why cant he use his seventeen dimension hyper brain magnetic hypnotism skills to get himself a new book contract?

or maybe strategically lose his ability to speak again. ideally applying it to twitter as well, but the instigating incident would have been prevented with some dysphonia.

Just 100% poo poo demon racists commiserating with him. It took about 10 replies down before I found someone blaming the (((media owners))).

If you still have a Twitter account there's something wrong with you

That's good. Probably healthier to not interact with it in any way, though.

he isn't a complete moron so i think he probably figured this was inevitable because he was always a shithead

if you look at past semi-recent dilbert strips there isn't anything even resembling a joke in them. at least the early ones had an identifiable punchline, even if it didn't land at all

i admit kind of liking the animated series when i saw it in reruns but i don't think a dilbert strip has ever made me actually laugh. even the animated show didn't really, and from what i can tell scott adams had barely anything to do with it

SA continues to have this amazing capacity to not recognize that other social networks are neither small nor uniform blocs, which is ironic given that SA, small as it is, is not a uniform bloc. same poo poo where we were like "EVERYONE ON REDDIT IS THERE FOR /r/jailbait (and we deny any history that may even suggest a thread of connection between us, 4chan, and that subreddit!)"!

oddly enough, the japanese art and central asia academia twitter spheres never interact with scott adams or anyone in his replies! it's as if large enough social networks often develop disparate and largely separate communities or something

the analogy isn't that we're all at the nazi bar, it's that the nazi bar and the other bars all take cash, and sometimes people exchange cash and interact outside the bars because we all use the same currency

the animated series was profoundly different in tone from the comics. it leaned hard into absurdism. dilbert swaps jobs with a security guard and has to deal with an illegal casino that he finds in the building. wally is transformed into a fly. etc. i can't imagine that scott dilbert had much to do with it

People here still seem to not understand that it's possible to use reddit in a way other than just reading the default subreddits and therefore attribute viewpoints people express on those to all of reddit

yeah i remember liking it but i'll be damned if i can actually remember many details. since each episode was around a half hour it's a fair bet adams had nothing to do with it, he obviously can't come up with that much material
