Adams had reportedly been receiving end-of-life care for the past week, just over six months after he announced his prostate cancer had spread to his bones

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

      It wasn’t just “political views” - his stances weren’t merely ones of policy, and he repeatedly made statements that made clear he thought that anyone who wasn’t a white male was a lesser human. He spread racism and misogyny with nearly every breath. He deserves no rest and no peace.

      Nah he was a piece of shit, bye. I hope his family reads this, too. It’s good to know what people think of you. Maybe they’ll make better choices.

      Enough of this soft hand bullshit, fascist racists deserve to die.

      I’ll never forget when Scott Adams told “white people to get the hell away from black people”. Condolences to the worms that eat his face.

      When a piece of shit finally shrugs of this mortal coil and we no longer need to confront their hate, that’s a good thing. Rest in Piss Dilbert guy

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

Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.

If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.

All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description.
