Honestly, the thought process is probably:

I, Scott Adams, am a master persuader who can use my words to accomplish literally anything that's possible.

I was not able to persuade my son to stop abusing opioids.

Therefore, it was not possible to stop my son from abusing opioids.

One more step:

Therefore, it is not possible to stop anyone'sson from abusing any drug.

Again a very likpatous story

Neito posted:

She also told him she had breast cancer and his response was "great, another reason for you to not have sex with me".

Between that and the election night video where he was hooting and hollering when Trump won, while she was on the couch looking a little miserable, I wonder why she even dated him at all. Like, she had to know what kind of person he was, right? He didn't really hide it.

The cynic in me says maybe she just dated him to get notoriety as "Scott Adams' girlfriend" to boost her Instagram model career, but there's no real proof of that. It just seems like she wasn't actually all that interested in him.

I believe this is actually true. At least partially. It's projection again because this is what think the DNC does with MSNBC and CNN and justify what they do as providing balance in this regard.

Scott Adams is cool, because like all wealthy dudes with an incel mindset any relationships he gets into "doesn't count" because he assumes his exes wanted his money and not say, his intellect. Their mindset clicks into place when you realize that the belief that society is cockblocking them isn't a fear, but their greatest wish. It's not them that's flawed, but the system itself that keeps their masculinity in a cage.

After listening to a Guru podcast that featured an episode about Scott Adams i am no longer surprised to see what new nihilistic nonsense he tweets. The dude has some bleak ideas about nearly everything and he has the confidence to believe he's arrived at these conclusions by being of superior intellect (and not by being an unbelievable rear end in a top hat)

The dude is sick.

I know it was his stepson that died, but does he have any biological kids? Like I said before, I really wonder how awful it must be to have a dad like this. Reading his lovely tweets is one thing but imagine having to live with the rear end in a top hat!

Adams is the kind of socially awkward nerd who thinks that learning social skills in adulthood is some kind of Bene Gesserit technique. He read PUA books or something and now he thinks he's a scientist of human nature.

I say specific words and make specific facial gestures, and people respond how I want! Obviously, I'm acting upon their blank mental canvas, and it's not in fact normal two-way communication that I'm too machiavellian to perceive.

He’s down a massive amount in share value and will be out a billion more. Maybe even more when Twitter files their counter suit that he broke the contract against its terms.

It was also obvious pretty soon after this sale was agreed to that he was going to find some way to try and weasel out.

Honestly they should ban him immediately since he’s involved in pending litigation.

That’s the funniest outcome. Also him being forced to buy Twitter to the tune of billions and billions of dollars against his will.

Their claim is that no criminal complaint was made, the only source of the story came from a pro abortion doctor and that it is still legal for a minor to get an abortion under those circumstances so she wouldn't have had to go out of state.

They are claiming the story was fabricated by pro choice activists for shock value.
