1 - wtf?
Yep, that one. His political views are out of whack anyhow, but he really seems to be sliding off into some...other....space now.Scott Adams, as in the dude who writes/wrote Dilbert!?
what the actual mother of fuck....
Is this the first time you've encountered how crazy he's become?Scott Adams, as in the dude who writes/wrote Dilbert!?

His stepson died of an overdose. He had been worried up until that point that his stepson was showing all the signs of becoming a mass shooter. He is relieved he only took himself when he died. He rejects the idea that therapy helps anything. He saw his only two choices were to report his son (which is tantamount to killing him because they'd lock him up until he died) or do nothing and hope he didn't kill anybody.1 - wtf?
2 - what's the context for this? I feel like I'm missing something.
I see.His stepson died of an overdose. He had been worried up until that point that his stepson was showing all the signs of becoming a mass shooter. He is relieved he only took himself when he died. He rejects the idea that therapy helps anything. He saw his only two choices were to report his son (which is tantamount to killing him because they'd lock him up until he died) or do nothing and hope he didn't kill anybody.
He's a right-wing nutjob. Getting his son help would require cutting ties to his extremist views. Right-wing propaganda is the source of his son's problems, and getting his son out of that environment is the only fix. However, Scott Adams is 100% invested in that culture himself. He says that "therapy doesn't work", and that's only correct if the person going to therapy is unwilling to change their environment. People who go in for treatment for drug addition, and then get out and go right back to hanging out with the same people who got them into drugs in the first place don't succeed. You can't get a person away from thoughts of violence if they're constantly surrounding themselves with people who promote violence.I would be most interested to know how he convinced himself that these were the only two possible choices.
Because if there are any other possibilities then he would have to admit he's a terrible person.I would be most interested to know how he convinced himself that these were the only two possible choices.

You got me good on this one. I was like WHAT?!? And then my brain kicked in.I did watch the Great Mouse Detective remake with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law. That was pretty good.
Ok I need the onion explained to me, I don't quite understand that level of crazy.I am very glad my parents didn't suck this bad.
I’m guessing it was the style at the time.Ok I need the onion explained to me, I don't quite understand that level of crazy.

It’s apparently a 16th century (or older?) myth that putting onions around your house can ward off plague.I’m guessing it was the style at the time.
