Scott Adams endorses Trump, becomes respected pundit

Yes, I was joking. That’s the panel from the BB story on MRA Dilbert.

Dilbert is still in syndication? I haven’t see that strip in over 16 years. Must be Obama’s fault! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Likely the best joke he has come up with in years

yes, that does seem Tumpesque, also have you ever noticed how small Dilbert’s hands are and how big his head is???

And here are two interesting ones - on Clinton and bullying:

And then on Trump:

Make of that whatever you will, I guess. I sort of take away this idea that when men bully, it’s good but when women bully, it’s bad.

*see also ambition, public speaking, not smiling, getting fairly paid, wanting to be president, video game journalism…

…okay this list is too depressing to continue. :angry::sob:

This whole thread would have been so much better if we were all just posting MRA Dilberts.

There’s a few outstanding queries to me in here.

Do y’all want me to respond?

  • please don’t. It’s tedious.
  • please don’t. You’ve expressed your views.
  • please don’t. My questions were rhetorical.
  • please don’t. You disrupt the narrative.
  • don’t go away mad, just go away please.
  • go away with your head stuck firmly up your posterior.
  • I will call @falcor if you don’t shut up now.
  • yes, but only because I like to suffer.
  • yes, because I hate you. Dance, puppet, dance!
  • yes! please continue sharing your intriguing and delightful viewpoint!

I can see you’re really loving how this thread has become all about you. I also have a better idea now of why you would worship a blathering, narcissistic manchild like Scott Adams.

What I’d like you to do isn’t reflected on that, which is pay attention to what I’m saying and engaging with that. If at the end of this, you still find Adams position defensible, then that’s fine. I’m not losing sleep over it. What I am irked as is your refusal to address my concern, which is that you seem to think that you are in a position to better understand misogyny when you see it. If you think you can, I’d wish you’d say so. If you don’t believe that, then say that too. You’ve been maddeningly vague in response to my questions. Or at least say that you don’t think they are important enough to answer…

“I’d like to add you to my professional network on Linkedin”, perhaps.

Wow, this thread became a shitshow, rather like Adams himself.

Over 14, for me, but that’s how long since I’ve had a newspaper delivered to my home.

His writing becomes more relevant as a direct relation to one’s ability to intelligently understand more than one form of literary expression. And he never claimed to be Mark Twain.

“Please don’t. It’s tedious” and “Please don’t. You disrupt the narrative” are one and the same to me. On this board and others, and probably every board in existence, topics tend to spin out into a wankfest over minutia, discussed heavily by only a couple participants. It’s hard for anyone not involved in the wankfest to pick up the thread again, or even to continue reading.

Basically, if we don’t get that Adams is employing satire, there is something deficient in our intelligence, or so some see it.

Honestly, I’m tired of trying to explain the problem and am not sure I care much anymore…

Ha ha only serious is the oily South Park Republican’s modus operandi.

It’s not satire, it’s not parodic, and their senses of humor are stunted.

It’s the opposite: those who are incapable (or refuse) to intelligently understand more than one form of literary expression are more likely to find his writing relevant.
