When the person saying something is totally batshit, you most definitely ‘consider’ their complete lack of a relationship with the same reality that the rest of us inhabit.

Then, I’m guessing you meant, “I won’t pester you then.” I get weirded out when I hear someone say, “I fuck with Kanye” to mean “I enjoy Kanye.”
I mean Wilkes-Barre/Scranton is obviously Pens territory.

It’s projection. The far right loves its dog whistles and secret symbols (
), so its members assume everyone else must be doing the same thing.

hey wait. what are you saying!? if you don’t force yourself to read his comic every morning, afternoon, and evening, you’re participating in cancel culture and submitting to extremist liberal mind control.
( i wish this was obvious sarcasm. but then i heard bits and pieces from the republican convention. )

For the longest time I believed his whole neo-objectivism cultist wizard schtick was some sort of Andy Kaufman-esque long con prank that he was trying to pull on people just for the nihilistic heck of it. Like some sort of really deep in-joke for the superfans. But I guess I just overestimated him because I liked his early material.
How did it go all the way from cute jokes about corporate incompetence to … well… this? Has anyone tracked his writings closely enough to find the “breaking point”?

I think he was actually a salesperson at PacBell, not an engineer…he got a lot of material from co-workers who were engineers, as I understand it ( I worked in telecom at the time, there were a few inside jokes; there was one arc about chocolat bars going missing in desk drawers overnight that was a reference to one of Kevin Mitnick’s pranks ).

Not to mention his family owns a building with a 666 address, but I guess that’s a stretch compared to this evidence.
The scales have fallen from my eyes.

I remember watching maybe 2 or 3 episodes when it came out back in the 90s and wanting to enjoy it but finding myself unable to do so.
Even back then his misogyny should have been pretty apparent. IIRC the second episode is about Dilbert falling for an evil Valkerie/ball-busting/power-tripping woman who literally decorates her office with the heads of men she seduced and manipulated for personal career gain.

I kind of waited through 2-3 of his podcasts waiting for presence of mind to roll a 20 and it kept hitting -6. I guess this is my reminder to be livid about http3 compression not being the mode.

Who used to live at 666 St Cloud in Bel Air. Until they changed the address to 668 to fool people (true story)

It’s called humor folks. May not be super funny, but that’s what it is.
Nope.
You don’t get to spend years promoting racist/sexist/conspiracy nonsense to a credulous crowd and then say you were only joking.
Even if he had followed up by saying he was only joking. Which he hasn’t.
