Crystal Pepsi is returning this year. No, I do not have an exact time frame.

I am in the greys, as I do not comment at Kotaku as much as sites like io9 and Jalopnik, and yet I heartily approve of this comment.

The fallacy of “balance” can no longer be escaped in just about any context. It has killed journalism, which barely exists anymore, and it is killing discourse nearly everywhere else. I have tried fighting the brave fight against it myself. We win the skirmishes, but are losing the war.

Standard-issue false equivalency. There may well be an example or two of someone on the other side doing so (I refuse to use the loaded three-letter acronym,) but even if that is true, those examples are far outweighed by those on the “GG” (or equivalent) side.

We did it in the Seventies, too.

Depending on the circumstances under which you acquired it, it may not indeed have been free.

In my defense in the case of the S5, I had not driven a stick in more than a decade. But it was still frustrating me that I could just not master first gear, torque or no torque. The fact that there was a witness in the form of the salesperson did not help (though to be fair, he drove it first to take us to the area…

I am in the greys on Kotaku, so I am sure that you will never see this, but what the hell, I will waste my time typing it up anyway.

I test drove a used Audi S5 V8 last year, and without time to practice, I found it nearly impossible to start it out in first gear without lurching. My wife could not start it in first without killing it. Starting in second was smooth as butter. Torque is a marvelous thing.

I was kidding. The point was about how people make angry, emphatic pronouncements despite not having all the facts. It is not just true of Lanesplitter!

You must have participated in a few Batman v Superman discussions, too!

If that particular distinction is indeed what is making people upset, then it proves my point, because it is a completely false distinction. No one said that they deserved getting pepper sprayed. Sean never said that. I never said that. No one else, that I can see, is saying that. Quite the opposite is true. Re-read…

You had to see that kind of reaction coming. God forbid you take a reasonable and balanced perspective. You should know full well that any bad reaction on the part of the officer immediately absolves the bikers of any responsibility for their own actions that precipitated it. Internet 101.

Grim Dawn. Grim Dawn. More Grim Dawn. Still more Grim Dawn. After that, back to Grim Dawn. Eventually, I will get bored and play Grim Dawn instead.

I had an argument with my nephew about that. He was going on about how the SS had a “garbage” interior, with “garbage” materials. He said that the interior of his Fusion was much nicer. He did not take too kindly to me questioning his sanity.

Yes, this sounds like a terrible idea. At my gym, the owner has had to put warning signs on all of the treadmills to keep your feet off the belt until AFTER it has started moving first. She keeps having motors burn out because of the extra stress of having people standing on the belt from a dead stop.

The other thing that happened when I saw the movie was after it was over. As we were leaving the theatre, I overheard a couple bemoaning, “Now people are going to think that we really talk like that!”

True story: I saw Fargo at the White Bear Township theatre back during its original release. When those two mentioned White Bear, the audience cheered.

Never learn geography from the movies. I love how Ferris Bueller managed to teleport from one end of Chicago to the other. . .
