RIP to the realest one 😭
 
Damn, that sucks. He was a voice of rationality in a chaotic emotional time.

Prostate cancer is an almost inevitable fate for all men if you live long enough, though most die with it, rather than from it. Much like breast cancer, catch it early and it's pretty easily treated, but once it metastasizes it's a losing battle for many.

Prostate cancer is a slow growing cancer. I know drinking the gallon of solution is awful but do your colonoscopies when the doctor tells you to. It could, and frequently does, literally save your life
 
Grew up on Dilbert, and read one of his books as a kid on tech predictions for the future. He suffered a lot in recent times, at least at peace now. RIP.
 
I stopped following most of the online talking heads because it all got so depressing, but I kept listening to his show because he always had an interesting/fun/weird take on things.

Nobody like him, rip.

Colonoscopies are for colon cancer, which is another one that can be caught early and totally cured. 45 folks, start at 45!!

Prostate cancer used to require the old finger up the butt starting at 35 but now it's mostly tracked via blood markers and imaging, I think. I now I always been right under the age for a digital exam and thus have never had one. But my dad and grandfather both got diagnosed with prostate cancer. GF died of a stroke in his late 80's, pissing blood from the cancer but otherwise not systemically affected, and my dad got ultrasound treatment and has had a low PSA ever since.

I've had this one hanging in my cubicle at work for the last 15 years. RIP.

Rest in peace

The comments in Resetera and Reddit are what you can expect from these unhinged lunatics

I cant believe that people are so cold, seriously. We are all humans and life matters, I dont care if you have certain politics beliefs, you are still a human and deserve to be treated as such. I dont know this guy but I cant believe people celebrating his death. Sometimes I just want to leave this degenerate and cruel world and be with the Lord

They celebrate the death of anyone with differing opinions. Just retards being retards.

RIP, Mr. Adams.

I heard the old doctor comment about determining the probability a patient has prostate cancer. It pretty much goes like this.

  • Find out if the person is biologically a woman. (IE has a prostate) If they're are the probability is 0%
  • If not then ask them their age in years
    • Yeah, that's pretty much their probability they have prostate cancer.
Like you say though, for most men prostate cancer doesn't do much. (I had a relative where they pretty much said he might need to worry about it if he makes it to 120. He died a couple years later in his 80s from a heart attack.)

Yeah, this is where it helps to have a lot of uncles. If they are all dropping dead of heart attacks or prostate cancer in their 50's, then yeah you got bad atherosclerotic heart disease or prostate cancer genes and you had better get checked early and often. But if the men in your family are all making it to their 80's then so long as you avoid diabetes or alcoholic liver failure, it seems like its a pretty safe ride till then.

What?! I think I read one of his tweets just yesterday. This is incredibly sad. I first started following him around 2016 when he had his super interesting blogs, but when he went over to vlogging I lost interest. Which made me happy when he popped up on x.com with his interesting comments. He had a very unique mind and point of views. You could easily tell he was very intelligent.

RIP

One of my uncles died in his 70s from a lot of different cancers that spread in his body, another one from stomach cancer in his 30s/40s. Another one has some sort of dementia and the fourth one is very healthy except for some minor heart issues. My dad died recently from a stroke, but he also drank and smoked a lot. My uncles on my mothers side have incredible health. We have diabetes in the family and my grandfather got Parkinsons.

So I have no idea what to plan for to be honest. I try to keep watch for diabetes and any signs of cancers. Just now recently I went to check out a mole since it looked odd and I got sent to a skin doctor(or whatever you call them). I think it's good to be on the watch for stuff, but you also need to live and not worry about everything. Death shouldn't occupy your mind too much whilst alive. Focus on spending time with your loved ones and being a good person.

RIP, haven't seen a ton of Dilbert but Scott seemed like a smart dude and it's tragic he passed so young. Glad he found Jesus and I'll keep him and his family in my prayers.

I don't know why you guys still visit forums full of psychopaths, to be honest. Cut that trash out of your life and call your loved ones instead.
 
Working in an office and reading Dilbert felt like a right of passage into the job grind.

I remember starting in a tech software office back in around '96 and one of the guys had a Dilbert daily calendar. Reading it and getting the jokes made me feel like I was really part of office life.

Adams truly captured the culture of the time. His work is going to feature in history books to help future humans understand what life was like.
