The Dilbert cartoon was fairly funny despite some weird 90s moments and like a weird "DIlbert Gets pregnant and sends his kid to live on Krypton with Kal-El" finale. To steal a line from Plinket, the funny parts are so funny I have a feeling Scott wasn't involved with any of them and actively fought against their inclusion. It was definitely one of those shows that shouldn't've gone on any longer than it did, tho.

I remember liking the dilbert show when it was on, but havent seen it since it aired. I also remember a bit from one of his books where he said pretend to be psychic by telling your overweight co-worker that you can tell they like renting movies and eating ice cream.

In this universe, there are only two objects: you and a huge planet-sized ball. There is no gravity in this hypothetical reality in the classic sense of objects being attracted to each other. There is only one rule: Every piece of matter in this universe is constantly expanding, doubling in size every second. You wouldn't notice the doubling, because both you and the huge ball would remain in the same proportion to each other. There would be no other reference points. And you wouldn't feel your own matter doubling any more than you feel the activity of the atoms in your body now. In your current universe, you don't feel your skin cells dying, and you don't feel yourself being propelled at high velocity around the Sun or spinning with the Earth's rotation. So it shouldn't be hard to imagine how you could be doubling in size every second without being aware of it in the hypothetical universe. The only effect you would feel from this doubling in size is the illusion of gravity. The ball's growth would cause a constant pushing against you. If you tried to "jump" away from the growing ball, you would create some space temporarily, but the ball's growth would catch up with you and close The distance quickly To you, it would feel as though you were attracted to the huge ball and whenever you jumped "up," you would be sucked back down to it. There would be no gravity, but it would look and feel exactly like gravity. Visually, it would seem that the huge ball had more "gravitational pull" than you do, because you seem to be attracted to it and not the other way around. This corresponds to our classic view of gravity‹that huge objects have more of it. Imagine a marble and a bowling ball. Now imagine they both instantly double in size. The marble still looks pretty much like a marble, but the bowling ball appears huge. When a large object doubles in size, it seems to have a disproportionately significant impact compared to a smaller object. So if gravity is an optical illusion, large objects would appear to create more of the illusion than smaller objects. That's consistent with what we see. Now let's move from the hypothetical universe to our current universe filled with planets and other matter. You'd have to add another rule in order for the expanding matter theory to replace gravity in the current universe. You'd have to have a universe where all the major planets are moving away from each other quickly, otherwise they'd grow until they all bumped together. In fact, the current universe does appear to be expanding, so that's no obstacle to the expanding matter theory. I can't think of anything in the "real" universe that would contradict the notion of gravity being an illusion caused by expanding matter.

grittyreboot posted:I seem to remember Dogbert was originally named Dildog. I can't find any info on it, but I choose to believe it's real. My memory is that Dildog was an alternative name - that might even have been used - but Dogbert won out. Back at the beginning, Adams had a real eye for the absurdity of corporate life and I've met more than one person who found early Dilbert eerily like their real job. And the early Dilbert books had some good observations and anecdotes. There's a reason the strip was so popular. But Adams has gradually lost it and theres probably a multitude of reasons: been too long a millionaire, been too long since anyone said 'no' to him, been too long since he worked in an office, various business failures, wife left him, death of son, addicted to attention, strange psychological disorder related to loss of voice, just doesn't care anymore, foundational identity as smartass re-emerging ...

If I ever become famous enough to become moderately wealthy, i will just gently caress off and become a recluse to avoid becoming what literally everyone who becomes rich/famous becomes. So basically what I am now except with money.

If you aren't being chased through hallways Scooby Doo-style by the people wanting to kill you, then you have literally zero reason to be scared at violent people attacking your current location.

OwlFancier posted:Yes but I don't have any idea what she has in her underwear other than presumably a firearm. This is extra weird because Blaire White was at one point pretty open/pretty certain about not wanting "the surgery" (her words, not mine). I only remember this because I thought it was odd coming from someone who is SO SET on trans women behaving/doing X, Y, and Z or else they're not "legit trans".

Tired: passing out at a party and making GBS threads your pants. Wired: setting up a playpen on campus and wearing a diaper as a form of "owning the libs", trust me, it's DEFINITELY not a fetish thing, I swear!!! Please don't take photos and post them all over the internet, I would HATE that so much.
