Good rest in piss.

I'll much rather remember Scott Adams, the guy who described a Pointy-Haired Boss (for the youngsters who never read Dilbert, think of Elon Musk's Twitter takeover days), not Scott Adams, the guy who recently desperately tried to rehabilitate the Pointy-Haired Boss character to be more reasonable. (Because that has never actually happened in the actual industry. Dilbert was meant to be a satire of what actually happens in the industry. Pointy-Haired Bosses are eternal.)

Also I never forget the experience of reading The Dilbert Principle (1996) for the first time. "Oh yeah! Most of this stuff is pretty good! Except this one about female coworkers, yeaaahhh, this is a little bit suspect." (Again, for the youngsters, we didn't have "sus" back in the day.) Foreshadowing is a literary device wh-

I thought God’s Debris was a pretty good book. Too bad he became a shit human. I mourn only that.

Wow, the only thing worse than dying of prostate cancer is begging someone who doesn't give a shit about you for help while dying of prostate cancer.

I gotta admit, I'm pretty disappointed that people are laughing at him for having had cancer.

I get it, the guy was a dick, but laughing at someone having cancer is pretty shitty tbh. My punch biopsy came back clean for my mole earlier this year after waiting for results for 35 days (try enjoying your holiday break while a possible cancer diagnosis is in the back of your mind the entire time) but I would have been pretty upset if it came back as cancer and then I found this thread with people actually laughing at someone for having had cancer. I've had relatives die from cancer, it's not really something to laugh about.

The guy was a dick, sure, but making fun of cancer isn't cool. There, I said it, you can all disagree with me now for not being extreme enough.

RIP. Regardless of his political views, he was a man and he created things. My condolences to his family.

That's not a good criteria, there's alot of terrible people you'd be saying rip to. For instance, guess who painted this:

Didn't he end the reign of one of the worst dictators to ever live (at the cost of his own life)?
