  Had to make a business phone call today, and the young person I spoke with said "Perfect!" and "No worries!" a lot. A lot.

  Richard Dawkins has been a disappointment to critical thinkers for decades, therefore his uncritical take on AI comes as no surprise at all. I mean, if he had been alive in the 18th century, he would have believed the Mechanical Turk could play chess.

  I like this idea for compact #baseball scoring -- just draw a line under each inning, start the next inning in the same column. Hmm. I'm considering a DIY version... https://store.72doubleplay.com/product/small-ball-scorebook-green-cover

  Just thinking about when that cruise line used Iggy's "Lust for Life" in their ads, leaving out the bits about liquor & drugs, torture films, sleeping on the sidewalk and having it in the ear before. They might have at least left in the line "Hey man, where'd you get that lotion," but no.

  Personally, I want generals like FDR had.

  Sometimes I wonder what the world would be like had it learned anything from the pandemic. Anything at all.

  Whenever I saw a disproportionate number of #Dilbert comics in one cubicle, I knew to avoid that person. They were clearly the asshole in the office, and they were usually on a hair trigger. I once saw a cubicle that was practically wallpapered with Dilbert comics, including several where he had labeled the characters with co-workers’ names, and then pinned them on the OUTSIDE of his cube. Yikes! Steer clear of that dude! 3/9

  The #Dilbert gauge never failed me. The more Dilbert comic strips I saw, the nastier the place was. I worked at a one place where Dilbert was banned. Specifically, just Dilbert. Sounds extreme, but the bosses knew exactly what #ScottAdams was peddling, and they didn’t want any. That office ran smoothly and was among the nicest. 5/9

  If virtually every cubicle had more than one #Dilbert comic pinned up, I knew everyone working there disliked each other. The atmosphere probably wasn’t going to be too terrible for me as a temp, but I wouldn’t want to work there permanently. 2/9

  If there was even one #Dilbert comic pinned up to a communal bulletin board, watch out! The hatred went from workers up AND management down. God forbid someone had used the photocopier to enlarge it; that meant they wanted everyone to see how much they hated everyone. In this last situation, I would usually call my agency at the end of the day and ask if they had any other assignments. If I saw Dilbert plush toys, I’d just tell my agency I couldn’t continue the assignment. 4/9

  My #ScottAdams Story In the 1990s, I worked as an office temp. I logged a lot of hours in a lot of different offices, and I had an instant and accurate way to sense how dysfunctional and toxic a workplace was as soon as I walked in. I took note of how many #Dilbert comics were pinned up, and where. If I saw one or two #Dilbert comics scattered around, I knew people had their gripes and complaints about their co-workers, but it was nothing too serious. 1/9
