Yep. He did not have an engineering background, despite Dilbert being an engineer. He was not in the cubes with us grunts.
Yeah yeah yeah, the CIA and the military never did anything secretly and thatās why we donāt have any secrets and itās not a crime to reveal them. Ha ha stoopid conspiratards is only tangentially on topic here.
Wow. I have no words for how dumb that is.
Well, it cured Americaās drug problem, why not terrorism?
Go onā¦
They have a point. If you see a giant talking dog in a trenchcoat, youāve taken too many of the wrong kinds of drugs
Or just enough of the RIGHT kind!
When your drugs tell you to not do drugs, thatās gotta mean something.
Waitā¦ he has a bad reaction to bullies, so heās endorsing the biggest bully ever to get into the public spotlight?
It seems to me that a lot of people that were bullied donāt want to dismantle the social systems that allowed them to be bulliedā¦ they just want to rearrange them so theyāre at the ātopā and doing the bullying instead of being on the ābottomā and receiving itā¦
See uh GiraffeGate and all the āfake geek girlsā ranting shithead in comic book, videogame, sci fi, and every other fandom where stunted males may dwell under bridges and feel angry that women enjoy.
Even though women were involved in all these fandoms and cons and costuming in the 70s as wellā¦
I canāt blame solely āstunted malesā - both genders do this: see Mean Girls who grow up to be in charge of the PTA, or the people elected to condo boards, or reallyā¦ everyone. We all grew up in some sort of social hierarchy, it takes an effort to see it, and more effort to step out of it. Probably in a lot of ways its easier to stay in it.
But they donāt as commonly bully the āother sexā in the entire field of interest.
I didnāt know we were discussing genderā¦ I thought we were discussing bullies?
Nerd/fandom bullies ābecause they were bulliedā are always a fertile source of discussion.
And the man has actually come out and apologized to people when he was wrong on a particular topic. He once Bullshitted! climate change theory, but then later came around to the overwhelming scientific evidence. Intelligently changing oneās mind in public is such an amazingly rare occurrence, and when I see it, I find the person instantly likable.
Iām voting for the racist, misogynistic candidate because his opponents call him sexist and misogynistic, and I think thatās unfair bullying, because I was once passed over for a promotion that went to an obviously less qualified woman instead, a butthurt Iāve based so much of my recent career on.
OH LADIES, PLEASE FIND ME RELEVANT!!! I JUST WANT TO TRY WITH THE SEX!!!
This kind of behavior illustrates how the āskepticā community are basically Randroids. Theyāre right-wing libertarian atheists who think theyāre smarter than everybody else.
When Michael Shermer publicly changed his position on global warming, he didnāt write about any scientific evidence. He wrote about how he met evangelical Christians who believed in global warming. That is, he perceived that his side was losing political support.
I enjoy Scott Adamsā comic, the late lamented Dilbert TV show & occasionally his blog. And heās always been nice to me.
That said, I donāt require political purity in humorists.
Neither do I. But then again, stuff like this is complete and contemptible BS on his part:
Basically, Iām the same as a child and Iām āmentally handicapā to boot. I donāt see why I should sit here quietly when people make such assertions. Itās not only obviously wrong, itās hurtful, too. I see no reason to put up with MRA nonsense out of anyone, much less humorists. Being asked to be treated with equal respect is not something that should get me called names.
