Kindness

They must, by definition. So yes. But for the sake of illustration, let's assume someone who acts like a sea lion isn't arguing in bad faith, but they aren't arguing in good faith either. Whether they and unintentionally annoying, or not, ultimately makes no difference to the people around them.

Let's say a specific oblivious person is combative and persistent. They are not truly trying to understand something, they just want to be right. You try to explain why their responses could be considered rude and prompt self reflection.

A) Will they evaluate themselves and realize what they are doing? B) Will they argue because they insist on being right?

The former is a rude person, but they are someone trying to figure out the world. Whether you engage with them or not, eventually they will realize their actions are causing disengagement. We're all trying to learn and become better versions of ourselves. This person made some mistakes, realizes it, then changes.

There is no point in engaging the latter. Their lack of self awareness is irrelevant to the outcome and your mental state. Leave them alone, and don't respond. If you do respond, and they realize they are wrong, but continue: they become a sea-lion if the fake politeness, and troll if they become inflammatory.

Don't feed the trolls. If they want to, "be right," they can be alone in thinking they're right, and you can get back to learning and bettering yourself.

None of this is in the comic.

No satirical comic literally explains the intent of the comic; intent must be inferred based on the events it depicts. Or you can search the internet, Know Your Meme attempts to track culture and context. Yay for them.

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.

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.

You're using it well. Nothing wrong at all.

Butterface excels at keeping data safe-ish or at least lets you know when to throw in the towel, and which bits you've lost. It's also write intensive if you open a file with write permissions, which is harder on your drives.

Btrfs is great for the data you want to keep long term.

Also UEFI has some nice advantages if your computer isn't a dino that can't handle it.

Do what works for you, and keep on keeping on.

I had no clue. Thanks for letting me know. :)

Washington Privacy Act (WPA).

Plaintiffs’ operative complaint alleged that their vehicles’ infotainment systems download and permanently store all text messages and call logs from Plaintiffs’ cellphones without their consent.

[...]

The district court properly dismissed Plaintiffs’ claim for failure to satisfy the WPA’s statutory injury requirement. See WASH. REV. CODE § 9.73.060. To succeed at the pleading stage of a WPA claim, a plaintiff must allege an injury to “his or her business, his or her person, or his or her reputation.” Id. Contrary to Plaintiffs’ argument, a bare violation of the WPA is insufficient to satisfy the statutory injury requirement.

The Human Calculator Calendar by Scott Flansburg: https://calendars.fandom.com/wiki/Human_Calculator_Calendar

As thewitchslayer says, the lunar month has 29.5 days. English common law has a "lunar month" which is 28 days though.

Hmn...

You'd need to redefine the derived SI Units, or take new measurements for newly derived units. Newtons, joules, pascals, hertz, coulombs, watts, volts, ohms, farads, siemens, webers, teslas, henrys, becquerels, grays, sieverts, and katals.

Also not to mention motion and heat.

You could say there's a large amount of pressure to not change, or that it's a high "bar"...

I hope you smiled, because that is one joke I will not be making again.

Yay for The Human Calculator Calendar. Boo for not crediting sources. A missed opportunity to replace Jesse's name with, "Scott."

Double boo for not explaining the extra day every year, not to mention leap year. (364 / 28 = 13.)

Final boo for conflating the real world ~29.5 day imprecise lunar month with the 28 day English common law lunar month.

Great in theory.

Keeping backwards compatible hardware is nearly impossible in reality. USB A 3.x is not the same hardware as USB A 2.X despite keeping form-factor backwards compatible.

Practical exercise: Find a board capable of swapping DDR4 RAM with DDR5 or vice versa.
