    By no means Phillip. This meme expounded on the millennial anti-theft device, a manual transmission. The real "snowflakes" are nearly our fault collectively, for not exposing them to mechanical crafts, handwork, that hands-on engineering mindset.
    If I were to profile one such as yourself, it would not be "snowflake"; there nothing but good associations with kind-thoughtful-generous-helpful-considerate people, and looking in the right places, are in short supply.

    That's far different from who can't generate torque on a screwdriver or hold up their end moving a dining table through a doorway. Frank S liked my branding of "those pink-fingered" twiddlers.
