So in theory you can drive effectively with your left foot, but if you didn't thoroughly train it before your right foot got injured you really shouldn't try (and even then). Maybe I'm just weird, but my right foot falls asleep/cramps when taking long drives really easily, so a lot of the time I just get it out of the way and switch to my left foot temporarily. I don't think it is all that different. Reaction time might be slightly slower, but good enough if I'm not driving like a madman. :> | ||

It's about what happens when an emergency situation happens and you panic. If you're used to using your right foot you may just accidentally throw down both feet on a peddle and fuck up. That's how you hear of people swearing they pressed the break but in reality they on the accelerator due to panicking. edit: Realized this sounded super harsh. Just meant that doing something out of the norm means that in a situation of high stress things can go haywire. Be careful out there :< | ||

Holy god damn I really wish I could see this show with the original cast. I know, right? That damn musical is so good. The second act gets me close to tears every time. | ||

I considered borrowing my gfs automatic and driving with my left foot but I dont have any practice doing that and dont wana risk it in someone elses car. also they didn't give me anything for the pain just popping Tylenol. I could probably manage to drive now if i wrapped the tensor bandage in duct tape or something but i feel like if i had to slam the breaks down i would flinch in pain and get in an accident. I still dont understand how you could start from a stop with 1 foot in a manual tho. | ||

I'll admit I haven't heard much about this other than the fact that it's some sort of hip hop American history musical? I've heard the 'not throwing away my shot' song, or at least part of it, and it wasn't so much singing as it was pseudo-rapping to a catchy song, and in a sort of... whiny fashion? I dunno I usually love musicals the same as other people (the only exception being Spring Awakening which my fellow theater nerd friends and the time gushed over. I hated it. Was like watching panic at the disco) But I'm worried I'm not going to like this one because of its straying from the traditional formula. Obviously I should actually listen to some of it and give it a chance but I haven't yet for whatever reason. I think part of it is also I tend to immediately and instinctually lash out against overhyped things (I also never liked rent or grease, the former of which I think was because I was bashed over the head with it by adolescent girls, and the latter because it just sucks), so I'm also worried I'll never give this a chance because of Lin Manuel Miranda being America's sweetheart and hypuuu so maybe that's why I've been avoiding it? | ||

The whole musical paints a really amazing synopsis of Hamilton's life. Most of it is rap/hip hop, and I'll admit that Not Throwing Away My Shot is one of my less preferred songs/recurring themes. But that song is pretty early on. The show is pretty damn long, and the beginning does some really good stage setting. Once it hits The Battle of Yorktown, everything explodes from there. It keeps building upon the themes it's established earlier on in the show and is an incredibly emotional story. Coming out of it, I noted a few things really heavily. First, it's amazing how much Hamilton's and Aaron Burr's lives were intertwined. Second, Lin does an amazing job painting a historical villain (Burr) as a humanized character - shamelessly stealing my sister's point there since I'm talking to her about this at the same time. Third - the show does a decent job of highlighting (without outright saying it) that the only difference between a hero and a traitor is victory. I'd definitely say to stop avoiding it. It's not over hyped; it's hyped because it's just really really really good. | ||

I also tend to watch musicals less to analyze the themes and story and more so for the experience and the music. If I don't like the music I'm pretty unlikely to like the musical. Also also, I'm not American and barely know who any of those people you mentioned are, nor would I particularly care about them outside of this particular context. | ||
