The GOP is still morally corrupt, even if Discourse breaks

I didn’t believe I could think any less of Scott Adams, but goddamn. Proven wrong again.

jpinard · 2019-07-29T18:23:17.792Z

Take calls for money? WTF is he talking about?

KevinC · 2019-07-29T18:24:18.503Z

Just that. Set your price to be interviewed by a news outlet. I’m sure financial incentives won’t have any impact on stories and accounts being exaggerated or fabricated or anything.

And it’s his own app, so you can relax, knowing your info is safe in good hands.

Nesrie · 2019-07-29T19:36:43.547Z

So it’s a real thing? We have an application that lets eye witnesses get paid to tell the world what happened?

KevinC · 2019-07-29T19:42:08.084Z

Sadly, yeah.

WhenHub dot com is the site.

Nesrie · 2019-07-29T19:45:44.787Z

Okay but it looks like that is used for some other things, but can also be used for this. That makes me feel a little better.

There is something sick about the idea of a product existing solely for the reason of allowing eyewitnesses a chance to charge others for their perspective on what happened.

KevinC · 2019-07-29T19:47:02.259Z

Agreed. Pretty sick of him to hop on board a mass shooting in order to push his shitty app too. What is wrong with people like that?

vyshka · 2019-07-29T19:48:21.656Z

I guess Dilbert and a the “I was a dumbass, but still succeeded in life” self-help book aren’t enough to pay the bills any longer.

wavey · 2019-07-29T23:34:09.881Z

Ugh. I wonder if Dilbert characters will suddenly start using this ghoulish service?

My favorite part about Scott Adams's baffling start-up is that it's based on a near-worthless cryptocurrency. Shortly before he launched it, all the characters in Dilbert started talking about how great cryptocurrencies are. What a coincidence! thedailybeast.com/dilbert-creato… https://t.co/tNyhrMpjGf

I remember when silver was just a funny comic about corporate bullshit, before Scott Adams started talking in public.

Sharpe · 2019-07-30T00:12:26.302Z

Timex:

silver

30 pieces of? (in reference to Scott Adams…)

Timex · 2019-07-30T00:33:53.803Z

Dilbert is apparently silver

Gordon_Cameron · 2019-07-30T02:45:52.241Z

Take notes; Timex has an oracular autocorrect.

Timex · 2019-07-30T03:35:44.443Z

Most of my auto-correct magic happens when I’m on my phone, and I use Google’s gesture typing, which periodically picks words that are nothing like the intended word, but which contain letters that are in close proximity on the keyboard.

Dilbert
Silver

D is next to S, B is next to V, and the T is at the end of ert, and so could get ignored.

There’s a method to the madness.

Mark_Asher · 2019-07-30T03:39:36.559Z

Autocorrect the new Ambien?

kerzain · 2019-07-30T04:19:44.340Z

Happy to see at least one… news outlet… call out Scott Adams for what he is, even if it is just Gizmodo.

Dilbert Creator Scott Adams Uses Gilroy Mass Shooting to Promote His App

When a gunman opened fire at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in Gilroy, California, on Sunday evening, killing at least three people, including a 6-year-old boy, and wounding 12 others, Dilbert creator Scott Adams apparently saw a juicy marketing...

Scott Adams, like Orson Scott Card, is one of the few artists I can’t separate from their art :(

I’m often tempted to go ahead and leave in everything Swiftkey guesses for me.
