Dilbert - C or D?

won't go so far as to say that he planned it, but i'll bet this is the most fulfilled he's been in years

he's presumably set for life financially, i can't imagine that he actually enjoys drawing dilbert, and after years of crying about his victimhood -- 'if biden wins i'll probably be dead within six months' -- he now has something concrete to point to . . . despite it being entirely of his own doing

'more divorced' = blaming your divorce on 'how all women are'

xxp this is where I realise that the "divorced guy energy" thing is a left twitter meme and not universally understood

first your wife divorces you, then you get divorced from reality

I disagree with ya there mookie. He doesn't enjoy doing Dilbert but it brings in tons of cash and still makes him relevant. it's his ace in the hole for any of his dumb debates too. "if I'm so stupid and wrong, how come I made millions doing newspaper comics when I can't even draw?" before this no matter what dumb shit he said he was still the guy behind a universally known comic strip. now he's the dude who lost his comic strip because he was so racist. not to mention his book publishing deal, which I suspect he cares about more. I mean sure he's probably cool with not having to do it anymore but it can't feel good to just destroy your whole legacy like that.

I'm sure he pulled a Jason Richards and now, rather than admitting it, he's doubling down.

I’m laughing thinking about the idea of people someday reading an Adams biography like people read a Charles Schulz bio

these are old -- and possibly were posted upthread -- but this is the level of cognition we are dealing with here. scott adams is crazy.

This is a man who published a best-selling book in the 90s where he earnestly argued that the only reason he was famous is because he wrote “I will be a successful cartoonist” 10 times on a napkin. It has been known that he is crazy for decades.

I can always get more cancelled

Now that I have no anchor on my free speech, tomorrow will be fun.

I guarantee he will absolutely not have any new material ready by tomorrow. This man’s only come up with maybe one half-recycled idea a month for decades. Now he’s just recycling weird racism

prediction: he will say the gamer word in the next 24 hours

He will introduce a character named BLMbert

Born in Watford, Hertforshire, England, Jason first started modeling for Sensodyne at just 6 months old. He was the face of the advert 'He's Ready For His First Toothbrush', featured in practically every dentist in the UK at the time.

He went on to star in King Ralph (1991) starring John Goodman and later starred in Jewels (1992) with Annette O'Toole.

Jason was also the face of television commercials and was known as a catalog model.

He attended Nothwood Prep School from 1991 and the Royal Hospital School near Ipswich, UK from 2001. He continues to live in Hertforshire, England but has intentions to move to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada in the near future.

ok

I still can’t figure out what the good faith reading of his comments is supposed to be

Apparently to understand his comments in context you have to watch a two hour video?!?!?!

he was basically saying "we white ppl cant do ANYTHING right right now! best thing to do is stay away from black people so we cant be accused of anything and get canceled!"

v stupid man

this is good on the indulgence of Adams and others like him

The phrase "Still no disagreement about my point of view." is very funny to me, idk why

Because it immediately follows unambiguous proof of disagreement with his point of view

“This was not a hard decision,” was great. Just 100% unadulterated crushing proof.

Proof! Thanks autocorrect, I know I typed oof

conservative trolls love this One Weird Trick where they pretend things don't have any context, so they can say things like "All Lives Matter" both as a way to minimize BLM and to get liberals to disagree so they can point and say "wow look they're the real racists!" same logic that makes them go "ok folks the OK sign now means Heil Hilter" so they can say "wow liberals triggered by the OK sign!". Scott Adams is I think the rare troll who legitimately thinks nobody understands the obvious, either that or he really is that insanely racist

I’m not going to link cos the tweet contains a racial slur but someone dug up an ancient forum post about it & this was mentioned by other people.

In like 2003 or 2004 someone on a forum I used looked up Scott Adams’s email address on AIM and he had multiple explicitly racist handles on there, one of which was just like “I hate [n-word]”

They emailed him to ask if those were his and he responded in one word, “no”

— Katelyn Best (@BestKabest) February 27, 2023

eh that was the era before email verification, if I remember the old days of AIM you just needed to have any ol' email address in there. so most likely some teenager probably just nicked it from the funny pages.

"Publisher of Scott Adams' non-Dilbert Books" must be the lowest title at the professional conference.

more like god's mépris

frogbs how many more blatantly racist things does Scott Adams have to say before you're sure?

I love how he tries to portray himself as "helping" black people. Who asked for his help? How is he qualified to help anyone? His entire life is a shambles.

hate to say it but I actually found a funny Dilbert cartoon

ok I admit "either" was a bad choice of words, just saying the vast majority of famous conservatives know you don't go full Kanye/Nick Fuentes if you want to keep your job, so you have to offer some layer of plausible deniability, and the way Scott Adams does this is hilariously bad, like "they can't arrest you if you declare yourself a sovereign citizen" type logic

instead of turning the racism dial back and forth, he's hitting an airhorn and record scratch button when people complain about the racism

those tweets about his stepson were legit disturbing. Sounds like he refused to pay for rehab or something and the kid died? And then he took this attitude of "There was no way anyone could have stopped this, in fact it's better that he died because he was dangerous to others (me)"

Sounded like he blamed society for his failures as a (step) parent.

just astonishing stuff

Another interesting take. https://t.co/VQ42nYkZL8

Sometimes you have so many galaxy brains they form their own mega-cluster(fuck)

The fulcrum of foolishness

I think the stepson situation was genuinely tragic and the weird gymnastics in his tweet about it boil down to his inability to accept failure, instead inventing some weird version of stoicism where the universe will do one of two things

this guy has got to be doing some mega drugs

he's a master persuader

he should shoot himself in the groin at a Dave & Buster's to similarly locate himself at the fulcrum of US gun control power

“One, Dilbert needs to be louder, angrier, and have access to a time machine. Two, whenever Scott's not onscreen during a TV debate about race, all the other guests should be asking ‘Where’s Scott?'”

the overt racism is probably gonna overshadow everything but it's truly astonishing how thoroughly weird this guy is, and maybe always has been. like even in The Dilbert Future he spent one chapter trying to disprove gravity and another crediting all his success to writing down his goals 15 times on a piece of paper. he once wrote a blog post saying he could give you the best orgasms of your life and claimed a bunch of people wrote him to say he made them jizz in their pants. he said he knew hypnotism was real because he was once "hypnotized" into spending thousands of dollars on camgirls. at one point he developed Spasmodic Dysphonia and for a year could apparently only speak in rhyme (unfortunately for his career, he did eventually regain his ability to speak). he tried opening a restaurant which failed spectacularly because, according to the people he hired, literally the only thing he cared about was the lighting. there's so much more I'm probably forgetting.

hypnotism is real

possibly not for his reason

guess that's why he's broke and they're so paid

He has a "Dilbert shaped wall" in his house and, in looking for that, I found a news article that — if I'm reading this correctly — is about some time in 2004 where he had a computer drew a dream house on the internet like Bongo or Bart Simpson and that made the news?

https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2004-11-21-0411210357-story.html

There's also a urinal in Dilbert's master bath

I would love to hear him disprove gravity in rhyme.... ysi?
