I wish I could just assume this was a troll, but I've heard people make this exact argument unironically in real life.
Amazing what people are willing to admit about themselves in public.
You have to read what I wrote very carefully. I was just explaining why sticks aren't popular anymore. I see people texting all the time. Used to be when people were driving erratically you'd assume they were drunk, but now it's probably because they're texting. I always feel like yelling at them to stop texting, but I know it's pointless so I don't.
To be fair, the totality of what you've posted here is really easy to interpret as sympathetic toward the demise of the manual transmission.
Either way, my own point was that people really do use the "I can't text while driving stick" argument to justify automatics. If you're not among them, then I guess I'm not talking about you.
Amateurs!
