This comic never made sense to me. She hates sea lions because they don’t let people talk shit about them. Seems like she’s the problem here in neo london where sapient sea lions live among us. They’re here, get over it.
because they don’t let people talk shit about them
The manner in which you engage in dialogue is important.
Pretending to not understand another person’s viewpoint, and annoying them into compliance, is arguing in bad faith. Arguments in bad faith are malicious deception.
Nobody wants to speak with sea lions because even if you explain in good faith, it won’t amount to anything except your own frustration. A summary of the heart of the sea lion: Arguing with me is pointless. “And now that you’re mad, you’ll know better than to talk shit about sea lions.”
Don’t be a sea lion. You can protest opinions without being manipulative or rude about it.
By x you mean twitter? Maybe because its very clear and visible why its shit.
With Wayland, not so much. I don’t see any issues with it either, so by asking someone who hates it, why. Maybe that person will mention something i didn’t know yet and see their perspective.
There’s also plenty of obvious reasons to hate the X windowing system. Like that it’s unmaintained and going the way of the dodo. Plus learning about a system that is old is less interesting than something that is new. I don’t care about the ways a dead, unmaintained system sucks, so why would I ask?
Why do you hate wayland?
Careful you don’t come off as a sealion.
Though this is a thread about Wayland so eh.

…do you actually think the sea lion understands why people hate sea lions?
None of this is in the comic.
The point of the sea lion is persistent argument in bad faith.
The difference between, “prove your opinion,” can be subtle in its difference from, “why do you think that?”
Insinuating someone is badgering and being maliciously dishonest, because they asked for context, is poor etiquette.
I’m absolutely team sea-lion here, did you read that comic?
I mean, just imagine if the sea-lion was a black person…
Damn, imagine having to answer this question every time you say you don’t like something.
Something tells me you don’t ask this when people say they hate X.
By x you mean twitter? Maybe because its very clear and visible why its shit.

The X windowing system.
Well that’s a weird thing to say then because there are enough people who dislike it and then people ask “why” all the time.
Same goes for Wayland.
Exactly?
I mean yeah, it’s obvious why X/twitter is shit, everyone has the exact same opinion about this.
Why would I ask about that when the answer is obvious? And why would I not ask when the answer isn’t obvious?

I’m talking about the X windowing system.
There’s also plenty of obvious reasons to hate the X windowing system. Like that it’s unmaintained and going the way of the dodo.

Yeah, thanks for proving my point.
Your point being…?
If you wanted to know my opinions on X11, you could’ve just asked!
Read my first sentence at the beginning of this comment chain.
Yeah, and I explained why that was true, why would I be interested in comments about X being bad? Where does that go?
Your point seems like nonsense. Of course I don’t ask about X. There’s also a billion other things I don’t ask about, because they’re boring.
