What bothers me about the Scott Adams stuff is that the Dilbert comic (back when I used to read it) was funny, smart and self aware. While Scott Adams himself seems to be the opposite.

Most of the jokes were sent in by readers after the first couple of years. But yeah, the characters were funny. It's weird that he had that ability while being so profoundly arrogant and delusional.

Size and shape counts for little. It's all about how you carry yourself.

Look at the movie "Casino" In it Joe Pesci. A short, old, below average looking guy gets a blow job from Sharon Stone. At the time easily considered one of the most beautiful women in the world.

Even though she should be way out of his league. He seems too good for her. And he doesn't even play a nice guy or even a rich guy.

Because everything expands away from each other except obviously when it doesn't which means that stuff falls except when it doesn't jeez it's like you haven't even read what office drone joke man thinks.

Alternate joke: Scott just writes down that he wants orbits to work so they do.

Now I'm not on the level of his genius intellect, but what's the point of trying to prove that gravity isn't a thing?

Colander Crotch posted:

He goes on to state in that book that if you accept this then you can eventually break the bounds of gravity by... something. I don't remember the rambling screed after most of that. I only ever read his books because I was like "He is funny in the comics" and at that time I would finish any book I started, so I forced my way through the rest of that one.

Scott Adams is a dumb bad person for a lot of reasons that he proudly displays in all his works but that passage is explicitly marked as a thought experiment in context of trying to visualize accepted things in different ways. Adams himself points out like three ways it's obviously untrue on the same page. He wasn't trying to "disprove gravity" or whatever nonsense you're talking about.

I googled Scott Adams and figured that with the opinions this guys holds. Surely he's easily 80 years old and just lashing out with the last of his senility like Clink Eastwood before passing on. Seems not.

Yes I agree. I also think that all those people who complain about the FRIENDZONE but 100% have met people who like them but were ugly and therefore ignored. Like if you believe in the friendzone you should be thankful for it cos it's the only thing preventing you from being legally obliged to ride a swamp donkey.

Swamp donkey, hedge pig, heffer etc. are all the same thing. I did have a friend who told me that swamp donkey is a technical term for a very specific type of girl but I think it entered the common parlance as a more general term.

Yeah. They're defense right now is just "We're just enforcing these rules we made." and thinking that makes everything fine.
