Dilbert

Post by RobYob »

Scott Adams, dies at 68 six months after a cancer diagnosis.

I wonder how long (if ever) it takes for the rose tinted glasses to come back for a deceased artist who was also a twat.

Sounds like a horrible aggressive cancer so I’m glad his suffering is over. But remember him this way: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/202 ... t-comments

I used to enjoy those, I had no idea he was also a moron.

Its a shame when stuff you like turns out to have been created by idiots, like when the chap from binky turned out to be a mad vaccine denier.

Scott Adams was also a vaccine denier - though that's more wibble than his other views which were simply offensive.

My hypnotherapist turned from being an incredibly interesting guy with life experiences you just can't imagine to being a Brexit Trumpeting Reform GE candidate (he didn't win).

Shame because between me any my other half, he has been lifechanging

Remember kids, live your life in a way that won't cause people to go "Oh, that utter twat" when you die.

He sounds like a TAUC. I knew Dilbert had been cancelled but hadn't appreciated the depth of his cvntery.

Also, if you were wondering just how stupid he is, he got prostate cancer and instead of getting, you know, treatment, he took Ivermectin - remember when that was en vogue among the fuckwits?

https://www.npr.org/2025/05/20/nx-s1-54 ... ncer-biden

It then got so bad that his insurance refused him emergency treatment because he was so late stage that it wasn't worth it. He then begged Trump to 'fix it' for him with the health provider. The outcome of that is self evident.

He literally died to own the libs.

I've often thought you should respect people who are sincere in their beliefs, and by his own actions he demonstrated that he clearly believed what he spouted.

I now know that you shouldn't respect people simply because they are sincere in their beliefs, so thank you Scott Adams for that learning.

It feels like there was a time not so long ago when your original stance was reasonable, or maybe that's wearing the most rose tinted specs ever? Either way, like you, I think those days are gone.
