M*crosoft's search engine is borderline unusable
  • That just doesn't work, because the sea lion's behavior in the comic is entirely reasonable, and it is the other characters who are being unreasonable. If the point of the comic is that the sea lion's behavior is bad, they should have actually made the sea lion do something bad instead of call out someone being racist against him

  • not a racist conversation, because sea lions are not sentient beings despite what is about to happen

    sea lions literally are sentient beings in the context of the comic. the only justification the comic gives for why sea lions are bad requires them being sentient beings so that they can speak up against random racist tirades about them.

    are you literate

  • It’s just obviously not about all the stuff that you seem to think it’s about.

    But it literally is? You're the one coming up with weird interpretations about "what if it was actually about xyz"

    What is actually happening in the comic is that a character is being racist and the victim of that racism is portrayed as being wrong and annoying for calling out the racism. That's literally what's happening in the comic. It doesn't require any kind of gymnastics or interpretation, that's the surface level reading of what is occurring in the comic.

  • Racism justifies harassment and home invasion?

    Yeah. Not gonna cry over what the victims of racism do to racists.

    and more about the harassment veiled in false civility as a means of silencing discussion.

    How is the sea lion silencing discussion? They weren't discussing anything, they were having a racist circlejerk. The racist lady said a racist thing and the sea lion invited discussion by asking, "Why did you say that racist thing?" and then they refused to actually explain why they're racist against sea lions, treating it as self-evident that being racist against sea lions is correct and thus that it is unreasonable to question it.

    Pretend he’s not a sea lion, but a conservative

    He can't choose not to be a sea lion. This is kind of incoherent. "Pretend he's not black, but a conservative." This sea lion could also be conservative, that doesn't really have anything to do with the fact that he's being criticized for immutable properties he was born with, not for anything of substance.

  • I gotta be honest, the sea lion is not the bad guy in this comic. Lady randomly says some racist shit, and a member of the group she's being racist against calls her out for being racist. And then the fact that the sea lion called the racist out is apparently justification for the initial racist statement.

  • Were neon in this cyberpunk dystopia
  • Capitalism has led to more death than any other system we've come up with. It is a useful intermediary step between feudalism and socialism and instead of progressing we've stalled here and slowly but steadily turned it back into feudalism.

  • Burning Up
  • Sounds like a great time to propose my system of temperature: Super Celsius. I'll connect it to the freezing and boiling points of water just like Celsius, but while freezing remains at 0, boiling is now 1000. Get ready for a nice mild day of 250.

  • Trump is 78 and barely coherent. Where's everyone who questioned Biden's age and fitness?
  • The fact that Biden's brain was turning to jello before our eyes was only a big topic of conversation because delusional libs refused to acknowledge it for years. "Trump is incoherent" is not a big topic of conversation because no one who is human denies it, it's been obvious since before Biden was a serious candidate

  • 17% of the US's Infrastructure & Jobs Act goes to transit. 67% goes to conventional highway programs
  • Uh, they're not? The cars are in fact much closer to one another than they could possibly be while moving at speed. They would only get this close to one another during a traffic jam. On the other hand, the walkers are entirely capable of moving in exactly the way they are pictured.

  • The park in my parent's neighborhood got rid of all the benches
  • There are more empty homes than homeless people. There is no housing shortage, it's a myth. Put benches, public transport, walkable infrastructure, bike infrastructure, etc everywhere. And then when those dastardly evil homeless people show up and dare to use your person-centric infrastructure to exist, that's when you ambush them with a house. What better way to punish them than to strip them of their homeless identity? We'll brutally steal their homelessness from them, feed them, clothe them, and then they won't feel any need to sleep on our nice benches ever again.

    Does this framing help you understand or does it have to actually involve violence against the downtrodden for you to be on board?
