Can you drive a manual transmission?

And where are you from? And how old? Not "do you" but just if you know how.

I'm in the US, mid 30s and can (and do) drive a manual transmission.

Mid 30s, used to drive stick all the time but I wouldn't go out and get one anymore. This seems like one of those things people clutch onto (pun intended) because it was at one time a useful everyday skill not everyone could do but now is completely antiquated.

Automatics have also become wildly better in the past 10 years. They used to be 3-4 speed and break all the time. Now they are 10 speed and super quick and more reliable.
