Dilbert's Scott Adams reveals terminal cancer diagnosis

F**k Cancer

 

Not a fan of his, but Cancer sucks and I don't wish that on anyone..........knowing you have months to live has got to be mentally exhausting

 

Been thinking about this and how to frame it without dipping into D&D territory.

Essentially, it's a shame that people are dying from their immune systems being lowered by constant stress brought on by political polarization. One of my closest friends died of a heart attack at the age of 43 a few years ago. He had gotten sucked deep into politics and it's all he would talk about. That, coupled with an unhealthy lifestyle and a refusal to take vaccines is what I think lead to his untimely demise.

It can be any sort of political slant. It doesn't have to be what Scott Adams believes in. But this fear/hate/anger constantly literally breaks your body down. The science is out there in scads, so I don't need to cite anything.

Dilbert is a hilarious funnies strip that anyone who has worked in a large company can relate to. I hope SA finds peace in death.

 

I'm sorry for him. 67 is a lot younger than the 80-whatever that Biden is.

 

I think it is a mixture of life stresses (politics etc) and general body maintenance
He mentioned he had it longer than Biden . . . .I cannot help but think that means they didn't catch it in time
Meaning had he had earlier check ups . .. he might have beat it

Which gets into the Universal Healthcare part of things
but
It would not matter if people don't use it and go to the Doctor

I may not care for his current politics but I always like the Cartoon
I wish him nothing but peace and wellbeing.

Dilbert guy obviously has resources to go to the doc. Most men are stubborn ‘too tough’ to go. Pride is the deadliest sin.

60 is the age, gentlemen. Get your **** together or it’s a cliff.

 

Agreed! Get yourself check from the Rooter to the Tooterr
MOVE and be active

dunno about dilbert since i don't watch comics much, but they should make it into a movie

 

turns out all that racism he was spewing ain’t good for your health

 

**** cancer.
**** Scott Adams.

 

20 years ago, closer to Dilbert's heyday, I was quoting something hilarious from Dilbert (can't remember which one now) to a coworker who'd just started work at the office. He didn't smile, just shrugged. "I've never understood Dilbert."

Months later somehow we came back to that conversation. He said, "I used to not 'get' Dilbert. Now that I've worked in an office environment? I get it now."

Like my Brazilian-born wife used to scold me when I dropped f-bombs. That was her before she entered the American workforce. Now she drops her own f-bombs. Working in an American office space ("hey, Peter, what's happening?") will do that.

 

Real hard for me to bite my tongue so I won't...ever notice how people 'accept Jesus' when they're on the way out? Like, hey, didn't really believe until I was at death's door but I'd better cover the bases now.

 

They did that with my dad: "Sure, I believe in Jesus." Well, if you see the end, you want to cover your bases; but the same preacher at Dad's funeral was saying things like, "What's wrong with fearing God?" and all this nonsense.

He was my dad's best friend's preacher. After the service they introduced him to me and I could tell the dude was waiting for a "thank you, what a beautiful service" but that wasn't on the table. I wanted to say, "'What's wrong with fearing God?' Are you stupid? What's with the Old Testament bulls**t? If you got my dad to 'praise Jesus' on his deathbed, are we forgetting the Son had a very different message than the Father? Hallelujah."

 

It's all dependent on whether you believe it or not. Only that person and God really knows whether he truly accepted at the end or not. Personally, I take their word and hope they are being honest.

RIP Scott Adams.

 

True, and I agree, maybe they do find some sort of spiritual awakening at the end.

 

Color me not shocked he took the most weaselly way out of this mortal coil possible, pascal's wager.

 

Spoiler

 

He literally said he was only doing it just in case

I was a big Dilbert fan
Until he started talking . . .. . HE was such a distasteful that it tainted his product
and even my memories of them

I almost feel ashamed I like them so much

He finally got away from the Black People . . . .which he desired so much
