He seems intelligent. Unfortunately, he can't come to the correct conclusions on many things... Never progressed at work because of diversity hires? Then he says his work was poor and fraught with errors. Couldn't talk to people and it "may" have been a mental disease? Doesn't read newspapers, but watches tv for news. He's a few rungs below John McAfee on the successful but crazy ladder, but he's gaining.Pruitt wrote:Whoa.

Re: Comics
So once in awhile i head over to gocomics and scan a few of my favorites and some old classics. But here is my question...what kind of people feel the need to comment on the strips using the comment features on the page (take a read and you will see what I mean).

Randomly chose "B.C." and I see what you mean. Are they frustrated writers? People showing off their comedy skills? Why?

New stuff from Gary Larson
I don’t want to mislead anyone here. This corner of the website—“New Stuff”—is not a resurrection of The Far Side daily cartoons.

I just wrote a letter to the Seattle Times asking them to drop the Dilbert strip, on the grounds that Scott Adams is lying sack-of-shit Trump supporter (worded more diplomatically of course).

Re: Comics
Goddamn the replies were depressing. A long list of people saying that when an overwhelming majority of scientists agree, and a small minority disagree, always trust the small minority. Like climate change, where the majority are blinded by their allegiance to "science", which profits off of climate fear, while the minority, who happen to be paid by the fossil fuel industry, have no financial motivation to say there is no danger in climate change.Pruitt wrote: ↑Wed Jun 09, 2021 8:55 pmDaveInSeattle wrote: ↑Mon Jan 11, 2021 11:56 amI've also sent a letter to the Comic syndicate that publishes the strip.DaveInSeattle wrote: ↑Sat Jan 09, 2021 1:20 pm I just wrote a letter to the Seattle Times asking them to drop the Dilbert strip, on the grounds that Scott Adams is lying sack-of-shit Trump supporter (worded more diplomatically of course).

Jesus Christ. I used to like Dilbert! How does someone's brain get like that?

Re: Comics
LOL and wtf with the notion of "if a small # of scientists disagree with the prevailing science, always side with the minority #."

There's a joke to be had about natural philosophers and events that led to the enlightenment, but I'm not smart enough to come up with it. Maybe back when I'd slogged through Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle...
It probably involves Enoch Root, actually.

Re: Comics
I think the Conservative mind has a problem believing scientists can be motivated by seeking truth rather than money, so they assume the majority of scientists are swayed to fake findings to prove whatever point financially profits them. I'm not naive to believe that some aren't swayed by financial profits, but most aren't. I also know some are blinded by a confirmation bias or wanting their theory to prove "correct," but when evidence is overwhelming, sometimes (almost always) that's because it's truth.
