I find this hilarious. In your feeble attempt to rework my writing into something you think is better, you introduced a run-on sentence in the very first line. ROTFLMFAO. What? Are you going to respond by saying, “No, that sentence wasn’t too long or rambling”? LOL, man. Here’s your sign, bro. Or bra? Or brit?

Heck, our own moon is, on average, a substantial 238,000 miles away. Here’s an interesting thing—this 1988 BMW 325is has enough miles under its belt to have made the trip all the way there, and then back again.

So you agree that whether something apeara to be a non sequitur depends on perspective. I made statements. So did you. You cannot at once prescribe to moral relativism and claim absolute moral authority without employing sound logic. Yet this is exactly what you’re attempting and why my perspective on non sequitur

Its not a matter of right or wrong. That would be binary, right? The intrinsic value and the desirability of a Saturn are at once subjective and potentially discrete as variables. Perhaps you want a Lambo and don’t want a Saturn. You can have this preference without hating the Saturn; you merely prefer, strongly, a

We understand you’re offended. The anger that stems from your being offended is impeding your ability to reason. Do try, however, to process the notion that some people can find a Saturn to be awesome, and others not so much. You want to dictate to society what their taste should be. That’s impossible and also

If I don’t like this car because what I genuinely thought was a Lambo turned out to be a Saturn -- even though it's probably the coolest Saturn they ever made and no slouch in the performance department -- does it make me egregiously anti-Saturn simply because I wanted a Lambo? In knappsterbot's world, this logic

You clearly don’t understand that a non sequitur to one may not be to another, as our perspectives differ. I was stating a position of mine, and in it, that’s a non sequitur. If you wish to prevail against me in argument, you’ll have to do better next time.

I sort of agree. But what’s even sadder and more accurate is that so many pretend they don’t understand — just to virtue-signal and preserve their sense of self worth vis-à-vis their wokeness.

Society has lost its capacity to comprehend and incorporate nuance. So, no, I don’t see a trend in any direction that would actually bring about the lasting respect and understanding we both would like. By subjecting all humor to an ironically binary set of criteria, all it does is to aggravate people who rightly

But it does not follow he’d eploy the substitution you imply. Neither is it anologous not to want to have sex with someone because of their race; a person can have no ill will toward another race and still simply be unattracted sexually to another race. Let’s go the rabbit hole. Shall we? Try to keep up. By virtue of

No, he used a humor-tinged analogy to make a point with truth in it metaphorically applicable to this NPOCP, and you’re too faux woke (or not smart enough) to get it and laugh. I remember just three or so years ago when everyone still had a sense of humor, and on this site specifically you could make such jokes

I’m with you. My ballpark guess is that the asking price equals two to three times too high, depending on the mileage reading and year of the Sky beneath this faux Lambo’s skin.

This to me is a wonderful example of a non-garage queen survivor: Of course whoever’s owned it over the years has had to make do with “close enough” fixes as things mechanically and otherwise broke or exhibited enough wear to warrant replacing. I’m undeterred by the apparent pragmatism perhaps fueled by funds

That’s my thought and may be the seller’s, as well. He’s hoping to attract interest by the might of the specimen’s evident exceptional condition. The asking price dissuades, but he hopes the final sale price remains close to the asking once he eventually says to the buyer, “Look, tell you what: I’ll throw in all those

It’s amazing how accountants and shareholders can steer an automobile manufacturer (pun intended) into the ditch — counterintuitively, in the pursuit of profit. What good is this profit if and when the brand becomes irreparably damaged and the business eventually is no longer a going concern?

I get what you’re saying and I don’t condone this kind of chauvinism. HOWEVER... it’d be a marketing coup and leap forward for electric vehicles to figure out a way to appeal to the “macho” demographic. You don’t have to like them to like figuring out a way to sell to them. Heck, they might even come around a bit in th

Yes, this is a good idea. Harley needs to find a new sound. It’ll be different, but they could commission scientific research to determine the kind of sounds an electric motorbike could make that would be similarly pleasing to the aural senses of Harley's core buyer persona.

This is a fantastic idea. It might do a good job of promoting acceptance and enthusiasm for electric vehicles within a market demographic. A significant subset of Harley owners has significant disposable income. You need that kind of cash to own another vehicle (expensive full-size pickup, often) plus your pricey

It’s unsurprising. A diet high in soy decreases testosterone. A Harley is a manly bike. I’m not saying all manly men like Harleys, or that everyone who owns one is manly; it can be a crutch or proxy for real manliness, and it’s far from always.

This looks so much better than the now-outgoing exterior design, which vies easily for the Best Performing Bad Looking Car Today award.
