i tried to find the blog posts scott adams did where he tried to textually hypnotize the reader into sexual ecstasy, and it is the first search i’ve done in years that i felt i needed to do incognito.

“Scott Adams” posted:The reality is that women are treated differently by society for exactly the same reason that children and the mentally handicapped are treated differently. It's just easier this way for everyone. You don't argue with a four-year old about why he shouldn't eat candy for dinner. You don't punch a mentally handicapped guy even if he punches you first. And you don't argue when a women tells you she's only making 80 cents to your dollar. It's the path of least resistance. Later he cried about how MRAs twisted his words and “to the women who were offended by their own or someone else’s interpretation of what I wrote, I apologize.”

Since food service industry and unfunny comic strips go hand in hand maybe the goon wants to open a cafe in the lovely part of Houston should name their fine establishment DilbertSucks

Daikloktos posted:It's even more hosed up because a major thesis of his early nonfiction was how modern society is so complicated even the smartest of us spends most of their time being abject dumbasses. But when you have a blog and a captured audience hanging on your every word for twenty years you're bound to go a little insane with power I would imagine that having a contractual obligation to produce a daily syndicated comic strip does not help at all in terms of being 20 years removed from your subject matter and still resisting the desire to wander off into commentary on things you got in your newsfeed that day Presuming, that is, that you can't just have "Dogbert eats a lasagna and then Dilbert is mad about it" and draw it slightly differently every strip

I think being featured in the Dilbert(tm) comic would be an insult enough to anyone who ends up in this loathsome position.

Just like Frank Miller, Scott Adams’ stuff was good when I was a kid but then matured past him and realized how stupid his work was

Daikloktos posted:He certainly falls back on the easy character gags to pad out his productivity but, as you say, what made Dilbert such a cultural phenomenon in the 90's was the specificity of its subject. Office workers would read a strip about being assigned rotating cubicles or getting reorganized into a workgroup apart from your project team to build some manager's fiefdom or the excitement of finally getting an internet connection to goof off on and it connected with them. But obviously the further Adams got from his time as an engineer and the more the corporate landscape changed the harder it was to maintain incisive commentary. You can tell in his early 2000s strips when he tries to tackle new management fads like ISO 9000 or Seven Sigma he only has a second-hand, surface level understanding that he tries to paper over by analogizing them to his increasingly irrelevant experiences - I haven't kept up with the strip but I can only imagine his poor grasp on the nuances of open-plan floorspace or agile development. So he could either give up on being a relevant satirist with #1 bestselling pop philosophy books under his belt or he could transition to the field where he was still vital - being an early-internet blogger. And as a result, instead of only being thought about these days by used bookstore patrons and people flipping through Comedy Central at 1 am he gets invited on Fox News to discuss the nuclear crisis in North Korea. Cool they invited the talking office building to stand behind him

The Dilberito was actually an early attempt at Soylent or Huel - the idea was it was nutritionally complete so 90s socially maladjusted engineers wouldn't have to deal with actually thinkin about food

I honestly imagined Ned Flanders being more buff, fresh faced and healthy looking. Anyhow I remember enjoying both of Scotts books when I was about 17. That is roughly twenty years ago. I was doing work experience at the time and my work placement was a high-school. I could really relate to the letters section of his book where people sent him stories of clueless luddites trying to understand computers. Most of the stories sounded like urban legends - who hasn't heard of that guy who complained about his CD-ROM disc tray not being strong enough to hold a cup of coffee or that it closes automatically spilling poo poo everywhere? I have actually met people like that. I honestly, no joke, met a man who took a hammer and nail to the corners of his floppy disks to magically transform them into high density.

I'm not a certified genius so my brain can't fully comprehend why that comic is supposed to be funny. Is the joke that paying too much attention to measurements of things and taking random things apart just for curiosity's sake are things that men, and not women, would stereotypically do? Or is it just wacky, random stuff that no person would stereotypically do?
