I never really gave much thought to “premium” being a horseshit marketing term until I was at the 99 cent store one day many years ago and saw a bottle of “premium” caesar salad dressing. At that point I realized this shit needs to stop.

I always thought it was an option for morons who wanted to feel like they were driving a big rig.

It probably won’t happen and I’m not losing sleep over it. The original point I was making (not that you missed it) was just that the word remains offensive to many people, and no amount of general, accepted usage in any context will change that.

I get the feeling this isn’t the only thing you can’t figure out. I personally am not Japanese, I am not really offended by the word “Jap”, but I can definitely understand why some people are.

Sure, I get that. The actual name is Arisaka, though. I’m not going to fly off the handle at seeing it on a bullet casing, but it’s silly to pretend that the word suddenly is unoffensive to some people because it’s been used in a non-offensive way.

“internationally recognized”? You mean, colloquially used by people across multiple countries to refer to 6.5 or 7.7 Arisaka? Why not list your Kar98k chambered in 8mm Nazi?

This would basically be Ark, with a Fallout skin. And honestly, that sounds great.

I always attributed the rise of horrible rap/rock shit to Rage Against the Machine. A band I love dearly, I should add. It had kinda been around in the early 90s (and even before), but then Evil Empire blew up in ‘96. Suddenly, bands nobody really cared about like Limp Bizkit and Insane Clown Posse are selling out…

Yes, soul and passion! Like De Tomaso, Packard, Iso, and...oh.

As an alumnus of FinalGear, this does not affect me. 

I have a feeling that the owners of TVR did away with the shed, so to speak. A small car company like the old TVR is going to make a product that reflects the people working there. Unless the Keith Moon-esque lunatics have been hired from the old company, I’m not expecting it to be like the old TVR.

I want that leather jacket.

Yay.

I got to the part about the tail lights and I was like “did Torch write this article?” Had to scroll up to double check

REACH FOR THE SKY HONGQI

Owner of a Focus hatch, can confirm.

As someone who adores classic American cars and aspires to own a collection, I’m not mad at this. I don’t see myself ever owning a tri-five. They’re nice cars, and I will always appreciate an old car being loved, cared for and driven, but no. They’re not my style at all.

Yes the fuck it is.

Add players’ “nerfed” gear and stats on top of those newly buffed ogres (if that is the case), and we get the issue we’re seeing now.

Reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit. Work on it.
