Dilbert - C or D?

he's definitely positioned himself as the idiot's idea of what a smart person sounds like, it's not really a surprise that conservatives think his insights are relevant

godawful posts in defense of George Floyd's murderer and the Georgia voter suppression law,

Crowing that nobody can show him a single case of a person wanting to vote in 2024 who has been unable to, therefore people have been hypnotized by the media into believing there’s a problem.

as usual the question is "is he just pretending to misunderstand the problem or is he actually that stupid"

I think at this point it's self-evident that that question isn't worth asking

true there is possibly no one on the planet (besides maybe Trump himself?) who exudes more of that rich old white guy "don't actually care about a single issue because this is all a game to me" energy

at some point it doesn’t matter if you’re disingenuous or just an idiot

that point is as soon as one person finds you credible imo

every time I look at his twitter he seems to be ranting about teachers' unions, just seems like such an odd and stupid thing to get worked up about

bingo

One way to eliminate police shootings during traffic stops is to allow only Uber-like self-driving cars (no other cars) in urban areas. If a perp is in one of those, police can override its controls, lock in the perp, and make it drive to police headquarters for safe handling.

Dude is a living breathing galaxy brain meme

If the self-driving car has committed a traffic offense, then the car is the perp. Scott would need to coax the car to drive inside a much larger and better-behaved car that will then lock the perp car inside, and wait for the police to make it drive to police headquarters.

Obviously regular police stations are far too small to accomodate these car-eating transporters, hence going to "police headquarters." We will need to build all-new giant police headquarters in the suburbs where the cops live, not in "urban areas."

Of course, roads in both cities and suburbs will all need to be widened in advance to accomodate these monster cars that can fit whole other cars inside them. But at least since we're starting from scratch, they can be standardised, and all cars built to the same model in order to fit inside the perp-capturing megacar. 100% of American car manufacture will need to be nationalised in order to achieve this.

amazing how many of his terrible terrible ideas are things that, realistically, should be proposed by the pointy-haired Dilbert boss while the other characters look on blankly, perhaps with a raised eyebrow or a sip of coffee.

also basically indistinguishable from dumb shit we came up with in 5th grade to pad out our required "invention logs" for science class.

and fascism

this has baffled me too

Amazing how he can start from “cops murdering ppl for running red lights is bad” ...and skip “abolish police” and skip “abolish private cars” and leap to “make everyone buy brand new private cars that also operate as state-controlled prisons”

amazing how many of his terrible terrible ideas are things that, realistically, should be proposed by the pointy-haired Dilbert boss while the other characters look on blankly, perhaps with a raised eyebrow or a sip of coffee.

someone please photoshop him into one of his own cartoons, spewing all this nonsense as the other characters look on blankly, perhaps with a raised eyebrow or a sip of coffee.

I’m lazy, find a strip it’ll work in and I’ll deliver.

i expect this stuff from him, but who are all the people chiming in with 'great idea!'

internet geek-celeb sycophant fascists, i wish they were rare

I saw a dilbert comic recently that was either photoshopped, or he has people just subbing in “x tech will save us” “but but about why” and then the manager saying “implement it”

tbf that seems like a good halfassed business model

lmao this dude has massively ratioed Dilbert twice in a row

I know he's a right wing reactionary crank now but I didn't know that was actually making it into the comic strip (which I assumed was 100% user submissions by now)

https://dilbert.com/strip/2021-09-05

idk what's sadder, the idea that he thought he could make "woke robot" funny or the fact that he gives up on the premise halfway through an 8-panel comic strip

Oh Scott you fucking dweeb, "did you just assume my gender?" - is that really all you can come up with?

He didn't give up on the premise! In addition to their obsession with gender, the 'woke' are soulless automatons, do u c. Another instance of massive right-wing projection, I do c.

clicked back two months in the archives, he legitimately seems to have no idea how to write a coherent joke any more. looked at some 90s strips to compare, definitely not a case of "it was always bad". even though the strip doesn't hold up too well it still had like...actual punchlines

It's just what happens when your entire comic strip m.o. becomes polemical butthurt.

"it rhymes with gunkyard" is pretty rough stuff there

That's wordplay

seems to have no idea how to write a coherent joke any more

Because his early stuff was taken from situations he encountered in his last cubicle job, and then the mid period stuff is cribbing from situations his fans have emailed him about that they've experienced.

he’s at least two levels of detached from anyone who is actually working a mundane job and had the brain capacity to find humor in corporate jargon or the nuances of everyday life

true but he also just doesn't have any interest in writing actual humor anymore, I mean look at this shit

I still crack up at this one: https://dilbert.com/strip/1997-09-10

... which I actually quoted on this thread as my first post to it 17 years ago, wow

If you want a real flavour of the man Adams, he has uploaded thousands of videos of him drinking coffee and talking absolute shit, tried watching one and got about 20 seconds in

Oh youtube embed code, here to save us from Adams

That’s a shame

good for her

Has the tweet been deleted?

guess so. funniest part about this is her kids from a previous relationship are still living with him, which is exactly the sort of thing that would've happened to Dilbert

the funniest part is her explaining that the age difference became a problem

Yeah I guess she got too old for him

someone got the screenshot

I remember hearing the idiot Dilbert guy had a young Instagram model wife and thought "this is one relationship that's gonna last". Oh well you can't always be right about everything. pic.twitter.com/SxHKXiSwhZ

It is breast cancer but with the radiation and chemo They should be kept intact 👍🏽

hope she’s doing ok, and wtf at contemplating the fact she’s both got cancer and weathering a divorce. is SA the guy who divorces a cancer patient? maybe!

he probably tried to convince her that she could cure her cancer by writing "I will be cancer free" on a piece of paper 15 times a day

is SA the guy who divorces a cancer patient? maybe!

He is terrible. How can someone divorce their spouse during cancer?

Not sure how. But I guess he was really angry or something
