unsubscribed from Scott Adams

Just realized that he's talking half-nonsense, reasonable-looking, but bs. Not sure if his cartoons are not the same kind, and the pointy-haired boss is his role model. Or something.

I've noticed that his writings (& area of interests) have significantly changed after his divorce (not in a good way, unfortunately). It's as if he had a healthful constraint imposed upon himself from within that he eventually lost for some reason.

His cartoons are still hilarious, though.

And for how long you were subscribed?

It's good to read (or watch) Scott Adams occasionally.
But as usual, everything is good in moderation. After some time any original idea starts to seem dull.

I was listening to that podcast today and think that the trigger for unsubscribing being him saying that US and Russia are getting along and fighting ISIS together. I cannot prove or disprove none of that but that I think was the trigger to unsubscribe. I interleave Adams with many other speakers, if so.

Are you referring to this podcast:

?

May be I should listen couple of episodes to find out what he's up to now.

Thanks - I saw some of these podcasts already.
It's interesting to watch some pieces of these Periscope-casts time to time, but not all the time (because there are not that many new ideas there).

[fatoff]

There are these podcasts on YouTube but I have no idea how regularly those updated. As for Periscope people usually use Apple devices to watch/ask questions and the web broadcast has bugs e.g. it stalls until you move the pointer.

Couple of months.

да его комиксы давно не смешные. Во первых одно и то же, а во вторых они застряли в парадигме "умный инженер Дилберт и тупой pointy-haired boss". Ну и расисткие (Валли, например).

По-моему он сто лет уже не ступал в компанию чтоб узнать, как оно изнутри сейчас. Как и в другое тоже.
