@BestGirlGrace "the Dilberito came in flavors of Mexican, Indian, Barbecue, and Garlic & Herb"What the fuck does that even mean? What kind of flavor is Indian burrito?

I was a dumb kid once, and I went through a phase where I liked Dilbert and read the guy's books and everything. Looking back, he complained a lot about how hard, like, grocery shopping and eating healthy are

@audrey I was gonna bring this up because I remember playing this game as a kid! I hope you're all happy because I managed to beat the game to show you that, when you win, it shows Dilbert dancing on your enemy's grave.

@VyrCossont It's very much an idea some proto-techbro dipshit (of which Adams is one of the most prominent) would engineer. Honestly, it's more effort than the Soylent guy, who just put all the vitamins you need in a blender

@fluffy Yeah, I used to read a lot of his books because I was a kid with bad taste once, and he talks kind of a lot about how he believes he can think things real and how once he got a psychic stock tip. He's gone off the deep end since 2016, as you might imagine

@MadelineClimbs @feminineforms @andi So this was a while ago, and his ideas have gotten much worse since 2016, but:- he thinks that we're constantly moving through still universes that create the illusion of movement when we experience them in sequence, like how still animation cells can be shown rapidly to create the illusion of movement, and that you can choose which branch you take through force of will alone- https://radical.town/@wintgenstein/101237849763768373- he's a huge Trump guy and MRA since 2016 or so- believes a bunch of crackpot stuff about hypnosis. as opposed to me, which only believes horny things about hypnosis

@wintgenstein Wikipedia says "Adams said that he temporarily endorsed Hillary Clinton purely out of fear for his own life, stating he had received direct and indirect death threats.[43] In late September, however, Adams officially switched his endorsement from Clinton to Trump. Among his primary reasons for the switch were his respect for Trump's persuasion skills over Clinton's, Clinton's proposal to raise the inheritance tax to 65%, and his concerns over Clinton's health.[44] Adams states that writing about Donald Trump ended his speaking career and reduced his income by about 40%.[43]" so he really only cares about his fuckin' money

@wintgenstein I remember some self-deprecating humor from his books, but I also know that a lot of his ideas come from reader and coworker suggestions. Or just dealing with his boss, since in a big company like (I think he worked for Bell or something), there's plenty of layers of dipshit management above you even if you're a manager
