I can control it better than any automatic I've ever driven. But I've been casually looking for a new car and I'd love to have an electric, but I don't want to lose that level of control and everything I love about a manual.

What do you all think? What's your take?

It's tangently related, we're not on stackoverflow.

And I dunno, you could very well be right about their intentions but I feel like you guys are jumping to conclusions. There's a pretty massive gap between "if you didn't know, you can start with just the clutch" and "ev's r gay", so until they actually follow up with something like "ev's r gay", I'm going to assume that they were sharing in earnest. Let's just chill, lemmy doesn't have to be as abrasive as other social media can be

There's a time and a place for everything. Situational awareness is important. Just because you have something to say doesn't mean it needs to be said. Quality is important and just throwing anything into the conversation simply because you want to be heard, regardless of what the actual topic is, isn't helpful.

Again, we'll agree to disagree on the quality of the reply. I think it was a fair comment, and I'm glad they shared. I've got nothing else to add, so have a good one
