    I admit I haven’t read Dilbert in ages (never really saw it unless one went viral). But it seems to me that 30 years is a long time to do cube rat jokes. Surely it was played out anyway.

    Besides, I’m sure he’s very wealthy.

    Only non-witches get due process.

      What I don't understand, is how the Post can state, "3 people are typing" at the top of the page. How do they know anybody's doing anything on their computer, until they click "submit?"

      As for the content of the article, yeah whatever, I couldn't concentrate as I was so offended by the typing issue.

        So what about the Rasmussen survey? Anyone want to address that finding?

          I’m sure literally everyone here thinks it’s a sad state of affairs and isn’t particularly surprised about it. It’s what identity politics does.

          It also creates an similar reaction in a lot of whites - such as Scott Adams.

            And that is a feature, not a bug.

              Actually, it shows you where racism really exists.

                The question I would be curious to know the answer to is how many white people think it’s okay to be white?

                    I am as well, but I bet a poll would come back under 80%…

                      All I can find so far are these: https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/lifestyle/general_lifestyle/january_2023/not_woke_yet_most_voters_reject_anti_white_beliefs

                      That's just a "teaser" press release telling you snippets about the survey. The rest are paywalled behind something Rasmussen calls "Platinum account." :man-shrugging:

                                  His comments were a little strange, but it's a shame just comments can get folks canceled. It's like... do you think there would be a mass un-subscribing from newspapers just because it includes a comic strip by a guy who made some comments in a podcast? Then again, not sure how many people subscribe BECAUSE the Dilbert strip is included.
