Sure, any censorship, spying and oppression is bad. I’m just saying one goes harder than the other, but I’m not denying that it sucks and that it clearly exists. I’m well aware of the patriot act and that speaking can endanger you. I just have this feeling like you get persecuted for speaking against the government in countries like China, whereas you need to be a strong figure to have the same fate in other countries. Anyways, it sucks for all countries that have this.

I have no data and this is just a feeling.

Democracy and freedom of speech, freedom to protest, freedom in general is in danger

Fuck all those spying countries. But yea still I believe in the west you get in trouble for acting, not just speaking

Uhhh that sounds right

To be fair I know close to nothing about cars and mechanics

I heard that automatic cars were more common in the USA but idk if that's true

Some cars have 'hard' regenerative braking but yea, it's rare (thinking about Tesla)

Okay, didn't think this would happen

I believe they're just cheaper and technically they allow you to get a bit more from your car, but yea apart from that, not much

In some countries there are more manual cars so I get them, but trashing on automatic is just dumb. It's much more enjoyable (people I know told me that). Most manual drivers have muscle memory so it's not really something that takes too much place in their mind, but I guess having to remember less could make you more focused on the road.

Disclaimer: I have an automatic driver license, and no manual driver license haha
