What a fucking clown. Nobody gives as fuck about what you think, Scott Adams. Dilbert always sucked ass.
Had to chuckle at “My first impression was a tie, which I called a Harris victory” they just cannot accept loss. Even when Trump objectively loses, it’s “a tie” he just considers it a Harris victory because he’s such a clever political operator (lol).
Sure thing, bud. I think all that copium has fucked up your brain even more.
he does know that people recall it because they’re mocking trump right
If people ever wonder how someone like Trump got elected in the first place, this is the prime example of why. “I forgot everything except the one thing he lied about the most, genius”.
“I only remember the most ridiculous part of the debate, so whoever said that was the winner.”
In the 30 second attention span era this is all that counts.
Sure, Kamala won the debate but does that get more people voting for her?
I doubt it will get more people to vote for Trump. The election is his to lose at this point.
Is this the same Scott Adams of Dilbert fame? He’s been a political weirdo for years and years, so naturally he’d allow himself this cognitive dissonance.
He fell into the trap of thinking his success came from being a genius, so when people don’t like his crappy opinions he just assumes everyone else is wrong
This explanation is awesomely succinct and also explains some people I know that I could never easily pinpoint why they bothered me. Thanks!
That’s tough. Good perspective, hopefully he’ll see this and do some reflecting on his life. Probably not but I still hope so
Unfortunately people like him rarely do. He got Dilbert dropped from most papers in 2023 for (in the most charitable interpretation) having a completely tone deaf reaction to a poll about race relations. Rather than think about why everyone got so angry with him he said his words were taken out of context and that they were hyperbole.

Part of the plotline involved a black character who “identif[ied] as white” and the company management asking him if he could also identify as gay.
I know he never would, but I really want him to give the proper context for that to not be offensive.
That’s pretty funny in the sense of a company trying to sell themselves as diverse and whatnot while being really offensive to the actual people. I can see a corporation doing that
Yes it is. He went full MAGA early on.
He’s basically Milton from Office Space
He won the debate because you are stupid enough to be influenced by shock politics, got it. Just admit it, you don’t want a debate, you never wanted it, you just wanted a spectacle, and that’s something your cult leader can easily provide because it’s just a matter of bullshit to him, not fact. Scott Adams, a has-been in mediocre corporate entertainment, praising entertainment based politics, who could have guessed?
Some fucked up part of me wants Trump to succeed and allow all of his fascist dreams come to fruition, just to see the looks on these clowns faces when they realized they are responsible for cementing fascist rule in the US.
Unfortunately, I know that in reality, they never will. Their brains will not allow it.
But to just see the look of realization when they start seeing their friends, family, and neighbors executed for being homosexual, or having an abortion 2 decades prior. “Oops.”
Of course, then I snap out of it and realize I’m not a sociopath.
It would be awesome if they could have exactly what they’re voting for but it applies only to the people who supported it.
Trump panders to the frightened and the hateful.
And Fox is built to produce and incubate fear and hate.
“directionally correct” is a fun euphemism for “false, unless you assume some insane slippery slope argument”.
more like “it isn’t true, but it feels like the kind of thing that would be true about the people I don’t like”
It means that it doesn’t have to be true if it targets people they love to hate.
Tell the masses what they want to hear.
Directionally correct.
Really? Because I remember him getting body slammed by the moderators. There were EMTs on the set and everything.
“Directionally correct,” the fuck does that mean? “Yes, it is an absolute lie. But actually they are all inherently like that.” This is a guy who wants pogroms.
Brainrot on full display.
Directionally correct? That’s an interesting turn of phrase. So basically saying it’s not right but it feels like it could be right? That’s some straight bullshit right there.
Fascist reasoning–we “know” immigrants are evil therefore making up shit about them to gin up anti-immigrant sentiment is morally justified–if not required.
He thinks there’s some Truthiness.
I feel like it’s the ultimate catch all. Absolutely anything is directionally correct. Flat earth? I mean the earth has a shape and there are plenty of flat shapes so it’s directionally correct. Bigfoot? Easy. There are plenty of animals with very large feet. Directionally correct. Hatians eating dogs? Hatians eat animals with four legs and there are both hatians and animals with 4 legs in the United States. Directionally correct. Checkmate Kambala!
The only thing I remember about this windbag is that he used to make a mildly entertaining comic strip about modern work culture, and then he took a blow to the head or something and sadly became incoherent.
He lost his mind in the divorce.
Gee, I can’t imagine why anyone would want to divorce him.
Dilbert always sucked. I feel like it’s like 90s Big Bang Theory in comic form. “Look, I’m a nerd just like you guys!”
i watched the dilbert animated show and it was hilarious. he only wrote two episodes of it though.
also i don’t think it was about being a nerd. it was about being a normal dude in a corporate world where everyone seems incompetent, dumb or crazy. it’s basically the office.
It was supposed to be written for nerds, like Big Bang Theory. The Office was not.
Maybe you forget the specific type of humor present in Dilbert comics? But most layman would not get 90% of the “jokes”.
eh, he had a technical profession but i didn’t think the humor relied on anything too obscure. i might be misremembering; it’s definitely possible.
The character is a nerd, but the humor is not simply “have you tried turning it off and on again.” The jokes are generally not about anything technical but about micromanagement by a dumb boss, hierarchy and HR disasters, and terrible office relations with self-centered asses. It should be relatable by anyone slightly technical with diploma who works in an office, and that should be a lot of people not in manual labor in the 90s. Like, if you use Excel or PowerPoint, you’re in the target for that humor.
Oh, the resolutions and the viewpoints and the nihilism are totally nerd-centric though.
yeah that’s pretty much what I thought. shame he turned out to be such a chud. and an extremely racist one too. like, he was arguing for segregation and shit.
I thought Dilbert had its moments.
I couldn’t get through a single episode of Big Bang Theory, so I don’t really know much about it.
Why do so many people hate tbbt? I’m a huge nerd and I mostly loved it
I can’t speak for others, but I felt like it was trying too hard. That, and “nerd” culture has been mainstream since at least the release of the Lord of the Rings movies. To act like they’re all some kind of outcasts because of their interests in previously outre things like Dungeons and Dragons or particle physics was just disingenuous.
Nerds are still angry about a show that normalized hot women dating nerdy guys?
Is this the Dilbert guy?
Yup
Nice to see Scott Adams is still an unrepentant chode.
Scott Adams couldn’t even write the best Dilbert comic.
Didn’t expect to see the Dilbert guy talking about Trump’s long balls this morning
It’s on brand for him really. The guy was weird long before we started using Weird as an insult.
Then obviously you never heard the Behind the Bastards episode on him. This tweet is typical Scott.
Strong copium vibes from Adams…
I guess Howard Dean won because all anyone can remember is his scream.
I guess Romney won because all anyone can remember is “binders full of women”.
People laughing at and being disgusted with the convicted felon / village idiot is not a win.
