The Kool-Aid man would only intervene if one of the pigs wanted juice, or maybe was struggling with a skateboard trick they were learning.

But why Cinco de Mayo? I never got the obsession with it, no one on the mexican side of my family has ever celebrated it except for when they need an excuse to drink to the eternal concept of "you know what, gently caress the French".

Cinco de Mayo was first popularized in the US by the Chicano movement in Los Angeles. They felt that the David and Goliath element of the Battle at Puebla was a good symbol for their own battle for civil rights in the US. Over the 1940s-1960s of spread across the southwest. In the 1980s, beer companies and other corporations started taking notice and it became the bastardized thing it is today.

Bitcoin mining should become the induction test for ecoterrorists. Like you want to get into chasing Japanese whaling vessels or sabotaging nuclear facilities, first you have to prove your mettle by takeing out some assholes rig.

ecoterrorists are people who commit terrorism to protect the environment, if bitcoin miners were ecoterrorists then Islamic terrorists would be the assholes who shoot up mosques.

Poorly phrased then, I blame the fact that US media rarely covers terror attacks in Arab countries, but in the heads of Islamic terrorists they are promoting or protecting their version of Islam, was my point.

e: Nice dodge on his part, you're using a piece of terminology as shorthand for a phenomenon that is occurring at that moment, and he's accusing you of "weaponizing language" by having a term for it

FINE THEN, you're asking stupid questions to try to wear me down by answering them patiently

Please tell me sealioning is named solely for the sound they make

I run into this quite a bit when trying to engage people but it doesn't take long to figure this is their game, and that its either time to bail or switch to "how about you give some points or I'll assume youre trolling stfu". Glad to be able to put a name to it now

I try to assume positive intent (once in awhile I get someone who is actually arguing in good faith!) but the exchange only went a couple of times before I saw what he was doing and called him out for it (only for him to be big mad about it).

Edit: but I am posting on social media so i suppose I'm an idiot regardless...

Oh so sealion is a race now? The term you're looking for is speciesist. Typical of the left, just using terms designed to malign a person you disagree with.

Yeah, the comic being too lazy to come up with a good example of a conversation the sealion could interrupt makes the comic a pretty bad example for the behavior it coined a term for, ironically enough

Is there a way to like, call vaccine distro centers and ask if there were any no-shows that day? That'd be a way to get vaccinated early without being lovely, since the doses would just be discarded otherwise.

Yes.
