Dilberito creator Scott Adams has passed away.
>>21831083Oh no! Anyway...
Death shouldn't be feared.
>>21831083Hi
S
Lmfao l.
>>21831091This is true... I 'died' from hypoxia and had a NDE floating above my body. All was calm and peaceful.
>>21831083gonna make one today in his honor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6xNyGZdqC8
>>21831104Weak bait is weak. You should get a better job
I cant believe that /ck/ is where I first got this news. Dude was actually pretty cool and had mostly good advice for people
>>21831128He was a crank and an idiot that pissed away his cartoonist legacy
>>21831134Thank you for your kindness
>>21831083He died doing what he loved. Owning the libs.
>>21831142Hating on a stupid reactionary shtibag is, in fact, kindness to the many fine people who are not that.
>>21831157Hate is a virtue
>>21831157based
>>21831134Just one of many examples of people who were better off when we didn't know much about them. Twitter and subsequently Podcasts ruined the mystique of so many celebrities, authors and athletes. People used to just see him as a bit of a weirdo, then his sparsely read blog became a twitter and he died with everyone knowing he was a hate-filled jackass. To a lesser extent you have guys like Stephen King on one end and JK Rowling on the other end who spend all their time splitting their legacy in two. Pissing off a good chunk of their fanbase in an attempt to own the easily owned president again or get mad at another transsexual outrage article. But Adams made Stephen King's good guy Liberalism and JK Rowling's obsessive Transphobia look meager.
>>21831208>he was a hate-filled jackass.not true at all even though the media has made him out to seem that wayTaking the worst things someone says out of context ,then twisting that into a hit piece is what really has changed. I think most of the people you no longer like as you say are probably victims of this because it really drives clicks and makes tons of money for a failing industry.Stephen king and JK are also perfectly fine people who just have opinions I dont agree with
>>21831208Rowling didn't even start out that way, she's just too midwit to understand social media. Everyone gets into stupid twitter arguments and knows when to just log out and touch some grass, but since she was a Very Famous Person she decided she had to "win", found out shit doesn't work like that on twitter, and figured she could use her fanbase as a personal army to win a stupid argument about trannies and toilets. Then her movie stars were like "nah that's your fight not mine" and her only options were to capitulate (obviously not gonna happen) or make her ENTIRE LIFE AND FORTUNE dedicated to seething over trannies 24/7. So now instead of being known as the harry potter lady she will be known for generations as the angry trannybrained lady. Kind of like that orange juice lady who was a moderately successful singer in her time I guess but that's not why she's remembered.Adams is more of a run of the mill B-list dumbass, like Sydney Sweeney, he overestimated how popular he really was and ended up pissing off his main fan base and trading that for men who look like the "Falling Down" character. Also food and cooking.p.s. Also food and cooking.
>>21831257context was never the issue lmao
>>21831272It for sure was
>>21831266I think Rowling is allowed to argue online about whatever she likes. Canceling people is just stupid crowd behavior and you should not live in fear of it
>>21831157The loops evil people go though to seem good are crazy
>>21831266People still like Harry Potter no matter how unlikable she may be to trans people and their allies. They just made a giant new Harry Potter theme park in Florida, the Harry Potter musical is among the most tenured shows on Broadway and the West End, and in cities and tourist destinations across the world there are Harry Potter stores labeled "must visit, get a Butterbeer" for tourists. Hell every time I go on Amazon's Streaming service or go onto a subway I get to see ads for a new full cast Audiobook dub. Harry Potter is untouchable in people's minds, just like there are plenty of die-hard Trumpers watching Stephen King adaptations.Overall there are a lot of people online who give some serious shits about JK Rowling, but once you get past the Twitter/Reddit/4chan crowd you see most people prefer to identify with a Hogwarts house than care what Rowling tweeted about a person in Glasgow pissing in a public toilet.
>>21831316Some people bond over hatred, I feel like this was not nearly as common as it is today
>>21831321>Harry Potter is untouchable in people's minds, just like there are plenty of die-hard Trumpers watching Stephen King adaptations.You know, I really hope this is true. This is the world I want to live in
>>21831114Not bait. Hope you die so you can experience it. Just don't come back like me, you aren't built for spirituality.
>>21831325I really can't imagine Pete Hegseth and Marco Rubio getting together to discuss the security threats related to AI and not getting on a conversation about Maximum Overdrive and subsequently watching it while doing bumps at every explosion.
>>21831341Is this all you're capable of? Do you consider this a form of intimidation?
>>21831279Thanks Grok! Cancel culture is out of control isn't it?>>21831321Yeah but have you walked past one of those stores? It's tourists from the middle east and south asia, first world tourists don't go near it. Of course that franchise is not going to die any time soon but in the western world people associate it with something controversial now
>>21831366I see plenty of Americans and Western Europeans with Cursed Child Playbills and Harry Potter scarves, beanies, sweaters and bags. People just don't care, and if they do care they compartmentalize it.
>>21831382We must live in different realities, I haven't seen anything like that in at least 10 years other than the Las Vegas Strip and the neighborhood of NYC where the Harry Potter store is located
>>21831091True, but also it shouldn't be lusted over. Man often choses the extreme.
>>21831266That woman would have a right to be pissed. If he was not sure he was interested in her, he should have spit the bill and not let her pay. Dude is a little bitch for sure
>>21831083anyone have the dilbert cartoon clip where something hits him in the butt?
>>21831366>Thanks Grok!what does grok have to do with any of this?
>he didn't take a solution of chlorine dioxide and dimethylsulfoxide several times dailyno wonder he didn't make it
>>21831406You can be interested in someone and not ready to have sex. Just hire an escort instead of treating random people like one via paying for dinner lol.
All he said is White People should treat Black People with indifference because Black People treat White People with hostility no matter what is done to try and mend relations.He only said don't waste effort on trying to make people who hate you like you.I dunno, I'm eastern euro. Someone tell me the problem with saying "Don't worship people who gleefully murder you."
>>21831422The last part.
>>21831427Well then I wish your people a speedy extinction if you enjoy being massacred.
>>21831422Funny, there are a million articles calling him racist and hate-filled, even in death, but so few that actually say what he did wrong.Reminds of the 'it's okay to be white' thing: 6 gorillion articles slamming the 'hate posters', and a complete aversion to showing what they actually said.They are afraid to let people think.
Food and cooking?
>>21831422>Someone tell me the problem with saying "Don't worship people who gleefully murder you."When you enslave a race of people you have to let them be mean to you for the next five hundred years. Those are the rules
>>21831208No one is forcing these people to vomit their opinions into the public spaceIt is their fault for being so narcissistic that they think writing a book about wizards means people should care about their politics
>>21831422oh yeah, dude was totally normal and balanced.
>>21831466kek'd
>>21831466That is funny as well as making a good point.How is any of that unhinged?
>>21831476This guy definitely saw Joker
>>21831476because he died of prostate cancer.
>>21831476It is funny, if it was a self effacing kind of funny ("ha ha I'm so stubborn I'm going to make a really tortured argument rather than concede look at me trololol") it would be one thing, but you know this guy was genuinely thinking "oh yeah? well what if you stick your finger up your dad's ass huh??! what then!??!?", it's twitter brainrot not an argument
>>21831480Is the joker really that good?
>>21831487no
>>21831485Surely there are more persuasive tweets you could find. I am not fussed about anything so far
>>21831491I don't know what the other guy was trying to persuade you about, I just saw the screenshot and your analysis of it which I found lacking
>>21831485>>21831466>>21831476Like most things with Adams there is a teeny tiny grain of truth in his hilariously poorly-delivered ramblings.The state is a monopoly on force, and fundamentally all agreements between OPPOSED parties are backed up by the threat of violence. A law that threatens imprisonment or death is a threat, and a law that only fines someone is only a law for the poor. If you and I have a contract and you absolutely refuse to hold up your end, my ultimate recourse is the courts' promise of violence at the end of decades of litigation.Scott didn't say any of that.Scott said ALL MALE INTERACTION is based on violence, as though talking to my dad is the same kind of interaction as entering into a contract and requires an underlying promise of force. What he said was fucking stupid.
>>21831466after getting heat for taking the covid shot he started getting agro with people like this on a regular basis
>>21831491
>>21831499Impressive
>>21831499based
>>21831499this is one of the few times I'll give it to him, because he was likely just fucked up about his stepson's death.
>>21831323new to 4chan are you?
>>21831499what a fucking dipshit lunatic. too bad he couldn't kill himself more than once
>>21831504i think it's telling that his stepson died and he held the belief that he either had to watch people die or kill him
>>21831504>>21831499The really fucked up part of this post isn't a him saying it's pointless to try to help the disaffected or mentally ill.The fucked up part was his stepson was neither of those things. He was in a terrible accident and had severe brain damage.
>>21831499Are you german? You seem to have trouble with hyperbole Scott here does not mean you should murder your son. This is classic reddit taking the absolute worst interpretation of anything and not making any allowance for a man grieving the overdose death of his son. This is why social media is so horrible
>>21831507I'm pretty sure killing him is referring to assisted suicide, but I could be wrong.
>>21831496>Scott didn't say any of that.Twitter posts in general dont have a history of being particularly well written. much like 4chang posts or any other form of social media rambling.Nobody here is claiming he was a genius, or that he wrote the greatest novella's of all time.He was a cartoonist, the elegance lay in the simplicity, saying more with less.
>>21831511I thought it was a fentanyl thing
>>21831512Anon it doesn't need to be literally condoning violence to be a horrifyingly shitty post.Saying that all attempts to help angry or mentally ill men are pointless is an awful awful thing to do.Go fuck yourself, pedant.
odd how this is the fastest thread on /ck/
>>21831519>>21831513His stepson self-medicated the symptoms of his TRAUMATIC BRAIN DAMAGE with Xanax and got sold pills laced with fent and OD'd.>>21831515He stopped being a cartoonist over a decade ago, he described himself as a pundit and self-help guru.Don't give him the benefit of the doubt. He doesn't deserve it.
>>21831505In the old days on 4chan we pretended to be horrible racist people sometimes because it seemed funny. It was like an inside joke and it kept normies away. We were not actually horrible though , not then
>>21831527>He stopped being a cartoonist over a decade agoWhy is picrel (one of his most controversial comics, and that helped lead to his termination) dated 2022?
>>21831530eh we were a little horrible, come on now
>>21831534:D
>>21831532Just gonna call you a retarded pedant that can't read and move on>>21831083The Dilberito is an amazing rabbit hole. I remember seeing Adams going on tirades about how it was being sabotaged for "having a white man on the cover" and how black people were totally hiding the Dilberito on the bottom shelf of the freezer out of racist spite
>>21831521>Saying that all attempts to help angry or mentally ill men are pointless is an awful awful thing to do.He said society gives you two options, he wasnt saying thats a good thing
>>21831541>I didn't read the second tweet in that imageIt's ok, I know you kids were taught three-cue instead of actual reading.
>>21831534I was only pretending
>>21831530>In the old days on 4chan we pretended to be horrible racist people sometimes because it seemed funny. It was like an inside joke and it kept normies away. We were not actually horrible though , not thenplease go back to you know where
>>21831540>"having a white man on the cover" and how black people were totally hiding the Dilberito on the bottom shelf of the freezer out of racist spitelol he never once said that! you are so twisting his words!He said that competitor companies hid his burritos behind other products ( this is common)You are taking rubbish mate but you are pretty fucking good at it!
>>21831540okbut it looks like he was still a cartoonist, to me.
>>21831540The Dilberito looks pretty nasty to be fair. That was probably what was preventing people from buying it.
>>21831544I've got my eye on you, fucker
>>21831551The Dilberito was legit terrible, Scott admitted this freely. He knew he fucked up but it still felt crappy that he did not get a fair shot at the market for his millions of dollars lost.
>>21831554>I've got my eye on you, fuckerare you a mod?
>>21831549I'd say you should read his self-help book for how he really feels but no one should read that book
>>21831559if it's shit then it's shit, having some special place on the shelf isn't going to help with that.
>>21831551>>21831559It was a vegan product in the 90's (strike one)The marketing was terrible with an unappealing box that promised a food experience you would never enjoy (strike two)Word of mouth was awful with even paid reviews damning with faint praise and people getting very sick (strike three)
>>21831563He has written several.Did you mean win bigly?Reframe your brain?Loserthink?
>>21831566This is totally true and was ultimately his conclusion as well. He was still sore about the dirty tricks though
>>21831568I don't think it's in any of thoseIIRC it was in How to Fail at Everything
>>21831104I drowned once. It was just fine>>21831114You have to be at least 35 to post here, kid
>>21831266and thats incredibly based.
>>21831487in 2017 it was
